The young man's name is Du Gensheng, he is one of the few young people in Shicheng Village who still stays in the village, he said that the best dish is the big pot of stewed fish, the water is the spring water in the mountain, the sauce is the big sauce made by himself, the fire stewed for half an hour, and simmered for ten minutes, open the lid and sprinkle some green onions and coriander, and the fragrance immediately wafted throughout the whole house.

Li Dong and Lin Hai sat on the edge of the pot, holding cornmeal flatbread in one hand, and chopsticks in the other hand to eat directly in the pot, there is a small fire under the pot, and the fish in the pot are still grunting, eating is this hot and vigorous, in the early winter season to be able to eat such a pot of fish, which can not only fill the stomach, but also drive away the cold, it is definitely a pleasure.

"How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Du Gensheng stood aside, looking at Li Dong and Lin Hai cautiously, with a little nervousness on his face.

This is the first time he has made fish for people outside his family, not to mention that he is from the county seat, he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, the taste must be tricky, and he doesn't know if what he makes is suitable or not, and the two hundred yuan is a little hot.

"Well, it's delicious, it's better than the iron pot stew I ate at Dushun his house. Lin Hai said as he gulped.

Du Gensheng was overjoyed when he heard it, but he still looked at Li Dong on the side, he knew that this was the eldest brother.

"The taste is good, it is rare to have such a big fish, the fish meat is so tender, and there is no earthy smell, if it is in Qingzhou, a pot of two hundred can not be served." Li Dong asked curiously, "What kind of fish are you?"

"Mandarin fish. Du Gensheng said with a smile, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved.

"Mandarin fish, won't you?" asked Li Dong, "I've eaten mandarin fish, but it's not as delicious as yours." ”

"You're talking about the mandarin fish that are raised in the pond outside, I am not only wild, but also the environment in which it grows is very special, there is a cave at the foot of our Shicheng Village, the water inside is particularly good, it is a temperature all year round, I often put the small fish I caught there to raise, not only grow fast, but also delicious. ”

"There's such an amazing place, then I have to go and see it!" Li Dong said.

"Okay, I'll take you there after you finish eating!" Du Gensheng agreed very happily, it was rare for outsiders in the village to come, and he was so generous, so he was also very happy.

"You didn't have lunch either, did you? Li Dong pointed to the pot with chopsticks and said to Du Gensheng, "Anyway, the two of us can't eat such a big fish." ”

"No, I'm not hungry!" Du Gensheng quickly shook his head, but his eyes kept on the cauldron.

"Don't worry, don't charge money, count me as yours. ”

"Then I'd be respectful and obey. ”

The three of them chatted while eating, Li Dong learned from the other party's words, it turned out that the other party was still the son of an official eunuch, this kid's grandfather was the village chief of Shicheng Village, originally he went to work in the field after graduating from junior high school, but after working for less than a year, his father fell to his death because of a fall on the construction site, and when he came back, his grandfather said that he would not let him go, and he had to let him take over, although he liked the big city outside, but he couldn't survive the grandfather to death, so he could only stay, usually catch a fish, collect some medicine to sell outside, and use it to subsidize the family。

As for Shicheng Village, although there are more than 40 households, a small half have moved out of the mountain, and the rest are either old or young, according to the current words, there are only some left-behind old people and left-behind children left, and there are only two people like him who are young and do not go out to work but stay in the village, one is him, and the other is a year older than him, he is a fool, which is why he is very vigilant when he sees outsiders coming to the village, because he is responsible for the safety work of the entire village.

Hearing Du Gensheng's words, Li Dong finally knew why the old man he had met on the mountain before did not agree to contract out the land, and there were some old people and children left in the village, who had no ability to go out to work.

After eating, Li Dong and Lin Hai went to the Qingshi River under the leadership of Du Gensheng, and the three of them walked up along the river bank, and it didn't take long to come to a place where the river bends, and the cave that Du Gensheng said was here.

Li Dong followed behind Du Gensheng, clinging to the wall and walking into the hole, thinking that it was not big, but after entering, he found that the inside was not ordinarily big, just like a gourd, the hole was small, but there was something inside.

There is a small river flowing out of the depths of the cave in the cave, the width is six or seven meters, the narrow place is also three or four meters, and the river is also very deep, with a flashlight, it is said that there are also one or two meters, it is simply a bluestone river hidden in the cave.

"Where did this river come from and where did it stay?" asked Li Dong curiously.

"I don't know, my grandfather said it was groundwater, but I think it was from the upper reaches of the Qingshi River. Du Gensheng said.

"Then you haven't looked for the water inlet?"

"I looked for it, but I didn't get down the road after walking twenty or thirty meters, in the summer before, I swam inside, but swam to the end, there was no room for an outcrop to ventilate, and then I didn't dare to swim deep, don't look at this place looks very gentle, the water flow inside is very fast, and there are whirlpools. ”

Li Dong walked along the bank of the river to the cave for a while, and sure enough, the bank became narrower and narrower, and finally there was no place to put his feet.

"Dude, the fish we ate just now was caught here?" Lin Hai in the back stared at the water, it was pitch black inside, I don't know what it was, it was a little scary.

"Yes. Du Gensheng nodded.

"Then you can catch a few more, we will take them back to eat, you can rest assured, the money will be given." Lin Hai said, he remembered his sister, who loved fish the most.

Du Gensheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Do you think it's so easy to catch? The fish here are fine, as long as there is a little sound, they will swim away, and the cave is so dark, and the river is so big, you don't know where the fish is, the fish we just ate, I caught that one for a few days." ”

"Then you're still catching small fish and putting them in here?"

"Little fish will always grow up one day, even if I can't catch it this year, I can catch it tomorrow, I can't catch it, my children and grandchildren can catch it, this is what my grandfather told me. Du Gensheng said seriously.

"People are foolish people who move mountains, and you are foolish people who raise fish. Lin Hai said with a smile.

"What do you know, this is called the predecessors planting trees, and the later generations enjoying the shade!" Li Dong said after hearing it.

"It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer fish in the Qingshi River, otherwise catch more and put them here, this is simply a pure natural fishing ground, take a net when you want to eat, it's okay!" Du Gensheng said with a sigh.

Fishing ground?

Li Dong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at the environment of the cave, yes, the fishing ground!

"Roots, brothers. Li Dong looked at Du Gensheng in surprise and said, "It's not a secret, I came to your Shicheng Village this time to contract land and mountain forests, but when I came, I met an old man on the mountain, and after talking with him, I felt that it was unrealistic to contract land in your village, but I heard you say this just now, I changed my mind, I want to contract this mountain and invest in this cave for fish farming, what do you think?"

Fish farming is just an excuse, controlling this Qingshi River is his real purpose, and when the time comes, there will be more reason to dispose of the Qingshi River.

Moreover, the other party is the grandson of the village chief, so it must be easy to speak in front of the village chief.

"Investment, fish farming?" Du Gensheng was stunned, we were eating fish together just now, and now we are talking about fish farming, this topic has shifted too quickly, right?

However, if this poor mountain village can really attract investment, it will definitely be a great thing for the village.

"What you said is true?" Du Gensheng asked, not only him, but even Lin Hai on the side was suspicious of Dong Ge's words.

"Of course it's true. Li Dong said, "I just ate the fish you caught, I still have an endless aftertaste, such a good fish, I can't eat it outside, I think this is a good investment project, if your village can agree, I will buy fish fry in the spring of next year and put them here, when the time comes, please come to manage, give you a fixed salary every month, if the benefits are better, we can also develop this cave, increase the investment in fish fry, you think, a fish two hundred, ten thousand is two million......"

Du Gensheng's eyes were full of little stars, he didn't think so, after returning from working outside, he has been figuring out how to make money, for this matter, he also went to the town to inquire, but the cost required is too much, fish fry are money, bait is money, and power is also needed, fishing boats, otherwise how to transport fish fry? How to transport fish out? There are too many places that need to spend money, and the 10,000 or 20,000 yuan he got back can't even solve a fart.

But now it's different, there's a boss here, and he's ready to invest here, the key is that the idea is exactly the same as his, this ...... It's a godsend.

Seeing that Du Gensheng didn't speak, Li Dong thought that the other party was hesitating, so he continued, "When I came to your village, I saw a few broken wooden boats on the shore, and many of them still had tattered fishing nets hanging on the walls.

Du Gensheng's eyes lit up again, many old people in the village used to fish on this Qingshi River, and then with the decrease in the amount of water, the number of fish decreased, and when they got older, they said goodbye to fishing, these people have been mixing on the river all their lives, dealing with fish, and they have a very good understanding of the habits of various fish, and there is no one more suitable for raising fish than them.

"Brother, let's go, go to my house, find my grandfather, I'm sure, he will agree. ”
