Chapter 28: The Mid-Autumn Festival

Since he had a showdown with his father about the origin of the dragon trout, Wu Dao found that his father would inevitably come to the pond sooner or later. The value of the trout in this pond is much higher than that of him, who is a son.

Although he also persuaded his father not to be so careful, every time he thought that a dragon trout weighing a few catties was thousands of yuan, and Wu Dong, who could only earn 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan a year, how could he not be nervous?

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Dao went to Yuzu Lake a few more times, first, to replenish the lake water for Yulingzhu and mention Lingquan as soon as possible, and secondly, it was naturally indispensable to be a fisherman. To Wu Dao's delight, the hard work paid off, and after several salvage times, he finally added more than 20 dragon trout of the same weight to his fish pond.

And in addition to the breeding dragon trout, after keeping the seedlings in the large bucket specially set outside in the Yuling Bead, he also put the other extra male fish into the pond.

The pond with more than a dozen dragon trout has been added, and it looks more energetic than before. The dragon trout, which swim out of the cave from time to time, now look undoubtedly more active. What made Wu Dao happy was that the little dragon trout that were put in, although they couldn't see how much they had grown up, they could see that they seemed to be quite comfortable living in this pond. This made Wu Dao have a little more confidence in breeding dragon trout in his heart!

The only thing that made him a little entangled was that the temperature in the pond that had been improved by the formation was obviously lower than the temperature around it. Especially when the sun is out, some villagers who have fields nearby even start to use the fish pond as a place to cool off. If it weren't for the excuse that Wu Dao had prepared a long time ago, I was really worried about letting others see something.

In order to solve this problem as soon as possible, Wu Dao finally thought about it for a long time, and asked his third uncle and a few relatives. At the price of 500 yuan per plant, they dug up a few broad-leaved trees that were more than twenty or thirty years old from the mountains and forests not far away and transplanted them to the pond to return to the week.

The whole pond is encircled, and with the presence of these trees, the fish pond also looks a little cooler. When outsiders come in, they don't think that the fish pond is too out of place with the surrounding temperature. Just transplanting these trees, Wu Dao also spent nearly 20,000 yuan, so naturally his father nagged him again.

With the advent of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the village also seems to have a more festive atmosphere. In addition, the school has a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and some juniors who have moved outside the village will also rush back to the village to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with their parents at this time. For this reason, Wu Dao, who had fed the chickens early in the morning, also pulled his sister, who had moved to his own bamboo building, home to help.

Over the years, Wu Dao has not felt any festive atmosphere outside, and if he is lucky, he can bring a few friends who have fun to have a full meal outside. If he is unlucky, his friends have a party, and he is more often bored in the rental room alone, stir-frying two small dishes and enjoying the unique loneliness of outsiders in the festival.

In order to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Dao naturally bought all the things that everyone used for the festival in the county. But the whole county turned down, and I bought some moon cakes and dried fruits, and of course, I also bought a batch of seasonal fruits. In short, today's Mid-Autumn Festival of the Wu family is much more lively than in previous years.

In addition, this year, Wu Dao went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival for the first time, and at the strong request of the only surviving uncle Wu Tian, Wu Dao's second uncle and third uncle and two families also gathered at Wu Dao for lunch. As for dinner, they went back to their respective homes, after all, they were also separated!

In fact, it was said that the three families lived together, but when Wu Dao returned home with his little sister, there were not many people in the Wu family's courtyard. Even Wu Kun, who works in a hotel in the provincial capital, called yesterday to say that he had not been granted leave and could not go home for the New Year. As for the third uncle Wu Lin, one of his two daughters has been working in other places and cannot return home, and the other is also studying in other provinces.

I also called a few days ago, saying that the vacation time is too short and I will not come back. For this reason, except for Wu Dao and his sister Wu Ting, there are only a few adults in the entire Wu family. Of course, the other juniors don't, and as for the juniors, they don't. After all, Wu Dao is the oldest in the entire family, and now he is not married, so naturally there is no one in this younger generation!

Seeing Wu Dao and Wu Ting coming in, Wu Ting, who was a little afraid of her uncle, naturally ran to the kitchen as soon as she entered the yard. And Wu Dao, the eldest grandson of the family, inevitably gossiped with a few elders who were already sitting in the courtyard chatting.

Just as everyone was chatting, there was an unusually fragrant smell from the kitchen, which made several elders stop chatting. Especially because Wu Tian, who was relatively old, was even more surprised after smelling the taste: "Xiaodong, what kind of food does your mother-in-law make, why is it so fragrant?" ”

For the burst of fragrance coming from the kitchen, only Wu Dong understood what kind of dish it was coming from. Seeing that his father also had an inexplicable expression, Wu Dao smiled and said, "That's the fragrance of dragon trout!" ”

Regarding the term dragon trout, several elders present knew something, and they also heard Wu Dao say that this fish will be sold for 1,000 yuan a catty in the future. Like Wu Dong, they thought Wu Dao was telling jokes. But now after hearing that this fragrance came from the time when he was making dragon trout, he suddenly felt that Wu Dao seemed to be justified in setting such a high price for the fish.

Wu Tian immediately asked: "This fish is so fragrant, it should taste good when you think about it." But stinky boy, is this fish really worth a thousand yuan a catty? ”

Wu Dao saw that his uncle still didn't believe that this fish could be sold at such a high price, and explained with a smile: "Uncle, I think you must have heard of it, dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. Since this dragon trout has a dragon word, the price naturally can't be cheap! What's more, you always think that the things that come out of Yuzu Lake can be mortal?

I think it's cheap to sell for a thousand yuan, if it weren't for the fact that there are not many fish in the pond now, I really want to take a few to ask those bosses for a price. Perhaps, it is normal for a fish to sell for 10,000 yuan. You know, it is normal for those owners outside to enter big hotels to spend tens or millions of dollars in order to eat good things.

As for the taste of this dragon trout, I think I'll keep it a secret for the time being, and you'll know why I said this fish is not an ordinary fish when I eat it later! ”

Just when everyone was talking, Wu Ting, who had just hid in the kitchen, was kicked out, watching Wu Ting being kicked out of the kitchen, and still looking at the direction of the kitchen.

Wu Dao smiled and quipped: "Girl, did you steal it again?" ”

Hearing her eldest brother joking, Wu Ting hurriedly turned around and said with a bitter face: "Brother, can you go catch another fish, that fish tastes so good." I secretly tasted a piece and couldn't stop it, and when I tried to taste it again, my mother kicked me out. She said that there was only one such fish, and that it would not be enough if I were to steal it. Can you fish up again and let me eat enough today? ”

Eat enough!

Wu Dao almost didn't fall down in fright when he heard this, you must know that he had only tasted the taste of dragon trout for the second time. He couldn't be hungry for this fish for a long time, but in order to make money in the future, he finally held back. Now this girl dares to say that she will have enough to eat today.

The conversation between the brother and sister made Wu Tiandao, who was also a little curious about the taste of fish: "Girl, is that fish really so delicious?" ”

was interjected by Wu Tian like this, Wu Ting immediately nodded obediently like a lady and said, "Well, uncle!" You don't know, that fish tastes so good. The soup tastes delicious. I only tore a small piece, and the fish melted in my mouth as soon as I ate it, and I have never eaten such a delicious fish when I was so big. ”

Belch! was described by Wu Ting like this, and several elders who thought they were relatively calm about eating also swallowed their saliva involuntarily. His eyes also began to turn in the direction of the kitchen, originally thinking that this fish was a generally noble species, but he didn't expect it to reach the level of deliciousness that Wu Ting said.

Sure enough, when the entire round table was filled with sumptuous plates, everyone's first chopsticks were concentrated in the big plate of fish. As the head of the family, Wu Tian sighed after tasting the fish: "This fish is really not a mortal thing!" ”

After the people at the entire table were a little calm, except for Wu Dao, everyone who had tasted the taste of this fish couldn't help but nod and sigh at the deliciousness of this fish. As a result, everyone didn't taste a bite of the other dishes, and only one bone was left on the plate of the dragon trout, which weighed ten catties.

Even the soup on the plate made Wu Ting, a girl, grit her teeth and drink it with the playful gaze of her uncle. I have to say that for the sake of deliciousness, this girl ignored the slightly serious uncle in front of her for the first time.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have eaten dragon trout and didn't want to eat other dishes, Wu Dao smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you don't want to eat other dishes if you eat a fish." You know, the other dishes on this table are also good, don't waste them. As for this dragon trout, others can't eat it, and when the fish pond is raised in the future, we won't be able to eat it? Why don't I catch a few more in the evening and eat enough for everyone? ”

In order not to leave regrets in the hearts of his relatives, Wu Dao thought about it and decided to fish out a few more, and as soon as he said this, he was strongly welcomed by Wu Ting.

And Wu Tian, who also felt that he had not eaten enough, suddenly sighed: "Xiaodao, we should be content with this fish after we have tasted it." Besides, you don't have a few in the fish pond, so you have to keep them as seed fish. Forget about fishing, although I don't know how much you'll be able to sell it for.

But if we eat tens of thousands of yuan at a meal, it will arouse people's envy. Since everyone has tasted this fish today, I think you adults should know what this fish means to our entire family.

So, I decided that from tomorrow I would move to the bamboo building to live and watch the fish pond for Xiaodao. Now others don't know the value of this fish, but I dare say that as long as Xiaodao reveals the value of this fish, someone will inevitably have the idea of hitting this fish pond.

He is a junior, some things are not good, and I used to sit in the town and believe that others dare not do anything to me. But taking advantage of today's meal, I will tell Xiaodao one thing, that is, to make money in the future, don't forget that you are from Sandaogou Village. See what I mean? ”
