After working from five o'clock to half past six, more than two hundred kilograms of lobsters were finally cooked.
I used four Double Happiness enamel basins, five buckets, and two extra-large plastic basins.
There's no way. When I went to town to shop the day before yesterday, I should have bought a few large stainless steel barrels that are specially used to keep food warm.
While Chen Dazhuang and Uncle Zhao were loading the lobsters into the car, Chen Wang put a tube of noodles into the pot which still had a lot of crayfish broth left. He then went to the refrigerator and took out three eggs and some chopped roe deer meat and put them in.
After a while, the noodles were cooked.
The three of them each had a big bowl of noodles and slurped them in big mouthfuls.
"It's so delicious, Awang. If nothing else, just for this bowl of noodles, I would work for you for free."
Uncle Zhao's mouth was filled with noodles and his speech was a little slurred.
"That won't work. Your tractor costs a lot of gas to go back and forth. We can't let you do business at a loss. If we want long-term cooperation, we can both make money together."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
Uncle Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "Then I won't say anything more. I will work for you from now on."
After eating and drinking, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang got on the tractor, and Uncle Zhao drove the tractor to the town.
At around 7:40, the tractor drove to the entrance of the market and stopped.
The three of them worked together to move down the four buckets of crayfish.
"Uncle Zhao, you stay here and we'll take these barrels over to sell first."
Chen Wang said to Uncle Zhao.
"Okay, I'll stay here."
Uncle Zhao smiled and nodded.
So Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang each carried some crayfish into the market.
In order to facilitate the removal of goods from the car, the two chose a location near the entrance.
Chen Wang asked Chen Dazhuang to make another trip to bring over the remaining bucket of lobsters, as well as the towels, several bowls and enamel pots that he had brought.
"Awang, do we need to buy some disposable foam lunch boxes?"
Just as Chen Wang was about to open the lid of the barrel, Chen Dazhuang suddenly spoke.
Chen Wang looked up at him and looked in the direction of his finger.
Diagonally opposite there is a stall selling boxed lunches, selling rice and various side dishes including meat and vegetables. Next to it is a pile of white foam lunch boxes.
"Yes, we need to buy some, and we also need to buy disposable chopsticks. Brother Zhuang, go ask where we can buy them, and bring some more."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Give you money."
"No, I have some on me."
Chen Dazhuang said this and ran straight towards the stall owner.
"Come on, come on, come and take a look, delicious garlic crayfish and braised crayfish."
Chen Wang opened the lid of the barrel and shouted loudly.
In fact, he didn't even need to shout, the aroma of crayfish, which he had never smelled before, spread in the air, and passers-by gathered around.
"What is this? It smells so good."
"Yeah, why does it smell so good?"
"Lobster? No way, can lobster be cooked so deliciously?"
"That's a lot of oil, and so many spices, isn't that too much?"
"Eh? It's you, the boss. Why don't you sell fish but this stuff?"
…
Everyone was talking about it, and an old customer recognized Chen Wang and asked in surprise.
"We'll sell fish later, but let's try this today. Do you want to try it?"
Chen Wang said to the old customer with a smile.
"May I?"
The middle-aged woman looked surprised.
"Sure, can you handle spicy food?"
“Just a little bit!”
"Then try the garlic first!"
Chen Wang grabbed the claw of a garlic crayfish, picked it up and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you, how do you eat this?"
The woman took it and asked curiously.
Chen Wang took another one from the bucket and said, "You can taste it first and then peel it."
As he spoke, Chen Wang demonstrated by peeling a piece of lobster meat and putting it into his mouth.
The woman followed suit, put the lobster meat into her mouth and tasted it carefully, with a look of surprise on her face. She covered her mouth and praised:
"Oh my god, how can it be so delicious?"
The customers around who were watching the woman were also aroused by their curiosity.
"Boss, can I have a taste too?"
"And me and me..."
"I want to try it, too. Give me one."
…
The customers rushed to grab the food and some even reached out to take it.
Fortunately, Chen Wang reacted quickly and put the lid back on.
"You can try it if you want, but please don't touch it. After all, it's something we want to sell. Please understand."
Chen Wang smiled as he looked at the young man who stretched out his hand.
Under the gazes, the young man blushed and retracted his hand, complaining with disdain: "What? You just took it with your hands, so why are you blaming me? If you don't want to give it to me, forget it. This thing is very dirty, who would eat it!"
"If you don't want to eat, you can leave."
Chen Wang said calmly.
"you--"
The young man glared.
Chen Wang remained unmoved. He opened the lid of the bucket and took out lobsters to share with everyone.
When he took it, he just held the crayfish claws, so it didn't have any effect.
After a while, Chen Wang sent out twenty or thirty crayfish, each weighing about one or two kilograms.
Chen Wang didn't feel bad, he would give it to anyone who came.
After all, it is something new, and people have to try it first.
He is also very confident that most customers will be willing to spend money to buy the crayfish after tasting it.
“This is so delicious.”
"How are they made? I've caught these in the river before, and they don't taste good when cooked!"
"It should be a matter of seasoning. Look at this red oil. The boss is really willing to use oil!"
"It's incredible that this thing can be made so delicious."
"Where did you get this secret recipe, boss?"
"Boss, how much do you sell this for?"
Some people couldn't help asking.
Chen Wang smiled and said, "You can all see that I used a lot of seasonings and spices, and most importantly, a lot of oil. The cost is really high. It's three yuan per pound, and you can choose between two flavors."
“This is too expensive!”
"That's right, meat is only one pound, there's not much meat in this thing."
"It's too expensive. There are plenty of these in the river and rice fields. How can they be sold at such a high price?"
"Boss, you are a bit black-hearted!"
Customers began to complain.
Seeing this, the young man immediately joined in and sneered, "Isn't this obviously a rip-off? Three yuan a pound, you think you're selling ginseng and bird's nests? Who would buy it?"
Chen Wang ignored the young man and said to the customers with a smile: "When doing business, the main point is that it's a matter of mutual consent. I'm grateful if you're willing to buy, but it's okay if you don't buy."
At this point, Chen Wang took another braised crayfish and started peeling it, and continued, "The cleaning, processing and production process of this thing is very troublesome. I'm just trying it out. If no one buys it, I won't sell it anymore."
