After a while, the braised crayfish in the pot was ready.
It was already evening.
Several people sat around the octagonal table at the door, chatting and laughing while enjoying the meal.
After buying the beer, Chen Wang put it in the refrigerator in advance, so it was just the right time to take it out.
Ice-cold beer paired with two flavors of crayfish is simply a relaxing experience.
On the table in front of everyone, lobster shells had piled up into a small mountain.
"Master, Zhuang brother, come, let's go one more."
Chen Wang picked up the beer bottle and said with a smile.
"Let's go!"
Chen Dazhuang and Chen Jianjun both picked up their beer bottles with a smile and clinked their bottles with him.
After drinking half a bottle of ice beer, Chen Wang suddenly said, "Tell me, can I make money if I sell these lobsters in town?"
"What a great idea! This stuff is so delicious, it will definitely make money."
Chen Dazhuang answered excitedly.
"There's plenty of this stuff in the river this season. It costs money to make oil and seasonings. If you set a suitable price, there will definitely be people buying it."
Chen Jianjun also expressed his thoughts.
Chen Wang nodded and said, "I also bought a few traps and prepared to put them in the river. Old Man Lu will also help me fish with them. I should be able to catch a lot every day."
"Awang, you can also buy it in the village."
Chen Dazhuang peeled the shrimp quickly and suggested, "This thing is easy to catch. If you are willing to spend some money to buy it, the children in the village will definitely run to the river to catch it for you."
“Yes!”
Chen Wang's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
When he was a child in his previous life, during the summer vacation every year, he often went to the river with the children in the village to fish for lobsters, and then sold them to the purchasing merchants to earn some pocket money for himself.
"Brother, I can help. I'll go tell everyone."
The little girl recommended herself excitedly.
“The question is how much to charge.”
Chen Jianjun took over the conversation.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Wang asked tentatively, "How about 50 cents a pound?"
"No, no, no, it's too expensive. Who would spend so much money on this?"
Chen Dazhuang quickly rejected it.
"Yes, this is something no one wants. We gave too much."
Chen Jianjun quickly agreed.
"Wife, what do you think?"
Chen Wang cast an inquiring look at Lin Xiuqin standing beside him.
Lin Xiuqin thought for a moment and raised two fingers.
"Two cents?"
Chen Wang nodded thoughtfully.
"In my opinion, many people are willing to sell it for a few cents. No one except you, Awang, knows that this thing can be made so delicious."
Chen Dazhuang expressed his thoughts.
"But there's actually not much technical content in doing this. If I sell well, others will follow suit, and then there may be a price war, and the price of purchasing lobsters will also rise."
"Then you can raise the price when the time comes. Buy it at a lower price first."
"We shouldn't tell anyone how we made it. Even if someone wants to follow your lead, they won't be able to make it as delicious as you in a short period of time."
Chen Jianjun followed with an instruction.
"My dad is right. Next time you do this, pay attention to your surroundings and don't let others steal your skills."
Chen Dazhuang said seriously.
"Brother Zhuang, let's do this together, it's still 50-50."
Chen Wang looked at him and said.
"No, no, this recipe is yours, how can I take advantage of you again?"
Chen Dazhuang waved his hands repeatedly.
"If I really want to do it, I can't do it alone. If I want to sell them in town, my bicycle can't carry much."
"Then let's do this, just like you do when you pick herbs. I only want 20%."
"This... you should think it through. If you do this, we may rarely go into the mountains to hunt in the next two or three months."
Chen Wang reminded in a serious tone.
"I understand. Anyway, there are few prey in the mountains during this period. Besides, you have to wait for the baby to be born, and I have to be busy preparing for the wedding. It's good to make some money from this."
"Awang, just listen to him. Dazhuang has already made a lot of money thanks to you."
Chen Jianjun also spoke up to help.
"Okay, then I won't waste any more time. It's settled. We'll start tomorrow."
"no problem!"
"Xiaoyu, go play with your friends tomorrow and spread the word that I'm buying lobsters. I'll buy them at 10 cents a pound!"
Chen Wang gave the little girl some instructions.
To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed.
In his impression, live crayfish could easily cost 20 to 30 pounds, but now he only charges 0.1 cent per pound.
"Okay, I understand."
The little girl nodded and agreed with a smile.
"Brother Zhuang, come with me later and put the trap into the river."
Chen Wang looked at Chen Dazhuang again and said.
"good!"
Chen Dazhuang agreed readily, and then he thought of something and suggested, "By the way, Awang, I can also talk to Alan and ask her to help you buy this thing in Yanjia Village."
There is more than one river nearby, and there are also a lot of crayfish in the rice fields.
"Sure, but I can't ask her to help for nothing. How about this, you ask her to buy it for 1 cent per pound, and I'll give her 2 cents."
"No need, we are all family."
"She hasn't even entered your house yet. If you ask her to help, her father and two brothers will definitely help. You can't let them work for nothing, right?"
"this……"
"Don't be so fussy, it's settled."
"All right!"
Chen Dazhuang smiled happily.
It was the slack season for farming now, and he could imagine that after telling Alan's family the news, his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law would definitely be very happy.
After they had almost finished eating, Chen Wang found two aluminum lunch boxes, filled them with lobsters, and asked Chen Dazhuang to take them to Alan's family and mention this matter in passing.
Chen Dazhuang didn't act pretentiously. After taking the aluminum lunch box, he went into the house, got on his bicycle, and hurried away.
After watching him go away, Chen Wang asked, "Master, Xiaoyu, wife, are you full? How about cooking some noodles? The soup from this thing is also delicious for cooking noodles."
"Brother, I want to eat, I want to eat."
The little girl immediately raised her hand and shouted.
"Then eat some!"
Chen Jianjun also smiled and nodded.
Crayfish is delicious, but it’s not very filling.
Lin Xiuqin stood up and gestured that she would go and cook.
"No, wife, you sit down, I'll go."
Chen Wang hurriedly stood up, pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit back, then went to the kitchen to boil water and cook noodles.
"Xiuqin, Awang is really good to you. You should let Dazhuang learn more from him in the future."
Chen Jianjun said with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face flushed slightly. Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, a hint of tenderness flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
"My brother is the best to my sister-in-law, and he is only second best to me."
The little girl continued to peel the lobster with her greasy hands, and agreed with a sweet smile.
Lin Xiuqin smiled, reached out a folded towel in her hand and wiped the oil off the corners of her mouth.
