Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"A waiter?" Director Zhu smiled.

"What, Chang Kun, do you have something on your mind?"

Chang Kun nodded: "I do have an idea. I have an aunt who is very kind and hardworking, so she would be perfect for a waitress job."

"This..." Director Zhu paused for a moment, "Who isn't diligent these days!"

"Uncle Zhu, I was just kidding. If we can get this spot, we'll cover the cost of that big pig in the kitchen."

"Oh?" Director Zhu's face immediately broke into a smile. "How could I accept this? Come on, sit down and let's have a drink!"

"So, Uncle Zhu, does that mean you agree?"

"Hehe, what's our relationship? This is a sure thing!"

Having received a large pig, Director Zhu was in a good mood and patted his chest, promising, "Xiao Kun, you'll get back to me in a day or two at the earliest, and four or five at the latest."

"Then thank you very much, Uncle Zhu."

Chang Kun knew that these days, as long as you have meat to pave the way, most problems can be easily solved.

Just like in later generations, money can often solve most problems.

"Uncle Zhu, I'll be going now, I have some things to take care of."

"Hey, it's lunchtime, what could be going on? Have a couple of drinks with me, and I'll have your Uncle Zhu prepare a couple of good dishes for us to enjoy!" Without waiting for a reply, Old Zhu pressed Chang Kun down in front of the desk.

Alright, I'll have to cook for myself when I get back anyway, so I might as well mooch a meal here. They say friendships are built over drinks, and there's a tiny bit of truth to that.

A moment later, Chef Zhu brought in a plate of stir-fried pork.

"Chang Kun, I cut off the best parts, there are only two or three pounds left, let's try them first."

"Oh? Uncle Zhu, what's the best place to eat?" Chang Kun really didn't know. When it came to food, the chef was much more knowledgeable than him.

"Hey, let me tell you, the best part of a pig is the pork shoulder, also called the sandwich meat. If a pig weighing two or three hundred pounds can yield two or three pounds of pork shoulder, that's considered pretty good."

"This piece of meat has alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and when cut open, it resembles a plum blossom. It's tender and juicy, fragrant but not greasy. Whether stir-fried, pan-fried, or stewed, it's the best way to cook it."

When it comes to food, Chef Zhu is an expert, eloquent and knowledgeable speaker.

"Alright, you've finished talking, hurry up and go, don't keep me from drinking with Xiao Kun." When Director Zhu saw the stir-fried pork belly, he quickly took the plate and pushed it out with both hands towards Chef Zhu.

"Hey! Brother, you're already rushing the chef before you've even finished your drink!" Chef Zhu remained unmoved, sitting upright at his desk and pouring himself a full glass of wine.

After tasting a piece of pork belly, it was indeed as Chef Zhu had said: even wild boar is incredibly tender and juicy.

Director Zhu and his brother devoured the meat like gluttons descending to earth, stuffing it into their mouths with their cheeks wide open.

"Xiao Kun, let me tell you, this pork shoulder is usually given to the leaders. This time you traded a whole wild boar for this waiter position, so I can also enjoy the feast."

"We've all been enjoying good food thanks to Grandpa Zhu. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that such a big pig could have such a small piece of good meat."

The three of them ate with their mouths full of oil. Only their own pig could receive such treatment. If it were in later generations, you wouldn't be able to buy pork belly at the market unless you knew the person.

After discussing the waiter position with Director Zhu, and enjoying a delicious meal, Chang Kun walked out of the state-run restaurant with a satisfied burp.

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, Xiu'er, it's time to go home."

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw three little girls looking up at the big tree at the alley entrance.

"Big brother, what delicious food did you eat?" Chang Qing asked, noticing the grease on Chang Kun's lips.

"This meal was treated by Uncle Zhu from the restaurant. If you ever get hungry in the future, just come here to eat and tell them your older brother is Chang Kun, and they'll put it on your tab, understand?"

The three little girls nodded, then shook their heads.

When they first arrived in the city, they were very timid and dared not enter the state-run restaurants. If it weren't for their mother working at the supply and marketing cooperative, they wouldn't have dared to step into the cooperative's gate either.

Seeing his three younger sisters like this, Chang Kun knew that the little girl was still shy.

Take it slow. Children always need time to adjust. Take them a few times next time, and they won't be afraid anymore.

"Brother, why don't you catch some catfish for us? We haven't had any in ages."

Chang Kun: ...

These girls are craning their necks to look up at the tree; they're looking for stinging caterpillars...

"Please, big brother..." Seeing that Chang Kun wouldn't agree, the three little girls shook his arm back and forth.

"That stuff doesn't even taste good, why do you guys insist on eating it?"

Xiuer drooled, "Xiaoqing and Xiaomu both said it's delicious, I want to eat it too."

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you guys. Xiaoqing, go home and get the bamboo pole for picking dates."

The three girls rushed home, but Xiu'er was the slowest. Chang Kun scooped her up and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Alright, let the two older sisters go get them. Let's eat some melon seeds."

He took out a handful of melon seeds from his spatial storage and gave a small handful to Xiuer.

"Hmm, I'm going to peel a bunch and eat them all together." Xiu'er's speech became more fluent and her articulation clearer.

"Whatever you want." Watching Xiuer painstakingly peel the sunflower seeds one by one is also a kind of fun.

Just three or four minutes later, Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu, one carrying the head and the other the tail, came running over, panting, carrying a long bamboo pole.

"Big brother, here it is!"

"Wow, big brother, I want some sunflower seeds too!"

Chang Kun divided the remaining sunflower seeds among the two girls, grabbed a bamboo pole, and instructed, "You guys stay back, watch out for those stinging caterpillars falling down and stinging you!"

"Uh-huh……"

Chang Qing and Chang Mu ate sunflower seeds without spitting out the shells; they would put them directly into their mouths, chew them until they were mushy, and then swallow them after a couple of chews.

Xiuer peeled the sunflower seeds one by one and carefully put them into her small pocket, like a little squirrel hiding nuts.

Using the system's sensors to detect caterpillars is a waste of its potential.

As leaves fell one by one and more than a dozen caterpillars were knocked down, Chang Kun stopped, knowing that eating too much of these things was not good.

"Wow, this citrus plant is so green!"

"I have a red one here!"

"Be careful, don't touch them with the back of your hands, these stinging caterpillars sting really hard!" Chang Kun was very experienced; he had been stung many times when he was a child.

This thing can only sting areas with pores. Since the palms of the hands don't have pores, you're not afraid of being stung at all.

"We all know, just keep an eye on Xiuer, big brother." Chang Qing put on a big sister's demeanor; she had eaten plenty of spicy food back in her hometown.

The three girls carefully carried the chili peppers home and urged Chang Kun, "Big brother, hurry up and help us roast them, I can't wait!"

Skewer the chili peppers with a small stick; you don't even need firewood to roast them, just one match is enough.

The little girls squatted nearby, drooling as they waited for their older brother to finish grilling.

Before they even started grilling, Chang Kun noticed Chang Qing's mouth moving, as if he were eating something.

"Xiaoqing, what are you eating? You can't eat this raw!"

Chang Qing waved his hand dismissively, turned his head to the side, chewed a few times quickly, and swallowed what was in his mouth.

Xiuer leaned close to Chang Qing's mouth and sniffed: "Big brother, Xiao Qing is eating sunflower seeds. Didn't she finish them a long time ago?"

She suddenly realized what was happening and reached into her small pocket, where she found the sunflower seeds she had painstakingly peeled.

But now, all the sunflower seeds have vanished!

"Chang Qing, you stole my sunflower seeds!"

Brother! Chang Qing stole my sunflower seeds!
