Rebirth in '82: The Foolish Village Guardian's Mountain Life

Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.

The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...

Chapter 311 Crayfish

The little girl is very interested in raising wild boar cubs.

Perhaps because she was afraid of hunger in the past two years, she was very keen on raising animals.

As long as they are fed some weeds, vegetable leaves and leftovers, and they can be watched growing day by day, the little girl will feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness that "there will never be a lack of meat to eat in the future".

Therefore, every time the little girl fed the wild boars and rabbits, she couldn't help humming the little song she made up.

for example:

"Little pig, eat more and grow up quickly. I want to eat some meat too..."

Anyway, if wild boars and rabbits could understand human language, they would definitely be so scared that they would rather go on a hunger strike.

The hunt was quite rewarding, but unfortunately there was nothing to sell.

With a refrigerator, you can store more fresh ingredients at home.

Badger meat and roe deer meat are both high-quality meats. After splitting them 50-50 with Chen Dazhuang, there were not many pounds left, so Chen Wang naturally was reluctant to sell them.

Still have to find a way to make some money.

The next day.

After having breakfast with his wife and little girl, Chen Wang rode his bicycle out.

I went to Lao Lutou's house in the next village and prepared to collect the fish he had caught in the past few days.

When Chen Wang was about to put the fish into the sack, he suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from a plastic bucket next to him.

"Master, what's in here?"

"In there, the lobsters, I got them for someone else to feed the pigs."

"Ah? Raising pigs?"

Chen Wang had a look of surprise on his face.

"yes!"

Old Man Lu nodded and said, "This thing doesn't taste good, and it's very troublesome to handle."

Hearing this, Chen Wang didn't know what to say for a moment.

I squatted down, opened the plastic bucket and took a look. Sure enough, it was full of crayfish.

As soon as he saw the lid of the bucket was opened, some crayfish started to crawl out, so Chen Wang quickly put the lid back on.

"Grandpa, it's a waste to feed this to pigs. Give it to me!"

"Ah? You want this? Of course I can, but..."

"I'll give you two more dollars. If you help give it to that person, it will be considered as my purchase of him."

You know, before he traveled through time, crayfish was the king of the night snack stalls in this season, and a serving would cost two or three hundred yuan.

It is a waste of resources to use it to feed pigs in this day and age.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it.

Cooking crayfish requires a lot of oil, salt, and many kinds of seasonings, otherwise there is no way to remove the fishy smell.

Nowadays, ordinary people are reluctant to use too much oil and salt when cooking, let alone this.

Another issue is the level of cognition.

Crayfish are extremely hardy and can survive in many sewage ditches and even sewers, so naturally people think they are dirty.

Looking at the bucket of crayfish, Chen Wang suddenly had a good idea.

"Old man, there should be a lot of this stuff in the river now, right?"

Chen Wang asked with a smile.

Old Man Lu nodded and said, "A lot, a lot. Just find a few sticks and tie a rope to it, hang some earthworms, pig livers or something on it, put it into the river and it will be hooked. Then just pull up the rod and it will be fine."

Chen Wang nodded slightly and said, "Just give me a bucket of lobsters. I'll come back to get it after I sell the fish in town."

"Sure, sure. You don't have to pay me. I promised to do it for someone else. You can take it back if you want."

"No, you've already promised, so I can't let you go back on your word. So, I'll start weighing the fish."

"good!"

Soon, Chen Wang weighed all the fish in the tank and filled a sack.

Fifty cents per pound, a total of 65.4 yuan, plus two yuan is 67.4 yuan.

During the recent times when Chen Wang came to collect the fish, he brought change and gave it directly to the seller so that he wouldn't have to make another trip after selling the fish.

He carried a sack of fish out of the door and tied it to the back seat of his bicycle.

"Old man, I'm leaving now. If you want to close the shop to go fishing, just leave the bucket of lobsters at the door and I'll come back and take it away."

Chen Wang looked at Old Man Lu and gave instructions.

"Okay, no problem."

Old Man Lu nodded with a smile and asked, "Do you still want this thing? If you do, I can make a few fishing rods while I'm fishing so that I can help you catch more lobsters."

"May I?"

"Of course, this isn't like fishing, it's easy to catch."

"It's not possible to ask you to help for free. How about this, I'll take this bucket back and try it out. If it works, I'll buy it for you. We can discuss the specific price next time."

"You don't have to pay for this thing!"

"Grandpa, I also took it back and fixed it up to sell for money."

"How do you sell this thing? Who wants it?"

Old Man Lu had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Hahaha... When I'm done, I'll bring some over for you to try. You'll know. This is a great side dish for drinking."

Chen Wang smiled and sat on the bicycle.

"No more talking, let's go."

"Okay, slow down!"

"Okay."

Chen Wang responded and turned around and left on his bike.

Old Man Lu watched him go away, muttering to himself, "How can this crayfish be cooked deliciously? I've never heard of it!"

After arriving at the market in town, Chen Wang sold all the fish in about an hour.

After packing up his things, Chen Wang bought a pot block from a stall on the way and ate it while pushing the cart out of the market.

I rode my bike to an oil and salt shop in town and bought all kinds of spices and seasonings needed to cook crayfish, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a box of beer.

Afterwards, Chen Wang went to a fishing tackle store and bought five traps.

This season is the time when crayfish reproduce and grow, and since no one eats them, there are plenty of them in the river.

Before traveling through time, Chen Wang also liked this.

Especially in my free time, I often find a food stall, order some crayfish and some barbecue, and a few bottles of ice-cold beer, and eat and drink at the same time. It is so comfortable.

Chen Wang was planning to cook and sell crayfish. Even if people nowadays didn’t like it and the food couldn’t be sold, he was prepared to make some more for himself.

Therefore, it is necessary to buy a few ground traps.

In addition, Chen Wang also bought a set of fishing rods.

I've always wanted to buy it, but unfortunately I don't go fishing often, so I forget about it every time I come to town.

Fishing gear is not very expensive nowadays, and Chen Wang bought a general brand, spending only over 70 yuan.

I spent all the money I earned from selling fish today, and even lost some.

Fortunately, he found another way to make money.

After leaving the fishing tackle shop, Chen Wang packed all his things into a sack, tied it up, and then rode his bike home.

I first went to Lao Lu's house in the next village and saw that the door was closed. The bucket of lobsters was placed next to the door.

After Chen Wang picked it up, he controlled the bicycle with one hand and carried the bucket with the other hand, and rode all the way back home.

"Brother, what did you buy? What's in the bucket?"

The little girl ran over immediately.
