After a busy day, Li Xuebin stretched his waist. It was already dark. He stood up from the chair and felt a little sore in his back.
"Let's go, crayfish and cold beer." Zhou Minghai also finished his work, came over and knocked on the door, saying.
"Let's go." Li Xuebin stretched his waist again and said with a smile.
On a hot summer night after working overtime, there is nothing more comfortable than drinking a glass of cold beer.
The two went to the parking lot, got into the same car, and headed to the late-night snack bar where they often had dinner.
This late night snack shop is not far from their home, so you can walk back after having late night snacks.
"Boss, are the crayfish fresh today?" Li Xuebin asked.
"It's fresh, delivered in the afternoon," the late-night snack shop owner said with a smile.
"Have two."
"Today's crayfish is a bit more expensive, 35 yuan per serving (about 1 jin)."
"The price of crayfish has increased?" Zhou Xueming said with a smile. The crayfish here was still 26 yuan yesterday.
"Today's crayfish is of good quality, you can chew the shrimp heads." The owner of the night snack shop said with a smile. He is very familiar with Li Xuebin and Zhou Minghai. The two of them often come here for late night snacks and have been regular customers for many years.
"Okay, give us two kilograms. In addition, a plate of snails... six skewers of pork ribs, six skewers of pork belly, a plate of roasted eggplants, and a plate of leeks. If these are not enough, we will order more." Li Xuebin said.
"Another plate of edamame." Zhou Minghai said, "Two barrels of draft beer."
“Very good.”
Crayfish, snails, and edamame are already prepared, just put them on a plate and bring them out.
The food was served, and so was the wine.
"Can this crayfish be cooked?" Li Xuebin asked.
"These are crayfish raised in large reservoirs. You can eat them directly." The owner of the late night snack shop personally served them crayfish, took one, gently opened the shrimp head, and took a bite: "This batch
The crayfish is good and clean. The meat quality is also good and very fresh..."
Zhou Minghai put on his gloves, twisted the head of the shrimp and took a bite.
They eat crayfish, but rarely eat shrimp heads. Sometimes there is some yellow and paste in the shrimp body, and they have to be specially removed. But the boss told them that these crayfish can eat shrimp brains, so they tasted it.
Hey, let’s not talk about it...the taste of this shrimp brain is particularly fresh.
The supper shop owner was busy greeting other customers.
Li Xuebin also put on plastic gloves and tasted the shrimp heads. They tasted really good, but...a bit spicy.
I chewed a small shrimp head and drank a sip of beer.
"Speaking of crayfish cultured in the reservoir, I think of the crayfish from Ye Mo." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "It seems that the crayfish we breed in the reservoir is just Ye Mo, right?"
Zhou Minghai shrugged: "I don't know if other reservoirs specialize in crayfish farming."
There are not many crayfish farmers around Huacheng, let alone crayfish farms in reservoirs...
"These crayfish can't be from Ye Mo's place, right?" Li Xuebin laughed: "When I go there another day, I can put some back and make them myself."
Zhou Minghai nodded: "By the way, how many thorn bubbles did you pack today?"
"More than three hundred kilograms." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "More than three hundred kilograms, the supply exceeds the demand."
"Those thorny bubbles are really... a big headache. The watermelons over there are about to mature. When will they be picked?"
"You will let me know when you are mature."
"If those watermelons look like first- or second-grade ones, they cost 1.58 yuan, which is not expensive. Don't let Gao Yuan pass by first," Zhou Minghai said.
"We still have to wait and see when they are ripe. If the quality is good enough, we should add a little more." Li Xuebin said. At this point in time, watermelons are indeed cheap. In their market, the price of watermelons is very high.
Jin. But the visual index of those watermelons is basically level three, which means that the skin of the watermelon has a yin and yang side (white skin that has not been exposed to the sun).
The price of watermelons that can be used as gift melons or can be sold in large supermarkets is still very strong. Over at the square, Kirin melons with better fruit shape cost more than three yuan per catty.
Just add a little, not too much.
Eating, drinking beer, chatting...
The most relaxing part of the day for the two of them may be when they eat at a late-night snack bar after get off work.
Before I knew it, the crayfish was finished.
Two pounds of crayfish is not enough.
Under normal circumstances, one person can easily eat three to four pounds of crayfish.
"Boss, two more pounds of dragonets." Li Xuebin shouted.
"I'm sorry, the crayfish are sold out." The owner of the night snack shop came over and said: "Today's crayfish are expensive, so I only bought more than thirty kilograms of crayfish. Come back tomorrow, I will buy more tomorrow."
"Yeah." Li Xuebin nodded and said, "Did you get the crayfish from someone named Gao?"
"How do you know?"
Li Xuebin looked at Zhou Minghai and smiled, then turned around and said, "We know the owner of these crayfish."
The owner of the night snack shop sat down and said, "I heard from Boss Gao that these crayfish are raised in the reservoir, right?"
"Yeah. A small reservoir of 70 to 80 acres... If you say it's the crayfish sent by Boss Gao, we will eat them without any worries." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "Growing aquatic plants in the reservoir, such a deep reservoir,
Why did you plant aquatic plants?"
"That's my skill..."
Just as he was talking, another diner shouted: "Boss, two more...three more kilograms of crayfish."
This late-night snack shop is not big, with two shops and some tables outside. The staff of the late-night snack shop came up and said apologetically: "Sorry, the crayfish has been sold out."
"It's not even fun, why don't you prepare more."
"Today's crayfish are expensive to buy, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them all if I buy too much."
"We will buy more goods tomorrow. We will come back tomorrow night and reserve 10 kilograms first."
"Okay... can you three eat something else?"
"Forget it, settle the bill..."
…
Someone is enjoying a late-night snack.
There are still people running on the road.
Zhang Wenyuan sat in the passenger seat with a smile on his face.
Today, there were more than 300 kilograms of crayfish, and Huacheng consumed more than 200 kilograms. For the rest, they went to Lijiang first, met with several big night snack shop owners, and then went to Dali...
This batch of crayfish is not distributed through distribution. The quality is very good, so it is sold directly. Delivered directly to the store, you can earn more.
It's a pity that we didn't negotiate with several big night market stalls because they thought the crayfish were too expensive.
The night market stall specializing in crayfish is very popular...it's not uncommon to sell hundreds of kilograms in one night.
"Hello, Boss Ye?" Zhang Wenyuan held a notebook, which recorded the delivery volume of Gaoshanping crayfish: "Are you sleeping?"
After a while, Ye Mo's voice came from inside: "Not yet."
"We need crayfish tomorrow, about 1,300 kilograms. I'll arrange for someone to come and load the car in the morning..."
"OK."
"Same as last year, we pack large foam boxes and shorten the loading time as much as possible."
"No problem, I have already arranged the manpower here." Ye Mo said.
