Everyone came to Zhou Bin's house, and Zhou Bin and Li Nan cooked themselves and made a table full of farm dishes for everyone.

Everyone enjoyed the meal with great relish and praised Zhou Bin and Li Nan for their excellent cooking skills.

After dinner, Zhou Bin and his family accompanied everyone to the car, and only went home after they left.

Ah Niu happened to be walking by, and he immediately called out to Zhou Bin out of curiosity: "Brother, who are those people? They're driving a car."

Zhou Bin smiled and told him the whole story. Ah Niu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I think I've seen the kind of fish you're talking about in the ditch."

Zhou Bin immediately asked, "Really? Where did you meet him?"

Ah Niu said, "It was in the pool in the ditch. I seemed to have seen it when I went to catch crabs. I didn't know anything about it at the time, so I ignored it."

"Oh, Aniu, you've helped us a lot!" Zhou Bin excitedly took out a cigarette and gave one to Aniu.

Ah Niu smoked a cigarette and left happily.

Zhou Bin also knew about the pond, and he planned to go there tomorrow to take a look.

The next day, after breakfast, Hou Tianhai brought Professor Lin and others over.

Zhou Bin hurriedly led everyone to the ditch. On the way, he told Professor Lin that there might be mullets in that pond.

Professor Lin was very excited when he heard this: "Really? That's great! I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night last night!"

A group of people walked down the rugged mountain road to the bottom of the ditch, then passed through the woods and finally came to the pool.

There is green grass and blooming wild flowers here, and it is full of vitality.

Surrounded by green grass, a rippling pond appears before everyone.

Everyone was excited and rushed to the pool.

I saw that the pool was not too big, but it looked very deep, and there were some rocks around it.

As soon as Professor Lin arrived in front of the pond, he immediately stopped and signaled everyone to keep the noise down.

Everyone stopped talking and followed his gaze, only to find a school of fish swimming in the pond.

After a closer look, everyone was shocked to find that these were actually mullets.

Professor Lin stared into the water and found that there were more than ten fish in the group.

Among them, there are four or five big fish and some small fish, swimming happily in the pond.

Professor Lin quickly picked up the camera, adjusted the position, and started taking pictures.

The fish were startled by the flash and sank into the water, disappearing.

Professor Lin then said excitedly: "Oh my God! Those are all plum fish, there are more than ten of them!"

Li Tianming excitedly grabbed the teacher's arm and said, "Teacher, we finally found a wild population of plum fish again!"

Professor Qin was stunned. She couldn't believe that there were more than ten such precious fish at once, and they were a whole population!

Professor Lin turned around and said to Zhou Bin: "Brother Zhou, thank you! Without you, I'm afraid I will never see plum fish in my life!"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Professor Lin, you're welcome."

Li Tianming interrupted, "Brother Zhou, this is a great thing! With these precious materials, we can study the plum fish in detail."

Several people waited by the pond for several hours and discovered two more populations, each with about ten fish.

By this calculation, there are about thirty plum fish living in this pond, which can be said to be the largest population of plum fish that Professor Lin has ever seen.

Professor Lin and the other two people took careful photos, made notes, observed the surrounding environment, and investigated things like geology and hydrology before getting up and leaving.

After returning to Zhou Bin's home, Professor Lin was very happy and repeatedly thanked Zhou Bin for his contribution to his scientific research career.

Zhou Bin grinned and said, "Professor Lin, you are too polite. I don't understand either. I was just running errands."

Li Tianming said, "Brother Zhou, don't underestimate these thirty or so fish. They can be said to have rewritten our research history!"

Zhou Bin smiled. He was not interested in rewriting history. He was mainly concerned about his own fish pond.

However, after spending time together yesterday and today, a new idea came to Zhou Bin's mind.

So he asked with a smile: "Professor Lin, you said this fish was eaten by the emperor in the past? How much is it worth?"

Professor Lin immediately smiled and said, "This fish was indeed eaten by the emperor in the past. During the Song Dynasty, it was a royal tribute. If you want to know how much it costs now, since there are so few fish, I can't say for sure, but I have heard people say that one fish costs at least ten yuan."

When Zhou Bin heard this, he was moved. Oh my God! Is this fish so valuable?

This thing is much more valuable than coal. One fish can buy a ton of coal!

So Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Then if I raise this kind of fish and sell it to those people, won't I get rich?"

Hou Tianhai also opened his eyes wide with interest, waiting for Professor Lin's answer.

Professor Lin smiled and said, "Indeed, if you raise this kind of fish well, you will definitely make a fortune. But this kind of fish is rare and difficult to raise, so it has been rare in recent years!"

Zhou Bin immediately said, "They can be kept alive! Look at the fish in my pond, they are quite lively!"

Professor Lin slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, those fish are really happy!"

Zhou Bin chuckled and said, "Professor Lin, I have an idea. Is it feasible?"

Professor Lin was very grateful to Zhou Bin and said with a smile, "Whatever you think, just tell me."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Can you help me and let me try to raise these plum fish? When they are raised in the future, not only will I have an income, but I can also select some good fry and release them back into the wild. Isn't this also a contribution to the reproduction of plum fish?"
