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

Aunt took Chang Kun and Xiao Shui home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she turned around and looked at Chang Kun seriously: "Xiao Kun, you should have a good talk with your aunt. How much did it cost to pay you for this job at the state-run restaurant? Your aunt will pay you back slowly when you earn your wages."

Chang Kun waved his hand: "Auntie, I hunted a wild boar in the mountains. The state-run restaurant needed it, so I used it to exchange for this job. I didn't spend a penny of money."

Money isn't that important these days; compared to that, supplies like food and meat are far more important.

"A wild boar is worth a lot of money, at least several hundred. Don't worry about it. I'll definitely pay you back when I earn my wages. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease with this job."

Chang Kun nodded indifferently, saying he would talk about it later. As long as he could work in the city and receive a food ration, at least no one would starve to death in these times.

"Mom, let's cook this pheasant quickly! There are also so many wild eggs, how are we going to eat them?" Xiao Shui was getting impatient as her mother and older brother kept nagging.

"You're such a glutton! You want pheasant and eggs too!" My aunt picked out four wild eggs, walked towards the stove, and muttered, "I'll boil you an egg. Your older brother caught these, so you're just enjoying the good life!"

"I know, Big Brother is the best!" After staying at home for a few days, Xiao Shui's mouth became as sweet as Chang Qing's.

"Auntie, don't just boil eggs like that, I'll make something different."

"What's different? Your aunt's family doesn't have any oil for you to use." Fan Erxiao recalled Liu Meifen's complaints about Chang Kun, saying that the oil her whole family used for a month wasn't enough for Chang Kun to cook one meal.

"Hehe, just wait and eat, no oil needed," Chang Kun instructed. "Xiao Shui, go boil some water, and Auntie, go get some wet mud."

After the water in the pot boiled, Xiao Shui stopped adding firewood. Chang Kun added a little water to a bowl, cracked the wild eggs into the bowl, and slowly slid the wild eggs into the boiling water.

It is said that this method prevents the poached eggs from falling apart and makes them easier to shape.

One by one, the wild eggs were placed into the boiling water, a total of 18 eggs, which looked quite beautiful scattered in the water.

After waiting for two or three minutes, I scooped them out one by one. At this point, the poached eggs still had a little bit of runny yolk inside, making them incredibly smooth and tender to bite into.

Xiao Shui had been worried about her mother all day and was already starving. She picked up the bowl and started eating without caring that it was too hot for her mouth.

"Big brother, wild eggs are so delicious! You should try some!" She ate with a beaming smile.

"You eat it. When your mother comes back, your older brother will make you beggar's chicken."

"Ah! That's great!" When they stayed at Chang Kun's house, Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu mentioned the name of beggar's chicken several times, saying how delicious it was. Xiao Shui's mouth watered a lot.

Before his aunt returned, his uncle got home from get off work first.

"Xiao Kun? You're really home! I thought the villagers were mistaken!" When I entered the village earlier, some villagers told me to hurry home and see that my nephew had come and that there was some great news.

He was completely confused and hurried home.

"Where's your aunt? Why didn't she stay home to entertain her nephew? Where did she go?"

Chang Kun greeted him cheerfully, "My aunt went out to get something done; she'll be making some beggar's chicken for dinner tonight."

"Oh my, so many wild eggs, and five pheasants...?" Liu Meilin then noticed the prey by the door frame.

"I caught it while I was in the mountains, so I don't have to cook anything else tonight."

"My nephew is really something, catching so many pheasants, and that was just on the side. How are those people who go up the mountain to hunt supposed to survive..."

Chang Kun blinked but didn't say anything. This was just something he caught on the side. The biggest prey was that tiger, which was still in his spatial storage.

"Hey, Xiao Kun, I overheard someone outside the village saying that my nephew's arrival is some great news, but I didn't quite understand what they meant."

"Uncle, well, I hunted a wild boar the other day, and Director Zhu of the state-run restaurant happened to want it, so I traded it for a job as a waiter at the restaurant..."

Hearing this, Liu Meilin's eyes widened, her fingers trembling slightly as she pointed at Chang Kun and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Kun, you...you mean, you're telling me to send your aunt?"

Chang Kun smiled and nodded.

Little Shui cheered excitedly, "Mommy's going to the city! I can go to the city too! Hehehe..."

Liu Meilin rubbed his face repeatedly with both hands, panting heavily. The excitement he felt was even stronger than when he first got the job.

"Xiao Kun! This... what am I supposed to say to my uncle?!"

He paced back and forth for a while before finally saying, his eyes red-rimmed, "Your aunt has to give you your salary, otherwise I won't feel at ease! She'll see if she dares to refuse!"

Chang Kun: ...

They really are a perfect couple; they're on the same page. My aunt just said she'd give him her salary too.

"Uncle, please don't say that. If I dared to take my mother in, wouldn't they break my legs?"

Liu Meilin thought about her older sister. She really was capable of doing such a thing. Sigh, what should she do?

"Alright, Uncle, let's talk about it later. Or should I tell the restaurant that no one wants this job and we can just give up?" Chang Kun countered.

"That won't do!" Liu Meilin had been working for more than a month and knew all too well how difficult it was to get a job in the city. Having money alone was useless!

Having already secured the work targets, how could I possibly give them up?

"Hey, I remember Xiaomei doesn't have a job yet, right? How about we let her give it a try?"

"My aunt just brought this up too. My older sister has to breastfeed the baby, so she can't leave for long."

"Oh! That's true. Well... then your aunt will have to go?"

"That's right. Restaurants hire diligent waiters, and I think Auntie is perfect for that."

Liu Meilin was speechless: "What kind of talk is that? Nowadays in the countryside, those who aren't hardworking would have starved to death long ago..."

Just then, my aunt walked into the yard carrying a basket of yellow clay: "Xiao Kun, come here, see if this clay is suitable?"

"Yellow clay is the best; the chicken cooked in it smells delicious." Chang Kun started making beggar's chicken, while Xiao Shui hopped around and helped him.

"Uncle, before it gets dark, hurry up and go to the village committee to get Auntie a letter of introduction so she can start work tomorrow."

Liu Meilin and his wife exchanged a glance, nodded, and left the hospital with their work certificates.

With Xiaoshui's help in mixing the mud, Chang Kun quickly wrapped the five pheasants in mud, lit a pile of firewood outside the yard, and threw the mud balls into it.

You don't need to worry about the rest of the work; just wait for the beggar's chicken to cook.

After waiting for about ten minutes, my uncle and aunt returned with beaming smiles.

"Oh, Xiao Kun, you wouldn't believe it, that woman who's the brigade leader used to look down on everyone, but today when we went to her house, she served us tea and water, wow, her enthusiasm is something I've never seen before..."

Speaking of this, my aunt stood up straight. Now she's a city worker, much better off than some brigade leader's wife!
