Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

Chen Hua paid no attention to the gossip of the neighbors around her.

If we can help my older brother get a braised duck shop, his family will never have to worry about food and clothing.

Yang Ya and Chen Kun's eyes lit up when they heard Chen Hua's words.

"Yes, that's right. Give me the shop back, and this matter will be settled."

Chen Kun echoed.

Yang Ya looked at Liang Juan with an arrogant expression and said, "Xiao Juan, since you don't want to remarry my son, then forget it."

"But your nephew hit my son, and there needs to be an explanation for that!"

Anyway, they came here today for Liang Juan's money. As long as they can achieve their goal, whether they remarry or not is irrelevant.

Hearing the demands of Chen Kun's family, Liang Juan knew exactly what they were thinking, and gritted her teeth, saying:

"Your demands are outrageous!"

"Is this going too far? Is this braised duck shop more important, or your nephew? You should think this through carefully."

Chen Hua gave a cold laugh and said.

The reason Liang Juan agreed to marry into their family back then was because of the famine. In order to ensure that her nephews and nieces had food to eat, Liang Juan married herself off.

Chen Hua believed that now, for Liang Ming's sake, she would definitely be willing to give up the braised duck shop.

really.

Liang Juan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, I'll give you this braised duck shop..."

Before Liang Juan could finish speaking, Liang Ming stopped her and said:

“Aunt, I’m not at the point where I need you to pay for my shop to save me.”

“Xiaoming, but they…” Liang Juan looked worried.

"Let them call the police. I want to see whether the police officers from the local station will deal with me first or them when they arrive."

Liang Ming spoke calmly and with a composed expression.

"Liang Ming, don't be stubborn. You hit my brother, that's a fact!"

Seeing that Liang Ming was unyielding, Chen Hua warned him:

"When the police arrive, you'll be the first one they deal with."

Liang Ming sneered and said, "I did hit your brother, but it was because your brother was being a scoundrel to my aunt, and I stopped him."

"In this situation, let alone making your brother's nose bleed, it would be reasonable for me to cripple him."

"On the contrary, your brother acted like a hooligan, and everyone saw it. There are neighbors to testify. Your brother is definitely going to jail!"

As soon as Liang Ming said this, the surrounding neighbors all echoed his sentiments.

“That’s right, we all saw this man harassing Mrs. Liang.”

"Pulling a young woman's hand in public and trying to abduct Mrs. Liang to her home—that's kidnapping a woman!"

"Call the police! We must call the police and arrest this man!"

For a time, everyone wished they could send Chen Kun, this shameless man, to the detention center.

Hearing the whispers of the neighbors, Chen Kun's expression changed; he certainly didn't want to go to jail.

He quickly wiped the blood from his nose and said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My nose is fine, it's just a little blood, I can wipe it off."

"There's no need to call the police about what happened today; it's all family business."

Seeing that her older brother had given in so quickly, Chen Hua gave him a look of disappointment.

“We’re not family with you, get lost or we’ll call the police.”

Liang Ming interrupted Chen Kun and said coldly.

"Let's go now, let's go right now."

Knowing he couldn't gain anything from Liang Juan, Chen Kun gave up and left, taking his mother Yang Ya and sister Chen Hua's hands with him.

After Chen Kun and the others left, Liang Juan said gratefully to Liang Ming, "Xiao Ming, thank you so much for today, otherwise Auntie would have been in trouble."

“Aunt, it’s nothing, don’t worry about it,” Liang Ming said.

Liang Juan looked at the braised food on the shelf and sighed, "It's such a pity that there's so much braised food in the shop. After Chen Kun and his gang made a scene, I don't know how many customers have left!"

"We can't sell all this braised food today."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming smiled and said, "Auntie, what's so difficult about that? Give me an hour and I can sell them all for you."

"One hour? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Liang Juan's face showed a hint of doubt.

She originally planned to sell the braised food in the shop for only one day.

Without wasting words, Liang Ming turned to the neighbors watching the show outside the shop, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Thank you all for speaking up earlier. To express our gratitude, our boss has decided that all our braised food will be 10% off today!"

"Don't miss it, everyone!"

The neighbors' eyes lit up when they heard that the braised duck shop was offering a discount.

"This Liang Hei Ya braised food is incredibly delicious, but it's a bit pricey. Today they're offering a 10% discount, so I'll definitely buy two jin (1 catties) of braised food to go with my drinks."

"Give me a braised duck too!"

"I want five braised chicken wings!"

In no time, neighbors lined up and eagerly bought the products.

It's afternoon now, the busiest time at the privately-run farmers' market.

Other passersby, seeing the commotion, curiously gathered around to ask what was happening.

When they heard that the braised food was 10% off, they all got the idea of ​​taking advantage of the deal.

People have a herd mentality and a tendency to follow trends; they don't know what doesn't taste good.

But things that are popular with many people must taste good.

In less than an hour, Liang Juan's braised duck shop sold out of all its braised food and closed down.

"Xiao Ming, thanks to you today, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with so many braised ducks."

Liang Juan was overjoyed to see that Liang Ming had sold out all the braised food in her shop.

Even though these braised dishes were on sale with a 10% discount, she still made a profit.

“Your shop is displaying my Liang Heiya signboard, so naturally I had someone smash it.”

Liang Ming said with a smile.

"Xiao Ming, what brings you here to see me today?"

At this moment, Liang Juan seemed to remember something and asked a question.

"It wasn't that we suddenly had free time; it was just that Qin Fang suggested adding a freezer to each braised duck shop to make it easier to store the braised dishes."

Liang Ming pointed to the refrigerator on a tricycle not far away and explained:

"Look, I picked up a few used refrigerators today and brought one over to you."

After moving the last Snowflake brand refrigerator into the shop, the two tidied up the shop and drove back to Liangjia Village.

It was already evening when they returned to the courtyard.

Along the country lanes, many villagers squatted in front of their houses, eating their dinner from large enamel bowls.

"Liang Juan is back from the city?"

"Xiao Ming, is the appliance in your car a refrigerator?"

After noticing the refrigerator in Liang Ming's car, many villagers started asking questions.

"Yes, I pulled out a second-hand refrigerator," Liang Ming replied enthusiastically.

As soon as he said this, the villagers were filled with envy.

In the mid-80s, villagers in ordinary rural areas were still pursuing the traditional "four big items": radios, sewing machines, watches, and bicycles.

Even for city dwellers, it takes years of hard work to acquire the new "Big Four" appliances like refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, and motorcycles.

"Liang Ming is really becoming more and more promising; he's even bought a refrigerator."

"I heard that a refrigerator now costs over a thousand yuan. In the past, I would have to work for three years without eating or drinking to afford one."

"Now that Liang Ming is leading us all to sell fruit and mountain products to make money, we also have the opportunity to get refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines."

"That's right, that's right, Liang Ming is such a good kid!"

Liang Ming was unaware that the villagers were speaking well of him behind his back.

He and his aunt had just returned to the Liang family courtyard when they heard his second uncle's voice.

"Big brother, you have to help me this time no matter what!"

“I’m just 5000 yuan short. With that money, I can take over that liquor workshop and become my own boss.”

"When I get rich, I'll give you some shares. Isn't that better than you getting a fixed salary at the sugar factory?"
