Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Chu Shaoyang and Liu Zimo were going to leave after staying for a few days. When he left, he moved two jars of all the side dishes made by Grandma Zhang. Move all his family's things away and take them on the road to eat, so that whether it's eating or eating noodles, you can eat it right away.

Before leaving, Zhang Shu took them to the other side of the river to see if there were any milk-producing sheep for sale. Only one of the two in the family was not producing milk.

Chu Shaoyang and Liu Zimo took a deep breath when they smelled the fragrance coming from Zhang's small shop. This fragrance is too tempting, and there is also a smell of tea.

Seeing their appearance, Zhang Shu took them there directly. He greeted the two aunts first, and then looked at the situation in the store. There were too many people sitting and eating breakfast, and it was hard to find a place for the two together. , He simply led them to the backyard, and then helped them get some breakfast for them to taste.

After a period of running-in, their breakfast shop sells a lot of things.For example, porridge, there are mung bean porridge, red bean porridge, sweet porridge, lean meat porridge, vegetable porridge, and fish porridge. Of course, white porridge is also indispensable.

The hot and sour noodles have completely taken over the market in the afternoon, so they stopped selling them in the morning and sold some noodles instead.Three Wen in a small bowl of plain noodles, five Wen in a large bowl, four Wen in a small bowl of shredded pork noodles, and seven Wen in a large bowl.After distributing large and small bowls in this way, some children or brothers and daughters-in-law with small appetites will not be wasted.Those guys can eat a bowl even if they order it, so everyone is happy.

In addition, they also made some other things, such as fried poached eggs, one and a half pennies, tea eggs boiled in a pot, or four pennies, fried autumn potato cakes, palm-sized two pennies each, There are also their steamed buns, and occasionally a steamed basket of glutinous rice cakes for sale, which greatly aroused everyone's appetite, and also made Zhang's small shop famous in the river.

After Chu Shaoyang and the others ate breakfast, they insisted on asking Zhang Shu to sell him the recipe of tea eggs. This thing can always be warmed on the stove, and it is always hot, which is suitable for them northerners to eat.

Zhang Shu had no choice but to take a bag of materials from the kitchen and give it to him. He was too lazy to write the recipe, and he could see it at a glance with this cook.

Chu Shaoyang asked for money, but Zhang Shu refused.The ginseng he sent earlier was almost in the shape of a human being, and it would be very expensive if it was sold. How could he have the nerve to ask for this.

Chu Shaoyang recognized Zhang Shu's righteousness again, he patted Zhang Shu on the shoulder and left without saying anything.I don't know what he will bring to Zhang Shu next time.

Zhang Shu sent them off, and then stood on the big river watching the boats coming and going.

There are thirty to forty large ships passing through the river every day, and hundreds of medium passenger ships and merchant ships, not to mention the small boats.

Just these boats are enough to feed the business people in the river.He feels very lucky, because he was born in such a place with convenient transportation. Here, as long as you are diligent and smart enough, you will not starve to death. Unlike other places, you work hard in the fields all day long. When it's time to starve to death, I will still starve to death, God will not save any kindness.

Zhang Shu sighed with emotion, then turned and left.

"Boss, it's that kid, I can see it clearly!" A short man with a sullen face said to a person.

"Are you sure?" The boss's face was as heavy as water, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

"I'm sure! Last time I saw it clearly on the boat, he is tall and looks good. Most importantly, he has a soybean-sized birthmark on the side of his neck!"

Zhang Shu didn't expect that he would be observed so carefully, let alone that he would be complained so much. It has been a year or two, and there are still people who remember him clearly.

"Send someone to follow him quietly and see where he's going!" The boss gave an order, and the dwarf quickly found an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and asked him to follow him far behind the Zhang tree.

……

This group of people were the water bandits who wanted to hijack the Nanjia merchant ship in front of Zhangzhou Port last time. After being frightened by Zhang Shu's serial killing of two people last time, they didn't dare to take the lead for a while.

I don't know what the background of the young master on the merchant ship was, he could have made the navy of the imperial court chase them all the time, and even set up traps to lure them into the bait a few years ago.

At that time, the eldest brother was distracted by the imperial court's hot pursuit. Seeing that the deal was huge, he decided to dismiss the brothers after finishing the deal, and quit.

But unexpectedly, the brothers were indeed gone, most of them were dead, floating on the water with their eyes wide open.In this battle, they lost more than 100 brothers, and only four survived.

Fortunately, their boss is still alive, otherwise, the group will have no leader, and I really don't know what to do.

They disguised themselves, rowed a small boat, avoided the court's search, and came to such a small city. Obviously, the court's navy targets were all placed in big places, and they were so relieved.

They waved a small boat on the river, doing the business of welcoming guests, and when the boat sailed into the reeds, they killed people and destroyed the corpses, so they could maintain their livelihood.But when they thought of the past scenery, they still couldn't avoid a burst of resentment in their hearts.

What they hate most is of course the navy of the imperial court, but if the people don't fight with the officials, they can't help it no matter how much they hate.The second thing I hated was the young master on the boat that day, who chased after them without a penny.The third person I hate is Zhang Shu. If the whole plan hadn't been destroyed by this person, none of the following would have happened.

Now that they see Zhang Shu, they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to retaliate against him.

……

It was indeed Young Master Nanda who took revenge on the water bandits. Although his family was a merchant, his natal family was different.There is an uncle in my mother's family who is a Beijing official. Before he came out, he received a lot of care from his mother, so he also gave them more support.

The last time he was in danger, he wanted to hide it from his mother, but the servants who followed him told his mother too much, which made his mother panic for a while.

When he knew there was such a person as Zhang Shu, his mother wanted to go to thank him in person, but he stopped him, because he always felt that Zhang Shu was a bit unpredictable.He personally went to Zhang Shu's house to buy some vermicelli, and chatted with him for a long time, but found nothing.

Because of that dream, he always dreamed that he was thrown into the sea, and sank in that icy place with his eyes closed.

After going on like this for several nights, he didn't even dare to sleep at night, as long as he fell asleep, he would feel a sense of suffocation.

Last night's maid told his mother about it, and he thought about it before telling his mother about the dream.His mother was horrified when she heard this, and thought in her heart that if she hadn't met that Zhang Shu, this might be her son's final destination.

Thinking that her only root in this life was almost broken in the hands of these disgusting water bandits, Mrs. Nan gritted her teeth, wishing she could swallow them alive.

She hurriedly set off to the capital, vowing to ask her younger brother to get rid of her son's nightmare.

His uncle was also very angry when he heard it. It happened that the court was talking about how to broaden trade routes and attract businessmen from various countries to come to Nanhai County for business. He wrote a memorial, saying that there is a water bandit in Nanhai County. They removed it, fearing that the visitors would not be able to do business with peace of mind.

After hearing this, the emperor agreed very much, so he directly ordered the Ministry of War to catch the water bandits quickly and kill them on the spot.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War sent someone to notify the [-] sailors stationed near Nanhai County, and asked them to divide into several teams to strangle the water bandits. Finally, the serious troubles were removed, and Master Nan could sleep soundly.

Mrs. Nan felt at ease when she saw that he was recovering. She also cared about Zhang Shu who saved her son's life. She secretly decided that if something happened to Zhang Shu, she would never just sit idly by.

……

Zhang Shu went back to Zhang's small shop first, chatted with these people in the shop, and then went back with the carriage.

The eleven or twelve-year-old child followed all the way to Zhang's small shop, and saw Zhang Shu driving the carriage out. He knew he couldn't keep up with the carriage, so he returned directly.

The dwarf was called Three Inch Nails, and when he saw the child coming back, he inquired carefully, and when he learned that Zhang Shu had something to do with Zhang's small shop, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face, which made the child tremble with fright and fear. looking at him.

Three Inch Nail glanced at him with some disdain in his eyes, he casually took out a handful of copper coins from his body and threw them to him.Then he went back to report the news to his boss.

Zhang Shu never imagined that a conspiracy was about to happen.

He parked the car by the market in the city, and got out of the car to look at the dairy sheep in the place where the livestock was sold.

It was also his luck that someone happened to be driving milk goats to sell them today.However, the man asked that it is okay to buy the milk sheep, but the milk sheep and its two lambs must be bought together, otherwise the lambs will not be able to support them.

Zhang Shu pondered for a while. Anyway, there are many animals in the house now, so he just bought them back. Maybe he can eat mutton to warm up at the end of the year.

After paying one tael and four hundred Wen, Zhang Shu led the three sheep back to the carriage, and then grabbed them into the carriage.When the sheep got into the car, they were very flustered and always wanted to jump down. Zhang Shu drove the car all the way to press the sheep, and he was sweating profusely in this March day.

Fortunately, at the intersection of the town, I met Zhou Nan's father who came down to sell herbs and went home. He asked him to ride in the car with him, which made the sheep settle down.

"My father-in-law, will you come to my house for dinner today?"

"No, no, I'll go to Li's to eat." Zhou Nan's father has become more diligent since he had two little grandchildren. From time to time, he would sell herbs and buy some pastries to coax the two fat grandchildren.

"Come on, I'll ask my father-in-law to come down and eat at my house today. There are still some rare northern things that haven't been touched yet. You always stay at my house as a guest and accompany my grandfather for a drink or two."

Aunt Zhou nodded, they are all relatives, and there is really no need to be formal.Thanks to Ah Nan's efforts to find such a good man, otherwise, relying on his useless father alone, it is estimated that he will live a life of fullness and hunger for the rest of his life.

When we arrived at Zhang's house, the yard was already very lively.The twins were wearing small clothes, sitting on a big mat at the bottom of the tree, and they turned their heads in unison when they heard the sound. They are now more than eight months old and already know how to recognize people.Seeing Zhang Shu and Father Zhou, he excitedly threw up his little hands.

Zhang Qianjin, who was squatting outside to play with them, immediately stood up, and then rushed towards Zhang Shu with a smile, "Daddy!"

Without waiting for Zhang Shu's introduction, he called Grandpa Zhou again to Father Zhou.I was so happy that Father Zhou immediately took out the cakes bought in the town and handed them to him.

Zhang Qianjin looked at him with a smile, said thank you, and then went to look for the two younger brothers with cakes, fed them cakes, and even wiped their mouths with small handkerchiefs.

Everyone laughed, "Our daughter is really capable, she will take care of my younger brother."

Zhang Qianjin smiled shyly, and ran to hide behind Zhang Shu.After hiding, he found two white things.

His eyes lit up, "Daddy, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"

Looking at Qianjin's big shining eyes, Zhang Shu seems to have seen the scene where the New Year's mutton ran away with the pot...
