Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Chen Qi appeared at Dalong Market, another larger food market in the city.

On the road outside the market, he brought out four wooden basins, containing eels, loaches, snails and frogs.

In order to prevent the frogs from running around, I tied it tightly with a fertilizer bag.

The business soon opened, and those in the city stopped when they saw someone selling snails.

"Young man, how do you sell these snails?"

Chen Qi didn't have a scale, so he still used the old method, "Sister, I don't have a scale here either. It's just a bowl anyway, and a bowl must be more than a pound. Just give me 30 cents."

"3 cents? OK."

As soon as I saw that a big bowl full of snails only cost 3 cents, a crowd of people gathered around me. You want a bowl, I want a bowl. Soon the big bowl full of snails will be sold out.

Escargots are large screws with a lot of meat. They are one of the best dishes to go with wine.

Chen Qi saw that everyone was only buying snails, but didn't even look at eels and frogs, and he felt a little anxious:

"Hey, eldest sister, why don't you buy some such thick wild eels? Take it back and fry it in oil, it will be very fragrant."

A middle-aged woman hesitated, shook her head, took the snail and left.

Then Chen Qi shouted several times, but still no one came to buy. Now he was surprised and wondered if people in Yuezhong didn't eat eels and frogs?

Is this market research not done well?

An old man selling vegetables nearby saw Chen Qi in a hurry and couldn't bear it, so he reminded:

"Young man, you can't sell them directly like this. People in the city don't know how to kill eels and frogs, so you can't sell them whole."

When Chen Qi heard this, he knew that the old man had something to say, so he quickly took out a peach and handed it over, asking in a flattering manner:

"Uncle, you look like you have a lot of experience. What do you think I should do to sell this?"

The old man took the peach and was quite satisfied, so he reminded:

"That's not easy. You just yell at whoever buys your eels and frogs, and you help kill them and clean them up, right?"

Chen Qi snapped his fingers: "Uncle, you are so smart."

No wonder, the eels and loaches are slippery and feel quite disgusting to the touch, while the frogs are just frogs and are difficult to catch even if they jump around.

The key is not that it's disgusting, the key is that there are a lot of mysophobic people in the city. If you ask them to kill animals, some of them can't bear it, and some of them are afraid of trouble. No wonder he didn't sell it for a long time.

Once he found the problem, Chen Qi knew what to do.

Killing an eel or a frog is not difficult at all for a surgeon like him.

So Chen Qi dared to shout loudly: "Here, let's sell eels and loaches, as well as fat and tender big frogs, for 8 cents a catty, both killed and shredded."

Sure enough, the shouting immediately attracted some women who came to buy groceries in the morning.

"Young man, can you help me kill the eel? Can you cut it into shreds?"

"Auntie, it's necessary. I'll cut the eel into as fine a piece as you want, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

The old lady immediately squatted down: "This eel is really fat. Come on, bring me some, but you have to cut them into pieces for me."

The vegetable farmer next to him got a peach for nothing, so he took the initiative to weigh it for Chen Qi. Eel is expensive, and if you estimate the weight incorrectly, you will lose a few cents.

The old lady quickly picked out the three thickest eels, and the vegetable farmer said: "Three eels, two pounds, 1 yuan and 60 cents."

Chen Qi already had a scalpel in his hand at this time. There was nothing he could do. He had no other knife. The only one he was good at was the scalpel.

I saw him silently reciting a few words to the scalpel:

"Brother Knife, Brother Knife, don't blame me. I have no choice but to use you to chop vegetables. When I come back, I will wash you clean and disinfect you several times. Amitabha, Amitabha."

After worshiping the God of Swords for a long time, Chen Qi decisively aimed at the eel and slashed the eel a few times with skillful movements.

In less than two minutes, the three eels were dissected cleanly. The bones were bones and the meat was meat.

The old lady was satisfied as soon as she saw it, "Young man, your skills are no worse than those of the chefs. Here, take the money."

There are no plastic bags these days, either a few straws in a bundle and carried away, or you have to prepare a bamboo basket or net bag.

Someone is the first to eat crabs, and the second person will immediately follow.

Stir-fried shredded eel in soy sauce is very famous in "Vietnamese cuisine" and is also a favorite dish among ordinary people. Of course, this dish can only be eaten by city dwellers.

The cooking method requires hot oil for stir-frying, and two ounces of oil may be gone after one dish. Rural people cannot get a few ounces of oil all year round, so who is willing to fry shredded eels.

At the end of the morning, Chen Qi forgot how many times he had added eels and frogs. Anyway, he sold as many as he took out.

The business is so good that the old man selling vegetables next to him is a little doubtful about his life. He is thinking that he will not sell vegetables tomorrow and will catch some eels and frogs to sell in the evening.

Eels, loaches, frogs are all 80 cents per pound, and snails are 30 cents per pound. Chen Qi has already made 80 yuan in one morning, and his cheeks almost hurt from laughing.

This rate of making money is comparable to that of a money printing machine. All workers and cadres are just a cloud.

Just when Chen Qi was shouting happily, he suddenly heard someone calling him:

"Chen Qi? Is that you? What are you doing?"

Chen Qi was confused. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged woman followed by a girl, wearing a floral skirt that was rare in this era, and her big Kazilan eyes were looking at him.

The dress shows that the girl's family conditions are relatively superior. The key is that she is beautiful and a natural beauty without makeup.

But there was an incredible questioning and shock in her eyes.

Chen Qi's brain immediately started to work, and he found the memory in an instant. He knew that this girl was a classmate of the original host's health school.

The original owner was the class monitor, and she was the art committee member. The two class cadres got along day and night, and they were adolescent boys and girls. There was some ambiguity in their lives, and of course they were not in love yet.

Fortunately, Chen Qi is no longer the original owner and has a very thick skin. Otherwise, if he makes a fool of himself in front of the girl he likes, he will have to "die socially".

"Hi, it turns out to be classmate Pan Ye. Why did you come to buy groceries in person?"

Pan Ye rolled his eyes at him, pointed to a few wooden basins on the ground and said:

"I haven't seen you for a month. When did Squad Leader Chen become so glib? By the way, why did you come to the market? Are all these eels and snails yours?"

Chen Qi shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"It's easy to understand. I wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to work and study. Did you see that such a big snail, such a thick eel, and this jumping frog were all caught by me personally. If you want to treat me, you might as well meet by chance.

Come, I'll give you a few to try."
