shrimp!
lobster!
crayfish!
That's right, the wild game that Lin Sen favored was the crayfish that could be found everywhere in the ditches of Haiwan Village, practically a handful at a time!
In later generations, crayfish became a well-known delicacy.
Every summer, bright red braised crayfish, garlic crayfish, spicy crayfish, stir-fried crayfish tails, and other delicacies appear at street stalls and night markets.
It has become a must-have delicious snack to accompany drinks in the summer.
However, in 1984...
Crayfish, however, are a food that nobody wants to eat.
Firstly, it was 1984, and cooks didn't yet know how to make crayfish taste good. Secondly, although resources were gradually becoming more abundant in 1984, with the development of a free economy, people no longer needed to buy grain and meat with ration coupons.
However, in 1984, most ordinary people were just beginning to transition from a period of hunger to a period of plenty, with staple foods available at every meal.
In 1984, most ordinary people could only eat pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, fish and eggs once or twice a month, whereas in later generations they could eat them every day.
Therefore, for ordinary people in the 1980s who lacked oil and fat, crayfish with thick shells and little meat were really not worth eating!
In his previous life, Lin Sen had seen some old photos from the 1970s and 80s, showing many poor people eating hairy crabs by the roadside.
In the eyes of later generations, how could the poor possibly afford such an expensive food as hairy crabs?
But in reality, in the 1970s and 80s, when transportation was inconvenient and resources were scarce.
Fish, shrimp, and crab are not only inexpensive, but also not many people eat them.
In 1984, if you took a bowl of braised pork and a hairy crab to the street, 100% of the people would definitely choose the braised pork and not even look at the hairy crab!
After all, when you're not well-fed, eating fish, shrimp, and seafood just doesn't taste as good.
Humans need carbohydrates.
Eating fish, shrimp, and crab every day is not only not enjoyable, it could even lead to starvation!
"Although crayfish are not popular with the poor, Old Li and those who can attend Old Li's birthday banquet must be important figures in Linhai County."
"These important figures don't lack food or meat normally."
"Especially for Old Li, a plate of Sichuan-style spicy crayfish would definitely win over his stomach!"
"Dry!"
Thinking of this, Lin Sen immediately took action, rolled up his trousers, and went into the river to catch crayfish.
Before long, Lin Sen had scooped up a whole big bag of crayfish.
"Let's go back and experiment with the method first. Then we can catch some fresh ones tomorrow or the day after, and then we can go to Huifu Hotel to cook it for Old Li."
"If we can make crayfish popular throughout Linhai County through people like Mr. Li."
"Then I can use it to earn my first pot of gold!"
Lin Sen muttered something to himself, then tied a bag of crayfish to the back of his old bicycle and rode it straight to the village.
In Lin Sen's memories of his previous life, crayfish seemed to have only become popular after the millennium, gradually becoming a staple dish on the tables of people all over the country.
Therefore, after the millennium, many people made a fortune by raising crayfish or opening crayfish restaurants!
"Back then, crayfish became popular because people generally had enough to eat, so they wanted to eat some fresh wild game."
"Now, in 1984, it would be difficult to make crayfish a complete hit."
"But there's a good chance you can make your first fortune with it."
Lin Sen, his eyes darting around, pedaled his bicycle at breakneck speed.
"Hey, Lin Sen."
What did you buy in town?
As Lin Sen rode his bicycle past the entrance of Haiwan Village, a village woman happened to see him under the big banyan tree at the village entrance and shouted out.
Lin Sen turned his head and glanced at her.
I don't know him.
So Lin Sen ignored her and rode his bike home.
"Lin Sen!"
"You bastard!"
Seeing that Lin Senli was ignoring her, He Xiuli's face stiffened, and she glared angrily.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
At this moment, a young woman emerged from the nearby rice paddy, having just finished relieving herself, and walked towards He Xiuli while tying her belt.
He Xiuli is Lin Sen's cousin-in-law, and the young woman is Lin Sen's cousin Lin Xiaohui.
"I just saw Lin Sen. He just came back from the city. He had a big, bulging bag tied to his bicycle. I don't know what it was filled with."
He Xiuli snorted coldly: "I called him, but he didn't say a word!"
"Pooh!"
"That bastard Lin Sen, does he still think he's some kind of rich young master from the city?"
As soon as He Xiuli finished speaking, Lin Xiaohui spat at Lin Sen's back and said, "Sister-in-law, let my brother teach him a lesson later and help you vent your anger!"
“Teaching him a lesson is a small matter.”
"What's important is money!"
He Xiuli frowned and snorted.
"money?"
"What kind of money?"
Upon hearing He Xiuli's words, Lin Xiaohui immediately looked suspicious.
"You don't know, Lin Sen's father, Lin Laosan, crashed into Tang Laogou's fishing boat a few days ago when he went out to sea, and Tang Laogou is making him pay for it."
He Xiuli lowered her voice: "When that bastard Lin Sen got married before, Lin Laosan took a full 150 yuan from the old man."
"This morning, he went to the old man's house again."
"They probably swindled several hundred yuan from the old man again!"
The thought of the money being taken by the Lin family made He Xiuli furious.
Lin Sen's father, Lin Jianguo's father-in-law, Lin Guisheng, had three sons. Lin Jianguo was the third son, He Xiuli's father-in-law, Lin Jianqiang, was the eldest son, and the second son, Lin Jiancheng, was the second son. All three families lived in Haiwan Village.
