Zhang also greeted with a smile. "Xiu Jie'er is getting more and more beautiful."
"Aunt, you're just joking. My three sisters are getting prettier and prettier."
These words made everyone look at the three sisters of the Bao family who were also busy at the side.
The current appearance of the three Bao sisters is completely different from when they first fled famine.
In the past, the three sisters of the Bao family weighed nearly 200 kilograms when they went out, which was quite impressive.
However, after the hardships of fleeing famine for several months, and the weight loss methods intentionally taught by the old lady, the three sisters of the Bao family, although still strong, have indeed lost a lot of weight.
The eldest sister of the Bao family used to have only a slit in her eyes when she walked out, but now she is tall and strong. Although her face is round, her two dimples when she smiles are still very cute.
The third sister of the Bao family who lost weight the fastest even had a round waist.
While Xiushui was joking, she noticed several burning eyes staring at the three sisters of the Bao family.
Zhang smiled and took Xiushui's arm. "Yes, yes, my three girls have indeed changed a lot. They used to love eating those fat and rotten things.
After a few months of fleeing famine, these habits have changed. We don’t want any of the leftovers and sell them to others as a bargain.”
Speaking of partnership, Xiushui asked about Brother Bao and his friends' business.
Three people from the Bao family went to repair the house, and the others were responsible for collecting and selling pigs. After all, the Bao family fled from famine and brought several apprentices with them, so they had to sell their pigs wherever they went to make a living.
When talking about her livelihood, Zhang's face looked a little ugly.
"Well, that's about it. We're new here and not very familiar with the area yet, so we have to go to a place a little further away to collect the pigs."
“Can’t you collect it locally?”
Xiu Li held Shui Gen in her arms, and the little guy screamed and wanted to pull her hair. Zhang pretended to scare her grandson, warning him not to grab his mother, and that if he hurt her, his father would punish him.
"There's a butcher named Liu nearby. After we bought a pig from him, he told the locals not to sell us any more pigs.
If we want to collect, we can only go further into the mountains. Alas, it’s a good thing the boss brought out a few apprentices, otherwise this stall would really not be able to continue.”
Zhang gritted her teeth. "There's nothing we can do. This is how business is. Anyone who goes to a certain place will be bullied by the old people. We were bullied by them when we were doing business in our hometown."
Fortunately, I never shortchanged myself, was warm and welcoming to people, and gradually I had my own loyal group of farmers and customers."
Xiushui raised an eyebrow. "Right now, my brother-in-law's pork is only sold in our village. If we go to the city, will we be able to find a place to sell it?"
"It can definitely be sold. There are more and more people in Liuhua Country now. Even though most of them are poor, there are still rich people.
So the current situation in Ancheng is that if there is meat, there is no worry about selling it. If there is meat, there will definitely be a place for it in Ancheng.
The key is that raising pigs takes a long time, and many pig farmers are afraid of offending the old butchers, so they are unwilling to deal with new butchers like us."
"Hey, sister, aunt, I came here this time to solve my brother-in-law's supply problem."
"Do you have a solution?"
Xiu Li's face was filled with anticipation, and Zhang looked at her eagerly. "Xiu Jie'er, do you know where there's a large supply of pigs? If so, let's go order them right away."
Xiushui felt a little guilty when they looked at her like that. "Well, we don't have any right now, but I'm here to talk to you about the future supply.
Sister, aunt, have you ever thought about investing your own money and letting the villagers raise piglets? Raise them in batches, and then you can have meat whenever you want to sell it, isn't that good?"
"Invest it yourself and find someone to support you?"
Zhang was worthy of being a person who followed men in business. She immediately thought of the breeding farm that was being built in the village recently.
"You mean we should cooperate with the village?"
“Yes, I don’t know how much money you have, but if you cooperate with our village, you will pay for the piglets and the villagers will be responsible for raising them.
After the pigs are raised and slaughtered, you will be responsible for selling them. The profit will be split 40% to 60%, with you getting 60% and the villagers getting 40%.
First, it solves the supply problem. Second, it allows for closer cooperation with the village. Third, with the doctors here, there's no need to worry about swine fever. So, do you want to start this business?"
Zhang is a smart man, but in previous years, he still had a headache because of the supply problem. In this business, once you start a business, it is easy to lose customers if you can't find the source of goods.
If you open your own farm, you will never have to worry about the supply of goods.
Besides, as Xiu Yatou said, they are outsiders after all and are not from the same village as the people of Houshan Village.
If it is because of breeding cooperation, everyone’s connection will naturally become closer.
"Okay, then our family will invest and run this farm."
“I just don’t know how much money it will take to invest, and whether our family can come up with all the money.”
Zhang was still a little worried. Although her family made a lot of money from selling pigs, their expenses were also quite high.
Xiushui lowered her voice.
"My sister Xiuli's original dowry money has been kept by our family. This time, you can take out the money you can invest. The remaining money will be paid by our Wen family. This money will be considered as Sister Xiuli's dowry."
"this……"
Xiu Li was horrified and wanted to stop him. She had already given birth to a child, so why did she need dowry money?
Xiushui reached out and pressed her shoulder.
"Sister, back then, the old man was a scoundrel and married you off for money. Even though the money was squandered by the old man, it's still what our family owes you.
Giving you a dowry now is what we all agreed upon. No matter what, the Wen family still owes you."
Xiu Li's eyes turned red and she waved her hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, I know. You're all very kind to me. The only bad one is that old guy. I, I..."
She was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
Looking at so many girls who marry out, how many of them will have their natal family add to their dowry after they give birth to a baby?
"It's settled. When Brother-in-law Bao returns, he'll discuss the farm matter with our village chief."
"good."
Aunt Zhang glanced at her daughter-in-law and then agreed on her behalf.
After Xiushui left, Xiuli was still holding Shuigen in a daze.
Zhang put a bowl of water in her hand. "Xiu Li, you'll have your own family in the future. It's really good now."
Xiuli couldn't stop her tears from flowing again. "Mom, I didn't dare to go home before, and I didn't want to go home. Sometimes I even thought that I was redundant at home.
After experiencing the famine, I realized that my true family members care about me, and I also have a family background..."
Looking at her daughter-in-law's face with tears but a happy smile, Zhang also smiled: her daughter-in-law's heart knot was untied.
