I grabbed a shrimp claw, bit it open in one bite, sucked in the meat inside, and ate it with the sauce. It tasted very good, but I felt a little distressed when eating it.

"Lobsters are everywhere. In the fields and rivers, it's becoming a disaster. Who wants to sell them? It's worthless. It only costs one or two yuan a pound." Su Changmin sipped his wine and bit into the shrimp with his claws.

Crunchy, "If you keep those lobsters, you can still eat two meals."

Su Xing peeled off a shrimp tail, dipped it on the bottom of the plate, and put it in Su Ran's bowl: "I'm going to take today's lobster to the town to sell it tomorrow, and I'll catch it later and eat it later."

"Just like your mother, she's obsessed with money. How much money can she make from this?" Su Changmin picked the shrimp shells between his teeth with his nails, "I'm full of whims all day long."

Early the next morning, I woke up at dawn and weighed the lobster at home. It weighed twelve kilograms and seven taels. After excluding the two snakeskin bags and there was still some water, twelve kilograms was no problem.

After finding a wooden stick and sealing the snakeskin bag, Su Xing carried it out the door and headed for the town.

The walk was not difficult, but it was hard to carry things. A lobster weighing six pounds on one side was not heavy, but it took a lot of effort to swing it around.

At five or six o'clock, there are already many people in the town, and there are small vendors selling lobsters at the entrance of the town.

A steelyard, two bamboo baskets, a few nylon mesh bags, and no need for a store. I stood at the intersection and looked at the passers-by.

"Is that lobster in your bag?" A vendor with sharp eyes saw Su Xing and ran to Su Xing from a distance, "I'll take it."

The vendor said as he helped Su Xing unload the bag.

"No hurry, how much does it cost per pound?" Su Xing held the bag and didn't let him unload it, asking the price first.

"I have to see it first before I know the price." The vendor said, "Don't worry, I've been collecting things for five or six years, so I won't cheat you."

Su Xing put down the snakeskin bag, loosened a mouth of the bag and showed it to him: "Look, I just caught it yesterday. It's alive and kicking, there are no dead shrimps, and it's big."

The vendor shook the snakeskin bag and immediately gave the price: "One dollar and six, okay?"

Su Xing shook his head: "I'll ask again."

There were already a few vendors nearby, waiting for this moment.

"One dollar and eighty, the highest price. You still have a few green-skinned shrimps here. I won't pick them. Don't bother me. I'll weigh them for you and pay you immediately." The merchant added two cents.

Su Xing didn't agree immediately, but he didn't leave either: "Two yuan, two yuan a pound, I'll sell it to you."

"You are asking for an arbitrary price. I can't sell it at this price, so how can I make money?" The merchant disagreed.

The vendors surrounding him also laughed.

"Okay, one yuan and eighty, just one yuan and eighty." Su Xing has almost figured out the market price. The price of one yuan and eighty per kilogram is the limit that the merchant can accept.

The vendor skillfully lifted up the snakeskin bag, tilting the scale beam slightly: "Twelve and a half kilograms, look at it. I'm not cheating, it's real."

"Okay, that's it." It wasn't too far off, so Su Xing accepted it.

"Do you still want these two snakeskin bags?" the vendor asked Su Xing.

"Yes." Su Xing nodded.

"The weight of the two snakeskin bags also needs to be deducted." The vendor immediately became fussy and said while pouring lobster into the nylon mesh bag.

"How much does this weigh? It's more than twelve and a half kilograms. It's a good price. Don't hold back. I'll sell you the lobster next time." Su Xing said.

The vendor hesitated for a while and then nodded: "Okay, remember to come back to me next time and I won't take the weight off your snakeskin bag."

Twelve and a half kilograms, one pound and eighty yuan, totaling twenty-two and a half yuan.

A roll of snakeskin bag was hung on a wooden stick. Su Xing took the money and walked around the town.

Compared with more than ten years later, the town was still very shabby at this time, with not many shops and very few types. But in Su Xing's eyes, these were all business opportunities, waiting for him to explore, and Su Xing was excited about shopping.

He was more foresight than others, which meant that there were business opportunities everywhere. What Su Xing saw was not the town, but supermarkets, breakfast shops, electrical appliance stores that would open in the future...

It's all money!

I found a fishing gear shop in a small alley behind the town. Su Xing bought thirty-five white mesh bags for five yuan. It originally cost two cents each. Su Xing said it cost five yuan and thirty-five, so he spent another thirteen yuan.

I bought some wire with the money.

"Boss, can you give me some of those foams?" Su Xing pointed to some waste foam in the store.

"Just take it if you want, there's no use keeping that thing." The boss looked up and continued to knit the eel trap in his hand.

There was still four yuan and five cents left. Su Xing passed by a meat stall and bought a large piece of pig lung for three yuan. This was something that few people ate, so it was almost half buy and half free.

I went to the grocery store and bought an ice cream and four popsicles. I was worried that the ice cream and popsicles would melt, so I walked very quickly when I woke up, almost running all the way back.

"Brother." Su Ran was sitting on the small slope behind the house. When he saw Su Xing come back, he immediately ran over and threw away the small wooden stick in his hand to poke the ants.

"Eat quickly, it's melted." Su Xing handed the ice cream in his hand to Su Ran.

Su Ran happily took the ice cream: "Brother, let me help you get something."

"No, you eat the ice cream." Su Xing refused because the snakeskin bag was too dirty.

After returning to the house, Su Ran showed off the ice cream: "Mom, brother bought me ice cream."

"I saved the money from selling the lobsters and spent it randomly." Wang Chunlan felt distressed.

"It's okay." Su Xing handed the popsicle in his hand to Wang Chunlan, "Here's the popsicle, eat it quickly, it's about to melt."

Su Xing found a vise and dug out a pile of thin white thread pulled from the fertilizer bag seal in the corner of the kitchen. This thread was stronger and easier to use than wool. He moved a small stool and sat down, making a circle with the wire.

Cut it off with a vise, fold the broken ends back a little and fasten them together to make a round iron hoop.

"Brother, take a bite." Su Ran came over and handed the ice cream to Su Xing's mouth.

"I won't eat it, you eat it." Su Xing shook his head, put the iron hoop he had just made in his hand into the bottom of the white mesh bag, fixed it with a thread, and put another iron hoop on the top of the white mesh bag, and tied it to the net with the same thread.

Fasten the bag tightly.

"You go ahead and take a bite." Su Ran insisted that Su Xing take a bite of the ice cream.

Su Xing couldn't resist, so he took a bite and said, "Yeah, it's delicious. Eat it quickly and I'll do the work."

Su Ran squatted happily next to Su Xing, watching Su Xing busy at work, taking a bite of the ice cream, not dissatisfied with Su Xing's saliva.

Tie three long ropes to the iron hoop, tie the tails together and tie them to a piece of foam, then tie a length of thread at the bottom of the white mesh bag, leaving it for tying pig lungs, and it's done.

In one morning, Su Xing worked for twenty-three periods. After lunch, he cut the pig lungs into pieces, stuffed them all into a snakeskin bag, picked up a long bamboo pole and walked to the river.

Su Ran followed behind with a kettle on her back and a small bench.

"Go slowly, your hat has fallen off." Su Xing looked back and saw that Su Ran's hat was blown off by the wind and hung on her back.

When he arrived at the river, Su Xing tied pieces of pig lungs to the bottom of the baskets, and placed all twenty-three baskets along the river, two or three meters apart.
