In the 1980s, Chen Ahai, a young man from a small fishing village, went tide-hunting every day to catch snails and shrimps, then carried them to the county market to sell. But he was always cheated by unscrupulous vendors—low prices, fake scales—losing most of his money. Even A Xiu, the fish-selling girl he had a crush on, called him “too naive”. Until one stormy night, he accidentally fished two wild abalones weighing a catty each. This time, he fought back: he united his fellow villagers to launch “direct fresh seafood supply”, connecting directly with restaurants and residents, and exposed the profiteers’ tricks with “on-site weighing and video recording”. The former “gullible fool” gradually became the “living signboard of seafood” in the market. He not only made money to build a new house for his family, but also got A Xiu to offer a hot towel: “Shall I help you watch the stall from now on?” It turns out that the counterattack in the 1980s is when “honesty” meets “flexible thinking”!
