Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 186 186: Luo Dali's Fox

After dinner, Chen Xiao and Guo Zhengchang went to the study together.

While at the dining table, Chen Xiao thought about shrimp and also about Songtan dog meat.

The latter was something that brothers Chen Ding and Chen Xianzu hastily promoted to cover up a secret.

But no one expected that it would eventually become an industry in Songtan Town.

However, Chen Xiao wasn't interested in Songtan dog meat. He brought Guo Zhengchang to the study to talk about crayfish!

As a Reincarnator, Chen Xiao was very aware of how attractive these "three words" would become in the future.

Moreover, people in this era have already started to focus on these three words!

It's just that everything is still in its early stages.

So everything is still doable!

Just as Chen Ding and Chen Xianzu had Songtan dog meat, Chen Xiao wanted to create a Dongzhou crayfish!

Once successful, Chen Xiao was very clear this would be something that could both make money and benefit the local area.

However, after listening to all of Chen Xiao's explanations, Guo Zhengchang looked doubtful: "Crayfish? Can that kind of thing make it to the table? Does anyone eat it?"

For such doubts, Chen Xiao was not surprised at all.

Guo Zhengchang is the least representative of the masses!

So Chen Xiao wasn't in a hurry. After explaining it very seriously once more, he also extended an invitation:

"Elder Guo, if you have doubts, why not join me in taking a walk in the countryside tomorrow? The crayfish from June to August are the plumpest, and we can still catch the last batch now."

Because it was Chen Xiao's recommendation, Guo Zhengchang nodded: "Alright, then I'll go with you tomorrow. Is it in your hometown, Songtan Town?"

Chen Xiao is from Songtan Town, so the first stop would naturally be Songtan Town.

Even now, you can still see many young boys rolling up their pants to catch frogs and fish for crayfish in the fields, ponds, and riverbanks of his hometown.

"Yes, I'll take you to experience fishing for crayfish, processing crayfish, and cooking crayfish!"

"Alright, alright, then let's set out early tomorrow morning!" Guo Zhengchang also showed interest.

Chen Xiao nodded and jokingly asked, "Do you want me to contact the leaders of Lanshan County?"

Guo Zhengchang immediately became serious: "If you dare to contact them, I'll turn and leave! It hasn't been easy to have a chance to experience rural life, and if you play that trick on me, I'll beat you even if I have to use a cane!"

Chen Xiao laughed heartily and quickly admitted his mistake.

But soon, Chen Xiao became serious again.

In tonight's conversation, he could tell that Guo Zhengchang was deliberately using Zong Yuanmao to start the topic.

In fact, Guo Zhengchang also had some questions about the Guo Family's business.

Chen Xiao didn't know why such a big shot like Guo Zhengchang would trust him so much.

But since the person was being so nice to him, Chen Xiao thought it might be a good idea to share some opinions and make money together!

After thinking about it, Chen Xiao opened the notebook computer on the desk by himself and then searched for a piece of news.

Guo Zhengchang saw: "First auction in Shencheng City? Buying land!"

"That's right, doesn't the Guo Family also engage in this field? The Guo Family's enterprise is fully capable of such financial power. If you intend to cultivate Guo Qing, why not have him use the Guo Family's name to find Zong Yuanmao and visit Shencheng City together."

"Although entering now might be a bit late, good things are worth the wait!"

Guo Zhengchang squinted his eyes, carefully reading the news over and over again.

"So, how much are you expecting in terms of value from this?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "The Guo Family are the experts in this, so my expectations aren't important. You can fully have your people study it. I'm sure none of them would refuse, just remember to bring me along when the time comes. I'll support you with my entire fortune!"

Guo Zhengchang wasn't as relaxed as Chen Xiao.

He was very serious.

After carefully pondering again, he seriously said, "I will notify them to study it thoroughly."

"Mm, but you'd better hurry, time is money! In my view, there's still considerable room for growth! Even if others have already benefited, the leftover scraps are still a big cake!"

Guo Zhengchang nodded. Just then, Lin Xi called, and Chen Xiao excused himself to go outside the study to answer the call.

Once the call connected, Lin Xi immediately asked, "Hon, are you coming home tonight?"

"Not tonight, I was just discussing something with Elder Guo in the study. Tomorrow morning, he wants to go back to my hometown with me."

Hearing this, Lin Xi was very surprised: "Elder Guo is going to our home!"

"Yes, I talked with him about some business matters. He wasn't quite convinced, so I decided to take him for a walk around our home!"

"Really? What business are you talking about? Elder Guo is such a business magnate, tell me about it, and I'll decide whether to support you based on principle or stand by you in our marriage!"

Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment but still talked to Lin Xi about the crayfish business.

After listening, Lin Xi immediately responded: "That's great, I wholeheartedly support you, and warmly invite Elder Guo to our home for a good experience. I remember last year, Mom's cooked crayfish were delicious!"

The saying goes, when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, follow the dog.

Chen Xiao had a penchant for river delicacies, and so did Lin Xi.

But the difference is, Lin Xi liked fish and shrimp, while Chen Xiao had a thing for clam meat.

"When we get back tomorrow, I'll catch more and bring them to Dongzhou to cook for you," Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Lin Xi immediately refused: "No way, your cooking is terrible, not tasty at all."

"Don't worry, I've come up with a perfect recipe that will guarantee you'll enjoy it."

"Alright, I'll reluctantly trust you one more time. Um... hon, I can't talk now, I have to do some visits with Sister Liang."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but be helpless: "You haven't finished work yet?"

"No, there's a small case, and the deadline from above is tight, so we have to work overtime."

As Lin Xi spoke, Chen Xiao didn't want to disturb her, so he responded and hung up the phone.

He knew Lin Xi said it was a small case but, in fact, she didn't want him to worry.

But now the Hongshan Branch is full of talent, and Lin Xi, by investigating with them, could not only improve herself but maybe even earn some credit.

Putting down the phone, Chen Xiao didn't go looking for Guo Zhengchang again.

When he went downstairs, he saw Luo Dali and Dao sitting in the yard.

Both seemed deeply worried, holding beers in their hands but not drinking them.

Dao: "Brother Dali, what kind of people do you think women are?"

Luo Dali didn't hesitate: "Foxes."

Dao was puzzled: "Foxes? Why? Because they're attractive?"

Luo Dali shook his head: "Fool, women can be both attractive and unattractive, just like foxes."

"Then why do you say women are foxes? Don't foxes also have males? They're not all female."

"You're just ignorant. Seen 'The Investiture of the Gods'? Know Daji? What is Daji?"

"A fox."

"What did she eat?"

"Uncle Bi Gan's Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart."

"There you go, women love eating men's hearts!"

Dao tilted his head slightly, as if understanding, and nodded in agreement.

Luo Dali looked up at the starry sky, raising his beer in hand:

"Dao, your brother here is a man whose heart was eaten by a woman."

"Ah, Xiu'Er... Brother misses you, here's to... you, far away!"

Dao also lifted his beer bottle: "I... toast to the past, toast to... the woman who no longer believes in men!"

"Good brother, drink up!"
