Lin Manzhang knows many people.

He contacted Lu Ao on the spot to a fish fry farm, which breeds dragonfly fry all year round.

However, there is no stock now, so we have to place an order for temporary breeding. The minimum order is 200 tails, and the price is 7 yuan per head for 500 tails or less. The delivery will take a month.

Lu Ao knew for the first time that the fry also needed to be customized. After thinking about it, he finally agreed.

Lin Manzhang helped with the initial communication and pushed WeChat to Lu Ao to facilitate their subsequent signing of the contract.

Lin Manzhang: "The reputation and technology of this fish fry farm are pretty good. Many friends I know place orders from him."

Lu Ao added someone, responded, and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"Why are you thanking me? You are also doing charity." Lin Manzhang was helpless and admired, "Among the people I know, you are the only one who is willing to throw money into the sea like this."

"I earn more, so it doesn't matter."

"That's not what I said. No matter how much you earn, it's still hard-earned money." Lin Manzhang gently pushed his shoulder, "You go back and rest first, we will sell blue crabs later."

"Then I'll go back first and see you later."

Lu Ao responded, put the green crabs and butter crabs at Lin Manzhang's house, and went back home first. He didn't feel tired, he just felt a little underfed and had to go back for another meal.

The fact that he wasn't full wasn't because Lin Manzhang's family didn't cook enough, but because his appetite was too big and he was too embarrassed to let go.

When she got home, Lu Ao simply made pan-fried fish, stir-fried pork, cold eggplant, seaweed and fish soup, and a big pot of white rice.

After finishing three dishes and one soup, Lu Ao wiped his mouth with satisfaction and went back to his room to take a nap.

The weather is very hot, but his room is very cool. Just turn on the fan.

The cool breeze blew, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep and had a dream.

In his dream, he arrived in the sky over Songzhou in ancient times and flew around the land. He saw that the people of Songzhou were worshiping the God of Sheji during every year and festival. Later, this god gradually took on the name of Songzhou.

Face, gained life, and finally stepped down from the altar.

"Didi-di-di-" a rapid and sharp voice sounded, abruptly bringing Lu Ao from being a bystander back to reality. He opened his eyes, and a dark green flashed across his eyes, which quickly disappeared.

Lu Ao rubbed his temples, pressed the alarm clock that was ringing, sat cross-legged on the bed, let out a long sigh, and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why he dreamed of this.

I don’t know if the content of the dream is really related to Songzhou, or it is just a ridiculous short dream.

After washing, he went to Lin Manzhang's house to gather.

Only Lin Gongshang arrived at Lin Manzhang's house.

There was doubt in Lu Ao's eyes. Seeing his expression, Lin Gongshang hurriedly explained: "The three of them have to do farm work, and they don't catch many blue crabs, so they won't go. The three of us will go, and Brother Niu also happens to be there."

Find us."

"Looking for us?"

"The main thing is to find you." Lin Manzhang came in from the outside with a plate of iced watermelon in his hand. "There is a distinguished guest at Jiacheng Hotel who wants to go fishing. He said that he wants to go to the original fisherman's house and go out to sea in person.

Fishing.”

Lu Ao raised his eyes, "Is this possible?"

"Yes, why not?" Lin Gongshang picked up a big piece of watermelon and ate half of it in one go. He squinted his eyes and sighed, "We used to occasionally receive rich people like this, and we didn't have to worry about them. We gave them whatever they wanted at home.

They can eat whatever they want, be enthusiastic, and it’s best to take them to experience new things, such as squid fishing, digging blue crabs, etc. It’s very profitable.”

"Yes, that's what I mean. The Jiacheng Hotel knows that you are very capable and wants to invite you to entertain the three of them. They said that they would be given three thousand a day and that they would be taken out to sea and eat some wild seafood."

Lu Ao thought for a while and then refused, "Forget it."

"You don't want three thousand a day?" Lin Gongshang was extremely regretful. "This kind of guest usually stays for three or four days and basically receives one visit. You can get tens of thousands without paying taxes."

"No," Lu Ao refused lazily, "I'm too lazy to arrange it."

Lin Manzhang also had a look of regret on his face, "Okay, then I'll talk to Brother Niu in person later."

Lu Ao responded, picked up the watermelon and ate three slices, then stopped and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

Lin Gongshang couldn't help but follow his fingers with his eyes. His white jade-like fingers were round and slender, whiter and softer than the pale tissue.

I don't know if it's because of eating iced watermelon, but his lips are redder than before, and the contrast with his snow-white skin is very obvious.

Lin Gongshang was a little puzzled. Lu Ao used to work in the city. Bai could understand it, but he had been back for almost a month and was exposed to the same wind and sun every day. Why was he still so white?

After the three of them finished eating the watermelon and rested, they moved the blue crabs into the trunk.

Lin Manzhang drove Lu Ao and Lin Gongshang to Longxiang Pier in his van.

Longxiang Pier is a bit far away, and Lu Ao didn't sleep well at noon. He dozed off all the way, and was still a little dazed when he was woken up by the slap.

Lin Manzhang was puzzled, "Why are you so sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lu Ao rubbed his temples, "I'm a little tired from digging blue crabs this morning."

Lin Manzhang's car stopped in front of Niu Deyu's Deyu Fish Shop and honked the horn.

It was already after five o'clock, and there was no one in the fish shop. Niu Deyu was counting the goods. When he heard the sound of the horn outside, he looked out and saw Lin Manzhang. His eyes showed surprise. He quickly put down his things and walked out quickly, saying enthusiastically:

"Are you here? Come in first and have a cup of tea."

The three of them were taking out the blue crabs from the trunk.

Lin Manzhang turned around and said: "We will think of you whenever we have something good. Tea is not enough. At least we want to treat you to a meal."

"Please! Treat you to a feast!" Niu Deyu rubbed his hands and looked around, "Where's the butter crab?"

"He caught it at Lu Ao's place."

Niu Deyu turned his head, and Lu Ao gently tapped the bucket in front of him with his foot.

The big butter crab that was tightly tied up in the bucket tried to move and escape.

"So big?!" Niu Deyu raised his eyebrows instantly, with a blush of excitement on his face, and leaned closer to the bucket, "Okay! You can also catch such a big butter crab. Your place is really a geomantic treasure."

"Yeah, I also said that our village has good Feng Shui and outstanding people." Lin Manzhang answered, "Look at the crabs first. How much is this butter crab worth per pound?"

Niu Deyu gently picked up the butter crab in the bucket.

The butter crab was bigger than his face and weighed heavily in his hand.

Take the crab out to the sunlight and see that the corners of the crab shell are full, the yellow crab legs are bulging, and even the joints have turned orange.

Niu Deyu has been running a fish shop for so many years, but he has only seen butter crabs of such good quality and large size twice.

The first time was more than 20 years ago, when he first opened this fish shop, there were still many blue crabs at that time, and half a pound of wild blue crabs only cost more than ten or twenty yuan per pound.

The other time is now.

He couldn't put it down with the butter crab in his hand. He looked at it over and over for a while and then asked for a price, "Can two thousand one catty be OK?"

Seeing that Lu Ao didn't respond, he quickly added, "We also had wild butter crabs of this quality last year, and other fish shops sold them for 1,810 pounds. Your crab is bigger, so I raised the price by 200. If it were more expensive,

I’m afraid I can’t sell it either.”

This is true.

Some precious seafood are very rare and expensive, but they may not be sold.

The fish shop receives the goods and if it cannot sell them, it will have to lose money and reduce the price.

Lu Ao had checked the price of butter crab before coming here. Niu Deyu's price was quite reasonable, so he agreed.

Niu Deyu smiled so hard that his face wrinkled, and he said in a loud voice: "Let's weigh the butter crab first."

Several people went in.

Niu Deyu gently placed the butter crab on the scale, and the display quickly showed the specific value, "A little over one pound and eighty-two. If you remove the rope, it should be one pound and eighty, three thousand and sixty-six."

Lu Ao nodded.

Niu Deyu smiled: "Mark it down first, and then I'll weigh the other blue crabs."

Blue crabs are divided into male and female sizes, and different blue crabs have different prices.

Lu Ao sold the remaining crabs for a total of one thousand and thirty.

After deducting taxes, his total income today is 2,695, which is very good.

Lin Manzhang and the others also gained hundreds of dollars each, and everyone was happy when the money came into their accounts.

Niu Deyu took them to a nearby restaurant for dinner. At the dinner table, they talked about the rich boss.

Lu Ao didn't accept him, and Niu Deyu was quite regretful, "Didn't you catch a big dragon before? They heard about you and specifically asked to stay at your house. They also said that the price is not an issue. Do you really not consider it?"

Lu Ao swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I don't like having other people at home."

Niu Deyu beat the snake and put it on the stick, "What if I don't live in your house, but you take me to play with me?"

Lu Ao still refused, "I don't have time, I have to fish in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time I have to take care of the vegetables in the field."

"How much is that dish of yours worth? A rich man would pay you three thousand a day!"

No matter how hard he tried, Lu Ao still didn't let go. He didn't like to look at people's faces when eating.

Niu Deyu had no choice but to do the next best thing and asked Lin Manzhang and Lin Gongshang, "Do you want to receive them? But for you, there may be an interview there."

Lin Gongshang paused with his chopsticks and immediately said: "Take it! Why not take it? Three thousand yuan a day, this money is so easy to earn!"
