The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

"It's not that my skills have improved, it's just that this grass carp tastes so crisp, tender, and fresh."

This time, Lu Yao finally spoke.

Previously, grass carp were not fed broad beans; they were fed only artificial forage. However, due to the long time between harvesting, broad beans were added to improve their crispness and shorten the harvesting time.

The fish in Lu Yao's family were originally fed purely artificial grass, and their weight and crispness were just right. They were also fed oat grass that had been soaked in spiritual spring water, making them even more tender and crisp. The reason for feeding them broad beans was to cover up the secret of the spiritual spring.

Planting broad beans is also a preparation for raising crisp grass carp in the future. The secret of watering the planting room with spiritual spring water will not be discovered by others. And since he can raise top-quality crisp grass carp, everyone will only think that he has good breeding skills.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Li Yunbo showed business talent at a very young age, and with a good uncle, he was able to thrive in the business world.

He owns shares in or is registered under his name in the most profitable industries in Fengli County.

Tea plantations, pomelo groves, farms, sand pits, quarries, brick factories, hot spring hotels...

He immediately sensed a business opportunity in Lu Yao's words.

"You know I'm unemployed, and jobs are hard to find these days. I don't want to go out at the end of the year."

"You know my family's situation. We're still in debt, and leaving our fishpond here is a waste. I was thinking about how to make it work, so I looked for solutions online."

"After studying for more than a month, I have actually learned some skills."

Lu Yao didn't intend to deceive the other party, and even if he did, the other party wouldn't believe him.

He would never have believed such a fantastical thing if it hadn't happened to him personally.

It's normal for others to react this way.

You can't just tell people this kind of thing; it might harm them.

"You mean you want to partner with your wife's Maoyuan Farm to make crispy grass carp congee?"

At this moment, the madman finally understood that Lu Yao's decision to raise crucian carp was not a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Everyone calls Li Yunbo "Lao Bo," but if you call him that quickly, it sounds like "wife," and over time it became his nickname.

"Brother Yao, you're truly a lifesaver for me."

Li Yunbo was so excited that he was about to give Lu Yao a big hug, but Lu Yao stopped him with a kick.

Affected by the overall economic downturn and declining consumer spending, his Maoyuan Farm business has been declining day by day, and he is facing bankruptcy because he can't transfer the business.

With Lu Yao's top-quality crispy grass carp, his Maoyuan Farm business will not only be revived, but will also be even more popular than before.

"The pond price for Grade 1 crispy grass carp is 30 yuan per jin; the price for Grade 2 fish is 25 yuan per jin."

Since they were all people who knew each other well, Lu Yao didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"no problem."

Lu Yao's asking price was more than ten yuan higher than the market price, but Li Yunbo still readily agreed.

He felt the price was too low, but he respected Lu Yao's opinion and agreed to whatever price he asked for.

"Brother Yao, I'll bring the contract to you tomorrow afternoon. If you think it's okay, then sign it."

"I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

Li Yunbo took the car keys and pressed the remote control.

"Don't forget to take the fish."

Lu Yao reminded him.

There are two left, one for Li Yunbo and one for the madman.

The madman also drove his van back together.

The next afternoon, Li Yunbo came to find Lu Yao alone with the contract.

Lu Yao was the only one at Wumutang.

Lu Yao took the contract and read it quickly.

He now has a photographic memory and isn't worried about missing anything.

When I saw the last one, I couldn't help but look at Li Yunbo.

"You read that right, we split the farm's shares 50/50."

When Li Yunbo saw Lu Yao looking at him, he knew what Lu Yao wanted to ask.

"With my current technology, it's impossible to farm grass carp on a large scale; the daily supply is limited."

Lu Yao knew what he was worried about: that he might sell the fish to someone else and make him a shareholder in the farm, so he eliminated that possibility.

"That's exactly what I wanted to see."

"Things are valued for their scarcity; this is a classic example of scarcity marketing."

"As long as we can provide the farm with ten servings of crispy grass carp porridge, ten servings of grass carp sashimi, ten servings of crispy grass carp hot pot, and ten servings of steamed, braised, salt and pepper, or pan-fried dishes every day, that's fine."

Li Yunbo only believes in his own money and his own words.

He's known for being picky about food; any dish he can't forget after eating it can't be too bad.

"Don't tell anyone that I'm a shareholder in the farm."

Lu Yao didn't want to be too flashy; keeping a low profile was the right thing to do.

"I know even if you don't tell me."

Li Yunbo gave him an expression that said, "I don't know you at all."

Lu Yao smiled.

"Your initial investment is 200,000 yuan. I'll lend it to you first, interest-free."

Li Yunbo understood Lu Yao's difficulties.

"Two hundred thousand is too little, a small goal is better."

Since borrowing 200,000 is the same as borrowing, I might as well borrow more.

"You overestimate me. Even if I sold all my possessions, it wouldn't be worth a small fortune."

Li Yunbo was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell over.

"I have a banquet tonight, you can make the arrangements. Just give me a call then, and I'll have someone come and pick up the fish," Li Yunbo said before Lu Yao could say anything, and transferred 50,000 yuan to Lu Yao. "This is the money for this month's fish; any overpayment will be refunded, and any underpayment will be collected."

Drive carefully.

Lu Yao was genuinely worried about this guy; he'd driven seventy or eighty kilometers on the village road.

Li Yunbo gave an OK sign.

Lu Yao shook his head and smiled, then took out his phone and called the madman, asking him to come and catch fish in a couple of days.

There's a fishing team in the village, and Crazy is a member of it. He can arrange how many people are needed.

The number of people needed to catch fish depends on the size of the fishpond; the larger the pond, the more people are needed.

His family has fishing nets; all he needs to do is show up.

After making the phone call, I went to the field to water the vegetables.

In the evening, after dinner, Lu Yao drank tea at the door and played with Da Bai and the paparazzi.

Lu Yao has loved raising cats and dogs since he was a child.

Cats and dogs also like to be close to him.

When he goes to someone's house, even the fiercest dog won't be aggressive towards him; instead, it will try to please him.

People with cats at home will come over and ask him to pet them; some of the bolder ones will even sleep on his lap.

Ever since Da Bai was fed water from the spiritual spring, it has been spending more time here than at home, and sometimes Lu Yao has to shoo it away before it will go back.

The seven puppies have grown larger than when they were first delivered, with chubby heads and a somewhat imposing presence.

Just then, the sound of a car approached from afar.

Big White and the paparazzi pricked up their ears, then fell silent and continued playing with Lu Yao.

If the dog doesn't bark, it must be someone you know.

Lu Yao also recognized the sound of the madman's car.

Soon, the madman's car pulled up in front of the door.

"Woof woof woof."

Big White jumped out of the car and screamed like a madman.

Crazy person, what are you doing here again?

"I heard there's a big dog to be killed here, so I'll cook some dog meat."

The madman took a black bag containing something from the car and threw it to Lu Yao.

His favorite thing to do when he came to Lu Yao's house was to argue with Da Bai, and he was very familiar with its dog language.

Lu Yao took the black bag and went into his room.

The black bag contained the five thousand yuan in cash he had exchanged with the madman.

The child always pays in cash for feed and wheat bran, and keeps cash at home.

"Woof woof woof."

Big White rolled its eyes at him and raised one of its forelegs, pointing at the intersection.

Get out, you're not welcome here.

"I'm not leaving. Even your dad can't beat me, what can you do to me?"

The madman plopped down in the chair, crossed his arms, and spread his legs, arrogantly provoking Big White.

The "dad" he was referring to was naturally Lu Yao.

"Woof woof woof."

Big White raised one of its forelegs and pointed it at Lu Yao, then at itself, and then at the madman.

He's your grandfather, I'm your father, and your grandson.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lu Yao laughed so hard he fell off his chair and onto the floor, unable to get up for a long time.

The madman jumped high in anger and headed straight for the kitchen.

When he rushed out of the kitchen with a cleaver in his hand, Big White had already disappeared from sight.
