Back To 2005

You know, when he came here to buy lobsters in his previous life, as soon as he entered the demarcation point of the aquatic area, there were rows of them, which showed the charm and huge profits of crayfish.

Now, I want to find a merchant selling crayfish, but it has disappeared.

After shopping around, Zhou Anan finally saw a pot of lively crayfish in a corner booth.

Looks good and looks good.

"Boss, how do you sell this crayfish?"

"Four dollars and five pounds."

The bald boss, who was processing fish scales for another client, didn't look up and replied casually.

Anyway, no one buys it, whether you want it or not.

"How many?"

Hearing the price, Zhou Anan asked in astonishment.

"Boss, your fish. This little boss, all the crayfish I have here have been picked. Look at this head. It is so clean. It must have been raised in my own pond. The water in my pond is full of fish. The water in the Shanghuang Reservoir does not come out of any sewage ditch. If I tell a lie, I will pay ten for the lie.”

Passing the repaired fish to the waiting customer, the middle-aged bald boss who thought the other party was too expensive directly took out a crayfish and showed it in detail in front of Zhou An'an.

It's not easy to sell some crayfish these days. If his mother-in-law didn't insist on keeping them and selling them at a high price, Xu Feng would have wanted to crush these unsalable crayfish and feed them to pigs.

It was all caused by those rumors, saying that the crayfish were raised in sludge and heavy metal sewage, and the larger the crayfish, the more heavy metals they ate, which made it impossible to sell the thousands of catties of lobsters raised in his family.

Don't look at the rise in Hangzhou, but in Lizhou, a small county, no one eats lobster at all. Some customers even questioned him sternly, and the original business ran away.

Those who drink soup can't afford to be hurt.

"can it be cheaper?"

Shocked by the current cheap price of crayfish, Zhou Anan asked weakly.

Compared with the price of more than 20 yuan a catty in the previous life, 4.5 yuan is already very cheap, but the price after more than ten years has also increased several times compared to now.

Seeing that the other party is selling so hard, it seems that the price is still negotiable.

There is no way, it is a little bit to save a little.

"Four yuan, if you want more than five catties, I will give you four yuan per catty."

Feeling that the little kid in front of him couldn't buy much, Xu Feng directly dropped fifty cents a catty.

This is the second customer who came to buy crayfish today. If it can't be sold, it is estimated that the rest will have to be put back in the pond.

If it weren't for the force of the woman at home who graduated from university in Hangzhou, he would have wanted to sell it for a dollar a catty. The crayfish in the markets in the countryside are only seven or eight cents a catty, even if their lobster seedlings are good. , can't sell at such a high price.

He swore that after this batch was sold, he would never raise crayfish again.

It's just that the daughter-in-law wants to eat, and the big deal is to raise less at home, and it is impossible to sell it.

"If I buy them all, can it be cheaper?"

Feeling very comfortable with the boss's straightforwardness, Zhou Anan pointed to the crayfish crawling around in the basin and asked.

Damn it, you lowered the price so casually, have you considered the crayfish's feelings? Crayfish also have dignity.

That being the case, he cannot be blamed for continuing to haggle.

For the dignity of crayfish

"All of it? Okay, okay, I'll give you three yuan and eight, no, three yuan and a catty."

After hearing what the little kid said, Xu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and lowered the price again.

The lobsters in the basin are still more than forty catties at least. If they can be sold, it will definitely be the first time ever, and the mother-in-law at home will be happy to hear that.

The first big customer.

"."

Originally, he wanted to say the price of three yuan a catty, but seeing the other party's sincere smile, Zhou Anan's conscience hurt a little, and he couldn't say it.

In the end, he was still a little embarrassed.

"I want it all."

Without haggling any more, Zhou An'an, who had made up his mind, estimated the price and nodded in agreement.

Even if you can't sell it, you can burn it and eat it yourself, just to satisfy your gluttony.

Such cheap crayfish, don't eat for nothing.

As for whether you can eat it or not, hehe, people who like to eat crayfish will tell you what a real foodie is.

"Well, I'll weigh you right away."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Xu Feng, who was afraid that the other party would regret it, quickly put the crayfish into two large black bags, put them on the scale and weighed them.

"A total of forty-six catties and seven taels, counting your forty-five catties, a total of 157.5 yuan."

After weighing, Xu Feng showed the calculator with the calculated price in front of the other party's eyes.

"it is good."

Looking at the other party's calculator, Zhou An'an had no doubts, and directly took out two hundred-yuan bills.

This is the last funds, a little heartache.

But looking at those crayfish, Zhou Anan decided to turn his grief into appetite.

"I'm looking for you for 42.5 yuan."

After counting the change to the other party, Xu Feng poured the crayfish back into the basin, ready to repair them all.

"Boss, wait, don't fix it yet. Well, I opened a barbecue shop opposite the Shangshang Supermarket. Can you lend me the pot first? I'll return it to you tomorrow."

Thinking that the weather is so hot and there is no freezer to store it, and he doesn't know how many crayfish can be sold tonight, Zhou An'an dare not repair them all.

He also wanted to let the crayfish live for a longer period of time, after all, only fresh ones are delicious.

Repairing in front of customers can also prove the freshness of the ingredients at their barbecue stand.

Zhou Anan believes that as long as someone eats the first time, there will be a second time.

"Row."

Unexpectedly, the other party still opened a barbecue stall, so Xu Feng agreed without thinking too much.

The crayfish worth more than 100 yuan were all sold, and there was only one pot left, which could be given away for nothing.

"Xiao Anzi, what is this?"

Wang Rong, who was cleaning the table, looked curiously at a large basin on the ground, covered with a grid, and there was a rustling sound, which made one's scalp tingle.

"Crayfish, we'll have this for dinner later."

After patting the grid, Zhou Anan said with great interest.

At this time, a tenacious crayfish grabbed the edge of the basin and protruded half of its body from the gap between the basin and the grid.

Zhou Anan, who noticed, hit it with the leather case in his hand, and let it return to the big home.

The crayfish lying on its back in the basin raised its two big pincers angrily, as if complaining about the injustice of fate, and felt sad that all the hard work it had done to climb up was wasted.

"I'll eat you first."

Seeing that the crayfish was so active, Zhou Anan threatened.

"Is this delicious?"

Wang Rong, who had never eaten crayfish before, was full of doubts, and he didn't seem to see any signs of deliciousness.

Such a hard shell and such an ugly appearance, can it be eaten? Will I have diarrhea if I eat it?

"I guarantee that you will want to eat after eating, you won't be able to stop at all."

"really."

"Wait."

Glancing at the frantic crayfish, Zhou Anan touched a handful of change in his trouser pocket, turned around and walked towards the small commodity store not far away.
