Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Zhang Qianjin ran to the sheep, and he didn't think it was dirty, so he directly touched the lamb. One lamb was trembling under his hands, and the other lamb became angry after being touched, and directly hit Zhang with his head. Daughter.

The dogs at home immediately barked loudly around the dairy sheep, bared their teeth, and tried to bite them, scaring the two sheep into their mother's belly, and the ewe trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. non-stop.

Everyone looked at it and felt that the dog at home is really nice. It doesn’t cost much to raise a dog, and you can feed it with some leftover soup, but they definitely pay much more than what you give it.

People in the village used to be poor, but now relying on Zhang’s family to earn a lot of money, the savings in their hands have increased, and meat can always be seen on the dinner table two or three times a month, so many people also have the idea of ​​raising dogs.

It just so happened that Xiaohu gave birth to another litter of puppies last year. Because of the good food, there were eight puppies in this litter, all of which were chubby, which attracted Zhou Nan's love and made the twins jealous twice.

Soon, the villagers separated the eight puppies, and the little milk dog could often be heard barking softly at night.

Because they are all in the village, Xiaohu sometimes goes down to see them and teach them some housekeeping skills. Everyone says that Xiaohu is a good dog.

There are more dogs, but the thieves did not catch them, but there will be no fewer hens and chicks in the house. Those small animals that like to steal chickens have stopped coming to the village, and even the mice have decreased a lot.

The tabby cat raised by Li Yan's family is also fat now, and it is no longer soft and cute as a child. The figure of the mouse jumping from the roof dispelled the idea of ​​reducing this guy's food, otherwise the farmer would not raise such a thing if he only eats but does not work.

Zhang Shu talked to everyone outside, then drove the ewe and milk goat into the pen where the two sheep were kept, washed his hands, and went to see Li Mujin and Zhang Erbao in the room.

Zhang Erbao is like a little pig, and now he only knows how to sleep. He raises his hands up, clenching his little fists, his face is flushed from sleeping, and his tiger head and tiger brain look so cute.

Li Muqin is much more bored, now that the weather is hotter, no one can sit here and talk to him all day long, he can only tease the child, but this child only knows how to sleep.

"Why have you been here for so long?"

"Young Master Chu and the others were delayed for a while. By the way, I gave them the recipe for tea and eggs, and they didn't take the money."

"Give it to me. He can't drive across from us anyway." Li Mujin could see it. It turned out that when he and Zhang Shu only had a few dozen taels of silver, they were not living well. Now they have a few thousand taels, about That is to say, if you have enough confidence, there is nothing else, so if you don’t accept it, you don’t accept it.

Bottom line, here's one thing.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zhou Nan and Li Muzhen went to the cloth store in the county to buy fabrics and brought them home. They had to be new from head to toe for the New Year. Now that the house is healed, everyone has to wear new clothes. I don't want to make money.

The drapery shop they used to go to was closed today, so they went to another one at the end of the street.There are not many people in this store, but there are quite a few guys. Two or three people are crowded in front of the counter, chatting lazily.

When Li Mujin and the others walked in, only one person looked up at them, and found that they were wearing common clothes, and the faint enthusiasm in their eyes disappeared without a trace. Chatted.

Li Muqin was pregnant and was a little angry. Seeing them like this made her feel unhappy. What do you mean, watching people order dishes?

Zhou Nan tugged at him, signaling to take a quick look and don't bother with this kind of guy.

Li Mujin also listened to the persuasion, a few people looked at the fabric, but the ordinary cotton cloth in this store is not very soft, it feels like coarse cloth, and the coarse cloth is a bit sticky to the touch, what's going on?

They touched it for a while, discussing the issue of the fabric while touching it. When a guy saw it, he raised his voice and said, "Guests, buy it if you want to buy it, and let go if you can't afford it. Our fabrics are all stamped. "

Zhou Nan beckoned to them, "Is your cotton cloth mixed with coarse cloth, why doesn't it feel soft at all?"

The guy didn't move, just said, "You are probably used to wearing coarse cloth, so everything looks like coarse cloth. We are all pure cotton fabrics here. We have been selling them for so many years. I can't afford you. Don't be picky either!"

Zhou Nan's face turned red at what he said. He used to be from a poor family, and he could hardly wear a suit of clothes for four or five years, but he couldn't fail to feel any fabric.

Li Mujin exploded now, he sneered, "Find out your shopkeeper!"

The guys raised their heads in an instant, looked at Li Mujin's appearance, and smiled, "It's useless for you to find our shopkeeper. Our shopkeeper won't accept business under ten taels."

Li Mujin casually took out a 50 tael silver ticket from her body, and waved it in front of the clerk, "I don't know if you can read or not, if you can, go and call the shopkeeper, or we will leave, and you will just wait." Eat Pai Tou!"

There are no bank notes issued by the bank with a denomination of less than ten taels, and they clearly saw the five characters on it, 50 taels?This is worth the money their store earned in two months. The guys quickly changed their faces, and while calling for the shopkeeper, they warmly greeted them to look at the fabrics.

The so-called "pure cotton" fabric before has been thrown away. The new fabric brought by the guys is soft and delicate to the touch, and the texture of the fabric looks very fine. This is the authentic cotton fabric, but in this store , they are called "fine cotton cloth", and they are three Wen more expensive than ordinary one foot.

Li Mujin and Zhou Nan didn't say whether it was okay or not, and let them take it over, so they opened it to have a look, and squeezed it in their hands.It turned out that their behavior was regarded as petty, but now that the bank notes came out, this kind of behavior turned into a performance of the rich.

They were even more excited, not only took out all the cotton, but also brought out two or three bolts of silk and satin. Li Mujin touched it unceremoniously, and asked Zhou Nan to have a look together.In fact, this silk is not as smooth as the few silks kept in Li Mujin's house, and they were all given by those young masters.

The shopkeeper finally came. He listened to the book at Chenji Tea House and complained a little when he was called back, but when he heard that there was a business of 50 taels to be done, he immediately regained his energy.

Seeing the shopkeeper, Li Mujin said, "You belong to the shopkeeper?"

"Yes, yes, I am." The shopkeeper didn't look like a good stubble in his manner. Although he was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, could a person who made a shot of 50 taels be an ordinary person?

"Is this how the guys in your store entertain customers? They don't greet customers when they come, and they even make sarcastic remarks when they choose things. What's the problem with this kind of respecting clothes first and then people, and watching people order dishes? Today You have met us, you have a bad temper and don’t care about you, if you meet someone else with a bad temper another day, the store will be smashed for you!”

Li Mujin finished what she wanted to say in a clack, and stopped talking when she saw that the faces of several people in the cloth shop had turned pale.

He slowly put the 50 taels of silver bill back on himself, and then pulled Zhou Nan out of the store. The shopkeeper hurriedly called out, "Guest, don't you want to buy this?"

"What else to buy, I'm full of anger, I'll talk about it after I get rid of the fire!" After finishing speaking, the two walked away.

Zhou Nan's breath was released, and the unhappiness of being looked down upon by others disappeared. Although money is not the best thing, its help is absolutely indispensable for walking in this world.

……

A customer came to Zhang's shop recently and seemed to like their food very much. He came to eat breakfast in the morning and hot and sour noodles at noon and night. After eating for three or four days in a row, it caught their attention.

The guest would always ask some questions when they were free, such as "Is the store busy? How many employees are usually recruited? Will there be any vigil at night?" The second aunt secretly guessed that this person wanted to He asked so carefully to find something to do.

But she has no shortage of people here. It turns out that she and the youngest son of the old family are here to help. At the beginning of the year, the eldest son and daughter-in-law also came, because Zhang Shu also bought the shop next to it, and the business in the shop was improved. The child has expanded a lot.

In order to dispel the guest's thoughts, the second aunt exaggerated a little, saying that there were more than a dozen people in the store, and there were four or five night watchmen. After hearing what she said, the guest left with a bad face.But she can't help it. Otherwise, can he give up the idea?

The man who came to inquire about the news this time looked so ordinary that people could forget it at a glance. His name was Zhao Laoer, and he was also a member of the water bandit four.

He went back to the boat, and when he told this story, his thoughts of going to the store at night to kill and set fire disappeared. There were only four of them, and the weapons in their hands were only short daggers. Instead of killing those few, they startled the snake and woke up everyone around them.

There is an organization on the river that collects money to protect these business people. They will send people to patrol at night. If they fall into their hands, they will all be licking blood from the knife edge. Who doesn't know who?

If one plan fails, they can only think of another plan, but they can't think of anything other than murder and arson when a few people get together. Know the others.

On this day, Saninch Nail came back from his "business" with a bundle in his hand, which was a relic left by the ship's passengers, a bag of dried plums.

Sancunding gave it to everyone to eat, and scolded while eating, "Fuck it, hold a bag of dry goods so tightly, I made me think it was silver taels, and I thought I met a fat sheep today, but I didn't expect it to be this It took me a lot of effort to give him a knife and kick him into the water."

Several water bandits are scolding, these people are poor, generally those who have a lot of money will not make this kind of boat, only those who don’t have so much money and are in a hurry will take this kind of boat.

I don't know if it's because I ate too much dried plums. I nailed Sancun a few times at night, my face turned pale, and acid water came out of my mouth.

Others have it too, but not as badly as him.

Three Inch Nail lay on the bed and cursed weakly, "Son of a bitch, I have become like this after eating his food. If he is still alive, I must give him a good lesson. How dare I give such a thing to me!" eat?"

One of the water bandits suddenly had an idea, if someone sells food and eats it to death, hehe...

Panshan Village

"Father Shuanzi, come out for a walk again."

A brother with a puffed stomach responded with a smile, "Yeah, I'll just walk around."

He was waiting for Brother Ah Shan to come home. He went to the city to do business, and he said he brought him dried plums when he came back. Why didn't he come back?The child in my stomach is hungry.

He stood at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance all the time...
