Chapter 173 There Is No Love without Reason
Who says foreigners are not kind and selfless?
There is no cat in the world that is not greedy for fish. All crows are black, and capitalist crows are especially black!
Mr. Sibeier does have world-class cooking skills, and his comments on food are very objective and have a good reputation.
But this does not mean that Sibeier lives in a vacuum and is completely ignorant of the ways of the world.
As one of the certified persons of Guinness Asia, Zhao Yun has inextricable connections with foreign countries, and has various titles on his head. There is no ordinary person in his family, so of course he knows Mr. Sibeier.
In order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, before doing this news, Su Ming first asked Zhao Yun to host Sibeier at Zhao Yun's house for a meal. The table was full of fish from Shuijun Lake.
Sibeier looked at the table full of fish and of course felt very strange. Zhao Yun explained that this was a fish raised by a friend of his using a "special method" and asked Mr. Sibeier to taste and identify it.
Therefore, the segment now being broadcasted in the Yangchuan Food Program had actually been "previewed" at Zhao Yun's house a few days ago. After eating these fish at Zhao Yun's place, Si Beier's surprise was exactly the same as on TV.
Of course, Mr. Si Beier's professional ethics are still very good. It was because he had eaten these fish before and approved of the taste of the fish that he agreed to help Zhao Yun, or to help Su Ming perform this play. If the taste of these fish itself was not good, or just so-so, Si Beier would not do such a self-destructive thing even if he had a friendship with Zhao Yun.
Su Ming originally wanted to give Si Beier a card or something, but later thought about it and decided to forget it. Foreigners' thinking mode is not the same as ours, and it might backfire. So he gave Si Beier his own business card. If Si Beier wanted to sell fish from him in the future, he could give her a 30% discount.
"Is this playing with public opinion?" Nangong Yan was also watching TV in the waterside pavilion, holding a pregnant cat, scratching the cat's ears, and asked with a smile.
"Can't you change to a healthy torment!"
Su Ming took the pregnant cat out of her arms and put it in the cat bed, then dragged a sleeping guy and put him in Nangong Yan's arms, and then said: "How can I say that this is playing with public opinion? At best, it's called a rehearsal! Don't your TV programs have rehearsals? And those reality shows, aren't they all arranged in advance and follow the script."
"You know all this?" Nangong Yan opened her eyes wide.
"The audience knows it all, you think they are stupid. It's nothing more than having fun. The stars act on stage, and the audience laughs below. Everyone knows it well and gets what they need. Good friends are those who see through it but don't say it."
Su Ming stood up, put on his coat and walked out: "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to Shuijun Lake to prepare fish. There are meals in the kitchen. If you are hungry, heat them up and eat them yourself."
"It sounds weird. There is no formal marriage or anything. How can it seem that life is going well?" Nangong Yan rolled her eyes.
Before this episode of the food show was broadcast, Su Ming had received a call from the supply manager of Yuleyuan, hoping to order a batch of fish from him. After the show was broadcast, several hotels and restaurants that Su Ming had delivered fish to before also called one after another, hoping to further cooperate and place orders for fish with Su Ming.
This requires large-scale fishing, and the small-scale fishing like last time will definitely not work. Just for the large orders from these hotels, the first batch will have to deliver more than ten tons. If the sales are good, deliveries will be made every week in the future.
Shuijun Lake has been half-closed. Half of the lake is blocked by floating objects to prevent cruise ships from coming. On the other half of the lake, there are several cruise ships temporarily converted into fishing boats, and a group of workers are sorting fishing nets on the shore.
Fishing is a technical job. Fishing nets are intricate and will get tangled together if you are not careful. If there are too many tangles, a net will be useless. There are also some rules for lowering the net after fishing. If you don’t have some skills, it is easy to hurt the fish. Even if the fish don’t die at the time, they won’t live long.
"Brother Su, do you want to play?" Liang Shi came over with a big net and asked Su Ming with a smile.
"Forget it, I can’t handle this thing well." Su Ming waved his hand quickly.
Su Ming also used fishing nets to catch fish when he was a child, but his hands were clumsy. He couldn’t handle a fishing net several meters long for a long time. In the end, it got tangled before it was put into the water. Later, he never touched the fishing net. Besides, it was better to lie down than to stand. It was better for workers to do this kind of physical work. He could just enjoy it on the shore.
Several boats started at the same time, dragging the nets from the shore to the other side of the lake. Large groups of water splashed on the lake. Wherever they passed, it was like boiling water, sparkling. The big and small fish were startled and ran around. This jump happened to be stuck to the surrounding nets, and some fish jumped out of the water in fear. From the lakeside, it looked like those fish jumped into the net on their own initiative.
Liang Shi had asked before whether to release some of the water in the Water Army Lake to facilitate fishing. But the Water Army Lake was too big, and the workload was too large to release the water. Su Ming was idle anyway, so he simply used his mental power to go deep into the lake, so that groups of fish living in the middle and lower reaches would actively swim to the surface and fall into the trap.
After half a year, the bighead catfish has grown to an exaggerated weight of more than ten kilograms. Although it is not as powerful as the more ferocious black fish, as Su Ming's direct subordinate, the bighead's intelligence is much higher than other fish, and it also has the power to "lead subordinates". All the alligator gar in the lake are currently under its command.
According to the standards given by Su Ming, the big-headed catfish and the alligator gar drove all the larger black fish to the other side of the lake to avoid being caught.
There was a purpose for leaving these big black fish. On the one hand, they were to give birth to small fish next year. On the other hand, the "food" of other fish in Shuijun Lake was mostly the feces of black fish. The big black fish were large in size, so of course their feces were thicker. Leaving them was only for large-scale feces production next year.
Although it is said that feeding fish with black fish feces is not unhygienic, but rather quite environmentally friendly, it is a very disgusting thing to think about, so Su Ming did not tell anyone except Liang Shi.
By the evening, they had caught nearly 20 tons of fish, which were divided into several batches and all delivered to major hotels. The next morning, Su Ming's cell phone kept ringing with text messages. He received several bank account arrival notifications, all of which were payment for the fish from major hotels. After Su Ming woke up and calculated the amount, it was about 290,000.
