Chapter 14: Encountering a classmate in the vegetable market
Early the next morning, when the sky was still dark, Chen Qi appeared in another large vegetable market in the city, Dalong Market.
On the road outside the market, he brought out four wooden pots, which contained yellow eels, loaches, snails, and pheasants.
In order to be afraid of the chickens running around, they also tied it tightly with a fertilizer bag.
The business soon opened, and the people in the city stopped when they saw that there were snails sold.
"Young man, how do you sell this snail?"
Chen Qi didn't have a scale, it was still the old way, "Sister, I don't have a scale here, anyway, it's just a bowl, a bowl must be more than a catty, you just give 3 dimes." ”
"3 Mao? Yes. ”
I saw that a big bowl of snails was only 3 cents, and all of a sudden a group of people came around, you want a bowl, I want a bowl, and soon a big pot of snails will be sold out.
The snail, which is a large screw, still has a lot of meat, and it is one of the best snacks to accompany the snack.
Chen Qi saw that everyone only bought snails, but they didn't look at yellow eels and field chickens, and he was a little anxious:
"Hey, eldest sister, why don't you buy such a thick wild yellow eel? You take it back and fry it in oil, it's very fragrant. ”
A middle-aged woman hesitated, shook her head, took the snail and left.
Then Chen Qi shouted a few more times, but still no one came to buy it, so he wondered, wondering if the people in Yuezhong didn't eat yellow eels and field chickens?
Didn't do this market research well?
An uncle who was selling vegetables next to him saw Chen Qi's anxious appearance, and he couldn't bear it, so he reminded:
"Young man, you can't sell it directly, people in the city won't kill yellow eels and field chickens, so you can't sell the whole one."
When Chen Qi heard this, he knew that this old man had a score, so he quickly took out a peach and handed it over, and asked flatteringly:
"Uncle, look at you are a person with a lot of experience, how do you think I should sell this?"
The old man took the peach, and was quite satisfied, so he reminded:
"That's not simple, you just shout, who buys your yellow eel and field chicken, you can help kill and clean up?"
Chen Qi snapped his fingers: "Uncle, you are too smart." ”
It's no wonder that the yellow eel and loach are slippery and disgusting to the touch, while the field chicken is a frog, and it's not easy to catch it when jumping around.
The key is not disgusting, the key is that there are more or less little cleanliness habits in the city, you let them kill, some are unbearable, some are afraid of trouble, no wonder he didn't sell it for a long time.
After finding the problem, Chen Qi knew what to do.
Killing a yellow eel and slaughtering a field chicken is not difficult for a surgeon like him at all.
So Chen Qi dared to shout loudly: "Come, sell yellow eel loaches, and fat and tender field chickens, 8 dimes a catty, and kill and shredd." ”
Sure enough, the shouting immediately attracted some of the women who came to buy groceries in the morning.
"Young man, can you help kill the eel? Can you cut it into eel shreds? ”
"Auntie, that's a must, how thin the eel silk you want to cut, I will cut it for you, and I promise to satisfy you."
The old lady immediately squatted down: "This yellow eel is really fat, come on, bring me a few, but you have to help me cut it into pieces." ”
The vegetable farmer next to him took the initiative to help Chen Qi weigh the weight because he got a peach for nothing, and the price of yellow eel was expensive, and if he misestimated the amount of catties, it was a loss of a few dimes.
The old lady quickly picked the thickest three yellow eels, and the vegetable farmer said: "Three, two catties, 1 yuan and 6 cents." ”
Chen Qi was already holding a scalpel in his hand at this time, there was no way, he didn't have any other knives, the only thing he was best at was a scalpel.
I saw him silently reciting a few words to the scalpel:
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, don't blame me, I have no choice but to take you to chop vegetables, and when I get back, I will definitely wash you clean and eliminate the poison a few times." Amitabha, Amitabha. ”
After worshipping the sword god for a long time, Chen Qi decisively aimed at the yellow eel is a few knives, the knife saw blood, and the movements were skillful.
In less than two minutes, the three yellow eels were dissected, the bones were returned to the bones, and the flesh was returned to the flesh, which was clean.
The old lady was satisfied when she saw it, "Young man, your skills are no worse than those chefs, give it, take the money." ”
In these days, there are no plastic bags, either a few straw bundles to carry and leave, or you have to prepare your own bamboo basket or net bag.
Someone is the first to eat the crab, and immediately a second person follows.
Fried eel shreds in sauce, this is very famous in "Yue Cai", and it is also a dish that the people like more, of course, this dish is only eaten by people in the city.
It is the burning method that needs hot oil to stir-fry, and a dish may be gone with two taels of oil, and rural people can't get a few taels of oil all year round, who is willing to fry eel.
At the end of the morning, Chen Qi also forgot how many times he had added yellow eel field chicken, and sold as much as he took out anyway.
The business is so good that the old man who sells vegetables next to him is a little suspicious of life, and what he thinks is that he will not sell vegetables tomorrow, and he will go to catch some yellow eel field chickens to sell at night.
Yellow eel loach and field chicken are all 8 jiao per catty, and 3 jiao per catty of snails, Chen Qi has already earned 80 yuan in one morning, and his cheeks are so happy that he is going to laugh painfully.
This money-making speed is comparable to that of a money printing machine, and any worker, any cadre, it is all floating clouds.
Just when Chen Qimei was shouting, he suddenly heard someone shouting to himself:
"Chen Qi? Is that you? What are you doing? ”
Chen Qi was inexplicable, and 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 eyes flickered at him.
From the dress, it shows that the girl's family conditions are still relatively superior, and the key is that she is also beautiful and a natural beauty without makeup.
It's just that there is an incredible doubt and shock in her eyes.
Chen Qi's brain immediately started, and he found his memory in an instant, daring to love this girl was a classmate of the original master of the health school.
The original owner is the squad leader, she is the literary and artistic committee, the two class cadres get along day and night, and they are adolescent boys and girls, and there is some ambiguity everywhere, of course, the love is not full.
Fortunately, the current Chen Qi is no longer the original owner, and he is super thick-skinned, otherwise he would have to "die socially" if he made a fool of himself in front of the girl he liked.
"Hey, it turned out to be Pan Ye, why did your old man come to buy vegetables in person?"
Pan Ye glanced 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 flamboyant, by the way, what are you doing in the vegetable market? Are these eel snails yours? ”
Chen Qi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:
"It's very understandable, I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to come to work-study, do you see, such a big snail, such a thick yellow eel, and this bouncing field chicken, I caught it myself, I want to invite you to meet by chance, come, I'll send you a few back to try it."
The middle-aged woman next to Pan Ye frowned, "Xiao Ye, who is this?" ”
