Chapter 6 Additional Rewards: Wild Waters

Really?" Yun Zhongyang looked at Gu Kaiwen with excitement

No problem. In terms of taste, Gu Kaiwen is renowned for his fastidiousness.

It should be fine. Gu Kaiwen responded, "By the way, Master Yun, I also obtained the Little Mirror Lake. From now on, Little Mirror Lake will also belong to us."

... ...

Master Yun, I have already identified the key point of the issue

Office of the Management Committee of Xinghai Lake Nature Reserve

Gu Family Tea House

Thank you very much! Gu Kaiwen deliberately spoke with a Beijing accent as he left the Xinghai Lake Nature Reserve Management Committee amidst Chen Shining's laughter and scolding

As soon as Guihua fish meat entered his mouth, Gu Kaiwen displayed a look of uncertainty and surprise

Yun Zhongyang let out a sigh of relief, "I only hope that after that piece of forest recovers, our tea trees can return to normal."

Approximately twenty minutes later, two osmanthus fish were steamed to perfection in two separate steamers

Yun Zhongyang responded, "Young Master, I am quite happy. The old master has always favored Xiao Jinghu, alas!"

"Uh... Master Yun, what do you understand?" Gu Kaiwen asked curiously in response.

In addition to the tender and smooth texture, the delicate quality, and the light and refreshing taste, there is surprisingly not a trace of fishy flavor! Gu Kaiwen was immensely shocked in his heart, and furthermore, there is a subtle hint of sweetness, along with an indescribable freshness.

The straight-line distance between Xiao Jing Lake and Gu Jia Tea House does not exceed 200 meters, with Gu Jia Tea House located on the hillside of the back mountain of Xing Hai Lake, while Xiao Jing Lake is situated at the foot of the mountain

The young master, the explanation of the cloud's yang energy is indeed a matter of significance. As the ancients said, all things possess a spirit. Flowers, grasses, trees, and woods naturally have their own spirits. The destruction of the forest near our tea garden will certainly affect the surrounding flowers, grasses, and trees. Do you understand?

"Let us go, Master Yun, to take a look at Little Mirror Lake," Gu Kaiwen suggested

"Hehe, I think it has affected the feng shui of our Gujia Tea House!" Gu Kaiwen said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Upon mutual agreement, Gu Kaiwen will sponsor a reforestation fund of 50,000 yuan and pay the first installment of 30,000 yuan for the lease of Xiao Jing Lake

Congratulations to the Guardian for successfully acquiring a body of water! The manifestation of natural consciousness conveyed congratulatory messages in Gu Kaiwen's mind

This wild water area indeed has something special

The meat is tender and smooth, with a delicate texture, light and refreshing in taste, and even the belly of the fish has no off-flavors, making it an excellent specimen of wild osmanthus fish! Gu Kaiwen and the literature have given it high praise

"Good! Good! Really good!" Yun Zhongyang was momentarily overwhelmed with tears.

"Pleasant cooperation!" Chen Shining inquired, "By the way, Kaiwen, when will you transfer the relevant funds?"

Gu Kaiwen translated, "What you mean is that wild waters can transform artificially bred fish into wild-grown fish, right?"

After the review, Gu Kaiwen picked up his chopsticks again to another osmanthus fish, still selecting a piece of fish meat from the belly area.

"As a respectable university student, still believing in feng shui?" Chen Shining joked, "Feudal superstition is unacceptable. Alright, alright, you rascal, hurry back and quickly transfer the funds; I will help you resolve the feng shui issue"

What if the guardian raises more fish? Additionally, the wild waters have a growth enhancement effect. The wild waters require three days to take effect. Guardian, you can compare the taste difference of the fish in Mirror Lake before and after the wild waters take effect. The embodiment of natural consciousness reiterated.

Congratulations to the Guardian for receiving the gift of the 'Wild Waters' from the Natural Consciousness. The manifestation of Natural Consciousness has issued another reminder

"As long as your funds are received, at the latest within a week." Chen Shining asked curiously, "Why are you so concerned about this?"

Gu Kaiwen and Chen Shining clasped their right hands together, and Gu Kaiwen smiled as he said, "Director Chen, it is a pleasure to cooperate!"

Three days have swiftly passed, Gujia Tea House

Approximately one thousand meters to the southeast of our tea garden, about ten acres of forest land have been damaged, thereby affecting the feng shui of our tea garden. Gu Kaiwen once again brought up the notion of feng shui

In fact, according to the theory of natural consciousness manifestation, it is indeed the destruction of that area of forest that has disrupted the regional natural balance, resulting in a decline in the quality of tea produced by Gujia Tea House

Gu Kaiwen smiled and said, "Master Yun, rest assured, Director Chen and I have already discussed a solution. Within a week at most, the damaged forest area will be restored."

Master Yun... Gu Kaiwen looked at Yun Zhongyang with concern

Yun Zhongyang was personally frying tea when Gu Kaiwen walked in. Yun Zhongyang put a tea leaf in his mouth to taste it and muttered to himself, "Almost, just almost."

After Yun Zhongyang expounded on the theory that all things possess a spirit, he added, "Young Master, we should restore that piece of woodland"

Taking Xiaojing Lake as an example, if the guardians only use natural grass or agricultural crops to feed the fish, given the ecological environment of Xiaojing Lake, the wild aquatic environment will play a role, allowing the fish produced in Xiaojing Lake to fully meet the standards of fish grown in the wild

It seems reasonable to refer to this profound and enigmatic natural balance as Feng Shui, does it not

The statement made by the guardian is inaccurate. Taking Xiaojing Lake as an example, to be precise, if the guardian were to transform Xiaojing Lake into a completely artificial aquaculture base, using synthetic feed for cultivation, even with the presence of wild aquatic environments, it would be impossible to convert the artificially cultivated fish into wild fish. The manifestation of natural consciousness provides a more specific explanation of the situation

Gu Kaiwen nodded seriously, as if he truly believed it

Yun Zhongyang quickly retorted, "Where is the problem?"

Two osmanthus fish, both sourced from Xiao Jing Lake, one was caught by Gu Kaiwen three days ago, while the other was just caught. To ensure the original flavor, Gu Kaiwen chose the cooking method of steaming, purely steaming, with no other seasonings besides salt

Eh?

In less than five minutes, Gu Kaiwen and Yun Zhongyang stood by the shores of Little Mirror Lake. Even under the blazing sun, the gentle breeze blowing from the lake, combined with the shade of the trees along the shore, made it feel far from hot

Gu Kaiwen silently questioned in his mind, "What is a wild water area?"

Gu Kaiwen has already understood the reasons for the decline in tea quality, but regarding the matters of natural consciousness and its manifestations, he has secretly decided to keep them to himself.

The Wild Waters is a magical realm that can endow the creatures of the corresponding waters with wildness. For instance, if the guardian breeds fish in Little Mirror Lake, they will possess greater wildness in the Wild Waters, the embodiment of natural consciousness responded.

Gu Kaiwen took them out one by one, and he first tasted the osmanthus fish that he had caught three days ago

"No later than 6 PM tomorrow," Gu Kaiwen responded, then added a question, "Director Chen, when will you be able to complete the replanting of the damaged conservation forest?"

Gu Kaiwen nodded, "Indeed."

Gu Kaiwen personally cooked, preparing two steamed osmanthus fish

"Ten acres of forest land have been affected?" Yun Zhongyang furrowed his brow, "I see, I see! I understand now!"

Gu Kaiwen remarked, "The fish in Xiaojing Lake are originally wild fish"

If there are changes in the taste perception of the fish in Xiaojing Lake, he will definitely be able to detect it
