Rebirth began in 2004

After getting off the bus at the station, Chen Wei and Li Qin walked a short distance together to the barber shop she was renovating.

We agreed to take a car back together in the afternoon. After Chen Wei finished selling the crayfish, he went to the store to find her.

Chen Wei continued to walk forward. He had to go to the vegetable market at the east gate.

There is the largest vegetable market in the county, with the most complete range of goods.

Of course, it is also the cheapest in terms of price.

The flow of people is also the highest.

After Chen Wei arrived at the vegetable market, he did not rush to set up a stall, but walked around the market.

Surprisingly, I didn’t see anyone selling crayfish at all.

It's surprising, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising.

No one was selling, which was a good thing for Chen Wei. He went to buy new plastic bags first. As for the scale, Chen Wei brought it.

That old-fashioned lever scale.

Wait, how much should a pound of crayfish cost now?

It doesn't matter if I don't know, Chen Wei will ask.

There are so many vendors in the market, and someone always pays attention to the price of crayfish.

Chen Wei priced the crayfish for three yuan and sold them.

After opening the bag, the crayfish were quite active inside the bag.

Different from the expected hot seller, few people are interested in Chen Wei.

Chen Wei couldn't help but frowned, this is the wrong way to open it?

No, Chen Wei remembered that someone in the village came to sell it. In other words, there was no situation where no one bought it.

After selling all morning, Chen Weicai sold the crayfish.

Chen Wei also curiously asked how we were going to get crayfish when we went back.

The answer I got was to make shrimps.

Yes, shrimp.

Not spicy crayfish or something.

Does the spicy crayfish dish have not been developed yet?

Spicy crayfish is the king of late night snacks.

Chen Wei really knows how to cook, because he worked in a shop that specializes in late-night snacks.

What can I say about that store? Even though it is small, its business is quite good.

night snack!

I don’t know what the late-night snack business is like in a small county town.

After packing up the things and putting them into his backpack, Chen Wei bought another ten yuan worth of meat and a pack of soy sauce.

The kind of soy sauce that comes in plastic bags, 1 yuan per 50 per bag.

From now on, this kind of soy sauce was generally used in restaurants. It was rarely used in households and they all bought soy sauce in pots or bottles.

As for the food, I didn't buy it.

Chen Jianhua grows a lot of vegetables in his private plot, and there is no shortage of vegetables to eat.

Chen Wei originally wanted to stroll around the county town to see if there were any opportunities to make money, but then he thought that Li Qin was waiting for him.

I decided to go find Li Qin first, as there was no rush to visit the county town.

Now that we don’t have enough money, even if we see an opportunity, it’s useless. It will only increase our worries.

It’s better to get down to business first by catching more lobsters to sell.

When passing by a fishing gear store, Chen Wei went in and looked around, but he didn't see the kind of shrimp pot he used. Apparently no one has made it yet and sold it.

After spending ten yuan to buy some fine mesh, Chen Wei planned to make it at home.

I also bought some ropes and the like.

Selling shrimp for 54 yuan only left 28.5 yuan.

After deducting the round-trip fare of three yuan, I finally worked hard for two or three days and earned 25.5 yuan.

After all, I feel quite sad.

Money is hard to make!

"Sold out?"

"Um!"

Li Qin asked with a smile: "How much did it cost?"

"54."

"It's okay."

Nowadays people don’t earn that much a day’s wages.

For a junior high school student to earn so much is already very good and impressive.

Chen Wei: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, why, you want to treat me to dinner?"

Chen Wei remembered that there was a noodle shop opposite the station entrance, and it tasted extremely good.

It's a pity that this noodle shop stopped operating for some time, and when I wanted to eat again, it was already gone.

Chen Wei is very sorry about this!

"Let me treat you to a bowl of noodles!"

Li Qin: "Forget it, I'll treat you to it. You still have to save money for tuition! When you become rich in the future, you can eat abalone and sea cucumber from me."

"Then I'll be disrespectful. Don't worry, I will do what I say."

Li Qin smiled, came out from the store with a bag of things, and put it directly into Chen Wei's backpack.

He took a biscuit from it and handed it to Chen Wei's mouth: "Try this biscuit, it's quite delicious."

Chen Wei took it in his mouth, then held it with his hand and looked at it: "Are you buying a child?"

Li Qin showed a happy smile: "Well, she is clamoring for food."

Originally, the child wanted to go to the street with Li Qin, but Li Qin coaxed him away.

Promise her to go back and buy something.

Watching Chen Wei eat, Li Qin smiled and asked, "How was it?"

"tasty!"

The two came to the noodle shop. Li Qin glanced at Chen Wei and ordered a bowl of three liang and a bowl of two liang.

In addition, I also ordered a basket of Xiaolongbao.

I have to say something about these small steamed buns. There are eight in each basket, and when you bite into them, the juice will flow out directly.

The meat filling is quite sufficient.

Most of the people who come to this restaurant to eat are not wealthy people, but ordinary citizens and farmers.

"As for the noodles in this store, I think they taste the best in the entire county."

Li Qin asked curiously, "You know it again?"

"I have some experience in cooking."

Li Qin didn't believe it at all. Anyway, she thought that Chen Wei liked to talk big and brag.

After sitting in the car and returning to the commune, Chen Wei and Li Qin said goodbye and headed home.

First put the meat at the old man's house. The old man went to work in the fields and was not at home.

In the afternoon, Chen Wei did not go fishing for lobsters, but cut bamboos to use them to make the skeleton of shrimp pots.

Others use steel bars, so Chen Wei can only use bamboo. There is no other way, bamboo is free.

As for the quality, it's really not bad.

After working on it all afternoon, Chen Wei made three.

In terms of hands-on ability, Chen Wei feels that he is pretty good.

In terms of style, there is no difference from those purchased online.

After finishing it, Chen Wei took the shrimp pot directly to the river and tied a whole toad meat inside.

The toad meat has a strong smell, which should be very attractive to crayfish.

After putting all three shrimp pots into the water, Chen Wei planned to wait until eight or nine o'clock in the evening to see the effect.

If the effect is good, then there is no need for Chen Wei to fish for lobsters under the sun during the day.

I have been exposed to the sun for the past two days. Not only did I get a tan, but I also lost a layer of my skin.

In the evening, Chen Wei made the meat into a pickled pork belly.

Pickles are made from pickled dried kohlrabi.

Chen Wei had a profound influence on this thing.

Because he lived on campus when he was in junior high school, Chen Wei packed a box of kohlrabi and went to school.

It is pickled with salt, so this dish can be stored for a particularly long time.

Anyway, it won't be bad after a week at school.

Chen Jianhua looked at the braised pork with pickles made by Chen Wei in surprise. Apart from the cost of firewood, this dish seemed to have no other shortcomings.

It tastes extremely good.

These pickles, after eating the meat, can still be used to eat.

On the contrary, life has been going quite well these past two days!

It's both meat and shrimp.

Chen Jianhua did not ask how much money Chen Wei earned.

Chen Wei is also used to this.

His family's house received more than 200,000 yuan in compensation, but Chen Jianhua didn't even ask for a penny from Chen Wei.

If Chen Wei hadn't insisted on spending 30,000 yuan to buy Chen Jianhua social security, Chen Jianhua wouldn't even want to buy social security.

Others later laughed at Chen Jianhua. They didn't want to buy it at first, but now they bought it, and they bought it right.
