Chapter 23 Spicy Crayfish
"Okay, that's it, let's eat at my house in the evening, if you're worried about your parents, you can call back." ”
As long as you like to eat, the most important thing Ye Lin here is delicious, if you want to get a man's heart, you have to control a man's stomach, and this is also good for girls.
Ye Lin didn't mean that he wanted to have something to do with Li Ting, but his mother Li Ran liked Li Ting, so Ye Lin could only follow her.
"Hmm. Li Ting nodded.
Ye Lin looked up at the sun and said, "There is still a while before you can eat, I'll take you to a place first." ”
"Good. ”
Ye Lin took Li Ting to the yard he was going to use to store the rags, and no one had come yet, Ye Lin opened the door and said to Li Ting, "Let's go, go in." ”
"Ye Lin, what kind of place is this?"
"It's not a place, it's just an empty yard, but don't tell anyone about it. ”
"Auntie can't say it too?"
The aunt in Li Ting's mouth is, of course, Ye Lin's mother Li Ran, this girl has not met Li Ran a few times, but she has a natural affection for Li Ran, and even she herself can't tell what's going on.
"No, no one can say it, at least not now. ”
"Well, I see, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. ”
"That's good. ”
"But there's nothing here!" Seeing this empty courtyard, Li Ting didn't understand why Ye Lin didn't let him tell others.
"It's nothing now, but it's later. ”
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Wei came over with more than a dozen children in the compound, each of these guys carrying a woven bag, and I don't know where they got these woven bags.
"Two fools, we're here. ”
"Come in, pour things on the ground, don't fall them together. ”
"Good. ”
More than a dozen children, each poured a pile, there were many types, there were newspapers, there were paper shells, and some broken copper and iron, which were usually sold to scrap collectors, and at most they were exchanged for a few pieces of sugar.
Ye Lin first pulled Liu Wei's pile and said, "Two cents and seven." ”
"Ahh
He also thought that it would be good for him to sell a bunch of cents, but he didn't expect Ye Lin to give him two cents and seven, which is definitely a lot of money for a child.
"It's not much, it's not much, okay, throw the scrap metal over there, the paper shell over here, the newspaper over there. ”
"Understood. Liu Wei hurriedly put away his pile of rags according to Ye Lin's request.
After giving Liu Wei two cents and seven, Ye Lin came to another pile, also casually pulled it, stood up and said, "Xiao Guyan is three cents and two." ”
"What? No!" Originally, Liu Wei thought that it was the people he organized to pick up waste, but Ye Lin gave him more money, but he didn't expect that there were more people than him, which also shows that the things he picked up today are really worth two cents and seven.
Don't underestimate Ye Lin's pull, before this, Ye Lin had already gone to the state-owned scrap collection station, and he was clear about the prices of all kinds of rags, and then used his super brain to calculate the accounts in minutes.
"Hu Tian, a dime. ”
"Liu Yaofeng, two cents three. ”
"Chen Dengke, two cents and six. ”
"Liao Yifan, Sanmao. ”
"Huang Dafang, one dime four. ”
"Liu Feng, two cents two. ”
"Hu Wei, two cents and three. ”
“......”
“......”
Ye Lin paid the money, and these guys put the things separately according to what Ye Lin said, and they didn't feel it at first, but when these things were put away in different categories, they became piles of rags.
Now it's just a rough classification, and when I look back, Ye Lin will divide them more carefully when he has time, such as the pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, you know, copper is much more expensive than iron, and copper is also divided into brass and red copper.
Red copper is more expensive than brass, almost three times that of brass, and in this era, the price of scrap iron is not cheap, a kilogram of scrap iron, you can sell it for two cents when you go to a state-run scrap collection station.
"Second fool, will you still accept it tomorrow?" Just as he was about to leave, Liao Yifan turned around and asked Ye Lin.
"Collect, of course, every day at this time, I will come and collect. ”
"Great. ”
After they left, Ye Lin locked the door and left with Li Ting, and the two of them went home directly, because it was almost time for their mothers Li Ran and Ye Qi to come back, and it was best to get home before they came back.
After Ye Lin arrived home, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to take a look, although he didn't turn on the fire when he left, but after such a long time, the smell had already come out, Ye Lin hurriedly turned on the stove and prepared to burn it for a while.
"Wow, it's so fragrant!Brother, what delicious did you get?" At this time, Li Ran and Ye Qi came back, and they smelled the fragrance of spicy crayfish as soon as they entered the backyard.
"Sister, you said it was delicious, what else did you ask. ”
"Tingting is here?" Li Ran didn't care about this, and when he saw that Li Ting was also there, he came up and asked.
"Hello Auntie. ”
"Good, good, eat at home in the evening. ”
"Thank you, Auntie. ”
"You kid, it's polite to come here, just be at home. ”
"Hmm. ”
After greeting Li Ting, Li Ran looked at Ye Lin and asked, "Son, what are you doing?"
"Spicy crayfish. ”
"Spicy crayfish?" Crayfish Li Ran knew, because she caught a lot in the creek when she was a child, but it was the first time she had heard of spicy crayfish, but she was relieved to think that her son was doing some strange things.
"Hmm. Ye Lin nodded.
"Okay, you can get it, I don't have to cook at night, right?"
"No, it's enough to eat. ”
Ye Lin made twelve catties of crayfish, although crayfish don't have much meat, and the average person is only four catties, but it should be enough to eat, don't forget, there are three children here.
And this four catties is not the same as the four catties in the restaurant, eating in the restaurant, saying that it is four catties, it is good to have three catties, here, four catties is four catties, and it will not be less at all.
After talking to his mother, Ye Lin pulled Ye Qi aside and said, "Sister, do you want to make money?"
"How to make money?"
Although Ye Qi is not a fan of money, she is still very interested in money, mainly because Ye Lin has pocket money since she was a child, but she does not, even if she goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, it is for the family, and it has nothing to do with her.
"Remember that box of comic books in my house?"
"Of course I remember, that's your baby, and you won't be allowed to move if I move. ”
Those comic books were bought by Ye Lin before, and he was originally going to rent them out to earn some pocket money, but later he found out that these children in the compound had no money at all, so they didn't stop.
But now it's different, these guys are now scavenging, and they have money in their hands, but Ye Lin can't look down on it anymore, he can't look down on it, but Ye Qi can.
"So, after dinner, you can take out those comic strips and put them at the gate of our courtyard, so that everyone can see them, and they will pay a penny for a book. ”
Hearing Ye Lin say that let the children in the miscellaneous courtyard read it, and it costs a penny to read a copy, Ye Qi shook his head and said, "I think it's better to forget it, you don't know that the children in our miscellaneous courtyard don't have money at all." ”
"Sister, what you said was before, and now that they have it, you can believe me, in this way, you go and try it, if it doesn't work, then don't get it. ”
Comic books are definitely the favorite of those half-grown children in this era, but if you let them buy them, it is estimated that they are not reluctant, after all, even in this era, comic books are not cheap, but if you say that it costs a penny to read a book, there are still many people who go to see it.
"Alright then, I'll try it after dinner. ”
"That's right! Try and nothing. ”
"Son, the pot is boiling. Li Ran shouted over there.
"Oh, here it is. ”
When Ye Lin came back, the pot was already boiling, but the fire was relatively small and not too big, and now that the stove was open, it was not fast.
Ye Lin went over, turned off the stove, and said to Li Ran, "Mom, help me bring the pot in." ”
There are more than ten catties of crayfish in the pot alone, plus so much water, of course it is not something that Ye Lin, a ten-year-old child, can serve, there is no way, Ye Lin can only ask his mother to help serve it.
"Okay, get out of the way. ”
After Ye Lin stepped aside, Li Ran came over and brought the pot up, brought it directly into the hall, and put it on the table in the hall, and at this time, Ye Qi and Li Ting couldn't wait.
No way, the fragrance of spicy crayfish is too tempting, not to mention Li Ting and Ye Qi, who have never eaten it, even Ye Lin, who often ate it in his previous life, drooled.
"Eat. Ye Lin opened the lid of the pot.
Before he could get started, he was patted by Li Ran and said, "Wash your hands." ”
When Ye Lin and the others came back after washing their hands, Li Ran had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and when he saw the three people coming in, he said, "Eat quickly, don't use your hands." ”
"Mom, if you don't start eating crayfish, how can you eat it? In this way, it is better to put the crayfish in a bowl and cool it first, or eat it with your hands. Ye Lin said as he demonstrated.
Except for Ye Lin, even Li Ran has never eaten it, so they all watch how Ye Lin eats, in fact, eating crayfish is very simple, grab the head of the crayfish with one hand, grab the tail with the other, break it, and you can eat it.
"How's it going, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious. Ye Qi said vaguely while eating.
Swallowing the shrimp meat in his mouth, Ye Qi picked up another one and asked, "By the way, brother, where did you get these crayfish?"
"I bought it, and when I went out to play today, I saw someone selling this, so I bought it. ”
"Then buy some next time. ”
Hearing Ye Qi's words, Li Ran knocked on her head with chopsticks and said, "I haven't finished eating this yet, I'm thinking about next time." ”
"Mom, it's delicious!"
