Chapter 142 A rather beautiful goldfish
Chapter 142 A Pretty Goldfish
On the same day, in the real world, in the afternoon.
After Yu Caiyu Fresh Fruit's new company finalized the rental of work vehicles, Huang Musong rode his electric tricycle to deliver a full load of bottled water to the orchard.
Excluding the deposit for the bucket, each bucket of water costs 5 yuan, totaling 120 yuan.
This expense is enough to allow the sapling to grow into a sapling!
During the seedling growth period, the water consumption is quite large, but the water source for irrigation has not yet been connected.
In addition, palm cacti also prefer to drink mineral water.
Huang Musong was equally generous with it.
The buckets were carried into the orchard one by one. Although the twenty-odd buckets of water were quite heavy, it didn't take much effort to move them all.
Place the last bucket of water next to the palm beast.
Huang Musong remained calm and composed.
I feel like I could carry three times as many buckets of water before I felt tired.
Dragon meat improves physical fitness, making one vigorous and energetic.
Combined with his previous urging of the Doro to train, and the memory fragments that hinted at his own physical improvement, he was incredibly healthy with this double buff.
I haven't done any systematic strength training recently.
His pectoral muscles are fuller, and his abs have become eight-packed.
A perfect male physique!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the orchard, Huang Musong took off his shirt and did farm work shirtless.
The palm-shaped creature can fetch water to drink on its own.
Huang Musong only needs to take care of the saplings.
First, water the soil with a watering can of water from a Whale sprayer, then sprinkle some fertilizer to enhance soil fertility, and finally, "ton ton ton" pour in bottled mineral water...
The entire operation takes half an hour.
To be completed
Huang Musong began to mutter to himself and start making plans.
"Watering saplings and growing anime-style specialty fruits in the real world makes the investment in bottled water negligible."
"When we plant orange trees later, we'll definitely need to irrigate the land. We can't make enough money from the purified water just by growing regular oranges."
"As for the water pipe issue, by the time the company takes care of it, it will be too late."
When the company does things, the timeline is based on the plans of most contractors, and it will take at least three months to connect the water pipes.
Huang Musong can't wait too long!
I'll do the water pipe installation myself in advance, since the company will reimburse me for it all.
The irrigation work will then be entrusted to the palm beast.
It has something to do every day, so it won't be too lonely.
Thinking of this, I immediately took action...
Huang Musong drove his electric tricycle to the factory of the water source company that had signed the contract with Caiyu Fresh Fruit.
The main project of the water plant is the purification of non-potable water.
The agricultural share supplied to orchards is negligible.
Once again, Huang Musong appeared alone and was not taken seriously by the other party. He was placed in an empty office with air conditioning.
Perfect timing, nothing urgent, I'll take advantage of the cool breeze to save on electricity bills at home.
Huang Musong played a few games with Su Qingyao via live stream.
Losing more than winning doesn't matter; being happy is more important.
He took the opportunity to chat with Su Qingyao and Alwen.
As darkness approached, a commotion arose at the end of the corridor, prompting Huang Musong to close the game and disconnect from voice chat.
Man: "How many times have I told you? You're not opening the floodgates!"
Man: "Damn it."
Man: "Are these old farmers all idiots? Every year when the reservoir gates are opened, the water release volume is always in accordance with the contract. How can you release more water just because you say so?"
Woman: "But... boss, what if the villagers complain if we don't give them more water?"
Man: "Sue! Let them sue! We're acting in accordance with the contract, and if it goes to court, we'll be in the right."
Woman: "I'm afraid there are some backstabbers in the county government compound. Boss, you're too straightforward; you've offended quite a few people these past few years. To be frank, you're my distant uncle, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything."
Man: "You...you're right. I'm afraid of being targeted by malicious people. But even if they are, what can they do?"
Huang Musong has good hearing and, based on the content of the conversation, deduced that the other party's water plant was in trouble.
The water plant contracts with the town's reservoir and is responsible for filtering industrial water.
The reservoir is large, and the government has outsourced part of it to develop fishing grounds.
Increasing irrigation water levels would lead to water shortages in fish farms and a significant reduction in fish fry production.
The losses caused to the fish farm should be borne jointly by the water plant and the farmers.
The farmers who demanded increased water flow completely disregarded any potential losses to the fish farms.
They are like gluttons, their light goes in but not out.
As the owner of the water plant, who would agree to the farmers' unreasonable requests?
Trouble!
Go ahead and make a ruckus!
Even if the matter goes to court, the contract should still be honored!
The water plant owner was very firm in his stance.
After understanding the situation clearly.
Huang Musong felt somewhat embarrassed.
Although I am not a local villager who is causing trouble, I am here to discuss increasing the flow of water to irrigate the orchard.
It was as if I had been struck by a thunderbolt.
Unwittingly caught in the crossfire...
The water plant owner, unaware that anyone was in the office, entered the room cursing and swearing, and only then did he see Huang Musong.
"The Rainbow Jade Fruit?"
Upon recognizing the company T-shirt the other party was wearing, the water plant owner was immediately at a loss, but he couldn't say anything.
The project signed with Caiyu Fresh Fruit is also legal.
Unfortunately, the water plant is truly unable to supply any more water in the near future.
The middle-aged boss pondered how to tactfully persuade Huang Musong to leave without offending Caiyu Fresh Fruit's partners.
The woman was about the same age as Huang Musong.
Having limited social experience, she didn't recognize Huang Musong's work background and even ignored him.
She walked to the desk, took out a postcard, and said, "Didn't you attend a dinner party the other day? I was your driver that day, and there was a Mr. Ma at the table who kept bragging about how he recently got his hands on a fish from the world of anime."
"They say things like 'My fish is amazing,' 'My fish can turn into a person,' and 'Anyone who needs anything can just contact me'..."
"I was thinking, should you contact Mr. Ma and ask him to use that fish to help maintain the fish stocks at the reservoir?"
"In this way, to avoid losses to the fishery, we can release more water through the sluice gates."
After saying that, the female employee caught a glimpse of Huang Musong out of the corner of her eye and hurriedly shooed him out.
Water plant operations are a company secret!
How can we allow outsiders to eavesdrop?
The boss waved his hand, indicating that it was fine and agreed to let Huang Musong stay in the office.
The female employee frowned, sighed, and gave her a cold look.
"I'm truly impressed!"
"How can anyone have the nerve to stay all afternoon?"
The female employee muttered under her breath, her expression sharp and sarcastic.
Huang Musong wasn't angry and didn't even acknowledge the female employee's teasing.
His mind was completely absorbed by the topic the other person had just brought up!
Mr. Ma has a two-dimensional fish...
In the real world, are there other people besides me who keep two-dimensional creatures as pets?
Could it be a fat catfish, a henchman of the scoundrel?
Huang Musong fell into deep thought.
It's understandable that anime/manga creatures are gradually invading reality, given the precedent of the "scumbag snake."
Meanwhile, he was raising three Doro, a Palm Beast, and two fish.
They are considered a large household.
It's perfectly acceptable for other people to keep anime/manga pets.
Huang Musong was only curious about what kind of fish this Mr. Ma was raising.
I pricked up my ears and continued to listen.
The water plant owner was too busy to attend to Huang Musong at the moment, and first dealt with the female employee: "Why should anyone help me? You're too young, you don't understand at all. Don't take anything said at the banquet seriously. Boss Donkey said he would help, but he just wanted to show off his fish."
"Besides, what about Donkey Boss's abilities..."
"It can barely transform into human form."
"Let me think... Oh! That fish is called a goldfish."
As he spoke, he gestured to the female employee to close the door so that the air conditioning in the room wouldn't escape.
"Da da da"
High heels on the tile floor,
The female employee slammed the door shut.
She glanced at Huang Musong with increasing disdain.
Huang Musong, on the other hand, had no interest in the female employees' ostracism towards him.
Zhang Jinyu? Donkey Boss?
Is that the video that went viral online before?
Upon closer examination, Huang Musong concluded it was purely a coincidence and shook his head.
It's probably just someone with the same name!
Before he could figure it out, the water plant owner spoke again, saying, "There's no need to contact Boss Donkey; even if we did, it wouldn't make a difference. Boss Donkey's fish is just a decorative vase, a pastime."
"It's Mr. Ma. His surname is Ma and his given name is Hu. Please don't get used to calling him that and forget to change your address when you go out, or you'll offend people." The female employee sighed and reminded him a few times.
Having overheard the conversation to this point, Huang Musong had roughly pieced together the key information.
Whether it's Donkey Boss or Jack Ma Boss.
Even the goldfish from the world of anime is unimportant.
The reservoir fish farm is the key!
Clearing his throat at the opportune moment to attract the other person's attention, Huang Musong immediately struck up a conversation: "What a coincidence. I also have two fish at home, from the world of anime. They have extraordinary abilities and might be able to help solve the problems at the fish farm."
"Hmm? You also keep two anime fish? They can turn into human form?" The water plant owner's curiosity was piqued, and he chimed in, pulling out his phone to show pictures.
Two pictures,
One is the two-dimensional appearance of the goldfish;
The other is the appearance of Zhang Jinyu after he transforms into a human in the real world.
The sofa was quite far from the desk, so Huang Musong glanced at it briefly without examining it closely.
At first glance,
The goldfish looks quite beautiful after its transformation;
Unfortunately, its anime-style appearance can't compare to that of a mermaid.
The mermaid crushes the goldfish!
Even immature tigerfish are prettier than goldfish.
Turning his gaze away, Huang Musong waved his hand and explained, "The fish I raise don't have the ability to transform into human form. However, they can command aquatic creatures, which may help protect the fish farm from losses caused by excessive water release from the reservoir."
"Oh? It's good that they can't shapeshift! The fact that they can't shapeshift proves that they have other real abilities. Those that can shapeshift are just pretty faces." The water plant owner suddenly stood up, showing the other party great respect.
Including the young female employee who was just making fun of Huang Musong,
At this moment, she changed her expression as if she had changed her face.
