How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

The first order they made was a large chicken drumstick. Xia Chu, who had borrowed money, was so happy that when she saw the chicken neck, she handed it over and said, "I'll give you a chicken neck."

The chubby girl quickly took it. There was little meat on the chicken neck, but it was worth it. "Thank you."

A chicken drumstick is as big as an adult's palm, and it is even bigger in a child's hand. Xiaopang can't close his mouth when looking at the chicken drumstick. He blows hard with his little mouth, wanting to have a taste quickly.

"Okay, let's go." The little fat girl was gnawing on the chicken neck. Although it was not fried, it was braised and tasted pretty good.

"Mom! I want to eat chicken legs, the ones as big as my brother's."

Dapang has become a walking advertisement. He has a small mouth and it takes him a long time to finish one-third of a chicken leg. The children who pass by are all greedy and clamor for a piece of it.

They only bought two chickens, and the four chicken legs were sold out in no time. Xia Chu recommended them chicken wings and chicken cutlets, which looked quite big and were two cents cheaper than chicken legs.

The chicken cutlet looks big, but it is actually pounded with a rolling pin and is very thin. But after being coated with egg liquid and flour, it becomes plump.

Once she makes the breadcrumbs, it will taste even better.

Dong Xiaohuan really did nothing. When she was busy and wanted to go forward to help, Zhang Zhou was quick to help her back.

The four children ran the business in perfect order. Xia Chu was quick with the bills and never made a mistake, giving no one the chance to underpay or find fault. Xia Tian was already an expert at frying things, knowing whether they were done well at a glance. Guan Xu helped with the food, taking out whatever was asked for. Zhang Zhou was meticulous and had a good memory, so he was in charge of passing things around, keeping track of who went first and what was ordered.

The man who used to sell pancakes next door moved to a different spot, not next to them. Recently, a kind woman selling tofu pudding arrived. Seeing the children sweating profusely, she brought a bowl of tofu pudding over and said, "Girl, you're so lucky to have such capable children. Come, have a bowl of tofu pudding to quench your thirst."

"Thank you." Dong Xiaohuan thanked him and said proudly, "That's right, you don't need me anymore."

"I saw it. You were pressed down as soon as you got up. Your children are so filial. They are afraid that you will be tired." The woman looked envious. It is said that there are three hardest jobs in the world: rowing a boat, forging iron, and selling tofu. The tofu is soaked from the day before, and then you get up in the middle of the night to grind it, and then cook it again. Only then can you go out to do business at dawn. When the men come home, they either fall asleep immediately or cross their legs and wait for dinner. The son has learned the same thing from his father. Not to mention helping him, he even wants to feed him the food. Thinking of the two people waiting to be served at home, she couldn't help but sigh.

Dong Xiaohuan saw that her face was sallow and her hair was dry. Although her clothes were clean, they were hanging on her body with nothing. She looked pitifully thin. But every family has its own problems, and she couldn't help. She raised her bowl and took a sip. The tofu pudding was well made. There was no bean smell, only the aroma of beans. "Sister-in-law, this tofu pudding tastes good. Give each of our children a bowl."

"Okay, okay." The woman came to her senses and nodded repeatedly. She took the money and found it was five cents, so she stuffed it back and said, "I'm treating you to this bowl, it's free."

Dong Xiaohuan didn't refuse and asked Xia Tian to fry a fresh sausage for her. "Come, try some of my food too."

The woman had been here for the past few days and had seen firsthand how prosperous her family's business was. But this fresh sausage cost three cents a piece, and even though it was made of meat, she still couldn't bear to try it. She felt a little embarrassed, wiping her hands on her clothes again and again. She wanted to take it but felt embarrassed, her face a little red. "How can I be so embarrassed? This is made of meat."

"Take it." Dong Xiaohuan grabbed her hand and put the bamboo stick into her palm, "Try it."

The woman blinked, her eyes a little sore, "Thank you, my last name is Hu."

"Madam Hu, come and try it. This is made with meat bought this morning. It's very fresh." Dong Xiaohuan urged her with a smile, "My husband's surname is Wang, and my maiden surname is Dong. You can call me whatever you want."

"Madam Dong." Madam Hu called out.

By mid-afternoon, Xia Chu and his friends had sold most of their wares. After packing up their stall and preparing to go home, Dong Xiaohuan said she needed to go to the blacksmith shop and left with Xia Chu.

"Brother, can I have some candied haws?" Guan Xu licked his lips when he heard the shouting.

"Go buy one, one for each of you." Xia Tian counted out the money and gave it to him. He and Zhang Zhou pushed the cart slowly, waiting for Guan Xu to catch up after he finished shopping. As soon as they turned into an alley, they saw three men leaning against the wall in front of them, doing nothing. After noticing them, they turned their heads to look at them.

Xia Tian was very familiar with this type of person; he had often encountered them when begging. These lazy people did not work, but wandered the streets in groups of three or five every day. Sometimes, when they were bored, they would tease the beggars.

He had been teased before. They snatched the steamed bun he was about to get. Several people threw it back and forth, laughing as they watched him run around chasing the bun. Finally, the bun fell to the ground, and those people told him to crawl through his crotch to pick it up. He actually thought crawling through his crotch was nothing. As long as he had something to eat, it didn't matter. Unfortunately, he didn't get to eat the bun in the end. After he crawled through without hesitation, those people said it was boring and stepped on the bun to pieces. He wanted to pick it up, but it stuck to the ground and broke into pieces when he picked it up. There was more sand than the bun, so he couldn't eat it.

"Brother." Zhang Zhou frowned and shrank behind Xia Tian.

"It's okay." Xia Tian woke up from his memories. The three people opposite him were not the same ones as before. He was no longer a beggar who was bullied by others.

This kind of lazy guy usually doesn't bully children other than beggars, because he is afraid that other people's parents will come to his house and cause trouble.

They are now family people with parents and new clothes and shoes.

Xia Tian pushed the cart forward, but he was still nervous, after all, the memories of the past were still there. Seeing this group of people, Xia Tian couldn't help but be alert.

With a slight "pop" sound, Xia Tian realized that the car could not be pushed. He looked down and found that the wheel was stepped on by someone. He looked up along the foot and saw a face with a malicious smile. "You ran over my foot, it hurts, pay for it."

"I didn't hit anything, so I don't have any money." Xia Tian frowned and held the car tightly with both hands.

"If you don't pay, you can't leave today." Jiang Er lowered his eyes and looked at the two little children, threatening: "Otherwise, you can leave this car."

"Business is so good every day, don't you have any money?" Wang San said.

"That's right, hand over the money quickly. You crushed our big brother's foot, so it's a bargain for you to only pay a small amount of compensation." Liu Si joined in.

"I don't have any money. My mom has it," Xia Tian said, glancing around. The alley was flanked by other people's walls, and they were right in the middle, some distance from either exit. If they ran forward without a care in the world, they'd likely be caught. What should they do?

Zhang Zhou was a little panicked. These three men were taller and stronger than them, so they couldn't escape. The money was still in the car. If it was stolen, all their work would be in vain.

"Let me search the car and we'll know." Jiang Er grabbed Xia Tian's clothes and threw them back, then went to open the cabinet below.

Zhang Zhou wanted to help his brother, but also wanted to protect the money. He glanced at the oil pan in the car and was a little scared. Would he go to jail if he hurt someone? But when he saw the jar of money being taken out, he didn't think much about it and overturned the oil pan with a raised hand.
