Early the next morning, Li Feng went to the aquatic market, but to his disappointment, there was no boss selling crayfish in the entire market.

In fact, it is not surprising that in the entire Yunshan City now, basically no one eats crayfish, so naturally no one will sell it.

And Xiongjia Lane, where Li Feng is located, is just a small village, and there are not many ponds and canals, if you just try it at home, you can find a few catties of crayfish, but if you want to meet the needs of opening a store, it is far from enough.

In desperation, Li Feng still decided to go to the countryside to buy crayfish by himself.

However, he was also confused about where there would be more crayfish and did not find a place.

Fortunately, at a critical time, Xiong Dajun gave him hope.

Xiong Dajun's grandmother's house is in another village, Liujia Village, about five kilometers away from Xiongjia Lane. The village is a water town, with rivers and ponds in almost every house.

Li Feng and Xiong Dajun rode bicycles and rushed over directly. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met an acquaintance, Xiong Dajun's uncle.

Xiong Dajun's uncle is named Liu Weiguo, in his forties, and like Xiong Dajun, he is also relatively burly. His face was a little dark, with wrinkles full of wind and frost, and it looked like it was the result of years of hard work.

At this time, he was carrying a load of grass and was rushing to the pond, and it seemed that he was going to feed the fish.

Xiong Dajun shouted excitedly, "Uncle." ”

As soon as Liu Weiguo saw Xiong Dajun, he also stopped happily and said, "Isn't this the army, why are you here? Don't say it in advance, I'll let your aunt make something to eat." Just right, let's go, go to the fish pond with my uncle, and my uncle will catch a big fish for you to eat today. ”

Xiong Dajun smiled and introduced Liu Weiguo: "Uncle, I came here this time because I have something, this is my good brother Li Feng, the one who lives next door to my house, you have seen it before." ”

Li Feng also shouted at the right time: "Hello uncle." ”

Liu Weiguo also greeted Li Feng very warmly when he saw him: "You are Li Feng, I always hear the army talk about you." What, what are you doing here today?"

Li Feng was not polite, and directly said his needs.

"Uncle, that's the case, we want to do some crayfish business, and we want a lot of money, I don't know if we can collect it in Liujia Village?"

"Crayfish!" Liu Weiguo frowned and said, "Yes, there is, but no one eats that thing, right?"

Li Feng said confidently: "This uncle doesn't have to worry, I still believe that this thing will be quite marketable." ”

Liu Weiguo asked, "How much do you want?"

Li Feng thought about it for a while, and then said: "At the beginning, the minimum guarantee starts at 500 catties per day, and if the market is good later, it may cost thousands of catties, or even more, I don't know if it can be supplied here in Liujia Village." ”

"It's a lot of money, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Now this little thing is everywhere, it is a little flooded, each family has fished out a few hundred catties in the pond, thousands of catties is not a big deal, before everyone was worried about what to do, you are willing to accept it is also a good thing. ”

Li Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, I'll go with you with Dajun to have a look?"

Liu Weiguo nodded in agreement and said, "Cheng, I just want to go to the fish pond, you can come with me." ”

The fish pond is not far from the entrance of the village, on the side of the road where Li Feng and the others came, and they walked less than 200 meters to arrive. It is a relatively large fish pond, at a glance, a piece of blue waves rippling, it is estimated that there are at least a dozen acres.

On the edge of the fish pond, a black tent was erected.

In fact, it's not just Liu Weiguo's fish pond like this, Li Feng took a look, almost every household has tents on the edge of the fish pond.

Li Feng also understands that fish farmers work hard, getting up early every day and serving the fish in the dark, not to mention, and have to worry about someone coming to steal the fish, and spend most of the year sleeping on the edge of the fish pond.

Liu Weiguo put down the burden with green grass, walked to the edge of the pond, pulled up the big fishing net that had been placed in the pond, and then said to Li Feng: "Li Feng, come and see, how is this crayfish in color, does it meet your requirements?"

The net is held up with slender bamboo poles, and can be about six or seven square meters.

Li Feng looked at it, in addition to a lot of fish in the fishing net, there were indeed a lot of crayfish, about 20 or so, although they were relatively small, but it was estimated that they could be a pound smaller.

A little comparison of the area of the fishing net and the fish pond, you can roughly estimate that just this one fish pond, saying that there are 1,000 catties of crayfish is less.

Immediately, Li Feng said directly: "Uncle, what do you think of this purchase price, one dollar and one catty?"

Liu Weiguo nodded and said, "I'll see it." This thing is usually disliked, and it is nothing more than a fishing trouble. If you are willing to pay a dollar to collect, it is equivalent to generating income for everyone. ”

"Nacheng, I have to trouble you to help you buy this matter, uncle. I will give you two pieces per catty, one of which is the money for shrimp, one dime is the trouble for your hard work, and one dime will have to trouble you to send the goods after you collect all of them, and you have to send them to the city. ”

When Liu Weiguo heard this, he was anxious on the spot, and hurriedly refused: "That's it, you are a buddy of the army, I should help a little, how can I ask for your money." ”

Li Feng said with a smile: "Uncle, the relationship is a relationship, but you still have to negotiate the price when doing business, if I only collect the crayfish once, it will be troublesome for you." But I'm going to buy it for a long time, can I still trouble you every day, delay you every day, even if you don't say it, you should be unhappy in your heart. ”

"That's right. Liu Weiguo nodded and said, "Cheng, then it's decided." ”

Li Feng and Liu Weiguo agreed to let him catch a crayfish of about 500 catties and put it away, and deliver it directly into the city in the evening. It just so happens that he has a three-wheeled motorcycle, which is also quite convenient.

After talking about things, the time was close to noon, and under Liu Weiguo's repeated invitations, Li Feng and Xiong Dajun still stayed at his house for lunch.

Perhaps because of Xiong Dajun's nephew, Liu Weiguo was particularly enthusiastic, and sure enough, he caught a big fish weighing five or six catties and made them a whole fish feast.

After lunch, Li Feng and Xiong Dajun hurried back to the city. In order for the crayfish business to start smoothly in the evening, they still have a lot of things to prepare.

As soon as the two entered the city, they went their separate ways.

Li Feng gave Xiong Dajun 300 yuan and sent him to buy various spices including ginger and garlic, as well as accessories such as lettuce, green peppers, and cucumbers.

In addition, the money for purchasing today's 500 catties of crayfish from Liu Weiguo's side will be deducted by 600.

With a start-up capital of 2,000 yuan, there are only 1,100 yuan left, but Li Feng still needs to get pots and pans, at least ten sets of tables and chairs, and a series of tools such as gas stoves.

No matter how you look at it, this amount of money is far from enough.
