Reborn to Strive

After Shi Zhen and Qian Li got up and set up the stall that day, he turned on the radio and listened to the broadcast.

In the early morning, many radio stations were silent and only played some music. Qian got up and searched for a while before finding one that broadcast the morning news.

The two listened to the news while doing business.

Shi Zhen felt that the radio was worth buying, as it would allow him to understand the outside world.

You know, although he was born again, he can't remember many things from this period.

The radio Shi Zhen bought, whether it was Qian Qi or Guan Baiyu, was very precious.

Especially Guan Baiyu, he usually holds the radio as carefully as a child, and when he puts the radio on the table, he even puts a clean cloth under it.

The radio has been used non-stop for several days, and when the sound suddenly became "hissing" because of no electricity, Guan Baiyu almost cried, lest it break down, making Shi Zhen dumbfounded and sad.

The battery is not cheap, so Guan Baiyu will be more careful when listening to the recording.After learning a few sentences with the radio in his arms, he immediately turned off the radio, and then recited while working, until he had recited all the sentences and words by heart, and then listened to the rest.

Looking at it, Shi Zhen found it really unpleasant, so he could only buy some more batteries and put them away.

He has always been very economical, but he also feels that the money that should be spent must be spent.

Moreover, he earns a lot.

Shi Zhen's rice ball business is very stable now, because the cost is not high, and the income is not bad, earning twenty or thirty dollars a day.

As for Qianqi's side, some people said that the pork head meat was too fat, and wanted to eat lean meat in cold salad, so Shi Zhen bought some lean meat and cooked it, and if someone wanted it, slice it like pork head meat for cold salad.

In addition, they added kelp and bean sprouts to the vegetarian dishes of the cold salad, and they also started selling vegan cold salad dishes for [-] cents.

Various changes have added a lot of business to the cooked food stall.

Now this cooked food stall runs for a whole day, and the net profit is about 50 yuan. After deducting the money, it can earn about 40 yuan for Shi Zhen every day.

Shi Zhen is already thinking about adding money to the money, he is afraid that the money given is too little, and the money will go out and do it alone.

Qian Qi has been following him in his previous life, but not necessarily in this life.

There is also a fried skewer stand, as long as it does not rain, it is no problem to earn twenty.

In April, J City gets hotter. Generally, it is enough to wear a long-sleeved jacket with a thin coat on top. Sometimes, when the sun is too bright, you can just wear a short-sleeved jacket.

At the same time, there was more rain.

The rain did not affect Shi Zhen and Qian Qi too much, at most Shi Zhen stopped selling fried skewers at night, but it affected the couple who imitated Shi Zhen and others in selling cold-cut pork heads.

The couple don't know how to build a shed, so they can't set up a stall on rainy days.

Sometimes they cooked too much pork head meat, and it was not sold out the day before, and it rained again the next day... Finally, they had to wait until it didn't rain before selling it.

The cold-cut pig's head is salty and not easy to spoil, but if it is not well preserved, picky customers can still eat something wrong. His stall eventually caused complaints from some customers because the food was not fresh.

Forget it, the price of pork head meat is no longer as cheap as it was in the beginning, and now it costs [-] cents a catty, so the profit is naturally less.

Setting up a stall is actually not that simple. The woman in this couple is okay, she is a down-to-earth businessman, but the man has come out to set up a stall but is afraid of losing face. He always puts on airs, and when customers come to cut pork heads , and always want to cut the worst part to others, but refuse to give up some profit... Isn't this chasing customers?

His family's business is getting worse and worse.

Suddenly one day, the man stopped to set up a stall, and the woman changed the things she sold after setting up alone for a few days.

Almost every household in the town has coal stoves for heating water and so on. This woman brings two coal stoves here every day.Put a big pot on each of them, one full of zongzi, the other full of tea eggs——she sells zongzi and tea eggs instead, and the stalls don’t stand all day long. Follow up.

Shi Zhen felt that this woman was quite smart.

In fact, if he had zongzi

He might sell zongzi along the way, but he doesn't know how to make zongzi, so he can only let it go.

People here eat meat zongzi, the woman sells two kinds of zongzi, one with lean meat and the other with pork belly, both for one yuan, there are about thirty or forty in a big pot, and if each zongzi earns three or four cents, She can earn ten yuan a day, plus tea eggs... She can earn about ten or twenty yuan by setting up a stall in the morning.

Zongzi is more expensive than rice balls, and fewer people buy them. It’s not like he can sell more than 100 rice balls in one morning.

Without this family, it would be nice to fight for business with the money, but soon others followed suit—someone set up a stall selling rice balls similar to Shi Zhen's in front of the town's junior high school.

Shi Zhen was also quite helpless, but this kind of small business never lacked imitators, so he couldn't stop it.

Fortunately, there are still many people who come to him to buy rice balls, and some small workshops will order a dozen or twenty rice balls from him in advance.

Shi Zhen bought some bottled dairy drinks, that is, AD calcium milk strawberry milk and the like, and sold them side by side, earning an extra yuan or two every day.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of April.

Shi Zhen didn't have any free time every day, so after all this tossing around, he was earning a decent amount of money. After excluding costs and various odds and ends, he could save an average of seventy or eighty per day.

Before buying a tricycle and a radio, he emptied his savings twice, but at the end of April, Shi Zhen still had 1000 yuan in savings.

This is the first 1000 yuan he earned in his life, which is worth commemorating.

But he wants to buy a gas stove, he wants to buy a coal stove...all of which cost money.

Before Shi Zhen could add things to the house again, Shi Xinghuo's job of repairing the canal was finished, and he temporarily lost his job.

He is a stubborn person, but there is also an advantage, that is, he never slackens, and he is physically strong and strong enough. The bosses on the construction site, no matter they are small or big, like him very much, and they will settle the accounts. When I was in the Qing Dynasty, they said that if there was a job next time, I would ask him to do a small job.

But even so, he still has no income at the moment.

Shi Zhen asked him to help him, and gave him five yuan a day's wages.

As long as Shi Xinghuo can do a little, Shi Zhen will not give him such a low salary, but Shi Xinghuo really can't do a lot.

Fortunately, Shi Xinghuo is already very satisfied with this salary, and he even walks like a float recently.

At the end of their job at the construction site, he was paid four hundred dollars at a time.

In addition to what Shi Zhen saved for him before, he now has a deposit of 600 yuan!

Here in Anshan Town, there are also rich people who drive cars and get mobile phones. The cigarettes and alcohol that the leaders on the Shi Xinghuo construction site smoke and drink are very expensive.

If it were someone else, their mentality might get worse if they saw too much, but Shi Xinghuo was different.

He didn't pay attention to all of them!

He just remembered what his parents told him—earn more money outside, and if you have money, you can marry a wife.

And according to the situation in their village... he is already rich now.

Although marrying a wife is not enough, but if this continues, he will be able to marry a wife by the end of the year!

Shi Xinghuo laughed every day, responding to Shi Zhen's words with a loud "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

For example, wearing fried skewers, he has no problem doing this.

With more people at his disposal, Shi Zhen is thinking about expanding his business... Ahem, he plans to add a variety of rice balls.

Glutinous rice is used to make rice balls. There is also a tradition of eating glutinous rice during festivals in the local area.

As for glutinous rice, there are two kinds of sweet and salty. Shi Zhen liked a salty ribs glutinous rice in his previous life.

It is glutinous rice mixed with soy sauce lard and steamed pork ribs.

If the rice ball is made into this taste, it must be delicious!

Shi Zhen tried cooking a pot of glutinous rice with lard and soy sauce, and used it to make rice balls.

Wrap fried dough sticks and peanuts in lard and soy sauce rice...it tastes so delicious!It definitely suits the taste of people who have no oil in their stomachs.

This kind of rice ball itself is salty, so it is not easy to add pickles, but you can add a little crunchy mustard powder to enhance the taste.

Shi Zhen also made egg skins and cut up ham sausage. In the future... the fifty-cent rice ball is only

There is a small piece of fried dough sticks, two or three peanuts and minced mustard green onion. If someone buys rice balls for one yuan, they can give two pieces of fried dough sticks, more peanuts, and minced ham sausage with egg skin.

On May [-]st, the school and factories were closed, but Shi Zhen and the others were not allowed to have a holiday, and they still opened their stalls as usual.

The breakfast business on rest days is generally a little worse than usual. Although Shi Zhen has launched new products, he does not prepare much.

He used to sell a big pot of white rice every day, but this time he made half a pot of white rice and half a pot of rice with soy sauce and lard.

When he arrived in the town, whenever he saw familiar people, Shi Zhen would greet them, saying that there was a new variety of rice balls today, and asking if they wanted them.

The glutinous rice cooked in soy sauce and lard is really fragrant, and it's the first time I saw it... a lot of people bought it.

This rice ball is a bit like a rice dumpling. Although the filling inside is not meat, it is still delicious. The most important thing is that a rice ball that can fill an adult only costs [-] cents, while the rice dumpling next door costs a piece.

So, even though there were many fewer working days, Shi Zhen still sold out all the rice at eight o'clock.

He went home and slept for two hours. While he was sleeping, Shi Xinghuo had already skewered skewers for him. When he woke up and had dinner, he went directly to the town to sell fried skewers without delay.

After all, it was a festival, and the town was very lively during the day.

At this time, people will not stop going because the town is lively on a certain day. On the contrary, the more lively the town is, the more they want to go to the town to watch the excitement... In this way, there will be more people.

It would be a shame not to sell fried skewers on this kind of day!

Shi Zhen sold a lot of fried skewers this day. If it weren't for the best-selling ham sausage and sausage, he didn't need to make any preparations. After the customer ordered, he could unpack the package and put it in the oil pan on the spot. In the end, he was afraid that there would be no Things sell.

So, at four o'clock in the afternoon, when Guan Baiyu came to look for him, Shi Zhen said, "Xiaoyu, I won't be going home for dinner tonight, so go and get me some food. By the way, let Shi Xinghuo make more fried skewers Bring it to me, there should be a lot of guests tonight."

In fact, it is not impossible to buy some to eat, but he thinks it is not cost-effective, and anyway, Guan Baiyu should send him fried skewers, and just send some rice to deal with it.

"En!" Guan Baiyu responded, and immediately ran home.

He was very happy to help Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen had told Shi Xinghuo before to ask Shi Xinghuo to make more strings. When Guan Baiyu came home, he saw that Shi Xinghuo had already done a lot.

He asked Shi Xinghuo to make some more skewers, while he cooked rice with the rice cooker and fried two more dishes. After eating some at random, he was ready to deliver skewers to Shi Zhen.

Seeing this, Shi Xinghuo said: "I'll go too." He wanted to go to the town to play.

Shi Xinghuo was going to the town, Guan Baiyu naturally wouldn't stop him, so he went with Shi Xinghuo to deliver things to Shi Zhen.

When they arrived in town, rice cakes, tofu, dried potato chips, chicken hearts, etc. were all sold out, and Shi Zhen was frying shrimp crackers for someone.

The prawn crackers are piece by piece, a bit like colorful plastic pieces, but they can become fluffy after being deep-fried in a frying pan.

After Shi Zhen is fried, put it aside to dry for a while, and when the temperature is low, sprinkle some salt and pepper and bag it for others.

Seeing Guan Baiyu and the others bring things over, Shi Zhen took them with a smile and continued to work, saying: "The town is very lively today, you go shopping."

Guan Baiyu didn't respond, he stood beside Shi Zhen, and began to help Shi Zhen skillfully.

Shi Xinghuo went to other places to watch the fun...he really can't help here.

Shi Zhen was busy until ten o'clock in the evening that day, and learned that someone would come to town to sell lottery tickets tomorrow.

Now some lotteries are drawn on the spot.

The organizer will bring all the prizes and so on, and all kinds of scratch-off coupons are neatly placed. After everyone buys them, they can scratch them on the spot to see how many prizes they have won.

Of course, the most is "thank you for your patronage".

Sometimes the poorer people are, the more they are willing to spend money to buy such things, just like decades later, most of the people who have been buying lottery tickets for a long time are not doing very well.

But now... Shi Zhen can be sure that the town will be very lively tomorrow.

The fried skewers he usually sells are mostly fifty cents, expensive

Because things are not selling well, there are not many prepared, but tomorrow... Shi Zhen plans to prepare more fried chicken wings and drumsticks for sale.

On the 100st, it was too late this day, and Shi Zhen didn't have time to settle the accounts at night, but he felt that he had earned at least [-] yuan.

Although it is tiring, it is really a happy thing to earn so much.

They should be able to make a lot of money these few days, so when Guan Baiyu offered to help Shi Zhen the next day, Shi Zhen didn't refuse and asked Guan Baiyu to follow him to the town early in the morning.

When he was selling rice balls, Guan Baiyu bought some chicken wings and drumsticks according to his request, and after he sold the rice balls, he didn't go home to rest, so he went to set up a stall next to the lottery ticket lottery square. fried skewers.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the lottery tickets went on sale, and various prizes were also displayed.

The first prize this time is a 17-inch black and white TV, the second prize is bicycles, there are several of them, and the third prize is electric fans, and there are even more.

There are some other prizes, the most is... Mimi Shrimp Crackers.

Shi Zhen glanced at it and turned it off. In his opinion, instead of pinning his hopes on winning the prize, it would be better to make money selling fried skewers.

There are a lot of people who come to the town today, and there are a lot of people who come to buy fried skewers. He is surrounded by people!

Fortunately, Guan Baiyu was there to help, otherwise he would definitely be too busy.

Shi Xinghuo couldn't go around to watch the excitement today, so he skewered fried skewers at the back of Shi Zhen's stall today, and immediately put them on Shi Zhen's grilled skewers stand.

Seeing this situation, Shi Zhen felt sorry, and said to Shi Xinghuo, "Brother, these days are quite busy, so I'll pay you ten yuan a day."

Shi Xinghuo said: "Oh...Ah Zhen, can I buy fried skewers for five yuan with my salary?"

Ever since Shi Zhen bought this fried skewer stall, he has been greedy every day, but it's a pity that Shi Zhen wants to sell it for money, so he doesn't give him much to eat.

Shi Zhen: "..."

Shi Zhen is not very interested in things like fried skewers, but if Shi Xinghuo likes... Shi Zhen asked him to choose what he wanted to eat, and the amount was five yuan.

Shi Xinghuo picked a two-yuan fried chicken leg, and used other fried skewers to make up three yuan.

It happened to be noon and there were a little less people, so Shi Zhen threw these fried skewers into the pot and asked Guan Baiyu, "Xiao Yu, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't need it." Guan Baiyu refused, these can be sold for money!

"Choose a string, it doesn't cost much," Shi Zhen said.

"Then... a fried sausage." Guan Baiyu picked out a small sausage of fifty cents.

Shi Zhen also threw it into the pot.

These things were fried quickly, Shi Zhen spread the paste, and the powdered powder, and handed it to Guan Baiyu and Shi Xinghuo after processing.

Shi Xinghuo feasted on it, but Guan Baiyu passed it to Shi Zhen first.

Shi Zhen bit about one-fifth of it, and said he didn't like it, Guan Baiyu tasted it little by little, and cherished it very much.

For the first time, Shi Zhen knew that a fried sausage could still be eaten for half an hour.

During the period, someone came to buy fried skewers, and Guan Baiyu collected money with his fried sausage in his mouth, which was so cute.

"Isn't this Xiaoyu? Your business is very good!" A voice sounded, Shi Zhen looked down and saw Guan Pinguo.

Cough cough, Guan Pingguo is really short.

Little grandma, the eldest son who has never been married, is short in stature, with a short head and a bit of a monkey cheek. He holds several lottery tickets in his hand, and stands next to Shi Zhen's stall to scratch the prize.

A shave would make the complexion a bit uglier.

This lottery ticket costs two yuan each. Shi Zhen thought about asking Guan Baiyu to buy one for fun, but he thought that there would be many places to spend money in the future, so he finally gave up.

Guan Pingguo didn't have any income at all, and he bought a dozen of them at once... How much did he want to get rich?

However, for this kind of thing, only a few people can win the lottery, and most of them are used as the denominator.

Sure enough, Guan Pinguo got nothing out of it, so he could only go to get a few packs of Mimi Shrimp Crackers, which was a consolation prize.

Shi Zhen set up a stall here today, and has already met a dozen villagers. Some of them left after saying hello, and some bought something, but no one stayed behind.

Chat with him next time, after all, he looks very busy.

After Guan Pingguo failed to win the prize, he stayed and talked endlessly, saying that according to his speculation, there might be a first prize in the box, and that he had too little money to buy it...

"Shi Zhen, lend me some money, and I'll buy it. When I win the first prize and sell the prize, I'll pay you back double." Guan Pinguo said.

Shi Zhen: "..." If you win the lottery, you will pay double, but what if you don't win the lottery?

Shi Zhen didn't speak, Guan Pinguo said again: "Shi Zhen, I'm really sure, at least I can win the second prize!"

"Uncle, my family owes money, and the money I earn will be used to pay off the debt, so I can't lend you the money." Shi Zhen made up a random reason.

It is impossible to borrow money anyway.

Doesn't he have money to give Guan Baiyu flowers?Why did you lend it to Guan Pingguo?

"It's not that I won't pay you back!" Guan Pinguo was a little annoyed.

Shi Zhen smiled and said nothing.

Guan Pingguo was able to bend and stretch, and at this time he said again: "If you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it...you fry a sausage for me." What he pointed to was a big sausage sold by Shi Zhen for one yuan.

Shi Zhen said: "Uncle, this sausage is one yuan."

"Aren't you paid only after you eat? How can you give money before you eat?" Guan Pinguo asked.

Shi Zhen didn't bother to maintain the superficial peace, and looked at him coldly: "Uncle, do you have money? The things here are only paid for by the money!"

Of course Guan Pinguo had no money.

He didn't dare to steal Shi Zhen's things like his mother and run away.

Guan Pingguo said angrily: "You are an outsider, what are you doing! Guan Baiyu, are you just watching him bully your uncle?"

Guan Baiyu also ignored him.

Guan Pingguo became even more angry: "Guan Baiyu, you have a backer and become arrogant? Do you think he treats you sincerely? He just eats you for nothing, lives for you for nothing, and treats you as a free worker! You don't have anything Know!"

Guan Baiyu generally doesn't argue with these elders, he is not a serious Guan family member, and always feels that he is lowered.

But now he is very angry: "Don't talk nonsense, my brother treats me well!" He knows best how his brother treats him!

Guan Pingguo's face was full of contempt: "He treats you well? Pooh, isn't this why you are not allowed to study..."

"Are you finished? Believe it or not, I'll pour oil on you?" Shi Zhendao: "Guan Pingguo, if you want money and the ability to find your son, don't look for me! Also, do you still want to win a lottery with your virtue? Go home Go to sleep, dreams have everything."

Guan Pingguo, who hates people mentioning that he has no son the most, glanced at the frying pan, blushed and ran away.

Guan Baiyu saw it and looked at Shi Zhen with admiration, what his brother said was really good, it hit Guan Guoping's sore spot!

Still his elder brother is the most powerful, articulate and not afraid of anyone.
