In Chai Fei's hometown, there is a small river running through the whole town. The water quality is very good, and rows of willows are planted along the bank.Many people use water directly from the river, and at the same time, many people fish and feed ducks in the river. When the willows sprout in spring, the whole river is full of vitality.

The way Chai Fei said to make money is very simple. In the chess and card room of Zhang Lixin's house, some people like to play cards until late at night or even all night, and those people are often used to having supper.In the evening, near the chess and card room, there are only soup noodles, fried bread noodles and various pasta for supper, which will inevitably get a bit boring after a long time.

There are many green-shelled snails in the river in summer, and generally only those who are free can occasionally touch some and make them at home.If you can make fried snails directly at Zhang Lixin's home, the cost will be low and the money will come in quickly.

The restaurant where Chai Fei worked part-time in his previous life also cooked supper at night. He helped out in the kitchen and learned a lot about supper.Among them are fried snails.

He told Zhang Lixin this idea, Zhang Lixin scratched his yellow hair, and asked: "Chai Fei, are you short of money? Do you want me to lend you some? It's not me hitting you, it's unrealistic to go to my house for supper , will you do it?"

Chai Fei knew that in Zhang Lixin's eyes at this time, he was still the timid, cowardly and useless good-for-nothing Chai Fei he used to be, so he didn't try to defend himself, he just said: "You always have to pay back what you borrow, and you can feel at ease when you earn money." Some. Go touch the snails tomorrow, try it at night. I saw grandma made it, if it doesn’t work, we can eat it ourselves.”

Zhang Lixin only thought that Chai Fei thought about it, thinking that there would be nothing to do during the summer vacation, so he nodded and agreed.

When I got home, my grandparents were already asleep, the door of the small courtyard was ajar, and a dim light was on at the door.This was specially installed by his grandfather after he started studying at night in junior high school.

Chai Fei felt warm in his heart. This feeling of someone leaving a lamp waiting for him to go home has become a warm memory in his heart since he went out to work.

Too many things happened that day, and such unimaginable things as rebirth would happen to him.Chai Fei couldn't fall asleep for a while, sat at the desk, spread out a piece of paper, hesitated for a moment with the tip of the pen on the paper, and wrote a few lines——

1. Find your murderer

2. Filial piety to grandparents

3. Change yourself, study hard, and get into high school

4. Make money

This method was taught by Yang Yue.Yang Yue said that if you have a goal, you should first break it down into small goals to achieve, so that you can take small steps, and look back and see that you have made a big step forward.

It's a pity that I had no patience or perseverance at that time, and I couldn't persevere.

After finishing writing, Chai Fei looked at his own line on the paper and couldn't bear to look directly at the dog's words, so he added another line with a dark face.

5. Practice calligraphy!

Early the next morning, Chai Fei took two bamboo baskets and called Zhang Lixin, who was still sleeping, to touch green snails by the river.

There was still a little mist on the river in the early morning. Chai Fei put the bamboo basket on the bank, took off his shoes and waded into the water carefully with bare feet. His feet stepped on the soft mud. He was not used to it for a while and almost fell down.

Zhang Lixin, who followed him into the water, hurriedly supported him, and said mockingly, "Chai Fei, take it easy, don't make any money, you fell into the river instead. I heard that a few days ago, a kid drowned in the river while playing planing balls." gone."

"Crow's Mouth, touch it quickly." Chai Fei bent down and groped after standing still.Snails generally like to suck on stone walls. They groped along the stone embankment along the coast, and there were a lot of green snails in their hands, big and small, with green shells or green hairs.

With the water, simply wash the snails in your hands, pick and choose to remove the large and small ones, and leave the medium-sized snails and throw them into the bamboo basket.

The sun is gradually rising and the temperature is getting hotter.

Zhang Lixin felt a little impatient after touching half of the basket. He sat resting on the stone embankment by the river, looked at Chai Fei who was still touching the snails, and couldn't help asking: "Chai Fei, what do you do, you must want to make money." ?”

Chai Fei fumbled with his hands, thought for a while and replied: "My aunt won't let Liu Liu study anymore, what can a girl do if she doesn't study. I want grandpa to take over Liu Liu and take care of her, and earn some money for Liu Liu's tuition , which would be more convincing."

He didn't want to lie to Zhang Lixin. This was indeed a small part of the reason why he was eager to make money, but not all.

Zhang Lixin scratched his head habitually, still a little puzzled, "When did you have such a good relationship with your cousin, don't you hate them the most?"

"I hate my aunt and uncle. They are greedy and don't care about family affection. But Liuliu is innocent." Chai Fei threw the snails into the basket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"But you shouldn't pay for it, and it's not your business. I heard from my mother that your uncle sometimes lost hundreds of dollars when he played cards at our house, and look at the new clothes their son wears every day. The money for a suit of clothes is enough for your cousin to go to school."

"That's their business too. Look at me, I have at least my grandparents to take care of me, but my aunt and uncle only care about their sons and don't care about Liu Liu. They seem to have no parents even though they have parents. I can understand this feeling best gone."

Ever since Chai Fei became sensible, he had never met his parents.He used to think they were all dead, but one time he secretly heard his aunt say that his parents were still alive, they just had a big fight with grandpa and went to live in a big city, hardly contacting grandparents, they lived very well, maybe They had long forgotten that they had a son.

During my rebellious period, I hated my grandfather very much for a while, and felt that if he hadn’t quarreled with my parents, I would not have lived without my parents since I was a child, and I would not have been bullied, laughed at and looked down upon by others.

Chai Fei didn't want to study and wanted to go outside to find a job. Maybe he was looking for an opportunity to find his parents.

Zhang Lixin was moved by Chai Fei's few words, so he didn't continue to rest, went into the water and continued to touch the snails, and told Chai Fei not to be lazy and touch more.

Chai Fei: ...

In his previous life, Yang Yue raised a husky named Tugou, and every time he sent Yang Yue there for supper, it wagged its tail happily at him.If it happened to do something bad when he went to Yang Yue's house, it would stare at Chai Fei in front of Yang Yue's face with a look of condemnation.

Don't ask Chai Fei how he can see condemnation in a dog's eyes.

In short, Chai Fei felt that the current Zhang Lixin and that husky were really... so much alike.

The two of them touched the snails all morning, their hands were wrinkled in the water, and they finally touched two whole bamboo baskets.

Take two baskets of snails home, pick out the ones with green hairs and wash them repeatedly, and each person takes a pair of pliers to cut the tails of the snails.

The tail of the snail is relatively dirty, and the snail meat can be directly sucked out after the tail is removed.And the snails with the tail cut can live for a period of time, and all the small snails in the mother snail can fall out without affecting the taste.

After that, take two large buckets and fill them with clean water to soak them well. The clean water has covered the snails, and then put a few drops of sesame oil into the buckets.

This method was taught by a supper chef when he was working part-time. The restaurant has a lot of ingredients, and he can't wait to soak for a day to let the snails raise the water and remove the mud.When soaking in water, add a little sesame oil to the water, which can encourage the snails to vomit and clean themselves quickly.

After all, they were still growing their bodies. After all the work, Chai Fei and Zhang Lixin were too tired to move.

Zhang Lixin was woken up by Chai Fei early in the morning before he woke up. He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He groped for Chai Fei's bed and fell asleep.Chai Fei really felt that his time was very tight, so he just squinted on the desk and started to practice calligraphy.

He dug out the copybook from the corner of the desk last night, and it piled up a lot of dust.This was bought by his grandfather when he was in elementary school for him to practice calligraphy. After a few days, he threw it aside and never touched it again.I was able to find out thanks to my grandma who always tidied up his room.

Chai Fei has seen Yang Yue write, with elegant and smooth cursive, with Yang Yue's own style, as chic and beautiful as himself.

The copybooks start from the most basic radicals, from regular script to cursive script, and there are every stage, which is very suitable for beginners like Chai Fei to practice.

Once in the mood, Chai Fei seems to have forgotten his own fatigue, and practiced stroke by stroke seriously.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Chai Fei and Zhang Lixin brought the two barrels of snails to his home and started preparations.

Heat the oil in a pan, put the prepared shredded ginger, star anise and Chinese prickly ash into the frying pan when the fire is high, then pour the adjusted chili into the pan and stir fry, then pour some snails into the pan, then add vinegar and salt , monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, half a bowl of beer, and a teaspoon of sugar, stir well, add water, cover, and simmer over low heat.When the soup is simmered to half, add celery and other side dishes, stir fry again on high heat, add a spoonful of water and continue to simmer on low heat.

After the snails have absorbed the soup, they are almost cooked. Before cooking, stir-fry several times, then sprinkle a handful of shallots, and put them on a plate.

When the fried snails started to taste a bit pungent, Zhang Lixin worried that Chai Fei would burn his kitchen down while watching, and even more worried that if the fried snails were particularly unpalatable, he would eat a little for his brother's sake.

However, after the frying was finished, he forgot this concern, and his sense of smell was completely captured by the hot fried snails, so greedy that he salivated, regardless of the hot hands, directly picked up a snail from the plate, and sucked it hard on the mouth of the snail , "Chiliu", the fat and tender screw meat full of soup is sucked into the mouth, and the mouth is full of fragrance and deliciousness.

Zhang Lixin, who couldn't breathe even if he was so hot by the soup, didn't stop talking. He gave Chai Fei a thumbs up, took a bowl of snails and sat at the door of the chess and card room, eating one by one. , the sound of sucking snails and the smell of fried snails seduced the greedy gnats in the stomachs of the people who played cards and looked at the cards. Some people shouted, "What delicious food is the proprietress making, come and order!"

Earlier, Chai Fei had communicated with Zhang Lixin's mother. A bowl of snails in a disposable plastic bowl cost five yuan, and the money earned was divided equally between Chai Fei and Zhang Lixin.

Those who smelled it immediately bought a bowl and took a sip of fried snails. The fresh, spicy, salty, fragrant, and tender snail meat poured into the mouth. The taste seemed to explode, and the mouth was full of fresh and spicy. I was sweating so much that I couldn't bear to put it down. After eating a bowl, I wanted to have another bowl.

For a while, the chess and card room was filled with the sound of playing cards, the sound of sucking snails, and the sound of being gasped.

At nine or ten o'clock in the evening, just after dinner is digested, five yuan is only a pack of cigarettes for a card player. A pot of fried snails sells quickly. sold out.

The two barrels of snails were sold for a total of nearly 300 yuan. Excluding the cost of seasoning, gas, plastic bowls and toothpicks, the net profit was 100 yuan.There are more than [-] yuan per person evenly divided.

At this time in the previous life, Chai Fei would sleep and go out to play every day, and he didn't even bother to do his summer homework, which fully interpreted the word "waste".And now—

Chai Fei touched the money in it through his pocket. After a busy day and a night of frying snails, Chai Fei, who was so tired that he could hardly lift his arms, finally felt that today's hard work was worth it.

As long as you work hard, your destiny can really be changed.
