No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 217 Guan Ren is such a good person!
In the evenings of May, night markets began to spring up along the streets.

Cold noodles, jelly noodles, squid, stinky tofu, grilled sausage, ice jelly, jelly shrimp... all kinds of snacks are available.

This is also a time when self-employed individuals can make a small amount of money.

After all, even some high school students would set up simple stalls by the river or in squares during summer vacation to earn pocket money.

As early as the end of April, Guan Ren had already thought of some things related to this.

Then, the first thing he did was to ask An Shui Rou if she had any plans to launch new products in the summer.

In response, An Shuirou stated:

"It's been so many years, what new products are there? Big items like braised pork knuckle and steamed bowls are too much for us to handle, and small items don't make much money. We might as well spend more time making chicken wings and chicken feet."

Chicken wings and chicken feet, braised dishes, are indeed popular in the summer.

Putting aside what others might say, Guan Ren and his mother are big spenders.

But after thinking about it, Guan Ren still felt that Ping An Fresh Braised Food had great potential in the summer.

"Sister Shui Rou, have you not launched any new products in previous summers?"

An Shui Rou gently bit her lower lip, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head:

"No."

Ah~ As expected of Sister Shui Rou, even her head shake is so gentle~
Guan Ren chuckled inwardly, but put on a serious face and said:
"Sister Shui Rou, how about we make some small gadgets that are easy to make and sell?"

"What gadget?"

"Edamame and peanuts!"

Upon hearing this, An Shui Rou pretended to think and blinked.

These two ingredients are indeed very easy to cook using the materials and equipment at [Ping An Fresh Braised Food]; you can make a large pot without much effort.

Summer is here now, which is the perfect time to enjoy these things and drink beer at night.

Moreover, although the price is low, the profit is still quite good compared to the cost.

After all, few people would bother to prepare a whole bunch of ingredients and make a broth just for a simple dish of cold edamame and peanuts at home. So even if buying it is more expensive than making it, many people would rather buy it from outside because it's more convenient.

"Moreover, besides the extra income, edamame and peanuts can also boost sales of other products."

"Hmm, that makes sense... You mean make chilled drinks?"

"Correct!"

……

In this area, many people enjoy eating "cold drinks" in the summer.

The original text for "冷淡杯" is "冷啖杯".

It's not a dish, but rather, like "street food stalls" and "night beer," it refers to a type of food.

It refers to various cold dishes and side dishes eaten in summer, often accompanied by alcohol.

Among them, edamame, peanuts, and broad beans, these three national-level snacks that accompany alcohol, also belong to the "sweet and delicious" category in cold drinks.

It's easy to imagine that chicken feet, chicken wings, and duck necks would be indispensable in such a cold drink.

In such a situation, many people who want to buy food and drinks to eat indoors might prefer to buy all the dishes from the same stall for the most convenient reason.

So, when Ping An Fresh Braised Food sells edamame and peanuts, it naturally creates a synergistic effect where one plus one equals more than two.

"Guan Ren, that's a great suggestion! Hmm... I'll buy some goods first, and try making it during the May Day holiday."

……

So now, in May, Anjia's peanuts and edamame are also on sale.

Guan Ren asked An Ning, who said business was very good.

Guan Ren then personally came to Meteor Road to take a look.

"Meow~"

Just as they arrived at [Ping An Fresh Braised Food], a white cat-like creature leaped up and pounced on Guan Ren.

"Go away!"

"Meow?"

Tuan Tuan was shocked.

"Are you trying to kill me with all that fluffy stuff on such a hot day?"

"Meow…"

Tuantuan shrunk away to one side, looking resentful.

Is this what men are like?

They used to call her "Little Sweetie," now they call her "Fluffy Ball."

It felt the cat's paws trembling on this hot day, and its heart was cold.

An Guoguo was equally disheartened.

"Ugh."

She squatted on the curb, her little hand supporting her chin as she sighed.

Guan Ren chuckled and went over to stroke the little curly hair on her head:
"An'an, did you get a spanking again?"

"Guan Ren, Guan Ren, that woman next door stole my Want Want Ice Popsicle, can you help me get it back?"

Which woman?

"That woman."

An Guoguo was very angry and didn't want to mention that woman's name.

But Guan Ren already understood.

It's that little girl next door who always plays with An Guoguo. "Did you two fight again?"

"I bought some shaved ice and kindly offered it to her, but she...she..."

When Guan Ren complained, An Guoguo's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

Guan Ren looked at the half-eaten popsicle she was holding, not quite understanding:

"Didn't you share it with someone else? She only got half of it, she didn't take it from you."

"But she got the bigger half!"

"The extra half?"

"It's the pointed half!"

"..."

Guan Ren never knew that the half of the popsicle with the mouth is actually longer than the half of the round tail.

Even if it's more, how many milliliters more?
Perhaps the mature Guan Ren wouldn't care.

But for Anguoguo, who is only the size of a small nose, it is an astronomical figure.

It even concerns the dignity of children!
"How about this, I'll buy you another one."

"do not want!"

"?"

Guan Ren chuckled. When did this little guy become so principled when it comes to food?

But in reality, after An Guoguo's clumsy explanation and Guan Ren's speculation, he finally understood An Guoguo's logic:

[If you don't get a larger share during the distribution, it's pointless to have more popsicles on your own.]

"Ok."

Guan Ren was convinced by her, and reached out his big hand to take her small hand in his:

"Let's go buy another one, then split it with her again. Let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

An Guoguo's eyes lit up. She got up, patted her little pants, and then, holding Guan Ren's hand, happily followed him to buy shaved ice.

This time, Guan Ren bought two directly.

Then, following An Guoguo, we arrived at [Ping An Fresh Braised Food].

"Boss lady, business is good."

Guan Ren looked at the busy figures at the stall and said in a rough voice.

"It's alright, what do you want to eat... huh?"

An Shui Rou looked up and saw who it was, and immediately smiled reproachfully:

"Honestly, when did you learn to tease your older sister?"

This little man has already learned to tease her; won't he start bullying her in the future?
"Sister Shui Rou, your business is really booming right now."

"It's all thanks to your suggestion. Look, the big pot of edamame and peanuts we made this morning is all sold out now."

"It's mainly because Sister Shui Rou is such a good cook. Let me try one... Mmm! It's so delicious!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, An Guoguo anxiously tugged at Guan Ren's pants.

"Guan Ren, Guan Ren, the shaved ice is melting."

"Oh, Sister Shui Rou, I'll stay with An An for a while."

"Okay."

Watching Guan Ren's departing figure, An Shui Rou's gaze softened unconsciously.

These days, there really can only be one young man like him who loves children so much, is patient, and knows how to win their hearts...

……

Soon, Guan Ren took An Guoguo and went to share popsicles with the little girl next door.

This time, Anguo gave the two round ends to the other side and kept the two pointed ends for herself.

Now, two pointed tips + one rounded tip > two rounded tips + one pointed tip.

Anguo was very happy.

"Guan Ren, Guan Ren, I'll give you one..."

She handed Guan Ren the half-rounded one, then thought for a moment and took out the pointed one:

"Here are two for you!"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome~"

He bought the popsicle, but he still thanked me. Guan Ren is such a good person.

Anguo sighed, took a big gulp of crushed ice, and successfully froze the back of her head. She then ran back to drink hot water, groaning and moaning.

……

Even when it was a little later, An Guoguo was still thinking about Guan Ren's kindness. After letting out a burp, she announced in her babbling voice:
"Mom, sister, I've discovered that Guan Ren is such a good person!"

Upon hearing this, An Shui Rou and An Ning spoke in unison:
"Do you even need to say this?"

After saying this, the mother and daughter paused for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

The mother was still relieved that her daughter had made a good friend.

The daughter was still pleased that her mother had made a good friend despite the age difference.
