Chapter 205

In fact, there were people raising fish in the neighboring township of Meng Hu Ling, Green Ridge Township. The terrain there was relatively flat and adjacent to the Yangtze River, which was very suitable for raising fish. So there were many people raising fish here. It was not far from Meng Hu Ling Township, so it was most appropriate to buy fish here.

Handling welfare was, of course, a job with oil and water, but Su Xinghui, of course, would not scrape any oil and water from it. This was also the reason why he called Zeng Xianglin. One person is for private, two people are for public.

On the way, the old jeep broke down once. Zeng Xianglin complained: "Such a broken car, it would have been eliminated in other places long ago, but it's still being driven in our township."

Yao Xuexin said: "Two months ago, I heard rumors that the county was going to change us to a new car, but I don't know why there's no movement now."

Su Xinghui said: "It's fine, when our township's financial situation is better, even if the county doesn't change it for us, we'll change it ourselves. A jeep, isn't it just twenty or thirty thousand?"

Yao Xuexin nodded: "That's true. After Director Su came, our township's situation is getting better and better. With so much welfare this year, I think it won't be long before we can buy a new car."

Zeng Xianglin echoed: "Yes, fortunately Director Su came to our township. There will definitely be great development here in the future."

Su Xinghui laughed: "Don't keep praising me. I can't do so many things alone. The main work still depends on you to do."

The few people talked and talked, and soon arrived at Green Ridge Township. Yao Xuexin drove the car directly to the Green Ridge Township government. After Su Xinghui and Zeng Xianglin went in, they found the Party and Government Office directly.

Zeng Xianglin was quite familiar with Yan Junda, the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office of Green Ridge Township. He had called Yan Junda in advance before coming, and Yan Junda was waiting for him in the Party and Government Office.

Yan Junda was about the same age as Zeng Xianglin. As soon as he saw Zeng Xianglin, he smiled and stood up: "Old Zeng, why are you free to come to us today?"

Zeng Xianglin said: "I came today because I have something to ask for your help."

Yan Junda poured tea for the two: "If you have anything, just say it. As long as I can help, I will definitely help. We can be considered brother units."

Zeng Xianglin introduced to Yan Junda: "Director Yan, this is Comrade Su Xinghui, Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office of our Meng Hu Ling Township."

As soon as Yan Junda heard this, he quickly extended his right hand to Su Xinghui: "Oh, so it's Director Su. I have eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai!"

Su Xinghui shook hands with him and said: "Where, where, I don't dare to accept it!"

Yan Junda looked at Su Xinghui and said: "Director Su is so young, really young and promising! By the way, I think Director Su's name sounds familiar. Where have I heard it? Right, in that report on your Meng Hu Ling Township in the 'Lake East Daily', your name seems to be there, right?"

Su Xinghui said: "Director Yan has a good memory. I did get on the newspaper once, ashamed, ashamed."

Yan Junda said: "Where, Director Su, you are really young and promising. This makes me admire you too much. I also heard from our township leaders that they wanted to go to your place to learn from you. Your work there this year was carried out too well."

Su Xinghui said: "Alright, we welcome you whenever you want to come to our place, we will definitely treat you with great hospitality!"

Yan Junda nodded repeatedly, and he asked again: "By the way, Director Su, what do you need my help with today? As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

Su Xinghui said: "It's like this, isn't it almost New Year's? Our township wants to issue some welfare to employees, fish, meat, etc. Our township doesn't raise fish, so we came to you to buy fish, wanting to ask Director Yan to help introduce a fish pond."

Yan Junda asked: "How much fish do you want to buy?"

Su Xinghui said: "More than a thousand jin."

Yan Junda was surprised: "Oh, it seems that your township's situation is good this year, and you can buy so much fish for welfare."

Su Xinghui said: "It's stronger than last year, but it's definitely not as good as your Green Ridge Township."

Meng Hu Ling Township had always been a township at the bottom of the county's economy. In the past, all aspects were not as good as Green Ridge Township, and naturally, it was not as good in terms of welfare. Of course, it might not be the case this year. Su Xinghui said this to flatter Yan Junda, so as not to cause any unnecessary unpleasantness.

Yan Junda nodded: "That's true. Alright, I'll help with this. I'll definitely help you buy fish that is both cheap and good."

Yan Junda went out with Su Xinghui and Zeng Xianglin, got on Yao Xuexin's old jeep, and let Yao Xuexin drive the car to a reservoir. He said that the water in this reservoir was deep and the water quality was good, and the fish raised here were more delicious than those raised in small fish ponds and were also much bigger. And with him coming forward, he could buy them at a price cheaper than the market price.

This reservoir was not contracted by individuals, but managed by an aquaculture farm run by the township. Yan Junda found Hu Jinshui, the director of the aquaculture farm: "Old Hu, this is Director Su and Old Zeng from the Party and Government Office of Meng Hu Ling Township. They are here to buy fish. You talk to them, want big fish, and give them a discount."

Hu Jinshui naturally didn't dare to neglect after hearing Yan Junda's words. He led the few people to the reservoir and called a middle-aged farmer around fifty: "Old Chen, catch two bigger fish."

Old Chen agreed and took out a strange thing from his pocket. It was a ball of transparent fishing line, with a gray metal attached to the head, like a lead block, and a big fishhook hanging under the lead block.

As soon as this thing was taken out, Su Xinghui and the others were a bit strange. Is this for fishing? But where is the fishing rod?

I saw Old Chen winding one end of the fishing line on his left wrist, holding the lead block in his right hand, looking at the water surface with full attention, which made Su Xinghui and others also look at the water surface with full attention.

Suddenly, a subtle splash flashed on the water surface more than ten meters away. At this moment, Old Chen made a move. He threw the lead block toward that place. I saw blood splash, a big fish jumped out of the water, struggling constantly.

Old Chen took back the fishing line, and in a while, a big fish jumping alive was pulled ashore, still jumping constantly on the shore.

Old Chen's hand made Su Xinghui and the others tongue-tied. Is this too magical? More than ten meters away, just by a splash, Old Chen could use such a simple tool to catch such a big fish.

Old Chen squatted down and took the fishhook off the head of the big fish. Hu Jinshui said: "Good, this fish is at least sixteen jin, but this is a grass carp. Old Chen, catch another black carp for them to see."

Hu Jinshui's words made Su Xinghui and the others feel even more magical. Not only can they use this thing to catch fish more than ten meters away, but they can also choose what fish to catch? This is too magical. ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
