Wu An coughed, glanced at the next room where the light was on, and worried that someone might be listening in, so he said, "Let's go inside."
Aqing, already carrying her bag, ran into the house first.
We went inside.
Wu An asked A Qing to open the bag, and when they saw stacks of money inside, everyone's breathing quickened.
Everyone knows that yellow butter crabs can sell for a lot of money, but no one expected them to sell for this much!
Wu An said, "Let's divide it between the eldest brother and A Qing first."
"Everyone."
Aqing chuckled happily.
"Hiss." Wu Ping gasped in shock, then his eyes flashed, and he said, "So it was sold! And it actually sold for so much money!"
"The price is about 1600 yuan per kilogram."
"This is just the purchase price; the retail price will probably double. Goodness, who can afford this?"
Everyone was astonished.
Looking at it this way, it seems quite reasonable for Lao Meng to say that the restaurant sells a single butter crab for 3888 yuan.
Li Juan's eyes welled up with tears.
He couldn't help but clench his fists, not only happy that Aqing would get so much money, but also secretly hoping that she would get a share too.
She shook her head, not daring to think any further. She felt that her idea was not good. After all, she was able to catch the yellow crab, and even Aqing was able to make money, all thanks to Wu An.
If Wu An doesn't give her a share of the money, then she can't say anything.
But then she thought about it again, and she went there later and caught quite a few yellow crabs.
Faced with such a large sum of money, no one could remain indifferent, and Li Juan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Not to mention Li Juan, Mei Yueqin's eyes also shone with admiration.
Wu An noticed that everyone was lamenting how expensive the yellow butter crab was, something most people couldn't afford.
“Things are valued for their rarity,” he chuckled. “Regardless of who can afford them, the butter crabs are already on our table.”
Even if there are farmed butter crabs in the future, let alone those that aren't currently farmed, their prices will still be very high, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.
Hearing Wu An say that, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
yes!
I'll try it later, why is it so expensive!
Wu An looked at Mei Yueqin and Li Juan and said, "Sister-in-law and Aunt Juan arrived later. According to the division of property, Sister-in-law and Aunt Juan, what do you think of this division?"
Mei Yueqin hesitated, glancing at Li Juan. If it were her, she would definitely say that she didn't need to share the money with her.
But since there are outsiders present, if she said that, Li Juan might overthink it and think that she was unwilling to share more money, which would create further discord.
She had her own doubts, feeling that Wu An had given everyone too much money, but she also knew that it wasn't her place to say anything.
Li Juan clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I have no objection at all."
"What opinions could I possibly have? I'm grateful, but I'm not in a hurry."
“If you hadn’t asked Aqing to make the call, I would still be at home mending fishing nets, not to mention that Aqing brings money home every day.”
"Without you leading him, he would be nothing."
"Aqing and I will always remember this kindness."
Wu An nodded and said, "Okay."
She picked up the money, counted it quickly, and handed it to Wu Ping. Wu Ping didn't even look at it and handed it directly to Mei Yueqin.
Wu Ping was very happy. Although the money had only passed through his hands briefly, it was the first time in all these years that he had given Mei Yueqin so much money.
It seems that some of the debts I owed to Mei Yueqing over the years have been made up for.
Wu An counted them again and gave them to A Qing, who then handed them directly to Li Juan.
One cent at a time.
Finally, he still had some left.
Including the money from selling the crabs, the total came to 160,000 yuan, with a little bit of change, only a few hundred yuan, which he didn't care about.
Old Meng said with envy, "Wow, you guys made more money in one day than others make in a month. Ah An is even more amazing; he made more money in one day than others make in a year."
Wu An said, "We were just lucky today. Typhoons don't happen every day. Even when there is a typhoon, we might not have such a good harvest. I'm afraid we won't have such good luck again."
Wu Yingwei said, "What are you envious of? Both of your children have settled down in big cities."
Old Meng shook his head: "Sigh, big cities are just like that, you still have to work hard to earn money."
"I do hope the two children can come back."
"It would be so nice to be like Ah An."
Wu An smiled. The premise was that he could make money. If he couldn't make money, he would just be a village vagrant.
With money in hand, the countryside is a paradise.
Having no money, being surrounded by dirt, and being the subject of gossip and scorn.
"Uncle Meng, don't tell anyone," Wu An couldn't help but say, even though he knew Uncle Meng would keep it a secret.
Old Meng nodded: "Okay, you really are different from before."
"Duan Qiqi just came over and bragged about it, but when I heard she only earned three or four thousand yuan."
"If she wants to earn tens of thousands of yuan, she'll be so arrogant she'll be swaggering."
Wu An smiled and said, "There's nothing to brag about."
"This is windfall, not a business that can make money in the long run."
Everyone nodded slightly as they listened.
Wu An has changed. He has become more down-to-earth and hardworking, less vain, and much more thoughtful than before.
It was as if they had suddenly grown up and matured overnight.
Wu An put away the money and called out, "I'm hungry, let's eat and chat."
After everyone tidied up, they sat around the dining table.
Steamed, braised, salt-baked, stir-fried with chili, plus a pot of fresh porridge, the blue crabs are all perfectly prepared.
The butter crab was naturally the most important dish and was placed in the very center.
The cooking method for butter crabs is no different from that of regular mud crabs, except that they are all left with broken claws, so special care needs to be taken when steaming them.
If the roe inside flows out along the broken claw, then it tastes no different from a regular blue crab.
Mei Yueqin searched for precautions on her phone, carefully steamed a plate of food, and it looked very good after it came out of the pot.
After being cut in half, you can see that the meat and roe inside have almost merged into one, and the golden color makes it look very appetizing.
Seeing that no one was moving, he got up and gave each person half, so that each person would have half.
No more, no less.
Everyone was a little reluctant to part with just half of it, but once they tasted it, they all praised how delicious it was.
Wu An ate heartily, and after finishing his meal, he took a sip of ice-cold beer and let out a comfortable burp.
While eating and drinking, Old Meng asked, "Ah An, what are your plans for the future?"
Wu An said, "Tomorrow I'm going to town to check out the fishing boats. If I find any suitable ones, I plan to buy them directly."
"It's still about a month before we leave for the sea, so we can use this time to get familiar with the area."
"First, go fishing at sea, or go to an uninhabited island to look at the sea, and then you can set up a fish trap and cast a net to catch fish."
He didn't mention his longer-term plans.
In a year or two, they will also see an investment boom.
Tourism development, the aquaculture industry, and modern agricultural development will all flourish.
He wouldn't say there are business opportunities everywhere, but as long as he can get involved, with his understanding of the future, making money is still quite easy.
He had to complete the initial capital accumulation before all of this began.
How much money do you need?
1 million? 2 million? Even three or five million is not too much. Don't underestimate the rural areas. If you really want to grow and become stronger, you need to invest a lot of money.
At that time, not only will he have to find a way to capitalize on the opportunity and make money, but Wuhu will also take off.
My father, who is a village cadre, also has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
