After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 391 Acquisition of Crayfish

This thing is said to be disgusting. It is made of inferior ingredients and is made of shells. Doesn’t it taste good?
Xu Mengxiao looked at one tank, two tanks, and five tanks in front of him. They were filled with dense crayfish!
"Hehe." Lin Gui scratched his head in embarrassment.

"There is no way. The weather here in the south of the Yangtze River is good, the terrain is good, and all kinds of products are abundant. It is also the season when water is released in the rice fields, and stinging insects are infested. Many people catch them and chop them into pieces for their chickens and ducks."

"No, when our people went to collect them, the villagers heard that they could exchange them for money. They were so excited that the whole family went shirtless and ran to catch them in the fields."

"We only went to one village and collected so much. I heard that there are quite a few in other villages."

Xu Mengxiao raised her eyebrows. It would be great if there were stinging insects. Such ingredients are absolutely indispensable. They are cheap and eating them will be beneficial to the crops.

Achieving multiple goals with one stone has always been her style.

"How much does it cost per pound?" Xu Mengxiao was afraid that the price they gave was too high, which would affect her future pricing.

At this time, Lin Cai came over and said indifferently: "One penny per catty, it only cost several hundred pennies, not as expensive as the travel expenses."

Xu Mengxiao, "..." I knew it wouldn't be much more expensive, but I didn't expect it to be so cheap!

You know, the price of modern live shrimp is already 23 yuan per catty, and there are many prepared ones priced at 100 or [-] yuan per catty.

Those are crayfish raised by oneself, which are not as nutritious and delicious as wild ones.

Xu Mengxiao took a spoon and poked around in the water tank for a while, and saw that each crayfish was very big, and they were not the red or black ones that looked too old to be eaten.

There was no pollution in ancient times, and these crayfish were not dirty at all. Each one had thin skin and a lot of meat. They were in the state of young and middle-aged people. Many of them still had cyan shells or bright red shells, and the meat was ridiculous!

Xu Mengxiao couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at it.

"Take a look and sort them like I do." She called Lin Gui and a few cooks and waiters from the kitchen to help with the cooking.

"The shrimp with the shrimp in its belly is a female shrimp and needs to be released to ensure its reproduction."

"What? Reproduction is guaranteed?" A cook asked in confusion, "When we see this female shrimp, we get rid of it as soon as possible. This thing grows so much and fast, destroying a lot of crops, it should be killed!" "

Well, Xu Mengxiao had forgotten that this was the ancient time when all kinds of wild creatures exploded, not modern times. Wild crayfish and the like were hard to find in wild ponds, and they were basically farmed.

"But this kind of female shrimp cannot be eaten. If you don't want to release it, feeding it to chickens and ducks will be a great supplement."

"But when we start the crayfish business in the future, the demand for this stuff is absolutely amazing, so it's better to put them back in a special breeding pond. Don't use water to grow crops in such a pond."

Many people were also puzzled by these behaviors, and they all looked at each other, "Don't plant crops?"

Because the whole of Daxing has been relatively dry in the past few years, and water is already in short supply, how can it be used to raise shrimps without irrigation?This is something that few people understand.

Wouldn’t that cut off the farmers’ livelihood?

Xu Mengxiao is not in a hurry. Whether it is irrigation water or breeding ponds, in the future they will find that crayfish are profitable, perhaps even more profitable than growing crops. There is no need for her to do anything, they will naturally know what to do.

Moreover, there will no longer be crayfish digging holes in the fields, destroying crops and causing flooding.

Because they were all eaten.

She laughed and said, "Don't worry, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. These little shrimps will probably get into our stomachs when they grow up before they have time to make holes."

Everyone, "..." Stinging insects are something that no one touches during the famine years!

At this moment, Xu Mengxiao asking them to eat crayfish is equivalent to asking today's people to eat earthworms. Who can accept this? !
For a moment, everyone looked at this wise and powerful Sandong family in a different way.

Xu Mengxiao coughed lightly, "This has been verified for thousands of years..."

After muttering, she continued to demonstrate, "You can just pinch the heads of these small shrimps that haven't grown up yet, squeeze them out, and make some shrimp dishes."

At this time, a cook was stunned for a moment, "Shrimp? I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."

Xu Mengxiao twitched the corner of her mouth. Zuixiao Pavilion made seafood, including shrimps, various kinds of shrimps and fish, similar to sashimi, and they were sold in hot demand.It's just that they are big lobsters, this one is crayfish, one is seafood, and the other is river seafood.

But everyone can't tell the difference. The two are also shrimps.

This is the gap between the knowledge and living standards of ordinary people and the aristocracy.

What Xu Mengxiao wants to do is to popularize such excellent food among ordinary people!

Several people followed her, removing the shrimp lines from the smaller shrimps and leaving the shrimps on the plates.

The shrimp meat is firm and tender, and seems to have some fresh toughness. It is very delicious at first glance.

Immediately, Xu Mengxiao demonstrated the crayfish she really wanted to use——

"The first step is to use a brush to clean the dirt on the outside of the shrimp shells, and then use scissors to cut off the shrimp bladders and stomachs on the top of the head at an angle."

"Then, process the shrimp gills and shrimp threads in this way. These things are very dirty. You can't make a mistake. The root is the nerve, and this is the shrimp thread, which is the intestines of the crayfish."

Everyone was confused after hearing this, but that didn't stop them from having very strong hands-on skills. They just followed Xu Mengxiao to do it for a while, and after trying it a few more times, they basically knew how to do it.

"If you have time, please ask someone to help clean and dispose of these tanks of crayfish. I will use them at noon tomorrow."

Originally, Xu Mengxiao didn't want to do so much, just eat as much as she wanted.

But since you have bought so much, it will be wasted if you don’t eat it, so why not cook it all?

Anyway, what cannot be eaten is stored in the space and can be kept fresh without any loss of flavor.

Crayfish can not only be used in cooking, but can also be used as a snack when you are hungry, without feeling tired at all.

After a while, a waiter came to the front hall and announced, "Sandong's family, your husband... Mr. Lu is here!"

Xu Mengxiao was stunned. Is Lu He coming to pick her up from get off work?

She was amused by this statement, and as if she had completely forgotten what happened in the afternoon, she walked up to the tall and tall man with a smile on her face.

"Why are you here? Why don't you have a good rest at home?"

In the lobby, many people recognized the beautiful Sandongjia who said she would give away good wine on the opening day, and they naturally remembered her fondly.

But the men around her couldn't help but whisper.

"You don't even know this, this is the husband of the Sandong family!"

"My dear, would anyone marry such a public and shameless woman?"

As soon as these words came out, he immediately attracted countless disgusted looks——

"I don't know! What does a public woman mean? A poor guy like you would never be able to marry such a smart, sharp, and unique woman from the Sandong family!"

As Taoyuan Township became famous, Xu Mengxiao, the beautiful owner, naturally became famous.

Of course, there was mixed praise and praise, some praised it, and some slandered it, but Xu Mengxiao didn't care.

But during this period, many men who claimed to be handsome and handsome, or some business professionals became very interested in Xu Mengxiao.

The former wants to use his good looks to become a live-in son-in-law or something.

The latter, with various condescending gestures and in the name of cooperation, wants to point out this rare woman in the business world. Of course, it would be great if she could take advantage...
