Back to 1980: I Changed My Fate Against All Odds, Starting with a Street Stall

In his past life, Zhao Zhiyuan was a hopeless gambling addict. He lost his home, caused his mother-in-law’s death, and drove his family apart, before someone broke his arms and legs and threw him into the river to die. When he opens his eyes again, he is back in Xihe City in 1980, during the golden age of reform and opening up, at the lowest point of his life. This time, he binds the [Street Food System] and gets his hands on a secret recipe for the finest stir-fried river snails. Starting with a little stall outside Jiangpan Elementary School, he builds a food empire one step at a time. “This time, I’ll never gamble again!” But changing his fate is easier said than done. His wife, Li Duo, has completely lost faith in him; his daughter, Zhao Shuangshuang, is afraid of her “bad dad”; his father-in-law’s family sees him as an enemy; and the neighbors mock him. “A gambling addict running a business? Sure, and the sun rises in the west!” In the face of their doubts, Zhao Zhiyuan proves himself through his success. The aroma of his stir-fried river snails fills the whole street, and schoolchildren line up to buy them! From a street stall to a restaurant, from a roadside vendor to a food and beverage tycoon! He pays off every last cent of his old gambling debts, with interest! This time, he not only wants to make money, but also to be a real husband, father, and son!
