Chapter 858: High Price Before Mid-Autumn Festival

It tastes good and everyone thinks it’s delicious.

Then I started to taste the spicy meat sauce, which was more flavorful and more appetizing than the previous one.

In the end, it was changed to a hot and sour flavor, which immediately impressed everyone.

Therefore, after eating the three kinds of vermicelli, the coach and Aunt Cai also joined in the voting. Except for the two who didn’t like spicy food and chose braised pork shreds, the others voted for the spicy and sour vermicelli.

People's taste buds are connected.

Liu Yibang laughed and said, "If it were made into instant noodles, people would buy it."

Everyone nodded. "Actually, I think this is even better than instant noodles! It has peanuts, crackers, and meat sauce in it."

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Since everyone thinks it's good, I'll find a food convenience expert to study how to make it delicious, how to make it ready to eat, and how to extend its shelf life."

Secretary Zhou, the town mayor, and the village party secretaries all agreed and were willing to allocate funds to find food experts. Of course, the leaders also requested confidentiality to prevent this promising project from being snatched away by others.

Without Yang Wenwen's harassment, Liu Yibang feels that every day working here is full of energy and he doesn't have to worry about "sneak attacks".

In October, the weather turns cold.

Liu Yibang caught several boxes of live shrimps and blue crabs and gave one box of shrimps and one box of crabs to the town government canteen for everyone to taste. He also left some for the mayor and Secretary Zhou, asking them to give them to the county leaders.

Of course, they were both happy about this kind of work. They were just worried about what to bring when they visited their leader's home during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although these things were not sent to the leaders by Liu Yibang, he led the villagers to experiment with seafood farming in Baxiang Village, which was famous in the county.

Therefore, Liu Yibang did not deliberately specialize in the business. Instead, he went to Lan City to look for seafood buyers, hoping to sell these seafood at a high price before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

These seafood buyers didn't believe it when they heard that there was fresh seafood.

Boss Wang said with a chuckle, "How can you, young man, talk nonsense like that? We don't have an ocean here, so where do we get fresh seafood from? It's impossible. All the seafood here is flown in from other places, and by the time it gets here, it's almost dead."

Liu Yibang took a box directly from the shabby van and opened it. The shrimp inside were jumping around. "This shrimp is the seafood raised in the saline-alkali pond in our village. We raise it under the guidance of the Provincial Animal Husbandry College. The test report is out, and it meets national standards. It is fresh, delicious and nutritious."

Boss Wang was stunned. He was truly amazed. He reached out and scooped up a few prawns. "They are indeed fresher than the ones I buy from other places. Are they really farmed?"

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but the number is small this year, so I came here to test the waters first. If the price is good, I will expand the breeding next year."

Boss Wang was so excited, "I don't care how much you have, just give it all to me."

The day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. If we get them tomorrow morning, we'll have no trouble selling these rare seafood. It doesn't matter if they're farmed or wild-caught, as long as they're fresh, they're good. What's more, we have a test report from a reputable organization.

Liu Yibang asked: "I can't give you all of it. I also contacted Boss Li."

Boss Wang frowned, "Young man, you're being unkind. Don't you know I'm the seafood boss in the province?"

Liu Yibang smiled. "I know, but I can't just look for one client. That means I can only sell at the price you give me. Besides, I'm not just an ordinary young man, I'm the mayor, specifically responsible for the town's economy. Of course, I know that you, a big boss, don't take a small town mayor seriously, but I'm not just an ordinary mayor. I'm a central government selected student sent from Beijing to develop the economy."

Boss Wang has built such a big business, so he naturally knows all kinds of people, including those in both the black and white worlds. Originally, seeing that Liu Yibang was ungrateful, he wanted to punish him, but he didn't expect that he had a backer.

Besides, since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. No matter how rich he is, he is still a commoner. If he really touches Liu Yibang, he will probably not end well.

Boss Wang said with a smile, "It's a blessing for us locals that Mayor Liu is here to develop the economy. Especially in seafood farming, even someone like me, who's relatively knowledgeable, thinks there's great potential. The price is negotiable. It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. How about 15 yuan per pound?"

Liu Yibang was slightly stunned. "Actually, you don't have to give me such a high price just for my sake. Just follow the market price! After all, we need to raise more next year, and we can't keep asking you for favors."

Boss Wang smiled when he heard this. "So, there's a personal connection involved, but it's also because the seafood I bring in from the south is expensive to ship. Plus, it's Mid-Autumn Festival now, and you only have five mu (approximately 5 hectares) there, so at most, you can only produce a few thousand kilograms!"

Liu Yibang touched his chin and asked, "What's the price of blue crab?"

Boss Wang replied, "Thirty-two taels, forty-one catties. Between two and three taels, thirty yuan per catty. Anything smaller, and it's only ten yuan per catty."

Liu Yibang was very satisfied with the price. "Then I'll sell you all the prawns and mud crabs! According to my estimate, there should be over 1500 kilograms of prawns and about mud crabs. I can guarantee they'll all be alive. Please use your experience to arrange the transportation and seafood transport boxes."

Boss Wang said with a smile, "Okay, I have plenty of experience! I'll contact the truck today, and I'll personally lead the team and the truck to your village tonight! By the way, is the road over in Baxiang Village accessible to trucks?"

Liu Yibang replied: "This year I had a road built from the village to the town. It's wide enough for trucks to pass."

"That's good!" Boss Wang breathed a sigh of relief, further convinced that Liu Yibang was a very motivated and resourceful person. "I'll definitely go there in person. I'll treat Mayor Liu to lunch today!"

Liu Yibang waved his hand, "No, I have something else to do and I have to rush back this afternoon! By the way, when you go to pick up the goods, remember to bring money!"

"Cash?" Boss Wang asked. "How about we sign a contract and transfer the money directly to your village account?"

Liu Yibang chuckled and explained, "The village doesn't have an account, so it's against the rules to transfer money to my card. Besides, money transferred to a card is just a number. But if it's cash, it's bundles of money. I want the people to see with their own eyes that what we raise can be sold, and that their hard work and sweat are not in vain. Giving money out on the same day will not only stimulate the enthusiasm of the villagers, but also allow them to earn more money and have a good holiday!"

After more than half a year of hard work, he had worn himself out by using both coaxing and deceiving the villagers into joining him.

This year is the harvest season. When everyone sees the harvest and the money earned from selling seafood, they will join in the effort next year.
