The New Year comes with the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums.

On the afternoon of the 29th of the year, Lu Ao and Song Zhou tidied up all aspects of the house, then carried baskets and went to worship Lu Ao's parents.

His parents have actually been reincarnated, and the greater significance of this kind of sacrifice is actually to commemorate and pray for their new life.

When they went up the mountain, they saw many families in the village carrying baskets one after another going up the mountain. Everyone would say hello to each other when they saw them.

They responded calmly, saying that after living here for so long, the two of them had completely integrated into the village and had certain relationships with the people in the village.

In the afternoon, the village became lively, with the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums everywhere.

There are gongs and drums and lion dances in the clan, and the young people who have returned to the village have nothing to do, calling friends over to play gongs and drums.

The sound of gongs and drums is not very pleasant, but it does not have the atmosphere of human beings.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou cooked New Year's Eve dinner together, including pigs, beef, sheep, fish, shrimps and crabs.

By the time I finished cooking, it was already past six in the evening.

More and more people are setting off firecrackers outside, and the sound of gongs and drums is getting louder and louder. Because it is getting dark, some people have moved fireworks outside to set off. They can vaguely see the fireworks not far away from the window.

Lu Ao looked up at the fireworks on the horizon, turned to look at Songzhou, and said, "It's so lively, let's have a drink tonight?"

Song Zhou laughed at him, "Is your drinking capacity okay?"

Lu Ao said harshly, "What's wrong with my drinking capacity? I have a very good drinking capacity."

Song Zhou rubbed his head and said, "Then let's have a drink tonight, it's just like drinking together."

Lu Ao touched his nose and his face turned a little red.

It's not shy, it's hot.

Tonight, they can watch the New Year's Eve in a different way and exercise more to avoid getting sleepy.

Eat New Year's Eve dinner, watch the Spring Festival Gala, drink and spend the Spring Festival night.

The first year the two spent together was simple and exciting.

When Lu Ao woke up at around ten o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he huddled under the quilt and laughed silently for a while before getting up and washing up. He was quite satisfied with his year.

The Chinese New Year is always very leisurely. On the first night of the Lunar New Year, they invited several people from Lingong Shang to their home to have hot pot. They all brought their families. In the end, Lu Ao and Song Zhou opened three tables in the yard to be able to sit down.

Gui Yandan led a group of women to wash vegetables, while a group of men chopped and chopped, handling the more difficult ingredients. No one in the group was idle.

There were many people in the yard, and the atmosphere was lively. Children were running around in the yard, and fireworks were set off from time to time. Everyone talked and laughed, and the day passed.

On the second and third days of the Lunar New Year, they didn't go anywhere, they just stayed in the yard.

After being busy for most of the year, I relax during the Chinese New Year. Even if I don’t do anything, I feel very comfortable just lying down.

Lu Ao liked days like this very much, especially when he could see the person he loved in the blink of an eye.

Starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the two began to accept invitations from friends. The first banquet was organized by the ship boss and the others in Qianyong City.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou attended together.

A group of senior men watched them coming hand in hand and said nothing, but warmly welcomed them in.

The bosses on the ship are all well-informed, and there are rarely dozens of people there. Everyone regards this as the normal state of life, and no one behaves strangely.

They have been to too many places, and many countries have allowed same-sex marriage. They have seen a lot, so naturally they don't find it strange.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou were arranged to sit down at the table. Lu Ao noticed that a stage had been set up in front of them, and there were speakers in the back for use. It was estimated that someone would come up to speak later.

A group of people were eating, drinking, and chatting during the dinner, and somehow they got to know Lu Ao's ocean ranch.

"Lu Ao, your marine ranch is almost ready."

"What's wrong?"

The speaker's name was Lin Yunqiao. He had had drinks with Lu Ao several times and they were considered familiar.

Lin Yunqiao said: "Didn't I hear that you are building this marine ranch and want to buy some fish fry? Let me ask you."

When Lu Ao heard this, he became interested and said, "Brother Lin, can you recommend some resources?"

"I do. I have a friend who has opened a fish fry farm and is currently cultivating a batch of abalone. Are you interested?"

They are close to the sea, and there are many fish farmers and fish fry farms, so the competition between them is quite fierce.

Lin Yunqiao was promoting business for a friend, "My friend's medium-sized abalone is quite good. The abalone in his hand is imported from the ocean. When grown, one weighs more than a kilogram. The meat is plump and delicious. It is very

Welcome, I wonder if you are interested."

"A purebred Ocean abalone or a hybrid with local abalone?"

"There are purebreds, and there are also hybrids. It mainly depends on what kind you want. He has the resources there. If you don't like the batch he has, he can also give you freshly bred ones."

"I prefer local Bao. I wonder if you can give him a call and I can talk to him in detail then?"

"Hey, I don't have to wait until then. Are you free after dinner? He is at home now. If you are free, I will take you there."

Lu Ao didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic and was a little surprised.

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Yunqiao didn't hide it from him, "My friend's abalone fry are of good quality, but the quality is too good. Seeing such good abalone, he was a little radical and couldn't help but expand the scale. Now there are still millions

I only have abalone fry in my hand, and I'm in a hurry right now."

Lu Ao glanced at Song Zhou and saw that he had no objection. He nodded and said, "Okay, if it's early after dinner, could you please lead the way so we can go over there and have a look."

"This time is definitely no problem. Don't worry, his abalone fry will definitely be the lowest in the city if they are of the same quality. If you want to go there, they can get you the ready stock."

After Lin Yunqiao and Lu Ao finished talking, many people at the banquet knew that Lu Ao was really going to start building his marine ranch.

This project is large and requires a lot of things. Whether it is artificial reefs, fish fry or scientific research instruments, these all need to be purchased.

The ship bosses have been around here for so long, and everyone has more or less channels. Even if they can't earn any help themselves, they can just facilitate a business first and get some kickbacks.

Everyone came to talk to Lu Ao with this in mind. After several visits, Lu Ao became the busiest person in the room. Even their group leader was not as busy as him.

Lu Ao didn't mind either. He received business cards mercilessly and not a single project was finalized.

He needs to go back and check the situation of each store carefully before deciding whether to place an order.

They had lunch at this party. After eating, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Yunqiao was not afraid of being late and drove his BMW directly over. "My friend's fish fry factory is in the suburbs. You get in the car and I will take you there. This is

The roads are not easy to walk on, so I might scratch the chassis of your car."

Lu Ao smiled, "Brother Lin, you are taking too much trouble."

"It's for friends. You don't know, his fry have been cultivated. He needs a day's feed to hold them in his hands for one day. He can't stand so many abalone fry in his hands. He's so anxious at home that his hair breaks out.

It’s all going to fall off.”

Every business has risks. If you breed too many fry, you will consume a lot of feed. Nowadays, feed is not cheap. Feed alone costs hundreds of dollars every day.

In addition, as abalone fry get larger, their space for movement becomes smaller. With so many fry pressed together, the risk of pests and diseases increases sharply.

It requires medicines and manual maintenance. Basically, if you keep it on your hands for a day, you will have to invest thousands of dollars in it.

During the Chinese New Year, it is quite annoying to have such a thing at hand.

Lin Yunqiao talked all the way, and when he was about to reach his destination, he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, my brother is a kind man and will not increase your price. If you want the best, I will help you.

Both sides will get some benefits. It’s okay if you don’t like it. Business is negotiated. If there is no chance of cooperation this time, maybe there will be next time.”

Lu Ao nodded, "I accept your good advice."

When Lu Ao and the others arrived at their destination, they discovered that Lin Yunqiao's friend was contracted to cultivate fish fry in a fish pond.

Dozens of fish ponds, large and small, are lined up like greenhouses on the plains.

Lin Yunqiao said: "This side is close to the sea, and their fish ponds are filled with sea water. Because the salinity of each type of marine life is different, they basically use one pond for one purpose, and will not mix them for cultivation."

“This fish pond looks so spectacular!”

"I think your ocean ranch is even more spectacular, good guy! It's more than 60,000 square meters. If you hadn't accomplished this feat, we wouldn't have dared to imagine it."

“The space is large and the backlog of funds is large, so it’s not certain what will happen in the future.”

"How much do I believe what others say? Just forget it. With your luck, what can you do to lose?"

While they were talking, a dark, thin, middle-aged man who looked like a farmer came out of the house next to the fish pond.

Lin Yunqiao looked at him and said, "Lao Di, I brought my friend over to see the fry. What else do you have here?"

"Welcome, welcome." Lao Di came up and shook hands with them, "Sea cucumber, abalone, dragonfly, sea urchin...what do you want?"

Lu Ao said: "I would like some sea cucumber and abalone. Do you have Splendid Lobster?"

"No, no one here raises beautiful lobsters?" Lao Xu said, "If you want, I can try to help you breed a batch."

Lu Ao smiled, "Let's take a look at the fry you have now."
