Chapter 162
Seeing that Fat Miaoer didn't agree, Mrs. Zhang felt a little disappointed, but she had no choice but to wait until the beginning of spring to catch frogs and breed them herself.

Since the beginning of burning charcoal, she and Zhang Laoer have basically taken care of the frogs in the family. They have rich experience and are more than enough to guide the family's breeding.

After more than two hours of busy work, four hundred frogs were dealt with, and Li Xiaodao and Compass also returned from the town.

Mrs. Zhang and Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law refused Fat Miao'er's invitation to stay and eat, and left with the quilt and basket in their arms.

Because she was afraid that the bean sprouts would be frozen by the cold wind, Mrs. Zhang brought them wrapped in a quilt.

After unloading the clay pot, Compass and Li Xiaodao were responsible for fetching water for cleaning.

Wei Shu and Liu Ye are making boiled frog in the kitchen.

Fat Miao sat on the kang with scissors and cut the bought oil paper and straw rope into the required size.

As the sun goes down, all the work is done, and the boiled frogs are packed in wooden barrels, waiting to be canned tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning.

The five people got up early and got busy with their work. It was still the main room, Liu Ye'er and Wei Shu were responsible for filling the cans, Fat Miao'er and Compass sealed, and Li Xiaodao loaded the car.

"It's okay, brother, don't pretend."

Li Xiaodao returned to the main room, just as he was about to reach for the sealed pot, he was stopped by Fat Miaoer.

Now there are boiled frogs in the earthenware pots, and they can only be placed standing, so the loading capacity is greatly reduced.

In addition, the roads are not easy to walk in winter, and the bumps and falls along the way are not worth the loss.

Fat Miao'er has been counting, and now there are a total of eighty cans in the car.

"Brother, let's go to the town to sell first, see the situation, the good ones are sold, and it won't be too late to get the rest." Fat Miao'er stood up, and said to Li Xiaodao and the others.

"Okay!" Li Xiaodao nodded, shook his head again, patted Fat Miao'er's head and said, "It's too cold, don't go."

"You and Ye'er stay at home, Abacus and I, and the nerds just go."

"This..." Fat Miao'er's face wrinkled into a ball, she pondered for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly: "Alright then, my sister and I will stay at home."

"Our little fat cat, how cute!" Li Xiaodao smiled.

Greeting Compass and Wei Shu to drive away together, Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er continued to fill cans.

Qingyang Town.

Compass took out a self-made map from his pocket, and looked at Li Xiaodao and Wei Shu with a smile.

"What is this?" Li Xiaodao asked puzzled.

"Treasure map!" The compass pretended to be mysterious.

"Huh?" Li Xiaodao looked at the compass in surprise.

Compass brought the map in front of Li Xiaodao, and saw that there were criss-crossing lines on it, as well as large circles, small circles, hooks, crosses, etc.

Seeing this, Li Xiaodao frowned even deeper.

"hey-hey!"

Compass narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands.

"This is what I summed up when we sold frogs in autumn. The big circle means that this area sells the most, the cross means that it sells the least, and the tick means that there are big families, and it is possible to buy a lot at one time." Compass danced and gestured.

Hearing this, Li Xiaodao's eyes lit up, he was wondering where to start selling, this is simply a guiding light!

"Abacus, it's really yours. I didn't expect you to have this ability. It's amazing." Li Xiaodao gave a thumbs up, and had to admit that Compass is convenient for doing business. He is indeed talented and better than him.

"I'm listening to you this time, where do you think we should sell it?" Li Xiaodao handed over the control to Luopan.

In this regard, the compass has a lot of eyes.

"Let's go to Xusheng Street first. There are rich people there, and they usually sell the fastest."

Big families don't necessarily buy it, because they don't like it.

But some wealthy people will buy it, trying to taste something new. This is the experience summarized by Luopan.

"okay!"

After receiving instructions, Li Xiaodao drove there.

On Xusheng Street.

Li Xiaodao parked the donkey cart on the side of the street and shouted at the top of his voice, "Boiled meat! Boiled meat!"

"Everyone, come and take a look, the boiled fragrant meat is back!"

really!Following Li Xiaodao's yelling, many people opened their doors and looked around.

"Ma'am, it's me, come and have a look, boiled fragrant meat, delicious boiled fragrant meat."

Compass shouted to a nearby family, they often come to sell, so they are familiar.

Hearing the call of the compass, the aunt lifted her foot and walked over.

"Hey! Young man, it's you, are you here to sell boiled meat?"

"exactly!"

Compass answered with a smile.

"Ma'am, it still tastes like autumn. I remember your grandson likes it the most. Would you like a can?"

Compass picked up a can of boiled frog, opened the seal, and handed it to the woman.

"Smell it, is it the smell of autumn?"

The woman glanced at it and asked, "Or frog meat?"

Fat Miao'er and his team's boiled fragrant meat is made by frogs. It has been spread in the town, and there have been many pirated versions, but they are not as delicious as Fat Miao'er's.

"Of course, if it's fake." Compass patted his chest.

The woman frowned, she didn't believe what the compass said, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that there were no frogs in winter, it was obviously a lie to her.

Seeing the woman's doubts, Compass took out a pair of chopsticks from his pocket, picked up a piece and handed it to the woman.

"Ma'am, try it and see if it's a frog."

The woman was not polite either, she ate it in one bite and chewed slowly.

Although it was cold this time, the fresh, tender and spicy feeling was the same.

Her family eats meat every meal, but her little grandson never forgets the boiled frog, and he will mention it when he has nothing to do.

"Bring me a can."

The woman did not hesitate, and took out ten Wen to buy a jar. She often sells it in autumn and knows the price.

"Ma'am, it's twenty cents a can now." Luo Pan said.

"Twenty Wen, isn't it ten Wen in autumn? Why is it so expensive?"

The woman frowned.

Compass rubbed his hands together, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Ma'am, you also know that this frog can't be caught in winter. We raised it ourselves. It takes time and effort. Of course, the price will increase."

"The increase is too much!" The woman was dissatisfied.

"Ma'am, you don't know the hardships of raising frogs, we..."

Compass complained to the woman.

"Go, go, go."

The woman was tired of talking about the compass and stopped him.

"I'm also your regular customer, it's cheaper, I'll buy two cans."

"This one……"

Compass hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

"Auntie is the first customer. I will open an account. A can is cheaper for one penny. I will charge you 38 pennies."

"Row!"

The woman readily agreed.

Luo Pan handed over two cans of boiled frogs, took the copper coins, and warned: "Don't tell the outside world, we don't bargain about the price of our boiled meat."

"Good! Good! Good!"

The woman agreed, and left with two cans of boiled frogs.

"Good start!"

Luo Pan said, put away the copper plate, and yelled loudly: "Boiled fragrant meat, twenty yuan a can, only one portion in winter, try it!"

As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two. With the confirmation of the woman, people who bought it flocked, and each person bought at least two cans.

Soon, the car was sold out.
