Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fat Man Who Went Up the Mountain to Buy Fish
After seeing Hong Yu come back, the fat man who had just rested for a while immediately sat up from the bamboo chair with a grunt, but his fat face was full of smiles.
"Hello, you should be Hong Yu, right?" Although the fat man's face was hot and greasy, his smile was full of kindness, coupled with that fat face, and his eyes that were only slit, he looked like Maitreya Buddha.
And Hong Yu, who even saw Tai Bai Xing, thought at first that it was the real Maitreya Buddha who came to find him!
However, then, I saw that the fat man with a greasy face took out a business card and handed it to him.
"The contemptible Bian Yongsheng is the general manager of Fugang City, the county seat......"
After the fat man finished speaking, he saw the pheasant in Hong Yu's hand, and his small eyes not only lit up,
"Ah, this is the mountain**? It's so big, did you catch it, good ability! However, this thing is a delicacy in the world, and I haven't tasted it in years! Bian Yongsheng gave a thumbs up to Hong Yu a little familiarly, but when he mentioned it, the fat man's slitted eyes were shining, and he was obviously an authentic foodie.
"Hehe, I caught one by luck, but Manager Bian came to my orchard?"
Hong Yu casually bolted the pheasant to the side of the stone house and was about to take it back to his parents, then looked at the business card in his hand and asked a little strangely.
Hong Yu of Fugang City knows that it is a medium-sized hotel in the county, but even if Fugang City is not big, it is a big man compared to Hong Yu, but I don't know why he came to this orchard?
"Oh, yes, look at my brain, just thinking about eating, I almost forgot to get down to business......" Bian Yongsheng smiled and patted his greasy head and said,
"I'm here this time because I heard that you have raised a kind of whitebait with the fragrance of flower petals, which is not only delicious to eat, but also good for health...... It just so happens that I also own a restaurant, so I will go up the mountain today to have a look, and if I can, buy some and sell them to try. ”
"Hehe, Brother Hong, don't worry, if I buy it, I will definitely pay you a high price."
"Forehead ......"
This Shun Hongyu knew that it was a person from his own village, but Hong Yuzhi didn't expect that this fat man would come up the mountain to buy his own fish, but he was a little surprised.
Moreover, although the Black Mountain Depression where his orchard is located is not as high as the Sanshen Mountain, looking at the tonnage of the fat man, it is estimated that he will definitely be tired enough to climb up on foot, obviously, this fat man is a caring person.
"Okay, since Manager Bian is here in person, then I'll lead Manager Bian to see the fish first."
Hong Yu smiled and led Bian Yongsheng to the edge of the pond in the orchard.
At this moment, several big fish in the pool jumped out of the water, like silver light, and the water surface rattled.
The fat man who was just curious to come and see was taken aback, and then said in surprise.
"I'm grass, this ...... What kind of fish is this, why haven't I seen it, how can this still jump the dragon gate? ”
"Hehe, this whitebait is unique to the pond in my orchard, and there is no outside at all." Hong Yu smiled when he saw it.
"Unique whitebait?" The fat man's eyes lit up,
"Is it really unique?"
"Absolutely unique!" Hong Yu said confidently,, in this heaven and earth, he himself knows the five elements aura, and these fish are born with the five elements aura, of course, they are unique.
"Haha, okay, then I want these fish! I'll pay you a high price! After hearing Hong Yu's assurance, Bian Fatzi not only said immediately.
It's delicious, it's healthy, and if that's the case, it's not a fish, it's a treasure!
"Oh? How much is a pound? Hong Yu asked.
"I'll give you thirty ...... No, forget it, I'll just give you fifty dollars! What do you think? "Although Hong Yu's fish is good, it is not famous after all, so the price of fifty-one catties is actually not low.
It's a pity that after hearing this, Hong Yu shook his head.
"Fifty is not good, fifty is too low!"
"And how much do you want?"
Seeing Bian Yongsheng ask, Hong Yu stretched out his palm at Bian Yongsheng.
"Five hundred and one pounds!"
"What? Five...... Five hundred?! Bian Yongsheng was stunned by this price, you know, although this fish is good, but it is not famous, after all, many things are sold now not at all about the quality of their own things, what they sell is fame, how can these fish be sold at such a high price without fame?
"Brother Hong, I didn't give you a high price for your fish, it is true, your fish is not famous, and it is impossible for me to sell it at a high price, if you are a variety of Yangtze River anchovy, let alone five hundred, even if it is three thousand, I will give it to you, because the fish market is at this price, I can sell it at the price, but you fish ......" Bian Fat smiled bitterly.
"Then let me ask Manager Bian first, how is my fish compared to the Yangtze River anchovy?" Hong Yu asked.
"This ...... Just looking at the appearance, this whitebait has firm flesh and a large fat body, which is not bad compared to anchovies...... It's just that I haven't really tasted this taste......" Bian Fat Man hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
Indeed, if you only talk about appearance, Hong Yu's whitebait is indeed no worse than anchovies, whether they are tall or fat or thin, and these whitebait also exude a kind of silver-like silver light, which is very good at first sight.
"It's easy to say if you haven't eaten it, you wait, I'll catch a big one for you, make a fish soup and try it!"
After Hong Yu heard Bian Fatman's words, he laughed, and immediately took the fishing net and salvaged a silverfish weighing five catties and led Bian Fatman to the edge of the stone house.
After setting up a simple stove with stones outside, Hong Yu put the big iron pot he had brought from home before, found dry firewood, and asked the fat man to help raise the fire, while Hong Yu went to clean up the fish.
The fat man also wanted to taste what the fish tasted like that made Lai Shun praise the sky, so he didn't need Hong Yu's instructions at all, so he ran to raise the fire.
And since the whitebait became popular, Hong Yu has cleaned up a lot of fish in the past few days, so he is familiar with the road, killing fish, removing internal organs, and scraping scales...... After a while, the fish was out of the pot.
"Hehe, Manager Bian, I haven't fired on the mountain yet, and I haven't prepared oil and salt, I'll give you a boil of water for you to taste."
After the fish was put into the pot, Hong Yu was born rich and noble from a glance, and he had never raised the wild stove in the wild, and the fat man who was choked with tears took over the work of raising the fire, and said with a smile.
And Bian Yongsheng, who was wiping his tears, was speechless for a while when he heard Hong Yu's words...... Nima, Lao Tzu choked so much that he couldn't open his eyes in order to raise a fire, but you gave me water to boil fish? And not even salt? That's not bloody death, it's a shame that this Brother Hong can think of it......
However, soon, Bian Yongsheng, who scolded his mother in his heart, couldn't scold it, but a surprise flashed in his eyes.
Because as the water slowly boils, the steaming pot begins to emit the fragrance of fish with the fragrance of jasmine, which is not strong, but it smells comfortable and refreshing, making people have an endless appetite when they smell it......
"This ...... Is this the smell of these whitebait? It's the first time I've smelled such a nice fish! Bian Yongsheng said happily.
"Hey, smell the fragrance, it tastes more fragrant......" Hong Yu smiled, seeing that the fire was almost over, he directly pulled out two wooden sticks the thickness of chopsticks from the firewood, took out a piece of fish meat from the fragrant cauldron, and handed it to Bian Yongsheng.
And Bian Yongsheng had already been gurgling in his stomach because of this fragrance, so he didn't feel dirty, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Holy! This...... It's delicious, isn't it? ”
With only one bite, Bian Yongsheng was conquered by the unique petal taste of this whitebait, and after introducing the fat and tender fish into his mouth in three or two bites, he didn't need Hong Yu to help him clamp it, and directly fished it out of the pot by himself.
"Haha, it's delicious, it's really delicious, I really didn't expect it, there was not even oil and salt, so the fish boiled in clear water was so delicious!" A five-pound fish, after removing the internal organs, has to have more than three catties left, but it was fished out by the fat man here for a while, and there was still some unfinished after eating.
"How does this taste compared to Yangtze anchovy?" Hong Yu asked amusefully looking at the fat man who was still pouting his buttocks and holding a wooden stick to catch the fish that had slipped through the net in the fish pot.
"It's so much better! The Yangtze River anchovy has a reputation there, and if you want to say that fish, the taste is not even one-tenth of your fish! Bian Fat said without hesitation.
"Then since this fish is better than anchovy, and eating it is also good for health, then why can anchovy have a price of thousands of yuan a catty, but my fish can't be sold for five hundred?"
"Forehead......" After hearing Hong Yu's words, the fat man couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a wry smile, "It stands to reason that what Brother Hong said is not bad, but after all, this anchovy family has been playing an old brand for many years, and there are a lot of customers who buy it......"
"It's easy to say that it's famous, and now I also plan to apply for a brand for my fish, with the quality of these fish, I don't believe it, and I can't make a name!" Hong Yu smiled and said his purpose.
