Chapter 161 Ding Yi came to the door
After Zhang An chatted with him for a few words, he hung up the phone.
Zhang An is not in the habit of talking on the phone with grown men. It’s scary to think about two grown men still chatting on the phone even though they have nothing to do.
My teacher Su is still waiting for me to call.
After leaving the room, I told my mother that Ding Yi was coming to the house tomorrow.
Wang Fang has received more people in the past six months, and it is common for such things to happen.
He left Zhang An with the words "I understand" and then went about his own business.
Zhang An returned to the room and talked on the phone with his teacher Xiao Su.
The phone in Su Ying's house has always been placed in the living room, so Su Ying usually finds it inconvenient to call Zhang An.
Later Zhang An asked her to go to the telecommunications bureau to buy a phone and find someone to come and get it.
In this way, you can have one number and two phones at home.
Su Ying can also call Zhang An in her room.
This is what Zhang An does at home. There is a landline downstairs and a landline in Zhang An’s room upstairs, which is very convenient.
In this way, even if Zhang An is not at home and someone calls, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo can hear the noise.
The next morning, Zhang An came up and sprinkled water on the seeds sown yesterday.
This is the best time to water while the sun is out.
At ten o'clock, Ding Yi drove his car to Zhang An's yard.
This guy came as soon as he said he would. Zhang An thought he would come later, but who knew that this guy came early in the morning.
And this time Ding Yi actually brought someone with him.
“It’s been a long time since I saw you, uncle and aunt, and I’m here to help you out again.”
Ding Yi greeted Zhang An's parents with a smile as usual.
Hand over what he brought.
Every time this guy comes, he has to bring something to Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang.
"Uncle and aunt, Zhang An, this fat guy is my friend Lu Jun, you can just call him Fatty."
Ding Yi then introduced the friends he brought to Zhang An's family.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, and brother Zhang An, I'm here today, thank you for disturbing me."
Lu Jun also smiled and greeted Zhang An's family.
"Why bother? It's not too late to welcome them. Xiao An quickly takes them to sit in the room."
Among the friends Zhang An knows, Wang Fang, in addition to the future In addition to his daughter-in-law Su Ying.
The most satisfied person is Ding Yi, because Ding Yi is the biggest financial sponsor of Zhang An's family.
Ding Yi gave Zhang An a total of 100,000 yuan for the ginseng root.
Later, Zhang An was able to contract Huangtupo entirely because of this money.
Friends like this should be very popular no matter where they are placed.
Zhang An took the two of them to sit down aside, and Ding Yi began to introduce Zhang An to the friends next to him.
Although Lu Jun is not as tall as Zhang An, he is considered a tall person locally.
Especially with its tonnage, it is really powerful.
“I’ve always wanted to get to know Zhang An, but this guy always says he’s busy and won’t bring me over if he has something delicious to eat.”
Lu Jun said, stood up and shook hands with Zhang An shake hands.
"Hahaha, from now on Fat Brother can come whenever he wants. Come, drink tea."
Zhang An poured the freshly brewed Yunwu tea for the two of them. Had a drink.
"This tea is the one you guys have been showing off to me. I asked you for a long time where you bought it and you still didn't tell me. It turned out that it was bought from Zhang An."
It can be seen that Lu Jun I have a very good relationship with Ding Yi.
You can feel it just from the joking words.
"Zhang An, let me tell you, this Fatty Lu is an old foodie. Every time I have something good at home, it cannot escape his mouth. The tea I brought back last time was ruined by him. . ”
“Come on, you old bastard, you still have the nerve to tell others, please stop making Zhang An laugh.”
In the subsequent chat, Zhang An understood. The relationship between these two people.
It turns out that Fatty Lu is Ding Yi’s college roommate and a close friend.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.
Ding Yi himself is a big foodie, and Lu Jun, who gets along well with him, is also another big foodie.
When they were in college, the two of them made appointments every day to find delicious places to eat.
A profound and indescribable friendship was formed.
After Lu Jun graduated, because it was delicious and his family supported it, he started aquatic products business in the provincial capital.
"Xiao An, you go to the pond to catch some fish, and I will cook."
The few people were chatting happily, and it was time to cook.
Wang Fang washed the rice and put it on the pot to heat, then filtered out the cooked rice and put it in the steamer to start steaming the rice.
Then he asked Zhang An to go to the pond to catch some fish so that he could cook for lunch.
If his family usually eats, Wang Fang won’t waste too much time.
But today we have guests coming, so we must be more prepared.
Lu Jun has been running an aquatic product company for several years, and he eats a lot of fish.
Hearing his mother calling him, Zhang An answered.
"Then you guys sit down for a while, and I'll go to the next cage and come back."
"No need to be so polite, we just happened to go to your pond to have a look."
Lu Jun is The person who runs the aquatic products company happened to be following Zhang An to the edge of the pond to take a look.
After he first tasted the fish raised by Zhang An’s family at Ding’s family, his eyes were opened.
Because this Fatty Lu not only sells aquatic products, he is also a famous foodie.
Every time something good arrives, he must try it first.
Over the years, Lu Jun has eaten a lot, whether good or bad.
So after tasting Zhang An’s fish, I made up my mind not to let go of such a good product.
With such a good source of goods in hand, it is not only about making money.
And with fish like this, he can develop more customers in the provincial capital.
You must know that the provincial capital is developing rapidly now, and everyone is on this express train.
The aquatic product market is only so small. If you want to get more customers, either the price is low or the products are good.
But in today’s environment, everyone has almost the same stuff.
So we can only fight a price war, but this is not a wise move.
Small companies are not worthy of such tactics.
Maybe your company will be gone before you win customers.
So when Lu Jun met a source of goods like Zhang An’s, he would not miss anything unless there was something wrong with his brain.
"Okay, let's go to the edge of the pond and have a look."
Ever since he knew that Lu Jun was working in an aquatic products company, Zhang An knew that Ding Yi brought him here this time, not only It’s as simple as coming to play.
So he did not reject Lu Jun's proposal and led them through the back door of the hall to the pond.
Now on the surface of the fish pond, there is still grass that Zhang An cut back from the nearby forest in the morning.
At first, Lu Jun felt a little disappointed when he looked at the fish pond, which was less than an acre.
The pond is so big, but there certainly isn’t much production in it.
But after getting closer, I found that the fish pond was actually full of fish.
Seeing so many fish heads was a bit beyond Lu Jun’s understanding.
In the fish ponds he had seen in the past, with such a dense population, the fish were all wilted and not active at all.
But in Zhang An’s fish pond, the opposite is true. Although there are many fish, he seems to be in good spirits.
Zhang An took out a ground cage from the nearby compartment, added some materials to it, and put it into the pond. "What you can eat at noon today depends on what you can catch in this cage."
"This is boring, let's have some fried eels."
Ding Yi shook his head. How many fish could he catch using the cage alone?
“Okay, let’s get some more eels.”
When Zhang An’s farmhouse opened, the most popular items sold were spicy rabbit and spicy chicken.
The stir-fried meal section is the best-selling, not only because the eel is good, but also because Zhang An’s spicy peppers are particularly fragrant when fried.
Zhang An found a basin and reached into the fish pond while talking to Ding and Yi.
Zhang An swung his palm back and forth in the water, and an invisible spring water flowed into the fish pond.
Soon, fish came around and passed through Zhang An's hand.
After a few fish swam in my hand, the eel took over.
Seeing Zhang An catching one so easily, Lu Jun even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Then he made the same move as Huang Ming and put his hand into the water, but he couldn't touch any hair for a long time.
"Zhang An, how come you can catch me? I didn't touch anything."
"Well, maybe they are not familiar with you and are unfamiliar with them, so they won't let you catch them."
Lu Jun didn't believe what he said.
But Zhang An didn’t say anything, and he didn’t ask any further questions.
Soon, Zhang An caught four or five eels and put them in the basin.
The thick ones are as thick as a baby's arms, and the smaller ones weigh more than half a catty.
The largest one weighs at least a pound or more, and its color has begun to change from yellow to green, and even a little bit blue and black.
Not many people eat eel in rural areas at the moment, but there are quite a few in cities.
Lu Junmen has eel in his store, so he is no stranger to eel.
But when I saw Zhang An’s eels in the basin, my eyes dropped into the basin.
"Why is your eel so big? What did you feed it to raise it?"
There are a lot of wild eels out there, and you can get them as long as you spend money to collect them.
But Lu Jun has never seen this eel weighing nearly two pounds a piece.
“Well, I didn’t feed anything, I just raised it like this.”
Zhang An pointed to the grass on the water, but this grass was the grass in Zhang An’s space.
Or the leaves on the vegetables in the backyard, and some insects falling into the water.
“High-quality fish often only require primitive raising methods.”
Although Lu Jun didn’t quite believe it, the facts were before him.
You can tell at a glance whether feed has been put into Zhang An’s fish pond.
There are only floating grasses on the water, and a bunch of fish are fighting to eat.
There was no trace of the feed at all, and he believed that Zhang An had no need to hide it.
In this era, there is no gimmick about wild being king.
As long as you raise it well, it is success.
When he first looked at the small fish pond, he thought Chen Ze was coaxing him.
At this time, Lu Juncai believed that Zhang An was a person who could raise good fish.
After catching the eel, it has been more than ten minutes since the ground cage was put down. It is time to raise it.
Zhang An pulled up the lowered floor cage.
"The net is now drawn? Can fish be caught in it?"
Ding Yi felt that not long after the net was put down, he must not be able to catch anything.
“Hey, trust me, come and try.”
Seeing that Ding Yi couldn't do it, Zhang An smiled mysteriously.
Ding Yi walked to the pond and prepared to pull the net, with a look of disbelief on his face.
As he pulled the net up, the disbelief on his face turned into shock.
The three-layer net in the pulled up cage is full of fish.
Zhang An poured them all into the bucket and threw some of the smaller ones into the pond.
"These should be enough for us to eat for lunch."
The bucket contains several yellow chili dices and a mandarin fish that looks to be less than three kilograms or less.
Of course, there is also the thin scales that Zhang An has raised in his family from the beginning.
Zhang An is not a person who loves the new and dislikes the old. He forgets the old fish when he has new ones.
“Zhang An, your family actually keeps this one, how many do you keep?”
Ever since Lu Jun saw the mandarin fish in the basin, he couldn't take his eyes away.
It’s like a pervert seeing a beautiful girl.
“I have raised a lot of these mandarin fish, there should be hundreds of them.”
Zhang An thought about how many he had released before.
"What, Fatty, have you taken your fancy to this fish?"
As a roommate for many years, Ding Yi knew what Lu Jun was thinking when he saw Lu Jun's behavior.
“This is the big-eyed mandarin fish, the best among mandarin fish, and we usually don’t get many.”
Then Zhang An lifted the eel and the fish in the bucket to the water pipe and started deal with.
Lu Jun is a fisherman, and his fish killing techniques are much better than Zhang Andu.
When I got to the water pipe, I asked Zhang An for a kitchen knife and designated the big-eyed mandarin fish for him to kill.
Then, while killing fish, Zhang An and Ding Yi learned about the big-eyed mandarin fish.
Zhang An only knew that this fish was mandarin fish, but he didn’t know the classification of mandarin fish. He didn’t expect that this fish was quite valuable.
Although there are many fish, the three of them handle them together at the water pipe.
It was handled quickly, without Zhang Jianguo even taking a step.
After the eels and fish were killed, Wang Fang spent a lot of effort to prepare a table of dishes.
On this table, most of them are fish.
Steamed mandarin fish, spicy boiled fish, stir-fried rice noodles, yellow bone fish stewed with tofu.
This mandarin fish in particular is notoriously smelly after pickling.
But Wang Fang used special seasonings to make it, and it didn’t smell that bad when it was made. Instead, it smelled particularly fragrant when you got close to it.
When Zhang An was talking with the two of them just now, Wang Fang heard it from the side.
I knew that this fat guy was a fishery business owner, so I put some thought into cooking the fish.
Ding Yi has been to Zhang An's house several times, and he no longer knows how to be polite.
On the contrary, it was Lu Jun next to him. Although he was also an old man, he still had to be polite when he was a guest for the first time. However, this did not last long. Seeing Ding Yi like a wind and a cloud, he also put it down. Reservedly, he began to scan the goods on the table.
I just picked up the mandarin fish with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth. I kept saying it was delicious and gave Wang Fang next to me a thumbs up.
"Auntie, your cooking skills are amazing. I have eaten this mandarin fish many times, but what you cook is absolutely outstanding."
This is not an exaggeration at all, Wang Fang does this Although it doesn’t take long to cook mandarin fish, it can be done many times.
Because mandarin fish has few spines and is easy to eat, Wang Fang often makes it even if it is eaten at home.
So Wang Fang’s skill in making mandarin fish is entirely based on quantity.
Besides, the meat quality of mandarin fish here at Zhang An’s house is not only better than that outside.
And these condiments are all grown at home, and the combination is no less than the skill of a great chef.
"It's not that good. Just make it as you like. Eat more if you like it, Xiao Lu."
Fatty Lu made Wang Fang smile with a few words.
