Xianyuan Farm

The Australian winter sea breeze blew on my face without feeling the slightest bit of coldness.

There were several deck chairs, several parasols, and a burning grill on one side. Mei Ning and her parents sat on the chairs, watching everyone show their talents on the beach.

That's right. Since buying the farm near the sea, Gu Hongyu now owns a farm area of ​​more than four square kilometers. After sorting out the general clues of the matter, he began to be a hands-off shopkeeper again, leaving everything to Lin Feiyu to handle. The reason is that the more capable you are, the more work you can do. Only when you handle more things can you reflect the latter's talent.

Now, under the instigation of Chen Luofeng and his brothers, a large family took the outdoor barbecue equipment and went straight to the peaceful beach.

When they came here, some fished, some picked up shells, and some caught crabs. Those who didn't even have to do these had to go to the grassland to collect wild vegetables. Everyone had already planned that lunch at noon today would be completed on this beach.

"Hongyu, what are you doing over there? Hurry up and get the bucket over here. I caught a big fish." Liang Qinghui, who has poor fishing skills, is very good at commanding people.

"Brother Liang, the fish in this sea have made an appointment with you. It's rare to catch one fish at ordinary times, but today you have caught four or five fish, right?" Chen Luofeng and his gang of brothers knew Gu Hongyu's fishing skills. With him around, they would not let him get the fishing rod and could only do odd jobs on the side. Anyone who had something to do could yell at him and command him.

"Haha, I'm a real person who doesn't show his face. You really thought I was not good at fishing because of my previous humility." Liang Qinghui said very proudly after unhooking a sea fish similar to yellow croaker weighing four or five pounds from the fishhook.

This made Gu Lin unhappy: "Brother Liang, when did you learn to be a real person who doesn't show your face? It's not that you are in a good position. If someone else catches more fish than you, do you believe it?"

When receiving the fishing rods, Liang Qinghui took advantage of his height and strength to grab a pair first. Then he immediately went to the coast and took a good position. There was a small backwater bay in front of him. In this case, there are usually fish hiding under the seawater to avoid the wind and waves.

In addition, Gu Hongyu added some diluted space spring water to the bait, and the sea fish that smelled the smell rushed to take the bait.

Liang Qinghui naturally knew this situation, but he refused to exchange positions with him after being mentioned by Gu Lin. For a while, everyone began to focus on fishing again.

Gu Hongyu smiled and was about to put the fish in the bucket into the fishing net. As a result, Jiang Zhe, who was standing a little far away from them, suddenly shouted: "Damn, I'm afraid I caught a big fish. Good guy, I can't bear it. Come and help me."

Gu Hongyu looked closely and saw that Jiang Zhe's fishing rod was almost bent to 90 degrees at this time.

He rarely fishes, and this is his first time to fish in the sea. Seeing this, Gu Hongyu hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, lay the fishing rod flat and don't force it against the fish in the sea. Let go..."

If it is really a fish of 20 or 30 kilograms, the force is not small. If people are not careful, the fisherman will be dragged into the water. At this time, it is unknown who is fishing whom

Gu Hongyu remembered that when he was a child, a fisherman on the Yangtze River encountered this situation. The Yangtze River used to fish. One person plugged several fishing rods, and there were even more than ten.

At that time, a fisherman named Li had good luck that day. He caught many river fish in succession, but something happened when he was too happy. Just when he was taking the fish from the hook, another fishing rod suddenly moved. No one thought it was a big fish. As a result, the fisherman surnamed Li, along with the fishing rod and the living person, were dragged into the river by the force. If it were not for the help of other fishermen nearby, I am afraid there would be a tragedy.

Without going into too much detail, Jiang Zhe had no experience in catching such a big fish. Gu Hongyu dropped the bucket and took a few steps over. He grabbed the fishing rod that was about to break free from his hand and held it firmly. In an instant, the fishing line on the fishing rod spun rapidly. After about ten or twenty meters of line, the fish in the sea struggled much less.

Now he officially entered the stalemate stage with the fish. Gu Hongyu took over Jiang Zhe's fishing rod. When the fish struggled hard, he would let out a section of fishing line, but when the fish was not struggling particularly, he would quickly reel it in.

The situation at this time was exactly the same as Mao Zedong's theory of the War of Resistance. The principle of "the enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy retreats, we advance; the enemy is weak, we fight" was adopted. We should be patient and not act too hastily.

After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, the fish in the sea still did not give up struggling. It must have realized that if it did not struggle to the death today, it would be a tragic end. However, during the stalemate, it had already seen what was caught on the other end of the fishing line.

The coral trout, translated into Chinese as the red trout, is considered by many foodies to be the most delicious fish in Australia. It is a freshwater fish that swims upstream, but it returns to the sea in June and July every year, and its weight is generally about ten kilograms.

I didn't expect that Jiang Zhe, a novice, would catch a fish weighing at least twenty kilograms in his first sea fishing trip.

I have to say that this guy is too lucky.

After another ten minutes of stalemate, Gu Hongyu gently dragged the already weak red trout to the shore, and then someone on the side had already prepared a net bag to scoop up the red trout, and then the two of them lifted it up.

"Damn, this one fish is enough for us to eat at noon today." Chen Ming said happily as he looked at the red trout.

Gu Lin glanced at Liang Qinghui and started to attack him again, saying, "Oh, who said he was a fishing expert just now? He caught three or five fish, but he couldn't catch one fish."

"Gulin, you are asking for trouble, at least I am better than you, you haven't caught any fish yet," Liang Qinghui said disdainfully.

"Okay, both of you stop talking, I think it's almost time, let's prepare lunch together, Lao Liang and Jiang Zhe go to cut the fish, Gulin and Chen Ming clean up the things here." Chen Luofeng spoke at last.

And Gu Hongyu was naturally arranged to grill the fish. Now his cooking skills are the best here, plus putting some space spring water in the food, the taste of the food is particularly memorable.

Soon Mu Kang and his friends who were collecting wild vegetables came back, and Sun Chao and his friends also caught five or six sea crabs that were still holding their big claws to show off. Yang Bo was also lucky, and encountered a few oysters when he saw shells on the beach. Basically, all the ingredients for frying, steaming and boiling at noon were ready.

It was the first time for Gu Hongyu to grill fresh fish. In fact, the fishy smell in the seawater is quite strong, but after soaking in the space spring water and adding some chili flavor brought by Huaxia, the grilled fish was unexpectedly favored by everyone.

Soon. There were five sea fish weighing several kilograms as grilled fish, and the rest were cooked with pickled peppers, oysters for soup, sea crabs for steaming, plus a few stir-fried wild vegetables and beef brought from home. More than ten people were very satisfied with this meal.

At first, my parents thought that it was only a few steps from here to the farm home, and it would not take much time to get the ingredients and take them back to cook. But looking at what Gu Hongyu made after a while, the atmosphere of sitting around on the beach to eat food had a different feeling.

"Hongyu, every time we come to Australia in the future, you have to treat us like this." Liang Qinghui started planning the next itinerary before the meal was finished.

Gu Hongyu smiled and said, "Just forget it. If the farm behind me wasn't all mine, we would probably attract people from the Marine Fisheries Department if we were sitting here now."

In Australia, sea fishing also requires a license, and there are special requirements for the fish species to be fished. For the rational development of marine resources, some fish have not grown to a certain length, and even if they are caught, they must be thrown back into the sea.

Speaking of fishing licenses, this is still very interesting. This kind of certificate has an expiration date.

Choose how long you want to buy a license, there are, 7 yuan for 3 days. 14 yuan for 1 month, 35 yuan for 1 year, 85 yuan for 3 years. When you choose this, he will ask you when you will go fishing. The date is calculated from the day you go fishing.

There is nothing else to say.

By the way, there is safety. Generally, sea fishing requires safety ropes and non-slip shoes.

However, the environment here on Gu Hongyu's side is not complicated, even if there are not many sea fish. But the existence of space springs can also attract some.

For this fishing trip today, Gu Hongyu consulted with the familiar Henry of the Agriculture Department. He learned that he had a friend in the Marine Fisheries Department. Because they did not have time to apply for a fishing license, they were particularly kind to let Gu Hongyu and his friends go fishing this time, but they would have to apply for a new fishing license in the future.

As for the cost of the fishing license, even the cost of a three-year validity period is not expensive, so Gu Hongyu directly planned to apply for a three-year license. If there is a cruise ship in the future, he can go fishing at sea. Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu had the urge to buy a cruise ship immediately.

The food for lunch was basically swept away by everyone, and Mei Ning found a bag to collect the remaining garbage.

Not to mention that Australia has strict protection of beaches, even if this piece of beach is basically their exclusive use in the future, Gu Hongyu has to raise the awareness of protecting the environment.

In the afternoon, one person moved a chair or air cushion to the beach, with a parasol on his head, and enjoyed the sunbathing on the beach.

Gu Hongyu squinted a little, and when the sunlight on the top became stronger, he sent his older parents and pregnant Mei Ning home.

Waiting for him to return to the beach again, Chen Luofeng and his gang actually went into the sea one by one.

Seeing this, Gu Hongyu took off his outer clothes and pants without hesitation, ran to the beach, and let the sea slowly swallow him up, leaving only his head exposed.

This beach is nothing to say.

For Australia, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a more prestigious Gold Coast next to it, so this beach has been forgotten.

But if it existed in China, it would probably have been remembered by developers and created various profitable places.

It’s still good here, such a large beach can be enjoyed by more than ten people.

Gu Hongyu decided that even if he developed this place in the future, he must control the flow of people entering, and never allow it to be too crowded.

A slightly larger wave rushed over, and Gu Hongyu disappeared in the sea.

Chen Luofeng and others also knew Gu Hongyu’s swimming skills, and they didn’t worry about him at all. Sure enough, not long after, Gu Hongyu showed his head from the sea fifty meters away.

I have to say again that Australia's marine protection is in place.

Gu Hongyu dived into the sea and opened his eyes to clearly see things within five meters around him in the sea.

The light refracted by the sun in the shallow sea water was twisted into a myriad of strange lines, some forming golden edges, and some forming various strange shapes. Many small sea fish roamed in this clean sea water, watching Gu Hongyu, a strange creature approaching, and fled in panic.

The gravel under the sea water was pure silver-white. With the turbulence of the sea water, the fine sand at the bottom was constantly lifted up, but soon sank back. There was almost no excess silt and sediment here.

In addition to the clear sand, there are many reefs scattered on the seabed. It may be that this is a shallow water area that receives sunlight all year round. Various colorful seabed plants grow on and around the reefs, which become the last shelter for the fleeing fish.

Gu Hongyu is very satisfied with the situation in this sea area. He observes the activities of various creatures on the seabed. He always feels a little excited. This sea area does not belong to him yet, but his farm is right next to it, and the right to use it is in disguise owned by him.

Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu decided to find Hendry next time when he has time and ask his friend in the Marine Fisheries Bureau whether he can buy this sea area together. In the future, he will not only have a farm in Australia, but also an ocean. What a heroic thing

Suddenly, Gu Hongyu passed through a seabed reef on the seabed. There were also bright colors on it, but this was not all that attracted him. Instead, on the reef, Gu Hongyu found bright red corals growing on it.

It was obviously a coral reef.

After taking a breath from the sea, Gu Hongyu returned to the reef.

As he got closer to the coral reef, the red coral appeared more clearly in front of him.

In the past, he had seen many artworks made of naturally grown red corals on TV, which were already dazzling, but at this moment, the cluster of red corals on the reef made Gu Hongyu feel more shocked.

For a moment, Gu Hongyu was a little obsessed with the red coral in front of him.

Just when he felt suffocated, there was a sound of large-scale splashing water above, and through the obstruction of the sea water, he also heard the voice of someone anxiously calling his name.

Without thinking, Gu Hongyu rushed to the surface of the water with the buoyancy of the sea water. As soon as he emerged, someone shouted: "I saw Hongyu, here again"

"Damn, Hongyu, what's wrong with you, we haven't seen you for at least ten minutes"

"It's so scary."

Chen Luofeng asked with some intention: "Hongyu, what did you find under this sea water?"

Gu Hongyu smiled at everyone: "Good stuff, I found a red coral reef" To be continued
