Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fish to be Sold for Sky-High Prices

As Wu Dao's father, Wu Dong has undoubtedly become the busiest person during this time, and he is a little worried about his son spending such a large amount of money to renovate the fish pond, to be honest. These days, as long as he has time, he will come over to take a look, for fear that the 100,000 yuan invested in it will not be able to earn back.

Wu Dong no longer doubts Wu Dao's ability to make money, but he is also worried about Wu Dao's ability to spend money. In the countryside these days, who wants to spend such a large amount of money on fish ponds? In addition, after repairing the fish pond, Wu Dong also asked his son what kind of fish he was going to stock, but Wu Dao said that the fish he raised belonged to high-end varieties, and he would do it himself when the time came. In this regard, Wu Dong can only hope that his son can find some good fish to breed.

Wu Dong, who would go to the fish pond early in the morning as usual, felt that the temperature seemed a little strange as soon as he walked around the fish pond. But as soon as he stepped into the area of this fish pond, he felt that the temperature seemed to drop a lot, and even the clothes on his body made him feel a little cold.

That's a bit weird!

What's even more strange is that these two big ponds are still bubbling with a little cool air at this time, and Wu Dong, who is often in the countryside, doesn't understand that this is a reaction brought about by the temperature difference. Rather, the water in this pond is too cold.

As soon as he stepped on the edge of the pond and reached into the water, he felt that the water was too cold, and it was completely in stark contrast to the temperature of the water nearby. And yesterday he also tried the water temperature, but there was no such phenomenon. Could it be that the water temperature has become so cold this night?

But what surprised him even more was that when he squatted on the edge of the fish pond and watched the situation in the pond, several red figures were really leisurely wandering around the mouth of the cave built by his son. Got fish?

Wu Dong, who was worried about whether he was dazzled, hurriedly stood up and wiped his eyes, and found that in the originally clean and empty pond, there were indeed a few big fish that looked to weigh a few catties at this time. But yesterday he asked Wu Dao, it seems that he has never heard of him releasing fish! What's going on?

Wu Dong, who felt that Wu Dao was doing things more and more strangely, walked around the two ponds and found that the two ponds seemed to have fish in them. And judging from the splash, these fish placed in it are not small. It's just that except for the red figures just now, the others don't know what kind of fish they are.

Wu Dong, who was sure that he was not dazzled, quickly walked in the direction of the bamboo building where Wu Dao lived, and Wu Dao's performance on the farm during this time was still very satisfactory to him. originally thought that his son would dislike the life in the countryside, but he didn't expect that this kid seemed to be living quite comfortably now. Coupled with Wu Dao's performance in front of the villagers several times, no one in the village now says that Wu Dao's return to the village to run a farm is a loser's behavior.

As long as his son can run the farm well, Wu Dong certainly hopes that his children can be together by themselves. Thinking that Wu Dao did not return home in the previous five years, and the home was a little deserted during the Spring Festival every year, Wu Dong felt that his family should be able to have a real reunion this year!

When he stepped into Wu Dao's bamboo building, he saw Wu Dao preparing to feed the native chickens that already weighed about two catties. Looking at these local chickens that are buried in food, Wu Dong can't understand why these chickens raised by Wu Dao are so easy to raise.

Except for feeding in the morning and evening, no one needs to watch at all. In this way, they were left to fend for themselves, and until now, there are only a few dead animals. This is less effortless than when he raised chickens before, and it is from this batch of local chickens that Wu Dong feels that his son seems to have some talent in breeding.

'Xiaodao, I just looked at the pond, why is the water temperature so low. And there's fish in it, you put it in, right? What kind of fish do you raise, why can't I see what kind of fish it is after looking at it for a long time? ’

After careful observation just now, Wu Dong, who originally thought that those red figures were carps, knew that they were definitely not carps when he found that the body was obviously longer than the carp. If it's not a carp, what fish can grow so big?

Hearing his father's question, Wu Dao quickly smiled and said, "Dad, I put that fish in, and there is nothing to sell outside." This is a fish species that I found from a secret place, and that fish is called dragon trout, and it is a very expensive species.

It's just that it takes more time to farm, and the water is so cold because I inserted the water collection site into the bottom of the river. Because to raise those fish, the water temperature required is relatively low. I didn't put a lot of fish in that big pond, but they were all cucumber seeds and old black. ”

Wu Dong was very angry when he saw that Wu Dao was confused with himself: "Your kid is still keeping it secret from me, so hurry up and tell me where the dragon trout was caught." Can the fish really fetch a high price? ”

Wu Dao thought for a while and said, "Dad, I can tell you where the fish came from, but you promise not to be angry." As for the price of this dragon trout, I plan to sell it for 1,000 yuan a catty, or even higher. Anyway, ordinary people can't afford to eat that fish, so you don't have to worry about the money invested in it not being earned. ”

A thousand dollars a pound! Is this selling fish or selling money!

Wu Dong said angrily: "Do you think the fish raised by your kid is gold?" It's also a thousand yuan a catty, and quickly said that the fish was caught there? ”

Wu Dao said cautiously: "I caught that dragon trout from Yuzu Lake!" ”

'What! You kid don't want to die? Don't you know that Yuzu Lake is not allowed to go into the water? In the past, your Uncle Shi Zi died in it, and you didn't know it. You kid is really daring to grow hair! ’

As soon as he heard that the fish was caught from Yuzu Lake, Wu Dong was naturally afraid. Although he had only been to the Yuzu Lake once or twice, every time he saw the Yuzu Lake, Wu Dong felt an invisible cool air coming out of the soles of his feet. For this reason, he, like many men in the village, shy away from the seemingly peaceful Yuzu Lake.

In the whole village, there are only his second uncle and a few old hunters, who will rest at Yuzu Lake when hunting, but they have never heard anyone dare to fish from the lake. You know, stepping into Yuzu Lake is undoubtedly no different from looking for death. For this reason, when he heard Wu Dao say that the fish was caught from Yuzu Lake, Wu Dong's first reaction was that his son wanted money and died!

Of course, Wu Dao knew his father's worries, but if he didn't convince his father, he would have a lot of trouble about dragon trout farming. Therefore, Wu Dao felt that he had to convince his father on this point.

'Dad, I know all of this you said. But I don't think it's a problem as long as you don't go into the water! Uncle Shi Zi died in the lake because he was going into the lake to catch fish, and I just didn't go into the water to catch fish on the edge of the lake. These are two different concepts! Besides, I fished a few nets and didn't find anything magical about this grapefruit lake. In my opinion, as long as you don't go to the lake, there will definitely be no problems.

As for what the uncle said, if anyone could see it, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed by the political axe, which would have allowed it to live until now. So, it's not as scary as you say. In addition, let me tell you, the boss who came to our village some time ago hurried back to the village with me after eating dragon trout, intending to find someone to ask about the origin of this fish.

But they didn't know that it would be difficult to find half of this fish except for Yuzu Lake. And the taste of that fish is quite good, and it will only be bought from me in the future, and it depends on my mood to sell it for a thousand yuan a catty! ’

Hearing that the fish that Wu Dao picked up did not go to the lake, Wu Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As a farmer living in the mountains, it can be said that everyone is full of reverence for the mountains. Especially after Sandaogou Village, this boundless Yunling Mountain Range. It can be said that the legends of this mountain range have been passed down from generation to generation, but everyone knows that it is extremely dangerous.

'Can fish really be sold for such a high price?' ’

Wu Dong also knows his son's stubbornness. Although Wu Dao fished in Yuzu Lake, it was indeed a bit of a disapproval of the world, but after the fish were caught, it was pointless to pursue it now. What's more, isn't the son standing in front of him now? Perhaps, this is also the luck of his own son. Why is it that others will surely die when they enter the lake, but their own son is fine?

Wu Dong, who felt that there was no need to pursue this issue, turned his attention to the price of this so-called dragon trout. It's just that he is very curious, what kind of fish dares to sell for a thousand yuan a catty?

Wu Dao saw that his father really didn't pursue his fishing in Yuzu Lake, and said with a smile: "Dad, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days?" When the time comes, I'll catch a fish for my mother to make and you can taste it, and you'll know why this fish dares to sell it so expensive. Besides, you've also heard that the saury fish in the river outside dare to sell hundreds or thousands of saurys as wide as two or three fingers. I sell it for 1,000 yuan a pound, which is the price of tofu!

However, as for the pricing of this fish, I plan to look at the farming situation, and if the fish is more difficult to farm, the price will definitely increase. In short, you must remember in the future, if someone asks you where the fry came from, you push it on me. Anyway, there is no one but our family now! I'm also going to take the money I put in and make money back from the fish. So, Dad, you must keep it a secret! ”

Let his son flicker like this, although Wu Dong still thinks that this fish is too expensive. But think about the big restaurants outside, those Yangtze River saury that used to be a few pounds a pound in the early days of liberation, and now it is indeed as my son said, and the price of the article is still expensive to death. Having lived in the countryside for many years, he naturally didn't understand why this fish could still be sold at such a high price.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally felt that no matter whether what his son said was right or not, in short, he knew one thing, that is, his wealth was not exposed. Since this fish is so expensive, then he, as a father, should also pay attention to it in the future. After all, this is a magic weapon for one's own family to make a fortune in the future, and naturally it cannot be stolen by outsiders.
