"Mr. Su, nice to officially meet you. I'm Du Hongyi."
Seeing Su Mu approach, Du Hongyi took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Hello, Mr. Du."
"Mr. Su, the fish fingerlings you ordered are all in the truck. Would you like to take a look?"
"Sure."
Su Mu nodded and climbed onto the truck to inspect the vacuum bags containing the fish fingerlings. He noticed that one of the bags contained crucian carp.
"Mr. Du, I don't recall ordering any crucian carp fingerlings."
"Haha, Mr. Su, these are a gift from me. Since you're a friend of Mr. Li and a significant customer, I wanted to show my goodwill on our first transaction. Hopefully, we can do more business together in the future."
For Du Hongyi, these crucian carp fingerlings were a small gesture. He had learned from the village head that Su Mu had built a large reservoir. By showing goodwill now, he hoped Su Mu would think of him first for future fish fingerling orders.
"Mr. Du, I appreciate it, but I feel a bit embarrassed."
"Haha, no need to feel embarrassed, Mr. Su."
"Since you're here, let's head over to the reservoir to release the fingerlings. With this heat, they could easily die if we wait too long."
"Okay."
"Uncle Li, I'm taking Mr. Du to the reservoir now."
"Alright, go ahead."
Su Mu drove his pickup truck ahead, with Du Hongyi and his driver following behind. After about half an hour, they arrived at the man-made reservoir.
"Mr. Su, this reservoir is quite large."
"Yes, I plan to open a farm and will need a lot of water. I built the reservoir to be large enough to supply the farm and also provide water to the village during droughts."
Du Hongyi gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"Mr. Su, you have a good heart."
Maintaining good relationships in the village is challenging, with many people quick to gossip. Young people often prefer to leave the village, but Su Mu's reservoir would be a great help to the villagers.
Next, Du Hongyi and his driver unloaded the vacuum bags containing the fingerlings.
"Mr. Su, before releasing the fingerlings, the bags need to be placed in the water to acclimate the fish to the reservoir's temperature. After a few minutes, we can release them."
Du Hongyi explained the process to Su Mu, ensuring the fish would adapt to their new environment and reduce the risk of mortality.
"Got it, Mr. Du."
Following Du Hongyi's instructions, Su Mu placed the bags in the water. After a few minutes, he opened the bags and released the fingerlings into the reservoir.
Watching the fingerlings swim away, Su Mu smiled. He planned to feed them corn and grass, helping them grow quickly.
"Mr. Du, thank you for delivering the fingerlings. I'll definitely contact you for future orders."
"Haha, my pleasure, Mr. Su. If you need more fingerlings, just give me a call. I'll provide you with the best service and prices."
"Thank you, Mr. Du."
"You're welcome, Mr. Su."
Du Hongyi and his driver left, and Su Mu looked at his reservoir, now stocked with fingerlings. The next step was to get the farm fully operational. He planned to plant grass for the livestock, ensuring they had enough to eat even during bad weather. Excess grass could also be used to feed the fish.
"Should I add some spiritual spring water to the reservoir? It might help the fish grow faster and improve their quality."
Having accumulated a lot of spiritual spring water from live streaming rewards, Su Mu decided to add 3000 milliliters to the reservoir, saving 2000 milliliters for future use.
He went home, retrieved the bottles of spiritual spring water, and poured them into the reservoir.
"Shoushan, look at this reservoir. There are a lot of fish in here now. Once they've grown, we'll have plenty of fish to eat."
"Woof, woof!"
Shoushan, his dog, was excited, watching the fish fingerlings swim. If not for Su Mu holding him back, he might have jumped in. Su Mu decided he would allow Shoushan to swim in the reservoir once he was older.
