Chapter 62 Growing Bigger and Stronger
Chapter 62 Growing Bigger and Stronger
Before her rebirth, Xia Xiaoxiao's favorite food was crayfish. If a plate of dragon meat and a plate of crayfish were placed together, she might consider which one to eat first.
But if you put crayfish with any other food, then just choose crayfish without thinking!
Xu Qingfan was the biggest victim in this incident because the two of them ate crayfish at a roadside stall and both suffered from food poisoning afterward. As a result, Xia Xiaoxiao never trusted the hygiene of food outside again.
She constantly clamors for Xu Qingfan to cook shrimp for her, and it has to be shrimp heads removed, shrimp veins removed, and cleaned thoroughly.
Xu Qingfan couldn't even remember how many crayfish he had killed before his rebirth; it would have been an astronomical number.
However, on the other hand, if Xia Xiaoxiao hadn't promised to help him rank up his game account, he wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.
Finding a game booster on Taobao would cost several thousand yuan, but treating Xia Xiaoxiao to a crayfish meal would cost less than a hundred yuan. So, he actually made a profit.
You'll never lose out!
...
"Xiaoyu, is that a crayfish in your hand?" Xia Xiaoxiao blinked, mimicking Wan Ning's mannerisms. However, the fake loli was still a fake loli, making Wu Lingyu feel uneasy.
"Hmm... Mom made crayfish."
Xu Qingfan felt sorry for Wu Lingyu when he saw her timid appearance. He reached out and took the bag from her hand, and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.
"Brother Qingfan, is the crayfish a baby crayfish?" Lin Wanning skipped and hopped along behind him.
"No, these are crayfish that don't grow very big. They're delicious, and Xiaoxiao especially loves them!" Xu Qingfan explained.
"Does Brother Qingfan like to eat it?"
"What I like to eat."
"Ningning loves to eat that too!"
Lin Wanning's grandparents smiled broadly upon hearing this. No one in their generation didn't admire a great man. Xu Qingfan's speech on television last night, in modern terms, made them fans.
This was actually his intention, to create an image of a filial, talented, and devoted person who reveres a great man for the audience, and then to gain a huge following among the most affluent consumers in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s.
And he doesn't need to worry about his persona collapsing, because this is who he really is; he just emphasized these three points during the interview.
"Grandpa and Grandma, have you ever eaten crayfish?" Xu Qingfan opened a box of crayfish without any broth. This box must have been braised; it still smelled delicious even after it had cooled down.
"Of course he's eaten it! Grandpa's eaten everything. Crayfish tastes really good; he especially loves it!"
Grandpa Lin was just bragging without thinking. Crayfish have only become rampant in Guangdong in recent years, and everyone treats them the same as golden apple snails, chopping them up and feeding them to ducks.
Large-scale aquaculture in the province didn't begin until after 09.
Xia Xiaoxiao remained silent, only picking up crayfish, peeling them, and stuffing them into her mouth repeatedly.
Xu Qingfan fed the first peeled crayfish to Wan Ning, who then exclaimed excitedly, "Qingfan-gege, it's delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"
Under Xia Xiaoxiao and Lin Wanning's encouragement, the grandparents quickly tried it too and found it to be quite delicious, with a lot of flavor when chewed.
"It's delicious! Is this called crayfish? I've never had it before."
"Grandma, you're right. This is called crayfish, and it's very popular online. A while ago, during the World Cup, I saw many people online eating crayfish while watching the game!"
Xu Qingfan wasn't lying; the popularity of eating crayfish in China started in 2006.
This is actually a great business opportunity. If we could get my grandfather and uncle to stop raising fish and start raising crayfish instead.
With the buzz from last night, their food stall will definitely have no shortage of customers for a while, which will be a good time to promote their late-night crayfish.
"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle, Godmother, come down and eat crayfish with us! The crayfish Xiaoyu brought are especially delicious!"
Xu Qingfan's loud shout quickly brought everyone on the rooftop and in the kitchen over.
The two large boxes of crayfish that Wu Lingyu brought were quickly devoured by the group of people. Each person ate less than five crayfish, with Xia Xiaoxiao eating the most.
"This stuff grows in the fields. I used to catch it and cook it, but it had a fishy smell, so I chopped it up and fed it to the ducks. I never thought it would taste so good when prepared differently!" Yao Shulun licked her lips, savoring the taste. This stuff paired with baijiu (Chinese liquor) is definitely a top-notch enjoyment.
"Xiaoyu brought it from home, and Xiaoyu's mother cooked it!" Xu Qingfan pushed Wu Lingyu forward.
Seeing that everyone loved the crayfish she brought, Xiaoyu's initial anxiety gradually subsided. However, after being pushed by Xiaofan, her heart started pounding again.
"Um..." She didn't know what to say, so she just nodded shyly.
"Xiaoyu's mother is a really good cook." Yao Jinping pinched Xiaoyu's cheek. She found the shy little girl quite pleasing to the eye.
"Thank you, Auntie..." Wu Lingyu looked up at Xiao Fan's mother. Xiao Fan's mother had such a gentle smile. Everyone was so gentle, unlike the people in the village.
"Mom and Dad, I have an idea. We can sell crayfish for late-night snacks. We can invite Xiaoyu's mom to join us in making it a big business. And if business is good, Grandpa and Uncle can stop raising fish and switch to raising crayfish!"
"To grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"
"To grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"
The next sentence was shouted by Lin Wanning in a soft and cute voice, which made everyone in the room laugh.
"If Xiaoyu's mom weren't so busy, it would be great. I think crayfish would sell very well. It's a pity I didn't see it during the World Cup."
Based on her intuition from years of selling late-night snacks, Yao Jinping felt that crayfish would replace stir-fried snails as the new top choice for late-night food stalls!
"Then we'll be going to patronize their business then, Xiao Fan's mom, remember to save some for us!" Grandma Lin joked.
"Grandma, just call me A-Ping. I'll definitely invite everyone to eat then. What do you think, Xiao-Yu?" Yao Jinping patted Wu Ling-Yu's head, though she wasn't really asking for her opinion.
"Ah... I, I'll give my mom's phone number to my aunt..." Although Wu Lingyu is young, she still has a simple sense of judgment. She thinks that her mother can earn more money selling crayfish for late-night snacks than "sewing" clothes at home.
But she was afraid, afraid that her mother would be too tired.
After much hesitation, she decided to give her mother's phone number to her aunt. If her mother was too tired, Xiaoyu and her grandmother could help out!
"Okay, Xiaoyu, go call your mom first. You'll have lunch at your aunt's!"
"Um!"
Wu Lingyu's answer was very straightforward. She also wanted to call her mother immediately to tell her that everyone loves to eat crayfish, so that her mother wouldn't worry.
At the same time, she felt ashamed of her thoughts that night.
