Hu Changjun didn't expect that eating a crayfish would cost so much oil.

Vegetable oil costs 9 cents a pound.

He didn't dare to call the shots.

"I'll go back to the house and talk to Yongwa'er's mother."

Hu Changjun left in a huff, leaving Jiang Xiaobai and Lin Jiayin looking at each other and smiling bitterly.

What is this?

"You've had a hard day, and it's going to be late when you make the crayfish for him."

Lin Jiayin said distressedly.

Jiang Xiaobai was also helpless, shook his head and said: "I have said everything, he still wants me to help him, is there a way." ”

Lin Jiayin nodded, deeply convinced.

It's all the neighbors next door, and they don't look up and look down every day, and they refuse too hard, and they can't pull their faces.

However, what the two didn't expect was that Hu Changjun was just the beginning.

"Xiaobai, come back!"

"Xiaobai, I'm not busy now!"

"Xiaobai, do me a favor!"

“……”

Hu Changjun didn't leave for long, Hu Changbing, Jiang Haigui, Jiang Xiaoli and others seemed to have made an appointment, and they all came together.

Everyone carried a barrel in their hands.

With Hu Changjun's experience, the corners of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth couldn't help but twitch fiercely.

You don't have to think about it, you know what they're here for.

As the saying goes, even if you go to the door, you are a guest, Jiang Xiaobai is not good at driving people, so he has to say what he said to Hu Changjun and Jiang Haigui and others again.

He also said: "If you kill shrimp, you have to do it." ”

Coupled with Hu Changjun's shrimp, the seven families have a hundred catties together, and he is not willing to do it himself.

Jiang Haigui and others have no opinion on this.

People help to get it, and they also paste big ingredients and seasonings upside down, so that they don't even have to kill shrimp.

They were as entangled as Hu Changjun, thinking in their hearts whether to make a pot of crayfish with catties of oil would be worth it.

At this time, Hu Changjun came back, carrying a dirty oil pot in his hand.

"Xiaobai, there is not much oil at home."

"Do you think I'll do less?"

Hu Changjun said curtly.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the oil pot, and saw that the oil in it was almost bottoming out, at most two taels of oil.

said: "You can make some oil, at most you can make a pound of shrimp." ”

Hu Changjun said embarrassedly: "You make two or three catties, let's put less oil." ”

Put less oil, is it still called braised prawns?

Jiang Xiaobai was a little speechless.

But he also knows that the people in the bay are living too hard, which is similar to the life of "holding a nest head in your hand, without a drop of oil in the dish" sung in the songs of later generations.

Moreover, seeing that Hu Changjun brought all the oil pots, it is estimated that this is the only little oil left in their family.

I made braised prawns in oil tonight, and if I don't go to the market tomorrow, I won't even have to eat oil.

"Okay, I'll try!"

Jiang Xiaobai reluctantly agreed, thinking in his heart, it's a big deal to use the little oil left at home.

Jiang Haigui heard this, and hurriedly said: "Xiaobai, I'll do less, I'll go back to the house and get oil." ”

Everyone else chimed in, saying to do less.

Jiang Xiaobai was so happy.

In the end, this family brought a little oil, that family brought a little oil, and the seven families brought less than 2 catties of oil.

Jiang Xiaobai made two pots of stewed prawns, about more than 20 catties.

Jiang Haigui, Hu Changjun and other seven people divided the crayfish and left happily.

It is estimated that the babies of each of their families will not make trouble tonight.

After this was done, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and Jiang Xiaobai washed and slept.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't wait for him in the dam, and the crayfish he caught were packed in large buckets and placed directly on the Mao Road.

In this way, Jiang Xiaobai can save some trouble.

Jiang Xiaoyun got up early in the morning, walked to Qingshan Town with a basket on his back, and when he arrived at Maoma Road, he saw Jiang Xiaofeng guarding a few large buckets, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiaofeng, what are you doing?" ”

Jiang Xiaofeng said: "My second brother wants crayfish, and I'll wait for him to drag it." ”

"Crayfish?"

Jiang Xiaoyun walked to the barrel and looked at it, and said, "It's these big insects?" ”

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.

Jiang Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Some crayfish, your second brother will also drag them to the city to sell?" Isn't it worth the money? ”

Jiang Xiaofeng and Jiang Xiaoyun are also cousins, but they are far apart, not very close, so they didn't hide it from him, and said: "He is now testing the market, and he will collect it in the bay in a few days, 3 cents a catty." ”

Hiss......

Jiang Xiaoyun gasped.

"3 cents a pound?"

"Brother Xiaofeng, don't be joking."

There are a lot of paddy fields in Jiangwan, there are many mud depressions, and there are crayfish everywhere, and he has caught some in his paddy fields in the past two days, either killing them and throwing them away, or taking them back to feed the pigs.

Who would have thought that this scourge of seedlings could be sold for 3 cents a catty.

In the next few days, the seedlings will be planted, and before the seedlings are planted, they should catch crayfish in the paddy field once, so as not to harm the seedlings.

Doesn't it mean that catching crayfish not only does not delay work, but also earns a sum of money.

Jiang Xiaofeng said with a smile: "It's serious, I'll notify you when I receive it." ”

Jiang Xiaoyun was overjoyed, and he was not even in a hurry to catch up, and chatted with Jiang Xiaofeng.

Qingshan Town is a double number meeting, and the single number is closed, that is, it only rushes once the next day, and there are many people in the bay who rush to the game early.

Not long after, Yang Shiyun, Hu Changjun, Tian Jiaying and others also came.

The others are okay, Hu Changjun asked Jiang Xiaobai to make a pot of stewed prawns last night.

Although most of them were eaten by his son Hu Yong, he also tasted a few.

The taste of braised prawns, he still drools when he thinks about it now.

"Xiaofeng, you said that Xiaobai will harvest crayfish in a few days?"

Hu Changjun asked excitedly: "Is that if we can catch it and sell it to him?" ”

Before Jiang Xiaofeng could speak, Jiang Xiaoyun hurriedly said: "Brother Xiaofeng said, 3 cents a catty, notify me when you collect it." ”

Hearing the price of 3 cents a catty, Hu Changjun, Yang Shiyun and others were excited.

Some time ago, Liu Shiguo collected small potatoes for 4 cents and 5 pounds, and several of them sold them, and the more got more than 200 yuan, and the less got 80 or 90 yuan.

That's more money than they've earned in previous years.

It's like getting rich overnight.

But it's a pity that the small artichoke is not sold for a while, and it is just a one-time sale.

But catching crayfish is different, which has several months to catch from May to October.

An adult, no matter how boring, can catch dozens of catties a day.

That is, it can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan a day.

In a few months, you can earn two or three thousand yuan.

It's exciting to think about.

"Xiaofeng, you must inform me when the time comes."

"Xiaofeng, don't forget me."

"Xiaofeng, the two of us grew up playing with mud together, you must inform me first."

“……”

Hu Changjun and Yang Shiyun rushed to tell Jiang Xiaofeng, but they had to drag him home to guard.

"Okay, well, I'll tell you when the time comes."

Jiang Xiaofeng agreed to come down one by one.
