Chapter 397: Eating Crabs

Cheng Yangyang went to the No. 3 pond, and before he got closer, he saw Wang Sanjo leading a group of men bending down in the pond to catch crabs.

"Uncle Tiao!"

Cheng Yangyang shouted Wang Sanjo, who was concentrating on crab fishing in the pond, just as their cage crab net was about to be collected, Wang Sanjo turned around and signaled her to wait, and he pulled back the cage crab before coming ashore.

After the crabs come ashore, they have to pick out the small crabs, especially those palm-sized crabs, this job looks very dangerous, and it is difficult to catch crabs, they have to catch thousands of crabs a day, it is really not easy.

"Uncle Tiao, how is it, are you still used to this job?" she leaned over and watched them pick up crabs into the small bamboo basket.

Speaking of this, Wang Sandao couldn't help but complain to her, "Ouch, Cheng girl, you don't know, this crab is so difficult to catch, we couldn't catch anything at the beginning!"

"No, this thing is still holding people, and we didn't dare touch them the first time we went into the water!" the other complained to her, and although they said so, their hands were obviously much more proficient.

"I'm really sorry, I've been too busy in the past two days to go into the water with you and teach you how to catch crabs," Cheng Yangyang said guiltily.

"It's okay!Cheng girl, you're busy with you, we can catch crabs now, you don't have to worry!" Wang Sanjo comforted her, "By the way, what are you looking for me?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I may have to stay at the factory in the next half a month, come and tell you, if there is anything urgent, you can do it yourself, if it doesn't work, you can find someone to call me!"

Cheng Yangyang originally wanted to see if there was anything she needed help or solve, but it seemed that the people in Wangjia Village had become accustomed to her way of doing things and rhythm, and they had begun to be able to take charge on their own.

"I know!" Wang Sanjo agreed, and began to go into the water again.

Cheng Yangyang saw that they were busy, and it was not easy to disturb them too much, when she went home, she went around to the village chief Wang's house again, asked for a few crabs, planned to take them back to taste, eat a good meal, and start working hard tomorrow.

"Sister, can this crab be sent to the capital for Brother Xiao An to eat?"

When the sisters were having dinner, Cheng Qingqing looked at the crab in his hand and suddenly raised his head and asked.

Cheng Yangyang used scissors to cut the hemp rope tied to the crab, ready to eat the crab, when she heard Cheng Qingqing's question, she suddenly paused.

It's been a long time since I've heard Li Yuanan's name from her mouth.

"The capital is too far away, the crabs will die in less than halfway, and they can't eat it", Cheng Yangyang lowered his head and continued to dig up the crab meat.

"Oh......" Cheng Qingqing didn't ask any more when she heard this, and the two of them ate silently.

......

Crabs are not only a rare delicacy for ordinary people, but also for wealthy families, because no one in Shimen Town has been able to successfully feed crabs so far.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that there were crabs going on the market in Cheng's Department Store, people in the city were like crazy, and they would line up at Cheng's Department Store early in the morning, and they would eat a thousand crabs a day!

The newspaper in Shimen tabloid that published the crab on the market, before the caravan went out of the city to other places, the crab was no longer enough to sell, not to mention that after the few towns next door knew about it, all the people who came came pounced.

In order to be able to taste the fresh, they have to stay for one night to buy crabs, and then get up early the next morning to queue up to buy them.

"Today's crabs are sold out, let's come back tomorrow!"

In the shop of Chengjia Department Store, the shelves selling crabs are empty again, but the front of the shelves is still surrounded by people on the third floor and the outer three floors, they are not too late, and even the shop came in as soon as it opened, but they still didn't grab it.

"Oh, no more!" someone began to complain, "I've been here for three days, and I still haven't grabbed it!"

On the third day of the crab market, some people grabbed it for three days, but they still couldn't grab others.

"Me too, I went back empty-handed for three days, and my husband was about to lose his temper!"

"Where's Steward Liu, ask Steward Liu, can you add goods!"

The fruits and grains in the shop can be added several times a day, but this crab is only served once a day, and there is no goods to add, and those who can't eat it want crabs to be added.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, crabs are special, they can't be added, they will be supplied once a day!" Liu Dong has been paying attention to the sales of crabs, and as soon as the guests have opinions, he stands up.

"Crabs are not easy to raise, and they are not easy to catch, we can only deliver the goods once a day, otherwise the crabs will die and not fresh, and I hope everyone will understand!"

"Can I make a reservation, like before, maybe I can still eat it!"

"This son, I'm really sorry, we don't make reservations in the store anymore......"

"It looks like you're going to eat crabs, but you're going to have to grab them," the group walked away disappointed and went to buy something else.

If there is something that is not grabbed, then there is something that can be grabbed, Liu Dong has limited the number of people who can only buy up to five per person, but there are always people who have a way to buy more, and then borrow crabs as favors and send them away.

Because of something happening, Gu Jiang has been away from Cheng Yangyang's house for almost two months, but he has never returned to the capital, he just stayed in his own villa in the south.

No, in order to curry favor with Gu Jiang, the magistrate of that place didn't know how much effort he had took, so he went to Chengjia Department Store to buy ten crabs and sent them to Gu Jiang's mansion.

"Childe, someone from the Yamen has sent this", Zhao Le brought the things sent by the magistrate to Gu Jiang, Gu Jiang didn't plan to pay attention to it, but Zhao Le's next sentence made him stop.

"I heard from the people in Yamen, this is a new crab from the Cheng Family Department Store in Shimen Town, son, can you try it?"

Their son-in-law, since he left the Cheng family, has not eaten well, he doesn't eat the dishes made by the people in the house, and he has walked through the taverns and restaurants outside, and he has never said that it is good, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight in two months.

"Cheng's Department Store?" Gu Jiang became interested when he heard this, "Miss Cheng's things?"

"Yes!"

"Open it and take a look!" Gu Jiang looked at the box in Zhao Le's hand expectantly, Zhao Le opened it and saw that there was a small bamboo cage inside, and the crabs were crawling up and down in the bamboo cage.

"Go call the kitchen and do it!"

He heard Cheng Yangyang say that she had crabs at home, and he had also seen them in the fish pond outside her house, but the crabs couldn't be eaten at that time, and he kept holding them!

He really wanted to go to her house for another meal, but reality didn't allow it, he was busy with this side of things, and he was about to rush back to the capital, and he didn't even have time to turn around and go to her house.
