atypical rebirth

Although his blood went up and down because of the demolition, Meng Zheng still remembered the main purpose of today.

They went to Liu Jian's house without much delay.

Liu Jian's house has only one bungalow and a small dilapidated courtyard. The whole color is gray and the courtyard door is stained with rust.This bungalow of about 100 square meters is the dining room, living room and bedroom of the Liu family.The kitchen is built next to the wall in the yard, and the side is ventilated, which is considered an illegal building.In addition, there is a utility room of less than two square meters that is also an illegal building.The toilet is [-] meters away, which is a public toilet, which is very inconvenient.

The room is too small, even if the family tidied it up diligently, it still looks disorganized.

As soon as Liu Jian entered the door, he called his parents and said, "My classmate is here."

Liu's father and Liu's mother were shocked, and after the shock, they were at a loss.

Except for the girl Bi Xiaotian who occasionally came to visit Liu's house with her grandmother who worked in the neighborhood committee, Liu Jian never brought his classmates back.How should this be entertained?Will the classmates laugh at Liu Jian?Liu's father was born with a disability, and Liu's mother had plaster casts on her legs, which made her unable to walk.Liu's father was sitting in a chair doing handicrafts, and Liu's mother was lying down and doing handicrafts. After hearing what his son said, they all wanted to stand up immediately.

Meng Zheng followed Liu Jian into the room, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said, "Hello, uncle and aunt. I'm Liu Jian's classmate. My name is Meng Zheng. Don't get up now. We have a good relationship with Liu Jian, so don't be so polite." .”

Shen Duqing was last. His mouth was not as sweet as Meng Zheng's, but he said in a good temper, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I am also Liu Jian's classmate. My name is Shen Duqing."

Liu's father and Liu's mother were in a daze.These two kids look great.They were a little poor in language, and they didn't know how to describe the two children for a while, but they felt inferior in their hearts.

Mother Liu is dumb.Liu's father rubbed his hands together uneasily, and said, "Kangkang, pour your classmate a glass of water."

Kangkang is Liu Jian's nickname.This room was too small, after Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing squeezed in, there was no place to turn around in the room.Meng Zheng reckoned that Liu Jian slept on the bed board on the left, so he hurriedly pulled Shen Duqing to sit down next to the edge of the bed, and the space in the room seemed a little bigger.Meng Zheng gave Liu Jian a look.

Liu Jian quickly talked about the tea eggs.

Liu's father and Liu's mother listened fascinated.

Frankly speaking, maybe they don't necessarily think that this business can really come true in their hearts, but they are looking forward to it with all their heart.What Meng Zheng gave them was not only an idea, but also a hope.

Father Liu's eyes were red, and he kept wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Seeing this, Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing couldn't help feeling sour.

Mother Liu said ahhh twice, and then gestured with her fingers.This is not an authentic dumb language, so Mother Liu naturally has no chance to learn dumb language.But Liu Jian, as her son, must be able to understand her gestures.Liu Jian translated to Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing: "My mother said, I don't know how to thank you. She said, you are living Bodhisattvas."

Liu Jian felt a little ashamed, and the reason for the shame was naturally not because his mother couldn't speak, but because of the description of "living Bodhisattva".They are high school students, and high school students certainly don't like feudal superstitions.Liu Jian was afraid that Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing would not accept the term "living Bodhisattva".However, his mother can only praise people like this.

Meng Zheng quickly said: "Auntie, you think too highly of us. How about we start cooking now?"

Don't be polite or sensational, roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Liu's father put on his cane and went to the kitchen.There is no gas stove in their kitchen, only a small stove that burns briquettes.While Liu's father was burning the stove, Liu Jian took out the only chair in the house and put it at the kitchen door, then lifted his mother from the bed and put it in the chair so that she could watch from the sidelines.

Meng Zheng took out the recipe and raw materials for cooking tea eggs, and everyone gathered around the small stove to cook the first pot of tea eggs.Mainly Liu's father was cooking, Meng Zheng was talking about the precautions, Liu's mother and Liu Jian were trying their best to memorize.

They plan to cook thirty pieces in this pot first.

The first few steps didn’t take much time. When it came to the last step, Meng Zheng said: “Then boil it on a low heat for an hour. After an hour, turn off the stove, but don’t take out the eggs. Let them soak in the broth overnight, and it should taste really good the next day."

Tea eggs are really not difficult to make, as long as the raw materials are in place, it is easy to cook.

Seeing that a pot of tea leaves and eggs was about to be cooked, the three members of the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief.

While they were busy, someone knocked on the courtyard door.Everyone looked back and saw an old lady with short hair standing at the door.Liu Jian quickly stood up and called for someone, and then introduced to Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing: "This is Grandma Fu, the director of our neighborhood committee. It is Bi Xiaotian's grandma. Grandma Fu, this is my high school classmate."

Grandma Fu smiled and said, "What are you cooking? I can smell it from afar."

Liu Jian hurriedly said that they wanted to do the tea egg business.

Grandma Fu said very happily: "This is a good thing! In this way, my family has a tricycle, which I bought a long time ago, and it is no longer needed. It is locked in the yard all day. I will lend it to you first. .”

This solved another big difficulty for the Liu family.

Doing business definitely requires a tricycle.Among other things, the stove and pot need to be placed on a tricycle, and then pushed to the place where things are sold. If there is no tricycle, it will be very inconvenient.

In addition, the Liu family is facing another difficulty.Father Liu's legs and feet are not good, and he can't ride a tricycle himself. Even if he has a tricycle, he still needs someone to push him to the place where things are sold, and then pick him up when they are sold out.If Liu's mother hadn't been injured, she could have done it, or if Liu Jian didn't stay, he could have done it too, but now he needs to find someone else.

Grandma Fu pondered how to solve this matter.Father Liu gritted his teeth and said, "I can ride a bike with one foot, but my left foot is fine. I'll practice more these two days and try to improve my skills. Don't bother others."

It is true that one foot can ride a tricycle, but it will be harder.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Grandma Fu's face, Father Liu smiled wryly and said, "Director Fu, you have helped us enough, and I have always been very grateful, but we have to know what is good or bad, and we can't give you all the time. Cause trouble. The child's fucking legs... Well, it will take several months to raise, I can't trouble you for several months as soon as I trouble you. I will work hard on my own, and I will definitely overcome it."

Shen Duqing wanted to persuade him again, but Meng Zheng pulled him back, gave Father Liu a thumbs up, and said, "Uncle, you are so good! People with perseverance can't learn it! Uncle, you should practice hard in the past two days." Cars. The business won’t start right away, and we still need to help you supply the raw materials. When we get the raw materials, you will definitely be able to practice your car skills.”

Father Liu couldn't help showing a smile at Meng Zheng.

Liu Jian also gave Meng Zheng a grateful smile.

It was too late after all this work.It was time for Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing to go home.The Liu family stood at the gate of the yard to see them off.Meng Zheng looked back, the Liu family's house was still dusty, but there was color in the Liu family's eyes.He waved at Liu Jian's family and said, "Uncles and aunts, go in, it's windy at night."

Liu's father and Liu's mother waved vigorously.

After leaving the village in the city, Meng Zheng began to think about demolition again.

Facing the cool night wind, Meng Zheng's mind suddenly cleared up.

Because of the 300 million that was dropped by the butterfly, Meng Zheng never knew that his rebirth was a backward timeline, and he thought he was reborn in a parallel time and space.Then, a question popped up in his mind.Since it is a parallel time and space, will the houses here be demolished?Don't lose it like that 300 million, right?

Shen Duqing didn't know Meng Zheng's worry, and asked: "The big guy Liu Jian said has six houses in his hands. I don't know if he plans to sell them all. If he wants to sell them all, you won't be able to afford six houses, right? "

"I definitely can't eat it." Meng Zheng said.If he is sure about demolition, as long as the person surnamed Yuan wants to sell, he will find a way to eat all of them.But the problem is, he is not sure if this place will be demolished now.

Things like urban planning, it stands to reason that there will not be much change.

But what if the leadership at the decision-making level changes?Different leaders will definitely come up with different development plans. If the leader of this time and space moves the development plan of the village in the city to more than ten or twenty years later...he is now eating so many houses in one go, he will be choked to death .The money that needs to be spent to buy a house is not small money after all!

Shen Duqing continued: "If you can't eat it, I'll eat two sets."

"Ah? Wait, what do you mean, you also want to buy a house here..." Meng Zheng wanted to cry without tears, "What if my premonition is wrong? It's fine if I lose money, I'm still hurting you." Are you losing money with me?"

Shen Duqing looked at Meng Zheng in surprise, shook his head and said, "If I lose money, what does it have to do with you? Investment, there must be a certain chance of failure. Even the richest man in the world dare not say Is my investment sure to make a profit?” After thinking for a while, he said, “Actually, I also think that the area of ​​Liu Jian’s house will be demolished. Ruiyang City has been expanding outwards, and I don’t believe the government will keep such a large piece of land. Need not."

Seeing what Meng Zheng wanted to say, Shen Duqing said again: "Ever since you reminded me last time that I can invest the money in a house, I have been thinking about this issue. I am indeed afraid of losing money, so I decided to leave my parents to My money is divided into two parts, one part is kept in the bank, and it is reserved for Feizhuo. The other part is invested, and if the investment loses, it will be counted on me. One is divided into two, I have half, and the other half, it is my elder brother who made money for him."

In short, the loss is Shen Duqing's personal, and the profit is shared equally by Shen Duqing and his brother.

Such a good brother, where can I find a second one in the whole day!

Meng Zheng looked at Shen Duqing blankly.He thought that Shen Duqing was following his passion, but in fact Shen Duqing knew it clearly.This child who he took care of as a child seemed very reliable at this moment!

"What are you looking at me for?" Shen Duqing coughed lightly.

"No, nothing." Meng Zheng said.

The two looked at each other, then turned away their eyes as if nothing had happened, and turned to look at the long and short shadows under the street lamp.

Meng Zheng thought to himself, the child has grown up, and this spontaneous sense of relief is really irresistible.

However, Shen Duqing inexplicably felt a slight heat in the base of his ears.

The next day, Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing got up very early and arrived at Liu's house before seven o'clock.

Grandma Fu has already delivered her family's tricycle, and Father Liu has wiped the car very clean.They loaded the tools onto the tricycle.It was the weekend, and there was no one at the entrance of the study, so they planned to go to the Children's Palace for a trial sale.

"We have to name the tea eggs we sell," Shen Duqing said.

"What's the name? Liu family tea eggs?" Liu Jian asked.He and his parents are very nervous at the moment.

Shen Duqing looked around, found a piece of cardboard, cut it a little, then took out a black marker pen from his pocket, and wrote the words "No. [-] Scholar Tea Egg" on the paper.His handwriting is very beautiful.

Shen Duqing handed the cardboard to Liu Jian: "You have been admitted to Yahe High School, which is the best high school in the city, and you will be able to get a copy in the future. There is no problem with your tea eggs being called 'Zhuangyuan Tea Eggs' .”

Liu Jian's face turned red: "I, how could I..."

"There are a lot of snacks at the gate of the school, but they don't have a famous name. How do they stand out?" Shen Duqing asked.

The matter is settled like this, the tea eggs sold by Liu's father are called No. [-] tea eggs.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Children's Palace, it was just a little after eight o'clock.People come and go at the gate of the Children's Palace.Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing originally wanted to sell for the Liu family, but were stopped by Liu Jian.Now Liu Jian dared to make fun of Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing, saying: "You guys are so handsome, if you stand there selling tea eggs, customers will gather around you without yelling, it won't help to train my father. Let my dad call for the sale first."

There is a grain of truth in this statement.If Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing were in charge of selling eggs, within a few days, the urban legend of "Pan An with tea eggs" would spread here.So, they sat by the flower bed at the entrance of the Children's Palace and watched.

Liu Jian helped his father and was responsible for bagging the tea eggs.

At first, Liu's father couldn't yell out, so he fanned the pot vigorously with a fan, and the fragrance was released.The name "Zhuangyuan Tea Egg" is very useful, and parents immediately stopped in front of their stall.The mother paid for an egg for her son, looked up and saw the school uniform on Liu Jian, and said, "Hey, from Yahe High School?"

Liu Jian himself was a little embarrassed, but Liu's father said proudly: "This is my son, who attended Yahe High School this year."

The mother smiled and said, "No wonder it's called the No. [-] Scholar Tea Egg. Not bad, boss, your son's future will definitely not be bad."

In less than half an hour, all thirty tea eggs were sold.

This business can be done!

Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing discussed with Liu Jian while sending Liu's father home, "We have to hurry up and finish the supply of raw materials. I will call my father later and ask him to buy tea from his hometown. Let's send it over. Liu Jian, you and Shen Duqing should go to the condiment wholesaler immediately and ask about the wholesale of condiments. I'll go to a chicken farm in the suburbs to discuss the purchase of eggs." Because Shen Duqing can't take a car, Meng Zheng They arranged for him and Liu Jian to run around the city, while he himself planned to visit the suburbs.

Shen Duqing answered: "Liu Jian, let's go to the wholesaler later. If the price is right, we can directly buy a few boxes of condiments and bring them back. I'll lend you some money first. You don't have to be burdened, as long as you The family’s small business can be started, and you will be able to pay back the money soon.” Shen Duqing can use much more money than ordinary children, and if he lends Liu Jian five or six hundred dollars, he doesn’t need to disturb his uncle’s family people.

Everyone split up immediately.Liu's father went back to practice driving.Shen Duqing and Liu Jian went to buy seasonings. This task was relatively easy for them, but it took a little effort to bargain.Meng Zheng's task was the most difficult to handle.

The Liu family couldn't afford it. Both Liu Jian and his parents believed that the business should come gradually.Therefore, they plan to sell one hundred tea eggs every day, and then slowly increase according to the actual situation.But for chicken farms, even if Meng Zheng deliberately found a small and medium-sized chicken farm, the business of [-] eggs a day was too small.

The person in charge does not intend to accept such a small business.

Meng Zheng said: "We plan to use the eggs from your farm to make tea eggs and sell them at the gate of the school. We can advertise for you on the tricycle with the words 'Chunfu Farm Eggs, Don't Worry Eggs', and the parents of the students will pick them up. You can see it when you are a child, and we sell eggs at the entrance of the Children’s Palace on weekends, and the flow of people there is even greater. So, can’t you really sell our eggs cheaply every day?” It is estimated that the person in charge has not seen it before Let's go through Meng Zheng's way of negotiating, and Meng Zheng is happy to talk about it.But the person in charge remained unmoved.

This chicken farm is not big, and all the employees are only five or six people, all of whom are relatives.If it's that kind of large chicken farm, the person in charge must act in accordance with the rules and regulations, and Meng Zheng is completely hopeless.

This kind of small and medium-sized chicken farm can still be accommodated. The person in charge was so entangled by Meng Zheng that he finally spit out: "At least [-] eggs. You order [-] eggs every day, and we can give you the lowest price."

Five hundred is too much, how could the Liu family use so many eggs?

Another idea suddenly popped up in Meng Zheng's mind.

The eggs from this chicken farm are directly supplied to the vegetable market. The wholesale price given by the chicken farm and the retail price in the vegetable market can vary by [-] cents per catty when there is more, and can also differ by [-] cents or [-] cents when there is less .Therefore, Father Liu, who gets eggs at the lowest price, can sell raw eggs at the same time as tea eggs. As long as he controls his price to always be a dime or a few cents cheaper than the vegetable market, the eggs in his hand will definitely be sold. go out.

Primary school students generally need to be picked up by their parents.Compared with parents who are busy at work, it is more common for grandparents to pick up their children to school.For the older generation, a dime is money. As long as they know that Liu's father sells it cheaply, they will definitely be willing to buy some eggs back after delivering their children.

In this way, Father Liu's demand for eggs will increase.

But this business is not big.Because no one will buy eggs every day, they will always have to eat eggs for a while when they buy them back, right?Moreover, the profit of raw eggs is too low. If the Liu family wants to make money, they have to rely on tea eggs.

Meng Zheng was thinking, if raw eggs and tea eggs are sold together, five hundred eggs a day can still be consumed.

In the end, Meng Zheng and the person in charge of the chicken farm made a contract like this. In the first two months, the chicken farm provided Liu's family with [-] to [-] eggs every day.Every day at the chicken farm, someone sent eggs to the vegetable market, and Liu's father went to the vegetable market to pick up the eggs.Two months later, either the contract would be terminated, or the Liu family's eggs would be increased to [-].

The reason why the person in charge is willing to give convenience in the first two months is because Meng Zheng learned that the person in charge has two children in junior high school at home, and he immediately said that his high school entrance examination scores ranked third in the city, and he was willing to make a copy of his complete set of notes from junior high school. Here are the pieces.The person in charge let go.

Two months is enough for Liu's father to know how many eggs he consumes every day. If he can reach [-] or more, he will continue to cooperate with this chicken farm. They figured out a way.

Because he wasted a lot of time in the chicken farm, it was already evening when Meng Zheng hurried back to school.

Yahe High School stipulates that students must arrive at school before noon on Sunday.So Meng Zheng was late.In fact, Liu Jian and Shen Duqing were also late, but they arrived earlier, and Liu Jian ran to the head teacher to explain the reason.

It's only been a few days, and Liu Jian's feeling is different.He talked about the specific situation at home very frankly: "...They are all here to help me. Meng Zheng is already on the bus back to the city."

Teacher Xiao Zhou suddenly felt that he didn't care enough about the students, but he didn't expect Liu Jian's family to be so difficult.

Liu Jian said with a serious face: "Teacher, the school has given me enough help. Not only did it not charge my tuition, but it also paid me living expenses every month. You don't have to worry about me, my family will get better little by little. of."

The young teacher Xiao Zhou was heartbroken, and he was sincerely proud of his three students.

After Liu Jian left, Teacher Xiao Zhou couldn't help but make an internal call during the self-study time and express a few words to Shen Duqing's grandfather.Their teachers often communicate with each other, as long as some words are not heard by the students, it will be fine.

Only then did the Xu family know what Meng Zheng and Shen Duqing were busy with these days.

The Xu family is very proud.During dinner at night, the Xu family sat together to discuss this matter.

Teacher Xu said: "It was really right to let Ah Qing and Xiao Meng get to know each other at the beginning. Ah Qing used to be indifferent to his classmates, but now he can do so much for his classmates."

Zhou Peili said unhappily: "Ah Qing is a good boy."

"I didn't say he wasn't a good boy. But you can't deny Xiao Meng's positive influence on Ah Qing." Teacher Xu said.

Grandpa Shen smiled and said, "They're all good kids, they're all good kids."

Shen Feizhuo listened quietly, his eyeballs rolled around, wondering what he was thinking.

A few days later, when the champion tea eggs appeared at the entrance of the elementary school, Shen Feizhuo immediately asked his grandmother to buy six of them.Liu's father didn't know that this was Shen Duqing's younger brother, so he happily packed him in a bag.

"It needs to be packed separately."

"Okay, okay, pack them separately." Father Liu's service attitude is very good.

Shen Feizhuo took the tea eggs to class, distributed the tea eggs to the six girls who usually had the best time with him, and said, "This is the No. eat!"

Girls are happy and boys are jealous.

The students in other classes don't know, but anyway, in Shen Feizhuo's class, when they want to eat tea eggs in the future, they will always look for Papa Liu's stall.The No. [-] Scholar Tea Egg, Shen Feizhuo's favorite tea egg, you deserve it.
