Time flew by and it was July. Yun Yan had been thinking about making money. But she didn't seem to have the aura of a protagonist. For other protagonists, making money was as easy as pooping.
That day, Yunyan was cutting grass for pigs in the mountains as usual. Halfway through, Huzi suddenly gave Yunyan a roasted loach.
"Sister Yun, this is for you to eat."
Yun Yan lost her appetite instantly after looking at the black loach: "Sister doesn't like loach, Hu Zi, you eat it."
After hearing Yunyan's words, Huzi put the loach in his hand into his mouth and bit it. Yunyan saw a few other little guys playing with loaches.
Now is the season when loaches and eels are rampant. The fields and ditches of the brigade are full of loaches and eels.
Yun Yan suddenly had an idea. Could she cook the loaches and eels and sell them on the black market?
She did it as soon as she thought of it and quickly called Hu Zi over. "Hu Zi, I'll give you two candies. Can you help me catch some loaches and eels?"
"Sister Yun, don't you dislike eating loaches?"
"Sister doesn't like roasted loaches, but she knows a way to cook them. The cooked loaches are a hundred times more delicious than roasted ones."
"A hundred times more delicious than grilled loach? Then I want to eat it too." Hu Zi is also a foodie.
"Okay, catch the loaches and I'll cook them for you."
After hearing Yun Yan's words, Hu Zi immediately took his friends to catch loaches.
In less than an hour, Hu Zi brought a small bucket of loaches. The loaches had to be kept overnight to spit out the mud and sand. Yun Yan then made an appointment with Hu Zi and the others to come to her house for lunch tomorrow at noon.
After Hu Zi and the others left, Yun Yan entered the space, found the seasonings she had bought before, and then went to Aunt Zhang to exchange them for some ginger, garlic and chili peppers.
The next day, with the help of Hu Zi and the others, Yun Yan cut enough grass for two baskets of pigs early in the morning, and then took the little kids home.
Yun Yan found some picture books for them to read, and then started to pack the loaches.
Take out the loaches that have been raised for a day and clean them one by one, then use salt to wash off the mucus and blood on the surface of the loaches.
Then drain the loach and add the ingredients and marinate for twenty minutes.
Pour oil into the pan, sprinkle some salt when the oil is hot, then pour in the loach and fry until both sides are golden brown.
Then put oil in the pot, add ginger, garlic and chili after the oil is hot, and finally pour in the fried loach, stir-fry over high heat for three minutes, then add rice wine and stir-fry for two minutes before serving.
In addition to loach, Yun Yan also made a steamed eggplant. After all the dishes were ready, Yun Yan asked Hu Zi and the others to come in and eat.
Hu Zi and his friends had smelled the fragrance long ago and had been waiting at the kitchen door. When they heard Yun Yan say that it was time to eat, they couldn't wait to go over.
"Sister Yun, this loach is really more delicious than meat." Hu Zi said.
"I have never eaten such delicious loach. Sister Yun, you are amazing." Tiezhu followed.
"Sister Yun, I want to eat it again tomorrow." Gou Zi continued to eat even though he was sweating profusely from the spicy food.
Seeing how happily they were eating, Yunyan picked up her chopsticks and picked up one herself. It was spicy and crispy, even the bones were crispy. It was really good.
Yun Yan decided to make ten kilograms and go to the black market to test the waters. Anyway, she had her own space, so if she met the red armbands, she could just put the things in the space. If they couldn't find the things, they couldn't do anything to her.
Yun Yan asked Hu Zi and the others to help catch more loaches, and if they encountered any eels, they could also catch them.
Because Yunyan promised them that as long as they caught loaches, she would make spicy loaches for them again, so Hu Zi and the others were very happy.
In one afternoon, Hu Zi and his friends caught more than 20 kilograms of loaches. Yun Yan moved out the large jar that she had bought to pickle pickles, and put the loaches in to raise them to spit out the mud.
The loaches in the tank were kept for a day and a night. Yun Yan started to clean up the loaches after lunch. After three hours of hard work, she finally cleaned up all the loaches.
After all the loaches were fried, Yun Yan filled each of Hu Zi and the others' bowls with the loaches and told them to take them home to eat and bring the bowls back tomorrow.
After dinner, Yunyan packed the loaches separately in paper bags, each bag weighing one kilogram.
The next step was to decide on the price. Pork on the black market was 1.5 yuan per pound, so Yun Yan decided to sell the spicy loach at 1 yuan per pound.
Although loaches are everywhere in the countryside, frying them yourself requires a lot of oil, ingredients, and time. If you can't even sell them for one dollar, then there's no need to make them.
The next morning, Yun Yan rode her bicycle to the county town, found a deserted place, entered the space, and disguised herself as a rural woman in her thirties.
He took a basket and put the packaged loaches in it, then went to the location of the black market that he had inquired about in advance. The black market was near the county hospital.
As I approached the door, I saw two people standing guard, looking back and forth. When they saw Yun Yan coming, they came forward and asked fiercely, "What are you doing here?"
Yun Yan lifted a corner of the basket for them to take a look before covering it again. "I have some things I want to see if anyone wants to buy."
Finally, after she paid two cents in management fee, the two men let her in.
After entering the black market, Yun Yan found an inconspicuous corner and stood there. Just like before, she lifted a corner of the cloth covering the basket to reveal the loaches inside. It was enough for people to know what she was selling.
After a while, someone came to ask the price: "Sister, what are you selling?"
"Homemade spicy loach, spicy, crispy and delicious. Would you like a pack?"
"What's so delicious about loach?"
Yun Yan took out a bag of loose spicy loaches and gave her one: "Here, try it yourself and see if it tastes good."
"Is this loach? Why is it different from the ones I made before?" I had bought and cooked loach before, and it had a fishy smell. How come the one she made tasted so good?
"I made this using my family's ancestral method. Look at the stuff wrapped around the loach." Yun Yan started to talk nonsense.
"Yeah, it's really delicious. I'll buy it back for my husband to eat as a snack. How much is it?"
"One yuan a bag, and each bag weighs one kilogram."
"This is too expensive! Pork is only one dollar and fifty cents. How can you sell loaches so expensive when they are everywhere in the countryside?"
"My loach is already cooked. Look how much ingredients I used. I even fried it in oil. Oil is so expensive these days."
Finally, the woman bought a bag. After paying, she took the bag of loaches that Yun Yan handed to her and weighed it: "Is this enough? Don't leave any less."
"Don't worry, this bag weighs one pound, no more, no less, and it's definitely enough."
After the woman left, a few more people came and bought a pack each after trying the food. About an hour and a half later, all fifteen packs of spicy loaches Yun Yan had brought were sold out.
After packing up her things, Yun Yan left the black market and went to the place where water tanks were sold. She planned to buy two large water tanks to raise loaches.
