Here, Su Ming followed Ge Meihua to her home. Ge Meihua was very generous. She took out a fish bag and handed it to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, I'm not telling you, you still have to find a job. You can eat the lobsters you catch yourself, but you must not give them to your daughter. Su Xue is so sensible, so you should stop drinking.
Beat him." Ge Meihua persuaded in a low voice while drying clothes.
"Okay, okay, thank you Aunt Meihua. If I, Su Ming, become successful in the future, I will never forget Aunt Meihua." Su Ming thanked her, took the fish bag and left.
Ge Meihua sighed, not caring about Su Ming's plans for success in the future. For someone like Su Ming, as long as he could survive and stop harming Xue'er, that would be fine.
Su Ming went home, tidied up, took the fish bag, and went to the place Ge Meihua said.
He wants to catch more lobsters, and Su Ming can guarantee that these lobsters can be sold in the county for at least ten yuan a pound.
In Dayuan Village, there is a Yuqing Mountain. Yuqing Mountain is full of tombs. At this time, burials were still quite popular, so the tombs built were very large and looked very eerie.
At the foot of the mountain, there are large fields, as well as many vacant areas covered with weeds. A two-meter-wide river circles around Yuqing Mountain, carrying the mountain water coming down from the mountain.
Su Ming came to the river and took a look. Sure enough, there were many lobsters scurrying around inside.
He looked happy, thinking that these villagers must have thought that lobsters eat dead bodies because there were so many graves on the mountain. But it happened to be an advantage for him. The wild lobsters at the foot of the mountain were raised in mountain springs, no.
I wonder if the lobster meat will taste better.
Time was running out, so Su Ming immediately picked up the fish bag and started catching lobsters.
He also made a simple homemade fishing rod for fishing lobsters, using lobster meat as bait. He specially placed it in muddy water and used it to catch lobsters.
One morning passed, and Su Ming had a bucket full of lobsters.
I have to say that this is a God-given opportunity. The lobsters here are so stupid, plentiful and fat. You can catch them yourself. When there are many, you can catch five or six at a time.
At this time, many women and old men working in the fields will also go home for lunch.
When they came to the river to wash their hoes and rain boots, they saw Su Ming catching lobsters, and they couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Su Ming, what are you doing with so many lobsters?"
"These lobsters are good things. I will be of great use to them!" Su Ming replied without raising his head.
"What's the use of this lobster? You don't raise chickens or ducks. You won't eat these lobsters yourself, right?"
The villagers all shook their heads, thinking that Su Ming was probably stimulated and was completely stupid. He actually thought of treating these lobsters as treasures. If he caught so many of them, he must want to eat them.
For a while, the whole village was spreading rumors that Su Ming was possessed by evil spirits, some said that Su Ming was insane, and some even said that Su Ming was crazy because of poverty and regarded lobsters as treasures...
Everyone was confused and shocked by Su Ming's behavior.
By the time Su Ming returned home, Aunt Guiying was already standing at the door of her house.
"Oh, Su Ming, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Just now many neighbors said that you were catching lobsters. What do you want to do with these lobsters? You don't want to eat them, right?"
Guiying looked at the large bucket of lobsters in Su Ming's hand in front of her with some surprise, and thought to herself, you have just gotten better, why did you start thinking about lobsters?
Su Ming smiled at Aunt Guiying: "I remembered that I have a friend who collects lobsters, so I thought about taking some to him and asking if he still wants them now, so as to earn some hard-earned money."
"Hey, you, a former business person, have a very good mind. But are they using these lobsters as feed for pigs?" Guiying guessed the purpose of collecting the lobsters and found it a bit weird.
Su Ming felt ashamed, you are insulting the millions of people who love crayfish.
Guiying also helped sort out the lobsters, rinsed them briefly, picked out the big ones and removed the small ones. After working for a while, she sorted out half a basket full of lobsters.
Looking at the already high sun, Su Ming was worried that he would come back too late, and Su Xue would be worried. She didn't even eat lunch, so she divided the lobsters into two boxes, picked up the lobsters, and rushed to the county town.
Since he didn't have a car, he could only wave down buses.
Qinghe County itself is a remote small county in Jiangzhou City, and Dayuan Village is located at the corner of the entire Qinghe County, close to the mountains, and has inconvenient transportation.
There is only one bus line leading to Qinghe County all year round.
In the afternoon of September, the weather was still a bit hot, and waves of heat were rising on the cement road.
The bus swayed its square body and slowly drove towards me.
On the way to the county seat, you need to transfer two trains and the ride takes about an hour and a half.
Su Ming used the few dollars he had just borrowed from Aunt Guiying to pay the fare.
There were only seven or eight people in the car, but they all came with big and small bags, and some came directly carrying black 28-year-old bars.
The conductor lady saw Su Ming carrying a basket with red lobster claws poking out from time to time, and asked: "What is in your bag? Is it a lobster?"
Su Ming sat opposite the conductor. He lowered his head to confirm, and then said awkwardly: "Yes, but the water has dripped dry. If you don't get it, the car will be full of water."
I heard that someone was taking lobsters as a bus to the county town, and the people in the bus started to make fun of them.
“I’ve seen people bring chickens, ducks and dogs on the bus, but I’ve never seen anyone bring lobsters.”
"Hahaha, are you going to take this lobster to the city and sell it to them to feed their chickens?"
Most of the people in the carriage are farm men, and the good ones may just be doing odd jobs in small workshops in the town. They have never really been to the city and don't understand what nightlife is.
Like the villagers in Dayuan Village, they all felt that the lobster was dirty and could not be eaten.
Su Ming didn't argue with everyone. He was happy that all of you thought this stuff was inedible, so I would be the only one to go to the county town to sell it.
After staggering for an hour and a half, Su Ming finally arrived at this county town that he had often visited before, but was somewhat unfamiliar to him.
On the roadside, he asked and walked according to the memory in his mind, looking for those food stalls, restaurants, or night snack bars.
"Su Xue's father?!" Suddenly an exclamation sounded from beside Su Ming.
