Early the next morning.

Brother Zhao and Ming Tsai of Taoyuan Village came back from the county seat.

One brought back four boxes of cotton rope and 10 electronic gram scales.

Peach Blossom Creek has gathered a bunch of villagers, and their emotions are high.

Some waited for instructions, while others went to help carry tools and materials.

"Xiaofan, have you negotiated the price with the Grand Hotel?"

This is a question that many people are concerned about.

Ye Xiaofan raised his hand, "Don't worry about this, it will naturally be announced internally after a while, and you can do the work at hand with peace of mind." ”

Regarding the price, he only revealed it to the old village chief and four or five cooperative cadres.

If the trouble is known to the whole village, and even the towns and villages know it, good things will turn bad.

"Okay."

No one dared to ask.

"Okay, now let's divide the labor and cooperate, Lao Li, you lead 20 people and be responsible for fishing for hairy crabs. Lao Zhao, you lead three people and are responsible for preparing buckets and containers......

"Brother Zhou, you lead 10 people, responsible for weighing, classifying, and recording data, pay attention, don't mess up!

"Then it is necessary to divide male and female crabs, mainly looking at their stomachs, the lower part of the belly is a circle, which is the female crab, and the triangle is the male crab.

"Second, look at the umbilicus, if the small lid is pointed, then it is a male crab, and the round is a female crab.

"The third look at the legs. Male crabs have villi on all eight legs.

“……”

Ye Xiaofan began to arrange work.

In the pond, there are not only hairy crabs, but also snail loaches.

It's a hassle to clean up.

Hairy crabs are full of vitality, they will get entangled in the net, and they will crawl around.

No. 50 was a commotion in the early days of the division of labor.

None of us had ever been exposed to farmed hairy crabs before.

Only Yu Ningwei is familiar with a few people.

Most of the villagers have a low level of education and are slightly less able to learn.

Ye Xiaofan must be supervised by the side.

"As for the others, they learn from me to tie up hairy crabs, pay attention to safety, these hairy crab pincers are very powerful.

"They all put on gloves and tied them with cotton ropes."

Ye Xiaofan teaches hand-in-hand.

There is also ingenuity, watch some teaching videos online, and you can quickly learn to tie hairy crabs.

With his current speed, he can handle a hairy crab in two or three seconds.

Of course, it may be worse than the professional masters of those hairy crab breeding bases.

It is said that some masters rely on tying hairy crabs, and their monthly salary can exceed 10,000 yuan.

In the open space in front of the wooden house.

Ye Xiaofan held a hairy crab and demonstrated the key points of bundling.

A group of young and old studied seriously.

When the hairy crabs were sent one after another, everyone really got started, and they all seemed to be in a hurry.

These hairy crabs are too strong.

Even if you wear gloves and are clamped, you will be pinched.

But when you get used to it, everyone can tie up four or five hairy crabs in an average minute.

Then there is the weighing, the length and weight of the cotton rope is the same, and it is easy to weigh their net weight.

Weighing, recording data, dividing male and female crabs, etc.

The work is more tedious.

Plus the strapping technique is not skilled enough.

In one morning, we only managed 3,000 hairy crabs.

There is also the bastard Fengya, who fell into the pond, and when he came up again, there were more than 30 hairy crabs hanging on his body, crying and screaming, asking Ye Xiaofan for help.

I was so by it.

At noon, Jiang He and Li Man came to deliver lunch to the villagers.

Hairy crabs below 9 taels, about 3,000, were sent to the Junle Hotel in Chujiang.

Peach Blossom Creek is busy working here.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, one of the Xu family's bodyguards arrived.

"I'm Xiao Li, and Ms. Zhao asked me to come and pick up something." The bodyguard is in a straight black suit, burly and cold.

"Well, I'm ready for that."

Ye Xiaofan is waiting for him to come over.

Three small basins, a small amount of water, soaked in about 30 hairy crabs.

The most valuable of them are a pair of king crabs, 1.1 pounds and 1.02 pounds, the size of two adult fists.

Plus some golden tiger crayfish, eggs, two old hens.

In addition to thinking about Xu Zhenglei's friendship, he likes Xu Yueling, a little girl.

Naturally, you can't worry about it and calculate the cost with others.

"Thank you, let's do this first, I'll take it back in a hurry, and Ms. Zhao asked me to take it back to the manor before dinner."

After some politeness, Xiao Li left with his things.

……

In the evening, Xiao Li hurried back to the manor non-stop.

Under the steward's debriefing.

"Dad, the hairy crab has arrived! Mom, let's go, let's take a look.

"The video posted by Brother Xiaofan, the hairy crab is so big! Bigger than my face! ”

Xu Yueling was so excited.

Pulling Xu Zhenglei and Zhao Yingfei couldn't wait to go out.

The couple couldn't laugh or cry.

"The Australian lobster didn't make the little girl so excited."

"Maybe it's bred by someone close to you, so it's a novelty, right?"

"Speaking of which, we don't seem to have eaten a pound of hairy crabs."

The couple discussed.

It's not that they can't buy it, it's just that they didn't pay attention to this before, and there are too many delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Hairy crabs are naturally nothing.

But now they are very much looking forward to the appearance and taste of the hairy crabs.

The butler and bodyguard were in front, and the servant in the back carefully held the basin.

"It's time to arrive! Pieces are put into the house. ”

As soon as Xu Yueling saw the things in their hands, she shouted happily.

The basin is placed on a low table.

A family of three watched and looked at the hairy crabs tied up in the basin.

"Wow, these two are so big."

"Xiaofan said that one is only 1.1 catties, and the female crab is 1.02 catties, which is really amazing."

"The appearance is really good, the golden claws, yellow hair, green back, white belly, carapace oil, bright body, majestic ......"

Xu Zhenglei was very surprised and full of praise.

They're so beautiful, they look like works of art.

Zhao Yingfei nodded, "Xiaofan is really amazing, the things he raised are all extraordinary, I can be regarded as convinced." ”

Xu Yueling got closer, looked at it for a long time, and pointed to the two largest hairy crabs, "Mom and Dad, can I raise them." ”

"Huh?"

"Are you sure?"

"I think they'll taste better when steamed."

The couple couldn't laugh or cry.

"No, I'm like raising them, just keep them in the Arowana tank, okay?" Xu Yueling said coquettishly.

"This ...... It may not be able to feed. ”

The couple looked at each other.

Naturally, I don't have to kill two hairy crabs for a bite.

"Well, keep it in the backyard pool first, and I'll ask the experts in this area later to see how to keep it in the fish tank." Xu Zhenglei groaned for two seconds.

"Okay, thank you Dad."

“……”

That's it.

It's just that when I eat at night, that plate of steamed hairy crabs is simply too fragrant.

The crab butter is moist and plump, the crab paste is rich, and the fragrance wafts all over the house.

"Wow, it's so delicious, it seems that the bigger it is, the more meat, the better it is, I don't know what the two biggest ones taste."

Xu Yueling's mouth was full of oil.

The couple nodded again and again and sighed, the taste of hairy crabs is amazing!

"I'll contact Xiaofan later, and buy a few more king crabs." Xu Zhenglei said.

"I just don't know what price he's selling."

"It doesn't matter, it won't make him suffer anyway." Xu Zhenglei said with a smile.

"Okay, buy more, I'll send a few friends." Zhao Yingfei said.

……

For the next two days, Peach Blossom Creek Pond was busy every day.

Most of these hairy crabs have to continue to be raised in the pond for half a month or even longer.

It mainly depends on Gao Liqin's sales and publicity ability, and cooperates with the hotel to send the freshest hairy crabs to her.

Ye Xiaofan didn't forget the Bai family's side, and deliberately selected some hairy crabs of medium and high quality, and sent them to the Bai family according to the address given by Bai Ling'er.

On the other side, the Tokai Art Association.

The conference room is extremely serious at this time.

The president, who has always ignored the affairs of the association, even wants to dismiss five core cadres.

Most of these people are actually only concurrently holding positions in the association, and their main position is either the leader of a state-owned enterprise or the executive of a certain unit.

For more than 10 years, there has not been such a resolute and resolute action to expel cadres as today.

More than 30 people gathered in the office.

Bang!

A bald middle-aged man with a beer belly and a dry outfit slammed the table and stood up.

Pointing to the old man in the plaid shirt on the main seat.

"Ma Qianqiu! Don't talk about bribery and public gain, how many people in this association are clean?

"Even when you auctioned that calligraphy and painting, you thought that people spent 10 million for that painting?

"Isn't it just to please your son? Talk to me about being honest, are you worthy! ”

Wu Qiang gritted his teeth.

These days, when he heard the rumors, he had already bowed his head to Ma Qianqiu and confessed, willing to retreat, and apologized to the owner of Four Seasons Gallery.

Unexpectedly, Ma Qianqiu insisted on collecting some evidence and detaining them on the grounds of power for personal gain and non-compliant economic dealings with others, and wanted to kick them out of the association.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Wu Qiang stood up at the table and expelled several people on the list, including Director Xu, who was in charge of the art exhibition.

They got up one after another, "I'm not convinced!" ”

"Yes, President Ma. Usually you don't care about anything, we work hard for the association. Just because of a little oolong, you didn't agree to the person you value to enter the association, and you want to take revenge like this? ”

"It's so cold that the hearts of the old employees of our association are so cold."

“……”

One by one, you and I said a word, or were not angry or cried miserably, hoping to win the sympathy of other members.

"President, everyone has known each other for ten years, and this punishment is really heavy. At least leave some affection, such as not announcing it to the public, and dealing with it according to their voluntary withdrawal? ”

Three or five people nodded one after another.

Ma Qianqiu's face did not change, he took the teacup, tasted it deeply, and looked intoxicated.

Recently, someone gave him a jar of exotic tea, which tasted wonderful.

When the conference room was quieter, he raised his head calmly, "Wu Qiang, my calligraphy and painting auction or something, if you think there is something greasy and what 'elegant bribery' is involved, then you can report it to the relevant departments."

"The same goes for a few of you.

"Don't feel wronged, in fact, I'm not smearing you out of thin air.

"It is a fact that you colluded with Yihuaxuan and received money from Wan Quanqing.

"There are also some violations of the law with the help of art exhibitions, association names and other activities, and I also have evidence.

"I didn't take it seriously before, but you didn't know how to restrain it.

"Even if there is no such thing as Ye Xiaofan, I will do this.

"Some people think it's unfair, you can leave the association with Wu Qiang and others, I don't force it."

Ma Qianqiu was calm.

"Anything else to say? If not, just dismiss. Xiao Lu, a penalty announcement will be made on the official website of our association at noon.

"Only sincerity is enough to win a talented painter to join us. From now on, you will understand my good intentions! ”

Ma Qianqiu got up slowly, completely ignoring Wu Qiang and them.

The crowd did not dare to say more.

A few old men who said good things stopped saying nothing when they saw this, and silently looked away.

"President Ma, I heard that Four Seasons Gallery has recently exhibited the works of Ye Xiaofan's little brother, including two drawings of the Double Pearl Pagoda that you are full of.

"I saw it in the circle of friends, and it was really extraordinary."

"Yes, I think we'll go to the Four Seasons Gallery in the afternoon, shall we? Pay your respects. ”

“……”

Everyone talked about it, and they hugged Ma Qianqiu out.

"President, I was wrong, please give me a chance."

"President ......"

Wu Qiang and other 5 people were directly ignored.

These few people, of course, have some social energy, but they are far inferior to Ma Qianqiu.

Now the trees are falling and scattered.

Without the position of the association, it is nothing, and the punishment announcement made to the outside world is fatal.

Wu Qiang's behavior was exposed, and they were kicked out by the association, how many peers will treat them as jokes.

A few of their reputations will definitely stink in the calligraphy and painting circle, and it will be difficult to wash away time and money!
