Rebirth: Return to the 80s

Guan Yuan and the others are making plans for the braised pork in the future, and the Li family in Yun County is also very lively about the braised pork.When Xiao Zhang brought the stewed meat back to Li's house in a nervous mood, Mr. Li was playing chess with his old friend.Seeing Xiao Zhang coming back, he asked eagerly, "Xiao Zhang, did you buy the fish?"

Xiao Zhang said with a bitter face: "Mr. Li, those two children said that there is no fish in the river, and they sell stewed meat instead. Why don't you try it? This stewed meat is very delicious."

Mr. Li looked disgusted when he heard the words: "We haven't eaten braised pork yet! Those time-honored brands in the capital are not like that."

Hearing this, the old man on the opposite side said to Xiao Zhang: "Bring me that stewed pork, and I'll taste it, and I'll take this bite." old front.

Mr. Zhao took a bite, and after a meal, he put down his chopsticks calmly and said to Mr. Li, "You really don't want to eat it? Then all the meat will be mine!"

Mr. Li glanced suspiciously at the old man opposite him: "You old ghost, I still can't bear to have such a little stewed meat? It's all yours, it's yours!"

Zhao Lao hurriedly stood up and asked Xiao Zhang to bring out the stewed meat: "I can't play chess today, I have to go back to eat."

Mr. Li kept him: "Let's eat here, you never know how to be polite, why do you know how to be polite today!" Mr. Zhao laughed a few times without speaking, turned around and left, his steps were so fast that he was close to running.

Mr. Li muttered: "This guy is getting more and more weird." At this time, a child's happy voice sounded at the door of the house: "Grandpa, I'm back."

Hearing this voice, Li Lao smiled more creases on his face, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the door and hugged the little guy: "Grandpa's good grandson is back, are you good today?"

The little guy nodded hurriedly: "I'm really good today." The woman behind heard that: "Dad, don't listen to him, this kid ran away while I wasn't paying attention when he let go of his hand on the street. I have a good meal”

Mr. Li heard the words: "You are an adult who can't even look down on a child, so you have the nerve to say it." Fu felt that this was really dangerous, and said to the child: "Xiaoxin, you can't do this again in the future, you have to listen to your mother." do you know"

The child nodded simply: "I will definitely listen to my mother in the future. Grandpa, I ate delicious meat today. I bought it for you. Mom, give me some quickly."

The young woman reluctantly tore a small piece of stewed meat and handed it to the little boy, who took it and fed it to Old Li: "Grandpa, eat!"

The little grandson is filial, and Mr. Li raised his beard happily: "Okay, okay, I will eat, I will eat." He opened his mouth and ate the meat, and then Mr. Li stopped, this meat!Asked his daughter-in-law: "Yuling, where did you buy this meat?"

Wu Yuling replied: "There is a stall set up by two children, and it is at the free market."After listening to Mr. Li, he asked Xiao Zhang: "Did you also buy it from those two children?" Xiao Zhang nodded.

Mr. Li slapped his thigh: "I said, why did this old ghost Zhao leave so early today? He wanted to confuse me with his feelings." Xiao Zhang twitched his lips when he heard this.Looking back, I saw Mr. Li said to Li Xin with a smile on his face: "My dear grandson, let grandpa eat those meats!" "

The other families who bought the stewed meat all rushed to finish the stewed meat.

Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu didn't know this, so today they marinated about 30 catties of meat just like yesterday.Unexpectedly, as soon as the stall was set up, it was surrounded by a group of people. You two catties and I three catties. They rushed to buy all the stewed pork, and it didn't sell for an hour.

Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan knew that this was their stewed meat to gain word of mouth.

The two returned to the pork stall and told the butcher that they wanted two pig heads, and the other pig ears and stomachs would cost twice as much.The uncle who sold the meat looked at the two children as if looking at a diorama: "I said that you bought the meat and sold it again. It's wrong to be a second-hand dealer." "

Zhao Shenggu laughed: "Uncle, we bought it back for braised pork. It's sold out today. I'll reserve some for you to try later."

The uncle butcher laughed: "You can talk, haha, today's meat is enough for you, but with so much meat, can you move your back?"

Zhao Shenggu said: "It's okay, I have great strength." The two of them bought the meat, bought some odds and ends and went home. After resting for a while, they started to stew the meat. When the sun went down, a big pot of stewed meat was also ready. up.

The two were lying on the kang, with the smell of meat lingering at the tip of their noses, Guan Yuan sighed contentedly: "Brother, I think this kind of life is very secure. "

Zhao Shenggu hugged Guan Yuan and put it on his body: "I think I will be at ease if you rely on me like this." Although what Zhao Shenggu said at this time did not mean that, Guan Yuan still had a big blush and put She buried her face in Zhao Shenggu's arms and said nothing shyly.

After a month like this, the stewed meat stalls of Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan have become famous in Yun County, and they can't buy it even if they go late, so people will line up early every day to buy it.

Zhao Shenggu watched the crowd become more motivated, he was in charge of cutting and weighing the meat, Guan Yuan was in charge of collecting the money, and the two cooperated tacitly.Now they have become the biggest customers at the meat stall, buying almost one hundred catties of meat every day.

It's just that when the business is good, it will always hinder other people's eyes. When Zhao Shenggu and the others went to sell braised pork the next day, they found that their stall had already been occupied.

Zhao Shenggu pulled Guan Yuan to the person occupying their booth, "Brother, I remember you weren't in this place yesterday, right?"

The middle-aged man snorted, "You don't care where I was yesterday, I'm willing to be here today, what can you do to me!"

Zhao Shenggu remained calm: "I've been setting up this booth here all the time, so you just quietly occupied it without saying a word, isn't it good!"

The middle-aged man laughed twice: "Boy, you said this booth is yours. Did you buy it? Would you agree to it if you called it?" In fact, the middle-aged man was right. There is no management fee, and there is no fixed booth.But it is obviously immoral to occupy someone else's booth without saying anything.

Zhao Shenggu also knew that it would be fruitless to argue with him, so he had to find a new stall to put the stewed meat on.Guan Yuan squinted his eyes, quietly flicked into his tofu, and then followed Zhao Shenggu to the new stall as if nothing had happened.

Although the change of stalls had a certain impact on the old customers, in the end it was only an hour's delay before all the braised pork was sold out.

When passing the middle-aged man selling tofu, several customers were arguing with the man: "How do you do business, this tofu is rotten!"

"That's right, this is really heartbreaking. Just because you added your tofu to a good fish, the whole pot of soup was poured out."

The man was eager to defend: "Why is it my fault, my tofu was ground today and it's still warm."

"If you don't believe me, eat and see for yourself"

The middle-aged man didn't believe in evil, took a bite by himself, his face changed several times, it was indeed something wrong with the tofu, so he had to humbly apologize and return all the money he had collected.

Guan Yuan looked relieved, but Zhao Shenggu walked over without changing his face.

After leaving the booth, Zhao Shenggu asked Guan Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, did you do it?" Although the question was random, Guan Yuan still knew what Zhao Shenggu was asking, and Guan Yuan nodded: "I did it." , Brother, do you think I shouldn't do this?"

Zhao Shenggu sighed: "There's no reason why you shouldn't do this. What I'm afraid of is that you didn't do it secretly enough. If you get caught, you'll be in trouble."

Guan Yuan didn't care: "I was careful enough when I did it, so I wouldn't get caught. Well, I know you're worried about me. I won't make a move easily in the future. That's fine, hehe."

Zhao Shenggu looked at Guan Yuan's exposed two rows of millet teeth, and burst out laughing: "It will be naughty." "Guan Yuan happily let Zhao Shenggu lead him away.

It is undeniable that he has "lived" for a long time, but he doesn't care. As long as he is in front of Zhao Shenggu, he doesn't mind being a child forever. Just be a child forever, that means there must be someone who can spoil him forever.

Zhao Shenggu was afraid that Guan Yuan would get tired from walking, so he carried Guan Yuan on his back and walked home slowly.Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two people stretched long, Guan Yuan leaned tightly on Zhao Shenggu's back, listening to him talk about his future plans.

"Xiaoyuan, I think we should set up a storefront in the county, so that we will have a fixed storefront, and things like today will not happen."

Guan Yuan nodded: "It is true that we should buy a house. The house is very cheap now, no matter how much it is, it is not too much, but I am worried that if we buy property now, the Guan family will definitely buy it and take a bite."

Hearing what Guan Yuan said, Zhao Shenggu also frowned. Indeed, the Guan family must get rid of it, otherwise there will be more arguing in the future.

"Brother, how about I go and add some medicine to the person in charge of the household registration, and they will do it naturally"

"Nonsense, I don't allow you to take risks, you can't do it alone behind my back, you know?" Zhao Shenggu said to Guan Yuan seriously.

"Understood," Guan Yuan replied wearily.

"Xiaoyuan, nothing is more important than you, understand, we'd rather take our time, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

Guan Yuan also knew that Zhao Shenggu was doing it for his own good, so he nodded: "En"

Both Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were thinking hard about how to leave the Guan family completely, but they didn't expect this opportunity to come soon.

It turned out that there were a lot of people buying stewed meat at Zhao Shenggu's stall, and they would always walk around the surrounding area, and the business of the surrounding stalls also improved a lot, but since Zhao Shenggu's stall was occupied by the tofu seller, the business of the surrounding stalls has also declined Followed by depression.This is unbearable, and the tofu sellers are often ridiculed by the surrounding stall owners.In the end, he had no choice but to invite Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan back.

Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were arranging the stewed meat, and Li Guofeng walked over with Mr. Zhao.

'How about it, let me say these two kids are not bad, right?" Mr. Li pointed to Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu and said to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao nodded after looking at it, "It's really good."

Although Mr. Zhao was less talkative than Mr. Li, he looked more kind. He said something to Zhao Shenggu kindly, and the two quickly became acquainted.

"Your name is Zhao Shenggu, and your brother's name is Guan Yuan. Aren't you blood brothers?" Elder Zhao asked Zhao Shenggu in surprise.

Zhao Shenggu nodded.

Mr. Zhao felt a little emotional, "The two of you are not brothers and you can rely on each other like this. It shows that you have a good heart. Today we went out to buy meat and took a walk. I bought five catties today. Lao Li, how much did you buy?"

Mr. Li snorted: "Who is as petty as you, I'll buy ten catties."

Zhao Shenggu cut the meat neatly.Guan Yuan rolled his eyes, "Grandpas, do you think my braised pork is delicious?"

Mr. Li always liked children, seeing Guan Yuan's cute smile, he quickly showed a big smile: "It's delicious, this is the best stewed pork I've ever eaten."

"Then if there is something more delicious, do you want to eat it?" Guan Yuan said sweetly.Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao looked at each other, "What else do you have to eat?"

"You go to my house as a guest, I will ask my brother to prepare delicious food for you"

Zhao Shenggu didn't know what Guan Yuan was going to do, but he knew that Guan Yuan must have his reasons for doing so, so he affirmed: "Yes, we live in Guanjiatun, not far from here, the scenery there is not bad, you can also Go and have a look, as for the cooking skills are not bad, if you go, you will naturally have a meal."

Now Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao are both interested: "Okay, let's go to Guanjiatun and try your handicraft by the way."

When Guan Yuan heard the words, he happily showed his two canine teeth. He could see that these two were kind people. If he went there and found out about two helpless children who were bullied by his family, what would they do? I hope they I can't guess wrong.

The stewed meat stall was doing a good business, and Mr. Li was also interested in seeing it, and even played a guest role as a cashier.When the stewed meat was sold out, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao followed Guan Yuan and the others to Guanjiatun.

Guanjiatun is surrounded by mountains, and the Moon River meanders through the village like a jade belt. Mr. Zhao, a scholar, can't help but become very poetic when he sees such a scene, and he recites a few poems intoxicated.

Mr. Li looked disgusted: "Okay, don't read your poor poems, my teeth are sore." Mr. Zhao glared: "What does an illiterate who doesn't know a lot know!"

Along the way, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li kept bickering. Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were used to it, so they didn't react much at the moment, and led them to the Guan family's courtyard.

Elder Zhao and Elder Li thought they were going to enter Guan's house, but Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu went straight back from the courtyard.Mr. Li hurriedly asked, "Little baby, this is not your home."

Guan Yuan shook his head, with a bitter face: "Our home is behind. "Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li saw that something was wrong now, and followed Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu with their mouths shut.

When I came to the backyard, I saw the stove outside, the quilt hanging on the rope between the two trees, and a vegetable field not far away. The vegetables in it have already grown, and it is gratifying to look at the green.

Although the place is small, the whole environment is clean and comfortable.

Zhao Shenggu invited the two old people to sit in the room, Guan Yuan was busy making tea for them, in order to achieve the goal, Guan Yuan spent a lot of money, adding a drop of spiritual spring water to each of the two cups of tea.

Mr. Zhao took a sip, and felt a refreshing feeling rushing straight to his head, with a long taste.Can't help squinting his eyes and exclaiming: "Good tea, good tea!"

Mr. Li is a rough man, and usually he doesn't like to criticize tea and recite poems, which are delicate things. He poured the tea into his mouth in one gulp, but no matter how rough he was, he could still drink this tea. It's really good. tea"

Zhao Laobai glanced at him: "The cow chews the peony!"

Old Li stared at him angrily, "Anyone like you will pretend to be gentle." When they were talking, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were already busy outside, and after a while, there was a tantalizing smell of vegetables. The old man was reserved, and walked out along the heel of the door, "Smell, oh, it's so fragrant." What Zhao Shenggu is cooking is a Northeast stew, and the dish is the newly grown cabbage.Then I made mapo tofu, braised pork, and stir-fried vegetables.The banquet started quickly, and the sun was just right at noon, so Zhao Shenggu put the small table he made outside.

Mr. Li took a bite and praised him. Later, he saw that Mr. Zhao ate more in silence than he did, and he stopped talking. They are all very clean.

After eating enough, Mr. Zhao could barely maintain his image, Mr. Li just spread out on the chair, basking in the warm sun, Mr. Li felt emotionally: "What a god you live these days."

But Mr. Li is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. After he recovered, he looked at Guan Yuan with a smile: "Tell me, little boy, why are you so hospitable today?"

Guan Yuan has already thought of a way to deal with it in his heart, so far, this old man Li is not bad.After brewing for a while, Guan Yuan sobbed and said, "Grandpa Li, please help me."

Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao looked at each other when they heard the words, "Tell me, what's the matter, aren't you guys living well, why do you want me to save you?"

At this time, Zhao Shenggu also understood Guan Yuan's plan, and said in detail about their situation in the Guan family: "Grandpa Li, Xiao Yuan really can't stay in the Guan family anymore, we just want a It belongs to my own home and is not disturbed by anyone. I know this matter is very troublesome, if you don’t want to help, it’s okay, I will slowly find a way by myself.”

"You think of a way yourself, what can you think of?" Elder Li asked Zhao Shenggu with great interest.Zhao Shenggu shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Take your time and there will always be a solution." Guan Yuan hugged Guan Yuan's thigh with tears in his eyes, and his shoulders twitched.

Mr. Zhao couldn't see it anymore, "Okay, Lao Li, you can help these two children, such obedient but with such a family, ah, it is also a hard life."

Mr. Li rolled his eyes at him: "How do you know that I won't help, you're the only one who can pretend to be a good person." Looking at Guan Yuan who was crying and crying, he said, "Okay, little boy, your brother will protect you." You are like an eyeball, and you are also a blessed one. I can indeed help you with this matter, but I still have to find out if it is what you said. If it is really done, how can you thank me? "

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shenggu quickly thanked Mr. Li: "Thank you, really, you can say anything, as long as it is something I can do."

Hearing this, Mr. Li snorted triumphantly at Mr. Zhao: "It's nothing, but if there is any new food in the future, you must be the first to try it for me."

Zhao Shenggu thought he was going to say something difficult, but he didn't expect it to be this, and immediately nodded hurriedly: "No problem, you are our great benefactor, you can take care of this small matter."

Guan Yuan also hurriedly wiped away his tears, and thanked Mr. Li: "Thank you, Grandpa Li."

Mr. Li couldn't help but pat Guan Yuan's head: "Well, be good."

After sitting for a while, the two old men wanted to go around Guanjiatun, to find out if what Zhao Shenggu said was true, but Guan Yuan and the others were winking and didn't follow, and when the mountain set in the afternoon, the two old men came back .

Both Li Lao and Zhao Lao looked ugly, Zhao Lao touched Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan, and sighed: "Son, you have suffered." Li Lao's life as a soldier, he felt more pity for Zhao Shenggu, a heroic descendant, "Don't worry, I will do this when I go back, come to my house when you finish selling the meat tomorrow."

Guan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best, and sincerely thanked the two old people in front of him.When Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan sent the two old people away and walked to the door of Guan's house, there was a lot of noise inside. Yang Xiucui was scolding Li Yuezhi and Zhao Xiulian for having heavy buttocks. The child took off and the dog jumped.

Both Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao shook their heads. Don't spoil two good children in such a family.

After seeing off Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu walked back slowly. Guan He was tired of hearing the quarrel in the room and walked out the door. When he saw Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan, he put on a smile and said, "Shenggu, it's been more than a month. The stewed meat you sell in the county is pretty good, right?"

Guan Yuan pretended not to hear, Zhao Shenggu snorted coldly, and led Guan Yuan away.Guan He, who is behind them, squinted his eyes and made you crazy, as long as you are still in this family, whatever money you earn will be given to you in due time.

After returning to the backyard and closing the door, Zhao Shenggu showed a smile: "Xiao Yuan, it's all right now, if Mr. Li can really move your household registration out, I can take you to another place." "

Seeing that Zhao Shenggu was so happy, Guan Yuan also laughed, but his heart was still not at ease. He had been alone for too long, so he didn't trust others very much in his heart, and everything depended on tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the two went to the county town as usual, and Xiao Zhang was waiting there early, "Mr. Li asked me to wait here for you." After he bought meat for Mr. Li, he bought a catty for himself with a heartbroken face.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang"

Once they got busy, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu didn't rest at all. Xiao Zhang saw that they were too busy, so he helped to weigh them. After two hours, all the stewed meat was sold out.

Xiao Zhang was in a hurry because it was the first time he did it, and he was sweating after he finished. "Shenggu, it seems that you are not too busy at ordinary times, why am I so tired after taking over?"

Zhao Shenggu laughed: "I'm proficient, Brother Zhang is naturally a bit unfamiliar with doing it for the first time." Guan Yuan touched his bulging purse, his eyes narrowed when he laughed.
