After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

Lu Ao’s hometown always rains during the Dragon Boat Festival, and when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, it will be misty and rainy.

The Dragon Boat Festival is still to be celebrated. Lu Ao and Song Zhou lived together during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, but their relationship has not been confirmed yet. The relationship between the two was still a little stiff at that time.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival is the first Dragon Boat Festival that the two have spent together, so we still have to celebrate.

This afternoon, when Lu Ao was tending vegetables in the vegetable garden, a Lingong merchant came over on his motorcycle, stopped far away on the road, and shouted at Lu Ao who was busy with his head down: "Lu Ao, tomorrow we will kill pigs, do you want to kill pigs?" Come?"

"What pig to kill?" Lu Ao straightened up, turned to face him, a little surprised, "Isn't it the end of the Chinese New Year, and there are still pigs to kill?"

"Of course there is. Look at what you said. When will there be no pigs to kill? Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival? We plan to kill a big fat pig for the festival, and make up for it."

During this period of time, Lu Ao no longer used spear guns to dive and fish, but Lin Gongshang and the others still made a living from it.

In spring, there are plenty of fish and the weather is good. It is a good time for fishing. A few people stay under water all day long and lose weight. This is also the time to take a good tonic.

Lu Ao asked a few words, and he knew that the pig to be killed was bought by Lin Gongshang, Lin Guixiao, and Tan Junhao in partnership. The live pig cost 15 yuan a catty, but when he settled down, he found out that the whole pig was more than 180 catties, and it cost more than 700. dollars.

Three people work together, and it costs more than 900 yuan to share with each person. Even if it is a holiday, this expenditure is too extravagant.

They plan to hire a pig butcher to slaughter the pig tomorrow, and only keep half of it for the three of them, and sell the other half to get blood back. It would be better if they can earn a little bit.

Among them, Lu Ao was the richest, and he was not stingy about food. When he mentioned this, Lin Gongshang naturally thought of him.

Lu Ao agreed as he expected, "Okay, leave me a copy then."

"How much do you want?"

"Twenty catties is enough, leave me two extra ribs." Lu Ao didn't pay too much attention to the pork, he asked, "What kind of fish can you catch recently?"

"That's not even those—at most golden drum fish and black snapper. I can't say anything about the others. I caught a dragon grouper this morning and got more than 300 yuan. What, why are you asking this?"

"Ask if you have caught any good things, find some fish for the festival."

"It's not that you don't know the situation on our side. There are only a few places suitable for fishing. You should know better than me where there are fish."

This is true.

Lu Ao asked, "Didn't you see any new species of fish this year?"

"No, it's still those. The dolphins and killer whales in your ocean ranch are the most frequently seen new species, but we can't hunt those." Lingon said, "If you want to eat any new fish species, you have to Go to the outer sea, it's too closed here, and you can't find any good things."

Lu Ao thought for a while, "Alright, I'll go out to sea in the afternoon, put down the fishing net, and see if I can catch anything good."

"Which sea area are you going to?" Lingong merchant immediately asked, "I told them in the morning that the water outside is too muddy. I'm afraid I won't be able to go fishing this afternoon. I have to think of another way."

Lu Ao said: "I'm not sure. Go forward from my island and get off the net when you see a suitable place. Do you want to go with me?"

Lin Gongshang hesitated when he heard the words, "Isn't the water depth on the island you chartered relatively deep? There are no fish there?"

"I don't know for sure. If I really can't catch the net, I can catch a few."

The nets they use now are all floating nets, they will not be dragged to the bottom of the sea, and it doesn’t matter much whether the water is deep or shallow. The only thing to pay attention to is to look at the ocean current and wind direction. Only when the ocean current and direction are right will there be fish. The wind direction and ocean current If not, you may go home empty-handed.

Lin Gongshang felt that it was too unreliable to go fishing there. Their ancestors lived here for generations, and no one would go there when they wanted to fish.

Even with Lu Ao's good luck bonus, Lin Gongshang is not very confident about it.

Lin Gongshang hesitated for a while, and said: "Forget it, you should go fishing there by yourself. I don't think you can catch any fish there, so I won't go there to join in the fun."

"It should be okay. I observed it. There are quite a lot of fish over there. I think the dolphins in my ranch like to swim over there to see if they can catch some fish on the way."

"How can humans compare with dolphins? Dolphins live in the sea. In the past, it was as natural and handy as in their home. We don't have fins, so we can't go into the sea at all, and we can't catch anything."

Lu Ao didn't care too much about whether he could catch any fish. If he really couldn't catch any fish, besides being able to fish, he could also directly transform into a dragon shape and go into the sea to catch some fish.

However, this method is indeed not a conventional method, and it cannot be used by Lingong merchants, so Lu Ao refused to persuade him.

The two are separate.

When Lin Gongshang came home on his motorcycle, he recalled the scene of talking with Lu Ao just now, and Bei Er felt that his friend was less and less like the people in the fishing village. Everyone catches fish for a living. Catching fish is purely for fun.

Can't compare.

Lu Ao originally wanted to go alone, but when he returned home, Lin Qiyan came to deliver the rice dumplings.

Lin Qiyan was carrying a big basket, "My grandma made it by picking bamboo leaves from the mountains. It tastes good. There are fresh meat and red beans. Try it."

Lu Ao took a look at the basket he was holding in his hand. There were at least thirty or forty rice dumplings in the basket.

"You have too many zongzi, how can the two of us finish them?"

"It's okay, if you can't finish eating, you can put it in the refrigerator. It's okay to freeze it for a few more days for breakfast, and the taste won't change much." Lin Qiyan smiled, "My grandma is afraid that you won't be enough if you take less, Just ask me to bring back a few more. The old man has a heart, so you can keep it."

Lu Ao had no choice but to accept the zongzi, and put a few goose eggs and a pack of bacon in the basket as a gift in return.

Lin Qiyan brought back the basket but didn't go back right away. He looked at the yard of Lu Ao's house and asked curiously, "I see that you didn't pick zong leaves this year, so are you planning to make zongzi? How are you going to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival this year?"

"It's just common. Just make more meat dishes, we don't like eating zongzi very much."

Lu Ao received rice dumplings from neighboring villages last year. One family gave some to the other. In the end, there was a whole basket of rice dumplings, not to mention that Songzhou and the others also had rice dumplings to take back.

He and Song Zhou can't eat much, and it's a waste of time to pack any more.

Lu Ao said: "I won't pack the zongzi. I'll go to release the net this afternoon to see if I can catch any fish, and make a few more fish to eat."

Lin Qiyan asked: "Where are you going to release the net? Do you go alone? Do you need help?"

"You want to come and help?"

Lin Qiyan volunteered, "Anything is fine. Anyway, I don't have much to do at home. Now that work is over, I'm free all day long."

Lu Ao now goes to the ocean ranch every day, and there are many opportunities to have fun in the ocean. It would be boring to go fishing alone. He thought about it and decided to take Lin Qiyan with him.

"Then you go with me. I'll go a little outside to see if I can catch any interesting fish. I'll treat it as a holiday meal."

"According to your luck, you have said such a thing, and you will definitely catch the fish you want today."

Lu Ao doesn't actually have a goal, but it is true that whenever he wants to order a special fish meal, he can always get a surprise.Lu Ao had a simple lunch and took a nap. In the afternoon, he and Lin Qiyan went to the sea to release floating nets.

The net will be left overnight at sea, and will not be retrieved until tomorrow morning.

If the time is not enough, the fish has not hit the net, and the harvest is generally not good, but if the time is too long, the fish will hit the net too early, and the fish will be entangled for too long, and they will not be able to eat if they die .

Every time you go to release the net, you will control the time so as not to waste things.

Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan made an appointment to go out to collect the net at six o'clock the next morning.

Lin Qiyan felt drowsy at the thought of getting up so early, he yawned and said, "That's fine, then I'll bring a camera tomorrow to see if I can capture the morning glow and save some material."

Seeing him like this, Lu Ao said casually, "You are earning a lot of money now. If you are too busy, you can ask an assistant to help. Life will be much easier with an assistant."

"Let's talk about money, who else in the entire county is richer than you? Didn't you hire assistants and do everything yourself?"

"We are different, our situation is special."

Hearing what he said, Lin Qiyan's ears pricked up, and he immediately showed an expression of listening attentively.

Lu Ao glanced at him, shook his head but did not continue.

Lin Qiyan was already ready to gossip, but when he saw that he didn't speak, he felt a little disappointed, so he had to change the topic.

He looked around and asked, "I think your life is perfect now. You have houses, land, mountains, seas, and money. What are you going to do next? Is it time to raise a child?"

Regardless of whether it is a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, after reaching the family stage, they will generally seek to raise a child or something.

Lin Qiyan sees that everyone in the circle is doing that, and the origin of the children is also varied, some are adopted, some are fostered, and some are surrogate... Same-sex couples are often more insecure than heterosexual couples, and they will pursue something to maintain themselves family.

Lu Ao hadn't thought about this at all, and he was taken aback when he heard this.

"Let's talk about it, our current two-person world is not enough, we don't pursue children."

"That's right." Lin Qiyan said, "I saw a friend and his lover adopt a little girl last week. It felt very warm. I thought you guys had the same plan."

"Would it be inconvenient to adopt a little girl?"

"Fortunately, living together since childhood will not cause too much inconvenience. The inconvenience can still be overcome. The main thing is to have love."

Lu Ao had to admit that when he heard the news, his heart was twitched.

But he soon realized that they were not suitable for adopting a child like ordinary families.

He and Song Zhou are not human beings. If they adopt human children, it will be very troublesome in the future. As for non-human children, Lu Ao has not thought about it yet.

"Let's talk about it later." Lu Ao said, "We haven't considered this matter."

Lin Qiyan sighed, "I want to adopt a child, but unfortunately I don't meet the requirements."

"Huh?" Looking at his expression, Lu Ao didn't really see that he wanted to adopt a child.

"As I get older, I always feel a little lonely around me. It's good to have a child to worry about." Lin Qiyan said, "Don't talk anymore, I'll go back first, and come tomorrow morning to collect the net with you .”

At night, Lu Ao kept thinking about this matter in his mind.

When he was lying on the bed with Song Zhou, Lu Ao leaned on his arm and suddenly asked, "Song Zhou, what do you think about adoption?"

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Song Zhou looked down at him and rubbed his chin against his hair, "I never thought about it before, did someone tell you something, or did you see something, and wanted to raise a child? "

"I didn't want to raise a child, but Lin Qiyan mentioned it to me this afternoon, and wanted to ask you if you have any thoughts on adopting a child."

"No, never." Song Zhou answered with certainty, "If you want to adopt a child, we can work out a solution together."

Lu Ao was curious, "Are there any other non-humans who will adopt children? In our situation, if we want to adopt children, can we only adopt non-human children? Otherwise, in our situation, human children will come to our family sooner or later. You will find that there are all kinds of mistakes.”

"I didn't think about it before, but there are indeed cases of non-humans adopting children." Songzhou said, "The times are different. Whether you adopt a human child or a non-human child, if you explain it to them, there will be no big problem."

Lu Ao let out a "hmm".

Song Zhou hugged him and said thoughtfully, "You mentioned adopting a child, and I remembered something."

"what?"

"Did I say before that you are the last dragon on this plane?"

"Yes, and then?" Lu Ao wondered, "Isn't it actually?"

"That's not true. You are indeed the last dragon in this plane, but besides you, there are some dragon eggs buried in the sea. If you can find them and hatch them, it may also bring you new members of the same race."

After Lu Ao heard the news, he remained silent for a long time.

Song Zhou bowed his head and kissed his hair, hugged him a little tighter, and asked, "What are you thinking? Why is your expression not right?"

"I don't know why, but it suddenly occurred to me that there might be a divine will somewhere?" Lu Ao hesitated, "It's just that there may still be living dragon eggs in this world."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I just suddenly thought of the meaning of my rebirth, and I always felt that something was wrong." Lu Ao raised his head, looked at him face to face, and said, "My rebirth seemed to go too smoothly, but in fact, I was not a special person at that time, so I was Rush into the sea, and then wake up on a little dragon."

"This luck is so good, so many people die every day, why is it me and not others?" He lowered his voice when he said this, "Nothing happens for no reason, I always feel that my rebirth is very strange. When discussing this topic today, I suddenly thought—you said that the Dragon Clan gave me a chance to be reborn, so is it because I was reborn to help them raise their children?"

Song Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he stroked his hair for a long time, feeling that there was such a possibility.

Lu Ao was connected with him, and he knew that he actually agreed with this point of view without saying a word.

"If this is the case, it makes sense why I was reborn." Lu Ao said, "Maybe the original dragon clan sensed something and left this opportunity behind?"

"Not necessarily. No one can tell such a thing. I haven't heard any related legends." Songzhou said, "Don't worry, I will go back to the institution tomorrow to check. The biggest possibility is that you hit it by mistake. Waking up from the dragon is just a coincidence."

Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the subject, "Which sea area are you talking about the dragon egg? Aren't we going to the North Pole this time? If we pass by on the way and can see it, let's go down and have a look?"

Song Zhou said: "It's near the North Pole, in that fragmented island."

"It feels like it's been arranged in the dark." Lu Ao said, "It's so strange, as if we will definitely have a child in the near future."

"Not necessarily. The sea is so big, and the dragon egg is in it. It's not much different from finding a needle in a haystack. Even if you do find the dragon egg, do you want a child?"

Lu Ao really didn't think about this issue before. Ever since he knew that he was gay, he never thought about children. He couldn't have children, and it was impossible for him to cheat marriage.

He didn't even think about adoption.

He originally wanted to live his whole life alone.Hearing Song Zhou's question, he was silent for a while, and finally said, "I think it's acceptable."

Song Zhou hugged him, "Even if there may be another dragon in this world, we don't have to raise it. There is a special branch in the abnormal personnel supervision agency that can raise this kind of child. When the time comes, we will bring him back and hand it over to the agency." Just here."

"An organization similar to a welfare home?"

"No." Song Zhou said, "Generally speaking, there are not many animals that form partners in the traditional monogamous way to raise their next generation. Most non-humans still prefer to raise the next generation with the whole group. Abnormal personnel The regulatory agency somewhat imitates the model of an entire ethnic group nurturing the next generation, which is normal and different from the orphanage."

Lu Ao understood a little bit, but he was still worried.

He and Song Zhou discussed the child's psychological problems.

The two leaned together and talked for a long time.

It was Song Zhou who came to his senses first, and said with a smile, "It's not so easy to find dragon eggs in the vast sea. Let's talk about it when we really find it and can hatch baby dragons. There's no point in discussing it now."

Lu Ao also came to his senses, yawned and slipped into Song Zhou's arms, "That's right, go to sleep now."

Because the discussion was too late yesterday, Lu Ao was still sleepy when he woke up the next day.

Song Zhou pinched his chin, leaned over to kiss him, and said, "If you're still sleepy, it doesn't matter if you wake up later, your fishing net is right there, and you can't lose it."

Lu Ao was a little moved, but still refused, "I made an appointment with Lin Qiyan, forget it, and sleep in the cage when I come back."

After Lu Ao yawned and washed up, he simply ate some breakfast and set off.

Lin Qiyan rushed from Lin Family Village to the reef outside. As soon as they met, he said, "I don't know what fish we can catch today. If you catch some rare fish, can you sell me two? The Dragon Boat Festival is here, and I ordered a lottery." The gift hasn’t been finished yet, and the shopkeeper told me last night that I was wondering what to replace it with.”

Lu Ao suggested sincerely, "Fishing depends on luck, and you may not be able to catch any special fish. If you really need it, you might as well go to the market to have a look."

"I don't know about others. If you say it, going to sea will definitely gain something." Lin Qiyan came over with a smile and pushed him onto the boat, "Let's go, let's go to sea first, and when we pull up the net, we will know what rare fish we can catch today Yes, I feel that I will be able to hit the big guy today."

Lin Qiyan's hunch was always accurate.

However, when the fishing net was really pulled up, he saw the weird fish in the fishing net, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "I wish to cherish a little fish, and I don't want ugly and weird fish."

He pointed his phone at the fish he had just caught and started shooting.

This kind of fish looks like a lump of brown jelly, or it is a bit like the rubber ball that everyone used to play to vent. It is light brown in color, with a big mouth and big eyes. The whole body is a bit translucent, and the teeth are sharp and sharp. Li, it's strangely ugly.

Lu Ao glanced at it, not as disgusted as he was, "Anglefish, the taste is not bad, it's enough for the Dragon Boat Festival."

"This is a deep-sea fish, right? Why did it appear in our net? If this thing is taken ashore, won't it explode and die soon due to the pressure?"

"That's not enough." Lu Ao said, "If you want it, I won't give it to you. There is only one fish in the fishing net. We haven't eaten anglerfish for a long time. Today we will take it home and try it."

"Okay." Lin Qiyan originally disliked the anglerfish, but now he heard that Lu Ao would not sell it, and felt a little disappointed. He raised three fingers and only used two fingers to play with the anglerfish, watching. He said, "This anglerfish looks really ugly, what kind of weird bumps are there all over the body?"

Lu Ao looked at his movements and said, "The one you pinched is a male anglerfish."

"Huh?" Lin Qiyan's eyes widened, "I remembered, is this the genital fish? That is, when a male anglerfish meets a female anglerfish, it will bite its abdomen or side, and then its lips will connect with the female's skin. Together, slowly, apart from the testes, other organs of the male fish will stop developing, and eventually the male fish will live to become the genitals of the female fish."

Lu Ao nodded, "That's almost what it means."

"A female anglerfish can host several male anglerfish, right?" Lin Qiyan looked at the anglerfish under his hand with disgust in his eyes. He retracted his fingers, not wanting to touch this fish at all, "I feel that this kind of fish is more Strange, I have no desire to eat it at all."

Lu Ao was speechless.

Lin Qiyan pondered, "But speaking of it, it's quite appropriate to use this anglerfish to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Don't you talk about Dragon Boat Festival Ankang? Eating anglerfish on Ankang Festival is perfect!"

"You're interested in it again now?"

"No, no, I'm just talking casually. You should leave this kind of thing to yourselves. I don't want it now, and I don't want to give it to my fans. It feels too strange."

Lin Qiyan shook, took the anglerfish back into the living cabin, and suddenly remembered, "By the way, are you going to travel after a while? I heard that you are going to the North Pole, right? How did you go to the North Pole? Are you going there by yourself? Or with some organization or team?"

"Form a fleet to go there." Lu Ao replied, "I haven't gone out much after being with Song Zhou, and I want to take a honeymoon trip with him this time."
