After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 50 Stealing Business
Liu Rui took the school bag and looked at the design inside with a smile on his face. He thought his was better than Ye Chenjing's.
The other people were also very happy and readily handed over the two hundred coins.
Ye Qing was also very busy at home. His fifth brother had gone to school, and he gave twenty of his chickens to Ye Qing, so he had to cut more grass every day.
The rabbits raised by Ye Qing have given birth to another litter. There are now more than 60 rabbits, and the first batch of rabbits are also pregnant with baby rabbits.
The Zhou family has more than fifty rabbits. The two families eat a few rabbits during the busy farming season, but they are reluctant to eat them at other times.
Ye Qing followed Boss Ye to Fu'an Pavilion to deliver snails, wanting to ask if Fu'an Pavilion wanted rabbits.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I have a lot of rabbits at home. Do you need any?"
Shopkeeper Wang thought about it and realized that the chef at Fu'an Pavilion was not good at cooking rabbit meat and few people bought rabbit meat in his store, so he rejected Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was not disappointed. No business is ever smooth sailing. She and Boss Ye went to several restaurants but could not find any that would buy rabbits on a long-term basis.
Ye Qing was a little anxious. There were nearly a hundred rabbits in his own family and the Zhou family, and he couldn't eat them all.
Boss Ye was very patient. He took Ye Qing to the inn that had just arrived in Wu'an City. There were many caravans in the inn, so maybe someone would buy it.
Boss Ye went to see the innkeeper first, "Boss, do you remember me? I stayed at your place a few months ago when we just escaped from the famine."
The shopkeeper only remembered Ye Lao Da and his group when he heard about fleeing famine. "It's you. I remember this little girl. She was very smart. How are you now? Are you continuing to go south or staying here?"
When Ye Qing heard the shopkeeper praising him, he also said, "Shopkeeper, we now live in Kaoshan Village, south of Wu'an City. We have built a house now. We came here to thank you. Thank you for letting us stay."
The shopkeeper was very pleased to know that Ye Qing could see that he was helping them at that time.
His inn was the largest inn in Wu'an City and there was no shortage of guests. He only let them in out of pity for them.
The shopkeeper saw that the two of them had something to ask, so he asked, "You two didn't come here just to see me today, did you? If you have anything else to say, feel free to ask."
Ye Qing didn't hide it anymore, "Boss, we came to ask you if anyone wants to buy rabbits. We have a lot of rabbits at home and we want to sell some."
"You have asked the right person about this matter. Our boss has another caravan. You can take the rabbits to Qingyunzhai in the east of the city, and they will collect them."
"Thank you, boss. These are the snails we made. I'll leave some for you to try." Ye Qing hurriedly thanked him.
The two of them took a ox cart to the east of the city and found Qingyunzhai, which was filled with things, including some mountain products.
Ye Qing carried two rabbits in a basket and entered Qingyunzhai.
The guy inside came over and asked, "What are you two selling?"
"We are here to sell rabbits. How much is one pound?"
The waiter quoted the price expertly, "Rabbit is twenty cents a pound. We'll take as many as you can get."
Ye Qing calculated that a rabbit weighed five or six pounds, and one cost more than a hundred coins.
Ye Qing sold the two he brought to Qingyunzhai for two hundred coins, and then the two of them went home.
Ye Qing first gave Zhou 120 coins, then went to Zhou's house and told his uncles that Qingyunzhai was collecting rabbits.
Several uncles of the Zhou family were very excited. Their farming was not as good as that of other families in the village, and their harvests were average. They could only make a little money by raising rabbits.
After discussion, the Zhou family decided not to sell the rabbits yet, and wait until the rabbits were larger in size before selling them.
There is a lot of grass outside now, and the rabbits will grow very fast if you feed them some. It is better to wait until winter when there is less grass and then sell them.
Ye Qing had just finished his meal at his grandfather's house and when he got home he saw his aunt saying something angrily.
"Grandma, I'm back. Auntie came back so early today that all the snails are sold out."
Ye Qiu saw that Ye Qing felt a little aggrieved, "Qingya, there is another snail seller in the market. They saw that the snail business is good, so they want to steal our business."
Ye Qing had expected that someone would take over his business, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Ye Qing is very confident in his secret recipe. Some of the ingredients in it are bought from pharmacies, and no one else can make that taste.
"My aunt's family's food is probably not as delicious as ours."
"Qingya, it's true that it's not as delicious as ours, but they sell it cheaply, only three cents a pound."
"Don't worry, auntie. Old customers will come back in a few days."
"Aunt Qingya is unsure, should we also lower the price?"
Ye Qing didn't quite agree with the price war. His own costs were high, so he could only think of other ways.
Ye Qing recalled his favorite food in the summer. Barbecue was not appropriate, but lobster was okay, and spicy dragon boat was his favorite in the summer.
Ye Qing immediately took his brother to the river to catch lobsters.
"Qingya, why are you living in Pacha? There are a lot of these in paddy fields. They will dig holes and damage crops. They are all thrown away." Ye Dalang didn't quite understand.
"Brother, this is also called lobster. It's delicious. Just believe me. Think about snails. Isn't it delicious?"
Ye Dalang also figured it out. Ye Qing was the smartest one and had a lot of ideas. This was not a difficult thing to do. If it didn't taste good, he could just throw it away secretly.
The lobster hides in the water plants and has a pair of large claws, so it is not easy to catch.
Ye Dalang took a basket, found a place with lush aquatic plants, scattered some food in the basket, and took a stick, stirring it back and forth to drive the lobsters into the basket.
After doing this several times, Ye Dalang picked up the basket, which contained more than thirty lobsters.
The lobsters in the basket crawled around anxiously, their tentacles swaying from side to side, and they would fight each other from time to time.
Ye Dalang poured the lobsters into the bucket, went to the river to catch some more, and then went back with the lobsters.
"Qingya, this is all shells, not much meat. Will anyone be willing to buy it?" Zhou was not very optimistic.
"Mom, I'll make it in a minute. You'll know how delicious it is when you taste it." Ye Qing said mysteriously.
Ye Qing soaked the lobster for an hour, then scrubbed it clean with a bamboo brush, cut off half of the lobster head, picked out the shrimp thread, and cleaned it.
Heat oil in a pan, add chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and bay leaves, the aroma will be overwhelming, then add the lobster and stir-fry, then simmer for a while.
Ye Qing made another pot of garlic flavored soup. The garlic flavor was even stronger than the chili flavor.
Soon the delicious aroma wafted out, and the other members of the Ye family gathered outside the kitchen, waiting to eat lobster.
Ye Qing first picked up one and gave it to Li. Li couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. A spicy aroma spread in his mouth and he had no time to speak.
"How does it taste? Is it delicious?" Boss Ye looked at Li eating with relish and his mouth began to water.
