Xu Hu said, "How about this, Lao Huang, Lao Dong and I will go. It's not very convenient for Lao Luo and Lao Yuan to move things."

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Okay. How much salary do you think is appropriate for you guys to get each month?"

Huang Zhong said, "Just give it as you see fit."

Zhang Hulan said: "Uncle Huang, I invited people from your villages to come and reclaim the wasteland because I heard from Magistrate Wu that your villages were severely affected by the disaster. I want you to come and work to earn wages so that you can have food to eat.

There are too many people, and the wages are too high and I can't afford it. But you are different. If you help me with business matters in the future, the wages will definitely be different.

How about this, the salary is the same as the son of the village head, and the same as my brother and my younger brother, 900 wen a month. What do you think, Uncle Huang?"

Huang Zhong said: "Such a high salary? A few of us old bones are not worth such a high salary."

"Uncle Huang, what you said is not right. As the saying goes, old ginger is spicy and aged wine is fragrant. You uncles are capable."

Zhang Hulan then smiled and said to Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing: "Brother, Hubing, you must learn from the uncles in the future. It would be best if you can learn all the skills from the uncles."

Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha...you girl, you want to drain us old guys...No problem, as long as they are willing to learn, we will teach them everything."

Zhang Hujun scratched his head and smiled foolishly. Zhang Hubing immediately toasted Huang Zhong and the others, "Of course I am willing to learn. Uncles, please don't hide your knowledge from me in the future."

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang Hulan, Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing, and then said to Old Man Zhang: "It is said that each of the nine sons of a dragon is different. Brother Zhang's three children also have their own strengths."

Xu Hu said: "The tiger soldiers are honest, the tiger soldiers are smart, and the eldest niece... is generous. Brother Zhang's three children are all very good."

Old man Zhang was very happy to be praised for his children, and he also felt that his three children were pretty good. Although Zhang Hubing was a bit of a jerk in the past, he was pretty good now.

Huang Zhong then said: "Well, the Tiger Army will follow me from now on."

Dong Jianyong said: "Tiger soldiers, follow me."

Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing both quickly agreed.

Zhang Hulan's eyes turned and she said, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Luo, Uncle Yuan, how about you three help me take care of my three children?"

Zhang Hulan pointed at Zhang Xiaojun, Zhang Xiaobing and Shanzi and said, "It's these three."

Xu Hu asked, "You mean you want us to teach them martial arts?"

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Yes. Uncle Xu, are you willing?"

"That's fine. If they want to learn, we'll teach them."

Zhang Xiaobing said, "Aunt, we won't study anymore. Will we practice martial arts instead?"

"Why don't you study? You have to study, and you have to learn martial arts as well."

Zhang Hulan said: "Studying is important, but practicing martial arts is also important. You can't just be a weak scholar. I hope that in the future, each of you can write to pacify the world and fight to determine the fate of the world.

Although my expectations may be a bit high, you must work hard to learn whether it is studying or practicing martial arts.

The world cannot be peaceful forever, and war may break out again at any time.

It doesn't matter for people your grandfather and his age. But you are still young, and you might encounter them, so you must be able to protect yourself. When the country needs you, you can also pick up a knife, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. "

When the five veterans heard Zhang Hulan's words, their eyes lit up.

"What a niece who can bring peace to the world with her writing and decide the fate of the world with her martial arts. She is so courageous." Huang Zhong sighed, and then sighed, "Alas, what a pity, my niece is not a man..."

Finally, Xu Hu and the others promised to teach Zhang Xiaobing and the other three martial arts in the future. None of them expected that the decision made during a simple meal today would really help Yongning cultivate three talents.

The next day, Huang Zhong, Xu Hu, and Dong Jianyong accompanied Zhang Hujun and his team to deliver goods. Zhao Cheng initially thought that Zhang Hulan would not let him do it, but after Zhang Hulan explained to him, she told Zhao Cheng to work hard and work as long as he wanted.

…

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of winter.

After Huang Zhong and his team finished delivering the goods every day, they spent the remaining time teaching Zhang Xiaojun and the other two the basic skills and martial arts.

The weather is very cold now, and it is time to start pickling bacon and making sausages.

Zhang Hulan asked Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing to find out where to buy live pigs, and then bought more than a dozen live pigs and dozens of kilograms of salt.

As for what Zhang Hulan should do now, the Wang family has nothing to say. They just need to help their daughter with whatever she wants.

Seeing so many pigs, the children in the family were so excited that they all gathered around the butcher to see how he slaughtered the pigs.

Zhang Hulan's yard was too busy, so they dragged the pig to the open space at the entrance of the village to kill it.

Many villagers were watching, especially the children in the village, whose eyes were filled with envy.

Zhang Hulan was worried that Zhang Xinyue would be scared after watching it, so she said, "Yueyue, don't watch it, or you will have a nightmare at night."

Zhang Xinyue raised her chin and said, "I'm not afraid."

Zhang Hulan is not too pampered when taking care of the child. If the child says she is not afraid, then let her watch. Only when the child experiences things herself will she know.

Wang found a number of large wooden basins, put water in them, added salt and stirred it.

The butchers were a father and his son. The young butcher stabbed his knife into the pig's neck, and it was like a white knife going in and a red knife coming out.

The moment the butcher knife was pulled out, pig blood gushed out.

Wang quickly put the water in a wooden basin and stirred it with her hands to mix the pig blood and salt water evenly.

After a pig is slaughtered, it is dragged aside to wait for its hair to be shaved.

Two earth stoves were dug on the ground, and two large iron pots were placed on them to boil water. It was very busy today, and Zhang Hulanduo also called a few couples to help.

Old Man Zhang and Luo Changqi poured boiling hot water on the pigs, and then quickly scraped the pig hair with a scraper.

After the pig hair was shaved off, the old butcher asked people to put the pig on the bench and scrape the pig skin back and forth with a knife several times to scrape off all the dirt on the pig skin.

Then they cut off the pig's head, and then had someone hang the beheaded pig upside down and start gutting it. After the belly was cut open, someone held a sieve to catch the pig's water.

Clean the inside of the pig's chest cavity with water, then cut the pig in half and place it on the door panel.

The pig's feet are cut off first, and then the old butcher prepares to start cutting the pork into pieces.

Zhang Hulan said to the old butcher, "Master, please help me remove the ribs. As for the meat, please cut it into small pieces of about one pound."

The old butcher asked, "Strips or chunks?"

"It's up to you, Master. It can be in strips or in chunks."

The old butcher nodded and started to work. He had been killing pigs all his life, so his accuracy was impeccable.

After he removed the ribs, he cut the pork into pieces with a few clicks and put them into a basket.

Each piece weighs about one pound, with a difference of less than one or two ounces.
