"You still have a breeding base," I thought for a moment and said to Manager Hong, "Even if the resort is not established, your village still has industry."
"The breeding base is no longer working," Manager Hong frowned and said, "In order to build a resort, the ponds around the arowana pond were filled in and a B&B was built. The eel pond is not good-looking and I am worried about scaring tourists who come to the resort. The village party secretary Let's move the pond to the back hill.
Many villagers did not build a pool because they thought the resort could make money. The current scale of breeding is incomparable to that of the past. If this resort had not been publicized, many villagers would have returned to pre-liberation overnight. "
When I heard these words, I felt psychologically burdened.
In the past, when I went out to do things, it was to help people solve their problems and do good deeds. This time, I seem to be here to cut off people's wealth and ruin their lives.
Passing through Kaoshantun, not far away, we arrived at the resort.
A large signboard with neon lights flashed with the five characters of Arowana Resort.
The car pulled into the parking lot.
After getting off the car, there was a flat asphalt road under my feet, and all the way here were newly built roads. How much does it cost just to build roads! This shows how much investment there is in this resort.
The B&B is a two-story small Western-style building. The streets are clean and tidy, and the walls on both sides of the road are painted with paintings of fish leaping over dragon gates.
Manager Hong led us to the resort and introduced it to us.
"In addition to the dragon fish pond, we also have a large children's playground, an indoor gymnasium, basketball, football, and badminton. There is a tea room and a beauty salon."
Speaking of his own business, Manager Hong looked proud, "In the past, we only received big bosses, because the big bosses didn't care about anything but fishing for arowana. At that time, the resort had not been built yet, and big bosses came every day to make appointments. The boss never stopped.
But our village party secretary said we should not just look at immediate benefits, but also seek long-term benefits for future generations. So our village made drastic reforms and built this resort. Fairy Grandma, Chinese New Year is coming soon. We want to take advantage of this new year to make the resort more popular. You and Fairy Grandpa can help us. I would like to thank you both on behalf of the villagers. "
I felt guilty hearing this thank you.
At this time Shuo Bai said, "Where is the dragon fish pond? Take us there."
"That's it. Let's go see it after dinner." Manager Hong smiled and led us into the hotel in the resort.
It was dinner time and the hall was full.
The big bosses know this place, which means everyone in the wealthy circle knows this place. So even though it hasn’t been officially promoted yet, there are still many people visiting here.
As soon as we entered the hotel, the waiter came up to us immediately and greeted us with a smile, "Manager Hong, we have reserved a private room for you upstairs."
Manager Hong nodded and led us upstairs.
I watched people coming and going in the hotel and said to Manager Hong, "The business at your resort is already booming."
"These are all introduced by acquaintances," Manager Hong said, "the flow of people is limited. What we want to do is to make the resort bigger and stronger, and let the whole country know that there is an Arowana Resort in Kaoshantun!"
I looked at Manager Hong’s energetic face, smiled bitterly, and said nothing.
His dream of becoming bigger and stronger is going to be ruined by me.
After entering the private room, a waiter handed over the menu.
Shuo Bai opened the menu, looked at the dishes, and asked Manager Hong in a cold voice, "Don't they sell arowana here?"
"Arowana is auspicious," explained Manager Hong. "Anyone caught is released. We don't cook arowana here. To be honest, no one dares to eat it."
After Manager Hong finished speaking, the waiter suddenly said, "Manager Hong, someone ate arowana today. It was a family of three. They went fishing in the morning. They were lucky and caught an arowana in two hours. Then the family took the arowana When they come to the restaurant, let our chef cook fish for them."
"He asked and you just did it?" Manager Hong stood up anxiously, "You are too courageous! Who will be responsible if something goes wrong!"
"We didn't do it for him," the waiter hurriedly explained. "We persuaded them that the arowana was auspicious and should be released. But the family didn't listen. They took a picnic stove from the car and grilled the arowana.
After the arowana is grilled, it tastes particularly fragrant. At that time, all the guests in our hotel went out to watch. By the way, I also recorded a video. "
The waiter took out his phone, found the video, and handed the phone to Manager Hong.
I said, "Manager Hong, can you let us take a look?"
Manager Hong nodded and handed me the phone again.
I took my phone and watched it with Shuo Bai.
In the video, a barbecue grill is set up on the grass next to the pond.
On the grill was a fish that looked like a dragon but didn't have legs.
The fish was already grilled. A middle-aged man in casual clothes picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and took a bite first.
Then he looked surprised and said twice that it was delicious. Then he picked up another chopstick and fed it to the twelve or thirteen year old boy standing next to him.
When the middle-aged man was feeding his son fish, the young woman beside him also picked up a small piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
When they ate the fish, the three of them had the same reaction, praising how delicious it was.
Then the three of them started eating.
The video ends here.
The family of three happily ate fish, nothing strange about it.
I was about to return the phone to the waiter, when Shuo Bai suddenly reached out and asked the video to play again.
He pointed to the pond and reminded me, "Look carefully here."
The pond is in a corner of the video. Because it is just the background and it is small, the recording is not unclear.
I stared carefully.
While the family of three was eating fish, two bright lights flashed in the pond. It was like two eyes emerging from the pond, staring coldly at the family of three.
Although the picture quality is blurry, I know this is not my imagination. Something in the pond is eyeing this family of three!
My heart trembled, and I quickly asked the waiter, "Where are this family now? Are they gone?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "They didn't leave. They checked into the auspicious room. They said they would go back to sleep and continue fishing for arowana when they got up. They would also eat arowana at night."
"Did they go fishing in the afternoon?" I asked again.
The waiter replied, "I don't work at the arowana restaurant. I don't know if they went fishing for arowana in the afternoon."
I returned the phone to the waiter, then turned to Manager Hong and said, "Manager Hong, we don't have time to eat. We have to find this family quickly. I'm worried that something will happen to this family."
Seeing my serious face, Manager Hong also became serious, "Grandma Fairy, you are right, we need to find them quickly. What if I get food poisoning if I eat blindly?"
As he spoke, Manager Hong walked out and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
When he walked out of the hotel, Manager Hong had already found the location of the family of three.
"They are in auspicious times,"
Manager Hong broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, "I called the Arowana Restaurant, but there were no guests who went fishing in the afternoon. I called the B&B again, and the check-in information showed that the family of three did not come out after returning to the room at noon. I asked The staff went to knock on the door, and we hurried over.
Oh my god, please don't let anything happen. I haven't officially opened our shop yet. If this family of three dies here, our resort will be doomed. "
Manager Hong trotted all the way, the fat on his body trembling up and down as he ran.
He rushed over in a hurry, but he was too fat and couldn't run before he got very far.
I told Manager Hong that we should rush over first and he would come back after taking a rest.
Manager Hong didn't show any force and called a waiter to guide Shuo Bai and me.
Arrive at the auspicious room of the B&B.
Standing at the gate, before I even opened the door, I smelled a strong fishy smell.
