The Tian Yu, known for its exquisite taste and high price, has always been a prized delicacy in Jianghe. In the past, some villagers from Chen Family Village attempted to raise Tian Yu, but due to inadequate farming techniques, they incurred significant losses and no one dared to try again.
At this moment, as Chen Xuan looked at the two Tian Yu in Chen Dayong's hands, he suddenly felt that a golden opportunity to lead the villagers of Chen Family Village towards prosperity was right before him.
Chen Dayong keenly noticed Chen Xuan's gaze. Seeing Chen Xuan staring intently at the Tian Yu, he mistakenly thought that Chen Xuan was simply hungry for the fish. He readily handed the Tian Yu over to him, saying, "Here! Take them and eat! I have plenty more in my fields!"
"Oh?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow at this. He looked at Chen Dayong in surprise and asked curiously, "Uncle, have you started raising Tian Yu again?"
"No!" Chen Dayong chuckled awkwardly. "My skills are too poor. Raising Tian Yu looks easy, but it’s not. I've tried for many years without being able to scale up production. I've long given up on that; now I just keep a few in my field for personal consumption. When I'm hungry, I catch one."
Chen Xuan nodded upon hearing this. This situation reflected the current state of not only Chen Family Village but also most of Changfeng County. No one had yet succeeded in large-scale farming of Tian Yu without compromising the quality of the meat.
Currently, small-scale farming by individual households was still the norm for raising Tian Yu. After pondering for a moment, Chen Xuan gained further insight into Rice Field Fish Farming. He considered it and then accepted the two Tian Yu that Chen Dayong offered him, sincerely saying, "Uncle, I actually need two Tian Yu for an experiment right now. I'll take these two."
"Don't be polite, just take it!" Chen Dayong waved his hand generously. Last time, he made a small fortune selling watermelons from Chen Xuan's farm. He had been looking for a chance to repay Chen Xuan, and now he finally found one.
Two Tian Yu? What’s that to worry about! As long as Chen Xuan asked, he could easily catch all the Tian Yu from his fields and send them over! All he needed was for Chen Xuan to keep helping him succeed!
Chen Dayong chuckled, "Xiao Chen, if you ever come across a good opportunity to make money, remember to bring your uncle along! I have two sons at home; the pressure is quite high!"
Chen Xuan smiled back, "Don't worry, Uncle. There will be opportunities."
"Great! That's all I needed to hear!" With a wave of his hand, Chen Dayong left happily.
Chen Xuan nodded. He hadn’t realized that Chen Dayong was such a straightforward person, not one to drag things out. Perhaps they could continue to collaborate in the future.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xuan picked up the two Tian Yu and returned to Qing Xuan Farm. He found a wooden bucket and poured the Tian Yu out of the plastic bag before filling it with Holy Spirit Lake Water.
Under the magical influence of the lake water, the two red Tian Yu quickly regained their vitality and began to swim energetically.
Noticing Chen Xuan's actions, Jin Xiong had quietly approached without him realizing. He glanced at the wooden bucket and upon seeing the two small fish, he shrugged and walked away.
Ye Xiao also arrived. Upon seeing the two small fish, he made a face similar to Jin Xiong's and was about to leave when Chen Xuan called out to him.
"Ye Xiao," Chen Xuan said calmly, "when you regain your magical powers next time, I want you to find a way to optimize the genes of these Tian Yu."
Ye Xiao looked at Chen Xuan in surprise and asked, "My lord, what are you planning to do? Raise this fish?"
"Yes," Chen Xuan replied with a faint nod.
Ye Xiao scratched his head, puzzled. "But my lord, isn't there Silver Fish in the lake? The taste of that is incredibly delicious; isn't it better than this fish?"
