Chapter 573 - 272: New Intelligence: Profitable Lands, Five Sons Inheriting Pill, and a Daughter’s Wish!

Jiang Tao was amused by what his Little Cotton Padded Jacket just said.

This morning, he had given Old Lü four fish that he got from the [Nine Fish Painting].

The group had already eaten three of them before he arrived.

At least they had some conscience, and left one for him, so he wouldn’t have to miss out on tasting it altogether.

"Honey, hurry up and try it, this fish is so delicious."

While Xu Li was speaking, her beautiful eyes were glued to the last fish on the table, clearly savoring it and wanting more.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Jiang Tao poked the fish’s back with his chopsticks, picked off a chunk of meat, and slowly chewed it in his mouth.

Ultimate freshness, a unique aroma, and super tenderness!

Although the way this fish was prepared wasn’t as refined as what you’d get in some big restaurants,

and maybe the spices weren’t as complete as in those places,

there was no doubt—this was the best fish Jiang Tao had ever tasted. No exceptions!

The Delicious +3 attribute definitely lived up to its reputation!

"This fish is definitely fresher and more fragrant than normal fish, tastes really great!"

After finishing his mouthful of fish, Jiang Tao was full of praise, a look of total satisfaction on his face.

Lü Qian chimed in excitedly:

"Xiao Jiang, where did your friend catch this fish? Tomorrow your dad and I have to go and catch a couple with you! This fish is so delicious, I could eat it every day and never get tired of it!"

Xu Wencheng added, "I’ve been eating fish for decades, and I’ve never tasted carp this good."

"This fish is really better than any I’ve had before."

"Mmhmm, super tasty~ Even the fish soup is delicious."

Everyone at the table had already eaten three of the fish together before Jiang Tao got back, and after tasting that fish, they all wouldn’t stop raving about it.

"When he gave it to me, I didn’t really think much of it, so I didn’t ask any details."

"He said a friend gave it to him, and he shared a few with me."

Since Jiang Tao absolutely couldn’t tell them about the [Nine Fish Painting], he just made something up to brush it off.

Luckily, nobody here was the type to dig and dig for an answer—hearing Jiang Tao’s explanation, they dropped it and continued with the meal.

No doubt about it, out of all the dishes on the table, the first one to be wiped out was the last big carp with the Delicious +3 attribute.

While eating, Jiang Tao was already thinking about how to maximize the profit from these carp.

The [Nine Fish Painting] produces nine fish per day—five are Red Carp with Ornamental +3, which can be sold as fancy pet fish,

and four are regular black carp with Delicious +3 attribute.

No matter how tasty something is, you can have it once or twice, but you can’t actually eat fish every single day!

Of course, if Xu Li and the others want it every day for now, that’s fine too.

For the moment, Jiang Tao didn’t have any good ideas.

Plus, he didn’t actually have that strong a thirst for making money these days.

So he wasn’t in any rush to cash in on the [Nine Fish Painting].

If he couldn’t figure it out, he just didn’t bother thinking about it.

After all, he had plenty of other ways to make money—it’s not like he needed to rely on a couple of fish.

He had so many friends and family around, and even those fish weren’t enough to share with everyone.

The meal lasted from a little after 7 p.m. all the way until a bit past 8.

Once everyone was stuffed, they broke into groups in the living room and chatted for a while.

Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xu, and Old Lü made up one group.

The three old guys played and clicked their way through a round of Chinese chess, chatting away the whole time.

The conversation, as it always did, gradually circled back to their sons, sons-in-law, and their much younger friend Jiang Tao.

"Back when Jiang Tao started dating our Lili, I just knew he was going places."

"What do you think? Pretty sharp eye, right?"

These days, Xu Wencheng had kicked off the second spring of his career by following Jiang Tao’s lead.

He could earn way more than when he was working full-time, just by doing what he enjoyed each day.

And soon he was even going to have another kid and be a dad again in his old age.

You know what they say—good things put you in a good spirit. Xu Wencheng honestly felt ten years younger all over.

"Hahaha, exactly! And whose son do you think he is!"

"Our second son has always been more capable than his big brother and little sister, even as a kid. I’m not surprised at all that he’s accomplished so much!"

Jiang Wen also couldn’t help but praise his second son.

He and his wife had suffered plenty in the past, but now it was finally their turn for a good life.

A big house fully paid for in Beijing, over a million in the bank,

plus, between them, they pulled in over 30,000 yuan a month in pensions.

Compared to last year, life was just worlds apart!

The two of them no longer had to worry about money, or about their retirement at all.

Their mindset was totally relaxed now—they’d started to appreciate the simple joys of life, to see even more of the everyday beauty all around them.

On top of that, most of the employees at Jiang’s Food Factory had been recruited from Jiang Family Manor.

So people were always buttering up Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei, giving them all the emotional value any old couple could want.

Happiness—well, this was probably exactly what it looked like.

"Haha, Xiao Jiang is one blessed kid, a real dragon among men~"

"It’s just the beginning now, but mark my words, he’s got even bigger things ahead!"

"Check!"

Old Lü had nothing but praise for his young friend Jiang Tao as well.

"Huh? Check? But...Jiang Tao isn’t a soldier."

"Hahaha, Old Xu, don’t take everything back to your Jiang Tao! I mean I’m checking Old Jiang’s king—on the chessboard, that’s a check!"

"Hahahaha, I was wondering about that..."
