Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi went out for a walk. Yucang County is close to the sea, the humidity is heavy, and there is a fishy smell in the wind. The scenery is completely different from Sha County.
Most of the villagers in Yucang County live by fishing. There are many people in this place, but the land is not so abundant. Most of the fishermen own relatively little land.
Lu Lin saw many boats parked by the lake.
Many fishermen don't have houses, and they live on boats, where they have wives and children. Because the living environment is relatively harsh, fishermen's children have a high probability of dying.
The wish of many fishermen is to settle down on the shore.
Lu Lin went to the seafood market and saw baskets of hairy crabs.
Lu Lin stood by the side of the road, looking at the lively crabs, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"The crabs here are actually two for a penny." It's so strange that crabs are sold cheaper than steamed buns.
"Maybe it's because there's not much meat, but the steamed stuffed bun is still full." Chen Xiaomi said. "This crab looks quite big, but it's all shells, so it's not useful."
Lu Lin: "..." What's the matter with no meat, this is what you eat!
In this previous life, no matter how many hairy crabs there were, they were not enough to sell. A crab costing ten yuan was already considered cheap.
Crabs packed in gift boxes, with a box of ten or so, can be sold for several hundred yuan, which is no problem.
I heard that lobsters and crabs are a disaster in foreign countries, and foreigners regard lobsters and crabs as enemies, but it is impossible in China.
"This crab is delicious, and it's so cheap." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi thought for a while, and said, "People in this place don't lack this kind of food!"
Lu Lin thinks about it too. It is said that there were a lot of crabs in the lake at his grandfather's time. If you catch any crabs, you can catch a lot of them. At that time, crabs were not as old as before, and everyone didn't take this thing seriously.
However, later, the crabs became popular, and all the crabs in this rural lake were killed by drugs. After that, the pollution became more and more serious, and basically nothing could be raised in this lake.
Later, when there were more wolves and less meat, the price of crabs became higher and higher.
"If you sell it somewhere farther away, you should be able to sell it at a higher price," Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said: "The road is not easy! "
Lu Lin thought to himself: Indeed! This fish! Shrimp! They are the easiest to die, there is a freezer in this past life! Ice packs, all kinds of fresh-keeping methods, plus the speedy transportation of the car, there is no problem in transportation to all parts of the country, but this place is not so? There are many means, and it is not easy to sell things elsewhere.
Lu Lin suddenly thought of a joke, and subconsciously laughed out.
Chen Xiaomi gave Lu Lin a puzzled look, and said, "Have you thought of anything?"
Lu Lin thought for a while and said, "I just thought of a joke. A master asked a student how valuable life is, and a student replied that live fish cost ten cents a catty, dead fish thirty cents a catty, and live shrimps thirty cents a catty." Dead shrimp costs ten cents a catty, live crabs cost sixty cents a catty, and dead crabs have to be thrown away, so life is precious and needs to be cherished.”
Lu Lin changed the joke he heard into the version of this era. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaomi looked blank, apparently failing to understand the essence of the joke.
"Live crabs are not worth that much money, how come they cost sixty cents a catty?" Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said.
Lu Lin: "..."
On the seafood market, there are people selling fish, and the price of fish is very cheap. You can buy a big fish for five or six pennies.
Lu Lin also saw barrels of sixties. Sixties are not worth much. Many fishermen sell them as extras. If they buy a fish, they will get a basket of sixties.
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi and said, "Let's buy a basket of hairy crabs and go home."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "As long as you like it."
Lu Lin bought a large basket of crabs, and saw a 30 cm long lobster. Unexpectedly, such a big lobster only cost three Wen each. Lu Lin bought ten of them at once. The store saw that Lu Lin was so generous. , and also gave Lu Lin a few crabs.
Lu Lin misses the taste of spicy fried flower armor very much, so he bought another basket of flower armor.
When Lu Lin saw squid, he bought squid again. When he saw seaweed, he waved his hand and bought it at the price of seafood in Yucang County. The cheap Lu Lin felt like a mouse fell into a rice bowl.
On the way back to the county office, Lu Lin was in a daze, resources! Yucang County is still rich in resources, but the resources here have not yet been developed.
Chen Xiaomi looked at the crate of crabs held by the servant, and said worriedly: "I bought so many crabs at once, I can't eat them, so I have to throw them away."
Lu Lin blinked, and thought to himself: Did you really buy too much
Yuan Bao and Chong Chong looked at the crabs crawling on the ground, and said, "Father, shall we eat this tonight?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes!"
Yuan Bao looked at the crab and said, "These two kinds of bugs look really weird!"
Lu Lin squinted his eyes and thought, "Bug, my son is really ignorant!" Such a big crab and crayfish are actually called bugs.
If it was in the previous life, you would have to buy so many things, and you would have to spend a few thousand dollars, but here it would only cost a few dozen pennies, the price of cabbage! The price of cabbage.
Lu Lin looked at the sixtieth girl on one side, frowned, and said, "Father, is there a pearl in this shell?"
"Pearl, probably not."
Yuan Bao was a little disappointed and said: "There are no pearls, so what are you buying them for?"
Lu Lin curled his lips and said: "There are no pearls here, but there is meat, you can eat it!"
Yuan Bao pried open a 60-year-old armor, and was immediately disappointed, "There is only so little meat, and the shell is so big."
Lu Lin: "..." What a ignorance! Don't you know that what is concentrated is the essence
Lu Lin waved his hand and said, "Go and play, you two, and come over for dinner later."
Yun Niang walked up to Lu Lin and said, "My lord, what should we do with this crab!"
Yunniang is also Lu Lin's chef, and Yunniang admires Lu Lin's various ways of cooking ingredients.
Although the ingredients Lu Lin bought back looked a bit strange, Yun Niang was still very confident.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Kill all the crabs first, make a crab rice cake, and then make a crab porridge."
Lu Lin thought to himself: The porridge in the seafood porridge shop in the previous life was very expensive. A pot of crab porridge only contained one big crab, but it cost more than 100 yuan. Thinking about it, it is really extravagant! At this time, crabs have become the price of cabbage, and you must eat hard to earn money.
Seeing Lu Lin's bright eyes, Yunniang said worriedly, "My lord, are you alright?"
Lu Lin waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." He just thought of a good thing and got a little emotional.
Lu Lin stir-fried crabs with rice cakes, and stir-fried sixties with spicy sauce. ... told Yun Niang the method, and Yun Niang left with the crab.
As night fell, Lu Lin's long-awaited meal was finally served.
"Father, this porridge is delicious!" Chong Chong hugged the small bowl while eating.
Lu Lin snorted softly, and said, "You know it's delicious." This ignorant brat previously said that he was too much and complained that he gave him worms. "It's delicious, be careful to eat the crab shells."
"Yeah," he replied vaguely.
The meat and crab porridge is very delicious. After eating it, I feel warm in my chest.
Stretching out his chopsticks, he ate with his sixties, and the over-achieved ones were filled with sauce, which was both delicious and chewy. After eating one, he wanted to eat another, and he couldn't stop his chopsticks.
Chen Xiaomi tasted every dish, fried rice cakes with crab, and the rice cakes had a delicious taste after the sauce.
Crabs are also delicious. Although there is not much meat, it has a special taste when chewing.
Yuan Bao's took a crab and gnawed on it forgetfully, his face was covered in sauce. "Dad, this is delicious!"
Lu Lin looked at the appearance of Yuan Bao, and said helplessly: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."
Yuan Bao blinked and said, "Understood."
After dinner, the two little ones seemed to have a great interest in seafood, and ran to the kitchen to see the uncooked seafood.
Lu Lin sat in the yard to digest food. Lu Lin hadn't eaten seafood for a long time, and accidentally ate too much.
Chen Xiaomi walked up to Lu Lin and said, "Do you want to open a shop again?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "I have this idea."
There are too many good things here, but obviously, the people in this place have not yet understood the various ways to eat seafood, and he is here to save this group of ignorant people. Development is full of confidence.
Lu Lin said with some regret: "Unfortunately, Mai Mai is not here, let's take a side dish, I haven't dealt with the matter at hand yet."
Chen Xiaomi took a look at Lu Lin and said, "You! You know how to let Xiaocai and Maimai do the work for you."
When Lu Lin first entered the door, he dispatched two small chickens and ducks. Later, he sent Xiaocai to organize the little ghosts to pick wild berry jam. After that, he sent Maimai to be the shopkeeper.
Lu Lin folded his arms, and said helplessly: "What can I do? I have a lot of secret recipes in my hand, and I just need to use my own people, so I can rest assured!"
Chen Xiaomi pursed her lips, and it was indeed the case. Many of Lu Lin's things were very precious, and it would be enough to benefit people a lot if they were taken out casually. Some things really cannot be handed over to outsiders.
Let's just say that this roasted whole lamb is just a kind of food, but this thing has won the favor of the Holy One! It has also been designated as a national dish. If he taught it to others, no one knows who will take the credit.
Although Xiaocai and Maimai were sent around by Lu Lin, the benefits were obvious.
Mai has already married in Kyoto, Chen Xiaomi spent 800 taels to buy two shops for Mai in Kyoto, renting out the shops should be enough for her expenses.
Xiaocai's net worth has also doubled several times in the past few years, and he is already a well-known big boss in Sha County.
Because Xiaocai has been so successful in business, many business people regard Xiaocai as their idol.
Lu Lin clapped his hands, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Xiaocai and Maimai can't be counted on for the time being. It seems that our son should be raised earlier. When Maimai is as big as Yuanbao, he can already do a lot of work. Since Yuanbao If he is not in the mood to read, he should learn to go to the store.
Chen Xiaomi: "You!" Back then, there was nothing I could do, it was different from now. However, it's good to have a skill. Although Yuan Bao is a little boy, Chen Xiaomi still hopes that his son can be alone.
"Yuanbao is already very good at arithmetic." However, he has no actual combat experience yet, so he is still a little small after all. It is okay to feed a chicken, but it is still too small to manage a store.
"Let's recruit more people in." Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's fine, you can buy two more servants."
"Where's Yuanbao?" Lu Lin asked Chen Xiaomi.
"He went out to play." This Yucang County is close to the sea, and there are many scenery that Yuanbao has never seen before. The family ate hairy crabs at home two days ago. This Yuanbao is very interested in local specialties, and he must have gone out to look for ingredients.
Lu Lin nodded. There are a lot of strange-looking seafood on the seashore. The fishermen here should be familiar with all kinds of seafood. However, it should be very strange to Yuan Bao who is new to the sea.
