No one said anything, just watched his reaction.

Zhou Dahe had been working as a blacksmith for many years and knew a few words. Seeing that no one spoke, he opened the book and read it himself.

Wait, was he seeing things? Was he tired, his eyes blurry? Here, here, why are there five thousand more wire rings? He rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the five thousand were still there.

He decisively put down the paper, raised his legs and walked back. He didn't want to, as long as he was not here, it meant that he didn't know about this list.

Zhou Dajiang understood his brother and quickly stopped him, "Five thousand, you read that right, even if you weren't here, the order for five thousand would still go through."

Zhou Dahe turned around and said lazily, "If you guys go down, we can't finish it."

"We will move to a new factory after the new year and hire more people then. Just hold on." Xue Jin persuaded.

"No matter how hard I try, I can't pull it off. There are still tens of thousands of orders waiting for me. If I don't rush, I'll definitely pull it off in half a year."

Zhou Dajiang saw that his brother had been sticking with it for half a year, and this was not enough, so he started his trickery again.

"You guys should start working early after the New Year. If you can finish the supply within three months or two months, I will take you with me next time I go to the provincial capital to deliver goods. You will also be the one delivering goods to the provincial capital in the future. How about it?" He started to be busy after the New Year. He had to plant fruit trees, farm, and study. If he finished his work early, he could save some time.

Poor Zhou Dahe, he naturally had no idea what his second brother was thinking. He was very happy when he thought that he would be able to go to the provincial capital frequently in the future, even on business trips.

This order had to be taken. This time, he didn't even need Xue Jin's persuasion; he took the initiative and said, "We'll take the five thousand. We guarantee we can complete the task!"

Then he looked at Zhou Dajiang and said, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Zhou Dajiang nodded and said, "I promised you. They both heard it."

Originally, this delivery job was not his responsibility, but he took it on the side because he wanted to accompany his mother-in-law to deliver the goods. Since this fool took it, he could just let his mother-in-law go with him in the future.

Zhou Dahe had no idea that his second brother had taken him to heart. After receiving the assurance, he rushed out as if he had stepped on a hot wheel.

In the future, he can go to the provincial capital often. He doesn’t have to work and still gets paid. Just thinking about it makes him happy.

Although he's a master now and doesn't have to work, everyone is working, so he wants to earn more. The factory provides subsidies for business trips, so I don't have to work, I get paid, and I can even go to the capital. It's simply too good! My second brother is so nice, he always thinks of me!

After the others left, Xue Jin and Ma Lin looked at Zhou Dajiang with very fiery eyes. This guy was too awesome, he was simply the reincarnation of the 'Ancestor of Fraud'. He could make people nod their heads with just a few words, and there was no sign of reluctance at all. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it!

Zhou Dajiang brushed off the nonexistent dust on his clothes. This was nothing serious, a trivial matter. Then, he asked about the matter that had been weighing on his mind the most.

"Are we going to have our day off on the 28th, or after work? When will we get paid?"

What he actually wanted to ask was when his year-end bonus would be paid, but he didn't have the courage to ask directly, so he took a roundabout way and asked when everyone's wages would be paid.

"We'll be off work after the 28th and back to work on the 8th," Xue Jin replied.

I originally wanted to release it on the same day, but now there is another order, so I might as well work one more day.

Marin also replied, "Wages will also be collected on the 28th, along with the festival gifts. Mr. Zhou will also need to go there on the same day to collect your share."

Ma Lin has always been respectful to Zhou Dajiang. The reason is simple: the big boss Xue Jing calls him brother, and he can't just treat him like a brother.

Zhou Dajiang was delighted to finally have the answer to his question. Without further ado, he explained his third purpose for coming today. He bought a toothbrush, a kitchen set, and a meat grinder at the factory price, settled the bill with Ma Lin, and left with his belongings.

Seeing that Zhou Dajiang was buying products from their own factory as gifts, Xue Jin and Ma Ren couldn't help but think it was a good idea. They decided to change the annual gift and add a meat grinder to the leadership level. This way, they could take it home as a gift, and even if they didn't give it as a gift, it would be nice to use at home. Of course, that's a story for later.

Zhou Dajiang bought the things and ran back home happily. Chen Xiuying also took the doll back from her mother.

Seeing him come back, Chen Xiuying smiled and said, "Mom and the others gave out holiday gifts today. Guess what they gave me?"

"What did they get? Do they still have time to go out and buy things?" Zhou Dajiang asked casually.

"We gave them three feet of cloth and two pounds of cotton, and told them to do whatever they wanted when they got home. Even my sister-in-law, my brother's wife and I got a share." Chen Xiuying was happy just thinking about it. The three of them had only helped for a few days, and they also received festival gifts.

"You guys have to keep helping out after the New Year. Do you think it's free?"

"Just do it! It's not in vain anyway. I'm not busy before spring, and I can earn some pocket money by sewing little dolls. It's not bad either."

"Okay, as long as you can be busy." Zhou Dajiang didn't care. He was mainly worried about his wife. He had been very busy recently, and his wife was also busy every day. He originally hoped that she could take a rest when she had time, but since she didn't want to, then forget it.

Early the next morning, the old man slaughtered a pig and his sons all offered to help.

Originally, Zhou's mother had thought that if her sons struggled after the division, she would sell some of the produce and share the profits. She would then give each family some meat as a token of appreciation, so they could still have a good New Year. But now that her sons' families were all doing well, she no longer worried about that.

She kept the head, trotters, and offal from the 300-pound pig and divided the rest among her sons. She shared the two hindquarters with her sons, one for each of them, the other for the eldest son, and the two front shanks with the second and third sons. She also gave the second and third sons half a rib from the hindquarters, along with the backbone and ribs for lunch. The remaining lard, pork belly, and pork tenderloin were left over, but the old lady refused to take them and told the three brothers to share. Zhou Dahai and Zhou Dahe each took half of the lard, the pork belly was divided among the three families, and all the pork tenderloin went to Zhou Dajiang.

After the pigs are divided, we will plan for lunch. After slaughtering the pigs, we have to invite the villagers, relatives and friends to have a meal.

Besides the spine and ribs, the old lady had the butcher cut off a portion of the pork knuckle for her to braise for lunch. Zhou Dahe also took out his share of the pork belly, while Zhou Dahai brought out four rabbits, and Zhou Dajiang contributed bok choy, celery, sauerkraut, and mushrooms.

The old house was used to slaughter pigs and raise rabbits, and the environment was too bad, so lunch was arranged at Zhou Dajiang's house again.

The butcher here, after dividing the pigs and cleaning up the scene, was planning to take his wages and leave. Seeing this, Zhou Dajiang stopped him and said that the pig's blood had to be processed while it was still hot.

The butcher was stunned when he asked, "Don't we throw away the pig's blood? What should we do with it?"

"Blood sausage! Have you ever eaten blood sausage?"

The young man shook his head, "No."

Zhou Dajiang was helpless and had to ask his wife for help. "Then you wait here and I'll help you later." After saying that, he went home excitedly to find his wife.

Chen Xiuying came very quickly. When Zhou Dajiang returned home, she had just finished breakfast and followed him without even taking off her apron.
