Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu really doesn't like his little grandma.

People of his grandma's generation had a hard life before, and everyone had something wrong with them. For example, his grandma was very protective of food. When she got older, she would hide anything that was delicious and eat it for herself.

As for his second grandmother, Guan Jianguo's mother, she was very stingy, and she was reluctant to spend a penny on weekdays.

And his little grandma likes to take advantage of others the most.

But if he just likes to take advantage of it, Guan Baiyu won't dislike her... Guan Baiyu will be dissatisfied with her, and it has something to do with her non-stop "Kaikai".

Kaikai, whose name is Guan Kai, is two years younger than Guan Baiyu and the same age as Guan Baiyu's younger sister, who is thirteen this year.

They are from the same family and live very close to each other, so they would normally play games together, but because when Guan Kai was born, they happened to have family planning, and because their family had only one child, this little grandma didn't care about Guan Kai. It hurts my heart.

Guan Kai was spoiled and grew up with a very bad temper. When he played with them when he was young, he would cry if he didn't follow him. If he cried, he would complain to his grandma.

Then Guan Kai's grandma led Guan Kai, looking for trouble everywhere, and quarreling with other parents.

In the end, none of the people in their area were willing to play with Guan Kai.

Guan Kai was unhappy again, and went to complain to his grandma that others would not take him to play. Guan Kai’s grandma came to trouble him and asked him to take Guan Kai to play. When he wins Guan Kai in a card game, Guan Kai will be unhappy, and Guan Kai's grandma will talk about him.

His grandma brought him back and raised him, but he was not from Guan's family. His grandma didn't like him very much, and it was impossible for him to stand up for these things. He didn't know how many times Grandma Guan Kai said to him since he was a child.

This little grandma also likes to gossip about people behind their backs, always telling people that he beats his father and mother against his family, so no one wants her.

They also framed him as treating Guan Kai badly, beating Guan Kai and so on.

He didn't fight at all.

There are many similar things, and Guan Baiyu didn't know where to start for a while, and finally told Shi Zhen a recent incident: "During the Chinese New Year, the river in front of the door was drained, and I picked some from the river. Crucian carp, but she said that her grandson found it, and took all my crucian carp."

When Guan Baiyu mentioned this, he was a little depressed.

Now everyone's life is getting better, more or less buy some meat and some fish to eat during the Chinese New Year, but except for the New Year's Eve dinner where he can eat meat at his adoptive father's place, he usually has no chance to eat meat.

The small crucian carp caught had more bones and less meat, but that was still meat.

Shi Zhen didn't know about these things. In his previous life, Guan Baiyu seldom talked about these relatives, and when he did, he basically didn't speak ill of them.

That's right, when people become adults, they generally don't remember these trivial things anymore.

Putting his arm around Guan Baiyu, Shi Zhen patted him on the back: "Next time I'll buy you a big fish. As for your little lady, we won't give her meat again."

"En." Guan Baiyu responded. In fact, he wanted to stop Shi Zhen from giving meat just now, but he was afraid that after he stopped, his little grandmother would speak ill of Shi Zhen all over the village.

After the pork head meat was stewed, Shi Zhen saved some marinade and meat for tomorrow morning, and processed the rest as before, and put them in the big basin.

The next day, Shi Zhen took a pot of pig's head meat, a domino stool, a small stool, knives, scales and other small things, and walked to the town with Shi Xinghuo.

When he arrived in the town, Shi Zhen found a place outside the vegetable market, put the stainless steel basin on a higher domino stool, and prepared to sell pig's head meat.

He and Shi Xinghuo came early, it was only six o'clock in the morning, but many people had already come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Shi Zhen was not pretentious, and greeted: "Pork head meat? Cold-cut pork head meat costs two yuan a catty!"

Nowadays, there are quite a few food shops in the town, but all of them sell steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, etc. There are very few cooked food shops, there are only three shops in total, and these three shops are all set up outside the vegetable market like Shi Zhen.

It’s just that their stalls are bigger, and they have a lot of things, such as roast chicken, stewed chicken, stewed duck, dried tofu boiled in marinated chicken, tofu skin, etc., selling a dozen of miscellaneous things.

But no one sells pork head meat.

In addition, the products sold in those stalls were not cheap. Shi Zhen had seen before that many people went to them to buy dried tofu that had been deep-fried and braised in soy sauce.

His pork head meat is not expensive, and it is unique.

The residents of the town are not very interested in pork head meat. Many of them don't like to eat fatty meat, but some farmers who can hardly get vegetables from the town are still very interested in pig head meat.

The key is cheap.

These days, when most people buy food, they buy cheap ones, not delicious ones.

One after another, people came to Shi Zhen's place to buy pork heads.

Shi Zhende admits that doing business in this era is much easier than in later generations. Among other things, if such a three-nothing stall like his is set up 20 years later, no one will ask.

But here, a pig's head was sold out in less than an hour.

Shi Zhen more or less smeared some change, and sold twelve catties of cold-cut pork head meat for a total of 21 yuan.

What he lacks most now is a tricycle. Without a tricycle, he can't bring too many things to the town to sell. He can only bring one pig's head one by one...

Shi Zhen went to the vegetable market to buy three pig heads, and by the way left the stool with Butcher Zhu before returning home.

It was only eight o'clock when Shi Zhen got home, he cooked another pig's head, went out at eleven o'clock, and brought it to the town to sell.

Before he went, he also put a pig's head into the pot, put in the seasoning, filled it with firewood and stewed it, so that when he came back from a trip, the pig's head should be almost stewed.

While doing this, he was still steaming the leftover rice from last night on the steaming rack - now he is studying for half a day on Saturday, and Guan Baiyu will go home later.

Today is Saturday, there are more people in the town than usual, and the pig heads that Shi Zhen brought this time were sold out in a short time.

He didn't delay, and went home immediately.

When Shi Zhen went back this time, Guan Baiyu was adding fire to the back of the stove, and the pig's head in the pot was almost stewed.

Shi Zhen sat down to rest, smiled and said to Guan Baiyu: "Baiyu, I have already sold two pig heads today, and I can sell another one later! I can earn ten yuan by selling one pig head, and I can earn thirty yuan a day in the future. "

These days, an ordinary worker earns over two hundred a month. If he can earn thirty a day, he can earn one thousand a month.

At that time... there will be a tricycle.

Guan Baiyu's eyes lit up.

Shi Zhen was in a good mood, but he was also really tired.

After most of the day, he hardly had any time to rest, especially every time he took a basin to the town, he had to walk for half an hour, even if he was in good health, it was a bit overwhelming.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu went to town with the third pig head.

They didn't set up a stall this time, but went to the place where Shi Xinghuo dug river mud, and sold out the pot of pork head meat there.

This time Shi Zhen still sold it for one yuan and five catties, but he didn't give those workers any change to save money, but even so, Wang Chengfa and the others were not dissatisfied.The town is still small at the moment, and there are not many foreigners. They already know the news that there is a stall selling pig head meat in the vegetable market, and they also know that Shi Zhen sells it for two yuan a catty outside. That being the case, they have already taken advantage up.

After selling out, Shi Zhen went to buy a pack of dried noodles, intending to eat noodles at night to celebrate.

There is not much wheat grown in the south, so pasta is more expensive.

For example, dumplings are eaten as dishes here.

A few years ago, some people would cook a bowl of vermicelli mixed with soy sauce and lard, put it in the middle of the table as a dish, and eat it with rice.

For these reasons, when many people go to town, they must eat pasta. Whether it’s steamed buns, fried dough sticks, or wonton noodles, it’s not considered a trip to town if they don’t eat some pasta.

But Shi Zhen bought dried noodles mainly because Guan Baiyu likes to eat pasta.

When the two lived together, if he didn't go home to eat, Guan Baiyu would like to toss and eat all kinds of pasta, of course the one he ate the most was dried noodles.

"Shall we mix noodles or soup noodles tonight?" Shi Xinghuo was also very interested in dried noodles.

Shi Zhendao: "Mix the noodles with the marinade I saved before and you can eat it." The marinade of the pork head meat is very strong, and it is delicious when used to mix the noodles. Cut some pork head meat on top... Guan Baiyu and Shi Xinghuo must like it.

Shi Zhen bought dried noodles because it cooks faster than rice. He was tired and hungry, and he wanted to eat hot food quickly.

He put the noodles into the pot, added some vegetables, and when the noodles were ready, he scooped them up and mixed them in marinade, and ate two large bowls in one go.

Shi Xinghuo also ate two big bowls, and even Guan Baiyu, who had the smallest appetite, ate much more than usual.

After eating, Shi Zhen continued to stew the pig's head - he wanted to earn money as soon as possible.

Guan Baiyu's little grandma came over when Shi Zhen was stewing the pig's head last night, and tonight...

Not long after Shi Zhen started to stew, several people came.

Today, Guan Baiyu's house has stewed the pig's head for almost a day. Many people coming and going smell the aroma. Now that they come here, they just want to see what is delicious.

Many people still want to buy some back.
