How much do snail porters earn in Liuzhou, Guangxi?

On March 16, Wei Jincheng, who has been engaged in snail catching 10, walked into the thigh-deep river to salvage snails in Jiuqu River near Xintian Village, Labao Town, Liujiang District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, wearing one-piece rain pants and holding a fishing net. When he picked up a foam box full of snails, he sent them to the shore to clean and screen for his wife. The couple can catch nearly 300 kilograms of snails every day, sell them to vendors selling snails, and make soup with snail powder. Current price per catty 1. 1 yuan.

Snails caught will be mixed with leaves and branches, and Wei Jincheng will simply clean them up. Liuzhou snail powder, known as "online celebrity snack", has a daily sales volume of 800,000 bags of prepackaged snails, and the demand for snails is increasing. The local snail "porters" can't meet the demand and need to "ask for help" from Hunan and Hubei.

When a foam box is full, Wei Jincheng will send it to the shore to clean and screen his wife. Snails come in different sizes. After screening, small snails can return to the river to continue to grow. Two hours later, the husband and wife caught 100 kilograms of snails, and Wei Jincheng carried them home.
