Chapter 030 She is really filial

"Sister Fang!"

"Is it done?" Tang Yuan knew everything was fine when he saw Sun Dong's excited look.

Sure enough, Sun Dong nodded quickly: "It's done. Zhao Zhiqiang was reluctant at first, but when someone in his family bought meat, he immediately wavered. He's been dividing the family property these days."

"Does the guy named Liu Zhiyong agree?"

"He has to agree even if he doesn't want to. It's a mess over there. Not only Zhao Zhiqiang, but others also want to get a piece of the pie and do their own thing," Sun Dong said. "But don't worry, Sister Fang. I will definitely cooperate with you. I have already agreed with Zhao Zhiqiang that we will work together and split the profits 30%, 10% each for the three of us."

"Separate the pigs first, and I'll figure out how to sell the pork," Tang Yuan said before Sun Dong could even speak. "Don't go to the black market for now, the situation there isn't going to be very easy lately."

She did not make this up out of thin air; she actually heard news about the black market.

Because Guo Weiqiang was arrested for selling sick pigs, relevant departments have begun to crack down on it, especially on the black market. Selling pork on the black market at this time will easily lead to being targeted again.

Sun Dong didn't ask any more questions and immediately nodded to indicate that he would listen to her.

"Oh, this is the bacon made by Afeng's mother. I brought you some." Sun Dong briefly explained the origin of the meat. "Zhao Zhiqiang doesn't know. We all know that this meat is good, so we brought it to you."

"I believe you," Tang Yuan took the bacon wrapped in oil paper, "Are you going to clean up the pig farm in the next few days?"

"Yes, but we are familiar with this matter and have found a place where we won't be discovered. After Zhao Zhiqiang's trouble is over, we can naturally take the pork there," Sun Dong said with a smile, "We raise pigs now, and after the New Year, our business will definitely be good."

The two talked about their future plans for a while, and traded the eggs that Sun Dong brought over. Then Sun Dong left first with the basket.

Tang Yuan waited in the shabby house for a while longer, then separated himself from him and left.

After walking out, she carried the basket and went to Aunt Cao's house.

She had met Aunt Cao several times, and the last transaction was when the eggs were delivered the time before. Although she knew the identities of Aunt Cao's son and daughter-in-law, she had no intention of getting close to them at this time.

Firstly, she didn't have much supplies, and they could all be used up here, so there was no need to take the line to the train station. Secondly, she was not in a hurry, and only a slow and steady business could be truly sustainable. With development in the next few years, the train station would become more and more of a focus, and she would need to use this route many times, so it would be a waste to use it now.

When we arrived at Aunt Cao's door, the people inside immediately came out to greet us.

"I've been waiting for you to come. You said you would come, but I haven't seen you come yet."

"The main idea is to save a few more eggs," Tang Yuan said as he entered the house. "The temperature has dropped a bit in the past few days, so it will be more convenient to store eggs in the future. Aunt Cao can exchange more eggs then."

"We can change more now. There are so many people in our family." Aunt Cao asked Tang Yuan to put the basket on the ground, handed the child to her, bent down to pick eggs, and told her how to consume eggs. "Eggs are good things. You have to eat one a day. One for me, one for my son and daughter-in-law, and one for the children. Four eggs are eaten a day. Don't you think this is consumed all at once?"

"So many?" Tang Yuan was surprised, and then praised without leaving any trace, "Then Aunt Cao must have had a long-term plan."

"What do you mean?" Aunt Cao asked curiously.

"Eggs are nutritious. Eating an egg a day keeps you healthy and helps you avoid going to the hospital. You can save money on hospital visits. Isn't this a long-term plan?" Tang Yuan said with a smile. "Some people don't understand. They just keep going even when they are uncomfortable. They don't realize that they are causing more damage to their health and spending more money."

"That makes sense. You're right," Aunt Cao nodded repeatedly. "Then I definitely can't let myself down. I have to be good to myself and definitely can't just force myself."

"Yeah."

Tang Yuan chatted with Aunt Cao in a casual manner. Although she said that eating eggs was good, she did not force Aunt Cao to buy a certain number of eggs. It was entirely up to her to choose.

An egg costs eight cents. This family eats four eggs a day, which means 120 eggs a month, and the expense is nine yuan and sixty cents.

Even though Aunt Cao's family was well off, she couldn't eat like this every day. She could only eat it every few days. But perhaps Tang Yuan's words worked, she hesitated and picked for a while, and finally took twenty eggs in one go.

Before she could even think of returning, Tang Yuan said, "Many people have reserved these eggs. We may have to wait ten days for the next visit. Aunt Cao, please eat them sparingly."

"So long?" Aunt Cao came back to her senses, "So these eggs can only be eaten two a day?"

"If you add in what you bought with the tickets, it should be enough. Even if you can only eat two eggs a day, this is still a great deal. Others can't even compare to it," Tang Yuan said, not sparing any praise. "Leave some eggs for others."

"Okay, leave some eggs for others," Aunt Cao said with relief, "Don't forget to come back in ten days."

"How can I forget this? I definitely can't."

This transaction is still an "exchange".

Twenty eggs cost one dollar and sixty cents, which would only equal one pound of bacon. It was only because they had a good relationship that Aunt Cao cut a little more for her. If it were someone else, she might have to cut less.

They are both meat, but the market price of fresh pork is 80 cents per pound, and 90 cents on the black market, while bacon costs 1.6 yuan. Assuming that 700 grams of pork are made into 1 pound of bacon, there is still a difference of 400 grams when the pork is made into bacon.

A piece of pork weighing 1.62 jin can make 1.42 jin of bacon.

"I'm so sorry."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? I still prefer fresh meat. Let me give you the bacon. I'll spend money to buy fresh meat," Aunt Cao said with a smile, "Eggs are better than this bacon."

Tang Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, Aunt Cao, I will definitely come back in the future. Just keep the bacon for me."

"That's great," Aunt Cao wrapped the bacon for her, took the child back, and said happily, "I wish I had met you earlier."

"I think so too. It would have been great if I had met Aunt Cao earlier." Tang Yuan responded with a smile.

After the transaction was completed, she did not leave immediately, but sat down and chatted with Aunt Cao for a while. She said it was a chat, but in fact she was just listening to Aunt Cao's gossip.

Her son and daughter-in-law both have to go to work, and her husband is gone. Aunt Cao usually helps take care of the children. She has a lot to do, and her favorite thing to do in her free time is to chat with people about gossip. She knows almost everything about the families in the neighborhood.

She also knows which family is rich and which is poor, which family is generous and which family is stingy.

Of course, most of them are trivial family matters.

Aunt Cao usually had few people to talk to, and Tang Yuan happened to have no other business at the moment except the egg business, so the two of them had a great time chatting.

When Tang Yuan was about to leave after talking for a while, Aunt Cao was still reluctant to leave: "Next time, come over at mealtime. I'll treat you to a meal. You and I are so close, I must treat you to a good meal."

"Sure," Tang Yuan went out with the basket, "No need to send me off, I'll come back in a few days."

After leaving Aunt Cao's house, she took a walk outside and soon found a few generous families based on the information Aunt Cao told her, and easily sold the eggs in the basket.

These companies even made arrangements with her for future transactions.

After selling the eggs, she returned to the game space and the first thing she did was to see the chickens she raised.

The chicken, not the egg.

The chickens in the game space also grow faster than ordinary chickens outside. After hatching a few days ago, they have been growing at an almost astonishing speed in the past two days. It is estimated that in a few days, these three chickens will start laying eggs.

This is also the reason why she chose to sell all the eggs brought by Sun Dong. Eggs can grow in the game space, and she only needs to eat these, and there is no need to bring in those from outside.

After standing in the breeding area for a while, she picked up a small basket for storing rice from the side, grabbed a handful of rice, and put it into the chicken trough.

The rice is grown in the planting area. If she plants one crop a day, it will be enough for her to eat for many days. It can also be used to raise chickens. Although it is a bit extravagant to raise chickens with rice, it will be fine if the chickens can lay eggs.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." Tang Yuan looked at the chicks pecking at rice, hoping that they would grow up quickly.

Her dinner was bacon stewed with rice. As soon as she opened the pot, she smelled the aroma of bacon. She scooped a spoonful of rice and bacon into her mouth. It was full of fragrance and the fat secretion was just right.

It has a rich aroma when chewed, which perfectly relieves her craving for meat.

This bacon tastes better than the one Aunt Cao gave me.

The bacon that Aunt Cao gave me is also meat, but it was a bit too dry and felt like it had been stored for a long time. Although bacon doesn't spoil easily, storing it for too long will have a great impact on the taste of the meat.

The meat that Sun Dong brought was different. Not only did it have a rich texture, it was also rich in fat. It was not dry or hard, and was very flavorful. No wonder he said the bacon was well cooked.

But in this way, maybe I can really try to start a bacon business.

Tang Yuan licked his lips while holding the lunch box, and could feel the grease on his lips. Even after eating and burping, his mouth was filled with the aroma of bacon.

…

"It tastes so good."

"She must have had a hard time before, so she can eat so deliciously now. Don't look at her like that, there's nothing good in it, just some salted vegetables and occasionally a few slices of bacon."

"She has such a high salary, so she should be able to eat well, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe her family is asking her for money."

"Who dares! Didn't we let Tang Jianguo go back?"

"That's possible. This child is very filial, but unfortunately she is filial to the wrong people. That family doesn't even treat her as a human being..."

"I won't say any more. Every family has its own problems."

…

After Tang Yuan finished his meal, he took the lunch box to wash it.

On the surface, she still used her lunch box to steam rice every day these past two days, but in reality, all she ate was food made in the game space. After all, rice steamed in a steamer is definitely not as delicious as freshly cooked rice.

While washing the lunch box, someone came over and said, "Xiaoyuan, have you heard? Your stepmother is going back to your hometown."

"Why?"

"He said he was worried that your father would suffer, so he wanted to go and help."

Tang Yuan: "...She is so filial!"
