All the men in the Su family went to the fields, even Su An Dong was not at home. The Su family bought another 10 mu of wasteland, which had already been reclaimed. It was probably too late to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes now, so they simply planted some cabbage, radish, etc. They were studying what to plant in the fields and how many seeds they needed. Su An Dong would go to the county tomorrow to buy them.

Su Yuanyuan ran to the farm and told them about Su Zhihao's hunting of wild boars. When the people in the farm heard this, they all followed him home.

Su An Dong was in a hurry, but when he learned from his daughter that his son was not injured, he felt relieved. This time he was not in a hurry at all, and walked home leisurely.

Before Su Zhihao reached the foot of the mountain while driving the ox cart, he saw Li Chunsheng at the foot of the mountain.

When Li Chunsheng saw Su Zhihao driving a ox cart not far away, he put the little wild boar on the ground and waited for Su Zhihao.

The two men drove the ox cart up the mountain and did not stop until they reached a place where it was inconvenient to drive the cart.

Su Zhihao said to Li Chunsheng, "Uncle Li, you drive the car and wait for me here. I will go and carry the wild boar."

Li Chunsheng didn't bother to be polite with Su Zhihao and agreed. He really couldn't handle it alone, so he didn't say those useless polite words.

Su Zhihao trotted to the wild boar hunting site and saw Zhao Xuanming standing there quietly and not attracting any wild animals, so he felt relieved.

Su Zhihao carried the remaining wild boar, which was lighter than the other one. He didn't want to go back to get the smaller one, so he simply carried the smaller one on his back as well.

When Zhao Xuanming saw that he was going to carry both ends on his back, he wanted to take the smaller one and carry it himself.

Su Zhihao avoided him and said, "Your body is not fully grown yet. Be careful not to grow taller if you carry heavy objects. Let's go!" After saying that, he walked towards the direction of the ox cart.

Zhao Xuanming followed behind, knowing that Su Zhihao was doing this for his own good, but he still couldn't help but say, "You haven't grown up yet, why don't you pay attention to yourself?"

Su Zhihao said proudly: "I am naturally gifted and strong! If I can't carry it, I won't force myself! I still need to grow taller!"

Su Zhihao has grown a lot in the past year and a half, and he should be 165cm tall now. This height is still too short for him. He was 187cm before he wore it! If this weight is difficult for him, why would he force himself? He is afraid that he will not grow taller! But this weight is really nothing to him.

Zhao Xuanming looked at Su Zhihao, who was carrying the wild boar with ease, and envied him. The size of the wild boar made Su Zhihao look very petite, but he really did it effortlessly!

After loading all the wild boars onto the ox cart, several people drove the cart down the mountain.

As they drove the ox cart down the mountain, several people discussed how much the wild boar meat should be sold for per pound.

Su Zhihao said: "When I was carrying the wild boar down the mountain just now, someone in the village saw it. I guess someone in the village will buy it soon."

Li Chunsheng replied: "If someone wants to buy, we will sell it to the villagers first. I guess they won't be able to buy much. We will take the rest to the county to sell."

Su Zhihao and Zhao Xuanming had no objection to this. Finally, the three agreed to sell wild boar meat for 16 wen per jin. Because the county's pork was 21 wen per jin for fatter ones and 19 wen per jin for leaner ones. It was supposed to be cheaper, but because of the arrival of refugees, the price of pork has risen.

Wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork, it is tougher and does not have as much fat as domestic pork. People here like fatter meat. So the three decided to sell it at a lower price, mainly because if they sold it at a higher price, no one would buy it.

Before he got home, Su An Dong saw many people standing at the gate of his yard. Some were family members, and some were just there to watch the fun.

As soon as Su Zhihao stopped the ox cart at the gate of his yard, someone asked, "Are you selling pork?"

Su Zhihao and the others looked at each other and replied, "Sell it!"

The man then asked, "How much is one pound?"

Su Zhihao replied: "16 cents per pound."

When the man heard this, he thought the price was acceptable, so he said, "Give me five pounds."

Gradually, many people gathered in front of the Su family, all of whom came to buy pork after hearing about it. This family sold one or two catties, and that family sold three or four catties, and they sold quite a lot. Mr. Wu, who had just settled here like the Su family and was said to be rich, bought 50 catties of meat and a pig's head.

Su Zhihao put a high scale on each household, which made everyone happy to buy. What's more, a wild boar was actually sold in this village.

Some families who wanted to take advantage of Su Zhihao gave up their thoughts after hearing about Su Zhihao's heroic feat of carrying the wild boar down the mountain.

When the crowd dispersed, only Su An Dong's group remained. Su Zhihao looked at them and said, "We are family, so I won't sell at that price. 12 cents a pound, buy some to take home as a snack!"

The other seven families wanted to buy, but they were too embarrassed to ask, fearing that the Su family would be embarrassed to accept the money. After Su Zhihao said this, everyone started talking about how many pounds of meat they wanted to buy, and they all said that 16 cents per pound would be fine.

In the end, Su Zhihao still sold it to them at 12 cents per pound, and gave each family an extra pound of meat.

Everyone was too embarrassed to take it, so Su Zhihao said generously: "We are all family, so we can still borrow this little bit of light, so please don't be polite."

Li Chunsheng and Zhao Xuanming on the side also echoed, Su Zhihao did this, they had discussed it on the way. However, the two were not good at speaking, so they let Su Zhihao speak.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy to hear Su Zhihao say that they were his family. They thanked the three people one after another and happily accepted it.

The Zhao and Li families also left ten pounds of meat and some bones. The main reason was that the weather was hot and they were afraid that they would not be able to store too much. The Su family left more because they had a well and could hang the meat in the well.

The Su family left behind thirty kilograms of pork, and also left behind a lot of ribs and meat bones.

The internal organs were divided among three families by Su Zhihao and the other two.

The Su family paid the three people for the meat. Su Zhihao was very generous when it came to collecting his own money.

Li Chunsheng and Zhao Xuanming did not want to accept money from the Su family. As soon as they opened their mouths to say they did not want to accept the money, Su Zhihao next to them naturally took the money.

Just kidding, this was the first time he made money in the true sense since he came here. And this business was not just his, his family kept more than other families, so he had to collect the money normally.

When the two saw this, they also made up for the money they had saved for the meat.

After selling the meat in the village, they drove the ox cart to the county. Su Anton was worried and followed them. But this time he wanted to let his son play freely, so he did not interfere, but just followed and watched.
