A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

The sound was so loud that the scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Chun.

Despite being watched by everyone, Chen Chun stepped forward calmly and repeated, "I sold all the wood ear mushrooms yesterday."

Many people in the crowd exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, this doesn't make sense. We tried our best to sell it yesterday, so why can't we sell anything?"

"Yeah, could this be a scam? Did they buy it from a relative?"

Amidst everyone's doubts, Hu Dahai walked over to Chen Chun, gestured for him to stand with him, and then said, "You can tell everyone what methods you used to sell these fresh wood ear mushrooms."

Chen Chun didn't hide anything and frankly told everyone about his experience selling wood ear mushrooms yesterday.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

"This guy is ruthless! He just eats unwashed, uncooked wood ear mushrooms like that?"

"Damn, I'm not surprised he can sell the wood ear mushrooms. If he can't sell them, then none of us can."

Some people were even lamenting, "Oh, why didn't I think of this yesterday? Otherwise, I could have made a lot of money selling those wood ear mushrooms!"

Hu Dahai kept Chen Chun in mind.

He had thought he would get nothing this time, but unexpectedly, there really was a good person.

His willingness to eat it directly stems from two things: first, his trust in the wood ear mushrooms, which reflects his trust in himself; and second, his dedication to selling them. Such a person is someone who, given the right opportunity, can be given a valuable opportunity to contribute.

He said to Ye Qinggang, "From now on, when Chen Chun comes to get fresh wood ear mushrooms, give him priority and a full quantity, without any limit."

Ye Qinggang nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

He also admired Chen Chun.

That day, when Chen Chun brought fresh wood ear mushrooms to the place where he had sold vegetables the day before.

People were already waiting here early on.

As soon as Chen Chun arrived, those people surrounded him:

"Young man, sell me some more of your fresh wood ear mushrooms. Yesterday's fresh wood ear mushrooms were so delicious! My grandson never eats wood ear mushrooms, but after trying them yesterday, he insisted that I cook another bowl today!"

"Who can argue with that? Fresh wood ear mushrooms taste much better than dried wood ear mushrooms that have been soaked!"

"Don't try to take it from me, give me some face, I want to buy more today."

"Get lost, who are you? What's your face worth? You dare to come here and act all high and mighty."

On one side, some people who hadn't bought fresh wood ear mushrooms yesterday because they were worried about their quality were very curious: "Wait, are you sure it's okay for you to eat these fresh wood ear mushrooms?"

No sooner had they finished speaking than someone retorted: "Of course it's fine, otherwise why would we come to buy it? Do you think we're all fools? Sun Tai brand off-season vegetables can be grown in large quantities, so what's so difficult about growing a black fungus without adverse reactions?"

"What are you going to say to him? There aren't enough of us to go around sharing these mushrooms, and you're bringing in new competitors!"

Upon hearing this, the person immediately changed their tune: "Oh, right, let me tell you, after we ate it yesterday, we were vomiting and had diarrhea, and we were in pain and itchy. For your own good, please don't buy it!"

Those who worry about the quality of fresh wood ear mushrooms: "..."

"Your words change so quickly, but now that you mention it, there's actually a point to it. I'll buy some today. Not because fresh wood ear mushrooms taste good, but mainly to experience the feeling of vomiting, diarrhea, pain, and itching."

On this day, the fresh wood ear mushrooms in Chen Chun's hands were sold out in less than five minutes.

Even Chen Chun was somewhat shocked, knowing that the profit margin for fresh wood ear mushrooms was much higher than that for off-season vegetables.

"Looks like I'll have to bring more fresh wood ear mushrooms to sell tomorrow!" Chen Chun thought to himself.

At the same time, he remembered what Hu Dahai had said to Ye Qinggang earlier that day, telling Ye Qinggang not to limit the amount of fresh wood ear fungus he could take.

He hadn't thought much of those words when he first heard them, but now, Chen Chun was incredibly grateful to Hu Dahai. It was as if Hu Dahai had opened up a bright path to wealth for him!

He could already foresee how much money he would make tomorrow after selling a whole cartload of fresh wood ear mushrooms! He had to follow Hu Dahai's lead even more closely from now on! Following Hu Dahai meant there was real profit to be made.

......

In the hemp station of Qunyi Brigade.

Gu Huaiyuan stared at the piles of chicken carcasses and fell into deep thought.

These chickens represented his life savings, and now they've all been wiped out by a single outbreak of chicken plague.

"Heaven is going to destroy me!" Gu Huaiyuan cried out in anguish.

In just a few days, Gu Huaiyuan has changed drastically.

He used to be quite chubby and had a noticeable double chin. After all, he raised chickens, and while he didn't eat the chicken meat, he certainly had eggs to eat.

But now, his hair has turned silver-white, he has become as thin as a stick, and his once chubby face has sunken in, making his cheekbones particularly prominent.

The phrase "turning white overnight" probably describes Gu Huaiyuan's situation perfectly.

But right now, despite his problems, there are still many things he needs to solve. For example, he still needs to pay the rent for the mahjong parlor, and he still has household expenses to cover.

In the past, if he needed money, he would sell one or two chickens to get cash.

Now that even the chickens are gone, his source of income has disappeared.

"Gu Huaiyuan, if you don't give us the money soon, we'll starve tonight. I can bear to suffer with you, but what about your child? Do you really want our child to suffer with us?"

Gu Huaiyuan's wife's complaining voice came from behind.

Gu Huaiyuan's body jolted violently. It seemed there was a problem, and he couldn't afford to delay it.

But where exactly do we get the money?

Gu Huaiyuan's brows furrowed even more.

Just then, Gu Huaiyuan suddenly saw the pile of dead chickens that he was originally going to burn.

These chickens may be dead, but their meat is probably still edible, right?

Besides, when people eat chicken, isn't it always cooked thoroughly? Even if there are bacteria or viruses in the chicken, they would be killed long ago after being boiled in boiling water several times.

Those government documents, saying that these diseased chickens need to be destroyed on the spot, are just nonsense and are simply meant to deceive people.

The goal is to push up pork prices.

"Hmph!" Gu Huaiyuan sneered, "I'm barely surviving, so what's wrong with selling some meat?"

With this in mind, Gu Huaiyuan hardened his heart.

After boiling water, I plucked the feathers from these dead chickens.

Since the chicken was already dead and its blood couldn't be drained, Gu Huaiyuan cut all the chicken meat into small pieces and put them in salt water to let the salt water draw out the blood from the chicken.

This allows them to create the illusion that the chickens were killed alive.

Seeing this, Gu Huaiyuan's wife asked curiously, "Gu Huaiyuan, what are you doing? You're not thinking of cooking these dead chickens for us, are you?"

"You heartless bastard, you've lost all conscience! You're no longer a human being!"

Hearing her words, Gu Huaiyuan said impatiently, "Who said you were going to eat them? If I don't process these and sell them, where am I going to get money to feed you?"

"You still dare to sell meat like this? Are you out of your mind? You'll get arrested!" His wife immediately exclaimed again.

"It's not like we're selling it to you, what are you panicking about! Are we supposed to just wait to starve to death?" Gu Huaiyuan said impatiently.

Upon hearing this, his wife quieted down slightly, but still cautioned, "You should still take it easy..."
