Back to the 80s: Buying Sea Cucumbers for 10 Cents a Catty

share time: 2025-11-28 00:30:22

Lin Xiaoman, a former CEO of a seafood group, accidentally travels back to 1982 and ends up in a destitute fishing village. To her surprise, local sea cucumbers—dismissed as 'sea worms' due to lack of processing knowledge—are sold for only 10 cents a catty! She uses all her savings to buy them, but faces skepticism from the village chief ('She’s crazy!'), mockery from neighbors ('What a wastrel!'), and even worry from Chen Jianguo, a veteran who silently helps her. Relying on her past-life processing expertise, Lin stays up all night developing a salting method, turning the 'useless' sea cucumbers into a hot commodity sought after by city supply and marketing cooperatives. She not only earns her first pot of gold but also leads the village to establish a sea cucumber cooperative. When doubts turn into knocks from people begging to join, Lin looks at the hot ginger soup Chen hands her and realizes—this 80s journey isn’t just about making money, but also about gaining the warmest human connection.
