"There's nothing wrong with that. When you get older, genes start to activate automatically. For example, now, during the half-month period when our village sings a big opera, I like to join in the fun even if I have nothing to do. Don't tell me, I can also hum along now Hum a few words." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

Zhang Lan then commented: "This is true. Now is the time to listen to music. Sometimes I also search for opera selections and the like. Even piano music that I originally dismissed is now listened to when I have nothing to do. Listen, sometimes the classics that have been handed down are the classics.”

"Let's go this way? Let's go to my place to eat. I have everything. Can we have a drink?" Zhang Jialin said with a smile.

"No problem, I will listen to the boss today."

"I called my mother when I came out. She won't be at home for dinner." Zhang Lan said.

"Let's go then. The fish I just caught last night and the black goat's hind legs that someone sent me are very good." Zhang Jialin said with a smile.

"I heard last night, boss, that you caught a lot. I heard from the group that you even caught a big fish weighing more than 20 kilograms?" Zhang Hu said with some envy.

Zhang Jialin smiled from ear to ear, waved his hands humbly and said, "Luck, luck, fishing for that fish made me exhausted. It took me almost an hour to get the fish up. I'll go there again later." For fishing, I have to change to a better pole and line. I was so tired last night that I was sweating all over, for fear that the line or pole would break accidentally."

"You don't have to worry about this temporary boss. There are people watching your place 24 hours a day now. It won't be easy for you to go back there after you leave." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

"Eh... you people, you can't just rely on people to find a place to catch some fish. Zhang Lan, let me tell you, as for those fishing at the back of the reservoir, one by one, you can't rely on where you fish. A few fish. As long as you dare to move your butt, don’t expect to be ranked next time you go there.” Zhang Jialin couldn’t help complaining.

Zhang Hu was speechless: "Boss, you said this as if you were not such a person. Why didn't you say that you were taking someone else's place at that time?"

"I won't tell you." Zhang Jialin waved his hand to indicate that he would not listen.

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "It goes without saying, boss, you won't have to go fishing for at least half a year if you hook this big fish of more than 20 kilograms. This harvest will be enough for at least half a year."

"Half a year is not enough. The more you catch, the bigger it gets. After two or three years, maybe what the boss caught yesterday was a big fish weighing fifty or sixty pounds." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

In the house outside Zhang Jialin's pig farm, Zhang Lan and Zhang Hu were preparing vegetables. Zhang Jialin had to feed the pigs first, and then come over to cook.

"Can't you eat so much? How many people are there tonight? Is there anyone else except our third brother?" Zhang Hu looked at him and chopped it with a bone chopping knife, and then took the chopped thigh bone and prepared to eat it again. Chop it, Zhang Lan quickly dissuaded.

"It's not much. The three of us can't finish eating such a big bone." Zhang Hu shook the thigh bone in his hand and gestured to Zhang Lan, indicating that it really wasn't much.

Zhang Lan said speechlessly: "You won't have much if you just eat it. There is a fish here, and there are ribs and stir-fried pork over there. How big a belly can the three of us have."

"Then take another piece from the middle? This one more piece is not much. One person can only get two pieces at most." Zhang Hu gestured with the knife and said.

"That's a lot. How can we finish such a thing?" Zhang Lan said.

Zhang Jialin opened the door curtain and entered the room: "What can't be finished? It should be chopped. If you can't finish it, you can come back tomorrow."

"What Zhang Lan means is that if the bones are divided again, there will be fish and ribs. The three of us can't eat so much." Zhang Hu shook his arm and said.

"It's okay. Let's chop them all up. Let's stew them first. Then we can take them out piece by piece and eat them in a basin later. If we don't finish the food, what's left in the pot can be thrown away." Zhang Jialin didn't care. "Let's start the fire first. This thing will cook slowly, at least an hour and a half."

There were five stainless steel basins on the coffee table. Zhang Lan and Zhang Lan were sitting on the sofa nearby. Zhang Hu was holding a bottle of wine and observing the temperature on it, while observing something through the bottom of the bottle.

Zhang Jialin came out of the house carrying a stainless steel basin: "Okay, let's eat like this first, and finally get an induction cooker when it's cool. Then pour these vegetables into the pot and eat hot pot."

"Boss, your wine is quite old. Where did you get this wine?" Zhang Hu shook the wine bottle in his hand and began to unscrew the cap and prepare to pour the wine.

Zhang Jialin said with a smile: "How about it, you haven't seen this packaging before. Let's not talk about good wine or bad wine. This wine is almost forty years old now. One bottle will be consumed and one bottle will be lost."

"You haven't said where you got the wine yet. They are all grain wines, and all other wines are pretty much the same. But this vintage is so long, this drink must be good." Zhang Hu unscrewed the bottle cap and started quickly. After pouring the three wine glasses, he smelled the mouth of the bottle and took a deep breath.

"Come on, take a sip and taste it. You can't feel it just by talking about it." Zhang Jialin raised his glass.

"How about it?"

"It goes without saying that as long as it has not deteriorated after such a long time, it is absolutely good wine. Boss, where did you get this?" Zhang Hu asked.

"You know the old supply and marketing cooperative at the crossroads of our town, right?"

"I know."

"Isn't the house behind it demolished and ready to be rebuilt? This batch of wine was dug out of a warehouse in a small room. There were old wooden shelves piled outside, and more than a dozen boxes of wine were placed in the corner of the room. . Then several people in charge at the scene divided the points privately. I happened to be there at the time and got two boxes of wine." Zhang Jialin explained with a smile.

"And this luck? No one knew about reporting it later?" Zhang Hu said with some envy.

"What's there to report? There aren't many things, and it wasn't worth much at that time. It's just the grain wine we brewed locally. But it's a little older. Who would say anything after drinking it? Besides, this is just drinking. This year, you really think it is better than those fine wines that cost thousands of dollars to produce now."

Zhang Jialin didn't take it seriously. The old wine in his hand was originally a low-end local wine. After being popular in Canghe City for a while, it has long since disappeared. The old winery has been demolished long ago.

Now the few of them were picking up the groceries, digging out some old wine, and just took it away. No one would be so idle and boring to report something from decades ago. There is no use in reporting it. The old supply and marketing cooperative is no longer there, and these things are all treated as sundries.

"How many bottles are in this box? Boss, give me two bottles each." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

"What a big deal this is, Zhang Lan, do you want me to get you some too?"

Zhang Lan shook his head: "Just take a few sips when you get back. I don't need to take it. I don't drink it normally."

"Zhang Lan, you don't need to worry about him. If he wants to drink old wine, people will give it to him. If he doesn't want this kind of wine, please give me two bottles." (End of Chapter)
