Ye Daquan and Liu Xiong lifted the pig onto a large scale together.

The final weight was 636 jin. Liu Xiong waved his hand and said, "Let's call it 630 jin! 6 liang and 3 qian!"

Ye Daquan grinned and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get the money right away."

After Ye Daquan left, Liu Xiong called his wife and son out, and together they slaughtered a pig.

Half of the leaf was cut off and set aside. As for the other half, Du asked Liu Xiong to cut it into pieces.

A large basin was filled with steaming hot pig's blood. A villager asked, "Daquan's wife, is this pig's blood for sale? Can I have a bowl for one coin?"

Mrs. Du said, "Why pay? Just scoop a bowl and take it home. Everyone who wants to eat pig's blood, come and scoop some."

Upon hearing this, the villagers rushed home to get their bowls.

Although pig's blood has a strong smell, it is still a kind of meat. Before long, the villagers who wanted to eat pig's blood returned with their bowls. When Wei heard that someone was slaughtering a pig and distributing pig's blood for free, she also ran over with a small basin.

When he saw Du directing Liu Xiong on how to divide the pig, he was surprised: "This pig was actually bought by my sister-in-law?"

Seeing that most of the pig's blood in the basin had been scooped out by the villagers, he quickly picked up the remaining half-basin and said, "This is from my family."

The villagers around who hadn't scooped any yet immediately protested: "I haven't scooped any yet!"

"Of course, how did it become yours?"

Ye Caiping, standing to the side, was speechless.

Du's face darkened: "Second son's wife, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Wei was stunned. "Didn't my elder brother and sister-in-law buy this pig? Half of it has already been scooped out by an outsider. I'm protecting it for you!"

Du said speechlessly, "I had them scoop it out. There's so much meat that we can't finish it all, so we'll share the pig's blood with everyone."

Wei awkwardly put down the large basin, then scooped out a small basinful for herself and stuffed it into Ye Peng's hand, telling him to take it home.

Ye Peng felt that her actions were somewhat embarrassing and was unwilling to accept the offer.

Left with no other option, Mrs. Wei had to carry the small basin of pig's blood back herself.

The remaining bit of pig's blood was quickly divided up by the villagers.

Seeing that many villagers were still bringing bowls, Du said, "Whoever likes this basin of offal can take some home."

The villagers' eyes lit up: "How can Daquan's wife be so generous?"

Mrs. Du laughed heartily, "What's the big deal? We have more meat than we can eat, and these offal pieces will go bad if left for too long. We might as well let everyone eat them."

Their family delivers goods and builds big houses, which makes many people envious. Giving some things to everyone is a good thing.

Soon, all the sanitary pads were snatched up, and the villagers carried a small bunch of them home, their smiles never fading.

Everyone is praising Daquan's wife for being generous, saying it's no wonder their family makes money.

After the wild boars were divided up, Ye Daquan pushed a cart over and took all the wild boars home.

Then they borrowed an oxcart from Ye Caiping's house, and together with Ye Xuan and Du Shi, they pulled half a pig to town.

The three returned in less than an hour.

Ye Daquan and Du brought a large pig leg to Ye Caiping's house.

Ye Caiping said, "That's too much. Besides, the weather is getting hotter and hotter lately, and I don't want to eat anything greasy. Could you give me two spare ribs, brother and sister-in-law?"

"Okay, I'll go back and get you some ribs." Ye Daquan picked up the pig's leg and turned to leave.

Mrs. Du sighed, "I'm so sorry to keep borrowing your oxcart."

Ye Caiping said, "What's the big deal? They're pretty idle when we're not plowing the land. You're not using the oxen for nothing; my eldest brother and Xuan'er usually do the herding and feeding. It saves my family a lot of trouble. By the way, has that half-pig been delivered to the Shen family yet?"

"It's been delivered. But we didn't see the person. The gatekeeper said that Master Shen had gone out on business. It was Miss Shen who entertained us, though."

Just then, Ye Daquan returned, carrying half a rack of spare ribs, all from the front, the tenderest pieces.

He carried it directly to the kitchen, where he saw Old Mrs. Ye pitting dried dates. She smiled when she saw Ye Daquan come in.

"I was planning to make soup tonight and was just thinking of asking you to go to town to buy some bones, but you delivered them here unexpectedly."

Ye Daquan chuckled and placed the ribs on the kitchen counter: "Make some rib soup."

Old Mrs. Ye glanced at Ye Caiping and Madam Du chatting outside and whispered:

"Daquan, you're always taking your little sister out with you, have you seen what kind of people she's been meeting?"

Who is it?

"It's about the kind of people she usually interacts with."

"Hey, who else is there? Miss Shen! There's Manager Lin, Manager Chi, Master Su... and a bunch of pharmaceutical suppliers, restaurants that need supplies, it's always the same people coming and going."

Grandma Ye fell silent. Where was the cat that delivered the fish?

Manager Lin? Manager Chi?

Grandma Ye shuddered. These two were both in their fifties. The old man? No, no!

Could it be a pharmaceutical company or restaurant they're collaborating with?

Grandma Ye was a little anxious.

"Mother, why are you asking this?" Ye Daquan asked.

"It's nothing, I was just checking up on her."

"oh."

After Ye Daquan and his wife left, they went around giving away things.

First, a large pig's head and a piece of meat were sent to Du's maternal family. Five catties of meat were sent to the village head, Uncle Ye, and Wang Shuantou respectively. Ye Yong was also asked to send five catties of meat to Xiuxiu's maternal family, and three spare ribs were sent to Wei's family...

As for the largest hind legs and forelegs, they were given to Manager Chi and several other restaurants they were cooperating with while they were in town.

After going around the house, there were only four or five pounds of meat left.

Actually, wild boar meat is less palatable than domestically raised pigs; it's not only lean but also has a strong gamey smell.

However, wild boars are generally difficult to hunt, and their scarcity drives up their price.

They send wild boar meat as a gift, simply because it's unusual.
