Chapter 358 Unexpected Situation
As for ways to make money, Li Fan had to think carefully. Now the hotel has been opened, and it seems to be developing well. It will definitely make less money in the future, but it is impossible to have a big income in the short term. Li Fan needs money now, a lot of money, to carry out other projects. , he had a lot of ideas, but he just didn’t have the money to start construction.
Li Fan was also thinking hard about how to deal with it.
"Tour guides can do it. When the tourism industry develops, it can bring about some surrounding industries." Li Fan thought about it carefully.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoman suddenly came over. She looked a little anxious, looked at Li Fan and said, "Li Fan, stop working, something happened to your fish pond."
"Something happened? What happened?" Li Fan was still thinking of ways to make money. When he heard that something happened to his fish pond, he immediately stood up. This was simply because the house leaked and it rained all night. The fish was raised in the fish pond. The eels are Li Fan's lifeblood, so we can't let anything happen to these treasures.
"I don't know either. It was Zhu Zhu who came here specifically to say it. He also heard it from his friends who were playing with him. He came to find you as soon as he heard it. You are in the kitchen now." Zhou Xiaoman waved to Li Fan. , wanting him to come over quickly.
At this time, Wang Erxi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up directly: "What happened to the eel fry in the fish pond? Then something must have happened to mine too?"
If something happened to this fish pond, it must have happened together. Wang Erxi thought that his own fish pond might not be spared either. Of course, he became anxious.
"I don't know about this. Li Fan, please go and take a look first." Zhou Xiaoman said.
"Okay, Brother Erxi, I'll take a look first. If it doesn't work, I'll find you again. Don't worry." Li Fan said to Wang Erxi.
Wang Erxi was also able to distinguish priorities. He knew that the hotel was busy using manpower this time, and he couldn't get away, so he simply stayed and let Li Fan figure it out by himself.
Anyway, it would be the same for two people if one person had to deal with the fish pond. If it didn't work, he could ask other people in the village to help. Wang Erxi could still trust Li Fan.
"Okay, you go ahead, leave this to me." Wang Erxi gritted his teeth and put on the plastic gloves again.
Li Fan took off his plastic gloves and followed Zhou Xiaoman out.
He met the pillar in the back kitchen, and they went out together.
"What's going on?" Li Fan asked.
"I don't know either. Huzi came to my house and said that many eels in the fish pond have died." Zhuzi said.
"Dead? How did he die?" Li Fan's expression changed. This was no small matter. He had to go and see for himself.
"Sister Xiaoman, we have to rely on you to come to this hotel. I can just go by myself." Li Fan said to Zhou Xiaoman.
"Okay, then be careful." Zhou Xiaoman nodded. Of course she was not joking at this time.
"Come on, Zhu Zhu, let's go quickly." Li Fan pulled Zhu Zhu over and trotted all the way to his fish pond in Laoshan Lake.
At this time, there were many people standing in front of the fish pond, and they all had expressions of pity on their faces. Xia Menglan stood on the shore and looked at the fish pond, frowning.
"What's wrong? Village Chief Xia?" Li Fan hurriedly approached and asked.
"Something happened. The eels in your fish pond were eaten by a group of water snakes who came from nowhere. These snakes are all large flower snakes with bright colors. They look venomous at first glance. No one dares to catch them." Xia Menglan looked at the fish pond and said worriedly.
Originally, the village could still hope to make some money from eel farming, which could be promoted in the future. Seeing that the village was about to become rich, it encountered such a setback, which made Xia Menglan's eyes well up with tears for a moment.
Not only was she distressed, she also felt that the future of Laoshantun was uncertain.
Is this good road going to be cut off like this?
Li Fan stood on the shore and took a closer look, and found that some snakes were obtained by him in the back mountain to prevent Gao DaZi last time. After knocking down Gao DaZi's people, he killed some, but some had already escaped. Unexpectedly, Today, his eels were harmed in this fish pond.
Li Fan felt a pain in his heart. These eels could be sold for a lot of money. It was a pity that they were eaten like this.
"Let me go down and touch this snake." Zhuzi volunteered. When he saw Li Fan's face looking unhappy, he knew that his chance to repay the favor had come, and he wanted to help Li Fan.
"No, some of these snakes are poisonous. You can't go down easily. Hiss, that's not right. Some of the snakes are water snakes." Li Fan squatted on the bank with a distressed look on his face.
"Why are there so many snakes here?"
"Didn't it rain heavily the day before yesterday? These water snakes must have been washed up, along with the venomous snakes on the mountain. No one dares to touch the venomous snakes when they are there." Several people standing on the shore said the villager.
Li Fan suddenly remembered that there was a heavy rain the day before yesterday. Maybe it was the rain that caused the bad thing.
Just when Li Fan was beating his chest and stamping his feet, he accidentally saw a huge flower snake. He had seen this flower snake before. He caught it from the back mountain. Now it has become so big. It is so big. Fully fifty percent larger than before.
Seeing this scene, Li Fan couldn't help but think deeply.
Did this snake grow so big by eating eels?
Does the fairy liquid also have an effect on snakes?
When he thought about these problems, Li Fan suddenly felt that this was not a bad thing.
Because he can totally raise snakes!
Snakes are full of treasures, and snake gallbladder is the most famous. It can be made into health care products or medicinal foods used in your own restaurant.
Snake meat should be used as a new dish, and snake skin has another function.
If the fairy liquid has an effect on such a creature that is full of treasures, that would be great.
Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but get excited.
If it were bred on a large scale and fed food cultivated with fairy liquid like eels, maybe the snake would become a treasure that would make him and the villagers of Laoshantun rich.
At this time, Li Fan's eyes widened.
Seeing this, Xia Menglan thought that Li Fan was very shocked, and quickly came up to comfort him: "It's okay, there are a lot of things we don't understand about breeding, but fortunately we didn't lose too much, and it's not too late to make amends, so it's not too bad. "
"Yes, it's raining heavily. There's nothing we can do about it." The villagers nearby looked at the state of the fish pond and said helplessly.
"Of course it's not a bad thing. Not only is it not a bad thing, it's also a good thing." Li Fan said excitedly.
"What?" Xia Menglan was surprised when she heard this. She wondered if Li Fan was stimulated.
"Are you stimulated?"
"No, I'm serious." Li Fan said happily. He felt that something had been solved. It was like God was blessing him.
"What's wrong, Fanzi?" The villagers standing on the bank also looked at Li Fan with concerned eyes.
"Everyone, come and take a look. Come and see if the snakes in the water are bigger than ordinary snakes?" Li Fan explained happily.
"Can this python not be big?" Some villagers didn't understand and couldn't figure it out after looking around.
But Xia Menglan was just stunned for a while, looking at the snake in the water and gradually understood some of Li Fan's thoughts.
"You don't mean that?" Xia Menglan was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's absolutely possible. This snake can also be treated like an eel. I'll do the experiment when I get back." Li Fan said happily. He was so excited that he wanted to laugh.
"You also want to breed this snake on a large scale?" Xia Menglan struggled.
"Of course." Li Fan said.
"That's right, girl, you can't underestimate this snake. It's full of treasures. People in the city may only know about snake gallbladder. Snake meat is more delicious than eel meat." A villager standing on the shore said.
"I still feel that I have to consider this matter. This is no small matter." Xia Menglan couldn't accept it for a while.
"I'll know if I go back and give it a try. It's okay. Think about it, there is no large-scale eel farming outside, and there is no large-scale snake farming outside. This is an opportunity for us. If snakes can cultivate the effect of eels, That’s awesome. Not only can this snake be used for cooking, but it can also be used as health care products. When the time comes, it will be sold together with some wild ginseng I planted. It will definitely fetch a good price. If it is promoted in the village, it will be a profitable business. Way." Li Fan said excitedly, and he became more and more excited as he thought about it.
After hearing this, Xia Menglan actually figured it out. She just couldn't accept snakes for the time being.
She couldn't help but ask: "These are some poisonous snakes."
"The poisonous snake is fine. Just pull out its fangs. Moreover, the poisonous snake's venom can sometimes be used as medicine." Li Fan said with a smile.
"Then go back and give it a try. If this snake is good, it's okay. It just needs to be protected and can't hurt anyone." Xia Menglan's face turned ugly for a while, then returned to normal. She is also a girl, and she definitely can't stand snakes like this. creature.
This was all something she endured.
"I'm leaving first. I can't see the snake and feel scared." Xia Menglan said softly, and then left: "Zhuzhu, will you come with me?"
"I, I'm waiting for my godfather." Zhu Zhu said.
"Godfather?" Xia Menglan glanced at Zhu Zhu and then at Li Fan.
"Zhuzi is my godson now." Li Fan explained with a smile.
Xia Menglan was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "That's a good thing."
After saying this, Xia Menglan squatted down again, touched Zhu Zhu's little head and said: "Your godfather is rich, if you want to eat anything, just ask him, he can take you to eat delicious food every time. "
"Giggle." Zhu Zhu smiled happily after hearing this.
"Zhuzi, follow your teacher Xia back first. You can't help me. There are poisonous snakes in the water. I will fish them out with a net later, and I will stew the water snake meat for you later," Li Fan said.
"Okay, let's eat the water snake. Then Teacher Xia will come to eat too, right?" Zhu Zhu said happily.
After hearing this, Xia Menglan almost lost her balance: "Me? Forget it, I have never eaten snake meat."
"It's okay, Zhuzi, don't hold onto your teacher Xia. She is from the city. There are many things in our village that she cannot accept. This is normal. But if you want to eat, you can't think about what it was like before, beef and snake meat. Actually, it’s almost the same.” Li Fan said.
"I'll try it in the future, but I definitely can't accept it now." Xia Menglan waved her hand, pulled the pillar and walked away as if running away.
