Mother and son worked together, and the dishes were quickly sold out. After tidying up the stall, the mother and son prepared to go home to cook. At this time, Aunt Liu suddenly took out a bag from her bag and said to Huo Zongtang with a smile: "Zongtang, what do you see Mom bought today?" ”

Huo Zongtang looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "Yes...... Old garden ginseng? ”

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Not really! Your father and I are happy to see that your body and complexion have improved this month! I guess it's the credit of the old garden ginseng last time. No, we discussed it and decided to use your salary to buy some old ginseng. ”

She stopped, reached out to touch Huo Zongtang's thin face, and said softly: "As long as you can be good, your parents are willing to do anything." ”

Huo Zongtang looked at the woman who was two heads shorter than himself, and saw that her white hair was like a reed flower in the autumn light, fluttering in the wind of the setting sun, and a sour torrent suddenly surged in his heart.

"Mom!" He was a man in two lives, lonely to the bone, and at this time he willingly shouted this sentence.

Aunt Liu took out another plastic bag, and the smile on her face was as bright as a girl. "Mom bought this!"

"Beef?"

Huo Zongtang sighed lightly, thinking to himself about this poor family, I don't know how long it has been since I have eaten better meat. In the previous world, beef was just an ordinary food. But in this world, beef is an unattainable and expensive food for many ordinary families, selling for as much as 200 yuan a catty. Most ordinary people's homes can only eat one meal during the New Year's holiday.

The food genealogy of this world is actually related to the cultivation of the way of civil and martial arts. If the general public does not have the requirements for cultivation, they can only meet their nutritional needs by eating only the most common chicken and pork. And the beef of this world, because the nutritional value is several times and ten times higher than that of chicken and pork, can especially meet the needs of practitioners to replenish their brain power and body, so the cost is higher.

I heard that in order to cater to the needs of more advanced cultivation, in addition to beef, this world also provides more advanced foods such as leopard meat, venison, and tiger meat.

Here, beef is about ten times more expensive than pork and chicken, leopard meat is about five times more expensive than beef, venison is about five times more expensive than leopard meat, and tiger meat is about three times more expensive than venison...... This is only something that can be bought with money, and there are some special cultivation foods that money can't buy, which is even more mysterious and precious. Of course, these meat foods are also expensive and valuable. Some institutions have specially researched that in addition to the ordinary nutritional value, these meats are obviously helpful in improving the superpower of the soul, body strength and shock resistance.

When the cultivation of the Dao of Martial Arts reaches a higher stage, the primary pork and beef will no longer be able to help the practitioner improve. Only by eating a higher level of meat can the basic needs of the practice be satisfied. Cultivation is to burn money, and this aspect is also one of the clear proofs.

"Beef promotes physical development, muscle vitality and physical performance. I heard that those who practice martial arts have to eat beef at every meal. We haven't eaten beef in a few years, so Mom will come home tonight and cook you something delicious! "Aunt Liu is like a happy little woman, as long as she can make her son happier, she is really willing to pay any price.

Huo Zongtang was just about to answer, when a sneer suddenly came from the side: "Yo, Sister Liu, I see that your family has made a fortune?" This is eating beef and buying garden ginseng, since I have a lot of money, can I pay back the 100,000 yuan I owe? ”

Beside them, I don't know when a middle-aged man was standing. Next to the middle-aged man, there was a young man who was the same age as Huo Zongtang, dressed very neatly and decently, and his expression was also very confident.

When Aunt Liu saw it, she was a little panicked, and her face turned pale. "It turned out to be the fifth uncle, the fifth uncle is the great benefactor of our family, Zongtang, call the fifth uncle!"

Huo Zongtang remembered that this person was a distant relative of their family. Before Huo Zongtang was reincarnated, the body of his predecessor became sick and became a vegetative person, and the Huo family borrowed a sum of money from him and barely survived the difficulties. In this sense, the fifth uncle is indeed the benefactor of their family.

But Huo Zongtang frowned, looking a little reluctant. He didn't have a crush on this man. Before Huo Zongtang got sick, the owner of this body once obtained an index of "poor students", with this index, he could enter the Zhenwu Academy to study, and even take the college entrance examination to change the fate of the Huo family.

But a sudden illness changed the situation. In order to save him, his parents begged the fifth uncle. As a relative, the fifth uncle first refused to borrow money and blasted his parents out of the house. Later, a few days later, the fifth uncle suddenly came to the door and proposed a quid pro quo: if the Huo family could give that indicator to his second son Hodge, he would promise to lend them 50,000 yuan. Of course, the interest rate is very favorable, and it is about the same as the loan sharks outside.

In the past three years, the principal of 50,000 yuan borrowed has been turned to 100,000 yuan.

Such a "benefactor" who does not save himself when he dies and takes advantage of people's danger, how can Huo Zongtang be truly grateful!

Seeing Huo Zongtang's cold face, the fifth uncle glared at him fiercely, and snorted coldly: "Ungrateful dog thing, it was really for nothing back then!" ”

Aunt Liu secretly pulled him behind Huo Zongtang, and Huo Zongtang reluctantly called the fifth uncle. Aunt Liu smiled again, and said to the young man next to the fifth uncle: "It's Xiaoqi, who has also grown up!" I heard that you did well in the recent graduation exam, but you can give our Huo family a long face! ”

The young man named Hodge glanced at her disdainfully, and spat out a sentence coldly: "Whoever is a family with you, don't lose our face." ”

The smile on Aunt Liu's face froze. Huo Zongtang took a deep breath and glanced at Hodge. This person is the second son of the fifth uncle. At that time, the fifth uncle took advantage of the danger of others and took the "poor student" index that originally belonged to him, and later handed it over to this Hodge.

It can be said that it was this person who got the opportunity to change his fate that originally belonged to Huo Zongtang.

When it came to Hodge's exam results, the fifth uncle smiled.

"Our family, Hodge, has been so competitive since childhood. In this provincial examination, Xiaoqi's liberal arts and martial arts at the same time won the results of the rookie fifth dan, ranking third in the Zhenwu Academy. Alas, he is too relaxed, otherwise, maybe he can get a ...... for the entrance examination."

The fifth uncle and Hodge seemed to be celebrities in the neighborhood, and when they said this, there were already many people around. Hearing the words "rookie five paragraphs" and "examination list eye", the onlookers let out a burst of exclamations.

"It's amazing, you can get the rookie fifth stage in the liberal arts and martial arts, this is a balanced development of the civil and military arts!"

"I heard that if you get a rookie rank of 3 dan or higher, you can graduate from high school. The children of the Huo family have all passed the fifth stage, which is really rare. ”

"My child is also in the Zhenwu Academy, and he only took the rookie second stage in the general examination, and he will have to retake the exam next year. It's really more popular than people. ”

The baccalaureate system in this world is the same as the baccalaureate for high school in the previous life. Only those who have achieved a certain score in the entrance examination are eligible to take the college entrance examination and get the opportunity to enter a higher education institution.
