Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

At noon, there was only one table of three individual customers in the roast duck restaurant, and the waiter was leaning against the stove and chatting listlessly.

Qin Dabao and Tong Dapeng brought their three children and pushed open the cotton curtain. The restaurant was steaming hot.

He didn't need to ask the children what they wanted to eat. He arranged for them to sit against the wall and ordered at the counter.

The person issuing the invoice was the same fat lady, and it was obvious that she was well-off. But it would be a huge joke if one worked in a restaurant and didn't have enough to eat.

When the fat lady saw Qin Dabao, her eyes lit up. Isn't this the clean and handsome boy who came a few days ago?

She asked lazily: "What to eat?"

"Five roast ducks, three to eat here, two to take away, a set of duck bones for soup, two sets of salt and pepper, a cold dish, and five bottles of Arctic Ocean soda."

The fat lady peeked at Tong Dapeng and the three children, then sat back down. This kind of combination was quite rare in a restaurant.

Qin Dapeng took out five pieces of White Rabbit milk candies and quietly placed them on the counter. The fat aunt was happy. This was a good thing. The child was really polite.

She slid the candy into the drawer with her hand, then looked up with a smile on her face. It was obvious that the candy had worked.

"A total of forty-one dollars and fifty cents, four pounds of grain coupons, seven and a half pounds of meat coupons."

Qin Dabao held the soda and felt a familiar feeling.

There are few children who don’t want to drink soda, especially Beibingyang soda. This is the childhood memory of the people of old Beijing. In 51, a soda factory was established in Beijing, and the soda produced was called Beibingyang.

Bianyifang has an ice cellar, and the soda is placed on the ice with grooves of the bottles carved into the ice. This is incomparable to the refrigerators of later generations. It is authentic and original, and it is comfortable to drink even in winter.

Knowing that the roast duck would be served soon, the three little ones squinted their eyes and sipped the sweet soda in small sips.

Niuniu, Wenwen and Erbao felt that they loved their brother so much that they forgot about their parents when they were with him.

Qin Dabao looked at Wenwen, and his nose felt a little sour. Poor Wenwen, this was the first time she had drunk soda in her life.

When Qin Dabao thought of this, he couldn't help but blame Lu Baiwen. If it weren't for his so-called foolish filial piety, how could his own children not even have a new set of clothes? How many children living in the capital have never had a soda?

The topic of discussion among the neighbors these days is all about the Lu family. As for Lu Baiwen, he is a good person and has no faults in his work and behavior, but when it comes to his adoptive mother and brother, he never fights back, never responds when scolded, and always responds to requests.

Lu Baiwen is actually very good-looking. His good-looking attitude is almost pathological. For example, this time, Lu's mother pretended to be sick, lured Lu Baiwen and his wife back, and plotted to kill them.

This could have been completely avoided. His wife was unwilling to go back at the time, and their daughter had no one to take care of her. Lu Baiwen was furious and forced his wife to go back with him. So he could not escape the robbery and murder this time. People had plotted against him to the core.

Qin Dabao was daydreaming, and the waiters next to him were talking about them. After all, it was only 30 yuan to support a family of five or six people.

These kids spend one and a half months’ salary of a regular worker in one meal. What else could they be but prodigals?

Qin Dabao doesn't care about what others think. Mmmmm! I've been reborn once, but I'm hungry and cold all day, and I have to be cautious about everything I do. What's the point of being reborn? I might as well die early and reincarnate!

"Number three, the cold dishes are ready!" a sudden shout came from the window. It's a restaurant after all, so the food is nutritious and full of confidence!

Qin Dabao quickly took the receipt and went to get the cold dishes. The waiters were still chatting lazily, not even blinking. This job is like being a boss.

I have to say that this is a centuries-old brand. Although the service is not so good, the dishes are really beautiful.

This cold dish is very particular. It is called Qianlong Cabbage. The ingredients are Chinese cabbage. Tear the cabbage leaves into small pieces by hand. Never cut them with a knife. After washing, drain the water completely and pour the sauce made with sesame paste on it. It tastes sweet, sour, crispy and refreshing, and is especially good for removing greasiness. Especially after eating roast duck, it is so refreshing to have two chopsticks of this.

The roast duck in the braised oven at Bian Yi Fang is cooked without any open flames. The duck is roasted entirely by the heat from the oven wall. The duck is roasted in this way and has a crispy skin, is fat but not greasy, and has a special aroma.

"Duck? Whose duck?" It was still the familiar smell. Qin Dabao hurried to the window to get it. Oh my god, Bian Yi Fang always has such a big tray. Three large plates of roast duck, three plates of flatbread, the remaining cucumber strips, green onion segments, and noodle sauce filled up a tray with a diameter of more than half a meter.

Place the roast ducks on the table one by one,

The three children no longer paid attention to him. Their six eyes were fixed on the roast duck and they couldn't pull them away.

Niuniu was so anxious that she screamed: "Guoguo, Qi, Qi..."

Qin Dabao had to feed all three children by himself. Tong Dapeng couldn't be fed at all. His mouth seemed to be growing into the plate. He ate desperately, as if he was eating his enemy.

Qin Dabao spread out the pancake, put cucumber strips and a small piece of green onion on it. The green onion was not spicy but slightly sweet. He evenly spread the sweet bean sauce on it, put a piece of roast duck skin on it, rolled it into a small roll, and fed it to his two sisters first.

Erbao was gnawing on a duck leg by himself, and he was quite well behaved.

Wenwen and Niuniu had never eaten such delicious food before. They ate five pieces in one go and then stopped. They couldn't keep feeding their sister more because it was too greasy.

Niuniu held the soda bottle and drank it slowly.

Qin Dabao then took over feeding Erbao. He also ate two pieces while feeding Erbao, while Wenwen ate the duck meat herself.

Qin Dabao rubbed Wenwen's little head and said, "Eat, eat more, and take two home to eat in the evening."

Wenwen smiled like a kitten and nodded vigorously.

Erbao is full too.

The meal was so grand that even Niuniu had a bulging belly. Ninety-nine percent of the children of that era wanted to have a full stomach.

But eating well and having enough food is a luxury that we cannot even dream of.

Tong Dapeng helped send Erbao and the others home and left. Before leaving, Qin Dabao stuffed fifty yuan and ten kilograms of food coupons into his pocket. Tong Dapeng did not refuse, but looked at his back as if he was wiping his eyes.

Qin Dabao cursed with a smile. He liked to make people around him happy. Maybe he had lived too much in his previous life, so he let it out in this life.

They say the hardest thing for a person to overcome is oneself, and the hardest thing to understand is also oneself. Qin Dabao sometimes can't understand himself now. Wasn't his temper so bad in his previous life? What's wrong with him now? He thinks and thinks and can't figure it out, so he simply gives up and lives his life as he pleases.

When I got home, Lu Xiu'e had already returned. She had been doing odd jobs today and hadn't rested for a minute. She was so tired that her arms and legs ached. She was a strong woman, otherwise she wouldn't have worked herself to death in her previous life and died after being bedridden for half a year.

Now that there is a new child in the family, she cannot put all the burden of the family on her husband's shoulders alone, so she goes out to find odd jobs.

For example, Lu Xiu'e did not spend a penny of the money Qin Dabao earned, and saved it all for her son to find a job and get married.

Qin Dabao saw his mother's tired look and felt very guilty. It seemed that finding a job for his mother should be put on the agenda.

After much thought, he decided that the most suitable job for his mother was a salesperson, and the workplace had to be close to home. After the New Year, when Erbao went to primary school, there would still be two little ones left at home.

Qin Dabao had his eyes on the job of a salesperson at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative on Gulou Street, which was less than 200 meters away from his home. The work was easy and enjoyable, and it was impossible for him to be unhappy because there would be inevitable quarrels, which was his mother's favorite thing to do.

But now the New Year is almost here, so let’s wait until after the New Year to start this matter.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with two roast ducks and braised cabbage with duck bones. Qin Dabao also placed twelve large flatbreads made of two-grain flour on the edge of the pot. The flatbreads soaked up the soup and were delicious.

The family members ate so much that they were groaning. Qin Dabao was afraid that his family members' stomachs would be upset, so he secretly took a few cups of Lingjing water and gave each of them half a cup.

The results were very good and no one in my family had diarrhea.
