Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

The next day, because someone was loading the goods, San Niu and Liu Hao got up a little later. When Zhang Laosan saw that the two of them were still not up, he knocked on the door and called out, "Girl, get up quickly, have breakfast, and you still need to take your medicine after breakfast!"

"Oh no, I forgot you needed to take your medicine! Honey, get up now, you can't sleep anymore!" Liu Hao only remembered when he heard Zhang Laosan speak. "San Niu still needs to take her medicine!"

Liu Hao got up, got dressed, opened the door, and said, "Oh dear, I forgot about San Niu. She needs to take her medicine. Uncle, I'll go get her some food now. Liu Hao, hurry up and get her the food!"

Zhang Laosan didn't know what else to say, so he went back to eat.

Liu Hao brought the food to the room. San Niu had already brushed her teeth and washed up, and was sitting there waiting to eat!

"Baby, eat up! I'll peel an egg for you," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, I don't want to eat a full meal. I'll just have some porridge and two eggs," San Niu said.

"Okay, as long as I'm full," Liu Hao said.

"Honey, have you finished your supplements? If you have, I'll have someone buy you some more so you can keep taking them," Liu Hao said.

"There are still two boxes left. We've finished the goose nest and shark fin soup. Buy ten more boxes of each," San Niu said.

“Okay, then take two thousand yuan and put it in my bag. I’ll go get it when we deliver the goods,” Liu Hao said.

"So quickly, you can get it back right away? Who did you buy it from?" San Niu asked!

“I called him a few days ago. He’s a regular customer of the private kitchen. He knows people who specialize in selling these things, so he gets them for much cheaper prices. I get them from him, and he charges me the original price, which is much cheaper than what Wang Jun and the others buy elsewhere,” Liu Hao said.

"Oh, is that so? Okay, I'll give you the money in one go, and San Niu can eat the eggs!"

"Okay, when I go get the supplements, I'll also buy some of your favorite snacks and dishes for you," Liu Hao said.

"That's great! It's been so long since I've had their pastries and dishes. Just mentioning them makes my mouth water!" San Niu said happily.

"Sigh, it's mainly because we've been busy since we got back from Hainan, we haven't had time. If you want to eat it in the future, we'll deliver it, and I'll go there to buy it for you. Are you full?" Liu Hao said!

“Okay, I’m full. You eat now. I’ll peel some for you. Have two tea eggs. My dad’s tea eggs are so delicious. Eat a few more!” San Niu said.

"Okay, I like tea eggs, but if I don't, I'll have boiled eggs," Liu Hao said.

"If you like it, call me Dad. I'll cook it every day from now on. It's ready, eat up!" San Niu said.

"Ah, I'm full, that feels so good!" Liu Hao exclaimed.

"Brother Hao, what do you eat every morning? Is your food delicious?" San Niu asked.

"At home, breakfast is usually steamed buns, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, and porridge. That's about it. But the food at home is always on the sweeter side, which isn't very tasty. Even the filling of the steamed buns has a sweet taste, which I don't like. That's why I used to be very thin. I loved going to private restaurants, but I just didn't like eating home-cooked meals," Liu Hao said.

"Oh, so who cooks in your family? Why don't you change up the flavors? You always make dishes that are sweet!" San Niu said.

“My family’s cooking is mostly done by our housekeeper. My parents both really like sweet dishes. I’m the only one in my family who has never liked them since I was little. So my mom will occasionally cook a couple of dishes for me, but she has to work every day, so she cooks very little, maybe only a few times a year,” Liu Hao said.

“No wonder you used to be so thin. Now that you’ve come to my house, you can eat whatever you like every day. It seems we are destined to be together. You were meant to come to my house because we not only get along well, but we can even eat together,” San Niu said.

"Yes, baby is absolutely right. Okay, go get the money for me, we need to go deliver the goods. Liu Hao, clear the dishes!"

"Okay, the money's in your bag. Let me help you put it on your purse," San Niu said.

"Oh, right, put the 100,000 yuan and the Hainan address in my bag too. When we get there, hurry up and transfer the money over there," Liu Hao said.

"Oh dear, I completely forgot about that. I'll give it to you now. I prepared it last night. Put it in your bag. Okay, drive carefully," San Niu said!

"Okay, I got it. I'm leaving now. Be good at home, baby. Liu Hao will give San Niu a quick kiss and then leave!"

After a while, Wang Cuihua brought over the foot bath water and helped San Niu soak her feet, saying, "Girl, come and soak your feet!"

“Okay, Mom, wait a moment, someone will come to deliver the vegetables. If you have time, just wait. When they arrive, weigh them and write down the weight and price of each item. Then come to me for the money. If you don’t have time, have Uncle handle it. Also, when the vegetables arrive, give each item to the village chief and half to the people over there. They will come to collect them,” San Niu said.

“Okay, I understand. I’m going to buy groceries for us in a bit, so I don’t have time. I’ll tell your uncle to keep an eye on this,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Oh, right, Mom, they deliver vegetables, and the vegetables and meat are cheap. Don't go yet, wait a while until they come. From now on, you can buy whatever vegetables you want from them, or have them delivered. But, our household accounts need to be kept separate from other accounts every day," San Niu said!

"Oh, okay, I understand! I'll wait a moment, I'll go get your medicine first," Wang Cuihua said and went to get the medicine.

Wang Cuihua gave the medicine, and San Niu took it to the front yard!

After soaking her feet and drinking her medicine, San Niu went to bed to rest!

After a while, Wang Cuihua came over with the order slip. "Girl, this is the order slip for the vegetables. Take a look. Also, I told them I wanted some other vegetables, and they said they'd bring them over soon," Wang Cuihua said.

“Okay, I understand. You take the money, pay them, and return it to them. Do you have the money?” San Niu asked.

“There’s still over two hundred left, enough for a few days,” Wang Cuihua said.

“Alright, come ask me for money when you run out,” San Niu said!

“Okay, I’ll take the money to them,” Wang Cuihua said, and started walking out.

San Niu put the bill away and ignored it, continuing to read her book!

Around 10 o'clock, Liu Hao and Zhang Laosan returned with a lot of things.

"You're back! Why did you buy so much stuff? San Niu, get out of bed and go see what's going on!"

"Okay, baby, come and eat! I went to a private restaurant today and bought a lot of your favorite dishes, as well as snacks and supplements. I brought them all back!" Liu Hao said.

"Oh! That's great, Dad! Tell Mom not to cook anymore, let's eat together. This is enough for us, everyone come and eat, don't let it get cold!" San Niu said!

"Okay, Zhang Laosan finished speaking and left!"

"Brother Hao, Wang Jun, and Huang Xuan! Let them come in and eat with us," San Niu said!

"They went straight home after their delivery, don't worry about them," Liu Hao said.

"Oh, is there something you need that's making them rush back?" San Niu asked.

"They went home mainly to talk about the washing machine. Today, I told them what you said to me yesterday, and they all thought your idea was excellent, so they were eager to go back and find their uncles," Liu Hao said.

"Oh, that's wonderful! In that case, there's a great chance we can accomplish this!" San Niu said happily.

"Oh my! You bought so many groceries! I've already cooked several dishes, and I even stewed some mutton! Wang Cuihua is bringing the dishes over!"

"It's alright, we can eat it all tonight," Zhang Laosan said.

"Aren't my eldest sister and second sister out of school yet?" San Niu asked!

"Not yet, it'll be another half hour before they're back. It's alright, I'll give them everything, save some for the pot," Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, Mother, use a big bowl to give them a little of everything when they come back to eat. Also, take two boxes of snacks for them," San Niu said.

"Okay, hurry up, don't let it get cold!" Wang Cuihua said while picking the vegetables.

San Niu and the others then started eating!

"Mmm, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is really delicious!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Dad, isn't it delicious! This dish is not only tasty but also very nutritious. It's made with all the best ingredients. Dad, you should eat more!" San Niu said.

“Yes, Uncle, please eat more. This is made with sea cucumber, abalone, and bull penis—more than a dozen ingredients in total. Even the soup is a rich broth made with chicken, duck, and many other meats,” Liu Hao said.

"Really! No wonder it tastes so good. It's just that it's too much trouble to make, Zhang Laosan said!"

"That's right, the soup is all cooked the day before. The soup needs to be cooked for ten hours at a time," Liu Hao said.

“Yes, so this dish isn’t made every day at their restaurant. They only make extra when customers order in advance. We were just lucky today, otherwise we really wouldn’t have been able to eat it. But I told the owner to save me a portion next time he makes it, and he’ll let me know when to pick it up,” Liu Hao said.

"That's great! Let's buy more for San Niu to eat, mainly to help her recover," Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, the owner gave us a lot of this dish, so we can share it and have some nourishment. Besides, we're rich. One serving isn't enough, so we can buy another. It's okay. Even if we eat it every day, every meal, we can afford it," San Niu whispered.

“Yes, my daughter is right. Let’s eat to our hearts’ content. Liu Hao, next time you go, ask the owner to make us an extra portion,” Zhang Laosan said.

"What did you say? Make another one!" Wang Cuihua exclaimed.

"I said I'd make an extra portion next time, and we can eat as much as we want, even if it means jumping over the wall," Zhang Laosan said happily!

"Honestly, you said this dish costs one or two hundred yuan? It's so expensive, and you still made so much. Our daughter has borrowed a lot of money! You should eat less!" Wang Cuihua said irritably.

"Auntie, don't worry about spending San Niu's money. I'll pay for all the snacks, supplements, and meals San Niu eats from now on!" Liu Hao said.

"Oh dear, that's not good!" Wang Cuihua exclaimed.

"It's alright, Auntie, you should try it. This 'Wall Jumps Over the Wall' is especially delicious. Let's eat as much as we want. I'll buy it from now on," Liu Hao said!

"Oh, Liu Hao, you're such a good boy! Oh my, what's this made of? My goodness! It's so delicious!" Wang Cuihua exclaimed happily.

"It's delicious, so eat more!" Zhang Laosan said.

San Niu found it amusing to look at Wang Cuihua. She really thought it was ridiculous that she had borrowed so much money and was being prevented from spending it recklessly by Zhang Laosan!

"Honey, what are you thinking about! Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon," Liu Hao said!

“Okay, oh my, this is what life is all about! Once I’m better, our whole family will go to a private restaurant, make a reservation in advance, and have a good meal,” San Niu said!

“Sure! I’ll take care of it. Oh, by the way, boss, we need 1,000 catties of dried shrimp, 500 catties of fruit, and 100 catties of dried longan. We’ll deliver them this afternoon,” Liu Hao said.

"Brother Hao, they'll definitely be a long-term customer in the future. Give them a discount of two mao per jin, and tell him not to tell anyone," San Niu said!

"Okay, I got it! That shop owner is pretty nice. Look, he didn't even make a profit on the supplements I bought from him," Liu Hao said.

“Yes, it’s pretty good,” San Niu said.
