Half an hour passed quickly, and the aroma in the pot became more and more intense, making people salivate.

Old man Zhang came over with a cane, and Zhang Hulan hurried forward to help him, "Why are you here?"

Wang said, "Need I tell you? He must have come here following the smell."

Old man Zhang smiled and said, "That's right, I said I came here because of the smell. I smelled it from a long distance away, and I thought it must be what you were stewing."

Zhang Xiaobing ran forward and said excitedly: "Grandpa, my aunt bought a big pig's head and is making braised meat."

Old man Zhang asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to wait a little longer? Why are you doing it now?"

Zhang Hulan said, "I'll test the taste first, and then I'll start cooking after my elder brother and his friends have harvested the millet in the fields."

After simmering it for a while, Zhang Hulan used chopsticks to poke the pig's head to see if it was cooked. It went in with a little effort, and it was ready to be served.

Zhang Xiaobing and Zhang Xinyue looked at them eagerly. Zhang Hulan cut a little bit with a knife and stuffed it into their mouths.

Zhang Xiaobing chewed it twice and swallowed it, then licked his lips and said, "Auntie, this braised meat is so delicious!"

Zhang Xin ate the braised meat and smiled, "Mom, it's delicious!"

Zhang Hulan cut some more and put it in a bowl, then handed it to Wang, "Mom, you all have a taste."

Several children gathered around Wang, all looking up at the bowl in her hand.

Wang was smiling. She liked the feeling of being surrounded by children.

Wang gave some meat to Zhang Xinyao and the others. After tasting it, the children all said it was delicious.

Wang stuffed another piece into Old Man Zhang's mouth. After tasting it, Old Man Zhang nodded and said it was delicious and tasted good.

Zhang Hulan picked up the pig's head meat, which was bright red in color and looked very appetizing.

She also tried a piece herself, and it tasted pretty good, except that it didn't have any chili. It would have been perfect if it had some chili.

Wang said, "Daniel, where did you learn this? I've never heard of stewing meat like this."

Zhang Hulan said, "Mom, this is not called stewing, this is called braising."

"Then how do you make this braised meat?"

Zhang Hulan said casually: "I already knew how to do it a long time ago, but the Chen family just didn't have meat for me to cook."

"Fortunately, they didn't do it, otherwise the Chen family would have gotten a bargain." Wang asked, "Daniel, how much can this braised meat sell for per pound? How much can you make from a pig's head?"

"This pig head is cheap, only fifty coins. The meat that was removed weighs about six or seven pounds, plus the marinade and labor, the cost is fifteen coins per pound."

Zhang Hulan thought for a moment before saying, "This braised meat should be priced at 40 to 50 wen per jin, but I plan to sell it directly to restaurants, so it should be cheaper, so I'll just sell it at 30 to 35 wen per jin."

Wang said, "The restaurant makes so little money, are they willing to do that?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Mom, the restaurant can't possibly sell by the pound, right? They sell a plate of meat for at most half a pound, and they sell it for 30 or 40 cents, or 40 or 50 cents, so the restaurant will at least double the profit."

"Besides, I sell it to them after it's cooked. All they need to do is cut it and put it on a plate. They don't even need to heat it up. They are definitely willing to make this money."

"Let's take a step back and say that it doesn't matter if they don't want it. At worst, I can just set up a stall to sell it. It's just a little more tiring, but I can still make more money."

Wang asked, "Can you eat this meat cold? Won't it give you diarrhea?"

"No, this meat is meant to be eaten cold."

Wang said, "I think it's better to eat it hot. If someone gets diarrhea after eating it, be careful that they will cause trouble for you."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine. And they can also heat it up before eating. It's up to the customer to choose."

At this time, Old Man Zhang said, "Dani'er, if your business is successful, you won't be able to handle it by yourself, right?"

Zhang Hulan nodded, "I am too busy to handle it. So I will wait for my elder brother and the others to harvest the grain, and then ask them to help me. I will pay them for their work then."

Wang said, "Why would you ask for money if we are helping out? Anyway, your father and I don't have much to do, so we will help you in the future."

Zhang Hulan hugged Wang and said coquettishly, "Oh, I knew that mother treats me the best!"

Wang pushed Zhang Hulan away and said, "How old are you? You're still acting like a spoiled child? I never saw you act like a spoiled child like this when you were a child."

Zhang Hulan laughed twice, then said, "Mom, I asked my elder brother and the others to help me so that he could make some money. I can't make money and live a luxurious life while my elder brother and Hu Bing have to eat coarse food."

Wang and Old Man Zhang looked at Zhang Hulan with complicated and gratified expressions. Old Man Zhang sighed, "Ah..., you are so thoughtful!"

Wang also sighed, "You girl..."

"Okay, Mom and Dad, we are all family, we should help each other. Seeing how harmonious we are, aren't you happy?"

"Happy, happy..." Wang took Zhang Hulan's hand and patted it gently, saying, "If you three sisters can get along well, your father and I will be happy. Even if you die one day, we can close our eyes peacefully without worrying about anyone. I just don't know if the second brother and his wife have really changed now..."

Zhang Hulan said, "Mom, Hu Bing is actually quite good. It's just that you and Dad spoiled him too much when he was young, and planned everything for him. That's why he hasn't grown up at this age and is like a child."

"As for Chunhua, she's not bad. Although she used to take everything to her parents' house, that was instigated by her family. Now, she has changed a lot after seeing the truth."

"Chunhua is also good to Hubing, and she is also good to Xiaobing, and that's enough. As long as their little family can live a stable life, you and dad don't have to worry about anything."

"As for your parents' retirement, you don't have to worry about it. As long as I'm here, you and dad won't starve."

Old man Zhang said, "We don't want you to take care of our children. Why did I raise my eldest and second sons? Isn't it so that they can take care of me? Whose elderly people let their daughters take care of them? Unless they have no sons. If they dare to say they won't take care of their sons, I will break their dog legs."

"Oh, Dad... I didn't say that Big Brother and Hu Bing won't support you. What I meant is that you and Mom can relax while I'm here. With me here, I can help a little, and Big Brother and Hu Bing can relax a little. Big Brother and Hu Bing are not the kind of people who won't support their parents."

Wang said, "Change your bad temper. You are so old, but you still have such a bad temper."

Wang glared at Old Man Zhang, and he stopped talking.
