Although it was already seven o'clock, it was now August and it was getting dark late.

Taking advantage of the faint sunset, Xu Fang and Fan Fan came to a small river.

took out a long shrimp pot, Xu Fang took out the prepared dough, stuffed three of them into it, dragged the head with his left hand, and threw it forward with the tail of the cage with his right hand, the shrimp pot stretched out instantly, and then fell into the water.

There is a rope at the head of the shrimp pot, which is used to tie it to a fixed object on the shore to prevent the shrimp pot from being washed away by large fish or other factors. Xu Fang erected a branch on the shore and tied the shrimp pot to it.

"Uncle, is that okay?" asked Fan Fan curiously.

"Yes, I'll pick it up early tomorrow morning. Xu Fang explained with a smile.

"Can Fan Fan come with Uncle tomorrow?" asked Fan Fan again.

"Okay, but I'll be here tomorrow at seven o'clock, can you get up?" asked Xu Fang.

"Yes!" Fan Fan said immediately.

The shrimp pot is very fast, as long as you find the right water, throw the shrimp pot inside, and come tomorrow morning to pick it up.

After Xu Fang put all the seven shrimp pots away, he followed Fan Fan back home.

When he got home, Xu Fang took a shower with cold water and went back to his room to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, at half past six, Xu Yi opened his eyes. After getting up, Xu Fang walked towards the toilet.

After a happy relief, Xu Fang couldn't help but be stunned when he turned around.

In rural areas, a thatched house is generally built in the innermost part of the yard, and Baimei's family is no exception. There was no door, and as soon as Xu Fang turned around, he happened to find that Bai Mei was just about to come in.

Xu Fang, who hadn't mentioned his pants yet, was a little embarrassed for a while.

Bai Mei was also stunned at the moment, she didn't expect Xu Fang to get up so early. Although she didn't want to look at it, Xu Fang was standing there, the place was so small, she couldn't help her if she didn't look at it.

Men in the morning, more or less have some physiological reactions.

And Xu Fang's capital is already strong, and the strong roots make Bai Mei only feel like a cat scratching in her heart. I want to leave, but I can't take my eyes off it.

Xu Fang reacted after being stunned for a short time, hurriedly picked up his clothes and said embarrassedly: "I'll go out." ”

"Good, good. Bai Mei's mind was a little empty, so she simply responded twice, and after Xu Fang left, Bai Mei came back to her senses, and her face turned red as soon as she brushed it: "This calf, it's really big enough." ”

Thinking about it, Bai Mei couldn't help but clamp her legs.

The child couldn't hide something in his heart, and knew that he was going to collect the net with Xu Fang today, so he got up early.

After Fanfan got dressed and cleaned up, Xu Fang said hello to Bai Mei: "Sister Mei, I'll go out with Fanfan and come back to cook." ”

"Okay, do you want to push the cart?" Bai Mei asked.

Xu Fang felt that it was really troublesome to carry a bucket back, and it would be more convenient to push the cart, so he smiled and said, "Sister Mei is still smart." ”

"you, what's so clever. Hearing Xu Fang's joke, Bai Mei pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Xu Fang pushed the cart and walked towards the river with Fanfan.

The village is not big, and the place where the net is laid is not too far from the village, and it will not be long before I come to the first place to put shrimp pots.

Under Fan Fan's expectant gaze, Xu Fang pulled the rope and pulled the shrimp pot up.

When the shrimp cage was dragged up, Rao is Xu Fang had already prepared, and his brows couldn't help jumping.

Xiushui Village has a lot of river water, clear and transparent, fresh air, is a place with abundant aquatic plants, and is also a paradise for fish and shrimp to breed. In addition, the people in Xiushui Village rarely catch fish and shrimp, which also makes the fish and shrimp here extraordinarily large.

Xu Fang had already guessed that he would catch a lot, but looking at the cage full of shrimp, Xu Fang still gasped.

In addition to the shrimp, there are several crabs, several loaches, grass carp, and other things inside.

Xu Fang visually inspected it, and the crayfish in this cage alone must be about four catties.

The harvest is still very good.

Xu Fang found several other cages, and in addition to shrimp, he even caught two large yellow eels.

After all, Fan Fan is a child, and he can't tell the difference between the yellow eel and the snake, and after seeing the yellow eel, he was so frightened that he screamed, and Xu Fang had to be comforted.

The harvest was very good, the two prawn pots were about four catties of crayfish, and the remaining five small shrimp pots were also about three catties.

This time the harvest is much more abundant than yesterday. And the shrimp pot just needs to be thrown in, and nothing else is done at all.

I didn't take out the contents of the shrimp pots, put all the shrimp pots on the board car, and pushed them all the way home.

Bai Mei had been waiting at home, and she was also curious about what Xu Fang could gain today.

When Xu Fang came back with the cart, Bai Mei saw the harvest in the shrimp pot, and a surprise flashed in her eyes: "So many!"

"Yes, it's still very rich, and I caught a yellow eel this time. I'll go to the town and find a place to sell the crayfish and come back to make eels for you to eat. ”

Yesterday, I had already learned Xu Fang's cooking skills, and when I heard that Xu Fang still had to cook, Bai Mei and Fan Fan's eyes lit up.

Xu Fang looked for the basin and bucket, and began to clean up the contents of the shrimp pot, and the crayfish were divided into two buckets by Xu Fang according to the size of the head.

The remaining fish, loaches and yellow eels were placed in a basin by Xu Fang. There are not many of these fish, and Xu Fang is ready to keep them for himself.

Yesterday's river mussels have almost been cleaned up, Xu Fang crumbled the mussel shells and washed the mussel meat inside. It's not suitable for things that are too greasy in the morning, you have to eat better, Xu Fang thought about it, went to the noodle jar to scoop noodles and noodles, rolled them flat with a rolling pin, and cut them into strips of noodles.

When the three bowls of river mussels hand-rolled noodle soup were brought out, the three of them quickly ate their meals.

After eating, Xu Fang asked Bai Mei to borrow a bicycle, and he used two fish scale bags to pack the lobster, and when Bai Mei came back with the bicycle, Xu Fang tied the bag to the back seat and rode towards the town.

Today, Xu Fang went out early, went out at eight o'clock, and arrived in the town at half past eight.

Xu Fang didn't have a sales outlet, so he simply followed yesterday's stupid method and found yesterday's Afu Hotel.

"Eldest sister, morning, do you still collect crayfish today?" As soon as he arrived at the door of this hotel, Xu Fang saw the proprietress sweeping the ground at the door.

I only bought Xu Fang's crayfish yesterday, and the proprietress naturally knows Xu Fang. However, judging from yesterday's sales, there are not many people who order crayfish, most of them are eaten by herself, and now there are three catties left in the tank.

However, looking at the tattered clothes worn by Xu Fang, the proprietress also felt a little more compassion in her heart, and said with a smile: "I don't buy much, I buy two catties for sixty, and I will keep it if I sell it." ”

Xu Fang didn't expect the other party to buy it all at once, and it was not too little, so he said with a smile: "Cheng, I need to sell you more in the future." ”

The proprietress has a scale at home, and Xu Fang is not stingy, and after two catties, she gave the proprietress two more, so that she who loves to take advantage of a small advantage, and her heart is more and more pleasing to Xu Fang.

After selling the crayfish, Xu Fang asked casually: "Boss, the crayfish taste good, why can't you sell it in the store?"

"You delivered it too late yesterday, and you don't know that there are many crayfish in the store. And the consumption level of the people in the town is like this, which is different from that in the city. This thing is really a place to eat, and it is more expensive than beef and mutton. And the average family rarely eats this, and they can't accept it for a while. ”

Hearing the explanation of the proprietress, Xu Fang vaguely understood in his heart. Crayfish, even if it is placed in the city, is a relatively petty bourgeois food for some white-collar workers, and the town really can't popularize it.

However, the city is relatively far away, and with the difficulty of riding this bicycle, Xu Fang feels that these crayfish have died before they have reached the city.

Like a French cannon, Xu Fang ran away from restaurant to restaurant. There are not many hotels in the town, and after running all these restaurants and hotels, these more than 20 catties of lobster have not been sold out!

Either the price is too low, or it is not charged at all.

For such a situation, Xu Fang was also very painful, but Xu Fang couldn't do anything if he couldn't negotiate business, and he finally sold ten catties and had three hundred yuan in his hand.

Seeing that it really couldn't be sold, Xu Fang didn't stay in the town for long, for fear that the lobster in the bag would die, Xu Fang rode his bicycle and went home.

It was only eleven o'clock when she got home, and seeing Xu Fang take the bag back, Bai Mei was also a little surprised: "Can't you sell today's crayfish?"

Xu Fang put the crayfish back into the basin and explained: "The crayfish delivered by the restaurant yesterday were not sold out, and there were almost no customers. I probably asked, it should be that the consumption level of people in the town is not very high, and people rarely eat crayfish, so they are not very interested in this dish, and I think it is not as affordable as ordering beef and mutton. Forget it, let's keep these and eat them. By the way, this is the money from selling shrimp. ”

Saying that, Xu Fang stuffed the three hundred yuan into Bai Mei's hand.

"What do I want your money for? Bai Mei stuffed the money back again.

"Keep it at home, and I'll take it when I use it. Xu Fang didn't answer.

Seeing that Xu Fang insisted on not wanting it, Bai Mei had no choice but to put the money in her pocket: "Okay, I'll put it in the table drawer of the hall, and take it when you use it." ”

"Hmm. ”

Seeing Xu Fang's lack of interest, Bai Mei's heart hurt a little, and she smiled with a roll of her eyes: "In fact, the development of the town is not bad, people's consumption level has increased in the past two years, how can anyone who can't afford to eat crayfish." However, the people in those restaurants are not delicious when making crayfish, and people don't order it anymore after eating it. If you take the raw ones and sell them, you might as well just do it and sell it on the street. ”

Bai Mei's unintentional remark made Xu Fang's eyes light up.

He knows very well how the crayfish tastes by himself, it is still very good, and the crayfish is also clean, I believe there can be some markets. And the reason why he is in a bad mood is not because he makes less money today, but because the situation in the town today obviously tells him that it is impossible to make a living by selling crayfish.

And Sister Mei's words gave him an idea to make money for a long time. Thinking about this clearly, Xu Fang jumped up, kissed Bai Mei's side face, and exclaimed excitedly: "Sister Mei, you are so smart!"

was suddenly kissed by Xu Fang, and Bai Mei felt a little confused. hurriedly turned his head to look, only to find that his daughter was not in the yard, so he was relieved. She was not angry at Xu Fang's reckless behavior, but as a woman's reserve, Bai Mei still pretended to blame: "What are you doing." ”

Xu Fang also realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and said embarrassedly: "I'm too happy to hold back, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Be careful next time. Bai Mei glanced at Xu Fang, as if she was afraid of hurting Xu Fang's self-esteem, and added: "Don't let Fan Fan see it." ”
