Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

In the crowded night market, a large group of people surrounded Yan Xiannian's stall, all of them were bargaining impassionedly.

Yan Xianian sat lazily among the crowd, no matter how people bargained, he would not let go.

The customers were drooling from talking, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and they almost didn't quarrel.

Xia Lunong has never seen such a situation before. He doesn't know how to do business or negotiate prices, so he can only fry bald butter by his side.

The bald butter has been re-fried and served in small jars, and more than 400 jars have been filled.

Through the glass bottle, people can clearly see the crab roe and crab meat inside, which looks clean and oily under the light.

The scent wafted out one after another, making countless people's stomachs growl with hunger, and even the strength to quarrel was reduced by a few points.

After processing the crab roe, Xia Lunong began to make dry crabs in full view.

The freshly washed and chopped crab meat is dipped in batter with eggs, added with green onions, ginger and peppers, and fried in a pan. After the batter is fried until golden, put firewood under the stove and cook over high heat.

The crab pieces in the pot had been cooked to a golden-orange color. Xia Lunong sprinkled a little rice wine in it, and a scent of wine and crab immediately rose up and drifted around.

This delicious and hot smell made everyone around who hadn't had dinner swallow their mouths.

Before Xia Lunong fried the crab, there were still many people who were planning to wait and see. After the crab was fried, many people couldn't bear the aroma, and the crowd was ready to move.

Finally, the first person said, "Five catties of rice are exchanged for one catty of crabs, right? How much does one crab cost? I'll go home and get some rice!"

Yan Xiannian smiled, "Most of them are three or four catties, you come here earlier, and I will pick a little yellower one for you later."

"It's settled!" the man said as he pushed his way out of the crowd, as he was about to go home to get some rice.

Driven by him, many people in the crowd pushed back, saying they wanted to go home to get rice.

Yan Xiannian reminded behind his back, "Not only rice, but rice, wheat, corn, etc., as long as it is food, we will collect it."

"Do you accept the sweet potatoes?"

"Forget about sweet potatoes. I've eaten too many sweet potatoes recently, and it hurts." Yan Xinian rubbed his belly, "I don't accept sweet potatoes for the time being, but you can have some taro and lotus root. You can also change some vermicelli and rice noodles. , let's improve the food."

"Hey, you picked it. Where's the meat? Do you accept the meat?"

Yan Xi Nian said: "Fresh meat is not accepted, bacon is fine, but fresh meat is not easy to preserve. As for live animals, it is easier not to accept dead ones, but to accept solid ones."

A lot of people who didn't intend to buy gathered around to bargain, and everyone chatted without saying a word, just like talking about cross talk, for a while, there was a happy atmosphere all around.

The spicy crab in the Xia Lu Nong pot has been fried.

The four of them held their bowls, doing business while eating.

The people around obviously wanted to try it, many people were embarrassed to ask, but Yan Xiannian only smiled and asked them to buy it themselves.

This is simply a live advertisement, and the people around swallowed another round of saliva.

Xia Lunong had just had a full stomach of snacks, and had eaten crabs for the past two days, so he stuffed the bowl to his brother before eating a few yuan, and started to cook bullfrogs in a dry pot.

The dry pot bullfrog is also a dish with a strong taste.

Saute shallots, ginger, garlic and chili peppers in a hot pan, then pour the bullfrogs into the pan.

The meat of the bullfrog is tender and tender, and when it is poured into the pot, it changes color almost immediately, and the fragrance also wafts out.

The crowd of onlookers had just smelled the scent of crabs, but before they could suppress the slander in their hearts, the scent of bullfrogs came up again.

Many people took a few steps back, wanting to get rid of the fragrance circle completely, but they were really reluctant.

One of them stared at Xia Lunong's movements, and muttered, "It's really lack of virtue."

People around nodded sympathetically, what a shame!

This is a crab and a bullfrog, coming in waves, and it is so fragrant, who can bear it?

"Forget it, I still have a goose at home. I usually go out to collect it. The goose is hungry and thin, so I might as well exchange it for crabs." A person in the crowd muttered and then called Yan Xinian, "Boss, what should I do if I exchange crabs for meat?" ? A catty for a catty?"

Yan Xinian smiled, "I'll take a look at your goose first, if it's okay, I'll exchange a catty for a catty."

"Boss, I will exchange my rooster. Is it the same way to exchange cocks?"

"My family has ducks, can I keep them?"

"Where are the bamboo rats? I raised some bamboo rats, can I use bamboo rats to change the line?"

Yan Xiannian gave the answers one by one, emphasizing to the bamboo rat raiser, "Bamboo rats are also fine, but you have to give me the cage, and you only need to change one. Bamboo rats are not easy to deal with."

The man said happily, "Okay, anyway, I made the cage myself, and I'll give you two days' worth of rat food."

As he said that, the man shouted to the crowd, "You are also welcome to find me to exchange for bamboo rats. It is cheaper than exchanging crabs! If you don't want to trade crabs, you can exchange bamboo rats to satisfy your hunger."

They were talking, and the first group of people had already returned with rice grains.

Yan Xiannian concentrates on starting a business.

Some people traded for crabs and some for bullfrogs. No matter what they traded for, they carefully selected it.

Yan Xiannian didn't mind at all, and sat beside him with a very good temper, taking whichever one the customer asked for until the customer was satisfied.

Those who have picked out the crabs or bullfrogs don't go back. They take the bullfrogs directly to the night market to find familiar restaurants, and ask them to process them, such as steaming, pan-frying, stir-frying, salt-baking... Each restaurant uses [-] kinds of martial arts.

Soon the whole street smells of crabs or bullfrogs.

After people change crabs or bullfrogs, they bring their family members or invite friends, pay a certain processing fee, and the restaurant processes them into dishes, and adds a few dishes, such as cucumbers, preserved eggs in old vinegar, fried peanuts, tomatoes mixed with sugar... and then order wine. , However, sitting at the table, eating meat while drinking, enjoying the cool breeze, eating comfortably.

It is indeed expensive to exchange five catties of rice for one catty of crabs or bullfrogs, but it is not impossible to get it together.

Soon, more and more onlookers brought rice and other things to exchange for crabs and bullfrogs.

Driven by this atmosphere, people who came later even started to grab it.

Xia Lunong's dry pot bullfrog has been prepared, and she eats it quietly with a bowl and chopsticks beside her. The beauty and delicious food have directly become the living sign of this small stall.

There are fewer and fewer crabs and bullfrogs in the truck, and more and more people in front of the stall.

Some people who are really reluctant to exchange twenty or thirty catties of rice for crabs simply exchange ten catties of rice for Xia Lunong's freshly boiled bald butter.

A can of bald butter is about four taels.

Everyone has seen before that the butter is made of good crabs, which are full of crab roe and crab meat.

In this way, you have a bottle and I have a bottle. In the end, more than 400 bottles of bald butter, except for the ten bottles specially reserved for Lao Mo, were all exchanged out.

The materials exchanged for the bald butter alone piled up like a hill.

There are too many people who come to exchange crabs or bullfrogs today.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the truck was already full of the exchanged rice.

They had to put the rice and other supplies on the ground first, and contacted Lao Mo urgently to ask the other party to help them pull back the exchanged supplies and store them properly.

There were many people in front of the stall, Xia Huoqu and the others were all very skilled and sharp-eyed, and many people who wanted to fish in troubled waters were turned away.

In this lively atmosphere, except for the ten bottles of bald butter specially set aside, all crabs, bullfrogs and bald butter were exchanged.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Yan Xiannian and the others were finally ready to close the stall.

Someone who came late held a bag of rice and shouted regretfully, "When will you come over again?"

Yan Xiannian turned his head to look in that person's direction, and smiled: "I won't come, crabs and bullfrogs are not farmed, so I probably won't be able to find a second batch."

The crowd exploded again.

"what?"

"Are these caught in the wild?"

"Ouch, like my skill, I didn't change it this time. I don't know when I want to eat it next time."

Most of the people who were still heartbroken before are now heartbroken and thankful, feeling lucky that they were quick to do it.

There are also people who are really reluctant to buy rice, change crabs or bullfrogs, turn around and regret it, and change out again with a little more price in the crowd.

They didn't care about these Yan Xiannian, they went through the human barrier, drove the truck out, and went back to Lao Mo to count the supplies they got today.

Xia Lunong sat in the truck and kept looking outside.

When the truck was moving, he suddenly smelled the sweet fragrance in the air, his heart moved slightly, and he felt that there was something good in front of him.

The feeling was so subtle that he wasn't even sure what was ahead, only that there was something good.

He leaned over the window to watch, his eyes kept looking into the night market.

Seeing him like this, his brother asked, "What?"

"I don't know, it feels like there's something good there." Xia Lunong pointed at the street and said in a low voice, "It's a strange premonition."

Yan Xiannian stepped on the brakes with great interest, "What is it?"

"I don't know." Xia Lunong said, "It's over there, it doesn't look like a living thing, it's very strange."

Yan Xinian smiled, "There are people coming and going here, maybe someone down here brought something back when they went out to collect."

Xia Huoqu looked at his brother's hand, and only saw a stall selling maltose, "The candy seller? His badge is blue, and he probably doesn't even sell the base much."

Having said that, Xia Huoqu still said: "You guys wait here, I will take Xiao Nong to have a look."

They brought so many supplies, of course it is impossible to go all the way.

Yan Xiannian smiled and waved his hands, "Go with the rice. If you can't find something good, you can change it to some candy and eat it back. I haven't eaten maltose for a long time."
