After dinner, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang went to the river together and set up five traps.
In total, we harvested about 50 to 60 kilograms of crayfish, as well as some small fish, turtles, eels and the like.
Small fish can be used to make porridge to feed dogs and little foxes. Soft-shelled turtles and eels are even better. They can be used to make soup for your wife to supplement her nutrition.
In the evening, some people came to the house to sell lobsters, and Lin Xiuqin bought them all.
Including Old Man Lu, who brought a bucket of crayfish he had caught when Chen Wang was taking a bath.
Chen Wang also asked Lin Xiuqin to pay the price of 1 cent per pound.
By bedtime, the containers at home were filled with lobsters.
In addition to the more than 200 kilograms of crayfish that have been processed and prepared for cooking tomorrow morning, there are nearly 300 kilograms of fresh crayfish at home.
At this time in June, it was already light at five in the morning.
Chen Wang went to bed very early yesterday and woke up on time.
He sat up slowly and quietly, preparing to put on his clothes and get out of bed. When he turned on the light, he found that Lin Xiuqin had woken up and was lying there quietly, looking at him with a gentle smile.
"You continue to sleep."
Chen Wang reached out and stroked her cheek, speaking softly.
Lin Xiuqin nodded slightly.
Chen Wang bent down and kissed her lightly on the forehead, then got out of bed and got dressed.
I walked out of the room and opened the door, and I could see outside clearly.
Yawning and stretching, Chen Wang went to the kitchen to get some water to wash up.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face with cold water, I felt refreshed.
“Awang!!”
I heard Chen Dazhuang's voice, and when I looked up, I saw him speeding towards me on a bicycle.
"You're just in time, help me light the fire!"
Chen Wang spoke.
"Okay!"
Chen Dazhuang smiled and nodded. After parking his bicycle, he quickly walked to the stove and started helping to light the fire.
On Chen Wang's side, he took out the crayfish that had been cleaned yesterday and cleaned them again.
After the pan is heated, pour in the oil used to fry the lobster.
I only fried a few dozen pounds of lobsters before, so the oil can still be used.
After the oil is hot, put the lobster into the pot. The pot of this kind of wood-fired stove is very large.
It’s no problem to fry forty or fifty kilograms in one pot.
Fry for three to five minutes and then take it out.
In less than half an hour, more than 200 kilograms of crayfish were fried.
Then drain the oil from the pot and start cooking the crayfish.
Chen Wang still planned to make two flavors, stewing about 50 kilograms in one pot.
Soon, the flavor of the first pot of braised crayfish was ready. Chen Wang covered the pot and let it stew, then turned around and started preparing the minced garlic on the table.
Compared to some other ingredients, minced garlic is the most required and is also the most troublesome.
"Is that all you'll get today?"
Chen Dazhuang also came over to help.
"Well, these are all the ingredients and seasonings we have at home. I'll have to buy more after we sell the lobsters. I also need to sell some buckets and basins, and a few large insulated buckets."
Chen Wang was peeling garlic in his hands, thinking about what he would buy later.
"The main thing is that the lobster is ready today, and I'm afraid two buckets won't be enough!"
Chen Dazhuang said with some concern.
Two clean buckets have been prepared to hold the prepared lobsters.
But two buckets are definitely not enough to hold more than 200 kilograms of lobster.
Moreover, if you use a bicycle, you can only fix one bucket on the base, and you definitely can't bring all of it to town at once.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Wang said to Chen Dazhuang, "Brother Zhuang, go to Uncle Zhao's house and ask if he can take us there on a tractor. I can give him 8 yuan for the trip."
"8 dollars? That's too much!"
Chen Dazhuang looked at him in surprise.
"This is a long-term thing. If we sell well today, there will be more goods in the future. We can't transport hundreds of kilograms a day by bicycle. We need to let Uncle Zhao make some money, so he will be willing to get up early to deliver goods for us."
"Yeah, okay, I'll go talk to him then."
After that, Chen Dazhuang washed his hands with water and then rode away on his bike.
Chen Wang continued to work on his own thing, and soon the first pot was ready.
I poured it into a clean bucket and found that it was only half full. It took two buckets to hold the 50 kilograms of shrimp.
While I was making the second pot of garlic crayfish, Chen Dazhuang came back on his bike.
"Awang, Uncle Zhao agreed and will drive over right away."
Chen Dazhuang said with a happy look on his face.
"That's good."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
If they used bicycles, they could only carry these two buckets to town, which was too little.
Otherwise, you can only borrow a cart to push it, and walk back and forth, pushing two or three hundred kilograms of things, which will make you tired to death.
"Brother Zhuang, go and clean the empty buckets and basins."
Chen Wang spoke up.
"good!"
Chen Dazhuang responded, picked up an empty bucket and went to the next door to fetch water for washing.
About ten minutes later, Uncle Zhao drove over on a tractor.
"Awang, I heard you were messing around with some lobster again? Eh? It smells so good."
Uncle Zhao got off the tractor and said with surprise on his face.
"Uncle Zhao, come and try it!"
Chen Wang smiled and waved.
Uncle Zhao walked quickly to the stove and looked into the pot with curiosity.
"It smells so good. How can lobster be cooked so deliciously?"
"Try it."
Chen Wang took a bowl, scooped up a few with a spatula, put them in the bowl and handed it to him.
