A good spring day is worse than a dream, in which the herbs are fragrant.

This statement is wrong. The spring scenery of the island in April is really more beautiful than in dreams, and the island really smells of red flowers and green grass.

The island is prone to fog in spring, and the fog locks the sea surface, making it enchanting and hazy.

But now the sun comes out earlier, and the sunshine is getting warmer. As soon as the light shines on the birds, the spring mist gradually disperses, and the ocean reveals its true appearance, as does the islands and mountains hanging above the water.

Wang Yi and Qiu Weishui walked all the way up, breathing in the morning mist of spring, feeling refreshed.

There is frost in late autumn and dew on spring nights. This is formed by mist meeting weathered water. When it wets the trees on the island and is blown by the sea breeze, it becomes a rain of apricot blossoms.

Wild vegetables are also nourished, and green onions can be seen growing in the cracks of stones inadvertently, but the more popular one is green mugwort.

Green mugwort is tender mugwort, which is nourished by spring wind, rain and dew. It is the most tender now. Some people on the island get up early to pick green mugwort.

Green mugwort that has not been exposed to sunlight will have less of a weed smell, and women on the outer islands will use it to make green mugwort cakes.

Wang Yi casually greeted the women who got up early: "Aunt Shanhua got up very early. Are you getting up to clean up the green mugwort?"

"Second sister-in-law, you are really good. You hugged so many green moxa, you can do it..."

The women greeted him in return.

Man Shanhua directly bundled the green mugwort with a thatch rope and stuffed it to Wang Yi: "Take it back to make mugwort cakes. It's delicious and can dispel wind and evil spirits."

Wang Yi laughed dumbly.

Too enthusiastic.

Other women also wanted to collect green mugwort and give it to him. Seeing this, he quickly took Qiu Weishui down the mountain to the seaside.

The tide surges, its sound is roaring.

The surging white waves were still as strong as before, but at this time the sea water had begun to turn green, and the gentle spring breeze seemed to make the waves softer.

As the saying goes, fresh green and tender yellow are the most soothing to people.

The green ones are wild vegetables and mugwort, and the yellow ones are small seafoods. Nowadays, small seafoods are more active, especially yellow snails are most abundant at this time——

As the old saying goes, on the third day of the third lunar month, yellow snails climb onto the beach.

Now that the season has arrived, some fishermen who like to catch the sea get up early and explore around on the beaches and islands. There are yellow snails in the bamboo baskets around them.

The rocks and the sea are comfortable at least in late spring and late summer.

However, the weather in the outer islands is good. At this time, the temperature has risen and the sea water is no longer bitter. The fishermen have adapted to the temperature and rolled up their trousers and went into the water.

Not only yellow snails, but also sea melon seeds, sweet snails, clams, etc. can also be harvested. Many small seafoods are rich and plump from winter to spring, and they are all delicious.

These things are also absolutely delicious!

Wang Xianghong squatted on the pier, smoking and looking at the sea. When she saw the couple approaching, she waved and said hello.

Wang Yi came over and asked: "Captain, are you looking at the wind?"

Wang Xianghong nodded: "Well, let's see how the wind is today and how the sea conditions are."

Wang Yi asked: "There are weather forecasts on the radio and TV, so do you still need to watch the wind?"

Looking at the wind is like looking at the sea and the weather.

As the saying goes, the east wind brings rain, the west wind blows up soil, the east wind makes things muddy, and the west wind makes things clear.

Once the east wind blows during this season, a layer of yellow mud soup will flow out of the seawater on the outer islands. This is a good sea——

Yellow mud soup is formed from the surging sediments on the seabed, which contains rich organic matter. This can stir up the fish and shrimp hiding on the seabed, driving them to float and feed.

But the west wind does not have this ability, which leads to the saying on the outer islands that the east wind does not destroy the sea, but the west wind sweeps away the land.

The wind is coming from the west today.

Southwest wind.

The water is clear and beautiful, but it is not liked by fishermen.

Wang Xianghong frowned and said: "The weather forecast is for the Wengzhou area and is not specific enough."

"As the old saying goes, there is an eagle in the sky, and there is a gust of wind in the sea. We have to look at the weather forecast and use the weather forecast as a reference, but we cannot rely on the weather forecast."

"The experience accumulated by the elders is more accurate than the weather forecast!"

Later, after Wang Xianghai had eaten and drank, he went down the mountain to the pier.

Wang Xianghong also said hello to him: "Are you going to Bajiao Sea today?"

Wang Xianghai said while packing up the net rope: "Well, yes, yesterday someone from Biandan Island came to watch TV and told me that there was a good harvest of sole there."

"They were lucky the past two days. One boat caught more than 4,000 kilograms of sole. I want to lead the fleet over to have a look. If we can't eat meat, we can just drink soup."

Wang Xianghong said: "How about going to Qiantang Sea to catch eel fry? Zhou Mindong is an expert in marine aquaculture. He suggested that we raise eels. I think we can try it."

When Wang Xianghai heard this, he said: "Okay, let's go to Qiantang Sea, but we are not proficient in catching eel fry."

Wang Xianghong said: "We use our own labor to build our own ship. When we go to sea, the cost will be less, so you should study and experiment on this trip, accumulate experience, and strive to achieve good results in the future."

Wang Yi said: "Then let me go there and take a look. Qiantang is a big city. I heard that they have a machinery market for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai."

"It seems that there is a very good noodle rolling machine on the market now. I want to see if I can buy two of them. Let's open our own noodle workshop when we come back."

Wang Xianghong was very interested: "How much does this cost?"

Wang Yi said: "I don't know the details, but I have money. If the price is right and the machine is good, I will advance the deposit first."

With the matter settled, Wang Xianghai began to arrange for personnel to go back and make preparations.

Wengzhou is not far from the Qiantang area, only 500 miles, but the ship cannot run very fast and the sea voyage takes a long time. Even if it is a straight line, it still takes a whole day.

They are not professional in catching eel fry, so they have to spend a lot of time learning.

As a result, their overseas operations will take longer, at least three or four days.

But because Wang Yi also had to preside over the bidding activities of the construction unit, he could not leave for the time being, so the trip to Qiantang had to be postponed for a day or two.

Wang Xianghong contacted a total of six construction companies, all of which were private construction teams.

However, the quality of the workers inside is hard to say. They are all temporary workers at China State Construction Engineering Corporation.

With the surge in production and construction after the reform and opening up, China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited did not have enough workers on its payroll, so wherever the construction site was, it had to temporarily recruit local farmers as workers.

Workers can graduate from work after studying at a construction site for a year and a half. In this way, when a construction site is completed and the migrant workers are fired, someone will call them to form a private construction team.

Six heads of units came to Tianya Island, some wearing suits and ties, and some wearing work clothes.

Wang Xianghong looked at the man in a suit and said "decent", and when he saw the man in work clothes he said "professional". Anyway, he felt that the bosses of these construction units were quite reliable.

He took Wang Yi to greet the six people.

The teaching building was not fully utilized, and the vacant classrooms were used as temporary offices, so the bidding event was held in this office.

Wang Xianghong was too embarrassed to come forward, so she asked Wang Yi to host the bidding meeting.

The six bosses were very high-spirited now. They had all heard that Tianya Island was going to carry out construction and build small buildings for every household.

So after they were called, they thought they all wanted to participate in the building project together.

The bosses these days are just bold and don't have any evil intentions or tricks. Little did they know that Wang Yi was about to teach them a lesson.

Wang Yi served them tea very politely, and the tea he served was West Lake Longjing.

The bosses were very happy about this.

This handsome and elegant young man is really a nice person. The tea he served us was so fragrant, almost the same as RMB ink.

Then Wang Yi began to introduce the bidding information to them.

According to his inquiries, tendering appeared as early as the late Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century.

But then the People's Republic of China was founded. From then until the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the country implemented a highly centralized planned economic system. Under this system, it was impossible and unnecessary to use bidding to carry out economic activities.

After the reform and opening up, bidding began to be linked to the country's production activities.

Among them, in 1980, the central government proposed in the "Interim Provisions on Developing and Protecting Socialist Competition" that "for some production and construction projects and business projects that are suitable for contracting, bidding methods can be tried out."

This is the first time that bidding and bidding have been mentioned in domestic policies, and then applied to the domestic construction industry. Bidding work was first tried out in Pengcheng in 1981, and then slowly spread to all parts of the country.

The bosses here are all local bosses with low levels of education, but they are very courageous and smart.

They pay close attention to industry trends, and Jiangnan Province is at the forefront of reform and opening up.

Therefore, the six bosses here all know the meaning of bidding.

So they were very depressed about it.

Their good impression of Wang Yi suddenly disappeared. Why was this young man so cunning?

Otherwise, as our ancestors said, faces come from the heart, this young man has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he doesn’t look like a good person!

The bosses bowed their heads one after another, and the steaming tea in their hands suddenly lost its aroma.

A boss named Yi Haichuan was the first to attack and said to Wang Xianghong: "Captain Wang, although I am not from Fuhai, right, but I have heard of your reputation."

"Everyone says that you, Captain Wang, are the most down-to-earth and the most particular. You said it doesn't matter if you call us over and then don't use us. After all, the country now wants to engage in a market economy and cannot buy or sell by force, but buy and sell freely. We all understand this."

"But you said you are going too far with this tender?"
