Rebirth: Return to the 80s

Mr. Zhao couldn't see it, "I said you old ghost, why are you so impatient?"

Mr. Li ignored him and continued to stare at the pot with green eyes.Guan Yuan brought out the finished beef jerky: "Grandpa Li, Grandpa Zhao, try it, this is our new beef jerky."

Mr. Li is very interested in the food prepared by the two children, and the dishes in the pot are not yet cooked, so they are just padded.As soon as he ate it, he realized that this beef jerky was completely different from what he had eaten in the past.The meat is fragrant and tender, and the beef with tendons is both chewy and non-sticky when chewing. Chewing and drinking wine is simply immortal.

Mr. Li squinted his eyes to reflect on it, and said for a long time: "Not bad, not bad, with this skill, you will support a family business in the future." When he was happy with the meal, he knocked on the table and sang a song Qu Guan Gong.

Mr. Zhao is also full of praise for this beef jerky.I couldn't stop talking for a while, but I forgot that the hot pot was still cooking.It was snowing heavily outside, and there was a strong smell of vegetables in the room. The two elderly people were not in a hurry to leave after eating. They planned to stay here for the night, so Mr. Li sent Xiao Zhang back to report.

Fortunately, this is not the first time they have stayed here, and there are spare rooms for them to live in.After everything was tidied up, Elder Li asked Zhao Shenggu what their future plans were.

"We're going to set up a storefront and find someone to watch over it. Xiaoyuan and I are going to study." Zhao Shenggu hugged Guan Yuan in his arms, talking about his plan in detail.

Mr. Zhao was very happy when he heard this: "Well, I have wanted to say it for a long time, how can a child not study, the country is also attaching great importance to this aspect now, you still have to study to understand."

Mr. Li didn't like to listen to this, "What do you mean, you mean I'm unreasonable?" Mr. Zhao couldn't laugh or cry: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't check for a while and I mentioned you, unintentionally, unintentionally ,Ha ha"

Mr. Li snorted through his nose, turned his head and smiled and said to Zhao Shenggu: "Although I haven't read any books, I agree with you if you want to study. This is a person with a long-term vision. That's right, but you said you want to buy Storefront, are you optimistic about the place?"

Zhao Shenggu nodded, "I've already seen it. It's not far from the county government building. After looking at it, the people living there have a good income. In fact, almost all the people who come to us to buy braised pork are from that area. lest they come to the market again."

Elder Li nodded. Although Zhao Shenggu was still young, he did things in a calm and orderly manner. Elder Li had already treated him as an adult. "That's good, we can get closer if we want to eat braised pork in the future."

Zhao Shenggu knew that Mr. Li was joking, so he laughed along with him.They talked for a while at night before going to rest.The next day, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were going to go to the county town with Mr. Li to finalize the business of the store.

The store that Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were optimistic about happened to be in the center of the county, with the government on the left and the workers' compound on the right.The asking price for a small courtyard behind a storefront is 500 yuan.The price is not too expensive, but it is not cheap either.After several negotiations, it was finally set at [-] yuan.

"Just for you and this little baby?" The homeowner looked at Zhao Shenggu hesitantly.

Zhao Shenggu nodded: "Yes, I am the head of the household, so it's completely fine for you to pass it on to me." Guan Yuan originally thought it didn't matter whether he added his name or not, but Zhao Shenggu insisted: "The two of us are a family. It must be shared by both of us." Guan Yuan had no reason to object, so he naturally agreed.

Holding the newly released real estate certificate, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu decided to celebrate.To celebrate, of course I am too lazy to cook by myself, so I ate a meal in the county before going back.

"After the beginning of spring, we will go to the school to register, but before that, we have to get a good look at the shopkeepers." The two are used to talking while lying under the covers, and Guan Yuan said while playing with Zhao Shenggu's fingers.

Zhao Shenggu nodded: "Indeed, it's just that this person is hard to find. Let's find someone in the village. Those who know the basics and know the truth."

Guan Yuan also agreed to do this. Although his luck is bad, and those who are related by blood are all top-notch, there are still many people in the village who are quick at work and sincere.

"Then who do you think is the best place to go?" No matter what Zhao Shenggu does, he will discuss with Guan Yuan. As long as it is not too outrageous, he will generally agree to Guan Yuan's decision unconditionally.

"Brother, what do you think of Guan Shitou's father?" Guan Yuan thought of that simple and honest man, and suggested to Zhao Shenggu.

"You mean Uncle Guan Guo? He's pretty good, he works hard, he's straightforward, and he's also warm-hearted." Zhao Shenggu said, "It's just that Aunt Li Ying is a little..."

Seeing Zhao Shenggu's tangled expression, Guan Yuan burst out laughing: "You think Aunt Li Ying is a bit aggressive?"

Zhao Shenggu nodded: "Aunt Li Ying is too powerful."

"I think it's okay. Isn't that why Guan Shitou's grandpa and the others are too partial? If Aunt Li Ying is not so good, she will not be eaten by them. In fact, Aunt Li Ying is quite a kind person, with a good heart and hard work."

Li Ying is a well-known industrious person in Guanjiatun, but Guan Shitou's grandparents always talk about Guan Shitou's family for their youngest son, gradually Li Ying became more and more powerful.

"It's fine if you say yes, then let's invite someone tomorrow, talk about it, and see if Uncle Guan agrees."

"Then how much should we pay them?"

"Right now, a worker's salary is only more than 20 yuan, and we can't pay too much. I think 25 yuan a month is about the same."

After the two discussed the matter of inviting someone, they remembered that they hadn't entered the space to see the lotus for several days, so they entered the space while they were free.

Although the lotus in the Lingquan is still watery, it is drooping downwards, and it looks lifeless.Feeling the aura of Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan, the lotus raised its flower bud with a whoosh, and the two leaves next to it also swayed, seeming very happy.

Guan Yuan was amused by the reaction of the lotus, thinking that the promise to visit it every day has not come true, so the movement of touching the flower bone is more gentle.

Lianhua also felt Guan Yuan's mood, and couldn't help rolling around in Guan Yuan's hands coquettishly. "Hehe" Guan Yuan laughed out loud, "Brother, it's so cute"

"Now I think it's cute. Who said it was transformed from a monster and told me to stay away from it? Hmm!" Zhao Shenggu joked.Guan Yuan retorted: "It's a monster, but it's so stupid, it can't do anything, so let's call it cute."

Lianhua was stunned when Guan Yuan said it was stupid, and then she heard Guan Yuan said it was cute, and instantly became energetic again, and the flower bone was rolling in Guan Yuan's hands.

The two stayed in the space for a while before going out.During this year, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan had to talk and play with this lotus almost every day, and Guan Yuan attached more and more importance to this lotus.

The next day, the two did not set up a stall, and went to Guan Guo's house together.When we went, Guan Shitou was chasing chickens in the yard, and when he saw Guan Yuan coming, his eyes lit up: "Boss, what delicious food did you bring me?" Li Ying happened to come out to hug firewood, and slapped him on the head : "I know how to eat", Guan Shitou was beaten and curled his lips: "Can't you talk well, you know how to hit me"

"Hey, you kid still dare to talk to me." Li Ying wanted to grab Guan Shitou's ear, but Guan Shitou avoided it with a twist.Li Ying let him run away, and hurriedly greeted Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu: "Shenggu, Xiaoyuan, sit on the kang in the house, our family just bought meat today and made stew, you have to eat your stomach before going back." What Li Ying said was sincere, Zhao Shenggu naturally understood it.

"Thank you Aunt Li, we are here to find Uncle Guan Guo, is he at home?"

"Yes, yes, where else can he go if he is not at home in this cold day! Hurry up, go inside, don't freeze outside." Li Ying enthusiastically pulled Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu into the house. "My son's father, hurry up, Shenggu and Xiaoyuan have something to do with you." Li Ying shouted to the backyard.

Guan Guoyao agreed.After a while, he entered the house: "Shenggu, what do you want from me?"

"Sit down, I'll grab some sunflower seeds for you to crack," Li Ying said, holding a plate.

"No need, Aunt Li, you don't need to be so polite." Zhao Shenggu quickly declined. "Hey, why is this kid so idiotic, he just knocks and plays without any good things?" Li Ying walked into the room after finishing speaking.

"Yes, let your aunt catch it." Guan Guo said, he took out the wine and put it on the small table on the kang, and asked Zhao Shenggu, "Have some?"

Zhao Shenggu waved his hand: "I don't know how to drink yet."

Guan Guo paused, and patted himself on the forehead: "That's right, you are still young, and you usually seem to be able to do better than an adult, so I forgot your age, haha!"

Li Ying put the melon seeds on the table, and was about to go to the kitchen to cook, Zhao Shenggu hurriedly stopped her: "Auntie, sit down too, I have something to discuss with you."

Li Ying was at a loss: "What else can I do?"

Zhao Shenggu hugged Guan Yuan into his arms, gathered his clothes for him, and said: "That's right, I'm selling braised pork..."

Before Zhao Shenggu could finish speaking, Guan Guo interjected: "Yes, we all know about this. We heard that they are selling well. Could it be that they were bullied by the people in the city? This is not possible. The people in Guanjiatun can't do it. Outsiders come to bully, Shenggu tell me."

Guan Yuan was defeated by Guan Guo's powerful brain power, and Zhao Shenggu couldn't laugh or cry: "No, our stewed meat is selling well, but Xiaoyuan and I will go to school next year. It’s not too tiring to find someone to help us look after the store, we will cook the stewed meat every day, you just need to help sell it and collect some money.”

After hearing this, Li Ying and Guan Guo didn't react at all, but Li Ying came back to his senses quickly: "Do you feel relieved to leave such a big business to others?"

"There is nothing to worry about. There is a quantity of stewed meat every day, and the price is also determined, so I know exactly how much it will sell every day. Now the salary of 25 yuan per month generally does not last long. At most It will only take three or four hours, and you can go home after selling out, Guan Guoshu, will you do it?"

Guan Guo rubbed his pants unconsciously.

Zhao Shenggu asked again: "Do you think the money is low?"

Guan Guo quickly waved his hand: "No, no, 25 yuan a month, my God, it's more than other people's offices, I'm just worried... I'm worried that you two will pay me such a high salary, then you still have something to do Are you making money? Don’t lose money then!”

Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan laughed when they heard the words, it seems that Guan Guo is really a good person, "Don't worry, I will definitely not do business at a loss, just go out to sell things, I don't know if you are interested... "

Li Ying was stunned by the 25 yuan wages, and now she came back to her senses and quickly said: "There is nothing to look down on, I eat by my ability, and I don't steal or rob. Now I go to the county, where there are so many people. If you set up more stalls, they can make money." Then he turned his head to Guan Guo and said, "Father, why don't you go, and I can finish the work in the team by myself."

"Uncle Guan Guo, in fact, a few hours a day will not delay your taking care of the family at all." Zhao Shenggu was afraid that he would have concerns, so he explained everything clearly.

Now Guan Guo and Li Ying are even happier. They can earn money and take care of their family. This is a good thing.Guan Guo took a sip of the wine, his neck turned red, and said, "Shenggu, thank you, Uncle..." The unsatisfactory meaning was all in one sip of wine.

After talking about the matter, Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were ready to leave, Li Ying and Guan Guo insisted on staying with them for dinner, the hospitality was hard to come by, so Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan had to stay.

"Shenggu, let me know when you are going to work, and I will take care of it right away," Guan Guo said, patting his chest.

"The store hasn't been cleared yet, it will be five days at the earliest," Zhao Shenggu said conservatively.

"It's okay, your aunt and I are fine now, we will clean up your store for you"

"That's fine. I was looking for someone. If that's the case, your wages will be calculated from tomorrow," Zhao Shenggu said.

Guan Guo hurriedly waved his hand: "Shenggu, this is a help, how can I still ask for your wages?" Li Ying also echoed.

"There's nothing wrong with it. You need money from others." After talking in Guanguo for a while, the two of them came out of their house. To clean up the shop tomorrow, they had to hire a few more people, including a carpenter. Needless to say, Of course it's off the woods.

Neither of them went home, but went straight to Guan Shulin's home.It was the first time for Guan Yuan to enter Guan Shulin's yard. When he entered the yard, it was a mess everywhere, chicken droppings were everywhere, and there was a smell of pig manure.Guan Yuan covered his nose, it was the first time he saw such a dirty yard.

Guan Mumu was poking ants in the yard. Seeing that Guan Yuan had come home, his whole face turned red. He stood in the yard at a loss, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say, and finally summoned up his courage and sounded like a mosquito. He asked, "What are you doing here?"

Guan Yuan still has a good impression of Guan Mumu. Although the child is dirty all over, he has a lazy mother. Guan Mumu is well-behaved and sensible, which makes people feel distressed.

"We're here to find your dad, is he there?"

"Yes... yes" Guan Mumu replied in a low voice, and ran in to call his father. After Guan Shulin came out, Zhao Shenggu told him why he was looking for him. It was not the first time that Guan Shulin took Zhao Shenggu's job. Knowing that he is generous, he readily took over the job, originally thinking of inviting Zhao Shenggu and the others to sit in, but when he thought of the mess in the room, he didn't have the nerve to ask.

When Zhao Shenggu and the others went out, Guan Yuan looked back, only to find that Guan Mumu was holding the courtyard door to watch them.

The two went to the village to invite a few people, and then went home.The next day, everyone met at Tunzikou according to the agreed time. Unexpectedly, Li Ying also came along, "There is nothing wrong at home, so I can help a little."

Since it was someone's kindness, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu couldn't refuse.A group of people went to the store in the county to start repairing.

People lived in the yard behind the store, and there was everything in the kitchen. Zhao Shenggu led helpers to work in front, and Guan Yuan and Li Ying cooked in the back.

Li Ying thought she would finish it with one hand, but she didn't expect to be Guan Yuan's helper later. Smelling the tangy aroma of vegetables, the glutton in Li Ying's stomach was hooked and ran out.

"Xiaoyuan, you are too capable. You are so young, how can you cook so delicious food? This skill is no worse than those who are chefs! No wonder your stewed pork is so delicious. It turns out that there is You, the chef, are in the back!" Li Ying sighed, and thought of Guan Shitou, who is one year older than Guan Yuan, who spends his days chasing chickens and dogs, and bullying the little kids in the village. , Li Ying's head hurts.

Guan Yuan smiled shyly: "I don't know what's going on, I just like it, as if I know what to do with a spoon!" Of course, he made it up for his abnormality.

But Li Ying was [-]% convinced, slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "I know, this is what they said... Talented, yes, talented!"

They chatted happily in the back, and the people in the shop in the front had already given up their minds to work after smelling the aroma. To be honest, eating a meal cooked by Guan Yuan was more attractive than paying them wages.

When Li Ying called for dinner, these people rushed forward, watching these people desperately stuffing their stomachs as if they hadn't eaten in 800 years, Li Ying has always been aggressive, and said directly: "Eat less, everyone looks like Big eater, wants to make Shenggu and Xiaoyuan poor."

These people also knew that Li Ying was talking about it for fun, but when they saw the empty bowl in front of them, they still touched their heads in embarrassment, "Who told the food to be so delicious!"

Under the temptation of delicious food and wages, these people worked extremely hard. The counter made by Guan Shulin was also decorated with complicated patterns, which looked very high-end. Finally, the whole decoration made Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan very satisfied, and another person overpaid. One dollar wages.

When leaving, an uncle in the village patted Zhao Shenggu on the shoulder: "Son, work hard, I know you are a capable person." Finally, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Then next time there will be such a thing Remember to look for me too, don’t need anything else, just this meal is enough.”

The people next to him burst out laughing.

Zhao Shenggu suppressed a smile: "Definitely."

Five days later, the "Shenggu" stewed meat shop opened successfully. Zhao Shenggu went to buy firecrackers, which were crackling. He wanted to invite a dragon dance team, but he ran around the county, but there was none, so he finally had to give up.

In order to have a new atmosphere in the new store, Zhao Shenggu and the others launched beef jerky on the first day, and there is no limit to the stewed meat, all of which are discounted at [-]%. Now the regular customers flock to the store, and those who are usually too expensive also join in the fun, and a queue is formed in front of the store. There was a long queue.

On the first day, Guan Guo was stunned when he saw the crowd, mother, these people bought such an expensive thing without even frowning.Li Ying also came to help, she was quick and quick, and was in charge of cutting the meat, Guan Guo was in charge of weighing, Guan Yuan saw that they were too busy, so she took over the work of collecting money, Zhao Shenggu was in front of it, and was responsible for greeting the guests, the four of them worked together , to cope with this day.

At the last count, I sold it for more than 500 yuan today. Although it was discounted, I made a profit of more than 100 yuan.Today was really tiring, Zhao Shenggu gave Guan Guo and Li Ying a bonus of five yuan.

Guan Guo and Li Ying naturally didn't want it, Zhao Shenggu said: "Today is a good start, let's try to be happy, and there will be no such thing in the future."

Guan Guo and Li Ying had no choice but to accept the money.Back home, the two carefully calculated Zhao Shenggu's income, and after calculating it, they swallowed at the same time.

"My baby and my boy, these two kids are really good at making money, right?" Guan Guo murmured.

Li Ying pinched him: "Let me tell you, this matter is rotten in my stomach, don't tell anyone who asks, Shenggu and Guan Yuan are generous enough, we can't be that villain."

Guan Guo was pinched and grinned; "Let go, am I that kind of person?"

Li Ying knew about Guan Guo's personality, she was a fool with one gut to the bottom, if she hadn't been stubborn, her mother-in-law and uncle's family would have eaten all the bones in their family. "I think those two children are capable people. Let's follow them in a down-to-earth manner. There may be great benefits in the future." Li Ying is not smart, but she has a woman's intuition.

Guan Guo nodded: "That's for sure. Regardless of whether the two children are promising or not, such a good thing has happened to them. There is no reason not to cherish it. Besides, they chose me to visit the store, and they must have taken a fancy to us for being honest." Speaking of this, Guan Guo laughed: "Now you still say that I am stupid, look, how did you say that sentence, it is the sentence that the party secretary in the village often utters... I am born to be useful, haha, You see, isn’t it? It really is what the cultural people say is transparent.”

Seeing his smug face, Li Ying pinched him again: "Stupid!"

From then on, Guan Guo really did his best. He learned some mathematics from his eldest son, kept a clear note of the money, and took the initiative to bring the pork he bought to Zhao Shenggu's house every day, and helped him clean it up.If it weren't for avoiding suspicion, he would definitely have to do the work of stewing the meat.

Guan Yuan is very satisfied with Guan Guo, he doesn't talk much, he is honest, and he works hard. He is the most suitable employee for a position that does not require innovation like guarding a stewed meat stall.

With Guan Guo's help, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu finally didn't have to blow cold wind in addition to stewed meat in winter.The two of them took advantage of this time, Guan Yuan taught Zhao Shenggu to recognize some simple characters, and then they talked, went to the space to accompany Lianhua every day, and lived a fulfilling and regular life.

But Guan Yuan knows that Guanjiatun is about to usher in a big change.
