The next day, Xin Andong and Xin's mother started to act after breakfast, and the two poured out all the lobsters in the big wooden barrel that had been crawling all night. Yesterday, the fried screws used up the oil at home, and it was too late to go to the agency to buy, Xin's mother borrowed two catties of oil from Aunt Cheng's family, and was asked by Aunt Cheng if she wanted to do something at home for a long time, and finally she was struggling for a while before prevaricating.

Prepare some seasonings such as green onions, ginger, garlic, spiced star anise and chili peppers, Xin's mother burns the fire, Xin Andong steps on the small bench to cook as usual, and the two work together to make all the shrimp in a large wooden barrel into spicy crayfish. Xin's mother finally witnessed her son's craftsmanship comparable to that of a chef, and she couldn't close her mouth in surprise, she made up her brain that Xin Andong was probably secretly learning to cook at home, and her moved mouth opened and opened, and she almost shed tears for her sensible son.

"Milk, you wait at home, my parents and I went to the city. ”

Xin Andong waved goodbye to his family, there were too many lobsters, two large basins and a small plastic bucket were filled, Xin Andong and Xin Wenfang were two women, a child who had no power to carry a chicken, and finally had to carry the stupid father, he had great strength, holding a basin in one hand and a bucket in the other, and walked with a tiger.

I came early today, it was only about ninety o'clock when I arrived at the county seat, and there was still some time before the meal, Xin Andong found the old place yesterday and asked my parents to put down their things and set up a stall on the spot to make preparations.

He originally thought that there should be no business before the meal, but he didn't expect that yesterday's delicious screws made him famous, and many people who couldn't stop eating fried screws yesterday came here early to wait for people.

Seeing that he really came again, everyone rushed up.

"Fortunately, you came little brother, your fried screws yesterday are really delicious, our family grabbed the screws of my porcelain jar, but I didn't eat a few, today I have to buy a few more spoonfuls anyway!"

"But no! My brother and my sister are like starving ghosts reincarnated, they all rob me, my mother doesn't know how to take care of it, I won't take it home today, I will secretly eat it on the road and go back, see them still grab a fart!"

"I bought a lot yesterday, and when I just took it home, I was scolded by my wife, saying that I was wasting money! Who knew that when I waited for dinner, the two of us almost fought over the screws of an aluminum box lunch bowl!"

"And me, and me, I didn't want to buy it yesterday, and then my co-workers bought it and brought it to the workshop, tasted one, almost regretted crying, and finally ran to find the little brother, who knew that people said that you actually sold it and went home!"

"Buy a few more spoonfuls, it's a meat anyway, it's not cheaper than buying meat!"

"It's like, it tastes amazing, and I still want to lick my fingers......"

In this era, it is actually very difficult for people to eat meat, fish and shrimp are not worth much in the countryside, but not many people in the county can often taste it.

As soon as the three members of the Xin family stood down, a group of people with white porcelain jars and aluminum box lunch basins rushed to buy screws, and Xin's mother really felt that the so-called business was hot as her son said, but they didn't make fried screws today, did anyone buy crayfish? Thinking of the 'high price' set by her son, Xin's mother was always uneasy in her heart.

However, it turns out that she was wrong.

The spicy crayfish is famous, and the smell of fragrant insects hooks the insects, as soon as Xin Andong unveils the white gauze, it causes everyone's saliva to secrete quickly.

The taste of spicy crayfish is still very different from the taste of fried screws, and people with sharp noses can smell this difference.

"Your family doesn't sell screws today and sells lobsters instead?" the man glanced into the basin twice, holding the porcelain jar a little hesitantly.

The screw is delicious does not mean that the lobster is delicious, but the taste is as attractive as ever, but after a while, the people who are undetermined and can't leave are conquered.

"Sensei is talking nonsense, little brother, how much is a spoonful of your lobster, quickly bring me three spoonfuls, this is almost the time to eat, I can't help but be hungry, hurry up and scoop me home, and my daughter is waiting for dinner!" A middle-aged man in navy blue overalls with sleeves rolled up on his arms couldn't wait to stretch out the white porcelain jar in his hand.

This person is refreshing, Xin Andong does not beat around the bush, and said directly, "Uncle, we just prepared for business yesterday, today my mother specially brought the scale from home, and in the future, the screws will be sold for a pound of money, and the lobster will be a pound for a pound, how much do you want?"

Sure enough, the middle-aged man didn't have any objection to the price, thought about it and said, "Then give me a catty, and I'll come to your house to buy it after it's delicious." ”

"Haole, you are our first guest today, give you three shrimps, come back later. "Xin'an Dong Ma slips the lobster on the scale.

The iron weighing pan was washed clean, and a white porcelain bowl brought from home was placed on top of it, which was dedicated to lobster.

Xin Andong is a gold medal accountant in modern times, but it is the first time to use this old-fashioned rod scale, and he has practiced it at home, and he has grasped it in place, so that he has smooth movements for a while, and he has been weighing the lobster for a while, pouring the lobster in the white porcelain bowl into the porcelain jar stretched out by the middle-aged man, and then scooping some soup for him, "Pour some juice to taste, eat fragrant, you have a dollar of lobster, walk slowly." ”

The middle-aged man turned the porcelain jar upside down, and remembered the action of adding three lobsters to the weight of one pound just now, and smiled with satisfaction, "The little baby is quite good at doing business, and the taste is not bad, and the uncle will come back later." ”

"Our family doesn't boast, the taste is exquisite, and everyone who can eat understands it. Xin Andong replied with a smile without modesty, causing a group of guests in front of him to smile kindly.

Xin Wenfang nervously took the paper ticket handed by the man, was stunned for a while, and put it in his pocket with a happy and excited smile on his face.

With the first single customer, the following is much faster, people with porcelain jars are scrambling to buy lobsters, and with yesterday's experience, everyone has learned well, it's okay to buy a little more, don't save money, when the family can't grab food and catch it by the collective!

Xin Wenfang took the rod scale in her son's hand, from the beginning of a little flustered and hurried, to the back more and more sharp, than Xin Andong, a beginner to use the scale to be more handy, the corners of her mouth are big, the flushed face is full of warm and joyful smiles, gradually, she has always been shy and does not like to talk to the guests who ask at any time to chat a few words.

Today's lobster brings more, but there are more guests attracted by yesterday's screws, Xin Andong's little hand is busy collecting money while giving change, thanks to his experience in collecting money in his previous life, busy but not chaotic, very organized, and even have the leisure to flatten the fragmented paper tickets.

"Hey, don't rob it all, leave some for me!"

Xin Andong was counting the money, fantasizing that when he had money in the future, he could continue to travel around the world and eat all the food in the world, when he suddenly heard an angry voice, he stopped counting the money and looked up.

It was the boy who was going to buy a piece of his basin yesterday.

I saw that he was holding two white porcelain jars in his arms and hurriedly drilled forward, regardless of how dissatisfied the people in front of him were, pushing and shoving a domineering one had to rush to the front, he panted and stretched the two porcelain jars in front of Xin Andong, and shouted breathlessly, "Hurry up!"

Xin Andong's eyes lit up, the local tyrant, he didn't count the money, he stuffed it directly into his pocket, took the boy's two huge deep-mouthed white porcelain jars, and said with a smile, "No problem, but the price of the lobster sold today is not the same as that of screws, one dollar and one catty." ”

"It's okay, I brought the money, just take care of it!" The boy waved his hand like a big money, and seemed to be looking down on one piece or two pieces, only staring at the red oil and shiny lobster in the bucket and swallowing saliva, he sniffed, "Your lobster smells so fragrant, more fragrant than yesterday's screws, hey, I knew I should have brought two more porcelain jars, is this enough to eat?"

After taking the full porcelain jar that Xin Wenfang gave him with lobster, Tong Zhenghao muttered two sentences with joy and confusion.

"If you don't have enough to eat today, you can come here again tomorrow, my family will sell lobsters tomorrow, oh, by the way, and screws, they are all sold." Xin Andong took the paper ticket he handed over and said with a smile.

As a foodie, Xin Andong knew at a glance that Tong Zhenghao was also a glutton, and he said a few more words when he thought about taking care of his own business after establishing a good relationship with him.

Tong Zhenghao thought about it, but he thought of a better trick, and smiled and stuffed a piece of money into Xin Andong's hand, "Child, this is a deposit, I will come to buy lobsters and screws tomorrow, but your business is too good I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, so you have to keep it for me, lobsters and screws, two catties each, remember!"

After speaking, he ran away without looking back.

"This person!" Xin Andong pinched the paper ticket in his hand and almost laughed angrily, he thought it was very beautiful, the same price would be kept for him, if he didn't come to the stall, would it be difficult to wait for him? I didn't expect this gluttonous boy to be quite shrewd, with long legs, and a thief who slipped fast, and he didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Forget it, just stay, it's best to buy more here at his house in the future, who will let his family serve well.

Looking at a pot and a bucket of lobster, but sell very quickly, at this time the national policy has just been released, not much business, people in the city have spare money in their hands, but there are not many varieties of things that can be bought, so everyone rarely tastes delicious and unique crayfish, almost people passing by will follow the trend and stop to ask old customers, and then there are people who like to eat will buy a few taels, a person buys not much, a few taels and a few taels look insignificant, but all the people together together purchasing power is very considerable.

All the lobsters were sold out, the soup at the bottom of the basin was also snatched up, and the smile on the corner of Xin Andong's mouth couldn't be stopped by touching the bulging waist bag.

The crowd finally dispersed, Xin Wenfang put down the scale, took a breath, and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Silly Da Zhuang only occasionally helps to carry things and hand porcelain rice bowls to guests, is the most idle of the three, seeing that his daughter-in-law is busy sweating, he is anxious and distressed to ask, "Fangfang, tired, come, drink saliva." Hurriedly handed the porcelain jar filled with water that Xin Andong specially explained to Xin Wenfang's mouth.

She lowered her head and took a sip, her smoking throat was finally better, and she smiled and said to her stupid husband, "It's just that squatting up and down is a little sore, but it's much easier than doing farm work at home." ”

She doesn't charge money, but she has eyes to see, and her son's big smile with a small mouth obviously earns a lot of money, and after earning money, she is down-to-earth, and her eyes look in the direction of the south of the county, and she is more stable and energetic.

"Bring a small bench tomorrow, Mom, you can sit down, so your waist won't be sore. Xin Andong said while packing up his things, and then said, "Mom, there is still a little less seasoning at home, I want to buy more." ”

Xin Wenfang touched his son's head, "You have the idea of these, the oil borrowed from Cheng Cheng today will be returned to others, you have to go to the grain and oil shop, by the way, Dongzi, you will start school in a few days, can this business still be done?"

Mother suddenly frowned, Xin Andong didn't need to think about this problem at all, "It's okay, when I go back, I'll tell my mother about the lobster and screws, and I'll go to school in a few days, Mom, you can also make it yourself and sell it." ”

"Me?" Xin Wenfang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with no confidence and hesitation, "This, can I do it?"

"What's not to do, Mom, I'll tell you, the method of crayfish and screws is simple and simple, as long as you take care of the heat and pay attention to the amount of seasoning, the taste will definitely be no different, besides, your son has a recipe in his head, I write it down and you can think about it slowly, and you will be able to get started soon." ”

Selling crayfish was originally a livelihood method prepared by Xin Andong for his family, and he himself was still a 13-year-old child who went to school, so it was definitely impossible not to go to school to do business, and the family would not agree, so it was inevitable to teach Xin's mother.

Being said by Xin Andong, Xin Wenfang settled down, she also knew that she could only learn it by herself, otherwise the business would be yellow, besides, how could a rural woman not know how to cook, the taste was just like what her son said, how much worse could it be if she followed the recipe?

With confidence, Xin Wenfang's walking steps seemed to be much brisker.

After beating five catties of oil, I bought a lot of spices, spiced star anise or something, wrapped a big bag in kraft paper, passed by the butcher shop, Xin Wenfang gritted her teeth for a long time, and thought of her son's sparse and yellowed hair, and cut a small piece of pork belly ruthlessly and luxuriously, spending almost 6 yuan, Xin Andong's family of three happily went home.

The Tong family waited for Jiang Xuanzong to arrive at home, and immediately started the meal, and the red and spicy lobster that Tong Zhenghao bought was simply killing the green beans, braised pork and a silver carp cooked by the canteen master Fu in seconds.

These three dishes almost did not pass the chopsticks, Old Man Tong, Jiang Xuanzong, Tong Zhenghao, plus a Tong Xiaoyu who was busy catching thieves yesterday and didn't have time to go home, the four of them rolled up their sleeves and feasted on the lobster in the middle of the deep-mouthed sea bowl.

After the meal, Tong Xiaoyu burped with satisfaction, lay on the chair and patted Tong Zhenghao's shoulder, and sighed: "Brother, my sister's happiness in the future depends on you, plus the screws you owed me yesterday, I will have to prepare a pound for each person tomorrow." ”

I regret thinking about it, yesterday in order to catch such a little thief, she actually missed the fried screws praised by the old man's strength, why is she so stupid!

"Hey!" Tong Zhenghao angrily shook off Tong Xiaoyu's hand on his shoulder, "When do I owe you, I want to eat and buy it myself, I don't have enough to eat, can I share it with you, is it my generosity!" Saying that, Tong Zhenghao glanced at Jiang Xuanzong, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and said with a vicious voice, "Cousin, you are too good to eat, don't think I don't know, you eat the most in our family." ”

There are a lot of lobster shells in front of him, usually looking at a serious person, and he is more powerful than anyone else! Everyone is yelling and shouting, shouting and screaming, he is quiet, his eyes are fast, and in the end no one can snatch him......

Jiang Xuanzong took a leisurely sip of tea, put down the cup, looked at Tong Zhenghao, and replied in a good mood, "I'll give you money tomorrow." ”

The Tong family is spicy, and Jiang Xuanzong's half of the Tong family is not too much, and the taste of spicy crayfish is very good for the taste of the Tong family, and it also hooks Jiang Xuanzong's tongue.

Tong Zhenghao gritted his teeth: "......" Master has money, so don't run errands for you one by one!
