Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 259 Hairy Crabs

The first time I entered a stranger, the manor did not change much. The second time Wang Zhixing entered, there was an additional mountain; the third time there were more students, with three additional mountains and a pasture; Since last time, how will it change? !

Meng Zhen and Wang Zhixing were like children who were about to open a mysterious gift. They rushed home full of joy and waited all night under the pressure of excitement. The next morning, Wang Zhixing didn't even have time to eat, so he ran up the mountain and closed the house. Open the door and enter the manor with Meng Zhen.

I saw that the area of ​​the manor has expanded again, not as obvious as last time; there are still five mountains, no more increase; but these are not the point, the point is that there is a clear lake on the side of the grassland, with an area of ​​eight or nine Mu looks like.

"Lake? My God, fields, rivers, seas, mountains, grasslands, and now there is another lake. It's a shrunken version of the world!"

The excitement in Meng Zhenzhen's heart could not be expressed in words, she ran and jumped to the lake.The lake water is crystal clear, and there are clumps of aquatic plants floating in the water, and groups of small fish are chasing among the aquatic plants.

Looking at the clear and rippling lake water, she couldn't help stretching her hands into the lake. It was cool, and the fish in the water seemed not afraid of people, and they clung to her hands one after another and sucked them, making her hands itchy, but It's very comfortable, like a fish spa in a hot spring.

"Hehe, it's amazing!"

Wang Zhixing also followed, basically he didn't have other adjectives to express it.Recently, by chance, he entered Meng Zhen's manor and saw a space that could not exist in reality.Everything that happened in front of him was so unreal, but he experienced it himself, so he couldn't tolerate disbelief.

"Well, it's really miraculous. The manor has given me too many miracles," Meng Zhen sat by the lake contentedly, hugging his knees and quietly watching the slightly swaying lake surface.

"It's such a big lake. I don't think there are many fish in it." Wang Zhixing also squatted on the side. The lake water is so clear that he can almost see the shrimps crawling in the shallow water at the bottom of the lake. Instead of cattle and sheep, aquatic products can also be raised in the lake.”

"Aquatic products?! Well, yes, the area of ​​the lotus pond is very small, only a few fish can be stocked, and many aquatic products cannot be farmed."

When Meng Zhen was buying fry, Brother Song from the fish pond suggested that she raise some eels, river mussels, and river prawns, which do not occupy much land and are of great economic value.However, at that time, on the one hand, she was short on cash and had no spare money to buy other fish; on the other hand, the area of ​​the lotus pond was too small, and the depth of digging was not enough at that time, so it was impossible to breed in different layers as he suggested. .

Now, I have a lake ten times larger than the lotus pond, so I can definitely develop freshwater aquaculture: "There are carp and other lotus ponds, so why not raise some mandarin fish, catfish, and rice field eels, yes, and some lobsters as well." What do you say?"

"It's fine, actually, you can also try to raise hairy crabs!"

Wang Zhixing also tried the water of the lake with his hands like Meng Zhen, then took off his shoes and put his feet in it.After a while, a group of small fish came around, attached to his feet, wriggling up and down.

"Hairy crabs?!"

Among all the aquatic products, Meng Zhen dislikes crabs the least. This also originated from her very failed experience of eating crabs.

At that time, I was still in middle school, and that year was also the Mid-Autumn Festival. Aunt Meng’s unit gave out a lot of benefits. She seemed to give a basket of crabs to Meng Zhen’s family as a treasure. She said it was the most famous hairy crab. Selling, how good is a big car.

Father Meng didn't think too much, seeing that the opened crab basket was full of crabs tied with straw ropes, they were very big, one was the size of a small noodle bowl, so he thanked his sister for her gift .

On the same day, my father steamed the crabs according to the method taught by my aunt, and then prepared ginger, vinegar and soy sauce. When the crabs came out of the pot, he invited Meng Zhen and his seriously ill wife to eat delicious food.It was indeed delicious, so salty that Meng Zhen drank a pot of tea.Meng's mother also frowned and reluctantly ate one. Meng's father thought that the two of them were not used to eating, so he took one and tasted it himself. Before one leg was finished, he held a cup of ginger tea and drank it. .

The remaining half of the basket also went into the trash can. At that time, Meng Zhen suddenly understood why the crab basket was unsealed.Since then, Meng Zhen has kept crabs at arm's length.Although my father repeatedly said that there was a problem with the method at that time, maybe the crab was not eaten that way, but no matter what my father and Chen Xue said, she never ate crabs in restaurants.

"That's right, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Many people buy hairy crabs online, and our company sends a lot of them every day. There are hairy crabs from Chengyang Lake, and blue crabs from Qinghu Lake. There are many types and the prices are very expensive." Yes." Wang Zhixing recalled the hairy crabs he ate at the restaurant last time, and he still had an aftertaste on his face, "The hairy crabs are the best, they taste so fresh!"

"Is it really that delicious?"

As soon as Meng Zhen mentioned crabs, there was a lot of liquid in his mouth, and a salty feeling filled his mouth immediately.

"En, it's delicious!" Wang Zhixing nodded, "However, it must be authentic, and there are a lot of fake crabs now. The condition of the manor is good, and the water quality is even better. The hairy crabs raised must be even better!"

"Okay, let's buy some crab seedlings first!"

Seeing that he spoke so well, Meng Zhen was also a little tempted.Then try raising a little bit first, and invite Master Zhao to cook when the time comes.

The next day, Meng Zhen, who had rested for half a day, came to Song Village to see Sannier with Sannier's family, and happened to be able to visit Big Brother Song's fish pond.

Sannier was very grateful when she saw Meng Zhen. She knew the magic of Guanyin fruit, but in order not to let herself down too much, she didn't dare to have too much hope at first.Unexpectedly, the miracle came so quickly that she couldn't believe it for a while.

"Okay, don't wipe your tears." Meng Zhen patted her hand and advised, "You still cry, you want to give birth to a little bag of tears!"

"Fuck you, it's not okay to let people vent!"

After Sannier's divorce, she once despaired of her own life, and wanted to end her life more than once.Meng Zhen's initial trust gave her a job, and because of this job, she got to know Song Hai.When she was kicked out by her husband's family in disguise, she never dreamed that in just one year, she would be able to have a happy family again and have children.

"Tch, find Song Hai if you want to vent, I just bought this dress, don't wipe your nose!"

Meng Zhen took out a wet towel and gently wiped away her tears.

"..." Sannier grabbed the tissue and wiped her face, "Really, you think I cry when I see everyone!"

After sitting at Sannier's house, Meng Zhen saw that Aunt Meng seemed to have something to say to her daughter, so she left the Song family.Finding a corner, Meng Zhen took out a gift for Mrs. Song from the manor, and then came to their fish pond.

"Oh, it's Meng Zhen, oh, it's been a long time!" Meng Zhen thought that he would not see the old lady in the fish pond, but he didn't expect their family to watch by the fish pond with sad faces. When the old lady Song saw Meng Zhen coming over, she hurriedly Squeeze out a smile and greet her.

"Hehe, Auntie, long time no see, how are you?"

Meng Zhen put the things on the table beside him, and walked a few steps to the old man.

"Okay, look at your child, come here, and bring anything!" The old lady liked Meng Zhen very much. Although she became rich later and stopped selling vegetables in the vegetable market, she still often had people bring vegetables to her. What a nostalgic good boy.

"It's all grown by myself, it's not worth anything," Meng Zhen saw that she smiled reluctantly, and asked concerned: "Auntie, what happened?"

"Oh," Mrs. Song looked at the fish pond, and then La Mengzhen sat down, "It's not because of the crabs."

"Crab?!"

"That's right, when May Day passed this year, my son heard from a colleague that he could breed large crabs from the mouth of the Yellow River, and the benefits were very high. My son went to the market to investigate and found that the price of crabs was quite high, so he thought Seeing that the business in the fish pond is not very good, I tried to open up a place to raise crabs. So, I brought in more than 500 crab seedlings, and they were fine for the first two months. Unexpectedly, since last week, half-sized crabs The crabs start to get sick."

"Oh, that's right. How's the situation?"

The old lady shook her head with a wry smile, "There are more than 500 crab seedlings, and now there are more than 200 left. The [-] probably won't last for a few days!"

"Can I go take a look?"

Meng Zhen's heart was moved. Didn't he talk about raising hairy crabs yesterday? There was a problem with the crab seedlings in Brother Song's house. It was probably due to the water quality and aquatic plants. It should be able to recover after being put in the manor.

"Hey, let's go and have a look!"

The old lady knew that Meng Zhen was not a person who liked to watch the excitement, so she must have a reason for wanting to watch.

Meng Zhen followed the old lady to the fish pond. In order to raise crabs, Brother Song specially opened a paddy field of [-] to [-] square meters beside the fish pond. According to the requirements for raising crabs, the water in the pond is about three meters deep. to the little crab below.

"Brother Song, do you sell this little crab?"

Meng Zhen took a look and found that there was indeed something wrong with the small crabs in the water, and she was a little unsure whether putting them in the manor could save them.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Do you want to buy it?"

Brother Song was squatting by the pool and was smoking when he suddenly heard Meng Zhen's voice and hurriedly stood up.

"Well, I was looking for you to buy fish fry today. I saw that your little crab is not too small, so I wanted to buy some!"

"Oh, Meng Zhen, these crabs have problems and cannot be sold!"

"I know, hehe, I happen to have never raised one before, so I will try my hand with you problematic ones."

"Here," Boss Song groaned when he saw that Meng Zhen's attitude was quite persistent, "Meng Zhen, I'm in business, if you want to buy it, I will definitely sell it to you, but I remind you, these crabs You ship it home, maybe tomorrow..."

"Brother Song, I know, tell me a price!"

"We are also old acquaintances. I don't know why you bought it, but since you decide to buy it, just give 300 yuan." He bought these crab seedlings for 400 yuan a catty, and a catty is fifty , and now there are two hundred left, which is basically the price of disposal of waste products.

"Okay, then I'll ship it back now?!"

Meng Zhen directly took out 300 yuan from her pocket and handed it to him. After Wang Zhixing suggested raising crabs yesterday, she checked the price on the Internet. Basically, the crab seedlings of hairy crabs are 300-800 yuan per catty, but the size varies from one catty to another. The number is also different.Brother Song still has more than 200 of them here, and they seem to be about one or two in size. Even if twenty of them are saved, she will not lose money.

After returning from Song Village, Meng Zhen put the small crabs into the enclosed shallow lake area. In order to ensure the survival rate of these crabs, she picked some Guanyin fruits and squeezed some juice into them.

"Well, that's all right, I'll see you again tomorrow!"

Second watch, ask for tickets!
