Su Le simply poked a small hole in the sheet and drained the river water out the window. Only then did Li Ming get a clear look at what was inside. It was a red, muddy, and filthy creature.
"Su Zhiqing, what are you doing with this thing? It's so dirty." Li Ming said quickly.
Skinny Monkey also looked at Su Le in confusion.
Su Le said to Captain Li with a smile, "This is good stuff. You think it's dirty because you haven't tasted it."
Li Ming disagreed, "Of course I haven't eaten it. When the villagers cooked it, their mouths were full of sand. These things reproduce very quickly. Especially those claws, it hurts so much when you pinch them."
Su Le took out a cooked lobster from his backpack, placed it on the table, and opened the lid. The aroma filled the two people's faces. Su Le pointed and said with a smile, "Why don't you, Captain Li and Skinny Monkey, try what I made?" Su Le took out one and taught them how to eat it and how to peel it.
The skinny monkey hesitated for only a moment. He had seen Su Le's skills before. He picked up one and imitated Su Le's behavior and ate it. He was completely stunned.
Li Ming looked at the skinny monkey hesitantly. Seeing the skinny monkey's dazed look, he quickly shouted, "Quick, quick, please ask the doctor to come over." He looked at Su Le with some blame. He quickly stood up and asked about the skinny monkey's condition.
The skinny monkey came to his senses and quickly shouted, "No, no, no. Captain Li, try it! It's delicious. I'm just like this because it's my first time eating something like this."
Li Ming looked at him questioningly and asked, "Are you really okay?"
The skinny monkey took another one and replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing him take another one and eat it, with his eyes closed, enjoying it, Li Ming couldn't help but wonder if they had done something wrong before. He also picked up one and tasted it.
The lobster meat is tender and mellow in taste, and it is cooked just right, making every bite satisfying.
Li Ming and Shouhou were speechless and could not wait to eat them one by one until the last one was eaten by Shouhou. Li Ming looked at him with dissatisfaction and secretly licked his fingers a few times.
Su Le asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Li Ming nodded vigorously, "It's really delicious! I don't know how to describe it."
Su Le continued, "Then let's start talking about cooperation."
Li Ming was stunned. "What kind of cooperation are we talking about?"
Su Le pointed to the empty plate and the lobster in the bag next to it and said, "Of course it's this."
Li Ming frowned, "Su Zhiqing, just say it directly."
Su Le nodded and smiled. "Let me be frank. Initially, I wanted to ask people who couldn't do farm work to help catch these lobsters. I would buy them at the purchase price. Now, I want to contract all the lobsters in this river."
Li Ming didn't reply immediately, but was just thinking about the feasibility of this matter. They could do this now...
Su Le's next words cut him off. "Captain Li, the lobster you guys cook isn't tasty for three reasons. First, you don't know how to clean it. Second, you don't know how to cook it. Third, you don't use enough seasoning. And the most important thing is, you need to go to work, doing farm work. Who would bother with such tedious tasks just to eat lobster? I'll just buy the lobsters over here, and you'll be responsible for delivering them to that skinny guy over there regularly. You make money, he makes money, and I make money too. Why not do something that benefits all three of us?"
Li Ming nodded involuntarily after hearing Su Le's words. He couldn't deny that Su Le was telling the truth. "I need to hold a meeting with a few village officials to discuss this."
Su Le nodded. "I am also from Red Star Village. Zi Chen has roots here, so I want to lend a hand. You can research it."
Li Ming was so moved that he almost agreed, but then he thought about the river belonging to the village. He needed to discuss it before he could come to a conclusion, so he could only send Su Le and the others to the door. "Su Zhiqing, I won't keep you waiting for long. I will discuss it right away."
Su Le nodded and said, "Then I'll go to other villages to have a look. Our village will definitely be the first choice."
The first sentence made Li Ming nervous, fearing that Su Le would no longer want him, but the second sentence was like a reassurance.
The subordinate rode in front with the skinny monkey, and Su Le followed behind, and they walked out of the village and headed in another direction.
Soon they arrived at the village. Everyone looked at the three people curiously, with obvious rejection in their eyes, after all, they were not from their village.
The skinny monkey looked at Su Le and saw that he was as steady as a rock, not affected at all. He poked his men and continued riding.
The three of them quickly arrived at the main gate. The people in the group looked them up and down, and someone asked, "Who are you looking for? From which village?"
The skinny monkey said directly, "Please ask your captain to come out for a moment."
The staff inside looked at them with unfriendly eyes. "Our captain is not here. Who are you all?"
The skinny monkey looked at Su Le. Su Le didn't say anything. The skinny monkey's aura in the black market was fully released. He slammed the table and said, "I told you to call the captain over. What do you care who I am?"
The man was obviously frightened by the momentum and was trembling. The others thought he was here to cause trouble and went in to find the captain.
The captain came out angrily and yelled, "Who? Who's causing trouble here? Who are you three?"
Su Le pressed the skinny monkey down and said with a smile, "You're too impulsive. You scared me. We're just here to discuss cooperation."
The skinny monkey's mouth twitched, and he did not refute Su Le's words.
The captain had obviously heard Su Le's words and looked at him suspiciously, "What kind of cooperation are you talking about?"
Su Le looked at him, then looked at the person next to him. The meaning was obvious: Are you here?
Everyone tried to stop the captain, but he waved them away. Was he still afraid of the three little Karamis? He led the three of them into the office.
The men closed the door naturally. Su Le smiled and said, "Don't stand outside, stand inside. There's nothing you can't listen to."
The man nodded, closed the door, and stood at the entrance.
Su Le said to the captain, "I run a restaurant and need to purchase lobsters from you. This is it." She put the bag on the table.
The captain looked at her suspiciously, then sneered. "You want this too? Where did you come from, you liar? Who sent you here? What's your purpose? You're not welcome in our village."
Su Le narrowed his eyes, his smile faded, and he said coldly, "I hope you can maintain this attitude in the future."
The captain really regretted his words for a moment, but soon he continued to sneer.
Skinny Monkey also left with a cold expression. The three of them quickly returned to Red Star Village.
Li Ming had already finished his meeting and was looking for Su Le. Seeing Su Le and the other two riding back on their bikes, he quickly greeted them with a smile, followed by other village cadres. "Su Zhiqing, after discussion, we all agree. Let's discuss the details of the cooperation."
