The fishing boat is like a pot, turning over on the embankment. Ma Tao didn't care about the darkness at the bottom of the pot, so he sat on the pot with his butt, wiping his sweat and saying to Ma Zhu, who was panting next to him, Dian is dry, Dad!

It's dry. Ma Zhu was still pouting and wiping the mud from the boat, and he didn't lift his head. He wanted to paint the ship. The two of them had just dragged the boat from Baiyangdian to the shore to dry.

It's useless for you to paint, the lake is dry, the water is clean, there are no fish, and the boat is useless. Ma Tao narrowed his eyes and looked at the increasingly intense sunlight, this damn God, it won't rain heavily, doesn't it make people's hearts dry out?

Ma Zhu didn't listen to his son's lyricism, and came over with a paint bottle and a brush and said, Ma Tao, get up.

What am I going to do when I get up? Ma Tao is still looking at the sun, he has seen a colorful world.

You get up, I'll paint!

You brush it, I'll get up and you brush it! You're good at brushing! Ma Tao said.

But I got up, and I was gone. Ma Tao said again.

I'll have to brush it when you go. I don't believe that this Baiyangdian Lake doesn't come with water! Ma Zhu dragged his son.

Ma Tao got up, took off his red shirt from the small willow tree on the embankment, and walked away without looking back.

Ma Tao went to the county seat. Ma Tao, who has left the water, wanders in the city under the sun, feeling like a fish walking on the shore. The city is also dry, there is no harbor in the city, there are no reeds, and there are no lotus flowers for a long time. Ma Tao took off the red shirt, raised his hand above his head, and began to run down the street. The shirt spreads out into a huge lotus flower in the wind.

Ma Tao, who can make lotus flowers, learns in a cooking class. Soon, he was hired to work as a chef in a unit. With one lunch a day, Ma Tao's work is very leisurely. After finishing the work, you can also go to the communication room to chat with the guards and cleaners, read the newspaper, and talk about the World Cup. Ma Tao felt that he had also become a member of the unit, and even had the idea of turning a regular and finding a partner in the city. He told Wen Xiaonuan, the waiter, about this idea. Wen Xiaonuan smiled and said, Ma Tao, you are really funny, if you can turn positive, I will be the boss. When Ma Tao heard this, he was like a deflated kayak, and suddenly wilted on the water.

As soon as Wen Xiaonuan's blow passed, the unit changed its leader. As soon as the new leader takes office, he will agree on three chapters of the law: all employees will go back to the organ for dinner at noon; If there is a banquet, it should also be arranged in the canteen; The canteen has one recipe a day to ensure a variety of meals.

There were more people eating, Ma Tao became busy, and there was no time to chat and watch football. It's okay to be busy, the problem is that it's hard to reconcile. These officials ate smoothly outside, and they were not used to it when they returned to the cafeteria, either the food was too salty, or the fish was too light, and the chattering accusations made Ma Tao, who was busy with sweat, feel cold. The most unbearable thing was the anger of the new leadership that day. That day, the leader had a good appetite and talked and laughed with everyone. But frowning as he ate, he pulled a blonde hair out of his mouth. The leader snapped the chopsticks to the ground, Ma Tao, what do you think this is? Is it the grass in Baiyangdian? I'm going to deduct your wages!

Ma Tao, who was deducted from his salary, resigned. Before leaving, he took a pair of big scissors, found Wen Xiaonuan who was taking a lunch break, and cut her long golden hair with a click.

Ma Tao walked in the sunshine of the city again. He lifted the red shirt above his head once more, and let it unfurl into a blooming lotus flower. After the exhibition, the lotus flower fell on the roof of the Huangjia Fish Restaurant.

The owner of the Huangjia Fish Restaurant took Ma Tao in, fell in love with Ma Tao, and passed on the family recipe for making a whole fish banquet to Ma Tao. For a time, Ma Tao became the celebrity chef of the whole fish banquet. Under his chef, the Huangjia Fish Restaurant has become a lively place in the county.

In the flow of people who tasted the whole fish feast, Wen Xiaonuan came. Ma Tao saw that her hair grew out and dyed golden yellow, like a yellow croaker. Behind the yellow croaker turned out to be the new leader of the unit. That day, Ma Tao personally served them food. Ma Tao smiled and said to the leader, leader, don't you go out to eat? Why did you bring a Russian lady?

The leader smiled with his fingers crossed, Ma Tao is your kid! This is not Miss Russia, she is now Director Wen in charge of logistics, and I brought her to learn from you!

Ma Tao brought a braised catfish to them. He filled the catfish's belly with a clump of hair.

Ma Zhu finally found Ma Tao in the Huangjiayu Restaurant. At that time, Ma Tao was happily counting money with Boss Huang's daughter Huang Chunjian. Ma Zhu snapped and gave Ma Tao a neck crutch, you kid is having fun here, your mother and I want to go crazy with you!

Ma Tao was blinded by the fan and was fanned. Ma Tao said to Chunjian, this is our father, you go and pour water!

Dad, if you don't come early or late, you just come when this fish restaurant is booming. You're here, I'm supposed to be back! Ma Tao put the money away, covered half of his face and said.

Boy, the water is coming to Baiyangdian, and my fishing boat can go down to the lake to fish again-

Ma Tao stood up and pouted, just your broken boat? It's long outdated. I'm going to buy a speedboat, and I'm going to tear down our house near the embankment and build a restaurant. Tell you, it's not called Huangjia Fish Restaurant, it's not called Ma Zhu Fish Restaurant, it's called Ma Tao Fish Restaurant! You say okay?

You're saying you promised to go home. Ma Zhu raised his hand and gave Ma Tao another crutch, but this time it didn't fan.

Ma Tao nodded, pressed Ma Zhu on the chair, looked at the traffic and people outside the fish house and the high-rise buildings, and said slowly, Dad, the city is good, but the city is someone else's city, not mine. My home is in Baiyangdian, on the Qianli Embankment.

A month later, on the edge of Baiyangdian Lake and on the thousand-mile embankment with the fragrance of lotus, Ma Tao Fish House officially opened to welcome guests.
