In one day, Zhou Hai thoroughly memorized the key points of the three subjects besides Chinese and Mathematics that he had learned in his sophomore year of high school, and began to understand them deeply, reaching the stage of mastery.

Remember, this is the basis of learning.

Self-understanding and mastery are manifestations of in-depth understanding of knowledge. When the meaning and content of each knowledge point are truly understood, it means that Zhou Hai has come into contact with the essence of knowledge.

However, although studying is important, Zhou Hai also had to take time out and start setting up a stall to make money.

During the first lunar month, business is particularly booming.

Business is booming, which means a dizzying amount of money.

Money is very important.

There are tuition fees to start school, money for firewood, rice, oil and salt, electricity bills, and a huge appetite that is increasing day by day.

This amount of food means crazy consumption.

Money, money.

Life cannot be separated from money.

Survive without money.

He got up at seven o'clock, steamed ten kilograms of rice in a rice cooker, and served it with pickled mustard and bacon. After breakfast, Zhou Hai went to the vegetable market to do some shopping, sorted the vegetables, cut potatoes, and was ready.

It's eight o'clock.

Then, riding a modified tricycle, he left the door of his house and went to the edge of the sidewalk on Chunyuan Road, which was more than ten meters away, and started setting up a stall.

This is my first time setting up a stall this year.

The stall was set up, and there was no business coming to the door for the time being. Zhou Hai was not idle either. He took out a first-semester mathematics book from the tricycle and started to look through the records.

Set up a stall to earn money and learn knowledge without any delay.

At this time, there was a noise from a nearby store, and the rolling shutter door was pulled up. There were piles of fruits and gift boxes inside. The owner He Chun who opened the door yawned and stretched.

"Xiao Hai, it's so early today and many people are playing at home. There's not much business this morning." He Chun rubbed his blurry eyes and looked at Zhou Hai who had set up a stall waiting for customers and reminded him.

He Chun and Zhou Hai both belong to the same community. The distance between the two families is less than tens of meters. Although they are not neighbors, their relationship is not cold.

Zhou Hai raised his head and smiled at He Chun: "Good morning, Uncle He, you can sell whatever you can. It's getting harder and harder to make money these days."

"That's right, by the way, have you eaten? I'll prepare it here." He Chun nodded.

Zhou Hai thanked him: "Eat, Uncle He, you go about your business."

"It's hard to make money..." He Chun yawned again, turned around and walked into the store, preparing to make breakfast.

At this time, a voice as clear and sweet as an oriole sounded: "Good morning, Zhou Hai, the stall is set up so early."

A girl wearing a light pink down jacket came towards the stall. Her face was as beautiful as the scorching sun full of vitality, and she stood tall and graceful.

"Good morning to you, Huang Li." Zhou Hai nodded to the neighbor girl who was about to buy breakfast.

Huang Li, of the same age, is one of Zhou Hai's neighbors. She is excellent in studies and attends the best high school in Chengdu - Chengdu No. 7 Middle School.

He is handsome and gentle, and I heard that he is determined to study at Capital University.

Huang Li nodded to Zhou Hai, her face looked a little tired, and she seemed not to have woken up. She crossed the stall along the passage and headed towards the Chunyuan Road breakfast shop ahead.

In the early morning, most people eat lighter foods, such as soy milk, steamed buns, porridge, steamed cakes and other foods. Few people eat spicy fried potatoes.

However, there are always exceptions.

"Boss, boss, get me two portions of wolf-toothed potatoes, sweet and sour and spicy, and take them away." Not long after Huang Li walked over, two little boys in down jackets ran over, with round faces and eyes. He looked around, as if he was worried about something.

"Pick your own food."

Seeing the business coming to his door, Zhou Hai's eyes lit up. He put down his textbook and stood up to light the gas stove. The high-temperature flames immediately burned the iron pot filled with a layer of clear oil.

The iron pot is being heated, and two little boys are also holding tongs to fill the small iron bowl with various fresh vegetables.

After a little boy picked up the vegetables, he handed the small iron bowl to Zhou Hai: "Boss, when you've finished picking up the dishes, add some potato starch to me."

"Add some fine powder for me." Another little boy who was picking up the vegetables shouted.

"good."

Zhou Hai took the two iron bowls and poured the vegetables in the first iron bowl into the rapidly heating oil pan. At the same time, he used a tool to pick up a portion of fresh potatoes and poured them into the oil pan together.

"Ziu." The high-temperature clear oil makes a sizzling sound when it comes into contact with fresh vegetables containing moisture.

After frying, take it out and put it into a mixing bowl, mix salt, MSG and spicy seasonings, then pour in sugar and vinegar to create a sweet and sour spicy taste.

Two portions of wolf tooth potatoes were fried in about ten minutes and then packed into cheap paper boxes.

"It's done." Zhou Hai packed two paper boxes, prepared two pairs of disposable chopsticks, and handed them to the two little boys.

The little boy in the lead shouted: "How much does it cost together, boss?"

"Twenty in total." Zhou Hai responded with a smile.

The little boy took out 20 yuan and took two portions of wolf-toothed potatoes: "Why haven't you raised the price? Boss, you don't know how to do business." After paying the money and carrying the wolf-toothed potatoes, the two little boys left immediately. .

"..." Holding the tawny twenty yuan in his hand, Zhou Hai was a little dazed.

No,

Don’t know how to do business?

"Okay, maybe I really don't know how to do business." Looking at the two little boys, Zhou Hai shrugged and collected the money.

During the Chinese New Year, prices rise one after another. Even a haircut usually only costs 20 yuan, but during the New Year it costs 50 yuan.

Before the Chinese New Year, a portion of Zhou Hai's wolf tooth potatoes cost ten yuan. Now, on the second day of the first lunar month, a portion of wolf tooth potatoes still costs ten yuan.

Although Zhou Hai earns at least 6 yuan per serving of Langya Potato.

I set up a stall early in the morning and got off to a good start. I earned 12 yuan, which means I am getting rich every month.

With the two little boys in business, customers came one after another, some eating wolf-toothed potatoes and some eating maocai.

After the time slowly reached ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Hai's business became even busier. Most of the young people who went to the street to play in front of the stalls wanted to get a spicy spiked potato or hot steamed buns. The steaming pile of vegetables will satisfy your craving.

However, Zhou Hai does not have the talent for business.

When the business was busy, he hardly greeted the customers. When some customers asked, Zhou Hai was too lazy to answer, and many customers left directly.

There are many people and it’s too crowded.

Spicy potatoes and maocai are not new things, so I don’t want to wait.

There are various reasons.

Zhou Hai's business is good, and the business of the fruit shop behind him is also good. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, buying gifts and various fruits, and getting ready to visit relatives and friends.

At noon, more and more customers came to the stall, including children, couples, students, adults, etc. There was even a queue at the busiest time.

"Boss, can you be quick with your hands and feet? Get me some wolf-toothed potatoes and take them away."

"Okay, if you want it, fix it now, wait a minute."

"Brother, boil some maocai for me and take it away."

"Okay, wait a minute and choose your own food."
