Chapter 487 Following You Will Get You No Good
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is for all of you to eat. It's not all for your brothers and sisters."
Li paid them their wages, 200 coins each, two strings of money, and each person put two strings in his hand. Although he knew that they would give the money to Wu Jiang later, he still let them have a taste of it, after all, this was money they earned themselves.
The boys cleaned the yard and left happily with their wages and the meat. With so much meat, they could eat for a long time. The leftover meat could be smoked, and they could cut off a piece when they wanted to eat it, and each of them could have a piece at mealtime, which would last them for quite a while. The boss was so nice that he was willing to give them so much meat!
After seeing the guests off, the family continued to look at the huge crab.
Zhou Su said: "I don't know what's inside?"
Zhou Mi looked at the crab and poked it with a small stick. "Although it's big, there may not be much meat inside. It's so hard and all shell. Hmm, it's better to give it a few more pounds of meat."
Zhou Xing asked: "How do you eat this?"
Yes, everyone was worried. How could they eat such a hard shell? They didn’t know how to eat it. The crabs they picked up from the ravines were chopped up and fed to chickens, or they were cooked and eaten by themselves. The taste was very bad.
Zhou Guo said, "Put it in a pot and steam it. It will be delicious when it is cooked. Let's eat it after Master and Big Brother come back. Keep it in the jar for the next few days."
Everyone had no objection. Since they got something good, of course they wanted to eat it together as a family.
There are thirty-two crabs in two baskets.
She looked at the crabs crawling around in the tank, licked her lips, and made a silent wish, hoping that the master would move faster so that the crabs would not die and could not be eaten.
Zhou Su looked at her and couldn't help licking his lips. He asked curiously, "Sister, is this crab delicious?"
Zhou Guo nodded subconsciously, "It's delicious, especially the full yellow. Take a sip... the taste is simply amazing. There is also meat, which is fresh, sweet and chewy. It tastes just as good as the shadowless fish!"
"Gulp~~" Zhou Su swallowed hard because of what she said, and looked at the crabs in the tank and said, "They are so delicious. God bless you, sir, to come back soon. God bless these crabs so that they won't die. If they die, they won't taste good..."
The two of them were muttering to themselves as if no one was around.
The Li family members found it very funny.
The others were just watching curiously and had no interest in the crabs. They had already decided in their minds that they must not be delicious, as they probably had a fishy smell. Meat was better. There was so much beef, probably more than 20 kilograms, that even if it was fresh, it could be eaten for three or four days. There was also mutton.
There is also lotus root, which is very rare. I haven’t seen any lotus root for sale here. It is best eaten when stewed with meat.
Li took Zhou Xing, Zhou Mai and others to take out the dishes one by one and put them into the kitchen. Fortunately, the weather was cool now, otherwise they would not be able to be kept for a while.
Most of the money brought back this time was copper coins, which were packed in baskets and placed in Zhou Guo and Zhou Xing's houses. These were all from the villagers, and they would be distributed to them when the old man came back, and absolutely no one was allowed to touch them.
The old man and his party did not arrive home until noon on the third day.
Zhou Guo waited and waited. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would walk around the tank, or go to the river to catch some small fish and throw them into the tank. He also fed the tank with snails, vegetables and everything else except food. While feeding, he thought about the owner of Baoyue Tower.
The man who thought of raising crabs here must be a foodie. I'm afraid he initially just wanted to raise some for food, but as he was raising them, he found that he had too many, so he had to sell them. As soon as he left, no one ate the crabs here when he came back, so he raised more and more crabs, and Baoyue Tower no longer lacked crabs.
Should she raise some too? Next year, she should ask Manager Yang for some crab seedlings and put them in the rice fields. It would definitely not be enough to sell them, but she has enough for her family to eat. She can have as much as she wants. It would be great if she had a fish pond where she could grow lotus roots. Well, I don't know if they can survive here. If she raises some fish and a few edible turtles, she will have no shortage of food.
I just don't know if Shopkeeper Yang is willing to do so. How about she exchange it with the Shadowless Fish?
When I had nothing to do, I wandered around the house, but I couldn't find a suitable place to dig a pond. It was either a rocky place or a ridge on the hill. It seemed that I had to give up.
The old man finally came back. He had just got out of the car and hadn't had time to drink a sip of water when Zhou Guo dragged him to the water tank without saying a word.
The old man was helpless. "If you have something to show me, you should wait until I drink a sip of water before showing it to me. You don't know that this journey is not smooth. Is it going well for you... Gulp..."
All the words he said were automatically swallowed back after he saw the crabs in the tank, followed by the sound of swallowing saliva.
Zhou Guo looked at him with satisfaction as his eyes widened slightly and stared intently, and said, "Master must have eaten it before, and must know such a good thing."
The old man asked after a long while: "Where did it come from?"
There are crabs in the North?!
Zhou Guo smiled and briefly recounted what she had encountered, "These were sent to me by Shopkeeper Yang. It is said that they have set up a crab farm not far away, and these crabs were transported from there."
The old man nodded absentmindedly and waved his hand, saying, "Get it done, get it done, wash it and put it in the pot tonight. Oh, this trip was not easy for me, but you had it smooth. Why can't I get anything good after following you?"
Zhou Guo asked quickly: "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
The old man slapped his thigh and said, "We were almost robbed again. We were almost robbed of our money when we came back. From the way they spoke, it seems that they had caught our eye last time. They didn't expect that we had more goods this time. They said they would not let us go. How could this be possible? How come I get robbed wherever I go, but no one cares about you wherever you go? Your luck is really weird."
Zhou Guo looked him up and down, then looked at Hu Zi and his group, who seemed to have no injuries. "How many people are there on the other side? Did you not suffer any loss?"
The old man said, "It was a loss. There were only seven or eight men on the other side. They stood in front of us with sticks and axes, and threatened us to leave our money and things. They shouted loudly, but they were too weak to withstand a punch. One of them flew ten feet away with one punch. The rest of them quickly dragged people away. A bunch of cowards dared to come out to rob money. They must be tired of living."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "No ordinary person can get an advantage from you. You have worked hard, old man. Please wait, I will get the crabs out and serve them to you tonight."
Hu Zi and his group helped to gather the things and returned the carriage. Seeing Wu Jiang and his men returning, they couldn't wait to go back too.
