Chapter 561 Gift
“Okay, okay, don’t stay poor here, go into the house first.”
Zhang An was a little helpless, the fat guy was already married and became a woman. I'm married now, and I'm still as alive as before.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, I've brought you a big guy this time, don't you want to see what it is."
The fat man said quickly, without letting go. When he left, he put his arm on his shoulder and walked outside.
After going out, he saw a large truck with a cargo box parked on the road. Zhang An began to wonder what the hell the fat guy had brought here, and he even had to use such a big car to pull it. .
Could it be those huge things like elephants? Zhang An's face changed when he thought of this. That can't be done.
The fat man didn't pay attention to the expression on Zhang An's face, and directly signaled the truck master to open the door of the truck.
“Damn it, why did you even think about making this thing.”
Looking at the guy in the carriage, Zhang An never expected it to be this thing.
Because there was a sightseeing boat inside, which could probably accommodate four people, so it was no wonder that it had to be loaded in a truck.
But as long as it’s not the elephant’s torture stuff, that’s fine.
“Hey, I just thought that since we have such a big river here, it would be nice to get a boat and experience the feeling of boating on the river often, and even if this boat is not put into the river , your fish pond is enough, how about it, are you satisfied?"
The fat man chuckled, seeming to be satisfied with Zhang An's current reaction.
Zhang An is not only his friend, but also his business partner. He has come here often in the past two years. As early as when Zhang An got married, he had been thinking of getting Zhang An a surprise gift. I just haven't found the right one yet.
Later, after he got married, he once went for a walk by the lake with his wife, and saw the sightseeing boat inside, and he immediately found inspiration.
The river here by Zhang An and his friends is so wide and the water is so calm. The only thing missing is such a small boat.
When he came here to play by the river before, he had played with tire boats several times, but he never felt satisfied because the villagers' own tire boats were too small.
So he ordered one directly and brought it with him this time.
“I am very satisfied. How could I be dissatisfied? I wanted to get one before, but I forgot about it later.”
Zhang An was extremely satisfied with this small sightseeing boat. He did want to buy a small boat before, but it was just like a awning boat. Unexpectedly, Fatty bought him such a big one this time. Li, even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn't.
"But this thing is quite big. It's not easy for us to unload it. You may have to go to the village to find a few people to help."
The next step is to unload, but this The small sightseeing boat was almost as big as Zhang An's pickup truck, and it was difficult for the two of them and the truck driver to handle it.
Fat Lu quickly asked Zhang An to go to the village to find someone to help, because the delivery masters had to rush back.
"This is simple, just wait here for me for a few minutes."
Other things may be difficult, but finding a few people to help is not a problem at all.
There are not many things in the village, but there are many people to ask for help.
After Zhang An finished speaking, he walked around the village and didn't arrive for five minutes. He directly brought a dozen villagers back.
“Oh, Brother An, you actually brought a boat back. It’s so cool to sit up in the river.”
Huang Ming saw it and put it in the car. When I got on the boat, I immediately exclaimed.
When he heard that Zhang An was looking for someone to help unload the cargo, he immediately followed him, but he didn't expect that what was being unloaded was a ship.
The same goes for Zhou Yang and the others. Although there are no fishing boats in the village, they live on the edge of the river. Everyone has seen this thing, because there are people in Xiahewan who have one.
It’s just that those are all wooden boats. To put it bluntly, they are just small canoes. A few pieces of wood can’t compare with the well-made one in front of me.
Then Zhang Jianguo found some poles to set up, and everyone began to unload the boat from the truck.
Although the boat looked quite wide and long, it didn’t seem to be too heavy. As soon as it was taken out of the truck, everyone lifted it up and took it directly to Zhang An’s yard. It didn’t seem to cost too much. of strength.
At this time, Zhang An had time to look at the boat carefully. There was an engine on the boat, but it needed to burn oil.
But there are also paddles, which can be cranked completely by hand without starting the engine.
The few masters who sent the boat together were all from the manufacturer. After briefly explaining to Zhang An how to operate the boat, they went back.
Although Zhang An is very proficient in driving, he has never driven a boat. He originally wanted to ask the master to learn more. It would be best to get the boat into the water and let them train him on the spot. .
But the fat man waved his hand and said that he had learned it and would teach Zhang An when the time came, and then let all the masters go.
Such a ship is undoubtedly a novel and large item for Changqing Village. Zhou Yang, Huang Ming and others wanted to stay and continue to observe.
But seeing that there were guests at Zhang An's house, they didn't stay here longer after the masters who delivered the boats left.
Because when the boat is about to be launched, Zhang An will definitely call them over again to help move the boat. It will not be too late to come over then.
And little Siqi has already set his sights on the new baby at home, leaning against the side of the boat and preparing to climb up and play.
It’s just that the boat is still quite high after it comes out of the water. The little guy is so tall that he can’t reach it at all. Even after climbing for a long time, there is no result.
In the end, the fat man smiled and carried him to the cabin and sat on the seat, thus gaining the little guy's favor. Now he looked at the fat uncle and smiled freely.
Wang Fang then went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. There were guests at home, and she needed to clean up and cook more dishes.
Zhang Jianguo was the only one left in the yard looking at the little guy, while Zhang An and Su Ying accompanied the fat man and his wife to the backyard.
Zhang An casually picked two bunches of grapes from the shelf, preparing to wash them and use them as pre-dinner fruits to entertain the fat man and his wife.
“Damn it, Zhang An, how did you grow these grapes to grow so big?”
When the fat man first entered the backyard, he didn't notice the grapes on the shelf. He didn't notice them until Zhang An reached out to pick them.
He thought that he had been to Zhang An's house many times, and he was already used to it, so nothing would surprise him. However, these huge, plump, uniform and clear grapes took away his attention. .
"This grape is really big. I have never seen such a big grape, whether at home or abroad."
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, his daughter-in-law Zhang Zilin also echoed.
“Hehe, not only do these grapes grow big, but they are also very delicious. You can pay attention to your tongues later and don’t bite them off, especially fat people. You are a foodie. "
Zhang An teased the fat man, but he was right. Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be so close to his dogs. Then Zhang An took two large bunches of grapes back to the kitchen to wash them. Although they were quite clean, just treat them as washing away the dust. After a while, they were put out in a filter basket.
“Not bad, not bad, really delicious. I thought your cherries and peaches were already rare, but I didn’t expect these grapes to be as good as them. My eldest brother knows you Are there such good grapes here?”
The fat man couldn’t wait to eat two, and then gave the highest praise in his heart.
“No, these grapes were just planted last year, and this is the first year to bear fruit. I only plan to plant a few for my own consumption, and I don’t plan too much.”
The last time Lu Cheng came here, he came to harvest peaches. At that time, the grapes on the shelf were probably still the same as brown dolls, with a bunch of fine seeds.
Otherwise if he finds out, he will probably have to be like Ding Yi, who earnestly persuades Zhang An to build a vineyard.
After the fat man ate half of the bunch of grapes, he consciously stopped.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat more, it’s just that he hasn’t eaten yet. If he eats grapes and is full, he will have to open his eyes and watch other people eat when he eats. He had suffered this when he came here before. Lesson learned.
Afterwards, Su Ying and Zhang Zilin were talking quietly about women's affairs in the boudoir, and Zhang An and Fatty kept talking to each other.
"Let's go and see the fish in the fish pond. You haven't been here for a long time, so you have to take a good look at my babies."
After resting enough, the fat man returned to full health. Stand up and go to the fish pond.
Every time he comes over, the thing he thinks about most is Zhang An’s pond of fish.
I haven’t been here for a long time this year, how can I bear it anymore?
“You go ahead, we will enjoy the cool weather here.”
Zhang Zilin had no interest in this, so she didn't follow along.
"Zhang An, why is it separated by a net?"
Before he walked over, the fat man pointed to the place on the edge of the pond that was surrounded by a net and was held by Zhang An and asked. .
Once the net is separated, the fish pond will become smaller, which means there will be fewer fish. This is the problem that Fatty is most concerned about.
"That's the frog pond there. It's separated to raise frogs. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."
When the fat man asked, Zhang An took him over to have a look. It happened to be He also wanted to tell Fatty about the stone pound.
"Hey, what kind of frog are you? It's bigger than a bullfrog."
As soon as the fat man came over, he clearly saw the stone scale in the frog pond.
Nowadays, bullfrogs have begun to be cultured and eaten in southern China. He is engaged in aquatic products, so he is no stranger to these.
“This is a stone frog. We call this thing a stone pound here, and some people call it a stone frog. It tastes much better than a bullfrog, and the bullfrog thing is from other places, and this stone pound But what about our native frogs?”
Zhang An said, reaching into the frog pond and grabbing a chubby one out.
“No, I have seen the stone frog before. Someone caught it before and wanted to sell it to me, but the thing only weighed about half a catty at most. It’s too big for you.”
It’s not that Fatty has never seen stone frogs before, but the frogs raised in Zhang An’s pond are different from the ones he has seen.
Then he picked up the stone pound that Zhang An handed him and took a closer look. He found that it was indeed similar, but it was too big, twice as big as the largest one he had ever seen.
“Maybe it’s because of the environment here. The water quality is too good, so they can grow bigger.”
When Zhang An said this, he felt a little guilty. He saw it in the mountains. The largest stone frog ever weighed only about eight taels more than half a catty, and I have never seen one weighing more than one catty.
The frogs in the frog pond have all been improved by space, and there are quite a few adult frogs weighing more than a pound.
For example, the one in the fat man's hand probably weighs about half a catty.
"That's right. It's really not surprising here. You have raised so many, so you are preparing to put them on the market."
The fat man thinks Zhang An is right. It makes sense, he has adapted to this place now.
"I just raised them casually before, but I accidentally caused so much. Lao Ding mentioned before that you should come and take a look, but you were busy with the wedding at that time, so we didn't bother you. Anyway, now you I also saw it. If it can be spread over there, I will take it away with the other fish. If it cannot be spread, I will find someone else."
Zhang An had never thought of raising stone pounds and selling them. , but I just spent a huge sum of money to buy a new car some time ago, and my family’s savings suddenly dropped sharply.
It’s all about money to build a man’s balls. Now that he has spent so much money, Zhang An is definitely not as bold as before.
It just so happens that these stone pounds are almost full now, and you can use them to restore health. Otherwise, Zhang An doesn't know when he will be able to recover from his confidence.
"Is there any way to open this place without paving it? You are too underestimated, buddy. There are bullfrogs in my place. You, the stone frog buddy, have it all covered, but you can try some at noon. Hello buddy. I'll give you a price."
The fat man is not stupid. He has been with Zhang An for a long time. If this guy says something is okay, it is definitely not bad, especially this piece of food.
So since Zhang An has spoken, he will definitely not miss these stone frogs.
But he needs to taste it for himself before he can decide on the price. After all, Zhang An thinks everything is good. If he gives it the price of ordinary goods, he will be embarrassed even if others don’t tell him.
Especially after seeing so many good things from Zhang An's family in the past two years, he simply did not believe that the stone frogs in Zhang Anyang's pond were ordinary.
Now the magnificent stone frogs in the frog pond have proven that they are extraordinary.
"I don't have enough time, so I can only do it casually. It's your fault. If you had called me before coming yesterday and told me that I would get up and make some preparations today, I wouldn't be able to have a hot pot meal at noon."< br>
Zhang An reached out to grab the stone pound in the frog pond, and turned around to complain about the fat man.
"Hey, buddy, it's been a long time since I've been here. I'm going to give you a surprise."
The fat man didn't care about Zhang An's complaints, and raised his eyebrows to make trouble with Zhang An. road.
"Go, go, go, only women need surprises. You and I are both rough guys, so don't say this to make it disgusting, brother."
Looking at the fat man's wretched look, Zhang An couldn't help but shudder, and quickly moved away from this guy with a disgusted expression on his face.
Why hadn't he noticed before that this guy looked so angry?
