"Otherwise, when the steamed buns are ready, we can send some to each family."

Dazhu also nodded, which was unusual for him.

"Second brother is right. Some people just can't stand seeing others have good things and are envious of what others have. I agree."

Chen Xian looked at his two sons and nodded with satisfaction.

"How about we bring back one of our pigs and share it with everyone?"

Cuihua asked in surprise, "Isn't this a bit too much meat?"

"A pound of flour is calculated at six, seven, or eight coins, so let's say eight coins. Ten pounds would be eighty coins. A pound of pork may have gone up in price, so let's say forty coins for now."

Li Niang pondered.

He said in a low voice, "If each household receives one pound of meat, I agree!"

Zhang Daguang's home is located in Liutiao Hutong.

"You've taken so much food from everyone, and you haven't even offered to treat us to a cup of hot tea? That's too stingy."

Several women were also muttering to themselves.

"Forget it, one shouldn't be too sentimental or forget one's roots. Perhaps they were just too busy to remember. If it weren't for Da Zhu's father, our family's grain would definitely have been ruined by locusts this year."

The next day.

It was before dawn.

After a quick meal of white flour pancakes, Chen Xian's family hurriedly locked the door, said goodbye to Chen Dashui and asked him to look after the family's grain, and then went straight to town.

The oxcart swayed back and forth, and every now and then someone would poop a hot puddle under the manure sack at the back.

Chen Xian spoke with the Chen family members on the oxcart.

“Some people feel bad when they see others doing well, but if you share the benefits with them, you can reduce their malice.”

"Whether someone is a good or evil person is irrelevant to the distribution of benefits."

Zhou Family Slaughterhouse.

Chen Xian asked Erzhu to hand the white flour pancakes to Yang Xiaoshu.

"Eat up, little tree."

Yang Xiaoshu looked at Dazhu and Erzhu with some surprise.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

The familiarity between young people is always so warm and pure.

Yang Xiaoshu no longer treats the Chen family like strangers as before.

His expression wasn't so wooden anymore.

Instead, she exudes a lively and energetic aura.

"No, I already ate."

Looking at the white flour pancake, I unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Coo coo coo.

Erzhu chuckled: "Take it. It's freshly harvested wheat, and the pancakes I made from it are delicious."

Yang Xiaoshu couldn't resist the Chen family's enthusiasm and smiled contentedly.

"Thank you very much."

Pigs frolic and jump around in the pig farm.

Hmming and whining.

Yang Xiaoshu said excitedly, "Uncle, pork prices have gone up, they've already reached 35 wen per jin."

Judging from his expression, he seemed even happier than the Chen family members themselves for making money.

Chen Xian chuckled: "Okay. Then I'll trouble Xiao Shu to bring me a fat pig so I can take it back to the village."

"Now?" Yang Xiaoshu asked curiously.

Erzhu: "The villagers gave my family a lot of grain, and I also want to send some pork back to them."

Yang Xiaoshu thought he had misheard and scratched his head.

My feelings are complicated.

"The price of pork has been rising, and you can get pork in return for giving away a few kilograms of grain. Uncle Chen and his family are really kind people."

It grew the fattest pig ever.

The Chen family struggled to lift the pig upstairs.

Butcher Zhou approached with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, I've noticed that pork prices keep rising. Could you spare me a few pigs?"

Chen Xian said calmly, "I'm really sorry, Boss Zhou, all these pigs have already been ordered by the restaurant. It would have been better if you could have come a little earlier."

"Um?"

Butcher Zhou was somewhat puzzled.

The Chen family members glanced at Chen Xian but remained silent.

Butcher Zhou looked at Yang Xiaoshu suspiciously and glared at him.

"Little Tree, did someone come by just now?"

Yang Xiaoshu glanced at Chen Xian, then at Dazhu and Erzhu.

He shook his head, giving an ambiguous answer.

"I got up a little late today and have been feeding the pigs. Maybe they've arrived. I don't know."

They left the Zhou family's pig farm.

Butcher Zhou stared intently at the Chen family.

I'm so jealous I feel like I'm going crazy.

The price of pork has been rising and has almost halved, but all of my family's pigs have already been sold off ahead of schedule.

I want to buy a few and make a profit.

However, the pigs in the vicinity are all in the hands of some pig farms.

These people are as shrewd as dogs, how could they possibly sell to themselves?

That's why he set his sights on the Chen family.

Even if a farmer uses underhanded tactics, he probably wouldn't have much courage to stand up to him.

Leave the pig farm.

Chen Xian: "We can't wait any longer, let's go to Baiweilou."

Dazhu: "Father, do you mean you plan to sell it to Manager Jiang?"

Erzhu said, "This butcher doesn't seem like a good person. Just now, that man's face twitched. He's probably up to no good and is about to do something disgusting."

Chen Xian: "Our family is not yet able to withstand some of the difficulties from the pig farm. It is safer to just get by by passing the buck and transferring the risks to others. The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

"Otherwise, some people will turn their attention to the Chen family."

As one of the largest restaurants in town, Baiweilou naturally had various forces on good terms with Manager Jiang, who was sent to acquire greater profits while being prepared to take on greater risks.

We arrived at Baiweilou.

Manager Jiang looked at the Chen family with a smile, somewhat puzzled.

"Boss Chen, thank you for reminding me to buy more pigs. The braised pork dish at the restaurant is selling very well now. The price of pork has been rising, but my cost is still the same. I increased the cost of the dishes accordingly, and no customers said anything bad. On the contrary, I made a lot of money."

Chen Xian: "Manager Jiang, I wonder if you dare to make an even bigger profit?"

The shopkeeper was somewhat puzzled.

After hearing Chen Xian explain the whole story...

He was even more astonished and looked at the farmer.

Tsk tsk, hesitation only leads to trouble.

A person who is intelligent and decisive, who can cut off the temptation of profit without hesitation, will not be just a simple farmer in the future, even if he is a farmer now.

I was immediately impressed and decided to befriend him.

Manager Jiang calmly said, "Alright, I'll take all your pigs. I'll have the accountant get the money for you."
