Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 44 Are you willing to pay for it?

After the delicacy was served on the table, Zhao Wenmu poured wine for Zhao Xuehai and the others.

When eating crabs, it is okay to drink a small amount of alcohol, but it is best not to drink beer.

There is not so much emphasis on eating crayfish.

The three little ghosts were almost drooling, but they also obeyed the rules. Before the elders moved their chopsticks, they would not pick up vegetables from the bowl.

But it's ok if it's straight from the pot.

"Who said not to eat just now?"

Zhao Wenmu asked with a smile as he stroked the little tusk behind Ziting's head.

This is what Aunt Zhao Jing made for Xiao Ziting today.

"My brother said it, my brother and Yuanming brother said it."

The little guy's voice is soft and waxy, cute and cute.

"Zhang Yuanming said it, but I didn't say it!"

Zhao Zimeng immediately grabbed the white.

"It's Zhao Zimeng who said it, not me!"

Zhang Yuanming is not to be outdone.

Then he was slapped from behind by his mother Zhao Wenyan.

"Cousin Zimeng, Zhao Zimeng, what does Zhao Zimeng look like!"

"Yes, Auntie is right!"

The aunt came to help her, and Zhao Zimeng became even more rampant immediately.

"What is it, isn't it what you said you wouldn't eat?"

However, my mother Liu Xiumei came to make things difficult.

"Go, go, you guys move a small bench and sit here to eat."

The whole family couldn't sit around, so Liu Xiumei simply gave the three little ghosts a big bowl of crayfish, and each of them a big crab, and asked them to sit next to them and eat.

"Zhao Zimeng, peel the crab for your sister!"

He did not forget to tell his son to take care of his little daughter.

"Zhang Yuanming, you too, remember to peel the prawns for your sister, don't patronize yourself to eat!"

Zhao Wenyan also ordered her son.

In fact, these two boys don't need to be told, naughty is naughty, and they have done a good job in taking care of the two little sisters.

The two of them peeled crabs and shrimps one by one, just like a competition, they put a bunch of them in Ziting's bowl after a while, and then started to eat.

"good to eat!"

"good to eat!"

"Don't learn from me!"

"Don't learn from me!"

The two quarreled while eating, and from time to time they put their fingers covered in soup into their mouths to suck, their little faces were full of intoxication.

The adults also had a great time eating.

Zhao Jing is holding the little girl now.

The little guy might be angry because he couldn't eat the crayfish, so he kept making troubles. Zhao Jing had to hug her all the time, and didn't care about eating.

Zhao Wenmu simply found a small bowl, peeled the crayfish one by one, and put them in the bowl after peeling.

When the bowl was piled up sharply, all of them were pushed in front of Zhao Jing at once.

Then get up and wash your hands.

After returning, he rescued his daughter-in-law from the clutches of her daughter.

"Sister, eat quickly, I will serve the little ancestor."

Zhao Wenmu held the little girl high in the yard, and the little girl started giggling soon.

Then he pointed to the crayfish and said "babbling".

"Baby, when you grow up, Dad will make you delicious food, okay?"

"Little brother really loves people now!"

Liu Xiumei felt sincerely.

"Yes, that's great! Ah Jing, you really have come to the end of all hardships."

Zhao Wenyan patted Zhao Jing's hand.

Liu Sufang's eyes were full of smiles, and even Zhao Xuehai, who was always stern, said:
"This kid finally looks like it!"

After playing for a while, my daughter finally stopped making trouble.

The little ones ate fast and were full in a while, so Zhao Wenmu gave the little girl to them to take care of.

Little Nannan has been a chatterbox since she was a child, babbling non-stop.

No one could understand what she was saying.

But these little ones can chat with her back and forth every time.

Little Nannan: "Yi Yi Ya Ya."

Zhao Zimeng: "That's right, it's delicious!"

Little Nannan: "Yi Ya Yi Ya yo."

Zhang Yuanming: "Yes, Zhao Zimeng eats the most."

Zhao Ziting: "Little girl can eat when she grows up!"

Little girl: "Hmph, chirp."

Zhao Ziting: "You can eat it when you are four years old, just like me."

"Little brother, this crayfish is so delicious, I can't stop eating one after another!"

Song Yun really didn't stop, she didn't bother to tease Zhao Jing just now.

"That's right, second sister-in-law, why do you still call it fishy?"

"It's not fishy, ​​it's not fishy at all!"

Song Yun quickly waved her hands, she never thought that crickets could be so delicious.

Why do you think it has no meat and fishy smell before?

How many good things have been missed in the past!
"Sister, is it delicious?"

Zhao Wenmu asked Zhao Jing with a smile.

"Delicious! It's really delicious, especially the crayfish. The meat doesn't seem to be much, but it's just right. Just like what the second sister-in-law said, after eating one, I want to eat the next one!"

Zhao Jing ate until her forehead was shining brightly. Obviously this level of spiciness was not low for her, but it was so delicious that she couldn't stop.

Zhao Wenmu took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully for Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing slightly raised her head, obediently letting him brush her forehead lightly.

Obviously, this is not once or twice.

"Second brother, second brother, I want it too!"

Song Yun immediately turned her head and said to Zhao Wenguang.

"What do you want?"

Zhao Wenguang was a little confused.

Song Yun pointed to Zhao Wenmu and then to her own forehead.

The crowd suddenly laughed.

Only then did Zhao Wenguang realize that he was about to wipe Song Yun's sweat with his hand.

Song Yun looked at the soup in his hand, and hurriedly hid in fright.

"No need, no need!"

"How about it, if someone sells such a spicy crayfish and spicy crab, would you be willing to pay for it?"

The main purpose of this meal is to let everyone try something new, and the secondary purpose is to do market research by the way.

"What is a crayfish?"

Zhao Wenlin asked.

"It's the crayfish. The crayfish sounds too common. I gave it a new name, crayfish."

"Crayfish, crayfish, not bad! This name is good, high-end atmosphere!"

Zhao Wenyan echoed.

"Yes, I am willing, this is much better than meat!"

Song Yun gave the answer first.

Everyone nodded in approval.

In the past, they might still be reluctant to spend money on buying them, but now that everyone has money, they will occasionally spend money on some delicious food.

"Which one is tastier?"

Zhao Wenmu continued to ask.

Just now Zhao Jing liked crickets more, I don't know if other people also mean the same.

"Crayfish, no, crayfish! This crayfish is more delicious, and just like Ah Jing said, although it is small, it is just right, making people unable to stop one after another."

Liu Xiumei thought for a while and said.

"This spicy crab is also delicious. The crab meat is fresh and tender, and the crab roe is plump. It's not like the crabs I ate before. It only has a fishy smell. This crab has several different flavors and is very enjoyable to eat."

Tonight's Zhao Jing is confident and beautiful, she is generous in front of her family, and talks gracefully.

"Well, Ah Jing is right, this crab tastes so good!"

Song Yun was still fighting with a crab claw, and did not forget to express her opinion.

"How about you guys, what's more delicious?"

Zhao Wenmu turned to ask the three little ghosts.

"Crayfish!"

"Crab!"

"It's all delicious!"

Three people, three answers.

Then came the unanimous voice:

"You cheated, there must be a better one!"

The final conclusion is indeed the same. The ratio of liking spicy crayfish and crab is almost [-]-[-], and crayfish is slightly better.

"How much is the big guy willing to pay for it?"

Zhao Wenmu asked the last question.

"5 cents a catty!"

Song Yun was the first to give the answer.

"4 cents a catty!"

"7 cents a catty!"

"5 cents a catty!"

Zhao Wenmu did a little statistics, and the average price is about 5 or 6 cents a catty.

"Sister, how much are you willing to spend?"

Zhao Jing has not answered yet.

"1 yuan a catty, 1 yuan, brother, you can sell it for 1 yuan a catty!"

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"Oh, our Ah Jing is now a little rich woman!"

Song Yun laughed and teased her.

"Sister, tell me carefully, why can you sell it for 1 yuan?"

Zhao Wenmu really plans to sell it for 1 yuan a catty, which is half as expensive as pork, definitely not cheap!
"Just now everyone said that the average price is 5 cents. Although our family has some money now, it is still not as good as the people in the city, and we are even more reluctant to spend money, so the price must be low."

Zhao Jing straightened out her thoughts and said slowly.

"Spicy crayfish and spicy crab are much more delicious than pork, and they are cheaper than pork for no reason! Even if they sell for 1 yuan, there are not few people in Pingyang County who can afford it. Even ordinary workers eat it once in a while. Twice is worth it."

"So I think it can be sold for 1 yuan."

Zhao Wenmu squeezed her hand and said with a smile:

"That's right, it doesn't make sense that spicy crayfish are cheaper than pork. And when I start selling crayfish, I guess someone will follow me and sell crayfish too."

"What was different about our crayfish back then? Why do people buy our crayfish?"

Zhao Wenmu's question made everyone think.

"Delicious! Ours is delicious!"

Zhao Zimeng gave the answer.

"That's right, ours is delicious! No matter how others learn, they are not as delicious as ours! Then we should sell them more expensive than others, so as to show that our crayfish are different!"

Sometimes it is like this, the more expensive things are the more sought after.

Don't think it's different in this age of scarcity!

The essence of expensive is scarcity, just like watches and bicycles in supply and marketing cooperatives, which often need half a year's wages of a worker, but they never worry about being unable to sell them.

It will be the same when the TV comes out in a few years. Compared with the income of ordinary people, this thing is a top-level luxury, but it still can't stop people's enthusiasm for buying it.

Although everyone didn't quite understand it, they also felt that it should be sold for 1 yuan!

When leaving, Zhao Wenmu wrapped a large piece of lard base for each family, so that they can also fry crayfish when they go home.

"Crayfish is delicious because of my unique secret recipe, no one can learn it!"

Zhao Wenmu patted his chest and said.

This confidence is still there.
