Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

"This snack is good. It looks big. It's only five cents a piece. Give me one." The fourth aunt took out a coin and put it on the counter.

After having been out collecting rags for a long time, my fourth aunt realized that people in the city were more discerning than people in the village, especially those who were doing business. It was very difficult to ask them about things, and they couldn't ask directly, so she paid for it first. The money bought a corn cane.

The shop owner was very happy. Opening the shop early in the morning meant business was good throughout the day. “This was just made yesterday afternoon, and it’s crispy to the bite.”

"Have I never seen you selling this before?"

"This is a new product. It has to be made from grain. In the past, it was mainly sold in supply and marketing cooperatives and could not be sold in the city at all."

This is a reasonable explanation.

The fourth aunt nodded, got on her tricycle and went to the next shop, only to see the corn cane again at the fifth shop.

This time I found out more information. The shop owner said that he ordered fifty sticks a day and a woman would deliver them in the evening.

As for the purchase price, the shop owner couldn't say, but it was definitely cheaper than five cents.

After learning that this was the case, the fourth aunt didn't bother collecting the rags. She went directly back to the Little Man Bookstore and explained the situation to her grandfather, "There are already two companies selling it."

Grandpa calculated the time, and his face became ugly. Judging from the time, it looked like Xiaoxia of Chen Dayong's family took the goods from her own home and sold them to other people's shops.

"Does Dayong know about this?"

"Hard to say."

Chen Dayong was in poor health and tried not to go out as much as possible. In the first few days, when he had just agreed to purchase goods, Chen Dayong followed Xiaoxia twice and Xiaoxia came to purchase goods alone.

The fourth uncle thought for a moment and said, "Whether he knows it or not, he has to figure it out. Otherwise, if we suddenly cut off Xiaoxia's goods, I'm afraid the captain and Dayong will be angry."

This is true, no matter whether the other party is really confused or pretending to be confused, the abscess must be opened in front of him to avoid complaints afterwards.

The fourth uncle took some time and made a special trip to find Chen Dayong's home.

Chen Dayong's whole family was crowded into one room, separated by a curtain. When his fourth uncle passed by, Chen Dayong and his mother He Guizhi were both at home.

There was a small coal stove on the ground. I didn't want to burn coal. There was no heat in the room.

Seeing his fourth uncle, Chen Dayong was a little surprised. He wiped the bench with his sleeve and asked him to sit down, "Why are you here in such a cold weather?"

The fourth uncle originally wanted to say it bluntly, but when he saw the shabby state of the house, he couldn't bear to say those words, "Have you not been here for a long time? I haven't asked you to have a meal. Today it's just the two of us, find a place to drink." A little?"

Chen Dayong slapped his thigh, "Why are you so polite? That's what happened. I've always wanted to ask you to have a drink, but I'm sick and can't drink. It's better to choose a different day. Why don't we drink together today? Would you like some tea?"

Fourth uncle nodded, "Okay."

There is no such thing as drinking tea in the countryside. People in the city love drinking tea, and they are very particular about it. There are special teahouses.

The teahouses here sell not only tea made from tea leaves, but also noodle tea.

Noodle tea is also called fried oil tea, which is made by frying flour with mutton oil until fragrant, then brewing it with boiling water, and eating it with crispy twists, which is fragrant in your mouth.

Just a few days ago, Yuan Nier invited everyone to have noodle tea, so the fourth uncle knew the place.

Since coming to the capital for medical treatment, Chen Dayong has never been in a restaurant. When he came to the door, he suddenly hesitated, mainly because he was afraid that he didn't have enough money to pay the bill... "The front looks good, isn't it quite expensive inside?"

The fourth uncle pulled him and said, "I beg you, come in quickly."

Noodle tea is mostly sold in the morning. There was not a lot of people in the restaurant at this time. After asking whether they wanted sweet or savory drinks, the waiter made a bowl of noodle tea for each of them.

After washing it, I grabbed a handful of crushed peanuts and sesame seeds and sprinkled it on the noodle tea.

"Isn't this just fried oil tea? This thing is very particular." Chen Dayong was happy when he saw the noodle tea.

"You can't drink, so let's have something affordable."

"That's good. This stuff is delicious and can be used as a meal."

The noodle tea was served, and the two of them ate the twists and chewed a big meal. The food was fragrant and their bodies were warm.

Chen Dayong wiped his mouth and sighed with emotion, "Brother, to be honest, when I was in the village, my father was in charge of everything. I really felt like I was the best in the world.

When I entered the city, I realized that I was nothing. If I didn’t work hard, even my life was not my own.

Thanks to you pulling me in at the critical moment, I was able to see a doctor. I recognized you as a brother. "

There was another sentence that Chen Dayong didn't say.

The fourth uncle's family were all honest. When he was in the village, Chen Dayong still looked down on his family.

I didn't expect that my fourth uncle's family is living so well now. The key is that they are benevolent and willing to take care of a patient like him.

The fourth uncle is also a temperamental person. When Chen Dayong said this, he felt a little hot in his eyes, "Don't say anything and treat your disease well. Science is improving day by day. Maybe one day, your disease will be completely cured." .”

"Ugh."

The two of them had a big meal, drank all the noodle tea, and chewed a pound of twists carefully, and then they were satisfied.

The fourth uncle paid the bill and was about to ask Chen Dayong to go out when he saw him staring straight out of the window, "Isn't that Xiaoxia?"

The fourth uncle was soft-hearted and didn't want to reveal the matter. He didn't expect that things were so small. He was about to go out, but Chen Dayong saw him.

I saw Xiaoxia dragging two big bags. Although the two bags were large but fluffy, I knew at a glance that they contained corn canes.

Chen Dayong looked puzzled, "Why doesn't Xiaoxia go home? Is it sold now? It shouldn't be. I specifically told her?"

Don't sell corn canes around here. This was the only condition my grandfather made when he agreed to supply the goods.

Now that the pustule has been popped, the fourth uncle had no choice but to let nature take its course. The two followed Xiaoxia and saw with their own eyes that she sold fifty corn canes to the shop.

It is true that Xiaoxia did not sell corn canes with her own hands, but her behavior was worse than selling it with her own hands. She wholesaled corn canes to two small shops in one go. Will the business of Xiaoren Bookstore not be affected?

Seeing clearly what his wife had done, Chen Dayong's face turned red. Regardless of his fourth uncle's obstruction, he rushed over and grabbed Xiaoxia's collar.

"Are you crazy because of poverty? I have told you not to sell around here, why can't you remember it?"

He looked so ferocious that Xiaoxia was frightened out of her wits. The latter pursed her lips and said, "Dayong, don't be like this. If you have anything to say, please speak it up."

The fourth uncle also stepped forward to stop him, "Let's find a place to talk slowly. Don't make trouble outside and make others laugh."

Chen Dayong laughed miserably and took three steps back, "Xiaoxia, do you know what you are doing? You are setting me up for injustice. The soldier took pity on me and gave us a way to make money. How could you rob me?" Other people’s business?”

Xiaoxia burst into tears, "Dayong, you misunderstood, I didn't..."
