Two fish transport vehicles quickly entered the fishing pond, and that was when Yue Feng noticed a stocky middle-aged man walking out of the house. He was dressed in a hurdle vest and wore old Beijing cloth shoes. In his hand, he held a ledger with a leather cover.
If he was not mistaken, this man should be the owner of the fishing pond. He quickly approached and started to converse with the truck drivers.
In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, one of the truck drivers climbed onto the modified fish tank and scooped up a handful of fish with a large net.
In the net was a large carp weighing at least twenty pounds! Its scales were golden and its body was relatively slender, lacking the unattractive big belly that older farm-raised fish typically have.
The pond owner found a wet towel, gently wrapped it around the fish's gills and the back of its neck, and then tenderly cradled the fish's tail in his other hand to display the large carp to everyone.
