Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 174 Camp, Ten Fans, Seven True, Tucao Conference

In the early winter, Father-in-law Sun's work time is relatively late, and the dawn will gradually shine, and the genius will just start to shine.

In several directions of this wasteland, there are several long bamboo poles.

High-wattage lamps were hung on poles, and the power was supplied from nearby villagers' homes.

The lights illuminated the wasteland.

Under the light, I saw that the camp was concentrated in the center of the wasteland, and more than [-] off-white tents were lined up in several rows.

There are also lights on in every tent.

The staff of 'Cumin' who stayed here are all up, including Ji Ling, Liu Wenjing, and Meng Kai.

The ten fans who came to participate in the event also got up.

They're not here to sleep in.

In fact, several of them, like Comrade Wang, were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night.

When they first saw the two cars arriving, and then saw Ji Ran and the three of them approaching, they all looked excited and greeted them in unison.

One of the fans trotted and took the lead.

This one seems to be a bit 'stand out from the crowd' among the crowd.

The other fans are either young or middle-aged, but he is the only old man!
He is indeed an old man, not 70 years old, but in his sixties.

Ji Ran looked at the oldest man with the roundest figure and the shortest legs, but running ahead, and wondered if he didn't sleep well and was dazzled?
I rubbed my eyes, and then took a closer look, no blurred vision.

This one is indeed at least over 60 years old, a few years older than his old man.

The wrinkles on his face, the Mediterranean sea on his head, his gray beard, his overweight figure... His body is full of traces of the ruthless destruction of time, the butcher's knife.

Ji Ran...

He doesn't find it strange to have fans of such an old age. He believes that the charm of 'cumin' is popular in the fishing world from eight to 88 years old.

He was just a little puzzled, this guy is so old, he still loves to be crazy like a young man?

"Cumin, in the live broadcast room and in the short video, I have watched you countless times. Your voice and smile have already been deeply imprinted in my mind... Today I finally got my wish and saw a real person Oh... the real you, compared to the one on the screen, is definitely much more handsome and energetic..."

Uncle Mediterranean was the first to grab Ji Ran's head, his mouth was full of eloquence, his round black face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hands towards Ji Ran enthusiastically.

Seeing this uncle clearly from a close distance, Ji Ran couldn't help being stunned.

Have a feeling of déjà vu?

"Hi, hello, thank you for your support to 'cumin' all the time, and you are welcome to participate in this event."

Ji Ran shook hands with him, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, have we met somewhere?"

"You have an impression of me?"

Uncle Mediterranean was startled, then he stroked his beard and smiled happily, "My name is Xie Yongxing, I am from Xijiang City, and I have opened several Yongxing restaurants in Shanghai..."

Wing Hing Hotel?

Hearing the name, Ji Ran remembered.

He is a graduate student in the same university in Shanghai, and there is a 'Yongxing Hotel' next to the school.

The food there tastes good and the price is reasonable. It is said that it is opened by a fellow from Xijiang...

During his studies, he often went to that restaurant for dinner, and met Xie Yongxing several times.

Because he is a fellow villager, every time Ji Ran goes back, the restaurant will give him a very favorable discounted price.

Including Ji Ran's classmates and friends, as long as they report Ji Ran's name, they can also enjoy the discount.

At that time, everyone said that they were in Ji Ran's honor, and at the same time, they all praised the owner of 'Yongxing Hotel' for being a man, doing business, and doing business...

After Ji Ran left school to start his own business, because there was no 'Yongxing Hotel' near the company, he never went there again...

A few years later, Ji Ran almost forgot about such a hotel and such a person...

I didn't expect to see this person again at today's event.

However, Ji Ran didn't believe there was such a coincidence... Xie Yongxing won one of the ten spots.

You must know that there were a full six high-profile appearances on the Internet that day, and they were repeatedly sold.

So?

"I didn't expect Mr. Xie to be a fishing friend."

Ji Ran smiled politely.

"Don't call me Boss Xie, it's too unfamiliar. Besides, in front of you, I don't have the nerve to call you Boss... just call me Old Xie or Uncle Xie."

Xie Yongxing smiled brightly, as if he was remembering something, "I'm an old fish feeder, but it's a pity I didn't know you were the same back then, otherwise we had a lot of opportunities to fish side by side in the Shanghai stock market in those years, so why wait until today."

"That's true."

Ji Ran nodded and asked bluntly, "By the way, Uncle Xie, did you win the quota yourself, or..."

"Hey, uncle, I'm very lucky...or maybe it's fate, God arranged for us to meet again here..."

Xie Yongxing proudly took out his mobile phone, entered 'Starway', and opened a message in the background.

That's right, it was the information that he was drawn.

Ji Ran couldn't help being dazed when he saw it.

I thought Xie Yongxing's quota was bought with money, but I didn't expect it to be him!
Unexpected ha.

An old Xie, like a young fisherman...

This is an interesting old man.

"Brother Xie, this is my teacher Wang Haiqiang. You are in similar grades, so you should have something to talk about... This is my daughter, Dou Hua... Let's talk later."

Ji Ran smiled at him, and introduced Comrade Wang and his daughter.

"Teacher Wang, hello, hello...niece Douhua, hello, hello..."

Xie Yongxing greeted Wang Haiqiang Douhua happily.

……

Ji Ran smiled and looked at the other nine people.

"Hello Cumin, it's better to be famous than to meet in person. You are indeed much more stylish in real life than in the camera."

A middle-aged man in his 40s stepped forward and extended his hand with a smile.

His hands are white and tender, and he has a beer belly. With just one glance at Ji Ran, he can tell that this is not a fisherman, or he hasn't fished for a long time.

"Hello." Ji Ran smiled and shook hands with him, "Brother, what's your name?"

The other party introduced himself, "Wu Donglai, Donglai Orchard was created by me."

Donglai Orchard?

This Ji Ran also had a slight impression.

It seems that Donglai Orchard is a professional fruit online shopping app...it seems to be self-produced and sold. It not only sells fruits, but also sells dried fruits, fruit seeds, fruit seedlings, etc.

"Hello, Mr. Wu." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"Don't call Mr. Wu, I can't stand you in front of you... If you can afford it, call me Old Wu or Brother Dong, it's fine."

Wu Donglai said modestly, and then continued, "Actually, I bought my quota for 10 yuan... I came to participate in your event. I haven't fished for a long time and I want to get back the excitement of fishing back then~~qing( read twice), on the one hand...on the other hand..."

Hearing that he offered to explain something openly and honestly, Ji Ran's expression was calm.

That day, he thought that the six quotas were going up and down, and there must be someone with ulterior motives...Meng Kai said no...

Ha ha.

I didn't expect this to be it.

Of course, Ji Ran will not have any prejudice against them because of their impure purpose.

He's also the guy who started the company.

Which businessman doesn't try every means to reduce expenditures, increase revenue, expand business, and develop markets?
In order to seek cooperation with 'Cumin', Wu Donglai spent 10 yuan to buy a spot to participate in the event... This behavior is completely understandable.

Besides, Wu Donglai's frankness gave Ji Ran a good first impression.

"Brother Dong, we will only talk about fishing at this event. We will have a lot of time for other things in the future. You can talk to Master Jing... about the operation of 'Cumin', but I will basically not participate."

Ji Ran still interrupted him with a smile.

As he said, he was a slapstick.

Wu Donglai nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about other things, and don't spoil everyone's interest."

……

After exchanging greetings with Wu Donglai, the next one...

He is also a middle-aged man in his forties, named Tang Guangwei, with a broad body and fat body, a kind face, and skin that is more delicate than many women.

You don't need to ask Ji Ran to know that this one, like Wu Donglai, bought the quota with money. I don't know if he is fishing or not, but he definitely didn't come here purely for activities.

"Cumin, my two hobbies are fishing and drinking tea... I opened the 'Xinya Tea' in the provincial capital. When I come to the provincial capital, remember to ask my brother to drink tea."

Tang Guangwei warmly extended the invitation.

"Good talk, good talk."

Ji Ran responded with a smile.

I happened to see Meng Kai coming over, beckoned, and pointed at Tang Guangwei, "Brother Wei, fishing friends and tea friends, you are truly like-minded, please chat with Brother Wei."

Ji Ran was not interested in tea and dumped him directly to Meng Kai.

Meng Kai rubbed his chicken coop-like hair and added with a smile, "We talked last night. Brother Wei is a real tea ceremony master, unlike me, who is an entry-level picket..."

This guy still has self-knowledge?

Ji Ran didn't bother to listen to him, and then shook hands with the next fan.

……

Of the remaining seven, four had their spots purchased.

Three of these four people are real fishing friends... coming for the cumin and the event.

The other is a fishing friend and businessman, who is in the food business.

His first purpose for coming to the event to get to know Cumin and to make friends is by fishing. It would be great if he could negotiate cooperation by the way.

The last three of the seven are naturally real fishing friends and fans.

Even if the number of places was speculated at sky-high prices on the Internet that day, they never made a move.

3+3.

In total, there are six true fans out of ten...

Count seven, Xie Yongxing is his own prize, and he is also a fisherman...

You can't think that people's motives are not pure just because they are businessmen, right?
Seven out of ten, Ji Ran is quite satisfied with this ratio.

If the ratio were reversed, then he would lose interest in the activity.

It's completely changed.

If so, he will cooperate with the activities with a coping attitude.

Fortunately, there are still seven real fans.

And the other three seemed to be pretty good people.

……

Everyone and Ji Ran were chatting enthusiastically.

Individual photos, group photos, etc. are definitely indispensable.

As time passed, the sky became brighter.

A young lady's staff cooked hot noodles, plus the porridge, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, shaomai and soy milk that Tong Jie, a poor man, was sent to the town to buy.

The breakfast is simple yet rich.

"Everyone, let's eat. After we finish eating, let's prepare and then pinch the fish."

Ji Ling invited everyone to come and eat.

The staff are busy with their own while eating.

The others waited in groups of three or five, chatting and working.

Wang Haiqiang and Xie Yongxing got together, the two old men were not very different in age, and they chatted quite speculatively.

Xie Yongxing was handling a fried dough stick and asked with great interest, "Brother Wang, how many are the biggest catches you have ever caught while fishing in our hometown of Qingjiang?"

Comrade Lao Wang had already eaten breakfast, drinking hot soy milk to warm his stomach, and replied proudly, "It must be a few hundred catties."

Xie Yongxing was surprised, "So many?"

Wang Haiqiang raised his eyebrows and said, "A few more, or more."

Xie Yongxing said, "Excellent, what kind of fish did you catch?"

Wang Haiqiang said, "All grass carp!"

Xie Yongxing understood, "You are using the cumin grass carp bait."

Wang Haiqiang nodded with a smile, "That's for sure."

Xie Yongxing's eyes were full of envy, "I really envy you, you are Curan's teacher, and you want to use God's bait, just a few words..."

Wang Haiqiang looked proud.

Xie Yongxing started complaining, "Poor me, I watch every time 'Cumin' broadcasts live, and participate in every lucky draw regardless of whether there is a threshold... and there is 'Master Meng', 'Tong Yan Rihua' over there... What's so annoying is that he has never been hit..."

Once the old man complained, he couldn't stop the rhythm.

"You don't know, almost all my relatives and friends' homes now use 'children's face daily care' toiletries... I give benefits to employees, and they also give out 'children's face daily use' products, or It's the other goods from the 'Cumin' studio..."

His complaints immediately resonated with many fans.

They gathered around and spoke one after another.

"Isn't my situation the same? Since I fell into the trap of 'cumin', not to mention my own family, the benefits paid to company employees, and the supply channels, regardless of other considerations... I am just annoyed that I have not been baited."

"Not to mention the daily use, but the skin care products and cosmetics of my wife, sister-in-law and mother-in-law are all 'childlike'...but I have never been baited."

"Hehe, I bet none of you have consumed more in the live broadcast room of 'Cumin'...but no matter how much you spend, this master is not panic, because this master opened a small store, at worst, he will sell it at the original price Just go... It's just that this master has never caught the bait!"

"Actually, I think, 'Cumin' doesn't need to bring this brand or that single product every show, but to set up a real live broadcast supermarket that sells everything, including aunt towels, avoiding Taotao, and other adult products... "

"Hey, I think the 'Cumin' show can really try to have an aunt's towel special."

"The special sale on adult supplies is also good."

"..."

All of a sudden, a "Tucao Conference" started, and the more ridiculous it became.

Principal Wang can tell that the real 'cumin powder' has a love-hate relationship with 'cumin'.

I can't help but sigh in my heart: It can make fans love and hate it, but they are also rushing to dig into their pockets, fearing that they will be too late... The "cumin" on the Internet is probably a scorpion, and it is poisonous (only).

……

Meng Kai and Tang Guangwei didn't participate in the complaints. The two discussed the Tao over tea, as if they had met each other and had a good time talking.

Wu Donglai didn't get involved, and he seemed to be quite happy chatting with Liu Wenjing.

Ji Ran and Dou Hua both had breakfast, and the father and daughter came to the lake.

It was getting brighter.

In the morning light, the lake is quiet and clear, and the calm water surface is full of mist.

The lake shoreline in this area is straight, and a fishing position is built every four or five meters, a total of about twenty.

The father and daughter walked along the shore of the lake.

Ji Ran said, "Girl, there will be a fishing competition later, are you confident to win?"

Douhua put his hands in his pockets and shook his head, "They are all adults, I can't compare to them."

Ji Ran smiled, "Dad just asked you if you want to win."

Little Douhua frowned, her fighting spirit was high, "Of course I want to win."

"Okay, that is to have the fighting spirit of fighting for the first place."

Ji Ran touched her head approvingly, and her thoughts changed...

He took out a bag of powder from the large pocket of the sweater, and whispered mysteriously, "Take this, and add it to the bait when you open the bait later."

"Dad, what is this?" Douhua asked doubtfully without answering.

Ji Ran said seriously, "This is a good thing. Adding it to the bait makes fishing the same as fishing."

Douhua pouted, "Then I used it, isn't it cheating?"

Ji Ran disagreed, "Hey, as long as you can get first place, you can cheat."

Douhua retorted, "How can I do that! Cheating is so embarrassing and unfair to others, so I don't want to cheat...I want to win the first place with my real skills!"

Ji Ran reasoned with her, "But you are still young, you can't get the first place with your skills?"

Dou Hua's immature face was very determined, "If you can't get the first place, you can't get the first place. Anyway, even if I get the bottom one, I won't cheat."

Ji Ran looked at his daughter and smiled gratifiedly.

The daughter is becoming more and more able to distinguish right from wrong, and has her own opinions more and more.

"Yes, my dear, you are doing the right thing. You must be honest and aboveboard... If you want to get first place, we have to rely on our strength. If we don't have this strength, we will practice hard..."

Douhua’s ideological education and three-view shaping class are in progress...
