Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 40 Pig Head
  After deliberation for half an hour, it was finally decided that from now on, Zhang DaDa would provide no less than six pairs of pigs in the water every day, and the upper limit would not exceed ten pairs for the time being.

In the entire Ping'an Town, all the pork dealers only collected six to ten pigs for slaughter a day.

The Jiang family pays five copper coins for each pair of pigs put into the water.

Moreover, it is required that the pickled things in pig sewers have been removed and washed and processed.

Zhang boldly refused at first. He is a grown man. How can he do this? Will he still be able to do business?
  Then Fubao reminded him that he could hire people to do the work. If you only have one copper to wash a pig's water, there are many women competing to do it!
  After thinking about it, I decided it was feasible.

So the two parties signed a contract. If either party regrets it, the other party must inform the other party one month in advance, otherwise the other party will be compensated ten taels of silver!
  Don’t ask where pens, inks, paper and inkstones come from, just ask that these things are always available in your pocket!
  Today, there are seven pigs in the water. Logically speaking, there are thirty-five copper coins, but Zhang boldly said consciously:

"Just give me thirty copper coins. After all, we haven't dealt with it, but we will definitely deal with it according to your requirements tomorrow!"

He thought about it and told his sister and brother-in-law about it later. Life was not easy for them as a couple. There were two more children in the family than him, so money was used everywhere.

Although it is a little dirty to clean up pig water, I believe that the couple can make six or seven copper coins a day if they work together.

Don't underestimate these six or seven copper coins. After a month, that's more than a hundred coins!
  "Yeah, thank you, Uncle Zhang, and I wish you a prosperous business~"

Fu Bao nodded, he was a real person, and she was not stingy with her blessings.

"Boss Zhang, do you have a pig head? I want to buy one for my daughter-in-law's father-in-law's birthday."

Seeing that the business was settled, Mrs. Xu naturally bought gifts.

"Mom, isn't the pig's head too expensive?"

Mrs. Liu's eyes were full of surprise and joy. A pig's head was considered a big gift in the countryside!
  "Silly boy, you bear children and take care of the family affairs for our old Jiang family. Your father is celebrating his birthday, so we can't be stingy anymore."

Mrs. Xu shook her head. Her father-in-law treated her son well, and the brothers in her daughter-in-law's family also helped her a lot.

Both emotions and reasons should be reciprocated with generous gifts!

Upon seeing this, Zhang boldly greeted the family warmly and moved outside.

There are pig heads, two of them.

I picked a big one and let the old man check it.

At his meat stall, the pork is slaughtered on the same day and is always fresh.

When Fu Bao saw the pig head, he was a little scared and hurriedly hid behind Song Yu.

Brother Chuan was not afraid at all and even wanted to reach out and grab the pig’s ears!

汰~
  It’s true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

"Hey, don't touch it."

Mrs. Liu quickly took a step back to stop her son from grabbing the pig's ears.

"Hum~"

Brother Chuan moved his butt unhappily and groaned.

After inspecting the pig's head, Mrs. Xu nodded with satisfaction and asked how much it cost.

"We are all regular customers. Please give us five dollars."

Zhang boldly quoted the price. He usually sold the pig's head for about five or six yuan, and it would be a loss if it was any lower.

"Hey, that's it."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded, the price is very suitable.

She didn't need to mention it, but the boss added some worthless scraps and lent them a sack to hold the pig's head.

Now, there are many and heavy things.

Old Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not easy to get hold of. Song Yu wanted to help, but they both refused and let him do the rough work.

After Zhang boldly collected the money, he said hello to the brother at the stall next to him and simply gave it away to the end, sending the family to the place where the bullock cart was hired.
  In the end, the familiar driver took all the responsibility. It was smelly and there was no one else sitting on the bus, so he simply chartered the bus, gave him ten coppers, and set off~
  "Dengdengdeng~"

"Drive~"

"Sister, what are you doing at home? Why is it that every time I see your daughter-in-law, she is carrying a bag of smelly stuff?" "Ah? What are you talking about?"

"I said big sister, you——"

"Ouch, mother, Brother Chuan peed!"

"Ah~"

The old man who was driving the bus realized it belatedly. They didn't want to tell him!

Hum hum, don’t tell me if you don’t want to, he doesn’t want to know yet!

However, if someone paid the fare, he would reluctantly deliver the person to their doorstep.

"Thank you~"

"You're welcome, just remember to come to me to pull the car next time."

"Definitely~"

Mrs. Liu agreed happily, then helped the children out of the car, followed by her mother-in-law, and finally began to unload the goods.

Such a big movement attracted the attention of the neighbors.

Especially, Bao's!

"Hey, let me tell you, Aunt Xu, your family has become rich recently? Did you buy so many good things?"

Mrs. Bao wished her eyes were stuck in sacks. What did she see? A pig’s head!
  This old Jiang family has made a lot of money recently!

A pig's head costs six to seven dollars, and it's not a holiday, so who would be willing to buy it?

"Daughter-in-law, whether my family gets rich or not has nothing to do with your family. Why do you worry so much about it?"

Old Mrs. Xu stopped in front of Mrs. Bao, and while snarling, she swatted away the opponent's outstretched paw——

"Crack~"

"Hey, Aunt Xu, we are neighbors, are you always so stingy?"

Mrs. Bao groaned, the back of her hand was slapped red, and she grimaced in pain.

"Old lady, in all my years of living, I have never seen a neighbor reach out to someone else's house!

From the Biandan family, is your family too poor to open the pot, or is there something wrong with it? As for robbing me, an old woman? "

Old Xu shouted loudly, attracting the passing villagers.

After her words, the other villagers burst out laughing and helped her mock Bao -

"Hoo ho ho, old man, this is the first time I've seen someone snatch something, and they were so confident~"

"Tsk tsk tsk, pole wife, didn't your pole just come back from working on the moat, and you ran out of money so quickly?"

"That's right, as for robbing Aunt Xu's things? They didn't spend your money, so you don't care what they bought?"

Mrs. Xu signaled her daughter-in-law to take the children back to the courtyard first, and she continued to deal with it——

"It's bad, everyone knows that my family is selling braised food recently to earn a little money to make ends meet. I'm telling him that his father-in-law will have his fiftieth birthday tomorrow. As an in-law, I can't embarrass my daughter-in-law, right?"

As she spoke, she pointed to the pig's head and continued:
  "Chang Fa went to work at the dock in the town. In addition, my family had recently made a little money selling braised meat. So I scraped together the money and bought a pig's head on credit. Otherwise, I would go to his father-in-law's house tomorrow and I wouldn't be able to get the gift. How embarrassing for Cui Niang~"

The folks in the village all know the situation of the Jiang family.

He often celebrates his father-in-law's birthday. As a son-in-law, he is not allowed to send a congratulatory gift.

Although the pig's head is a good thing, any of them may not be able to afford it if they bite the bullet.

For country people, this would really make them look good~
  Old Mrs. Xu said that the pig head was bought by pooling money and taking credit. The villagers' jealousy towards the Jiang family also dissipated, and they all helped Old Mrs. Xu.

Bao was told this and went home in despair, not daring to stay any longer.

Mrs. Xu thanked the villagers and then Shiran entered the house.
