Liu Qingshan dug up the yam and sent it to the county seat early the next morning.

After wholesale the yams to the vendors, they went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables non-stop.

This vegetable market is quite large, and there are many kinds of vegetables and rice.

On the first floor is the food area, where you can enjoy a variety of delicacies such as dried goods, spices, cold dishes, roast chicken and duck, raw meat, vegetables, fish, and seafood.

The second floor is the clothing area, which sells some cheaper clothes.

Entering the aquatic area on the first floor, Liu Qingshan asked a few stalls selling crabs, and the prices they got were all the same, 90 yuan a catty.

Tsk, that's a lot more expensive than pork. Liu Qingshan's heart trembled.

However, since I promised my mother to buy crabs, I could only endure the pain of cutting meat and buy two catties of crabs to go home.

Although crab does not have much meat, it is very portional.

A crab that doesn't look very big has to be about three or two. Therefore, two catties of crabs are only six.

Well, a crab is worth thirty dollars.

Nima, that's enough to buy a pound of pork!

However, thinking about the appearance of my mother when she looked at the crab in her mobile phone, I still felt that this crab was worth buying.

Besides, isn't money just for spending?

Moreover, six crabs, a family of three, how can one person get two, it is enough to taste it, and if you are full, you really dare not think about it.

As soon as he returned to the yard, before the car stopped, Liu Qingshan shouted into the house: "Mom, I'm back." ”

Hearing the voice, Wu Cuimei ran out of the hall full of joy: "Qingshan, you're back, have you bought the crab?"

Liu Qingshan looked at his mother speechlessly: "Mom, your son has been running around all morning, and you know that you care about crabs, and you don't care about whether your son is thirsty, hungry or not, cold or cold." ”

Wu Cuimei slapped her son's arm: "Don't talk nonsense, what about the crab?"

"Na Na Na Na, this one, here you go. Liu Qingshan took out the crab from the untied snakeskin bag and stuffed it into his mother's arms.

Carrying a heavy foam box, Wu Cuimei was so happy that her wrinkles were squeezed out: "Qingshan, it seems to be a lot, how much did you buy?"

"It's not much, just two catties. When he said this, his heart was dripping blood.

Two catties is almost two hundred yuan.

Nima, with this money to buy pork, you can buy six or seven catties.

But he didn't dare to say it, so he said lightly: "It's only sixty or seventy yuan in total." ”

Hearing this, Wu Cuimei was even happier. I thought that this crab would cost a lot of money, but I didn't expect that it was really only about 30 yuan a catty. Moreover, his son was also generous, and he bought two catties at once.

If Liu Yuanhe knew about this, it was estimated that the whole village would have to show off.

Holding the crab, Wu Cuimei ran to the house with brisk steps, found a basin of water, a pair of scissors, opened the foam box, and put six large crabs many times larger than the small mountain crabs in the mountains into the basin.

For a mountain person like her, who has never seen a big crab in her life, such a crab weighing about three taels is really a big crab.

Although there are crabs in the mountains, those crabs are small, the largest is estimated to be the size of a walnut, but most of them are the size of thumb nails.

Those crabs grow in the muddy ground with water in the mountains, and every summer and autumn when they enter the mountains, as long as they dig their fingers into the wet mud holes, they will definitely be able to pull out a few small crabs.

However, the crab was so small that no one ate it.

Liu Qingshan followed in, and when he saw his mother staring at the crab, he didn't feel sorry for the two hundred yuan.

As long as my mother is happy, it doesn't matter if I have money or not, my mother is happy.

After eating lunch and telling his mother not to let the chickens and ducks run in and eat the big crabs, Liu Qingshan had to go into the mountains to dig yams.

With the passage of time, the yam inventory in the mountain is decreasing day by day, and now I have to dig for half a day today, and I have to dig for another day tomorrow to barely dig more than 200 catties of yams.

If you put it in the past, if you dig for a day and a half, you can definitely dig up 400 catties of yams.

However, although the yam inventory has decreased, this is not what Liu Qingshan is most worried about.

He is still more worried about whether the crabs at home will meet the big rooster at home. My mother was so happy to see the crab today, and I don't know if she will forget his advice before entering the mountain.

If she forgets to close the door when she is working in the vegetable field in the afternoon, the big in the house is really going crazy.

Although the big rooster in the family is also a male animal, as a leader in a male-inferior world with three wives and four concubines, it will never be bullied by the female in the family like the men of the old Liu family.

It is not only rigid, but also flute, which basically belongs to the kind of existence that directly starts to dry when you see what is not pleasant.

It chased ducks, pounced on snakes, cats, and pecked at the second uncle's little Jiji.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan was digging yams in the mountains, and he was very worried. You say, if those two hundred dollars crab were so troubled by the big rooster, how distressed it would be.

Thinking of this, he didn't have any intention of digging yams today, so after digging sixty or seventy catties of yams, he hurriedly called it a day and went home.

When he arrived at the yard, he saw his mother grabbing his slippers and chasing the big from afar.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, his mother threw his slippers at the big—

Hey, I got it.

However, instead of hitting the big, it successfully smashed into the poop of the ducks in the yard.

Liu Qingshan looked at his poor slippers, then at the arrogant that was confronting his mother from afar with his neck up, and finally at his scolding mother.

"I told you to kill this chicken a long time ago, and if you don't kill it, you will know that you are causing trouble all day long. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingshan chuckled, as if he heard the sound of his own heartbreak.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Liu Qingshan asked as he walked briskly towards his mother, "Is the crab gone?" Didn't I let you take a good look at it? I told you before I entered the mountain, be careful of the big at home. ”

He turned his head sharply and glared at the big rooster not far away, and suddenly made up some pictures in his mind: fragrant yam stewed chicken, kudzu stewed chicken, golden shredded chicken, salt-baked chicken, and the original white-cut chicken and salted chicken.

However, these are all later words, and for now, we still have to go to the scene of the crime first.

Carrying the yam, ignoring his mother's explanation, he rushed into the house to check.

Standing in the corridor by the patio, looking at the water basin in the patio still dangling with six intact big crabs, Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at his mother happily and funny: "Mom, isn't this crab okay?"

"I didn't say anything was wrong with the crabs. Wu Cuimei picked up Liu Qingshan's other slippers and threw them at the big rooster not far away.

Looking at the innocent duck who accidentally hit her shoe, Wu Cuimei turned around and walked into the house, and continued: "Didn't I just say that the damn chicken spoiled all the vegetables, not that it spoiled the crabs." ”

Liu Qingshan had just been preoccupied with checking the crabs in the house, and he didn't notice his mother's explanation at all. At this time, his mother said this, and he suddenly noticed that at the door of the hall, there was still a small cabbage scattered.

"Mom, how can there be baby cabbage in our house?" Liu Qingshan looked at the green and white, although it was broken, it still showed the fresh and tender little cabbage, and he was distressed.

Every day with red cabbage and wild yams, is this the life of a man? If you continue to eat like this, you will go crazy. Now it's hard to see such a good little cabbage, but it's all ruined!

Wu Cuimei walked in, and while cleaning up the little cabbage on the ground, she said: "This is given by your village chief and aunt, at noon she and your village chief uncle went into the mountains to pull wood, and by the way, she sent a lot of small cabbage to our family, but who knows, I went to poop, and it was all ruined by the big rooster." ”

Hearing that it was given by the village chief's aunt, Liu Qingshan hurriedly said: "Mom, then why don't you call the village chief and his family to eat at home, it just so happens that there are crabs today." ”

"I kept it, but she said she wouldn't eat it, and said that she often had crabs to eat at home. Wu Cuimei couldn't figure this out, so she frowned and muttered, "According to the life style of your village chief's uncle and your village chief's aunt, how can there be crabs to eat often?"

Liu Qingshan smiled: "You don't understand this, the village chief and aunt are such a kind person, they must know that this is the first time our family has bought crabs, and it is also the first time we have eaten crabs, so I said that I often eat them." ”

"Why do you say that?" Wu Cuimei's mind didn't turn for a moment.

"Of course, it's so that we can eat more. With such a luxurious thing, how could she be embarrassed to eat?"

"Didn't you say that this crab is only 30 yuan a pound, is it very extravagant?"

"Well, thirty dollars a pound is also very luxurious. Liu Qingshan realized that he almost missed his mouth, so he hurriedly remedied, "You think, these crabs, they look like a lot, but there is very little meat, but they cost dozens of yuan, so it's not extravagant." ”

Wu Cuimei nodded innocently: "That's good, if these crabs are more than a hundred yuan, then I can't bear to eat them." ”

"No, it's not that expensive, it's just a few dozen dollars. ”

Wu Cuimei looked at her son and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will rest assured." At noon, as soon as your village chief and aunt left, several other aunts in the village also came into the house to sit down and beg for a bowl of tea, but when they saw crabs, they half-jokingly said that they hadn't eaten crabs for a long time and wanted to stay for dinner. ”
