This thing is extremely precious during this solar term, and usually only wealthy families can afford to eat it.

Seeing this, Leng Yan thought about the sour and sweet taste, and her mouth kept watering. After asking the price, she swallowed her saliva instantly and turned to look at the pork stall.

Green tangerines cost thirty cents a pound, but they were not as delicious as pork. She immediately asked, "Boss, how much is this big pig head?"

It's not a festival, not a sacrifice, so pig heads are not expensive. The boss said, "If you want the whole thing, I'll give you a cheaper price, eight copper coins per pound."

This price is really reasonable. Leng Yan nodded immediately, and the boss weighed it happily.

"It's sixteen pounds in total, which is one hundred and twenty-eight copper coins. I'll give you one hundred and twenty-five."

The boss smiled heartily and looked like an honest man.

Leng Yan responded and was about to pay, but old man Leng beside him asked, "Boss, how much do you want for this pig offal?"

He always remembered the taste of the pot of pig offal braised by his eldest granddaughter years ago. It was not only delicious but also a good match for wine. He always remembered it.

He had made some money today and bought a bullock cart. He was so happy that he wanted to have a couple of drinks, so he wanted his eldest granddaughter to braise some pig offal to go with the wine.

It was rare for Old Man Leng to ask for food, so Leng Yan naturally agreed.

The pork stall owner was also delighted. "If you want the offal, I won't charge you more. Just pay 130 coins for it and the pig's head."

The boss was happy to be able to sell the hardest-to-sell items, and the grandfather and grandson were also happy to spend five cents and get a pair of pig offal.

After they paid the coins, they went home happily.

When the ox cart lurched into the village, it caused quite a commotion.

The villagers were all surprised and surprised when they saw this, "Is this really the second branch of the Leng family that is so poor that even mice dare not stay there?"

"Where did they get the money to buy the cart? Aren't they extremely poor?"

"Yes, yes, I guess he did something shameful.

In the past, I was so poor that I had to borrow a few cents from various families to buy medicine for that silly girl. How come now I can get money just by saying I have it? "

"That's right, you don't know that the family goes out in a bullock cart before dawn every day and doesn't come back until noon.

You've been talking for so long, who knows what you've been doing?"

There may be many families in the village who are jealous and unable to sleep tonight, but none of this will affect the Leng family's current happiness.

When the ox cart was rushing back home, the big yellow dog was frightened and started barking.

Leng Yan jumped off the ox cart and tried to calm Da Huang's restlessness, but when Da Huang saw her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and kept backing away with its tail between its legs.

Leng Yan shook her head helplessly. It seemed that yesterday's transformation of the living rabbit had left a big shadow on Dahuang.

I guess Da Huang is looking at her as if she were some monster.

"Ah, the cart...it's a bullock cart!"

Leng Qi and his sister had just finished feeding the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard when they saw the ox cart coming in. They were so excited that they jumped up and down.

Even Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su, who were picking vegetables nearby, were shocked when they saw this.

After they were amazed enough, Mr. Leng then took the bull cart to the backyard and built a cowshed. Leng Yan quickly explained the whole story.

The whole family was very happy to hear this. The dividend of Xianju Pavilion alone was fifty or sixty taels a month. The Xianju Pavilion and the Leng family of the other five families couldn't even think about it.

Seeing this, Leng Yan calmly waved his hand and said, "This is just the beginning of the cooperation."

In order to receive dividends in the long term, she would have to provide Xianju Pavilion with some new recipes from time to time in the future, so as to achieve long-lasting cooperation.

However, she did not tell her family about this, and only said, "We have many other places where we need money, and buying a bullock cart today is just the beginning.

In the future, we will build a house, buy land, and send my uncle, elder brother, and younger brother to school. Each of these expenses will be considerable..."

Leng Yan calculated everything one by one, and the whole family was worried when they heard it.

At this time, Leng Huai and Leng Cang, uncle and nephew, who were digging wild vegetables from the mountains, rushed in with baskets on their backs, just in time to hear that they were going to be sent to school.

Immediately, the two of them gasped and said in unison: "We are not going to study!"

When they came down from the mountain just now, they heard the villagers gathered in groups of three or four and talked about rumors.

Some even went so far as to pull the two of them aside and ask them what they were doing that made them go out early and come back late, and how they could make so much money that they could buy a bullock cart so quickly.

"Yes, yes, you two may not know this, but when your grandfather brought Sister Yan back to the village in the ox cart, he looked so proud!"

That group of people were talking and laughing in a meaningful way, and all of them had bad intentions.

Leng Huai and Leng Cang were at the age of being a magistrate, so how could they not understand the hidden meaning in their words? They immediately started arguing with them.

But when the group of people saw this, they would only say, "It's no big deal, we were just joking, asking casually, no harm done, why are you taking it so seriously?" and so on.

Both of them are still young boys, full of innocence, they can only rush around recklessly, and there is no way they can defeat those soft knives that hurt people.

In the end, you will only be furious and unable to find a way out, and you will be labeled as someone who loses his temper and is immature.

"What happened?"

Leng Yan frowned in confusion. Usually when talking about Leng Zi'an's study, his uncle and elder brothers were all envious and yearning for him.

After thinking about it, their concern is nothing more than money.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about spending money, studying is your top priority.

Besides, we can't go now. We have to wait until the winter wheat is harvested.

By then, we will have more money in our hands, and the shop will continue to have revenue, which will be more than enough for you to go to school."

"But...we want to make money, we are not useless people!"

Both of them were angry and stammering when they heard this, feeling particularly uneasy.

Leng Yan noticed something was wrong and after some questioning, they told him what had just happened.

Her heart sank, and seeing how aggrieved the two were, she spoke patiently to comfort them.

"Brother, don't let others control your temper. Be a stable person.

Only when people are calm and know what they are doing, can they counterattack more directly and without leaving any room for criticism.

Even if it's a soft knife, you can still stab it back with your reason."

Leng Huai and Leng Cang were a little confused when they heard this. Leng Yan knew that he was too impatient and thought to himself that he should take it slow in the future.

Zhang Cuiniang, who was standing by, was so angry that she became unstable. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and was ready to go out and fight with them.
