Chapter 429: Get on the Dumplings and Get Off the Noodles (Three Watches)
"Three donkeys, you rabbit cub, what's the ghost called in the middle of the night? I'm not afraid to scare people. "The old lady has come to the shore at this time with the support of the fifth and ninth masters, followed by Wang Yunhai and Liu Qingshan.
A few of them knew that the little brother was going to get up in the morning to catch fish, so they all got up with him, but they didn't move quickly, so they were only a few minutes late.
Seeing that Taigong and everyone were coming, Zhou Hu stood on the raft and shouted: "Taigong, you have to know what is going on in Lu Dao, I wish I was scared every day." This time, my second dog brother has made a fortune, and he has made a fortune. My mother, there are more than 20 dragon carp on the Internet, all of them more than five or six pounds. ”
"Ha Lu haha, okay, okay, you go on, you kid no matter how loud you call, there is such a good thing The old man really wants to be scared every day.
So a few people stood on the shore and patiently watched the little brothers cast their nets in the pond to catch fish.
In less than an hour, the brothers successively fished up one hundred and eighty large dragon carp, and the youngest one was more than five catties. Of course, there are smaller ones than this, but since there are big ones and there are so many brothers, they let go of the small ones.
Looking at the big dragon carp jumping in the barrel and the big basin, several old men excitedly circled around the fish, and said "amazing, amazing" in their mouths.
After calming down for a while, Taigong asked Zhou Yu, who was filling the bucket with water, "Ergouzi, didn't you say that this thing can't be raised in general?" You're not only feeding but growing so fast, what's going on? ”
"Taigong, do you say that there are such good places in the Taiping Rim and eight villages within a radius of ten miles or even around Qingshan County? Look at how good the water quality on our mountain is, it's sweet when you take a sip. And the environment here is also amazing. You smell all over the mountains, and the fragrance of flowers and plants is everywhere. There is no pollution at all. Our place is similar to Qinglong Pond, and it may be better than there. So this dragon carp naturally feeds. What's not surprising, is there? Zhou Yu talked eloquently, and outsiders listened to it like this.
"Uncle, Xiao Yu is right, I think the environment here is indeed better than that of Qinglong Pond, and it is natural that this dragon carp can be raised. Wang Yunhai said with a smile.
"Ergouzi, Taigong is really convinced of you now, I hope this fish can be raised in Xianyu Bay. I don't want to be able to grow as fast as you here, as long as I can raise it, our village will be terrible. Anyway, I've lived for more than 80 years, and I've never eaten such delicious fish, so the price can't be lower.
By the way, Ergouzi, how much do you plan to sell this dragon carp for a catty? ”
The old lady asked again.
"Oh, I discussed this matter with Brother Liu and Brother Liu, in view of the fact that this is the first time we have been listed, we will sell it for sixty yuan a pound for the time being, and then see how the market rises in the future."
"How much~how much? Sixty dollars a pound? I said that the dragon carp of the second dog is good. But isn't it unrealistic to sell it for sixty yuan a pound? Don't let your victory get carried away, boy? The fifth master said in surprise on the side.
"Hehe, Fifth Uncle, you don't have to worry about this, what is this to the people in the city? It is not a matter for ordinary families to buy a three-pound or two-pound home to make a tooth sacrifice. And our dragon carp tastes so good, if you want me to see sixty yuan a catty, it's a little bit. When our popularity starts, they can rush to buy it for 180 yuan. Liu Qingshan analyzed it for the fifth master from a professional point of view.
"Haha Since Qingshan has said so, then this matter is reliable, okay. Let's stop leaning on here, and help them carry the fish to the car. It's time to set off later. The old lady said.
After that, several people carried buckets of dragon carp to the car, and the two brothers changed their clothes and drove down the mountain.
Although it was night, the moon was in the sky, and the asphalt road was walking, and the brothers came to the yard smoothly.
Although they could have thought in advance that there would be someone in the courtyard, the brothers never expected that there would be so many people.
I saw a large group of people in the courtyard surrounding Zhou Dingbang and Zhou Dingguo talking there, with a happy face. A few women such as the aquatic daughter-in-law were still carrying baskets with several large lunch boxes in them, and they didn't know what Lu Dao contained.
Seeing that Zhou Yu and his brothers were coming, everyone gathered around and greeted them cordially. The leader of the third day and the big hand waved and shouted: "Shuisheng, everyone is here, hurry up and put the table." ”
As Shui Sheng agreed, he and Da Kui moved a round table over after a while, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand.
As the table was set, the women carrying the baskets opened the lunch boxes, which were full of dumplings, and the whole lunch boxes were placed on the table, a total of eight lunch boxes. And Shui Sheng also took out a few empty bowls and poured some wine into the bowls.
Brother Zhou Yu looked at each other, and the corners of his eyes suddenly turned red, and over there, Zhou Dingbang and Accountant Zhang were also short of breath, and their eyes were full of tears.
Although this ritual is simple, it is the highest ceremony for the whole village.
"Get on the car dumplings and get off the noodles" is already a tradition engraved in the bones in the north, with a deep meaning. Although dumplings feel common now, in ancient times, they could only be enjoyed on major festivals or solemn occasions such as worshipping ancestors, worshipping heaven, earth, ghosts and gods. Therefore, when people are about to part, they send dumplings to each other, expressing the greatest respect for people.
Noodles also have a meaning, in folklore, it symbolizes "long" and "constant". It implies that it always comes and goes, and family affection is eternal; In the homecoming ceremony, it symbolizes the celebration of victory, triumph, return, and no longer separation.
And now that so many people in the village have come to see each other off, how can this strong affection not move these people?
Zhou Dingbang took two deep breaths and said to the third master: "Third uncle, a few of us are going to the provincial capital, so we don't need this, right?" ”
Hearing this, the third master raised his hand and pressed it, and the originally noisy courtyard suddenly became silent.
After that, the old man said loudly: "Dingbang, Dingguo, today is a happy day for our Zhoujia Village, you will go to the village to do a big thing later, what is it for us to come and send such an important matter?" Today, I am entrusted by the villagers to toast you on behalf of everyone, and I hope you will have a smooth journey, success and a good start. Come on, don't talk nonsense, let's do it together! ”
Zhou Dingbang's brothers and Accountant Zhang took the wine with red eyes and drank it all with the third master.
After drinking, the aunt who was walking the basket hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the lunch box and sent it to these people. Dumplings are a must-eat, and the master is almost able to hold on to them. After the last, Zhou Hu chewed dumplings in his mouth and got into the car with two lunch boxes in his hands.
The bright moon in the sky hangs obliquely in the sky, the morning breeze is gentle, the fragrance of flowers is permeated, and the pure air is fresh and refreshing. On this sweet night of moonlight, the three elders of Zhoujia Village and the two younger generations once again embarked on the road of the provincial capital with the sincere blessings of the villagers, with the belief of victory, and the desire of the whole village for a happy life.
At seven o'clock, the two cars finally arrived outside Liu Sanpao's clubhouse, at this time Liu Sanpao and Liu Yunfei were already waiting outside, and when they saw that everyone had arrived, they hurriedly let them into the clubhouse.
The new store is in the center of the provincial capital, next to the bustling commercial street, at this time Liu Yunfei and Liu Sanpao's subordinates have already been busy opening in the new store, these two stayed here to welcome Zhoujiacun and his party, as for the opening ceremony is scheduled at 9:18 in the morning, to ask for good luck. The opening ceremony was immediately followed by the opening of the new store.
The group of people in Zhoujia Village had already eaten breakfast, so Liu Sanpao took everyone to visit the club, and then arranged everyone into a private room, and asked people to bring tea and snacks for everyone to rest for a while.
It was the first time for Zhou Dingguo's brothers and Accountant Zhang to come, and when they saw such a big and magnificent club, their eyes were almost not enough, and at the same time, the three of them secretly smacked their tongues in their hearts, they didn't expect that this fat man Liu who had been laughing and laughing with everyone as soon as he arrived in Zhoujia Village had such a big industry, it was really unseemly!
