Reborn to Strive

Shi Zhen talked about buying a house in detail.

In fact, he has already bought many houses. In his previous life, he bought land directly, and bought a large piece of land.

So now that he has bought a small house, he is not thrilled.

Shi Dalin is different.

He was even a little dazed: "I bought a house! Ah Zhen, you bought a house... That's a house..."

For most ordinary people, a house has a special meaning.

What Shi Dalin was thinking about was to go back and build a house.

But if there is a house here... it seems that you don't have to go back and build a house?

Shi Dalin immediately said: "Ah Zhen, take me to see the house you bought later."

Even Zhao Meiyun said: "I want to see it too."

"Don't go, you have a fever." Shi Dalin said to Zhao Meiyun.

Zhao Meiyun's current health is indeed not very good... She could only say: "Then I will go later."

Shi Zhen looked at Shi Dalin: "Dad, that house is very dilapidated, there is nothing to see..."

Shi Dalin said: "Broken? Can it be as broken as our old house?"

Really!

When Shi Zhen brought Shi Dalin to the place, Shi Dalin was a little confused.

The house that Shi Zhen bought was built alone on the corner. It was built with the old blue bricks. The outer walls were not painted and looked very dilapidated. Further up, the roof also lacked many tiles.

There is only one small window in the house. Although the window is made of glass, it is already broken, and the door is also broken. Push the door and go in...

The ground inside the house was paved with many things, including two stone slabs and some broken bricks, but it was damp and dirty.

The point is, this house is still very small.

Shi Dalin was very happy when Shi Zhen bought a house, but now he was disappointed when he saw such a house, and even a little unwilling: "Ah Zhen, this house... this house costs [-] yuan? "

8000 yuan can buy a lot of bricks!Now build a brand new, such a big house in the countryside, if you don’t paint or decorate, one or two thousand is enough!

How small the room is!Only thirty or forty square meters?

Shi Zhendao: "Dad, what is valuable is not the house above, but the land below."

Shi Zhen knew that Shi Dalin couldn't understand, and at this time, most people couldn't understand either.

He didn't talk about it anymore, and put it another way: "Dad, I'll take Da Niu and the others to renovate this house. It won't cost much to renovate it. You can open a shop here in the future. How much rent can you save?"

When Shi Zhen said this, Shi Dalin understood, but he still felt that it was a bit expensive: "Eight thousand..."

Shi Zhendao: "This kind of house that can be rented for business needs at least 500 yuan a year, and it will be 16 yuan in 16. Now that I bought it, it can be used for more than [-] years."

Of course, this house will not last for 16 years, and it will be demolished in a few years.

It is impossible for the rent to remain unchanged for so many years. In fact, in the next few years... this year, renting a storefront will cost [-] a year, and next year it will double to [-]. There are countless things.

In a few years, the annual rent for any small storefront in the town will be tens of thousands.

No, it won't take a few years... From the end of this year, Anshan Town will start various constructions.

Shi Dalin couldn't foresee the future. Hearing what Shi Zhen said, he thought it was a good deal, and told Shi Zhen how to open the store in the future.

Shi Zhen said: "It's not difficult, Dad, you should rest for a while, and wait until I fix the house."

"Okay...By the way, your uncle didn't encounter anything, right?" Shi Dalin asked again.

Shi Zhen sold the fried skewers stall to Shi Dashan, but Wang Zugen's parents were still selling fried skewers.

Moreover, Wang Zugen's parents knew Shi Dashan.

Shi Dalin was a little worried, afraid that his elder brother and the others, like him, would be targeted by Wang Zugen's parents.

Shi Zhendao: "Dad, today is the first day that Uncle and the others set up a stall in the town, why don't we go and have a look?"

Shi Zhen took Shi Dalin with him, and went to find Shi Dashan and the others.

When he sold the stall to Shi Dashan, he definitely didn't want to throw the Wang family's troubles on Shi Dashan. He was sure that Shi Dashan and his wife would be able to deal with Wang Zugen's parents.

And this... has something to do with his eldest aunt.

Among the women in this world, there are Zhao Meiyun who is hesitant to do something like this, and there are also women who are particularly assertive in doing things, and his eldest aunt is the latter.

She has always been bold.

Shi Zhen can't remember what happened when he was three or four years old, and only occasionally remembers a few fragments.

One of the clips was related to his eldest aunt.

Once, the chickens raised by his aunt's family accidentally ate the millet mixed with rat poison in the village.

The millet was used to poison the mice. After the chicken ate it, it fell to the ground and convulsed. Shi Zhen remembered that Shi Xing cried loudly at Wawa, and called for his aunt. After his aunt arrived, he did something unexpected. .

She used scissors to cut off the crop on the chicken's neck, then dug out the grain that the chicken had just eaten, and then sewed the wound on the chicken...

That chicken came back to life!

At that time, Shi Zhen felt that his eldest aunt was very powerful, just like everyone else.

When he arrived, he specifically asked his aunt about this matter. His aunt said that when the village built a commune, in order to prevent food from being stolen by chickens and the like, they would sprinkle a circle of rat poison outside. Chickens often fall victim to tricks. At first the chicken died, and everyone had to admit it. They took the dead chicken home and cooked it. Later, she was so cruel that she used the dead chicken as a live chicken doctor...unexpectedly, she saved the chicken.

When encountering such a thing again, she would do it directly.

But not all chickens can be saved, some chickens will still die, it depends on luck.

That is to say, if a chicken suffers from the problem of a suddenly enlarged belly and a belly full of water, it will definitely die if you leave it alone, but if you open an opening in its belly and let the water out, it may survive.

Of course, no one knows whether the lifespan of chickens will decrease or not. Most people kill chickens and eat them during Chinese New Year.

In short, his eldest aunt is a very courageous person.

She can even deliver babies.

It's not something she was born with. The main reason is that she is very courageous. The women in the village are about to have children. Some people look for help everywhere, so she goes over to be watched by others.

But she has always just helped to see, and will not promise anything. After all, a woman's childbirth is a matter of hell, and she is also afraid of accidents. Over the years, she has been persuading people to go to the hospital to give birth.

Shi Dalin has a good temper and seldom talks. When he meets the shameless Wang Zugen's parents, he doesn't know what to do. If it were his eldest aunt... Wang Zugen's parents would never get any better.

Most importantly, Shi Zhen came up with a new idea for his uncle and aunt.

He chose to sell fried skewers before because at this time, some things he wanted to sell, but he couldn't.

For example, fried chicken cutlets, fried boneless chicken fillets, etc. After many years, it is easy to buy chicken cutlets and chicken fillets that have been processed and fried directly in the pan, but at this time, there is nowhere to buy these .

In Anshan Town, you can't even buy Gongwan.

Do it yourself, he won't.

But not long ago, when Shi Zhen went to Changxi City, he saw someone selling processed "tenderloin".

This meat is marinated, bright red, and skewered with bamboo sticks... It is the kind of tenderloin that can be added to egg pancakes in later generations.

He bought some for his uncle and aunt, and asked a blacksmith to order a square iron pan with a flat bottom for them.

He remembered that around 2000, this kind of iron pork tenderloin was once popular in Changxi City. At that time, some stalls even only sold iron pork tenderloin.

His uncle and aunt, on the basis of selling deep-fried skewers, they also sell an additional type of pork tenderloin, and the business will definitely not be bad.

But also because it takes time to customize this iron pan, and the fried skewer stall also needs to be changed... His uncle and aunt only came to the town to sell things until today.

Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin were still far away when they saw a stall surrounded by people, and when they got closer... the surrounded stall was the stall of Shi Dashan and his wife?

Shi Zhen's aunt's hands and feet were sharper than Shi Dashan's, so Shi Dashan was driven aside by her to do things like sprinkle chili powder for the guests, while she fried the pork tenderloin herself.

This iron plate tenderloin is a new thing, and it is also expensive to sell. It costs [-] cents for a small skewer and [-] cents for a large skewer, but everyone still flocks to it.

Shi Zhen's aunt even developed a deluxe version, which is to put an egg on a large skewer of tenderloin and sell it for one yuan.

There are quite a few people who want this one-dollar skewer!

Shi Zhen took a look, and there was another item on the stall that he hadn't sold before - quail.

Killed quails are stretched and strung on bamboo skewers, which is very attractive to look at.

"I want a skewer of [-]-cent iron pork tenderloin."

"I want a string of seven-feather tenderloin with eggs!"

"Give me some paprika!"

"I don't want spicy food!"

"That sausage, fry one for me."

……

It's not a festival, but because there are new things on this stall, it is actually full of people.

There were a lot of people, but Shi Zhen's aunt didn't panic at all, and could remember what everyone wanted.

When she was busy, she looked up, saw Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin, and immediately said, "Dalin and Ah Zhen are here! Dashan, throw two quails into the pot!"

Shi Zhen's eldest aunt is Chen Xiaofen. She is as ugly as Zhao Meiyun, but she looks much more energetic than Zhao Meiyun. After all, she is five or six years younger than Zhao Meiyun.

Chen Xiaofen is not yet 45. She married earlier and had children earlier. When Shi Xinghuo was born, she was not yet [-].

Speaking of which, Shi Dashan is actually one year younger than Zhao Meiyun.

In their stall, there are two pots, one for making pork loin, which is always managed by Chen Xiaofen, and another ordinary pot, which is used for deep frying, which is managed by Shi Dashan.

Hearing Chen Xiaofen's words, Shi Dashan immediately threw two quails into the oil pan.

Shi Zhen didn't see anyone asking for quail, so he knew it was fried for him and Shi Dashan, so he hurriedly said, "Auntie, no need..."

"If you want it, please wait for a while! The quail needs to be fried more." Chen Xiaofen said.

The quail had already been cooked, and it was too late to refuse, Shi Zhen said, "Then thank you uncle and aunt."

"Thank you!" Chen Xiaofen said to Shi Dashan again, "Hurry up and move the stool to Ah Zhen and the others."

Shi Dashan moved the stools they brought to Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin to sit on—they themselves were too busy to sit.

Shi Dalin sat down on the stool and watched his elder brother and sister-in-law go about their business in surprise.

He set up a stall before, and the stall has never been so lively!

Shi Dalin was stunned, but Shi Zhen was not surprised at all.

When he first set up a stall, he took care of more than one stall, so he didn't have much time to work hard on fried skewers.

Because he was too busy alone, he didn't prepare many kinds of things.

After he gave the stall to his dad...his dad didn't have any sense of innovation. He sold it the way he taught it back then, and he never changed.

But his aunt is different!

Although he brought back a lot of tenderloin for his uncles and aunts and taught them how to make sizzling tenderloin, his aunt probably came up with the idea of ​​cracking eggs on the tenderloin and frying quail.

This is a natural fit for business.

As Shi Zhen thought about it, he saw Wang Zugen's parents staring at them.

He's in a good mood.

Today, his uncle and aunt have new products, and Wang Zugen's business may be almost robbed.

When most people buy fried skewers, they only buy one or two skewers to try. If they have already bought tenderloin, they will not buy fried sausage and fried rice cakes again.

After Chen Xiaofen greeted a few words, she was busy all the time. She turned her head to Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin when she had some free time, and said, "Thanks to you! The business of this stall is really good. I see that after one day, we should be able to Earned a lot! Finally, I don’t have to rust that flower at home, and I’m aggrieved by doing that job.”

Shi Zhen laughed when he heard this.

Zhao Meiyun and Zhao Qiujuan are very patient, they can do such work as embroidery for clothes all day long.

But his aunt actually didn't have the patience. His aunt used to be in the village, and she liked to visit and chat with people... She naturally felt uncomfortable when she was asked to do needlework at home.

Shi Xingxing is actually such a person, and his patience is not as good as Shi Xingchao.

You know, this is a girl who would fight with him back then!

But a few days ago, their family spent a lot of money, so even though he was impatient, his aunt still embroidered clothes every day.

Shi Zhendao: "Auntie, how did you come up with the idea of ​​cracking eggs on top of tenderloin and selling it?"

Chen Xiaofen said: "Isn't it yesterday that I was at home, I was too lazy to cook, so I cracked an egg on top of the tenderloin for my family to eat, they all said it was delicious!"

The eggs are fried in oil on an iron plate. In fact, they are delicious anyway. The tenderloin is wrapped in the middle and seasoning is sprinkled on the outside, which makes it even more delicious!

While chatting, the two quails were fried.

Chen Xiaofen picked it up and asked Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin what their taste was.

Shi Dalin can't eat spicy food, but Shi Zhen can eat spicy food. Chen Xiaofen sprinkled salt and pepper powder, chili powder, etc., and then gave each of Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin a quail.

This quail is very complete, with the head on top, because the whole body is stretched, it looks quite big.

When Shi Dalin got it, he bit off the quail's head in one bite.

The bones of birds are brittle. After the quail is fried, the bones can be eaten directly.

Shi Dalin bit the quail's head and "clicked", looking particularly appetizing.

Seeing this, Shi Zhen also took a bite.

The two were sitting here eating quail. Someone who came to shop saw it and asked the price of the quail.

Chen Xiaofen said: "This one! It costs five yuan each."

Shi Zhen was shocked when he heard the price Chen Xiaofen said.

Five bucks...that's really expensive!

However, the person who asked the price actually bought it: "Give me one."

Chen Xiaofen immediately put a quail into the pot.

When the guest went away satisfied with the quail, Shi Zhen and the others also finished eating the quail. Taking advantage of Chen Xiaofen's free time, Shi Zhen asked her: "Auntie, why is this quail so expensive?"

Chen Xiaofen said: "Some people like to buy expensive ones."

What Chen Xiaofen said is really true.

Some people like to pick expensive ones.

For example, when we go shopping together, if others buy fried sausages that cost [-] cents a piece, and I eat fried sausages that cost [-] yuan a piece, I immediately feel that... I have more face.

Many people have this mentality, especially at this time.

The fried quail at Chen Xiaofen's stall was the most expensive in the audience, and I'm afraid many people would buy it and eat it for others to see.

What they want is to let people know that they have money!

Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin sat here for a while before going back. When they went back, Zhao Meiyun was sitting on the lounge chair outside, watching TV with Zhao Qiujuan.

But she only watched TV, while Zhao Qiujuan was still embroidering clothes.

Seeing Shi Zhen, Zhao Qiujuan asked: "Ah Zhen, I heard you bought a house?"

"Yes." Shi Zhen said.

"Can you take me to see it?" Zhao Qiujuan was not there before, but now she wants to see it too: "It doesn't have to be today, just take me there when you have time."

"I'm free today." Shi Zhen smiled, and took Zhao Qiujuan to have a look.

Zhao Qiujuan was also a little disappointed when she saw the house, but what Shi Zhen told her was different from what Shi Dalin said: "Sister, although the house is broken, it can be repaired. You can't look at this when you buy a house. Look at the value attached to it! Let’s put it this way, if you have a house and move your registered permanent residence, your children can study here without borrowing the tuition fee!”

He paid a lot of Shi Ting's borrowing fee at the beginning.

But there was no way to do that. At that time, he had no money to buy a house, and there was no suitable house for him to buy, and it was troublesome to change his residence.

A few years earlier, rich people in the countryside here would have spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a household registration for their children.

In the past few years... probably because of the urbanization rate, recently some villages near Anshan Town have asked each household to take out one person and change their household registration to the town.

Most families have changed their children's household registration to non-agricultural, and a few people can't see that their children's household registration is not on their own household registration book, so they change the household registration of the elderly in their seventies and eighties to non-agricultural.

Shi Zhen told Zhao Qiujuan about the gap in education between the two sides, and then talked about borrowing tuition fees, Zhao Qiujuan immediately wanted to buy a house even more.

But at this time, most of the houses are not as cheap as the one Shi Zhen bought. Some houses are still allocated in the factory, so it is not easy to buy and sell... It is not easy for Zhao Qiujuan to buy a suitable house.

Shi Zhen felt that she didn't need to worry. She would be able to buy a nice new house after waiting a few more years and saving up.

After taking the family to see the house, Shi Zhen went home.

Today is Thursday, and tomorrow is big worship, Guan Baiyu should be back.

Tomorrow, he will definitely take Guan Baiyu to see the dilapidated house.

In addition... how to repair the house, he also has to design it.

It is definitely not possible to demolish the whole house and build it into two floors and three floors, but it is absolutely fine if it is slightly higher.

Shi Zhen plans to renovate on the original basis and add a small attic where goods can be placed.
