After Liu's father came back, the first batch of piglets in the family had basically grown to more than 100 kilograms.

The castrated pigs grow faster, and in addition to feeding the pigs, the family also collects wheat bran from the grocery store in the city. The wealthy families in the city eat more refined grains, so the wheat bran is saved.

The weather was too hot in July and August, and the piglets could not grow much, so Liu's father decided to kill and sell all the pigs weighing more than 100 kilograms.

There is still some left. If I take good care of it in the fall, I can weigh more than 100 kilograms by the end of the year.

In this way, we can basically kill and sell a few pigs every month. Even if we don’t sell them, we can still supply them to our own spicy hot pot shop.

The braised meat shop still needs to place orders with the pork shop in the county.

This year, Liu's father kept four sows for breeding, with three matings per year. Together with the piglets sent by Gao Jiading from Wuqing Village every month, the family will basically be self-sufficient every quarter in the future.

After the large batch is sold, the piglets are added to form a complete and good circulation chain.

Under the management of Liu's mother, after the piglet was killed, in addition to eating it herself, she would also organize the family to make some sausages.

Although the sausages can’t be kept for too long in this weather, we tried selling them in a spicy hot pot shop and the results were very good. Many people liked to eat them. The braised meat shop would also cook some and sell them together with the braised meat.

During this period, a family from the next door village saw that their braised meat shop was doing well selling pig offal and pig heads, so they started to sell them specifically to try to steal the business.

However, due to insufficient seasoning or insufficient cleaning, pig heads and offal always have a fishy smell.

After Liu Hao learned the news, he took strict precautions, fearing that those people would go to the braised meat shop to cause trouble, or try to steal their house. Fortunately, nothing happened, and the family retreated after holding out for ten days.

Liu Hao paid attention to the news there every day. At the beginning, all the dishes were sold out at a low price. But the dishes were so unpalatable that people who had eaten them once would not be fooled again. Gradually, the reputation of the dishes collapsed.

In the end, I couldn't sell anything and ended up losing money.

The incident did not cause any splash for them.

After that, do what you need to do.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Qu Dingliang and Zhang Hu spent an entire afternoon training the shop owners, explaining the interests involved and possible accidents. They also divided the responsibilities among the main persons in charge of the three shops and promised to give them year-end bonuses if they performed well at the end of the year.

Of course, if something happens in the store, they will also have to take responsibility.

Finally, the three of them gave their assurances.

That day, Liu's father slaughtered two pigs in the morning, packed the meat in a wooden barrel, and packed a basket of sausages. He drove a mule cart to the county town to deliver the goods.

Today we have two sets of pig offal, two pig heads, and eight pig feet at home, plus the two we order from the pork shop in the county every day, so the quantity to be sold tomorrow will be a lot larger.

Father Liu was thinking about bringing some back to the village to treat his family, but someone came to his door.

At about the hour of You, Father Liu was talking to Zhang Hu in the yard.

"Hu Zi, I heard before that your son is not born speechless. When I went to the capital this time, I heard that the doctor in a clinic is very capable. He has treated many difficult and complicated diseases. When we have a chance later, we will take Xiao Peng to the capital to have him checked out. If he can speak, it will make life easier in the future."

"Uncle Liu." Zhang Hu stood up excitedly after hearing this. He was still holding a lotus root with a lot of mud on it. He seemed a little at a loss.

"It's okay, don't get excited, I just heard about it, but there is always hope. Keep a calm mindset, it won't be worse than it is now, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Liu, you are right, thank you." Zhang Hu bowed to Liu's father, wiped his moist eyes with his sleeve, sat down and continued his work.

In the afternoon, after the store closes, they will take a break and then prepare some side dishes for dinner and tomorrow's lunch.

Zhang Hu was also a person who could not sit still. He did some dirty and tiring work, such as washing pig offal and lotus roots.

Mrs. Tian and her friends got along very well with Zhang Hu. When they heard what Liu's father said, they were happy for Zhang Hu. They all knew that Zhang Hu's son Zhang Peng could not speak.

Zhang Hu also wanted his son to be with him, but the store was very busy and his son could not speak. If he was not looked after and got lost or kidnapped, he would not survive.

Fortunately, the host family are very nice people and are very tolerant towards children. Zhang Peng can play with Liu Xiaomei and other children.

He left his son in the village without any worries, and worked hard in the shop to earn money, hoping to save money so that he could have a chance to see a doctor for his son.

Father Liu took some time to inspect the three shops. The braised meat shop now has a unified signboard, the same as the name of the spicy hot pot and cold pot skewers shop, so people can tell at a glance that they have the same owner. In addition, the pattern designed by Liu Xiaolu is carved on the wooden plaque, making it look more and more like a chain store.

After returning home and having dinner in the evening, Father Liu was still sighing that although he was away during this period, the family was still in good order.

It can be seen that no one is indispensable and life can go on without anyone.

"Nothing, I'm about to set off back to the prefecture. I want to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible. This time I brought the savings from my family. If conditions permit, I will open a store in the provincial capital. Our braised meat shop can also be regarded as a well-known name in Zhongzhou."

"Okay, go and take a look. Take all the money the family has earned during this period. We will be able to get a lot of money back from selling the chickens and rabbits soon. It will be enough for future expenses."

"This rabbit is really good-looking. Haozi, you must keep Aunt Gao and her family here. I suggest you sign a long-term contract with them, or invite them to live on our farm. Build a house for them in the vacant land next door."

"Okay, I think so too. Sister Gao comes over to deliver little rabbits every once in a while. I've wanted to keep her here for a long time. I still have to hire someone when the rabbits at home give birth to puppies. If she can come and take care of the rabbits, the scale of the rabbit farm at home can be further developed."

"Well, I just saw that rabbits grow fast, so we just need to arrange people to cut grass everywhere. They reproduce quickly and have a short growth cycle, which is suitable for large-scale development. I had planned to raise ducks and fish before, but now I think raising rabbits is much more convenient than raising these."

"Okay, raise rabbits in the third row, chickens in the second row, and pigs in the first row. We won't move the depression as there are no plans for now. There's a little triangular vacant land next to it, so we can build a yard. When more and more people come in, we can use it as a staff dormitory."

Father Liu also thought it was feasible, mainly because there were too many things going on at the moment and this depression was indeed a huge project, so it could only be put on hold for the time being.
