I entered my eldest brother's house and moved everything directly to the backyard.

Xia Rong heard the noise and got up at this time, "Why did you do it all night? Oh my god, there are so many, you are destroying the blue crab nest."

There was shock on his face at first, and then starting from the corners of his eyes, a smile spread to his entire face.

Zhao Qin couldn't help but laugh. This sister-in-law actually spoke the same words as her cousin.

"You three have been so busy in one night. Oh, if you had known I would have followed you." Xia Rong said, moving stools for them, knowing that they must have squatted all night, and now they would suffer if they squatted and picked.

"Sister-in-law, several of my friends are helping. The three of us alone can't do this." Ah He followed Zhao Qin.

He was so excited that he felt very sleepy. It was obvious at this moment that Zhao Qin and his eldest brother were better in terms of ability to fight continuously.

Zhao Qin took out his cigarette, gave the two of them one, lit it for them, and then said: "Work hard a little longer, and then have a meal and rest after finishing it."

Zhao Ping nodded. Seeing that his wife was about to sit down to help, he quickly stopped her, "Don't be busy first. Check if Peng Laoliu's house is open. Pack a few bowls of noodles and come back. Don't cook breakfast, eat noodles too, and bring some more noodles." It’s a meat bun, Miaomiao can steam a bowl of eggs for her later.”

Normally, Xia Rong would not be willing to spend such money, and it would not be troublesome to cook porridge at home, but seeing so many crabs,

Knowing that the three of them were tired after a night, they turned around and entered the house. After taking the money, they said to the three of them: "Are ten buns enough?"

"That's enough, go ahead."

After the sister-in-law left, the three of them started to get busy. The male crab was pinched directly. The harder the crab cover, the fatter it was. The red female crab was also easy to distinguish, mainly by looking at the position of the navel. The redness was almost gone.

Four baskets were placed in front of them, one for fat blue crabs, one for about the same size, one for red crabs, and one for too thin crabs. These blue crabs are not valuable, so you can share them and eat them when the time comes.

The three of them moved very quickly. It was bright and the light was very good at this time. In about half an hour, the two snakes had already separated the bags and were about to divide the ones in the bucket.

Zhao Qin suddenly remembered something, moved the bucket he had picked up before, picked up one and showed it to Zhao Ping, "Brother, I picked up a lot of yellow ones, both male and female. They shouldn't be red ones. You have a look."

Zhao Ping didn't care at first. When he took it and took a closer look, the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground in excitement, "Butter crab? Yes, it's butter crab. Ah Qin, you are so lucky. This thing is precious."

Xia Rong happened to walk in with a basket and asked hurriedly: "What is expensive?"

"Aqin actually caught a butter crab."

"Not just one, there are about thirty of them, some are big and some are small." Zhao Qin was quite surprised when he heard that it was butter crab. He had heard of this thing before and heard that it was the most expensive one. He didn't expect it. It looks like this.

"Oh, this is a big fortune. How did you get so many." Xia Rong picked up one and took a closer look. Yes, it was a butter crab.

In fact, butter crab was only recognized in the past few years. It used to be regarded as ordinary blue crab, and it was slowly spread from Hong Kong City. As a result, the price was very high as soon as it was spread.

"Be careful, it's too valuable. Don't kill it. Ah Rong, take out the net bag at home. If you pick these out and put them in, you will suffer a big loss if they are crushed to death."

Xia Rong hurriedly entered the house and found three or four net bags in a moment.

Zhao Ping picked them one by one and kept counting. After picking them, he grinned, "There are 31 of them in total. They are estimated to be over 20 kilograms. They are worth a lot of money."

"Brother, don't be happy. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Your face is lumpy."

"Yes, yes, there is still a bucket, hurry up and finish it."

"Okay, you wash your hands and go eat. I'll pick out the remaining bucket."

The three of them did not insist anymore, and they were indeed hungry. After washing their hands, Zhao Ping took three large bowls, put the noodles in the convenience bag into the bowls, and then untied them. Each person shared a bowl.

Afraid that Ah He would be too polite, he placed two big buns next to him and told him not to take them again if there were not enough.

At first, no one was in the mood to talk. After finishing the noodles and eating steamed buns with soup, Zhao Ping asked: "Aqin, we plan to sell it to Lao Lin."

Zhao Qin thought for a while, Lao Lin's product was too dark. It would be fine if he sold a few kilograms to him. Selling him so much would be a bit of a loss.

And even if he keeps it secret, there is no guarantee that the nearby acquisition station will not see it, and the whole village will spread it.

He was about to go to town to sell it, but he heard Ah He say: "Brother, didn't Mr. Ye say that he had good products to contact him last time? He will definitely like this butter crab."

Zhao Qin thought about it and told Ahe, "Can you remember your uncle's phone number?"

"Remember, I'll report it to you."

"Brother, lend me your cell phone." Zhao Ping thought his cell phone was out of battery, so he didn't care and handed his cell phone over. Well, Bird, haha.

Dial the number, "Hello, Mr. Qian, I'm Zhao Qin. I'm disturbing you so early. I want to get Mr. Ye's phone number. Yes, I picked up some goods.

They should go and thank you. If you hadn't sailed the boat that day, others might not have come to save people. It's also your kindness... Mr. Qian, let me check again to see what the current market price of butter crab is. OK, thank you. "

"How much does it cost per pound?" Zhao Ping couldn't help but ask after hanging up the phone.

"He said that if the quality is good, he might be able to reach 167."

Xia Rong happened to come in and heard it, and said in surprise: "The butter crab alone can be sold for more than 3,000 yuan."

"Who knows for sure, just in case someone doesn't want it." Zhao Ping rubbed his hands with a smile on his face, but he was still afraid of being happy too early.

Zhao Qin said he was not in a hurry, so he called Mr. Ye and learned that he had caught the fish at night. The other party immediately said he wanted them all, and the price was 180 yuan per catty, but he wanted Zhao Qin to deliver them to the city. No time to get it.

After hanging up the phone, he called Tu Min again and asked if he was free today.

"Okay, just going to the city and back counts as seventy. When are you leaving?"

"If you are free, come here now."

I hung up the phone again. I wanted to return the phone to my eldest brother, but after thinking about it, I said, "Brother, let me use your phone this morning and return it to you when I get back."

"Just use it."

Zhao Qin came to the backyard again and took a look at the skinny crabs he picked out, which weighed about ten kilograms. "Brother, leave two of these skinny crabs for me, and you can keep the rest to eat. The skinny crabs are so good, okay." Ask my sister-in-law to bring some to her parents’ family.”

After that, he picked out three more butter crabs and put them aside.

"Why did you pick this?" Zhao Ping was anxious. One hundred and eighty pounds, you don't plan to keep this for eating. One crab can buy several chickens.

"There are three in total. Ayuan and Miaomiao each have one. The other one is for Ahe to take back and give him a taste of the milk. Let's forget it. It's too expensive and it makes us feel bad eating it."

"There's no need to keep Ayuan and Miaomiao, there aren't any." Xia Rong said, pointing to the basket of thin crabs.

"Okay, listen to me on this matter. Sister-in-law, don't push it. Brother, you can go to bed. We will settle the accounts when the seller comes back."

"What's the score? I went over to help. You and your friends picked up the crabs, so I was responsible for tying the rope. If you feel sorry for yourself, give me a day's wages."

Zhao Ping was afraid that if he didn't get a cent, his wife would have to complain about it, and he was also afraid that Zhao Qin would be too poor and generous to give him more, so he talked about a day's wages. He paid 80 yuan a day at the dock. In his opinion, he was busy for four or five hours. , these are already quite a few.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."
