After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

"In order to feel the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, I decided to eat breakfast outside. It's mainly for convenience. After eating too much meat and fish, I also have to eat some vegetables and tofu!"

Since I had a lot of things to buy today, I drove out two cars and also brought a special box to carry things. If I come across delicious food in some corner that the car can't fit in, it will be much more convenient with this box.

I found a street with a lot of traffic and a lot of miscellaneous goods, parked the car, found a breakfast shop, sat down, and had breakfast.

Speaking of Xinghai City, there is a little gap compared to those second- and third-tier cities, but in terms of population, it is simply surpassing them. Xinghai City, a fourth-tier city, has a population of over one million. Except for a few civil servants who have only one child, most families in this city have two or three or more children.

In fact, many facilities here are not very complete. But for those of us who have not been to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Xinghai City is prosperous enough. How can we imagine the prosperous scenes and consumption concepts of other first-tier cities?

The breakfast shop where we are sitting down to eat is surrounded by a large number of retired elderly people who are playing Go or cards. Even in such a cold day, the flow of people here is really not small. It happens to be the Spring Festival soon, and there are all kinds of people bringing snacks, selling agricultural products, selling clothes and trousers, buying fruits, vegetables and meat. There are also Mongolian doctors and Miao doctors selling various Chinese medicines, as well as some Xinjiang dairy products, camel milk powder and the like.

This is also the reason why I like to come to this place. There is not only the bustling atmosphere here, but also a relatively complete range of things you want to buy. This place is also the most prosperous old town in the city center of Xinghai City.

"And I quite like their stinky tofu."

"In our southwest region, there are several indispensable snacks that everyone likes to eat since childhood. One is stinky tofu, two is bacon, three is zheergen, four is sauerkraut soup, and the last one is fermented black beans. If you are from the southwest, these things have accompanied you since you were born."

“The taste of your hometown is something you will never forget no matter where you go. Even if you have eaten a lot of exotic delicacies, there will always be a place for it somewhere in your heart.”

"Look, this early in the morning, every breakfast shop is full of people sitting in front of it, and the most popular snack stall here is grilled stinky tofu."

"For us people in the southwest, we can eat stinky tofu whenever we want, morning, noon or evening. But other people may not understand. Eating stinky tofu so early in the morning is too strong!"

"All I can say is: the world is so big that there are all kinds of things. Every city and every place has its own eating habits. Maybe your eating habits are also weird in the eyes of others!"

"After drinking a bowl of soy milk, my whole body immediately warmed up. I ate stinky tofu leisurely, chopped the roots of the bean curd and added some chili peppers. The taste was absolutely amazing. This life was really comfortable."

"Being able to sit here and leisurely eat breakfast, listening to the hawking next to me, and everyone talking about what to buy for the New Year? Who brought their girlfriend home for the New Year? Listening to all the gossip about the neighbors, it really goes well with the meal and makes me feel intoxicated. With this lively scene, I ate breakfast for more than an hour."

“You are on the bridge looking at the scenery”

"Look at the scenery, people are looking at you from upstairs."

"The bright moon decorates your window"

"You decorate other people's dreams."

"While we were listening to other people's gossip with great interest, others were also staring at us. In their eyes, our family was all handsome and dazzling. In the vast crowd, we could be spotted as special at a glance."

"We are eating other people's gossip and scandals, while others are looking at us and enjoying ourselves."

"We are used to these stares now. We are all so pretty and handsome, so what's wrong with letting others look at us? It won't cost us a thing. Besides, don't I also like to look at handsome guys and beautiful girls?"

"It is human nature to love beauty. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the appearance of this person that many people who chase after celebrities fall in love with in the first place?"

"Beautiful appearances are all alike, but interesting souls are rare to find."

"But what I want to say is that only if you have a good-looking appearance will people want to know your inner self, and to be honest, this world is a world of appearance-obsessed people. People will be more patient with beautiful women."

"From ancient times to the present, the difference between humans and beauties has been: archaeologists have unearthed a corpse of Sleeping Beauty, who was later named Xin Zhui, and the others are called ancient corpses."

Is this discrimination against ancient corpses? Why do we treat them differently? We have all been buried underground for thousands of years. Why should we have a name after we are dug out? We can only be called that ancient corpse.

Not to mention some of the differential treatments that followed, it really made me sad to hear and cry to hear.

"When you were alive, you were Xi Shi, and I was Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi. Now that you are dead, you are the Sleeping Beauty with a name, and I am an ancient corpse unearthed by someone. Don't I deserve a name?"

"What a fucked up world! From Pangu creating the world to Goddess Nuwa making humans out of clay, there has been a distinction between beauties and ordinary people. Isn't it said that God loves everyone? Then why did you, Goddess Nuwa, carefully make those beauties? And we were made piece by piece by piece by you using a rope to throw mud?"

"So the world's aesthetic standards have never changed. Even when dynasties change, people still remember Daji and other women from the Shang Dynasty. In each subsequent dynasty, there were only four great beauties. Who can still remember who was the second, third, and fourth most beautiful?"

Even those ancient beauties who were called talented women, you see, compared to some people nowadays who say: This person is really beautiful, then she is really beautiful, those who are average-looking are praised for being cute and having good temperament, those who are ugly are praised for their parents’ good birth, etc. Anyway, there are many kinds of things, whether they are beautiful or not? It is obvious at a glance, but it is just to say that beauty is a stepping stone, which can give you a plus point in many things.

But beauty is also a double-edged sword. If you only have beauty but no ability, it will bring you trouble. But if you have both good looks, talent and ability, you are the real winner.

Let's go!

He said after seeing that everyone had finished eating.

Holding a basket in my hand, I walked around along the way and bought a lot of delicious and fun things. In a short while, the basket was full.

"We walked to the door of a big tobacco shop and said to my dad, 'Let's go in and buy some New Year gifts.'"

Sure! Everyone walked in. Such a large group of people? They took up a lot of space wherever they went. But for the merchants, they were all happy. It was incredible. They were all the God of Wealth!

What would you like to buy? the boss asked.

"Dad looked at me. After all, it was me who suggested coming in. They never bought these things for New Year's greetings in previous years. They always bought some sugar from a small store in town and added their own bacon to it and gave it out as New Year's gifts. This was a treatment only given to my mother-in-law's family. Other families only gave some sugar or bacon. Who would go to a special tobacco and liquor store to buy cigarettes, alcohol and other New Year's gifts?"

"Looking at the looks everyone was giving me, I twitched my lips unnaturally and said to the boss: Boss, do you have Moutai? Luzhou Laojiao?"

Yes, yes, sister, don't worry! We have a complete range of tobacco and alcohol at home. Whether you want expensive or cheap, I have them all.

"When I heard the boss say this, I asked him jokingly: Boss, are you not guaranteeing the authenticity of your Moutai?"

"The boss said angrily: Why don't you guarantee the authenticity? It really can't be more authentic. Why don't you ask around? My store has been open for more than ten years. If I didn't have some strength, how could I still be here today if I sold fake goods? You, sister? If not because you are pretty, you are ruining the place! It's almost New Year's Day!"

"Then I feel much more relieved."

I said to the boss: "Boss, calm down. We bought New Year gifts, and they are all gifts for people. If the gifts are real, it's fine. But if they are fake, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of others?" For those who are well-known, if such a bad thing happens, wouldn't it make people hate you?

What's more, we bought a lot of things this time, and we came in because your store is quite big. As he spoke, a sense of oppression was revealed from his body.

Damn it, who did I offend? Why did this little girl have a dangerous aura that made him speak weakly, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would lose his head.

How can this be the God of Wealth? This is the God of Plague, who has come to visit. I feel bitter.

This vague danger, I just sell some cigarettes and alcohol, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Fortunately, what I sell are all genuine goods, otherwise I would really be in trouble today.

Thinking of this, I felt more confident.

"Looking at the changes in the boss, it seems that what he said is true."

Boss, "Give me ten boxes of Moutai, five boxes of Luzhou Laojiao, ten cartons of soft Zhonghua, ten cartons of hard Zhonghua, and a few cartons of other cigarettes priced between 20 yuan and 50 yuan a pack."

"When I said that, not only the boss was shocked, but also the boss's wife and my parents were all shocked."

"My goodness, is this true?"

My dad also hurriedly took my hand and asked: Yueyue, why did you buy so many cigarettes and alcohol? Even if it was a gift, you couldn't give them all away! What's more, these things are not cheap! Even if the family is rich, you can't do this.

Their daughter is really extravagant when it comes to buying things now.

"Looking at everyone's confused expressions, I said: Don't worry! My cigarettes and alcohol won't expire, and things like Moutai become more valuable as time goes by, and can be considered a collection. Besides, the things I bought today are the most expensive, and there are some that are reasonably priced. Don't forget to wish those people next to our villa a happy new year. Do you think they will not come to visit us during the Chinese New Year? We have to have some things ready at home! And things like Zhonghua cigarettes and Moutai are all above the price, so they are all good gifts for you."

"If you can't deliver all the goods, just keep them at home! You won't lose money. You can drink and smoke them too, so why worry about it?"

"That's right, I think. No one is trying to stop me anymore."

As for those important people you know, you can't just give them some bacon or sugar as New Year's greetings like you do in the countryside. Isn't that an slap in their face?

"The types of cigarettes and alcohol I want are all at a ceiling. Even decades later, this is still the ceiling. Moreover, Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes are very expensive now. I don't know that in this era, rich people give Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes as gifts, and other people don't even look at them.

This is the trend of people at this time.”

"The boss said: Sister, can you make the decision? Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes are not cheap. A single bottle of Feitian Moutai costs several thousand, not to mention that you need ten boxes. Zhonghua soft cigarettes cost 60 yuan a pack, and hard Zhonghua costs 50 yuan. You need ten packs of both. All these things you need will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"Sure enough, at any time, good cigarettes and alcohol are not cheap. Once upon a time, when I wanted to buy a bottle of Moutai to give to my father, I looked at the wallet in my pocket and sighed. It was a luxury to be able to buy a bottle. After all, a bottle of Moutai costs thousands of yuan, which is really too expensive for me. But now, buying Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes is just like buying cabbage and drinking water. For me, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be spent in the blink of an eye. I am no longer the pauper who looks at Moutai but doesn't have a penny.

"Buy it, it's all ready."

"As soon as I heard this, I felt really happy. This money was spent for real. It was so comfortable."

"After confirming, the boss started to flatter her. She said, 'What a generous girl! This family is really amazing. They really dote on their children. They are also really rich. They spent hundreds of thousands on cigarettes and alcohol without even blinking an eye.'"

"It's really grand."

In all the time since the store was opened, there has never been a rich person who is so generous and magnanimous. This expenditure is really huge.

He was so lucky today that he actually met such a super rich family. They were able to spend hundreds of thousands of winnings to buy cigarettes and alcohol as gifts. Their assets must be at least hundreds of millions!

"I accidentally overheard them talking earlier. Since they all live in villas, I thought about it. In the entire Xinghai City, there is only one villa, Xinghai Manor. Is it the ceiling of the entire Xinghai City? The people living there are either rich or noble. If you want to buy a villa there, how can you get it without some skills?"

"Then what kind of existence is our family living in the villa?"

He said so! As soon as this family entered the door, they felt extraordinary and noble. How could ordinary people compare to them?

Thinking of this, he became more cautious in his tone and attitude, for he was afraid that he had done something wrong and had offended such a big shot, and might end up in trouble if he was not careful.
