What’s even more exaggerated is that a tourist from the city came to Xingzhou Island for group building. Seeing Xu Yin’s patient and meticulous teaching, and hearing her telling her mother-in-law how to save herself in an emergency, she felt that even if she didn’t dive, she would just play in the water. It's also very useful. I have many skills without being overwhelmed. A few days after I returned, I brought my children here again. I said that during the summer vacation, the interest classes were over and the school hadn't started yet. I wanted to send my daughter to learn diving from Xu Yin.
"I know you don't charge tuition to teach people on your island, but we are from outside the island. How dare we not give you money to teach you for nothing, so I will give you the highest tuition fee on the market!"
When other tourists playing nearby saw this, they gathered around and asked:
"Can people outside the island also learn? Then can I sign up? I have ten days of annual leave. Can I learn in ten days?"
"Can you do a half-day and one-day experience course? I'm only here for three days, but I really want to experience it. It would be even better if I could take a photo while diving!"
“Can I rent diving equipment?”
Xu Yin: "..."
Is this the rhythm for her to start teaching?
But how could she have so much time to teach people to dive deeply? She taught the islanders deep dive for free so that they could later be hired to plant corals, so forget about the training courses!
She doesn't want to take even a short-term experience course because she can't afford it!
The old village chief eagerly came to discuss with her: "Yinyin, if you start a class, I will organize a few people to build a small wooden house in the back bay as a management room. Don't the tourists not have diving equipment? Our village will pay for it. Rent it to them on a daily basis.”
Xu Yin gave him a thumbs up: "Your business acumen is really like this!"
"Haha! My wife also compliments me like this. I wish I were thirty years younger! It's a pity that we didn't have such good conditions at that time. We were a small and poor island with no electricity or fresh water. , let alone the Internet. Life is so good now! You can buy and sell things on your mobile phone, and you don’t have to leave your house. Seriously, Yinyin, can you put it all together and build a diving experience area? "
Xu Yin shook her head: "It may be feasible in a few years, but we don't have the conditions yet."
"What other conditions are needed for this?"
"Our seabed has been almost wiped out due to frequent trawling operations in the past ten years. In recent years, every time a typhoon comes, several pieces of the reef have collapsed, and the pier has been almost washed away several times. Because of the disappearance of corals. There is nothing to see on the seabed without coral groups. If tourists come here once, they may not come again in the future. If this problem is not solved, it will be useless no matter how perfect the island is developed."
"Is it so serious? What should I do?"
"So I plan to artificially cultivate corals to restore the sea area around our island to its former beauty."
"..."
When the old village chief left, his steps were a little wandering: He obviously came to Xiao Xu to cooperate in the diving business, but in the end, she was persuaded to mobilize the villagers to plant corals?
But considering that Xiao Xu is the most business-minded among the young people in this class, even she thinks that now is not the time to do a deep dive project, so it must be that the time has not come yet.
The old village chief convinced himself.
Within a few days, the village spontaneously formed a coral planting group to learn how to plant corals from Xu Yin.
After Xu Yin set up the nursery on the seabed, everyone knew how to "plant" it, so they worked in groups of three and took turns diving deep into the seabed to plant corals.
The coral seedlings were sent by Yu Yijin. They are the most suitable reef-building corals for growing in the waters of Sin Chew Island.
Xu Yin soaked them in Linghu water for several nights to improve their immunity and reduce the rate of albinism.
Originally, she wanted to pay everyone. Although they would take turns to work in the water, and they could go there for one or two hours at most every day, so as not to delay everyone from going out to sea to fish or go home to work, but this was not just a day or two, but years and months. Yin thinks some labor allowance should be given.
But everyone rejected it.
"The village chief said that you planted coral for the safety of our island. This is the home of each of us, how can you bear it alone?"
"That's it! Why don't each family have one person to work for an hour or two every day? Whoever is free can go. Can this little time be spared?"
"Our family is still rushing to go! After we finish the work, we can pick up some abalone and sea cucumbers, so we have enough food for the day!"
When Xu Yin saw that no one was willing to take money, she changed her approach: every once in a while, she would put some shellfish or mollusk seafood that she picked up during deep dives so that everyone would go out to work and not come back empty-handed.
In this way, with the concerted efforts of fishermen, the coral reefs on the shallow seabed of Sin Chew Island are restored to life bit by bit.
Coral reefs do not grow very fast, only growing two or three centimeters in a year. This requires suitable water temperature, rich organic matter and sufficient light.
Fortunately, the results are small but still gratifying.
As the reef-building coral colonies settled on the shallow seabed of Xingzhou Island, the aquatic life in this area gradually became richer.
The most obvious is that the seabed environment and water quality have been improved.
After the city government learned about it, it reported the coral planting project on Xingzhou Island as a highlight of private environmental improvement, and applied for an environmental protection fund for Xingzhou Island.
The old village chief was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Although the money is not much, compared with the early investment of Xu Yin and He Xue's sisters Huahai Fishing Group, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket, but it is glorious!
Looking at the many large and small islands across the country, which island is as glorious as Sin Chew Island?
Not only did he appear in the news and TV, but he also received praise and affirmation from his superiors. Didn’t this also come with material rewards?
"Yin Yin, this money is for you! You use it to buy coral seedlings!" The old village chief generously gave Xu Yin the check that was still warm, "Buy more! Try to plant all the seabed around our Xingzhou Island coral!"
"good."
Xu Yin smiled and agreed.
She did not expect that Xingzhou Island would break out of the circle in this way.
Some enterprises and institutions even contacted her and said they wanted to organize a team-building activity related to marine ecological protection, allowing employees to experience undersea coral planting, try a seafood farmhouse, and take a family photo.
Xingzhou Island has become a good place for various units to engage in team building and promote new trends. It has also become the most popular tourist attraction during the summer vacation. Although we only host one team-building event a month, everyone is in high spirits! After the team building, I felt that Xingzhou Island was really good, so I took my parents and children to play together.
As a result, people come and go on the island every day, making it the most popular island after the main island. What if it can't receive so many tourists? Doesn't this boost the economy of other islands? Various B&Bs and restaurants have sprung up, feeding many small islands.
Seeing that Xingzhou Island is developing better and better, and the additional tasks released by the system are also in full swing, Xu Yin comes to the beach for a walk every evening. She is used to walking barefoot on the clean beach with her shoes, looking at the intersection of the sea and the sky. In the sunset, she felt that although the beginning of this life was bad, the task was not as difficult as she imagined!
