Not long after we arrived at the farm, one car, then two cars, and finally three cars came to the door.
"Old Xia, your place is quite easy to find!"
He Jiawen yelled as soon as he got off the car.
He had nothing to do at home, so he came here today.
"It's okay. Welcome everyone to visit my farm."
"Brother Xia, I even brought my most valuable fishing rod. You can't let us all become empty-handed!"
On the other side, Lu Zhou, who was fully armed with a baseball cap and a fishing vest, said.
But don’t be fooled by his professional attire, you can tell he is a veteran air force veteran the moment he opens his mouth.
In the fishing world, "empty hands" means coming up empty-handed and gaining nothing, which means that you have been busy for a long time but haven't caught a single shrimp. It can be said to be the bottom of the contempt chain in the entire fishing world.
"Don't worry, Old Lu. I've never cleaned the ponds on this farm. There are at least tens of thousands of pounds of fish in there. Usually, only waterfowl and ducks eat them. Let's go in and talk."
While inviting everyone in, Xia Yu assured them that the farm did not make money by selling fish after all.
"Fuck, Old Xia, this place of yours is a paradise, right? I thought it was just a small fish pond, but you're calling it a lake!"
Entering from the farm gate, the view suddenly opened up. Seeing the scenery inside the farm, He Jiawen couldn't help but blurt out vulgar words.
"And this forest, it's at least a hundred acres in area!"
"It's okay, it's only two hundred acres in total."
Xia Yu said in a calm tone.
Invisible pretense is the most deadly. Everyone is irritated by words like "okay" and "so-so".
To buy such a large farm in Shanghai, it would cost at least tens of millions. He Jiawen's father, Lao Lao He, could afford the money, but he would have to sell the wedding house under his name, and the same would be true for Lu Zhou.
It seems that Xia Yu is richer than they thought.
There are also differences between rich people. They are all billionaires, but some are worth hundreds of millions, some are worth tens of billions, and some are worth tens of billions. Like the Internet tycoons often reported by the media, many of their assets are worth hundreds of billions.
He Jiawen's father is not as well off as Jiang Lei. He can afford to buy a farm but is reluctant to do so. His son can only sell his old car and spend more money to buy a GTR.
Like Jiang Baiying, if she were into cars, the first car she would get would be a Lamborghini. Unfortunately, she has no interest in this, so Old Jiang can only give her a farm.
"Old Xia, what kind of family do you come from? With your financial situation, why would you want a GTR? Isn't a Ferrari 488 more appealing?"
He Jiawen said with a look of disappointment.
Although they met because of the GTR, he wanted to have a friend who drove a Ferrari more.
"Lao He, don't worry. I'm only 20 years old this year. I bought this first car just to practice. It won't be too late to change cars once I become an experienced driver!"
Seeing that He Jiawen was more anxious than himself, Xia Yu patted his shoulder and comforted him.
Unfortunately, Xia Yu's comfort had the opposite effect, and the three people who were talking and laughing just now suddenly fell silent.
Listen, this is human language!
He bought a car that cost more than 2.5 million yuan just to practice, and his tone is exactly the same as those who said they spent 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to buy a second-hand Jetta to practice driving.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry. Let’s stop comparing. Isn’t it good for us to go fishing?
Xia Yu, who went back to get his fishing gear, didn't notice the abnormality of the crowd. When he came back with his things, the atmosphere returned to the previous state of talking and laughing.
Life is like a play, and everyone’s acting is pretty good.
This time, all four of them used lure fishing. The realistic lures attracted the stupid fish in the water to take the bait, which made everyone very busy and happy.
Among the catches were grass carp, silver carp and crucian carp. There were no mandarin fish this time, but we did catch two greedy black carp, which would surely be delicious if stewed into soup.
This wish came true at noon, and everyone cooked a fish feast together.
The grass carp was cooked into pickled fish, the silver carp was braised, the largest crucian carp was steamed, and the black carp was stewed in a large pot of soup on the earthen stove.
Everyone enjoyed the fish and some stir-fried vegetables very much and kept praising the dish.
"If you like it, eat more. After you finish eating, we will go fishing in the afternoon and bring it back for our family to taste."
Xia Yu said generously.
These fish can be fed to water birds and ducks, so it’s better to give them away as a favor!
"Okay, let's eat the big one today!"
Old Air Force Lu Zhou was the first to respond. Fortunately, there were many fish here at Xia Yu's place, and many fish blindly hit his hook, breaking his best record in just one morning.
"Take some chickens and ducks back, but don't give us any sheep. Wait until winter. Then we can eat mutton together."
"Okay, we'll come back in winter and eat you out of your money!"
We made an appointment to have hotpot in winter. The goats bleating outside the house didn’t know what it meant. They only knew to eat grass, lots and lots of grass.
After dinner, everyone changed their spots and started fishing again, and continued fishing until the evening rush hour when work was almost over.
Each of the three people received a whole bucket of fish, a chicken and a duck, and filled their trunks with fresh vegetables. This trip was a very fruitful one.
Xia Yu wanted to keep them for another dinner, but the three of them wanted to take these fresh products to their families to try, so they said goodbye and left.
It’s a bit of a pity that they didn’t even get to drink a sip of the wine they brought this time because they had to drive.
Lu Zhou carried two bottles of Moutai, and the fat man named Wang carried a box of Qinghua Fenjiu.
Among them, He Jiawen was the most relaxed. He took a bottle of red wine and said that he stole it from his father's wine cabinet, so it shouldn't be too cheap.
To be honest, Xia Yu stuffed so many things into their pockets to take back, and they didn't lose anything but made some money. He said that he ate at the expense of the rich, but in fact, he cared more about his face than anyone else.
This may be the life of rich people. They value face more than anything else and will not take advantage of their friends.
Similarly, Xia Yu will have to do the same next time he visits someone else's home. He should be more generous so as not to lose his status as a wealthy man.
In addition to the red wine placed in the master bedroom, Xia Yu also sent Moutai and Fenjiu to the warehouse. If he has time in the future, he can have a couple of drinks with Uncle Tai.
While it was still light, Xia Yu specially picked some extra vegetables, packed them in a box, attached a pre-printed express delivery note, and sent it directly to the town.
Even though he was enjoying the best food in Shanghai, he couldn't forget his parents back home and couldn't stop eating.
After coming back and having dinner, it was completely dark. Xia Yu read for a while in the study in the master bedroom, and drove to the city around eight o'clock.
Although the bedding on the farm was ready, he had only lived in the new house for two days, so he needed to sleep more. After the novelty wore off, it would not make any difference to Xia Yu where he slept. At that time, it would mainly depend on which was more convenient.
This time Xia Yu learned his lesson. After the evening rush hour, the traffic was not so congested. It only took him half an hour to drive to the underground parking lot of the Arc de Triomphe.
