After the meal, everyone wanted to buy some pork. At this time, Qiao Chao suddenly remembered that Zhen had told him before that the price of this pork was three cents more expensive than ordinary pork.

"Wait a minute, pork is usually 20 cents per pound, but my pork is a little different from other pork, you can tell when you eat it." Qiao Chao suddenly said loudly, "So this pork will be five cents more expensive than usual, but you helped me, and we are still neighbors, so I will give you two cents off. If you can accept it, you can buy it back. If you can't accept it, it's okay not to buy it."

"Ah? Wouldn't that be three cents more expensive? There's no difference in the taste for me? Don't they both taste like meat? I won't buy it." Some people left after hearing this.

Some people also think that the price is a bit too high, and ask, "Can it be reduced by one cent?"

Qiao Chao shook his head, "No, if people don't buy it, we will sell it in the county town."

The butcher on the side was eating the meat, which was indeed different from what he had eaten before. Moreover, the Qiao family also paid for the pig slaughter today, so he bought two pounds of it without hesitation, and a bone. "I think your radish is good, can you sell me one?"

The radish looked quite big, and it looked like he couldn't finish it in one meal.

Qiao Chao: "Of course, but since this is our first order, I'll give you the carrot for free."

"Then I'll buy one too. I also want the free radish." The radish is so big, it should be worth several cents, right?

Qiao Chao shook his head. "Only the butcher can do that, because he was the first one to buy it."

"……OK then."

In the end, only three or four people bought meat, including the village chief's family, who asked for ten kilograms of meat to make sausages. The rest did not buy anything. Life was already difficult this year, so they decided not to spend money recklessly. It was all meat, wasn't it? They didn't think there was any difference.

Little did they know that the next time they ate other pork, they really felt that it was different, but they couldn't buy it even if they wanted to, because the Qiao family sold most of the pork and ate part of it themselves.

After everyone finished cleaning up and left, only the Qiao family members were left in the yard. They began to clean up the garbage and bloodstains on the ground one by one. As for the remaining pork, Qiao Chao and his team were going to take one of the pigs to the county town tomorrow morning.

It was already late after cleaning up. Zhen Yue held her waist and walked to the side to rest. Little Ah Chu also stretched out his hands for her to hold. At this time, Qiao Chao also came over. Zhen Yue nodded to the little man in the stroller and said, "You hold him."

Qiao Chao: ...

Finally he picked up his son. Fortunately, little Achu didn't cry and just nestled in Qiao Chao's arms.

On the second day, Qiao Chao and Qiao Er brought a pig to the Song residence. "This is the pig raised by my family. We weighed this pig at home and it weighed 315 kilograms. This pig was mostly fed with vegetables from our family. We also did some processing on this pig... that is..."

Qiao Chao whispered to Song Tiesheng about the stir-fried pork, "It will be smoother and more delicious than ordinary pork, and it won't have any mutton smell. Twenty-five cents a pound. Brother Tiesheng, can you please ask your master if he needs it?"

When Song Tiesheng heard Qiao Chao say "fan the pig", his face changed and he glanced at Qiao Chao's lower body...

Qiao Chao: ...Why does everyone look at him down there?

Song Tiesheng: "I'll go ask."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Brother Tiesheng. Here is a little snack for you."

Song Tiesheng was very happy that Qiao Chao gave him gifts from time to time. At least he felt that he was valued, and the gifts were given to him specifically.

Song Tiesheng came out about half a quarter of an hour after he went in, bringing a few people with him. Those people weighed the pig first and found that it was almost the same as what Qiao Chao said. Then Song Tiesheng settled the money.

The total amount was six and a half taels. Seeing that the Song family really wanted the meat, Qiao Chao breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually afraid that the Song family would not want it, and then they would not know how to sell the meat.

In fact, the Song family bought meat mainly to make sausages and bacon, and when the New Year was approaching, they would send these sausages and bacon to other families as New Year gifts.

The matter of selling meat came to an end, and the next thing was the matter of the cellar. On the second day, Qiao Chao and his team started digging. Qiao Chen and Qian were also preparing to make sausages and bacon. After all, there was so much meat that it would go bad if not eaten. Although the weather was much colder now, it would still go bad if left for too long.

Zhen Yue is working in the vegetable garden behind the house. She is now preparing to plant tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and green vegetables.

These vegetables would not be able to survive here in the cold winter, but Zhen Yue can keep them alive using her special powers. Zhen Yue doesn't grow them to eat, but to sell them at a high price.

The soybeans at home have been harvested, and they can be stimulated to grow bean sprouts. In fact, she also wants to go into the mountains again to see if there are any winter bamboo shoots, so that the family can have one more vegetable.

However, Qiao Chao is still helping to dig the cellar. Let's talk about it after the cellar work is finished. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it seems like there is no end to it. Zhen Yue sighed, and the air exhaled from her mouth formed white mist in the air. The weather has been getting colder recently.

"Aunt, my brother has woken up." Xiaohua suddenly ran over to find her.

Zhen Yue didn't hear the child crying so she wasn't in a hurry. "It's okay, you guys just watch first. I'll go see him when he starts crying."

"Ok."

It took three days to build a relatively simple cellar, and then all the cabbages and radishes in the house could be put in. Qiao Dashan went to find some hay and spread it on the wooden board above the cellar, making it thicker and adding some sand so that people could not tell there was a cellar.

The family can finally stay at home and rest for two days. Now they don’t need to do any work in the fields. Let the land rest and wait until next spring to sow again.

Qiao Chen and Qian did some housework and needlework at home. Sometimes Qian went out to the big banyan tree in the village to listen to gossip.

Apart from cooking in the back of the house, Zhen Yue spent the rest of her time staying in her room pretending to learn to read, or taking care of the children. Qiao Chao was doing much the same.

Qiao Chao couldn't stay in the room that day and said, "I'm going to the mountains today." Although it was very cold today, he felt it was boring to stay in the room all the time.

Without books, paper and pen, he couldn't read or draw. In short, he couldn't do anything elegant, so he just went out for a walk.

It was absolutely impossible for him to follow Qian to listen to gossip, so he could only go hunting in the mountains.

When Zhen Yue heard him say that, she immediately said, "I'll go too."

"What about the child?"

"Let his grandmother take care of him." Zhen Yue picked up little Achu. He had grown up a little recently and no longer needed to be taken care of so carefully. If he didn't want to drink milk, he could just drink some porridge or water.

Zhen Yue handed little Ah Chu to Qiao Chenshi, "I'm going to the mountains with his father."

Mrs. Qiao Chen was a little worried, "Is it a bad idea to go into the mountains on this day?"

Zhen Yue: "It's okay, we'll just stay outside the mountain and won't go inside at all."

"Then you guys pay attention."

"Ah."
