Chen Dazhuang looked very happy when he came back and told Chen Wang that Yan Yulan's family had agreed to this matter and would prepare to purchase crayfish in the village tomorrow.
"There's a little bit of noodles left, mixed with the crayfish broth. Do you want some?"
Chen Wang pointed to the noodles in the bowl.
"Eat, give me a bowl and chopsticks."
Chen Dazhuang stared at the noodles soaked in the soup and felt that he could eat all the remaining ones.
Lin Xiuqin took a pair of bowl and chopsticks and handed them to him.
After Chen Dazhuang took it, he picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them into the bowl, then picked up the basin and poured in the soup.
After sitting down, he started to eat with big mouthfuls of food.
Chen Wang and his companions were already full and could only watch him eat.
"I'm going to go back first. After you finish eating, remember to go with Awang and put down the ground trap."
Chen Jianjun stood up, looked at his son and gave him some instructions.
"Got it, go back now!"
Chen Dazhuang nodded, his words a little unclear.
"Goodbye, Master."
Chen Wang said goodbye with a smile.
Chen Jianjun responded and walked away.
The remaining noodles in the bowl were quickly eaten up by Chen Dazhuang.
Chen Wang went into the house to get a trap, then took some corn kernels and put them into the pot to cook, then took them out and rinsed them with cold water.
These cooked corn kernels are the best bait for catching shrimps.
"Brother, sister-in-law asked you to hold the flashlight."
The little girl ran over and handed him the flashlight.
Chen Wang took the flashlight and said to the little girl, "Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. It's already past eight o'clock."
"knew!"
The little girl nodded obediently.
Afterwards, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang took their things and went to the river.
After reaching the river, the two looked for a suitable location.
Try to find a place with aquatic plants, there will be more lobsters below.
After finding a suitable location, the two put the corn into the trap, trying to sprinkle some on each layer, then picked it up and threw it hard, and the front of the trap stretched out and fell into the water.
Chen Dazhuang helped with a flashlight, and Chen Wang carefully stepped into the river under the light and placed the trap.
Before going out, he changed into rain rubber boots. The water at the riverside was not deep, so there was no problem.
After about half an hour, all five traps were put in place, each with a mineral water bottle tied on it as a mark.
"Okay, let's go back!"
Chen Wang shook off the water stains on his hands.
Chen Dazhuang responded, looked at the place where the traps were placed in the river, and said with some concern: "Will someone steal our traps?"
"It should be fine. I'll talk to Lao Lu tomorrow and ask him to help watch while we fish. We'll set up the traps before dark tomorrow."
"All right."
"By the way, what did your Alan and his family say? Did they think the crayfish they sent over were delicious?"
"That's nonsense, isn't it? Let me tell you, the two brothers-in-law almost fought over it. They both said they had never eaten anything so delicious."
“Haha…that’s good!”
…
…
The next morning, the news that Chen Wang was buying lobsters at one cent per pound spread quickly in the village.
The whole village was in an uproar.
Especially the children, they were celebrating as if it was New Year, scrambling to dig earthworms and find wooden sticks, then made simple fishing rods and ran to the river.
Many children also ran directly to the rice fields with buckets and basins to catch lobsters.
Lobsters are not difficult to catch. Just make a few fishing rods and wait by the river. It's no problem to catch 10 to 20 kilograms a day.
That’s just one or two dollars!
What concept?
Many workers nowadays only earn this much for a day's work.
Not only the children, but also many women and elderly people who have nothing to do at home were interested in it, and some even mobilized their entire family.
By noon, the riverside was already crowded with people fishing for lobsters.
Including Old Man Lu, several fishermen who have been fishing here for a long time were dumbfounded.
After asking around, a few people finally found out what was going on.
Chen Wang had just returned from lunch at the construction site when he saw several people standing outside the door, some carrying buckets or washbasins, including two little boys.
"Stone, big sweet potato!"
The little girl recognized the two children and called out with a smile.
Several people looked towards them following the sound.
"Xiaoyu, we have brought some lobsters. We caught them this morning. Does your brother want some?"
One of the boys asked expectantly.
"Of course!"
The little girl nodded and looked up at her brother.
Chen Wang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I want as many as you want."
“Oh…”
The two boys cheered excitedly.
The other people who came to sell lobsters also had happy expressions on their faces.
Chen Wang walked over quickly and asked his wife to open the door and take out the scale.
"Xiaoyu, go and move the big basin out of the house."
"good!!"
After a while, my wife and the little girl took out the things.
"You two kids, come first."
Chen Wang said to the two boys with a smile.
"Brother Awang, how do we do this?"
The chubby boy picked up the basin and asked.
"Oh, wait a moment, I'm going to get something."
Chen Wang turned and went into the house, quickly took out a net bag that he had used to buy fruit, and asked one of the boys to pour all the lobsters into it.
The boy did as he was told and poured most of the basin of lobsters into it.
Chen Wang hung the net bag on the hook of the beam scale and weighed it skillfully.
"You weigh 6.8 jin, so I'll give you 7 jin, see."
