The most important of these are the Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas Day and the National Day and King's Birthday on October 21. ”

"It must be quite hilarious."

"It's really lively, during the Spring Festival, all the Chinese living districts on the island will hold grand celebration ceremonies, such as, wearing festive clothes, worshipping ancestors, sticking Spring Festival couplets, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, dragon and lion dances, temple fairs, New Year greetings and so on."

At this moment, there was a scrambled voice from not far away.

"Probably they're coming back from the ancestral hall." Chen Lighting said.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, more than a dozen people walked over happily carrying a large number of New Year's goods on their hands and shoulders.

"Guangming, your Xiaoqing is here, and he brought a beautiful girlfriend." One of the villagers at the front said.

"Yes." Chen Guangming said, with great joy in his tone, and he spoke a little eagerly.

"Mom, Dad." Chen Zhaoqing walked over and said.

"Xiaoqing."

"Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Xiaodi." Chen Zhaoqing introduced to Xiaodi.

"Uncle, aunt." Xiao Di said.

"You are Xiaodi, I have been hearing Xiaoqing mention you on the phone before, saying that you are beautiful and smart." Chen's mother said, "When I see it now, I am really beautiful and delicate, my Xiaoqing is looking for you to be his girlfriend, it is his blessing, in the future, I hope you two will live a good life." ”

Chen's mother was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

"I've been on the plane for more than ten hours, I'm hungry, let's go, go home, I'll cook delicious food for you to eat." Chen's father also said.

Farewell to the other villagers.

Chen Guangming used the key to open the red-lacquered wooden door.

Walk in. A gravel path paved with cobblestones. On both sides of the gravel path is a lawn with an area of about 1 acre. The lawn is surrounded by several flower beds, which are full of various flowers, and they are purple and red. In the corner of the lawn, a fish pond was dug with all kinds of ornamental fish, and a grape trellis was built next to the fish pond.

It is full of the style of a small rural courtyard.

The four of them walked to the end of the gravel path and pushed open the door.

The interior of the house is also very luxuriously decorated.

Hand-woven carpets decorated with Chinese elements. Solid wood floors, large solid wood tables, ornate crystal chandeliers overhead, and walls covered with various decorative paintings and ornaments.

The room was also very spacious.

Two floors.

One floor below is the lobby.

The area of the hall is more than 100 square meters.

Above are the bedrooms.

There are 4 large rooms.

This is a proper villa, this house is placed in China, and only the billionaires can afford to live in it.

Chen Guangming piled the New Year's goods on the table, piling up a table.

New Year's goods are very abundant.

There are dried beef, dried fish, venison, and rice cakes purchased by the royal family from China. Dried bamboo shoots, Norden ham. Sauce board duck and so on, and a bottle of space rice wine.

These New Year's goods are enough for a family to eat for the New Year, and they can't even eat it for a week.

In the hall, Chen's mother and Xiaodi chatted, and the two chatted very happily.

Chen Zhaoqing looked around the inside and outside of the house.

And Chen's father was stir-frying in the kitchen, and the aroma came from the kitchen.

Soon, a plate of dishes was on the table.

"Xiaoqing, it's time to eat."

"Okay, Mom."

Chen Zhaoqing washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.

The dishes on the table were generous.

Blood duck, boiled beef, braised carp, and a vegetable, a soup.

Looking at the very hearty meal on the table.

Chen Zhaoqing was a little emotional.

In the past, although their family did not say that they were poor, they lived a tight life, and such a hearty meal could only be eaten during the New Year and festivals.

Because he was lucky to be born in the Chen family, the Chen family has another Chen Rui, the king of the Tortuga Kingdom, and the fate of all the Chen family has changed dramatically.

Status, the status of members of the royal family is very respected in the Kingdom of Tortuga, although there are no privileges on the surface, but there are still many hidden privileges, for example, you can freely choose a job, join the military, enter politics, and enter the company belonging to the royal family's assets is very easy, and the promotion is often a little faster than others. Life, living in a house like a luxury villa, even if you don't need to work, you can live the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing.

Sometimes fate is just that.

"Xiaodi, try this braised carp meat, it is rare to eat authentic wild carp in domestic cities." Chen's mother sandwiched a piece of carp meat into Xiao Di's bowl.

"Thank you, auntie."

Chen Zhaoqing also took a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then said, "It is true that this carp tastes good, just like the carp I ate when I was a child. Speaking of this, he turned to Chen's father and said, "Dad, it must be very expensive to eat authentic wild carp on Tortuga Island." ”

"It's not very expensive, the domestic wild carp sells for about 30 yuan a pound in big cities, and it sells for 110 yuan a pound here, which is equivalent to about 21 yuan a pound, which is the price of live, fresh fish, and the frozen fish is only more than 6 yuan a catty." Chen Guangming said.

After listening, Chen Zhaoqing said strangely, "Tortuga Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and there are no big rivers, why is it so cheap for carp to grow in freshwater lakes, so much cheaper than in China." ”

Chen Guangming smiled, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, put a piece of beef in his mouth, and said, "The carp here is shipped from the United States one by one. ”

Because there are a lot of carp in the United States, and Americans don't eat carp, they are flooded, and they can catch a large boatload of fish by fishing in the river at will, and there is no need for much fishing cost at all, which is almost negligible compared to the transportation cost.

After the Americans catch carp from the river, they transport it to Tortuga Island by frozen boats, the most important thing is the transportation cost, the cost of transporting live fish is relatively high, and the cost of transporting frozen fish is actually very low, so wild Asian carp are sold very cheaply on the island, much cheaper than in China.

However, the Americans have also made a lot of money, because in addition to the cost of transportation, other costs are almost negligible, the carp flooded by the Great Lakes can be fished with you, the US government and government can't ask for it, quickly take away these scourges, and even give various subsidies, you know, in 2012, the Austrian government even spent more than 50 million US dollars, just to prevent the invasion of Asian carp.

All of a sudden, there were several fishing companies in the United States that specialized in catching carp in American rivers and shipping them to Tortuga Island to sell.

The island of Tortuga consumes no small amount of Asian carp. (To be continued......)
