Chapter 0008: Small Days

The acne-ridden face was in a panic, with the pimples turning bright red: "Damn, I was just joking earlier. Brother Ao, I was just joking..."

The general stubbornly continued to carry the foam box, stumbling and struggling, yet unwilling to let it go

Integrity, Xiao Wang, isn't it the case that we in the seafood trade rely on integrity?

These crayfish have shiny, hard shells and thick flesh. Ao Mu Yang brushed them twice and suddenly heard the general let out a mournful cry of 'Aowu'.

The Hermès man took a stack of money out of his bag and handed it to him: "Alright, I'll take this one, count it."

Ao Fugui shook his head repeatedly: "Damn, I won't study, it's really delicious, damn it's really delicious..."

Ao Mu Yang prepared some goat milk powder, grabbed two handfuls of dog food, and handed it to the general. The general, like a charging soldier, quickly licked the bowl clean, and then continued to gaze hungrily at the crayfish

His face covered in acne resembled a snake being pinched at its seven inches, and he said with a bitter smile: "Alright, alright, you can take it back to eat. Our crayfish are all wild, free from pesticides, tender and delicious—Is that enough? How many do you need to catch?"

The pockmarked face first protected the lobster, then dryly said: "Brother Ao, let's talk things over, let's talk things over, we are just joking around, haha, it's just a joke between brothers."

He readily accepted the money and said: "Mr. Lu, you are being too polite. What is there to count? Are you someone who would shortchange others?"

Aomu Yang ignored him and only stopped after filling a whole bag

Ao Fugui was taken aback: "What the hell, no way, are you joking?"

Ao Mu Yang sprinkled the finely chopped green cilantro into the dish, then poured out the crayfish and said with a smile: "Try it before you speak."

Those who enjoy watching the commotion do not shy away from trouble, and competitors are often rivals. Upon seeing someone with acne suffer a setback, the other vendors immediately became energized

The general picked up the large foam box and dragged it along behind him

After preparing the crayfish, he added peanut oil to the pan for a quick stir-fry. Once the shells of the crayfish turned slightly red, he added various spices such as scallions, ginger, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, and fennel, and stir-fried them quickly.

"Well, indeed, it's harmless for brothers to joke around." Ao Mu Yang nodded lightly, then he tore open a bag and reached into the fish tank in front of him to grab some small crayfish and tossed them in.

Upon seeing this, Ao Mu Yang made a prompt decision and quickly returned the remaining teething sticks, replacing them entirely with dog food

The pimple-faced person was initially happy, then became anxious: "What are you doing?"

Indeed, I heard you, Xiao Wang. You just said that when someone brings out a large lobster, you would give them yours as well

At this moment, another wok is put to use, where sesame oil is used as the base. After adding scallions, ginger, and garlic, cumin is added, followed by continuous stir-frying. Then, Sichuan pepper powder is added, with constant stirring and the addition of more ingredients.

If it tastes good, just eat it honestly, can you stop cursing

The iron boat docked, and Ao Fugui helped him carry furniture and appliances home. On the way, he looked puzzled and said, "Why did you buy two televisions? Wow, that's quite large"

He loaded the furniture, appliances, and daily necessities onto Ao Fugui's iron boat in one go, saying: "Let's go home, I won't pay you for the boat."

After frying until fragrant, he added a bit of white wine, which was good quality, pure grain liquor, resulting in a subtle yet lasting aroma in the pot

Aomu Yang smiled and gave it a chew stick, which was made from dried beef bones. As a result, the general held the chew stick with its two paws and 'crunched' on it, finishing it off in just a few bites!

Aomu Yang had previously noticed that as he walked along, vendors continuously greeted him as 'General Manager Lu'. From this, he inferred that they were regular customers from the dock market and would not act recklessly with money

Aomu Yang glanced at him and said, "Is it not acceptable for a brother to have a few small crayfish? We are brothers after all"

Alright! Upon hearing that he could drink, Ao Fugui immediately became invigorated

The nearby Ao Fugui's eyes widened: "What the hell, is it really that difficult to deal with a little spicy crayfish?"

Ao Fugui laughed heartily and said, "What money are we brothers talking about?"

Although crayfish are an invasive species, and they indeed originated from the wild, they are a disgrace as an invasive species. If they were not capable of being farmed, they would have been driven to extinction long ago

The general caught a whiff of the aroma of dog food and powdered goat milk, and his eyes instantly widened in surprise

Ao Fugui held a small crayfish in his mouth to protect the basin and mumbled, "You better not waste it, this thing shouldn't be fed to dogs, it's too damn delicious!"

Once he received the money, he left. After all, he had offended the people of Wangjia Village, and being weak on his own, he would not have the advantage if they truly sought to settle accounts with him

The general was driven to distraction, his tongue incessantly licking around his mouth

Aomu Yang said: "Stop the nonsense, it's time to replace that old television of yours. By the way, you lift it yourself, then get some beer, and I'll prepare some snacks. We'll continue drinking tonight"

It has been a long time since such large shrimp have been seen at the dock market, and the onlookers surrounded it in three layers inside and three layers outside, chattering and bustling about.

Ao Mu Yang said sternly: "There is no room for jokes in the marketplace; you should handle it as you see fit"

He first sucked the oil from the shell of the crayfish completely clean, and then peeled the shell to reveal the snow-white and plump shrimp meat

Aomu Yang took down the box and said with a smile, "I don't want it anymore"

The Hermès man laughed heartily: "Haha, you little rascal can talk."

He hurriedly turned around and saw the general's eyes brimming with tears, with a small crayfish hanging from each corner of his mouth

As the shrimp entered his mouth, he sighed, "This is truly delicious; your skill is not to be taken for granted"

Aomu Yang shook his head firmly: "This is not for sale!"

Aomu Yang felt helpless

Another lobster was sold quickly, bringing in 20,000 yuan swiftly

Aomu Yang's pricing is set at 10,000 yuan each: "My price is not excessive; if you buy it from a high-end restaurant, one lobster can be used to prepare a lobster feast, which would cost at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan!"

A vendor said: "What a good dog, are you selling it? I will give you 2,000 yuan"

After twenty minutes, he poured the oil from the frying pan into the adjacent stew pot, simmered it on low heat for a few more minutes before turning off the heat

Keeping the foam box is also useful. After he cleans it with fresh water, he goes to buy daily necessities, and it is just right to use the foam box to carry things.

Goat milk powder is used to supplement the nutrition of the general, who is so thin that only skin and bones remain; relying solely on dog food is insufficient

Xiao Wang, everyone staying here are the bosses, are you really going to act shamelessly?

Next, add the crushed rock sugar powder and continue to stir-fry. Once the heat is appropriate, add dark soy sauce and stir-fry, then add light soy sauce and stir-fry again, followed by adding beer and stir-frying.

How can one show that something is delicious without using profanity? Life is quite enjoyable!

Toiletries, bedding, and simple furniture and appliances; money is not something that can be easily spent, and soon 10,000 yuan was gone.

Stir-fry briefly, then simmer on low heat.

A face covered in acne leaves one with nothing to say, only able to swallow the bitter fruit of their own actions. A bag of small crayfish does not cost much, especially since it is the peak season for their production, which is certainly better than allowing someone to take away the large lobsters.

Still under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, there remains a small table, and the two once again begin to enjoy a light drink in the sea breeze

Aomu Yang smiled and said, "Let me teach you, it's very simple. In fact, the deliciousness of a restaurant's dishes does not rely solely on seasonings; what is important is the cooking time and the combination of ingredients"

While passing by a pet store, Ao Mu Yang went in to buy dog food, dental chews, and goat milk powder. During his time in Kyoto, he had interacted with many pet owners and understood the importance of high-quality dog food for dogs.

The crayfish produced in Wangjia Village is indeed quite good, but to say they are wild is simply nonsense

After tidying up the small crayfish, Ao Mu Yang began selling large crayfish

Aomu Yang said: "The 42-inch one is mine, and the 49-inch one is for your family"
