Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 102 Try something new, but it’s not tasty at all?

I have been busy building the house these days and have not been to the city for several days. I don't know how the shop is doing. Early in the morning, the village chief brought the land deed, and the muddy pond officially belonged to Yao Qingnian. So Yao Qingnian asked Ye Youcai to help find a few people to catch crayfish in the muddy pond.

"Brother Ye, remember, catch the big ones and leave the small ones in the muddy pond. After you catch the lobsters, please help me clean them up. I want to specialize in breeding lobsters."

"What? Big sister, are you okay?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just do your job!" Ye Youcai patted the young man who was speaking.

Yao Qingnian gave them 20 coins each to catch lobsters and clean the fish pond. When the children heard the noise, they all ran over and asked, "Aunt Qingnian, are you going to catch big bugs again?"

"Yeah, do you want to come? I'll pay, just like last time! I've bought this muddy pond, you can catch as many as you want."

"Okay!"

While people were busy catching crayfish here, after a whole morning, Ye Youcai's ox cart was filled with several baskets of big insects, which caused quite a stir in the village. This move left everyone puzzled.

After preparing all these, Yao Qingnian went into the city after lunch.

Arriving at the shop, Yuanniang and Zhongxia looked at the cart of big bugs and were a little confused: "Miss, what are you doing?"

Many guests also looked over. Taking advantage of their curious gazes, Yao Qingnian moved a stool and shouted loudly: "Everyone who came today is in for a treat. Our store has launched several new products, crayfish in garlic sauce, crayfish in instant noodles, and beer. Everyone present will get a free crayfish and beer for each table."

As soon as this was said, the guests present were shocked: "What? Free tasting? This bug looks scary, they are not trying to trick us!"

Yao Qingnian asked Yun Li to help move the lobster to the backyard and then started cleaning it.

Yao Qingnian demonstrated the method to Zhongxia and Yuanniang. Zhongxia had a good memory and remembered it after doing it once. Yao Qingnian was very satisfied. The aroma of instant noodles and lobsters wafted through the shop. The guests all swallowed their saliva in anticipation. She carried the first pot of crayfish out and served one to each table.

"What's on the table right now is our new product, instant noodle crayfish. Look, this is how you eat lobsters... The meat is chewy and delicious."

Yao Qingnian demonstrated by peeling the lobster and putting it in his mouth.

"How are we supposed to peel the fruits with so much oil on them? Wouldn't it be better if you peel them first and serve them to us?" Many people claim to come from scholarly families. This is the first time they have seen such a rough way of eating and they are unwilling to try.

"This gentleman asked a good question. Lobsters are only more delicious if you peel them yourself. If someone else peels them, the flavor is only half as good!"

"You still say that? Anyway, it's free. The shopkeeper has eaten it all, so I'll have one too!"

Everyone was watching: "Brother, how does it taste?"

"This, this, this..." He didn't have time to speak and took another sip of beer.

"Why are you still stuttering? Come on, tell us! We are so anxious!"

"It's not delicious! It's really not delicious at all!"

“He said it tasted bad!”

The crowd who were watching were originally looking forward to it, and were disappointed when they heard that it was not tasty. However, what the boy said next was shocking.

"Would you like to give me your share?"

The first boy who ate lobster quickly finished the lobster and noodles on his plate, gulped down the beer in the glass, and felt unsatisfied. He looked at the man who was talking next to him, then looked eagerly at the plate of lobster on his table and said.

"If it's not tasty, why do you want my portion?"

"I'll eat it for you, don't waste it."

"Tsk, I don't believe you! Look everyone, he ate his portion clean, he almost licked the plate, it must be delicious, you're the one who tried to cheat us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the big guys started to eat one after another. They were so hungry that the small portion was not enough to fill their stomachs.

"Boss, give me a large portion of this instant noodles with crayfish, and a large cup of beer! This is much more satisfying than milk tea! Drinking is more suitable for my status as a brother." The eldest brother felt that he had never eaten such delicious noodles, with a rich flavor and full of chewy texture, and with these worms, he couldn't stop eating one mouthful after another.

"I want one too! I want one too!" For a moment, everyone who had tasted it ordered lobster again.

"Okay, okay! Plenty of lobsters for today!"

Yao Qingnian asked everyone to stop what they were doing and help wash the lobsters, while she and Zhongxia were responsible for frying them.

Ye Youcai was also kept to help. He was shocked to see how popular the lobsters were. The pests that everyone in the village avoided became delicacies here for Yao Qingnian. Everyone was scrambling to eat them. If he told others about this in the village, I'm afraid few people would believe it!

After school, the students came out and saw that Yao Qingnian's shop was more crowded than usual. When they got closer, they saw that everyone was eating insects! In addition, everyone's table was piled with insect shells. After asking around, they found out that Qingnian Food Court had launched a new product.

The popularity of crayfish spread throughout Anding County at lightning speed, becoming even more popular than milk tea. Everyone crowded on the street, wanting to see what was so special about this lobster. Those who came were all amazed when they saw this insect.

In this way, most of the crayfish that Yao Qingnian brought were sold in less than a day, and the beer was sold out. Those who didn’t get to drink beer ordered milk tea. Today’s turnover has increased several times.

For several days in a row, there was an endless stream of people coming to eat lobsters, so Yao Qingnian found two more people who were specifically responsible for cleaning the crayfish.

After things in the shop settled down, Yao Qingnian returned to the village and began to spread the news, buying up crayfish from all over the town. He kept some small fry from the muddy pond and caught all the rest.

As soon as Yao Qingnian told the villagers about collecting crayfish, they immediately started talking: "Huaijin's wife, you really collect big bugs? And you charge one penny per pound. We are all from the same village, so please don't deceive us."

"Yeah, I've never heard of insects being sold for money. I don't want to waste my time and effort and not get any money..."

"Don't worry, if you have any big insects, just send them to me. I will take them all! But they must be alive. I won't take any that are too small."

"It's true! That's great! I have to go back and gather my boys to catch him. If it's too late, he will be captured!"

An aunt said this and left in a hurry.

The purchase price of lobsters is one cent per pound. Once this price is announced, many people stop what they are doing and go to catch crayfish. Ten pounds of crayfish is worth ten cents. If there are many, it is not difficult to catch hundreds of pounds a day...
