Chapter 38 Rural Children Become Home Early
Tan Shaoyang put the money in his pocket and made no secret of his excitement. He pedaled his bicycle and hummed a tuneless song, and happily went to the restaurant.
The boss had been busy all morning. He wiped off his sweat and went up to him. He took the swimming crab in his hand and weighed it, and said with emotion, "Why are there so few today?"
"I was still thinking that you would get me a 180-pound one that would last the past two or three days!"
Tan Shaoyang spread his hands and said in a helpless tone, "It depends on luck to catch the sea. You can't pick it up every time. There are sometimes more and sometimes less goods, which is normal. ”
"I wish I could have more! If I sell more, I can make more money. Who would think that the money is too much?" Swimming crabs can make money, but they are taken away when they see them. If the number decreases, the harvest will be less.
Of course, the main reason is that people are digging for sandworms, and people's time is limited. If you are focused on digging for sandworms, you won't have time to rush to the sea.
There are many sandworms during this period, and the number of digs will be larger. It is more profitable than rushing to the sea. People have a feeling in their hearts that there is more money to be made, so they rush there.
There are fewer swimming crabs, so you have to spend a lot of time searching for them. You may not make more money than digging for sandworms, so naturally you won’t be able to collect the goods.
The boss sighed, handed him a cigarette, and asked, "Are there no cuttlefish at all? Try to find some cuttlefish for me. These things are selling well."
"I followed the dishes you cooked that day and smelled the wafting smell. There was basically a plate on the table. It hasn't been there for the past two days, and the customers kept asking!"
"Put the customers away!" My addiction has been hooked, and this dish is not available. Don’t tell me, I’m still being criticized!”
It doesn’t matter if there are less swimming crabs. In the sultry weather, this delicious and charred food should be eaten every three to five times. One meal is enough, no one can bear to eat it every day.
It is easy to get angry due to heat.
But the stir-fried cuttlefish with bamboo shoots is different!
In this sultry weather, a refreshing dish is simply an appetizer! Both cuttlefish and bamboo shoots are highly praised.
Coupled with the color produced by frying with chili and soy sauce, no matter who looks at it, no one can resist it. Some people who work directly buy it home and use it as food and drinks, but this has captured a group of people who have this hobby.
Tan Shaoyang took the cigarette and put it behind his ear, and then replied, "Brother, please be considerate, there are not many good things like this."
"Squid cubs are not easy to get. Loading more or less crab pots depends on luck, and it’s weightless, so the villagers are not willing to bother with it.”
“The boats at this time were controlled by humans, and the weight they could carry was limited, and people who went to sea were limited. I’m not happy to pretend to be this thing. For the same amount of money, others can earn more by pretending to be fish.”
"This is the reason why the quantity of cuttlefish is not increasing."
"I will go back and install a few crab pots for you. Whether I can install them depends on my luck."
Tan Shaoyang gave After making his promise, he unloaded the goods and was about to leave, but was dragged into the store by the boss.
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Come and have something with me. You can't dislike the freshly fried fish larvae and stewed soybeans!"
Tan Shaoyang didn't refuse either. , and then sat down, "Then I won't refuse, let me spend the money."
The boss waved his hands indifferently, "Don't be polite, these two dishes you gave me brought a lot of customers!"
After breakfast, Tan Shaoyang sold him another one. Clams, whether eaten with steamed eggs or stir-fried with chopped green onions, are a delicious dish.
I’m tired of these things at the beach.
But his place is more than two hours drive from the seaside, so having a dish like this can also change the taste.
The boss patted his thigh, looked at him and said in surprise, "Brother, if you have the goods, bring it to me! Maybe we can attract more customers!"
"As long as I can make a profit from the seafood and stir-fry it with a delicious taste, I will buy it from you."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that since I bought seafood from you, my business has been much better. The stall next door I can only watch helplessly, you can't buy me to him!" Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "Look what I said, if you can help me, I can't forget my roots. We work well together, how could I betray you? What?”
“I’ll bring you some next time. Dried clams cost 4 cents per pound. Soak them in water and cook them. They taste delicious!” You can make a lot of custard with a pound of dried clams, and it’s profitable to keep them.”
The boss doesn't care, as long as the business is booming, the investment is worth it.
"Then it's settled. If my business can make a lot of money, you can definitely make money too."
Only then did Tan Shaoyang know the meaning of his breakfast. This was because he was afraid that he would be taken over by the neighbor next door. The boss gave me a bribe!
He said that the boss usually had a carefree personality and did not have such delicate thoughts, but now he actually knew how to bribe him. It turned out to be the reason!
No, he was quite cheerful. He didn't hide it, he just said it straight to the point. If he concealed the truth, he was not sure what he would do!
To tell the truth, he is indeed more interested in Tan Shaoyang.
Tan Shaoyang went back after eating, and asked the two brothers to install the cuttlefish. This unique business can be quite profitable if one can master the skills.
The main reason is that the cuttlefish are too small and don’t weigh enough. People in the village feel that they are not making money.
In fact, if you install it in large quantities, you can still make money.
The brothers did not refuse. If there was a way to make money, they would try it. They would install the cage first, and then go dig for sandworms. They could make money with both hands.
After Tan Shaoyang finished his instructions, he went home. He bought rice noodles specially and planned to go back and cook a pot of fish meal.
I have a lot of fresh fish at home, clean it and stew it with tomatoes in a pot of fish soup, add rice noodles, it tastes very fresh!
Eating seafood porridge every day, no matter how delicious it is, I will get tired of it and I still need to change the taste.
It was okay if I didn’t have the conditions before, but now if I have the conditions, I have to eat what I have to eat.
Isn’t making money just for eating?
After finally living a leisurely life, you must not treat your taste buds badly!
Eviscerate the fish, marinate and set aside.
Stew the soup with minced garlic, peppers and tomatoes. After the soup is boiled, add the fish stew, add soft and tender rice noodles, and sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onion when it comes out of the pot. It is very enjoyable.
The adults took the sea bowl and drank all the fish and soup.
Children are not willing to give in too much. Even if it is spicy, their mouths are red and spicy, and they keep inhaling and are unwilling to put down their chopsticks.
"Uncle Third, this rice noodle is so delicious. You can buy more in the future."
Tan Shaoyang said with a smile, "Then let Uncle Third continue to make money, and I will buy you delicious food when you make money."
"Next time Uncle San makes money, he will bring you cold noodles, a big bowl of fried clams as side dishes, and a spoonful of sour and delicious tomato soup, and keep it for you to remember after the first meal. "
" Go out to sea and dig more clams in the future. If you want my third uncle to buy delicious food, you have to pay for your labor. "
Rural children have long been the masters, and children from all families are the same. Diligent and a skillful sailor.
"Uncle Third, I will dig up a bucket of clams and come back to dry them next time."
"I want to help too."
"I will go too."
