Weng Qian, who bravely said no, explained what it means to be a man like the wind.

He ran around the mountain for two and a half laps, and his face turned pale with exhaustion.

In the end, he couldn't run anymore, he bent his waist and supported his knees, panting like a bellows, even if the goose killed him, he didn't want to move anymore.

The goose didn't pick him up, but Lu Ao controlled him from behind.

When he stopped, Lu Ao went over and handed him a pot of water from behind, feeling a little bit embarrassed, "I never knew you could run so well."

Weng Qian was still panting, "Now, now, I can't do it now, I, I used to be a marathon runner—huh, where did the water come from?"

"Brother Chen's, don't worry, he hasn't drunk it."

Weng Qian's throat was so thirsty that it was about to smoke, and he was not polite to him. He raised his hand and gurgled and poured half a bottle of water, and then wiped his mouth, "Your geese are too scary. My previous dogs didn't have any. They are so fierce."

"Many geese are inherently fiercer than dogs."

"Speaking of which, the goose in your family is really special. I said that I have seen so many geese in my travels, but I have never seen this one in your family. Is this a large lion specially bred in a laboratory? Goose?"

"No, it's just an ordinary lion-headed goose. However, the Agricultural Research Institute will take some goose eggs from me every month for research, trying to breed a new breed similar to my goose."

Weng Qian went back with Lu Ao after drinking the water and resting enough.

Lao Chen's work was almost done, and seeing that they wanted to go back, he simply went back with them.

Lu Ao was carrying a big lion-headed goose in his hand, which was so heavy that it was quite heavy.

He originally estimated that a lion head goose weighs twenty or thirty catties, but now that he has it in his hand, he realizes that it weighs more than that, not to mention twenty or thirty catties, forty or fifty catties.

This weight is not as heavy as that of a pig, but it is not lighter than an ordinary lamb.

After taking the lion-headed goose back, Lu Ao slaughtered it himself, and then handed it over to Lao Chen and Weng Qian to shed its feathers.

This lion's head is too big to be eaten in one meal. Lu Ao divided it into two halves, and then divided one half into two halves again. The last quarter was chopped into pieces and stewed in red, and the quarter was put in a bag. Here, when Lao Chen goes back, take it back and let his wife taste it too.

Several people were busy all afternoon, and finally cleaned up the big lion-headed goose.

When it was time to cook, Lu Ao was afraid that the big goose would be too big and tasteless, so he specially marinated it with seasoning for two hours before cooking.

Lu Ao had told Song Zhou in advance that there was a guest coming today. I don't know if it was because of this, but when it was time for him to get off work in the afternoon, Lu Ao waited at home and did not see him coming home.

The lion's head in the pot has been stewed very fragrant.

The rich fragrance floated in the air, drifted across the courtyard wall, and permeated the surrounding area.

Fatty smelled this fragrance, and couldn't hold back his saliva for a long time. The dripping saliva completely soaked his chin. It was useless for him to stick out his tongue. Soon, a large piece of the floor under his mouth was wet, and his eyes were blindfolded. Staring at Lu Ao, don't mention how pitiful he is.

Weng Qian and Lao Chen couldn't sit still while watching TV and playing with their mobile phones, so they kept poking their heads out to watch.

They were embarrassed to urge Lu Ao to eat ahead of time, but they really wanted to eat, so they kept looking around unconsciously.

Lu Ao saw that the meat in the pot was almost stewed, and it was not good to keep the guests waiting any longer. He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Songzhou when the door creaked and was pushed open by Songzhou.

Lu Ao heaved a sigh of relief, hurried up to meet him, shook the phone in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "I just wanted to call you, why is it so late today?"

"I took a train back and was delayed for a while."

Weng Qian and Lao Chen heard voices in the room and hurried out to say hello.

Song Zhou smiled at them gently, and put the bag in his hand on the table, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Weng Qian and Lao Chen quickly said that they were fine, and they would not wait long.

Lu Ao brought out the dishes and said to Songzhou, "Wash your hands first, and you can eat right away."

Seeing this, Weng Qian and Lao Chen hurried over to help serve the dishes and set the table.

Soon, the table was full of dishes, and the aroma of various dishes wafted up, both Weng Qian and Lao Chen couldn't help swallowing.

The most eye-catching thing on the table is the large pot of stewed goose on the small stove in the center of the table.

The charcoal fire underneath is still burning, the big goose is bubbling and bubbling in the pot, and the onions, potatoes and other side dishes are also fragrant. All kinds of complex fragrances are mixed together, which makes people hungry and move their index fingers.

Lu Ao took out the wine and drinks, "Drink or eat first?"

"Eat and eat!" Weng Qian said quickly, "I smelled this fragrance, and I was hungry all afternoon, and I couldn't wait to taste it. Don't drink the wine, we have to talk about things later."

Lu Ao smiled, gave them the bowls, and asked everyone to serve their meals.

When Songzhou was serving rice, he helped Lu Ao serve a bowl and handed it to him.

At the table, everyone eagerly extended their chopsticks to the iron pot to stew the big goose, and Lu Ao was no exception.

The first piece he picked up was rinsed in the water, and then thrown to the fat man who had been standing by the table.Fat Pier stood up, raised his head, grabbed the piece of meat, lay down on the ground and concentrated on eating.

Lu Ao smiled and began to pick up the second piece.

This is the most complicated dish on the table, and it is also the hard dish that smells the most fragrant. When picking it up, the meat on the chopsticks was still steaming. .

The lion-headed geese they raise are almost semi-wild. For more than half a year, the geese have spent most of their time looking for food and playing outside. They eat healthy and mixed food, exercise enough, and their meat is very firm.

Lu Ao took a bite with his teeth, but he didn't bite off the meat, but only sucked some stewed goose soup.

This pot of goose has been stewed for more than two hours. The soup is very rich. When you sip it lightly, a delicious and slightly spicy meat aroma bursts out in your mouth.

The aroma of this meat is very complex and very fresh. It is different from the deliciousness of seafood and animal meat. It is a little richer than ordinary seafood and less greasy than animal meat.

All kinds of complex flavors blended together, and Lu Ao thought about it for a long time in his mind, but he couldn't think of any adjectives to describe the smell of lion head goose.

The same goes for Weng Qian, he is considered a half-time gourmet, his family runs a hotel, and he has eaten countless delicacies since he was a child, and someone invited him to taste the delicacies last month.

I dare not say that he is very good at eating, and his taste in food is not bad.

However, after eating this goose, he pondered in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what kind of evaluation he should give this goose.

After a long while, he gave Lu Ao a thumbs up, with infinite emotion in his eyes, and only two words in his mouth, "Definitely!"

Lu Ao also felt that only the word "absolutely" can describe this rare delicacy.

He tore at the goose meat with a big mouthful. The skin was slightly springy, and it was stewed. It could be torn off with a light tear. The meat was relatively strong, especially near the bone. You had to bite hard with your teeth to tear the meat off. Then the sense of accomplishment after tearing off the meat is not comparable to eating ordinary food.

At the beginning, everyone's movements were relatively gentle, and they all ate with chopsticks. After eating, Weng Qian and Lao Chen couldn't care less about their appearance, and they directly held the bones with their hands, tearing off the meat with ferocious faces.

Lu Ao didn't put too much chili, and the goose meat was not spicy at first. In the end, I don't know if the goose meat in the pot has been stewed for a long time or the spiciness has superimposed. Beads of sweat, his mouth was hot and red, while hissing and inhaling, he tried hard to stuff the goose meat into his mouth.

The taste of this goose meat is so rich that it must be eaten with rice to withstand such a delicious taste.

Lu Ao made a big pot of rice, which was originally prepared for himself, but he didn't eat much in the end, but Weng Qian and Lao Chen ate more of each other, and they had filled the rice five or six times.

At the end of the meal, Weng Qian's eyes were red hot, and there was a lot of bones and paper towels piled up next to him. While sniffling, he reached out to pick up the cold seaweed on the table.

He didn't know how Lu Ao's kelp was made. It tasted plump and refreshing, delicious and elastic. Ordinary kelp didn't have this taste at all.

There are several dishes on the table, except for the big goose in the pot, these seaweeds are the ones he likes the most.

Weng Qian took a deep breath and said, "Lu Ao, your skill is so good. I didn't know you had this skill before. If I had known you had this skill earlier, I would have come to find you for dinner."

"It's not that I'm good at cooking, it's just that the ingredients are special." Lu Ao said, "If you like it, eat more, and when you go back, you can take the remaining half of the goose back."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. This goose is really delicious. I will take it back and give it to my parents to taste, so that they can open their eyes."

Weng Qian ate from the bowl and looked at the pot. After talking, he felt that he only brought half a goose, which was not enough to eat.

He tentatively asked Lu Ao, "Do you want to sell your big geese, or sell me a few?"

Lu Ao directly refused, "I won't sell it. Professor Zhao asked me to sell a few geese for their research, but I didn't want to. When I raised them, I planned to only supply them to my family. I raised these geese very carefully, so I just sold them. .”

Even if you do research, you will not sell it, let alone sell it to them.

Weng Qian was a little surprised. The more he ate the goose, the more he found it delicious. He didn't give up, "That's why they paid less? Look at me, how about I pay you the price of yellowfin tuna for your goose?"

"It's not that bad, I don't need that little money."

"I'll pay you the price of foie gras?"

"No."

Weng Qian continued to increase the price, "[-] one?"

Lu Ao flatly refused, "My goose weighs thirty to forty catties, ten thousand ones, on average, it doesn't cost much per catty of meat, do you think I'll sell it?"

"That's [-] one." Weng Qian said distressedly, "This price is already very good. Think about it, if your geese can be sold at this price, what kind of fish do you contract for marine ranch? Sell every day The geese are so cost-effective, didn’t you say it yourself? Just let them out, and you don’t need to manage them.”

"Now I don't need to manage it much. When I was a child, I raised it carefully."

"Only two, sell me two more!" Seeing that he wanted to refuse, Weng Qian immediately said, "I was chased by geese for so long today, why don't you give me a chance for revenge."

Old Chen was stunned when he heard it, the chopsticks that picked up the goose meat turned around, and picked up some onions in the pot.

This goose meat is too expensive, he feels it is a pity to eat it, he should eat more onions, onions are cheap.

Lu Ao looked up at him, and said helplessly, "Don't worry about it, I won't sell it for any amount of money. I'll keep this goose for myself."

"You are too unselfish."

"What does this have to do with being ruthless? I can't get in at all." Lu Ao said, "At worst, I'll send you a few goose eggs, and you can hatch them yourself."

Weng Qian was regarded as his important partner, but it was just a few goose eggs, Lu Ao didn't feel bad about it.

He provided Professor Zhao with so many goose eggs, and he didn't miss a few from Weng Qian.

Weng Qian understood Lu Ao's character to some extent, and seeing what he said so firmly, he knew that no matter what he said, it wouldn't make sense.

Adhering to the spirit of not being a thief, Weng Qian said: "Then you give me some more! I will experiment more to see if the geese can really hatch, and maybe some experts will come to ask to study our geese. "

"If you have faith, you just try."

After Weng Qian finished talking about Lu Ao's geese, he took a fancy to his kelp, "Where did you buy your kelp? Did you produce it yourself? I think your kelp is also delicious, better than mine in the market." Those super-grade kelp bought online are much more delicious, almost can be used instead of MSG, fresh and rich."

Lu Ao said casually: "It's produced in the ocean ranch. Maybe the conditions here are good, or maybe it's fresh, and the taste will be more special. If you want it, I'll get you a bag later and take it back."

Weng Qian smiled, "Why don't you sell me some kelp too? Your marine ranch is so big, you have to produce something. I think your kelp is pretty good. If you want, we can sign a long-term supply contract."

Lu Ao couldn't be fooled, "Kelp doesn't have much money. This is the ration of sea cucumber and abalone. They have been fished out and sold. What do they eat? Do you want me to feed them every day?"

"Isn't it best to grow kelp? When you grow it, it's fine to have more varieties."

Weng Qian said: "As the first batch of products produced in your ocean ranch, I feel that kelp has great potential. If there are more, the price is actually quite good. For example, if you can supply it, we can also find a special food processing factory. Process seaweed into delicious food. You see, there are so many side dishes and sauces on the market, and there are also many seaweeds."

Lu Ao shook his head, "The ecology of every place follows certain rules, and there is only so much space. If I plant too much kelp, it may be more difficult to plant or breed other things. Besides, it's good to keep the current state .”

When Weng Qian saw that he was not happy with this, he was not happy with that, it was like money dropped on the ground and he was not willing to pick it up, he felt very regretful, but he also knew that he was not short of money, so it was hard to convince him, so he could only sigh .

After the meal, Lao Chen helped clear the table and left, while Weng Qian stayed to discuss the hotel with them.

After thinking about it all afternoon, Weng Qian thought over and over for a long time, and decided not to build a hotel.

This investment is too big, which violates his investment principles. Even if he doesn't earn this money, his hotel brand will be able to operate very well. If he earns this money, the risk will be much greater.

He doesn't feel worth it.

Lu Ao didn't expect him to object.

Song Zhou poured him tea, "Are you not interested in this project at all?"

Weng Qian smiled wryly, "I'm interested, but I'm not capable enough to take on this project. To tell you the truth, I'm just a part-time job now, even if I help the family. I'm not sure about convincing others about this project. , so I can only give up, and wait for a better cooperation project next time, and we will do it together."

Weng Qian knew that he wanted to build a hotel in the village, without Lu Ao's consent, it would definitely be difficult.

Lu Ao agreed to build a hotel on the island, but he can't do it here. The natural conditions and financial problems are very difficult to overcome. After thinking about it, he feels that this project must not work. Why don't we just stop here and forget it? .

He took a sip of tea, regret flashed across his eyes.

The issue of funds and risks is very difficult, which is nothing to Lu Ao and Song Zhou.

Lu Ao really wanted to build this hotel. They had lived here for so long, and Song Zhou went to work every day and didn't often appear in the village, which seemed very strange.

There are no rumors on the surface in the village, but there are not many people who gossip secretly.

Lu Ao didn't really want to continue living such a secretive life, or he didn't really want to live such a life for many years.

If a hotel can be built on a nearby island, if they get tired of living here, they can go to the hotel, and if they get tired of living in the hotel, they can come back and change back and forth. People in the village can’t find them It won't be strange anymore.

He originally thought about contracting the entire island by himself, but the country's current land policy is too tight. If they don't use special means and don't use it for business purposes, it is impossible for them to apply for the hotel.

At most, they can apply for the construction of supporting facilities for marine ranches, but there are express requirements for those sizes and specifications.

Even if they use special means, they can't be regarded as gods after all. Such a large building stands on the sea, as long as anyone passes by in a boat, they can see it. The coast guard and fishery administration are not vegetarians.

Lu Ao didn't want to cause trouble yet.

Lu Ao thought about it for a long time, and wanted to imitate foreign private islands and develop an island as a holiday island. If someone wants to rent this island, they can rent it out. If no one rents it, they can live by themselves .

Even if someone rents the island, they can still live on the island, as long as the rented area is separated from the area where they live.

Lu Ao has already made plans. The conditions of the selected island are very good, and the environment is relatively good. He is not afraid that the development will cause irreversible damage to the island or the nearby sea area.

Unexpectedly, Weng Qian retreated in the end.

Lu Ao also thought about it for a long time. Seeing Weng Qian's refusal, he put forward a second plan, "Either the island is developed and constructed by us, and you will provide corresponding hotel management personnel at that time?"

"Oh no," Weng Qian's eyes widened, "You mean you just want to develop this island, whether I join or not?"

"Correct."

"When the hotel is built, you don't care, and my people will come and take it over?"

"The hotel part." Lu Ao said, "It's best to stay with your hotel, and then we can talk about the distribution of the hotel's income."

"Why? You have already thought so well, why don't you build it yourself?"

Lu Ao said: "If we come forward, firstly, it will be more difficult in terms of approval, and the other is that it will be very troublesome to manage, and our new hotel will not be well-known, so it will be difficult to open up sales."

Lu Ao originally planned to have a linkage with the Ocean Ranch after the hotel was built.

At that time, not only rely on the products produced by the ocean ranch to make money, but also rely on the scenery to make money. Anyway, he and Song Zhou have no shortage of funds, and they can make as many large things as they want.

When they really want to link up, they can consider building an ocean tunnel or a sea park to make full use of this place.

Lu Ao showed Weng Qian the project proposal he had made briefly before.

Weng Qian looked at it for a while, in a trance, "Why do I feel that your project is almost the same with me and without me."

"It's far away, and we still sincerely hope that you can join this project." Lu Ao said, "You should think about it first. If you are interested, we will talk about it later. If you are not interested, we will It may be linked with other hotels."

Weng Qian kept his project proposal and couldn't help asking before going to bed, "Did you think about this project before I proposed to build a hotel?"

Lu Ao smiled, "It's about the same, but it's not that clear. I just had a rough idea before."

Lu Ao had thought about renovating the house left by his parents before living in it, but with so many memories at home, he really couldn't bear to completely erase the traces left by his parents.

If he didn't decorate it, he would still be reluctant to let Songzhou live with him in such a narrow and cramped house every day.

The best way is to build another house, but the village is so big, it seems that there is no need to build another house.

As for going to the city, his marine ranch is here, and his career is also here. He goes to the sea almost every day, interacts with marine life, and swims in the sea. It is simply unrealistic to live in the city.

After thinking about it, developing an island is the best solution at present.

There is a lot of rain in spring, and not a while after they finished talking, the rain began to rustle down.

Lu Ao generally does not control this kind of large rainfall. He occasionally controls summer showers. As long as the clouds are dispersed, it will not rain, but not in spring. There are too many clouds in the sky, piles of them, and he is simply too busy Come.

He actually likes the rain.

The sound of the rain was very regular, the weather was cool and humid, and it was very comfortable to breathe. Because of the rain, Lu Ao slept very deeply in Song Zhou's arms, so that when he was awakened by Song Zhou's movements in the middle of the night, he still couldn't recover.

With a nasal sound in his nose, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Song Zhou paused when he put on his shoes. He originally wanted to hide it, but finally told him the truth, "There is movement on the other side of the ocean. I'll go over and have a look."

Their place is not a famous bay or port. Logically speaking, there should be no movement in the sea at night.

Realizing something was wrong, Lu Ao woke up immediately. He sat up from the bed, stretched out his hand and wiped his face vigorously, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I'm going to have a look."

Lu Ao took his hand, picked up the clothes from the end of the bed, and said quickly, "Then I will go too."

It's not troublesome for them to go to the seaside, but the temperature is relatively low now, Song Zhou doesn't want Lu Ao to follow along at night.

When Lu Ao said this, he had already rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up. His gaze was very determined, and Song Zhou had nothing to do with him, so he had to stretch out his hand to signal him to hold his hand.

Song Zhou said: "That's okay, let's go and have a look, try to go back as early as possible."

Lu Ao yawned big, put on his clothes, and muttered, "It's a bit strange, why is there still movement at night? Could it be a thief?"
