Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won! - Chapter 706 Learning a Craft

Hearing this, Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Don't feel pressured. Sifang Island is in a very special location and its function is different from other places. If anyone doesn't want to stay on the island, they can go to the city."

Mayor Tang sighed, "Who doesn't want to go to the city? There are fewer and fewer seafood resources now, and the villagers' boats are making less and less money. I want to go to the city, but the housing prices in the city are too high. We don't have any compensation for demolition, and we can't afford to buy a house in the city, so we can only envy."

"Now that Meilan said there are good projects, I am very curious. I want to do more to help the villagers on the island increase their income. Whether they stay on the island or go to the city, they will have money in their hands and live a better life, so there will be fewer complaints."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "It's hard for you."

The Tang family has its roots here. Although Mayor Tang envied the city, he did not want to go there. However, with the outflow of population, the number of people on the island is decreasing. Even though the island is backed by a military hospital, the medical resources will not decrease, but the educational resources will definitely decrease.

The most fatal thing is that the children who cannot leave Sifang Island will not be able to receive a good education.

Mayor Tang attaches great importance to education. He does not ask for children to become successful, but he hopes that children can read and gain knowledge and master basic knowledge.

Just as Mayor Tang was chatting with Mr. Liu, Liu Meilan and Fu Chen arrived.

Liu Meilan replied: "Pearl farming."

"Ah?" Mayor Tang was stunned. "This thing requires a lot of technology, right?"

"Since I mentioned it, there must be relevant technology." Liu Meilan smiled, "There are many small islands around our Sifang Island, which are most suitable for cultivating pearls. Last year, I caught a lot of white lipped oysters and black lipped oysters. Xiaoyu and I made a lot of jewelry. After dinner, I will go over there to catch some. I guarantee that you will think they are good after you see them."

When Mayor Tang heard that there was technology, he rubbed his hands with joy and said, "Meilan, if you think it's good, then I think it can be done. Who are we going to sell the cultured pearls to?"

Mayor Tang was stunned. "Meilan, can Dafu Jewelry build a processing plant on our island?"

Liu Meilan replied: "Some jade processing is not suitable for our island, and they have already built processing plants outside. But some precious jewelry such as pearls can be made on the island. This can also solve some employment problems."

"Yes, yes, yes, good, good!" Mayor Tang smiled, his face flushed with excitement. "Meilan, you said there were several projects, do you have any more?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes! Farmed seafood."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's because your breeding technology was not good before. Now there is new technology in fishery breeding. I paid them to study what is suitable for breeding on our Sifang Island. They now have a plan and have cultivated seafood varieties suitable for us."

"We have wild seafood, but farmed ones can't be sold at a high price!" Mayor Tang frowned, "Meilan, can we sell what we farm?"

"Yes! Believe me!" Liu Meilan replied, "Uncle Tang, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and now the demand for seafood is too great. Wild seafood is already in short supply. Now the fishing ban is strictly enforced, and there is no fishing for four and a half months. The seafood brought back by ocean-going fishing boats may not be able to meet the demand, and it is still frozen. At this time, farmed seafood is at least fresh and can be shipped just in time for the fishing ban, so the price will not be low."

Mayor Tang saw Liu Meilan speaking so confidently and recalled that his family's seafood farming was frustrated by the fishing ban. "Meilan, if you let others do seafood farming, they may not be willing to do it. Let my family do it first and I'll raise it first."

"It seems we still have to look for food in the sea," Mayor Tang said with emotion.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. There are no other resources on Sifang Island, so we can only find ways to use the sea. Later, I will find ways to come up with some good projects with high profits to increase the income of the villagers on Sifang Island."

"Meilan, thank you so much." Mayor Tang expressed his gratitude. Liu Meilan was equivalent to the entire leadership team in their town.

Liu Meilan waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. When I jumped into the sea and fell into poverty, it was Sifang Island that took me in and protected me. I was able to start my life again and find my family. Sifang Island is my blessed land. I like the land and people here."

Mayor Tang scratched his nose with his finger, "Yes, this is a good idea. My eldest grandson's grades were not good and he didn't get into high school. I wanted to send him to the army, but he has been weak since he was a child. Even if I can use my connections to get him in, he may not be able to bear it."

"Learning to make jewelry is a skill, and it protects you from wind and rain, which is good. There are many such children on our island. I will go and make a census. If it doesn't work, I can organize these children in the name of the town government and provide them with skills training."

Liu Meilan smiled, "Yes! Yesterday I met a friend. She and her brother have the family skill of making candied haws. Now they have opened the brand of Sweet Candied Haws. The stall has been opened in my second brother's shopping mall, and there is also a half franchise store outside. Her brother makes candied haws in the workshop and delivers them to the franchise store. You can make money now. Don't work on the assembly line or be a waiter. These are jobs for young people. The longer you work, the more rigid your mind will be. Even if you go to the city, if you have some skills, you can make more money than these people."
