The fish pond was soon reached, and the two dismounted from the carriage.
Since her visit to Lin County, Xiaoxiao hadn’t been to the fish pond. She had only heard about it from Yang Ming, and seeing it with her own eyes was still a shock—the fish pond was almost completed.
Looking at it, it was no longer a mud pit but a vast source of water. Xiaoxiao felt the magic of nature as groundwater surfaced continuously. She really wanted to dive in and swim. It seemed that they needed to hurry up with the fish fry.
Han Yongsheng was also extremely surprised. Their fish ponds were naturally formed, and he hadn’t expected that a fish pond could be dug out .
Xiaoxiao ran towards the fish pond, so excited that she forgot Han Yongsheng beside her.
Yang Ming was sitting on the shore planning the follow-up work when he spotted his running wife. He quickly went to meet her. "Wife, what are you doing here? Who’s looking after our son?"
Yang Ming was all about their son these days, making Xiaoxiao occasionally jealous. "My sister came over; she’s watching him."
"Come on, I’ll show you around the fish pond."
As they walked towards the shore, they discussed enclosing the fish pond, raising ducks and geese there, building houses around it, hiring someone to watch over the pond, and many other subsequent steps.
Han Yongsheng, who had caught up, was speechless. Did he seem so insignificant that Young Master Yang had failed to notice him and his wife had completely forgotten him? Well, let those two keep chatting; he would check out the fish pond himself.
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming were discussing the fish fry when Xiaoxiao remembered Han Yongsheng.
"Oh right, Young Master Han came too, where is he?" Xiaoxiao looked left and right.
Yang Ming was used to his wife’s mannerisms. He hurriedly looked around and finally spotted Han Yongsheng not far off. They quickly approached him, and Yang Ming apologized, "Young Master Han, I’m sorry for neglecting you."
"It’s nothing, are you two finished talking?"
"" Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming were somewhat embarrassed by his comment.
"How are the plans for the fish fry coming along? I see the fish pond is ready, so it’s time to consider this," Han Yongsheng got straight to the point.
Han Yongsheng had been a great help in Lin County, and although it wasn’t he who found Xiaoxiao in the end, they were very grateful to him and had agreed to visit Yongan Fish Pond.
"Young Master Yang, I have made a genuine offer. Here’s the deal: we’ll provide the fish fry, and although you mentioned having fish farming techniques, perhaps ours are different, so we offer those too. Most importantly, our Han Family holds a major share of the county’s fish market. If we partner up, we can directly solve the issue of selling the fish. Regarding the revenue split, it would be thirty for us, seventy for you."
Han Yongsheng had indeed shown great sincerity, which pleased Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming. With the fish pond soon to be operational, they did not want to keep Han Yongsheng waiting. However, to be prudent, they still needed to inspect the fish pond before making a decision.
So Yang Ming said, "Young Master Han, you have indeed shown great sincerity. How about this: let’s set out for Lin County in two days to see your Yongan Fish Pond. If we find it satisfactory, we can sign the contract on the spot, and then I’ll send someone to learn fish farming techniques from you."
And so, the trip to Lin County in two days was settled.
