Wang Fan felt that today seemed particularly noisy.

"It's New Year's Eve, of course it's going to be lively!"

Hearing Second Uncle's words, Wang Fan then realized it was already New Year's Eve, no wonder everyone had such big smiles on their faces.

While tidying up the meat, Wang Fan said to Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, if possible, would you want to buy back the old house, or get a new one?"

Second Uncle paused for a moment and sighed, "You already know?"

Wang Fan chuckled, "I'm not a fool, I originally planned to take you around the country, but it's hard to leave our roots, now I think you might prefer staying at home."

Second Uncle immediately denied it, "Nonsense, I'd definitely like to go out and see the world."

"Stop putting on a brave face, I'm grown up now, your promises to my parents have long been fulfilled. You don't need to always be with me; do I look like a child who needs constant care? With my current earning ability, I could probably make the down payment within five days. When the time comes, I'll buy the house, you can live there, and I'll leave this pot of braised broth, so our Wang's Braised Pork will be rooted here. Whenever you want to go out and explore, just give me a call, and I'll come pick you up."

Perhaps they've spent so much time together that their memories have started to merge, and many things that were unclear before have gradually become clear.

"Besides, I'm an adult now, and the space in this car is so small, living in it together is somewhat awkward. Setting up a home for you here means I can also set myself free, haha."

Hearing this, Second Uncle chuckled in exasperation, "You little rascal, is there anything about you that I don't know? If you've grown so tall, it's because I raised you from diapers. And now you're feeling awkward with me around."

Despite his words, Second Uncle's mood visibly lightened up a bit.

Come to think of it, the big nephew is indeed already an adult. Even between biological father and son, at this age, they would need private space, let alone himself.

"Mainly, I can't rest easy with you running around the world. How about you find a place to settle down as well?"

Wang Fan shook his head, "The world is so big, I want to see it. Look at these people from the South, they had the courage to come to our Northeast. I, a seven-foot man, can't possibly be afraid to go see the South?"

...

"Boss, is the braised pork ready?"

Around 11 o'clock, Wu Qian, Lin Mu, and Zheng Yaoyang appeared again at the entrance of the RV.

Wang Fan, after checking the color and aroma, opened the window and replied, "Please wait another 5 minutes."

"5 minutes?"

The three of them were excited; arriving early wasn't as good as arriving just in time!

Though it was a morning market, because it was right across from Dashi Street, they actually served breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

At this moment, there were quite a few people strolling around the morning market looking for food. Seeing people starting to line up in front of Wang Fan's RV, their eyes lit up.

"There are people lining up for Wang's Braised Pork. Does that mean the braised pork is almost ready?"

"Probably, I think I can already smell the aroma of braised pork."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go line up."

"Hurry up, hurry up, or it'll be sold out again."

Within just two or three minutes, there were already over ten people standing behind Wu Qian and the others.

On New Year's Eve, there were fewer people from the South on the street; most of those in line were locals from Harbin, except for a few who decided to stay back and not go home for the New Year.

Wu Qian and Zheng Yaoyang were among those who stayed.

Lin Mu said with some anticipation, "Once we buy the boss's braised pork, I'll take you two to the Songhua River. We'll drill three holes and ice fish there. Ice fishing is great, the fish are so hungry they'll eat whatever you put, and they bite really well. I'm sure you two will have a great time fishing. Ice fishing while eating the boss's braised pork rice, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Wu Qian waved grandly, "Alright, you make the arrangements. If you need anything, just say it; Young Master Wu's got it covered. After we're done, you can leave it at your place and use it as you wish."

Lin Mu said, "If I use it as I please and it gets messy when you come back, don't blame me."

Wu Qian snorted lightly, "Young Master Wu never uses old stuff."

Before long, Wang Fan had prepared what the three of them wanted and placed it on the counter. Wu Qian settled the bill, and as they were leaving, Lin Mu asked Wang Fan, "Boss, are you making braised pork this afternoon and tomorrow morning too?"

Wang Fan nodded, "Usually around 5 in the afternoon, business as usual tomorrow."

Lin Mu was delighted, "Great, in the evening I'll have my dad come buy some to take home. It's not a proper New Year's Eve dinner without your big pork knuckle. I'll come back tomorrow morning to buy some to treat relatives, it'll definitely be impressive. We have a lot of relatives, should I reserve 10 pounds first?"

Wang Fan was initially worried about not selling much tomorrow, so hearing Lin Mu's words made him quite happy, "Sure, you can also tell me if you like anything else, and I'll see if I can make it."

Can you order dishes?

Lin Mu was immediately happy, "Pig ears! Beef tripe!"

Wang Fan nodded, "Alright, I'll check if there's any stock, and if there is, I'll make it tomorrow."

After saying this, Lin Mu took the items and happily left with Wu Qian and Zheng Yaoyang.

The three of them didn't take Wu Qian's Lamborghini, for one, it was too flashy, and secondly, it's convenient for showing off, but not much else.

On the way close to the Songhua River, there were many fishing gear and outdoor equipment stores, with a wealthy man like Wu Qian, they got whatever was good to use.

Ice fishing rods, tents, portable power, electric heaters, Vash stoves—all kinds of things, fully equipped.

Once they got everything, the three headed straight for the Songhua River.

At this time, the Songhua River had already frozen over with a thick ice layer, and every few dozen meters on the ice, there was a tent. Some places didn't have tents but still had people ice fishing, undeterred by the minus 20 degrees weather.

Lin Mu, who started ice fishing when he was a child, naturally took on the job of setting up.

He was quick with his hands and feet, finishing up in half an hour, then took out an ice drill to start drilling on the ice inside the tent. The ice drill pressed against the ice layer with increasing pressure, slowly drilling into the ice. As it drills deeper, a small round hole appeared on the ice layer. The ice shavings scattered around like snow cones.

Soon, the ice layer was penetrated, and after clearing out the ice chips, an ice fishing hole was complete.

Taking out the ice fishing rod, Lin Mu began to find the bottom.

They were looking for a depth of about 3 meters here, and soon Lin Mu adjusted the fish float.

"Young Master Wu, please go first."

Lin Mu motioned for Wu Qian, who was satisfied and let out a grunt as he took the fishing rod and started fishing like a lord.

Lin Mu and Zheng Yaoyang huddled together with their backs to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint it, until the aroma of meat wafted up, making him suddenly realize the problem.

"Damn! You two bastards are sneaking food on me!"

Soon, the three were wrestling into a heap, even ignoring a big bite on the fish float.

If an old man saw this scene, he would surely sigh and say, "Being young is great."
