Chapter 103 102. Niannian Catfish Rice

After sweeping South Street almost all over, Wang Bo bought countless seeds and poultry seedlings. He didn't count them up, but the 100,000 RMB in his backpack was almost spent.

Zhong Dabao ate and drank the roasted sausage with his left hand and the milk tea with his right hand. After wandering around, he asked strangely, "Old Wang, why are you buying these things?"

Wang Bo simply replied: "I have a piece of land abroad, and I want to engage in farming and vegetable cultivation."

Zhong Dabao laughed and said, "Are you stupid? Are there no leeks, celery, green onions and peppers in foreign countries? Can you make money by growing them abroad?"

Lao Wang glanced at the market and said nonchalantly, "Then what do you think should be planted?"

"Grow wild vegetables! Bitter cabbage, amaranth, bracken, houttuynia, alfalfa, yam, celery, wolfberry, etc. You have to grow this, and only by growing this can you make a profit!" Zhong Dabao said as a matter of course.

Wang Bo rubbed his chin, hey, buddy is right, he should grow some well-known domestic wild vegetables, maybe the market in New Zealand is not big, but it’s good to eat by yourself.

In this regard, he didn't expect that he still needed the enlightenment from Zhong Dabao, who looked so stupid, he was immediately convinced, and cupped his hands and said: "Brother Bao is amazing, brother admires your brain."

Zhong Dabao took a sip of milk tea and said disdainfully: "What's so admirable? If you watch the agricultural channel of CCTV, you will know that everyone is growing wild vegetables now."

Wang Bo: "..."

Wild vegetable seeds cannot be bought in the market, and there is not even a special place to sell them in Haiqing City, after all, this is a seaport city.

But now Chinese people don’t need to go to a physical store to buy things. Some of them are online stores, and they can just place an order online and wait for the express delivery.

Wang Bo found the largest and most formal seed company on the Internet and bought a large number of wild vegetable seeds. There are more than 80 kinds of wild vegetables in total. More than 400 hectares were planted.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the courier company has ceased operations, and the seed company expects to deliver it around the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Wang Bo is not in a hurry, he can deliver it before he returns to New Zealand.

They bought some new year's goods such as candy, firecrackers, meat and vegetables at the market, and the two walked slowly back home. He bought two copies of these New Year's goods, and asked Zhong Dabao to bring back one, and he did a lot of help for him.

Vegetable and fruit seeds were sent to the drying yard behind the village, and while there was no one there, Wang Bo sent them together to the basement of the castle's outer court.

Chickens, ducks, geese, and piglets were simpler, and he stuffed them directly into the pasture.

Before returning to China, he bought a large number of chickens, ducks and goose seedlings. The purpose was to confuse the public and make it impossible for people to realize that he had brought poultry and livestock from his hometown.

If no one doubts, Wang Bo can earn money just by ranching. The price difference between New Zealand and China is too great. A chicken chick costs a few cents in his hometown, but after being raised on a ranch and sold in New Zealand, it costs ten New Zealand dollars. The currency is close to 50 RMB...

This feeling of avoiding tariffs and doing business is really cool.

Back in the village, people kept greeting him warmly on the road, and Wang Bo responded politely.

When he arrived at the door, he just opened the door, and he was choked out by a thick smoke, and then he was shocked when he looked inside. There was a crowd of people sitting in the living room, like a village committee meeting.

Seeing him enter the door, someone asked, "Xiao Bo is back? By the way, you went to Nutrilite when you went abroad, right?"

After hearing this, someone laughed and retorted: "I'm uneducated, Nutrilite sells health care products, and Xiaobo went to Newfoundland, right?"

"No, it's New Zealand, also called New Zealand." Wang Bo explained with a wry smile.

A younger person nodded and said: "Yes, New Zealand, you don't even know this place? In New Zealand, the United States, there is a New Zealand Nets team in the NBA. Carter played there. I always like Carter. Xiaobo, can you Want me to ask him for an autograph?"

Wang Bo smiled reluctantly: "New Zealand is a country next to Australia. You mean the state of New Jersey in the United States, right?"

All the people who came to his house were fellow villagers from the village, and the purpose of everyone's visit was very simple, that is to discuss with Bo Dae, and to run the boat with him in the new year.

The Donghai Cyclone is just a 300-horsepower fishing boat, which can accommodate ten people to work at full capacity, but if ten people go to sea, the gain is not worth the loss. Generally, the standard configuration is six people.

When these people in the village found Bo Dae, they wanted to be one of the six people, because now there is really nothing to gain in the ten kilometers offshore area that small sampans can set foot in, and they have to rely on big boats to fish in deep water.

Small sampans have poor wind and wave resistance and endurance, so they dare not move to deep water areas, but the Donghai Cyclone is fine.

In addition, the young generation in rural areas now either go to college outside and then stay to work, or partner to work in the city. In short, almost all young people have left the countryside.

The people left in Wangjia Fishing Village are mainly middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 50. At this age, their physical functions have begun to decline. Without a suitable fishing boat to protect them, they dare not go into deep water to fight against the waves.

There are no more than three horse-powered fishing boats in the village, all of which are operated by regular households, who are also wealthy households in the village. For the villagers, Donghai Tornado is not so much the fourth big ship as the fourth gold mine.

Bo Dad and Bo Mom are a bit embarrassed about choosing a partner to go to sea. They plan to go to sea with six people, one Bo Dad, one Zhong Dabao, and the other four are not very easy to choose.

Wang Bo doesn't care about this, because he knows that for his parents, this is a happy trouble.

But he can help his parents relieve their troubles, and he came forward and said: "Uncle, uncle, and elder brother, let's discuss the matter of going to sea slowly. The important thing now is to eat. In this way, we will all come to play tonight. I brought some seafood from New Zealand Meat, if you don’t mind it, come and taste it.”

Dad Bo smiled and smoked a cigarette and said: "Yes, come over to eat, and eat catfish rice at my place tonight."

Many rural villages in the mainland pay attention to eating pig rice at the end of the year, while catfish rice is served in Wangjia Fishing Village. The so-called 'catfish rice' is actually 'nian fish rice', which is a good sign of surplus every year.

However, because of the homonym, it has now become catfish rice. Whoever invites you to eat this meal will prepare a big catfish at the end. Generally enough to eat and drink, no matter how delicious this big catfish is, everyone will have leftovers, just in line with the saying of "surplus every year".

The weather today is not good. It has been cloudy since the morning, and snowflakes began to fall around two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was even more cloudy in the evening.

The snowflakes fell down, and soon the sky and the earth became white, and it looked very cold. But Wang Bo's house was in full swing, and dozens of people slowly came to visit his house.

Wang Bo called Zhong Dabao and asked him to come over to eat the catfish meal. To be honest, he is not at home, and his parents are really taken care of by this buddy. Anyway, he owes him a favor.
