In the following time, Zheng Gan's main goal was to find butter crabs. Basically, he would pick up a butter crab and send it over, and then pick up two blue crabs to make up the number. He was afraid of arousing suspicion from Liu Feng and others.
After working from seven in the evening until half past eleven, everyone finally cleared most of the red spots on the muddy beach.
"Just 200 crab ropes are not enough." Lin Hao looked at the three snakeskin bags in front of him and happily reported his battle results.
In other words, in more than four hours, several people caught nearly 200 blue crabs, and Zheng Gan alone caught more than two-thirds of them.
"Then let's go. Let's get rid of them quickly so that they don't die overnight." Zheng Gan waved his hand and evacuated the scene with several people who were already exhausted.
The harvest tonight was very big. Zheng Gan roughly counted and found that he picked up 42 butter crabs. Basically, each one weighed more than half a pound, and some were even bigger.
This harvest had already shocked Liu Feng. When had this kind of butter crab become so easy to obtain? Moreover, butter crabs were usually very small. It was extremely rare to see so many of this size. At least he had never heard of it.
"Brother, I did a lot of work tonight. You can't forget my commission." The young girl Zheng Shanshan was almost exhausted. She felt like her waist was about to break, but she was still thinking about her salary.
"Don't worry, your commission will be credited to your account once I sell them." Zheng Shanshan caught ten blue crabs that night. Although they were cheap labor, their contributions could not be forgotten.
The five of them packed up, as it was too late, so they sent Qiao Xin home first. Then Lin Hao drove his magic car to take Zheng Gan and all the crabs to Dongqiang Aquatic Products, while Liu Feng took Zheng Shanshan back to the hotel to rest, and they agreed to meet again tomorrow to divide the spoils.
When Wang Dongqiang heard that Zheng Gan and his team had caught their first wild butter crab, he immediately rushed over from home. Who wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that there was such a good thing?
"Uncle Qiang, come and take a look at these big treasures." Zheng Gan and Lin Hao moved all the crabs to the seafood store, left the rest of the work to Wang Dongqiang, and then sat down.
Wang Dongqiang's attention was now entirely focused on the butter crab, and he simply ignored Zheng Gan and the others.
"It's really the best wild butter crab, it's really good stuff." Wang Dongqiang hadn't seen such top-quality goods in many years, and quickly arranged for his employees to weigh them.
"Uncle Qiang, please help me pack four butter crabs and four blue crabs so I can take them away. Then help me keep six butter crabs and six blue crabs. I'll come and get them tomorrow." Zheng Gan said.
"Don't keep it, sell it." When Wang Dongqiang heard that Zheng Gan wanted to take it away, he became anxious and prepared to stop him. It would be a shame not to sell such a good thing.
Zheng Gan couldn't eat all the food by himself, so he smiled and said, "Good things are edible too, why not take some home for your family to try."
When Wang Dongqiang heard that it was for his family, he couldn't say anything more and could only reluctantly give up ten butter crabs.
After more than half an hour, all the crabs had been counted and sorted according to their size. The price of ordinary wild blue crabs weighing about one catty was 130 yuan per catty, and blue crabs weighing one and a half catties were 150 yuan per catty.
All the blue crabs were sold for a total of yuan. The price of butter crabs was higher, at the price of 1900 yuan per catty, a total of 17 catties, was sold for yuan, a total of yuan.
The harvest is really gratifying. If I hadn’t taken out ten of them, I could have sold a lot more.
Wang Dongqiang transferred the money with a resentful look on his face, and frightened Zheng Gan so much that he dragged Lin Hao away, saying that they would have lunch together tomorrow at noon, and then quickly got in the car and left the seafood store.
After returning to the village, Zheng Gan gave two blue crabs and a yellow crab to Qiao Xin overnight, asking her to give them to the old couple, and told them to wait for them to go to the county to eat at noon tomorrow.
After the two returned to Lin Hao's house, they immediately called Lin Gang and his wife.
"Are there something wrong with you two? Can you please see what time it is?" Wu Sujuan started to roar. She had already lost the whole night playing cards, and she couldn't sleep well.
"No, no, no, Auntie, I'm calling you to get up and eat crabs." Zheng Gan glanced at the time awkwardly and said in a low voice, it was already 1:30 in the morning.
Lin Hao, this useless guy, once again disappeared offline and became a invisible person.
However, if the crabs are not oxygenated, it is best to eat them on the same day, otherwise they will become thin if left overnight.
"It's not like I haven't eaten crabs before, so why would I get up in the middle of the night to eat them?" Wu Sujuan was on the verge of exploding, but fortunately Lin Gang held her back.
"Isn't this a thoughtful gesture from the two of them? Look at you, come and see what delicious crabs you've caught today."
Lin Gang knew that the two of them were going to catch blue crabs tonight. The crabs that could pull them up in the middle of the night to eat must not be ordinary blue crabs.
"Uncle, look." Zheng Gan brought four big crabs in front of Lin Gang.
"Wow, such a big blue crab." Lin Gang picked up a big blue crab weighing one and a half kilograms and exclaimed in surprise. When he looked at the butter crab beside him, his face changed. He pointed at the butter crab and said excitedly,
"Don't tell me this is the first hand butter crab."
Zheng Gan gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle, you really know a lot. This is the best wild butter crab."
As expected of an intelligence chief, he knows a lot.
"Is it valuable?" Wu Sujuan, who was standing by, looked at Lin Gang and immediately realized that this was a good thing.
Lin Gang smiled bitterly, "Of course they are valuable. You can't get these two without two thousand yuan."
Wu Sujuan gritted her teeth when she heard the price of two thousand yuan. Although she knew that the two were giving to them as a filial piety, she was still reluctant to part with it. "It's too expensive. We can't finish it. Let's sell it quickly."
"Well, no matter how expensive it is, it's just food. Why sell it if your family doesn't eat it first?" Zheng Gan said with a smile. It's not like it's a yellow croaker that can't be eaten.
"Okay, since it's Agan's kindness, let's try the butter crab." Lin Gang made the decision with a wave of his hand.
After hearing what Lin Gang said, Wu Sujuan had no choice but to eat it.
Soon, the crabs were out of the pot. Wu Sujuan divided the butter crabs into four portions and prepared to let Zheng Gan and the others have some, but they were rejected.
"Just eat them, Auntie. I left a few at Uncle Qiang's place and we'll eat them tomorrow when we go to the county." Zheng Gan said. There were only two butter crabs, and if they were divided in half, it would not be enough.
Okay, Wu Sujuan and Lin Gang didn’t say anything more, picked up the butter crab and started eating.
"It's really worthy of being called a butter crab, it's all crab roe, so fresh and fragrant."
