After almost scanning South Street, Wang Bo bought countless seeds and poultry seedlings. He didn't total it, but the 100,000 yuan prepared in his backpack had almost been spent.

Zhong Dabao ate and drank milk tea while grilling sausages in his left hand. After walking around for a while, he asked strangely: "Old Wang, why did you buy these things?"

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

Zhong Dabao laughed and said, "Are you stupid? Are there no leeks, celery, green onions, and peppers abroad? Can you make money growing these abroad?"

Lao Wang glanced at the market and said nonchalantly: "Then what do you think we should plant?"

"Grow wild vegetables! Bitter greens, amaranth, bracken, Houttuynia cordata, alfalfa, yam, celery, wolfberry, etc. You have to grow this. Only by growing this can you create profits!" Zhong Dabao said matter-of-factly.

Wang Bo touched his chin. Hey, my buddy is right. He should grow some well-known wild vegetables in China. Maybe the market in New Zealand is not big, but it is good to eat them himself.

In this regard, he didn't expect that he would need the enlightenment of Zhong Dabao, who looked very good. He was immediately convinced and said, "Brother Bao is awesome. I admire your brain."

Zhong Dabao took a sip of milk tea and said disdainfully: "What's so admirable about this? 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 at the market, and there is not even a dedicated place to sell them in Haiqing City. After all, this is a seaport city.

But now Chinese people don’t need to go to physical stores to buy things. Some are online stores. They can place orders online and wait for them to be delivered by courier.

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, ranging from human consumption to medicinal uses. In total, he paid more than 100,000 yuan, and together he can More than 400 hectares are planted.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the express company has stopped operating. The seed company expects to deliver the seeds around the tenth day of the lunar month.

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

After buying some candies, firecrackers, meat and vegetables and other New Year goods at the market, the two of them strolled home slowly. He bought two copies of these new year's goods and asked Zhong Dabao to bring one back, and they helped him a lot.

The vegetable and fruit seeds were sent to the drying field behind the village. When no one was around, Wang Bo sent them to the basement of the castle's outer courtyard.

The chickens, ducks, geese, and piglets were even simpler. He stuffed them directly into the pasture.

Before returning to China, he bought a large number of chickens, ducks and goose seedlings in order to confuse people from noticing that he had brought poultry and livestock from his hometown.

If no one doubts, Wang Bo can make a lot of money just by working on the ranch. The price difference between New Zealand and China is too big. 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 cents. The currency is close to fifty yuan...

This feeling of doing business without tariffs is really refreshing.

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

When he arrived at the door of his house, he just opened the door, and a thick smoke choked him out. Then when he looked inside, he was startled. There was a crowd of people sitting in the living room, as if it was a meeting of the village committee.

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

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

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

Some younger people nodded and said: "Yes, New Zealand, you don't even know this place? There is a New Zealand Nets team in New Zealand in the United States. Carter played there. I always like Carter. Xiaobo, can you Can you ask me for his autograph?"

Wang Bo smiled reluctantly: "New Zealand is a country next to Australia. Is that New Jersey in the United States you are talking about?"

The people who came to his home were all fellow villagers, and the purpose of everyone's visit was very simple, which was to discuss with Bo's father and follow him on the boat trip during the New Year.

The Donghai Tornado is just a 300-horsepower fishing boat. It can accommodate ten people working at full capacity. However, if ten people go to sea, it will not be worth the gain. Generally, the standard configuration is six people.

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

The small sampan's ability to withstand wind and waves and its endurance are too poor to move to deep water, but the East China Sea Tornado has no problem.

In addition, the young generation in rural areas now either go to college outside and stay to work, or they work together 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 fifty years old. At this age, their physical functions have begun to decline. Without the protection of a suitable fishing boat, they dare not go into deep water to fight against the waves.

There are only three powerful fishing boats in the village, and they are all operated by regular families, who are also wealthy households in the village. To the villagers, the Donghai Tornado is not so much the fourth big ship as the fourth gold mine.

Bo's dad and Bo's mom were a bit embarrassed about choosing partners to go overseas. They planned to go overseas with six people, one for Bo's dad and one for Zhong Dabao. The other four were not easy to choose.

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

However, he could help his parents alleviate their worries and came forward and said: "Uncle, uncle and eldest brother, let's discuss the matter of going to sea slowly. The most important thing now is to eat. In this way, we can all come over tonight to play. I brought some seafood from New Zealand. If you don’t mind the meat, come and try it.”

Dad Bo smiled and puffed out his cigarette and said, "That's right, come over for dinner. Come to my place for catfish rice tonight."

Many rural areas in the mainland are particular about eating pig-killing rice at the end of the year, and in Wangjia Fishing Village, they have catfish rice. The so-called "catfish rice" is actually "fish rice every year", which is a good sign that there will be more than enough every year.

However, because of the homophonic pronunciation, it has now become catfish rice. Anyone who invites this meal will prepare a big catfish at the end. Generally, after a long meal, everyone will have leftovers of this big catfish no matter how delicious it is, which is exactly in line with the saying of 'more than enough every year'.

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

The snowflakes fell, and the sky and the earth soon turned white, making it look very cold. But Wang Bo's house was in full swing, and dozens of people slowly came to his house as guests.

Wang Bo called Zhong Dabao and asked him to come over and eat the catfish meal. To be honest, this guy really helps take care of his parents when he's not at home. Anyway, he owes them family affection.
