Reborn back to 1986

Chapter 301 The First Snow (2)
Li Yan and Li Dazhong then went to the house at the foot of the mountain to see the toad, and they agreed that the wages would be settled every three months. This time, they came just in time for the third month. The difference was ten days and 20 days, and the money was paid in advance.In addition, a year-end red envelope of 500 yuan was given, and there were extra things, which made the old couple very happy, and repeatedly expressed that they would be optimistic about Toad.

Li Yan is not a person who is nice to anyone for no reason. The old couple surnamed Zhu are both in their sixties, strong and capable, and they will be fine in another ten or eight years.He is really caring about nursing, as can be seen from the thickness of the toad.

Before leaving, the four of them caught ten catties of female toads from the ditch together, weighed them, raised them for another winter, and sold them in batches in the next year.If the breeding is done properly, some toad oil can be produced in autumn.

After returning home, Li Yan divided the toads into four parts. Her family, grandma's house, and grandma Ji Yun's house accounted for most of the toads. The remaining three or four catties were filled with ice cubes in an incubator. Wait until you take it to school and give it to Sun Li.

The toad in winter is the most delicious, full of seed oil, it tastes delicious.Cui Yufeng is a master of toad stew, and the slightly spicy sauce that he made is so delicious that people can't swallow their tongues.

At this time, the toads are no more than the fish in the river, after all, they are still rare, and it is quite difficult to catch them, so that the asking price is very expensive, and most people are not willing to buy them to eat.

Ji Yun's grandma and grandpa are also considered old K County people, so they naturally know that this food is delicious and expensive, and it sells for less.The wild ones are hidden in rivers and bubbles, and when they can be obtained, there are only three or two. The buyer usually only needs to collect a catty in a few days, and it is not enough to meet a foodie.

In the middle of the 90s, not many people had the idea of ​​farming, and the semi-artificial and semi-wild method like Li Yan is even rarer. She is definitely a pioneer in this industry in this respect.

Only the closest relatives of her family knew about her raising toads in the mountains. Naturally, Ji Yun's grandparents didn't know about it, and thought she bought them back in town on purpose.At this time, toads are rare, and the ones that are sold are only in the villages and towns. There are no toads in the county towns, let alone the urban areas.

The old lady and the old man just said that she has filial piety, so she really likes this future granddaughter-in-law.After eating, he called Ji Yun and praised Li Yan for his good meal.Just let her grandson treat her well, and often go to school when she has nothing to do, so that the relationship between the two can be closer.It wasn't until Ji Yun on the other end kept saying that he wanted them to rest assured that he put down the phone in satisfaction.

Because she was concerned about giving gifts, Li Yan didn't stay until the afternoon as usual, and returned to school on Sunday morning.

At ten o'clock, the sun was almost in the sky. The rare good weather had no wind at all, and the warmth of the sun was very comfortable on the body.Li Yan took the black bag containing the small incubator and went to the dormitory where Sun Li lived.

The door of the dormitory was ajar and not closed tightly, leaving a palm-width gap. Li Yan stood outside the door and raised her hand to knock twice, calling in a low voice: "Teacher, are you there?"

There was no response from the room, so I knocked on the door again. This time, footsteps sounded as soon as the hand dropped. Someone came over and opened the door from the inside, "Sun Li is not here, he will be back in a while, why don't you come in and sit Wait for him?"

A man in his thirties, of average height and appearance, belongs to the kind of face that people can't remember. The only distinctive thing is the one-inch-long scar below the left cheekbone. It may be that the injury was not treated properly at the time. The red meat turned out extremely fiercely, adding a bit of ferocity to his ordinary appearance.Coupled with the extremely short haircut, people unconsciously wonder if he has just been released from the prison.

Just when Li Yan was about to retreat, Sun Li came back from the outside.Seeing her startled, she glanced over the black bag containing the incubator, "Li Yan, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, there's something wrong." Li Yan glanced at the scar-faced man.

Sun Li understood at the time, and explained: "This is my cousin, it's okay, if you have anything to do, go inside and talk about it?"

It's okay if the two are relatives, anyway, it's not guns and ammunition that are dangerous goods, and it's not worth worrying about this or that, so I relaxed after thinking about it, and followed into the dormitory openly.

The dormitory where Sun Li lives is about 20 square meters, and the room is very clean. There is a simple wardrobe at the door, and two beds are placed inside.Among the three leading teachers, Yang Bo got married after graduation and decided to stay in school, and now lives in a new house of [-] ping bought by his father-in-law in the city center.Shen Xiang had a girlfriend, rented a house outside, and occasionally stayed overnight at school.In the dormitory for the two of them, only Sun Li, who is a widow, lives alone.He is not only handsome, but also clean like a girl, and even more diligent than some girls, as can be seen from the well-kept house.

"Li Yan, what do you want from me?" Shen Li brought out some candies and put them on the bedside table, and asked Li Yan to eat them.For the cousin who was sitting on the side, it was completely transparent, and he didn't give in. I don't know if it was too close to the outside world, or he didn't want to see him.

Li Yan was not polite either, she took a piece of toffee and put it in her mouth, trying to adjust the atmosphere and feel more natural and intimate.Then he bent down and opened the pocket at his feet, and asked Shen Li to come. The scissors cut off the tape wrapped around the incubator, and took out a few catties of toads inside: "Teacher, this is from our house." I made some for you to try, and see if you like it or not?"

Shen Li poked his head to look into the bag, and there were guys with fat stomachs and four legs lying on their stomachs: "This is a toad, right?" He had heard of this being produced in County K, and there were students in his class who harvested it in autumn. At that time, he caught a few stewed ones in the field and took them to the dormitory. He had a relationship with that classmate and ate the whole female. The smell of oil seeds is still remembered.

"Well, it's a toad. This species is only available at our house, and I can't find it anywhere else. It's very delicious."

"It's quite expensive, isn't it?" He remembered that the classmate said at the time that a female toad can be sold for more than ten yuan, and now it must be more expensive in winter. There are four or five catties in this bag, and it costs at least seven or eight hundred yuan. Money, worth two or three months of his salary.

Li Yan is very clear why he was surprised. Fresh graduates like Sun Li and the others only have the salary of the class teacher and no class hour income. They only get two or three hundred yuan a month. These are subject to deduction.The school provides accommodation, but does not care about meals, and then deducts some food expenses. In the end, there is not much left in the total expenses.If they weren't short of money, they wouldn't have used their brains to start a small business.

"Teacher, I caught these toads by myself and didn't spend any money. I don't know if you like them or not. Let's eat and see them. If you like them, I'll make them for you."
