The company Wang Xiaoqiang found that supplied Reeve's Shad Fish Fry is called Funong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

He chose this company because it was located in the Provincial Capital. Once, while delivering goods in the area, he had stumbled upon it by chance.

It looked quite large in scale.

Wang Xiaoqiang, using the customer service number provided online, called the company and asked about the prices of the shad fry, which turned out to be lower than he had imagined.

The next day, he rushed to the Provincial Capital to buy fish fry, as it was also the delivery day for Dihao Hotel Grand Hotel. He loaded up his truck with Wild Mountain Eggs, filling it with seven thousand eggs as per Wang Dakui's request.

Upon arrival at the Dihao Hotel Grand Hotel, after unloading the eggs, the straightforward Wang Dakui, who never liked formalities, handed Wang Xiaoqiang a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes and mentioned that he wanted to treat him to lunch.

After interacting for a while, the two had become quite familiar, just like old friends. Seeing that Wang Dakui wanted to treat him, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Why the sudden invitation, is there some good news?"

"No good news, just want to discuss something with you," Wang Dakui, who always spoke directly, wasn't good at beating around the bush, so he got straight to the point, "Your eggs are becoming increasingly popular at the hotel and we don't have enough. Could you deliver an extra thousand eggs every week?"

"Sure!" Wang Xiaoqiang agreed readily. The production at the chicken farm had been increasing, and he could meet this request. However, he also made a request at this time, "I've just dug a pond and am going to start fish farming, which might keep me even busier, so I will only be able to deliver goods to you every half a month…"

"Every half a month…" Wang Dakui hesitated, then had an idea, "How about this, Little Qiang, let's not trouble you, the big boss, to come personally anymore. I could send a vehicle to your chicken farm to pick up the goods. How does that sound?"

"Sure!" Wang Xiaoqiang had been waiting for this, and he quickly agreed. Honestly, the constant trips to the Provincial Capital to deliver eggs were not only costly in terms of fuel but were also a hassle. For a factory manager like him, it was almost like becoming a delivery driver.

His pheasant eggs were so popular that they certainly warranted the clients coming to pick up the goods themselves.

Moreover, this would save him both money and effort, and as the head chef of the hotel, Wang Dakui wouldn't be at a loss either since the hotel had both vehicles and personnel; having them pick up the goods wouldn't cost Wang Dakui a penny.

Right then, Wang Xiaoqiang left a business card with Wang Dakui, who could find the location simply by following the address on it.

Leaving the Dihao Hotel Grand Hotel, Wang Xiaoqiang then drove to the Junle Hotel. He relayed to Zheng Hua, the head chef there, how Wang Dakui had volunteered to pick up the goods himself. Zheng Hua was quick to catch on, agreeing even before Wang Xiaoqiang could suggest it, that their hotel would also pick up the goods themselves from then on.

Having resolved this issue, Wang Xiaoqiang drove to the Funong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., located in the business district of the Provincial Capital. Upon reaching the company's gate, he saw vehicles loaded with fish fry coming and going.

After driving into the company, he could see from a distance the variously sized square fish ponds densely packed together, covering an area of about fifty acres. Securing such a large piece of land within the business district of the Provincial Capital revealed the company's significant capabilities.

After parking his car, he headed to the office building and stated his purpose. The two sales staff at the reception desk seemed quite curious.

For the Fish Fry Company, the deep winter season was already the off-season for selling fish fry, and the sales of Reeve's Shad Fish Fry were even more sluggish.

Reeve's Shad have high requirements for water temperature, and now the daily minimum temperature is below freezing, even the adult fish can barely tolerate it, let alone the shad fry. Thus, even if there are experienced breeding households with insulated greenhouses, they would not choose to introduce fish fry in this season.

This was also why the price of Reeve's Shad Fish Fry was cheaper than usual.

No one had come to buy Reeve's Shad Fish Fry for a month, so when such a buyer suddenly appeared, the two sales personnel, a man and a woman, were curious. They sized up Wang Xiaoqiang and saw that he was just in his teens, which made them even more curious, thinking they had encountered a greenhorn.

Thereupon, the female salesperson revealed a complex smile, gently persuading, "Boss Wang, breeding Reeve's Shad Fish Fry in this season can be quite challenging! Have you considered it thoroughly…"

The female salesperson was quite thoughtful; she was considering not only for Wang Xiaoqiang but also for the company. The company's insulation facilities were naturally more sophisticated than those of the breeders. Even in the dead of winter, they could still ensure the safe growth of the shad fry.

Once sold, let's not mention the breeders' insulation facilities, the risks during the transport process alone were unavoidable.

If the fish fry died during the transport, it would be unclear who would bear the loss.

"I have considered it thoroughly, otherwise I wouldn't have come here," Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly.

Wang Xiaoqiang's response surprised the two salespeople, and they did not try to persuade him further. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was not purchasing many fish fry, the male salesperson immediately sealed the deal, "As long as you think there's no problem, we are, of course, willing to sell them to you. Please follow me…"

Wang Xiaoqiang followed the male salesperson to the front desk to place an order. His fish pond, covering two acres, could accommodate between one thousand to fifteen hundred Reeve's Shad Fish Fry. With the assurance of the Five Elements Spirit Spring, Wang Xiaoqiang ordered one thousand five hundred fish fry, at six yuan each, two yuan cheaper than during the peak selling season.

The total was nine thousand yuan.

After paying, Wang Xiaoqiang insisted on using his own truck for transport. The staff naturally had no objections, but they reminded Wang Xiaoqiang to be extra careful on the road.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang drove his truck to a fishpond covered by an insulated greenhouse. The staff filled a large insulated bag with water at about twenty degrees Celsius, then added the fish fry, and augmented the oxygen with an oxygenator for a few minutes before sealing the insulated bag. A large group of people carefully, very carefully, loaded the insulated bag onto the truck.

Watching the group of workers handle everything so cautiously still caused the Reeve's Shad Fish Fry to swim frantically in panic; Wang Xiaoqiang could appreciate the simplicity and difficulty of raising these fish.

They say women and children are challenging to raise, but it seems that Reeve's Shad are the hardest!

Finally, under the bizarre and concerned gaze of the workers, Wang Xiaoqiang drove away from the Fish Fry Company. In their opinion, introducing Reeve's Shad Fish Fry at this season was a sign of a brain lapse, a purely loss-inducing act.

After leaving Funong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for a while and gradually driving out of the Provincial Capital area, Wang Xiaoqiang stopped his truck on a deserted country road, got out of the vehicle, and walked around to the back. He then placed his hand on the insulated bag holding the fish fry.

Although only a short while had passed, the temperature of the water inside the insulated bag had dropped significantly. From the Provincial Capital to his hometown would take at least three hours' travel time. Considering the rate of temperature drop, it was estimated that half of the fifteen hundred fish fry might die before being released into the fishpond.

With a thought, he channeled Fire Element Spiritual Energy into the water bag, and within ten seconds, Wang Xiaoqiang felt the water temperature return to around twenty degrees, then he stopped the transfer of Fire Element Spiritual Energy.

To prevent the fish fry from dying on the road, Wang Xiaoqiang, with a thought, infused vibrant Wood Element Spiritual Qi into the water bag holding the fish.
