Standing on the fishing boat and looking towards the shore, you can see several towering factory buildings crawling on the ground. They are like beasts, opening their mouths to swallow up the few fish and shrimps offshore. [Fengyun.com]
Wang Bo had nothing to say. Not only did the town government support the establishment of the factory, but most local people were also in favor of it. First, it could provide some jobs, and second, it would stimulate the development of surrounding industries such as accessories and catering industries.
But why did the factory come here? Isn’t it because of the convenience of dumping sewage? Just like why Li's Chemical wants to build a factory in Sunset Town, of course it is to facilitate the discharge of sewage into Twin Lakes.
Wang Bo is now the mayor of the town. He can refuse Li's Chemical's investment, but the leaders of the local town cannot. Because this town is not their private property, as long as they can make achievements in office in exchange for a better future.
As for thirty or fifty years from now? who cares! As for future generations? They don't care anymore because their descendants will not stay here!
Seeing that his son was depressed, Dad Bo laughed and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay. The sea is very wide. In fact, you can usually catch fish. Just drive farther into the sea. But it's too cold now." , we won’t go.”
Wang Bo knew that the reason why his father was unwilling to continue driving into the sea was not because of the cold weather, but because he was on the boat and his father was afraid of heavy winds and waves.
But after listening to his father's words, he had an idea in mind.
After going out to sea for half a day, the two cast a dozen nets in total. In the end, they only harvested about 40 dragonhead fish, 20 sea crucian carp, a dozen gargi fish, and a net of sardines.
As for relatively high-value marine fish such as small yellow croakers, there is no harvest. Of course, this is also related to the fact that yellow croakers migrate to the deep sea to overwinter in winter.
Looking at the two boxes of fish, Dad Bo sighed unconsciously.
Wang Bo looked at him, and he smiled again and said, "It's okay. If the weather is nice and tourists come, I can send them to your second master's fisherman's house to earn back the gas money."
For dinner, we had sardines stewed with frozen tofu. Wang Bo’s mother also fried dried clam meat with chili peppers and made stewed lamb chops. When putting away the meal, she said: "Lamb chops are tonic. Let’s try some foreign lamb chops." taste."
There is no doubt about this. The mutton Wang Bo brought back was freshly killed pasture-improved sheep. The quality of the meat was definitely not comparable to that of domestically farmed sheep.
Sure enough, after his parents tasted the mutton soup, they didn't eat the other two dishes after that. They kept eating the mutton chops. It was estimated that they stewed more than two kilograms of mutton chops, and they even ate the mutton soup together.
Wang Bo was eating clam meat and asked, "Mom and Dad, isn't this mutton good?"
Dad Bo nodded and said, "It's really delicious. How do you raise foreign sheep? Don't they all eat grass? This mutton is smooth and tender, with no odor. It just has the smell of meat. I've never tasted it before."
Wang Bodao: "What do you think, if this mutton sells for fifty yuan a pound here?"
Bo's mother immediately shook her head: "Fifty yuan a pound? You think so, who would be willing to eat this mutton?"
Dad Bo said: "If you put it in his second uncle's fisherman's house, it won't sell for fifty yuan? As for the bosses in the city, as long as it's delicious, they don't care about the price!"
After hearing this, Bo Ma nodded and said: "That's right, I should be able to sell it for fifty yuan."
While talking about mutton, the two discussed the price of vegetables and meat a year ago, complaining that the soaring prices made life difficult for the common people.
Wang Bo listened with a smile. To him, these were all nonsense, but he was still very happy to listen. His parents were even more happy to see him listening.
Another day, when he just got up, his mother said to him: "Put on some nicer clothes and go on a blind date today."
Well, the annual year-end blind date drama is about to begin again. Wang Bo said helplessly: "Not today, I have to go to Dabao's house to visit."
"Let's go on a blind date first. The girl in your Aunt Qiu's village seems to be your classmate. Her name is Qiu Tingting?"
Aunt Qiu is a well-known matchmaker in the town. She has married no less than fifty couples in the town, and she is very famous.
Wang Bo packed up some gifts and fled out of the house: "I have business today, not only meeting Dabao, but we will talk about the blind date in two days."
Bo's mother called him twice but there was no reply, so she had no choice but to give up.
When he came to the door, Zhong Dabao had just woken up and came out shuffling in slippers to greet him.
After seeing the large and small packages of gifts in his hand, the guy suddenly woke up, widened his eyes and said, "Oh shit, Lao Wang, you made money doing pyramid schemes abroad."
Wang Bo almost lost his temper. He went up and punched him and said: "Don't step on the horse and ruin my reputation. You bastard, if you don't talk nonsense, am I just like a rat in these three villages and five villages?"
Zhong Dabao giggled. His father came out and saw Wang Bo packing his things and asked him to sit down, saying that he would have a meal here anyway.
Wang Bo said hello to the two elders, and then said: "Uncle, I really can't eat here today. I'm looking for Dabao to do some business."
"Then let's get down to business first. You can take care of the food, which will save our family a meal!" Zhong Dabao said, patting his thigh.
Father Zhong shook his head helplessly: "Look, what are you talking about?"
After Wang Bo found Zhong Dabao, he took his van and drove directly to Haiqing City, the prefecture-level city where the village belongs.
The van was going fast along the way, and Zhong Dabao sang at the top of his lungs to the radio station, looking happy and joyful.
Wang Bo said: "Can you stop singing?"
Zhong Dabao said proudly: "I can't do it if I don't sing. People say I sing well and say that singers need money to sing. What I need from singing is more powerful than money."
He knew that this brother had no brains and didn't know what he meant by this, so he asked: "Then do you know what you want more powerfully than money?"
"What? Gold? Antiques?"
"Life, it's life! If you sing, you will get money, but if you sing, you will lose your life!"
Zhong Dabao said happily: "Yes, it's better to risk your life than money."
Then, he slowly thought about what was going on, and his mood suddenly became depressed, and he muttered: "Old Wang, my singing is hard to hear, isn't it?"
In fact, Wang Bo regretted what he said just now. Zhong Dabao is a bit immodest, but he is a good young man, kind-hearted and enthusiastic. His neighbors like him very much. If people say this, they are joking with him and point it out themselves. Not appropriate.
So he quickly said: "No, I'm just kidding. I'm jealous that you sing well."
Zhong Dabao suddenly became happy again. He laughed loudly and said: "Yes, I know you are jealous of my singing. Come on, the vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains... "
Wang Bo regretted it again, why was he so kind
