  Chapter 14 Encounter a classmate in the vegetable market

  Early in the morning of the next day, before dawn, Chen Qi appeared at another large vegetable market in the city, the Dalong Market.

   On the road outside the market, he brought out 4 wooden basins, which contained eels, loaches, snails and frogs.

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

  Business opened soon, and those city people stopped when they saw a seller of snails.

   "Young man, how do you sell this snail?"

  Chen Qi doesn't have a scale, so he still uses the old method, "Sister, I don't have a scale, anyway, it's just a bowl, and a bowl must be more than a catty, just give me 30 cents."

   "Three cents? OK."

   Seeing that a large bowl of snails only costs 30 cents, a group of people immediately gathered around, you want a bowl, I want a bowl, and soon the large bowl full of snails will be sold out.

  Escargot is a large snail with a lot of meat. It is one of the best appetizers.

  Chen Qi saw that everyone only bought snails, but didn't even look at rice field eels and frogs, and felt a little anxious:

   "Hey, big sister, don't you want to buy such a thick wild eel? Take it back and fry it in oil, it's very fragrant."

  A middle-aged woman hesitated for a while, but still shook her head, took the snail and left.

   Then Chen Qi yelled a few more times, but still no one came to buy it. Now he was surprised, wondering if people in Yuezhong don't eat rice field eels and frogs?

   The market research is not done well?

   An old man selling green vegetables next to him saw Chen Qi's anxious look, and couldn't bear it, so he reminded:

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

  As soon as Chen Qi heard this, he knew that the old man was worthy, so he quickly took out a peach and handed it over, asking flatteringly:

   "Uncle, you are a person with rich experience, how should I sell this?"

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

   "That's not easy, you just yell, whoever buys your eels and frogs, you help kill and clean up, okay?"

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

   No wonder, the eels and loach are slippery and disgusting to the touch, and the frog is a frog, jumping around and catching them is not easy to catch.

  The point is not disgusting, the point is that there are a little bit of cleanliness in the city. If you ask them to kill, some can't bear it, and some are afraid of trouble. No wonder he hasn't sold it for a long time.

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

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

  So Chen Qi dared to yell loudly: "Come here, sell rice field eel and loach, as well as fat and tender big frogs, 8 cents a catty, including killing and shredding."

   Sure enough, the yelling immediately attracted some women who came to buy vegetables in the morning.

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

   "Auntie, it is necessary. I will cut the eel as thin as you want, and I will make sure you are satisfied."

  The old lady squatted down immediately: "This eel is really fat, come on, give me some, but you have to cut it up for me."

  Because the vegetable farmer next to him got a peach for nothing, he took the initiative to help Chen Qi weigh it. The eel is expensive, and if he miscalculated the weight, it would be a loss of a few cents.

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

  Chen Qi was already holding a scalpel in his hand at this time.

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

   "Brother Dao, brother Dao, don't blame me. I have no choice but to use you to chop vegetables. I will wash you clean and disinfect you several times later. Amitabha, Amitabha."

  After worshiping the sword **** for a long time, Chen Qi pointed decisively at the eel and swiped a few times, the knife saw blood, and his movements were skillful.

   In less than two minutes, the three eels were dissected, bones to bones, meat to meat, clean.

  The old lady was satisfied when she saw it, "Young man, your skills are not inferior to those chefs. Here, take the money."

  There are no plastic bags these days, either a bundle of a few straws, and you can carry them away, or you have to prepare a bamboo basket or net bag yourself.

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

  Stir-fried shredded eel in sauce is very famous in "Vietnamese cuisine", and it is also a favorite dish of ordinary people. Of course, this dish is only eaten by urbanites.

  It means that the cooking method requires hot oil to stir-fry. A dish may be gone after two or two taels of oil. Rural people do not get a few taels of oil all year round. Who would be willing to fry shredded eel.

   After the morning, Chen Qi also forgot how many times he had added eels and frogs, anyway, he sold as many as he took out.

  Business is so good that the old man who sells vegetables next to him is a little skeptical about his life. What he thinks in his mind is that he will not sell vegetables tomorrow, and he will also catch some eels and frogs to sell at night.

  Eels, loach and frogs are all 80 cents per catty, and snails are 30 cents per catty. Chen Qi has already earned 80 yuan in just one morning, and his cheeks are so happy that he laughs so hard.

   This speed of making money is comparable to a money printing machine. Any workers or cadres are just floating clouds.

   Just as Chen Qimei was yelling, he suddenly heard someone calling himself:

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

  Chen Qi was puzzled. 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 flickering at him.

   From the clothing, it shows that the girl's family conditions are relatively superior. The key is that she is also beautiful, a natural beauty without makeup.

   It's just that in her eyes, there is an incredible doubt and shock.

  Chen Qi's brain started immediately, and he found the memory in an instant. I dare to say that this girl is a classmate of the original health school.

  The original owner was the class monitor, she was the art committee member, the two class cadres got along day and night, and they were adolescent boys and girls.

  Fortunately, Chen Qi is no longer the original owner, and he has a thick skin, otherwise he would have to "socially die" if he made a fool of himself in front of the girl he liked.

   "Hey, it's classmate Pan Ye, why did you come to buy vegetables in person?"

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

   "I haven't seen you in a month. When did Squad Leader Chen become so glib? By the way, what are you doing in the market? These eels and snails belong to you?"

  Chen Qi shrugged and said indifferently:

"It's easy to understand. I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to come to work and study. See, such a big snail, such a thick eel, and this jumping frog are all caught by me. If you want to invite me, it's better to meet them by chance. Come, I'll send you a few back to try something new."

  The middle-aged woman next to Pan Ye frowned, "Xiao Ye, who is this?"
