My neighbor’s family has been selling spiced pork head meat for generations, and his spiced pork head meat is a must-have here! But in rural market towns, consumption is limited, and although business seems to be booming, it is only enough to support the family.

My neighbor’s son was average in his studies. After graduating from junior high school, he did not enter high school. He was not willing to go to a technical school, so he became an unemployed young man. The neighbor really wanted his son to help in the store, but the son vowed never to do this business again. After a stalemate for half a year, the Spring Festival arrived in the blink of an eye. A neighbor's son communicated with a friend who had returned from working in the south for the Chinese New Year. He was determined to start a business in the south. The neighbor couldn't resist, so he gave him 1,000 yuan for travel expenses and let him try.

At that time, there was a boycott of Henan migrant workers in the south. After arriving in Guangzhou, I was turned away from interviews at several factories either because I was from Henan or because I was too young. In the blink of an eye, the 1,000 yuan was gone. Even eating became a problem, but work matters were still unresolved. In order to fill his stomach without spending money, his neighbor's son worked as a waiter in a small shop, washing dishes and serving meals. He didn't get any salary and only took care of the food. Another month passed and I still didn't find a job.

The restaurant owner saw that his neighbor's son was down-to-earth and hard-working, and wanted to recruit him as a regular clerk. The neighbor's son was also struck by reality and became a member of this small shop. By chance, the boss was braised pork, and the neighbor's son asked if he could try making some of it using his hometown's cooking method. The boss asked him to make a pot according to his own ingredients and techniques, and the aroma filled the house before it was cooked. Everyone was full of praise after eating it. From then on, the five-spice pork head meat became the specialty of this store. The store's business is getting better and better. From two small stores, there were two branches in less than two years. The neighbor's son has also become the backbone of the store. In addition to salary, he also gets dividends. He is also considered a leader among the children who go out to work in our rural areas!

Later, the landlady saw that the neighbor’s son was of good character, hardworking and capable, so she betrothed her daughter to him. Later, the neighbor moved his family and followed his son to the south. I heard that many chain stores have opened now.
