The group enjoyed their meal.

The main reason is that the aroma is so good that everyone is attracted to it.

Enjoying grilled meat and a little wine.

We ate the barbecue very late.

Everyone was drunk.

Fortunately, Gu Xuan had already arranged rooms for everyone.

Once the last leg of lamb was finished, everyone dispersed.

Everyone else went back to rest.

Gu Xuan and Fang Shiqing were sent back by Nangong Jin.

Both of them had been drinking and could not drive.

Wanwan was also in the car.

Wanwan was still awake at this time.

Fang Shiqing asked.

"Why aren't you resting so late?"

Wanwan had a big smile on her face.

"Wait for your sister."

Fang Shiqing gently held Wanwan in her arms.

"Thank you, Wanwan."

"You're welcome."

Back to Cold Spring Cottage.

Nangong Jin returned to her room to rest.

Fang Shiqing also took Wanwan to her room.

All that remains here is the ancient pavilion.

I smelled faintly of alcohol, and I wasn't tired, so I just wanted to relax and rest.

I went to the pavilion and brewed myself some tea.

After a few sips, the drunkenness subsided considerably.

I let out a comfortable breath.

I casually opened the system.

Today, my reputation has reached over 90 million, and it's about to break 100 million.

Gu Xuan couldn't resist buying a golden treasure chest.

"Open."

"Ding! Congratulations on your acquisition of the following: 1,000 mu of ranch (including 600 mu of grassland and 400 mu of forest), 500 Snowflake Black Cattle, 100 Snow Deer, and 30,000 Wild Spring River Knife Fish (a type of freshwater knife fish with an extremely delicious flavor)."

Gu Xuan smiled slightly upon seeing the items that were obtained this time.

"Many things that are emerging now are about increasing the area, and this ranch is exactly what we need right now."

Look at the two items behind.

These have all happened before.

"We're short of snowflake black cattle lately, and snow deer is also good; at least we don't have to worry about deer antlers."

Finally, the Spring River Knife Fish was indeed fresh.

Gu Xuan glanced at the introduction.

"It seems that this spring river knife fish is very delicious, and it is perfect to raise it in the lake in the north."

The lake to the north has abundant water and also acts as a barrier, making it suitable for aquaculture.

Click to receive it.

As the pastures expanded, snowflake black cattle appeared on the pastures, and snow deer also appeared in their respective locations.

The spring river knife fish went directly into the lake water.

Then came the unbridled indulgence.

Gu Xuan opened it and took a look.

The system displayed the saury in the lake.

It feels really good.

I started drooling as I looked at it.

"We can try it tomorrow."

Then Gu Xuan bought another golden treasure chest.

He wanted to see if he could still find something delicious to eat.

"Open."

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 50,000 Golden Carp (very different from ordinary carp, with fewer bones and a delicious taste) and 20,000 Wild Red-scaled Fish (small wild fish species, with a delicious taste, a rare delicacy. Although small in size, it is expensive. It only grows in mountain springs)."

This time, the treasure chest only yielded two items.

But both of these items are extraordinary.

I glanced at the description of the golden carp.

"These golden carp can be used as a common freshwater fish. They taste very delicious, and there are 50,000 of them, which is enough."

Then it was received, and the golden carp entered the lake.

Look at the second item.

After reading the introduction, Gu Xuan stroked his chin and nodded.

"This fish is indeed excellent. This type of fish has appeared before. It is said to have a unique flavor. Wild ones are very hard to find, and the price is tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram. It only grows in mountain springs. So we can only place it in the north, where there are abundant springs and many ponds or lakes formed by springs."

Random call system.

"System, find a suitable place to put it."

The system then displays ten locations.

There are two on the south side.

Both of these are very in-depth.

There are eight locations to the north.

I checked them one by one. All eight slots could hold 20,000 items, but there were three slots that wouldn't be able to hold any more if I added more.

What attracts Gu Xuan the most is a small lake shaped like a gourd.

Several streams flow from the bottom and converge into the lake.

Finally, it flows out from the spout.

The spout is constricted, and a large rock blocks the water flow at the bottom, so the water can only flow out from the top, thus preventing the fish from escaping.

It's a perfect natural place to raise fish.

It doesn't require any modifications.

It's a great place; it's easy to get up the mountain, and it's also a good spot for catching fish.

Determine the location.

"Just leave it here."

Click to place the ancient pavilion.

Twenty thousand wild red-scaled fish appeared in the lake.

I opened the system and took a look.

The lake water is so clear that you can clearly see small fish swimming in it.

Gu Xuan drooled from the corner of his mouth.

"Perfect timing, I can make some to try tomorrow."

Gu Xuan couldn't resist.

I continued to check the system for a while.

I did not open any more treasure chests.

Wait until the pot of tea is finished.

Gu Xuan checked the time.

It's getting late.

He got up and went back to his room.

I fell asleep quickly after lying in bed.

I slept very well.

I got up early the next day, just like always.

I've prepared some breakfast.

I also prepared some side dishes.

Finally, I want to cook a few red-scaled fish.

This is something he's been thinking about all along.

Open the system and ask the system for help; several wild red-scaled fish will appear in the system space.

Take it out directly.

Just give it a simple cleaning.

Let's start making the food.

The people who had just woken up also smelled the aroma.

Fang Shiqing came to the kitchen and asked a question.

"What did you make today? It smells so good."

Gu Xuan had a smile on his face.

You'll find out in a moment.

"Then I'll wait."

Next to arrive was Nangong Jin.

The same thing.

Gu Xuan also told her to wait.

Wait until breakfast is ready.

The group was already impatient.

Watching the dishes being served one by one.

But these people kept their eyes on the kitchen.

I want to know what else is there.

Until Gu Xuan served the last dish.

Deep-fried wild red-scaled fish.

The group kept their eyes fixed on Gu Xuan.

When the deep-fried red-scaled fish is placed on the table, its aroma fills the air.

Their appetites were whetted.

Saliva instantly flowed from his mouth.

Wanwan couldn't resist reaching out and grabbing one.

I put it in my mouth and took a bite.

That one bite was all it took for Wanwan to fall in love with it.

His expression was one of excitement.

Nangong Jin and Fang Shiqing couldn't resist taking one and eating it after seeing it.

Nangong Jin was amazed by the deliciousness of the fish after taking a bite.

"What kind of fish is this? It tastes so delicious."

Gu Xuan did not answer directly.

"This fish looks good, doesn't it?"

"Of course it's good, tell me where you got it."

"These are fish from the mountains, so they're not exactly farmed; they're from the lake."

"What kind of fish is this?"

Nangong Jin was getting a little anxious.

She wanted to know what kind of fish she had eaten and wanted to get it from the hotel.

Gu Xuan answered with a smile.

Have you ever heard of the red-scaled fish?

Nangong Jin's eyes widened upon hearing those three words.

He looked completely incredulous.

"You mean the red-scaled fish that were previously used as tribute?"

Gu Xuan nodded.

"How is that possible? This kind of fish is very rare outside. It has very high requirements for water quality and it doesn't grow very big."

"So you think the water quality here is bad?"

Hearing Gu Xuan say this, Nangong Jin also realized what was going on.

"Yes."
