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

Chapter 42 White-Eyed Wolf

The contractor's words were like thunder, making the onlookers and angry men stunned.

What do you mean?
  Could it be that the price of braised meat made from pig waste is not just five copper coins a bowl?
  "Humph~"

The contractor saw through the hypocrisy and pretense of these people and took pleasure in their misfortune.

People's hearts are not ancient, and interests are trending.

Since someone wants to use pigs to bully Brother Jiang, he simply won’t do it and won’t stop——

"Brother Jiang, from now on you can concentrate on delivering goods to Furong Restaurant. A pot of braised meat for three cents of silver is much better than selling it to some ungrateful white-eyed wolf!"

Everyone can understand what the contractor is saying.

If that's the case, then Jiang Changfa sells their bowl of braised food for only five copper coins, isn't it?
  Zhang Dacheng also looked at Xiao Jiang and the contractor in surprise, Furong Restaurant?
  If Xiaojiang supplies braised food to restaurants, wouldn't it be something that ordinary people can't afford?
  So what if the pig goes into the water? It’s made into braised food, it’s so delicious!
  Jiang Changfa nodded after a moment of silence.

He quits the dock business!
  It was not that he was afraid of retaliation from others, but that he was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would cause trouble to the contractor.

That’s all~
  Silently, he squatted down and picked up the stewed meat scattered on the ground.
  Zhang Dacheng sighed, looked at a circle of men with twinkling eyes, and squatted down to help Xiao Jiang clean up the mess.

"A bunch of reckless men, they didn't even know they were being used as a weapon!"

"It's good now, no one will sell you cheap braised food anymore, you just get greedy!"

"idiot!"

As he spoke, he stepped hard on the man on the ground, and then patted the non-existent dust on his trouser legs.

"Let's go, brother Jiang, I'll pay you for my work. From now on, I'll take my share of braised food to Furong Restaurant. I'll go directly to the restaurant for lunch."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Bao."

Jiang Changfa nodded, looking past the workers he was familiar with, and said nothing.

When passing Brother Zhang, he forced a smile and said:

"Take care of yourself."

"Hey, take care."

Zhang Dacheng sighed, going to have lunch at noon, but there will be no Brother Jiang to accompany him, and there will be no delicious braised food~
  What a bunch of bastards!
  Do you think that when honest people are bullied, honest people will be bullied?

Is it okay now?
  Beat the chicken with eggs, now no one can eat cheap and delicious braised food!

The foreman did the math, came up with a round number, and gave him eight days' wages——

Two hundred and forty copper coins.

Jiang Changfa accepted the salary and was grateful.

Although he could not stay at the dock to work, he was deeply touched by the care he received from the contractor these days.

Before leaving, he specially thanked him and said that if a new braised food dish came out, he would send one over for Brother Bao to try~
  The contractor smiled, thinking that this brother did not teach me in vain.

After watching the other party pack up and leave the dock, he narrowed his eyes, stared at some people, and smiled meaningfully.

Do they think that by ousting Brother Jiang, their jobs will be easier?

That's wrong. He's called the contractor, but he's not amiable to everyone!
  Jiang Changfa felt a little uncomfortable after losing his job.

After leaving the pier, he found a deserted corner, squatted down, drank the water in the water bag, and finished his lunch.

As for the dirty braised food, he was reluctant to throw it away.

Take it home, rinse it with water, copy it again, and he will eat it.

"Selling pears and oranges~"

"Sweet and crunchy big pear, so sweet and sweet citrus~"

"Old man, how do you sell these pears and oranges?"

Jiang Changfa, who was about to go home, heard the noise, wiped his mouth, and quickly called the old man who stopped the cart to ask about the price.

The pear seller stopped his wheelbarrow, took off his straw hat, bowed his waist, and asked enthusiastically:

"A pound of pears costs two copper coins, and tangerines cost three copper coins and two catties."

"Give me ten pounds each."

Jiang Changfa thought for a while. Tomorrow is his father-in-law's fiftieth birthday. He should buy some fresh fruits and send them to him. Even if he doesn't eat them, his nephews and nieces can still eat them.

Buy ten pounds each. I have children at home, so leave some for my children to eat.

"That's a lot, are you sure?" The uncle was surprised. It's quite a lot at once.

"Yes, I have a lot of kids at home. I'm going to visit relatives tomorrow, so I'll buy some more that won't bother me."

Jiang Changfa shook his head and turned over the pears and tangerines. They were fine and there were no wormholes.

"okay."

After asking for confirmation, the uncle didn't dare to delay. He quickly took the ancestral scale and picked the bigger one to put on the scale.
  After confirming that it was correct, Jiang Changfa paid and put the pears into a bamboo basket and carried them on his back.

The tangerines were packed in the sacks given by the old man. After paying, the two said goodbye~
  Not even two moments later——

"Wow~"

Suddenly, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei shouted at the courtyard door, their tails wagging non-stop.

Fu Bao was surprised, but judging from the wagging tails of the two puppies, they were one of his own.

After opening the door, she found it was her father, which completely confused her.

Isn't dad working at the dock?
  Come back at this point?
  Did you ask for leave or something happened?
  Jiang Changfa didn't knock on the door. He was not mentally prepared for the son of a bitch to find him and his daughter to open the door for him.

Seeing his daughter looking at him in confusion, his heart melted~
  After entering the courtyard, close the door.

Then he put down the oranges in his hands and the basket on his back, and said happily to his daughter:
  "Daughter, do you see what good things dad has brought back?"

"pear!"

"tangerine!"

Fu Bao cooperated and said that she could see that her father was forcing a smile.

"Hey, my daughter is so smart!"

Jiang Changfa smiled sincerely at this moment. His daughter is so smart. She ate it last year and remembered her name this year!

"Dad~"

Before he could talk to his daughter for a while, the brat came over after hearing the news, threw himself on him, and hugged his neck tightly~
  "Cough cough cough~"

"You brat, let go of daddy's neck~"

"Dad~"

Brother Chuan is here to compete for favor, don’t let me go, don’t let me go, daddy is his!

"A little bit~"

Not only did she not let go, she even made faces at her sister.

Mrs. Liu came out of the kitchen after hearing the commotion. She frowned when she saw the boss coming back early. She knew the boss's temperament and was reluctant to take a day off. Something must have happened!

"Brother Chuan, be good. Brother Chuan is the smartest. Brother Chuan, please send these tangerines to your brother Yu, and daddy will ride a big horse for you, okay?"

After finally pulling his silly son away, Jiang Changfa coaxed his son into sending oranges. After sending his son away, he said frankly to his wife:
  "Hey, I was targeted, and then someone at the dock wanted to deal with me, and even knocked over the braised meat sold today."

Facing his wife, Jiang Changfa told the truth, but he felt a little aggrieved unconsciously.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

After Mrs. Liu heard this, she circled around the head of the house distressedly, fearing that he would be injured.

As for the braised food, if I lost a jar of money, I can only say that I lost money and avoided disaster.

"No, Brother Zhang and the contractor are protecting me. I'm fine. I just lost my job."

Jiang Changfa shook his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter, my mother and I have wanted to say it for a long time. You are tired from working as a porter, so you might as well earn as much as us selling braised meat. It's just right. From now on, I will help my mother and I at home, and our life will be prosperous~"

Mrs. Liu comforted the manager, then stretched out her hand to signal the other party to hand over the remaining wages~
  "Ahem, I still have 205 copper coins left. I spent 35 copper coins to buy ten catties of pears and ten catties of tangerines~"

"Buy so much?"

"I'm thinking of going to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday tomorrow. I can't go empty-handed~"

"Silly, my mother has prepared a pig's head!"

"Ah, this is not a waste. Let's keep some at home and give most of it to my nephews and nieces to eat~"

"You are the only one smart~"
