Tang Xun and Chen Chen took the net and fished for crayfish on the shore.
There is a faint white smoke floating on the water surface of the reservoir. There are many aquatic plants on the shore, and crayfish can be seen climbing everywhere...
Ye Mo came back from feeding crayfish. The two of them were fishing from the place where they were fed crayfish. They had already fished a large bucket of crayfish, and they had also selected them, leaving only big crayfish.
Back home, Ye Mo cleaned the crayfish with a brush, while Tang Xun and Chen Chen took out the shrimp threads. It was almost dark when they were done.
The water in the reservoir is clear, clean, and deep. There are green-shell crayfish in it. They are not big and the meat is very plump...
"What should I do with crayfish?" Tang Xun washed the crayfish and asked.
"Fry it first." Ye Mo said, "Fry it until it turns red. You fry it while I prepare the ingredients..."
Chen Chen and Tang Xun were one of them lighting the fire and the other holding the spoon.
Ye Mo went to the backyard and pulled out a few chives and a piece of celery. Back in the kitchen, he washed another piece of ginger... and peeled a lot of garlic...
Ingredients include star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, etc.
The green shell crayfish that has been over-oiled will turn red quickly. Pick it up, add spices and dried chilies to the oil inside. When the aroma is fragrant, add the bean paste... and stir-fry for a while.
The entire kitchen was filled with a pungent aroma. Ye Mo added crayfish...
There are a lot of crayfish, so you need a big pot.
After stir-frying the crayfish, Ye Mo took two bottles of beer, poured them down, and covered the pot.
All that's left is to wait.
Ye Mo took out his phone and called Lin Xiaomian: "Are you off work?"
"I'm packing up and getting ready to get off work." Lin Xiaomian said.
"I made crayfish at home, so I asked my parents to come over and eat it," Ye Mo said.
"OK."
Tang Xun also took out his phone: "Honey, I'm at Ye Mo's side... come here to eat crayfish."
"Call uncle and the others to come together..." Ye Mo said.
Today’s crayfish is a big pot.
To make crayfish, only half a barrel of oil was used. This Tang Xun is also very capable...
When the crayfish was ready, Ye Mo remembered to cook the rice, then took off the bacon from the stove, washed it, and cooked it together.
The crayfish in the pot is also ready. Turn off the heat, put a large basin out, and simmer the rest in the pot.
A car came outside and parked outside.
"Are the crayfish ready?" Wang Yue walked in.
"It's done." Ye Mo said.
As soon as Wang Yue entered the house, Lin Xiaomian drove in in a car, taking Ye Ran with him.
"Mom and dad aren't here?" Ye Mo asked when he saw they were the only two.
"Mom has prepared dinner." Ye Ran said.
Everyone washed their hands, Ye Mo took out the bowls and chopsticks, put them on the table, and then took out the beer...
"How much work is left to be done?" Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian and asked.
"There are still more than a thousand acres. The pomegranate orchard is densely populated with fruit trees and the progress is slow." Ye Ran said: "It is estimated that it will take more than twenty days to complete."
"Twenty days of work should be done soon. I think it will take at least a month." Lin Xiaomian said.
"Will it take so long?" Tang Xun looked at them.
"The pomegranate orchard is too densely populated with fruit trees and there are many hillsides, so the progress will be slower."
There are more fruit trees in the pomegranate orchard, but the pits dug are relatively small, and you don’t need to dig them to 60 centimeters. A depth of about 40 centimeters is enough. It’s just that the pomegranate orchard has more slopes...
"You can prune the branches of the fruit trees first." Ye Mo said.
"Start pruning at the end of the month." Tang Xun said. During this time, their family has been helping others outside, helping carry fertilizers, pruning... they will have to work for a few more days.
The total labor force is more than ninety. One person, day by day, is considered a labor force. During this period, Tang Xun, Tang's father, Wang Yue's father, and their mother have been working outside. Anyway, they are not there.
Not in a hurry……
Once they start work over there, they should be able to finish it all in two or three days.
Tang Xun and his family have 130 acres of pomegranates. If they just ask their few laborers to do it themselves, it will definitely be too much.
"Is this a crayfish raised in your big reservoir?" Wang Yue peeled off the crayfish shell. The shell was easy to peel and the meat inside was very plump and tender.
"How about that?" Ye Mo nodded.
"It tastes pretty good, and there's quite a lot of meat." Wang Yue said with a smile.
"With this skill, I can open a crayfish supper in the town." Tang Xun also tasted it, especially the soup that was simmering together, and the spicy taste filled his mouth... He took another sip of beer and felt very comfortable.
Ye Mo learned this skill from Lin Xiaomian. After seeing how many times she has made crayfish, he knows how to do it.
A large bowl of crayfish will be finished soon.
"It's not even satisfying." Ye Ran said, "Why don't you do more."
"There are more in the pot." Ye Mo stood up, took out all the crayfish in the pot, and filled another pot full.
A bucket of crayfish, filled with two pots.
But the meat of crayfish is really not much. If you want to eat it happily, even five pounds is not enough for one person.
Although crayfish is delicious, it is not advisable to eat too much.
After finishing the crayfish, Ye Mo cut the bacon and cooked a pot of baby cabbage to fill his stomach...
"Are you two free tomorrow?" Ye Mo looked at Chen Chen and Tang Xun and asked.
"When you're free..." Chen Chen said.
"I'm free too."
"Then you guys come over tomorrow and help me set up the fight," Ye Mo said.
"You are so good at talking." Tang Xun said with a bitter look on his face, "It took a lot of effort for me to be able to play for a few days."
"It's a day to play, and it's a day to come and work for me. When the fruits here are ripe, you can eat them as you like." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"I want it." Chen Chen said.
"How much airs are you going to put up here?" Tang Xun asked.
"All the bamboo poles that were delivered have been used up," Ye Mo said.
"so many……"
"Have a good time this year." Ye Mo said: "If I make money, I will invite you to go out and play next year."
"I want it." Tang Xun then laughed.
After dinner, it was getting late, so everyone sat for a while and then left.
Ye Mo and the others cleaned up the kitchen, washed themselves and lay on the bed.
"Can the crayfish in the reservoir be sold?" Lin Xiaomian asked.
"It can be sold." Ye Mo said, taking out his mobile phone and clicking on the aquaculture website. He had registered as a member a few days ago and posted information about selling crayfish on it. He also posted information in the same city and Tieba.
There are not many people playing Tieba these days, especially when it comes to selling information about crayfish.
People on the aquatic products website and in the same city responded to Ye Mo's message.
Ye Mo also asked Xiaomian's father. Xiaomian's father has been raising lobsters. He also knows the crayfish buyers and plans to bring them here to have a look later.
Huacheng is a mountainous area. There are not many crayfish farmers, and the prices are pretty good.
In late August, Xiaomian's family sold lobsters for 22 yuan per catty, medium to upper size, red shell lobsters.
The crayfish here in Ye Mo cost 4-7 yuan, and a few of them cost 8 yuan, including green shell crayfish.
Red-shell crayfish are more expensive than green-shell crayfish, and the specifications of red-shell and green-shell crayfish are different. According to the classification standard of green-shell crayfish, if the size is more than 6 yuan, it is considered a first-class large crayfish.
Green-shell crayfish have small claws, thin shells and lots of meat.
The crayfish sold in the market are usually medium-sized red shrimps, and large sizes are rarely seen. And the green shrimps on the market are mostly medium-green...
There are many factors that affect the price of crayfish. The most important thing is to look at the quality. Then, whether you can find a strong aquatic product dealer.
No matter how good the product is, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price if you cannot find a strong aquatic product dealer.
