Farming and reading family

She is also budget-conscious now, but the whole process is costing money.

"Not enough money?" Chen Ke saw that Gao E didn't continue speaking.

"No..." Gao E smiled. "I want you to talk to Big Brother about how to clean up the mess later. The villagers will do it themselves. We will give Big Brother some money when the time comes."

Chen Ke thought about it and said: "Okay."

The next day, Chen Qing and Chen Jie arrived before dawn.

Gao E packed two large bags and gave them to Yang and Lei to take back to their parents' home, and packed the rest to sell.

"What does my second sister-in-law want to do with this hanging pot?" Lei was puzzled.

"The aroma of the braised food will fade once it gets cold. I'll bring a hanging pot to boil the braised soup, which will attract people." Gao E said with a smile.

"Second sister-in-law is still smart." Lei suddenly realized.

Chen Ke stayed at home to look after the house, while Gao E followed her eldest brother and third brother to sell these things.

"I want to go too." Chen Hanyue said in a low voice.

The carriage was already full of things, only enough for Gao E to sit inside. Chen Jie was driving, and even the eldest brother had to walk. If Chen Hanyue wanted to go, she could only walk.

"What are you going there for?" Yang was dissatisfied. "Your second aunt and the others are not going there for fun."

Chen Hanyue looked straight at her second aunt.

"The carriage is full, you have to walk." Gao E explained to her.

"It's okay." Chen Hanyue was happy.

"Then let's go together. This is our first time setting up a stall. Having more people to watch over the stall will help us deal with any accidents." Gao E explained.

Everyone thought it made sense and decided to take Chen Hanyue with them.

The road was silent as they set out.

"No one in the village catches fish anymore?" Gao E asked curiously.

"That time we caught enough fish for them to eat for a long time. I heard that Hu Dachun's family wanted to dry it, but it turned out to be smelly." Chen Jie said with a laugh.

Hu Dachun is Feng's man. He is an honest man, but he is scolded by Feng every day and cannot raise his head.

Gao E thought that since there was too much salt now, she could pickle some fish with different flavors so that she could change the taste later.

On the way, Yang and Lei separated from them and returned to their parents' home. It was just dawn when they arrived in He County.

The vegetable market in He County is not big, just one street. Some people set up stalls on the roadside and start selling things.

There was no hawking, and it was quiet except for the bargaining between the stall owners and customers.

They had a carriage, so they found a recessed space to park the carriage, then took out wooden boards and placed the meat neatly on them.

Chen Jie helped his second sister-in-law move out the small stove, lit the fire and put the pot on the rack.

Gao E also threw two pig's feet into the stew. The pot was not big, just to attract people.

When the broth in the pot slowly becomes hot, the aroma immediately wafts out.

This fragrance was very abrupt in the morning vegetable market. Many people sniffed and followed the scent to see a row of fresh pork.

"How much is this braised pork?" someone asked soon.

"Ten cents per pound." Gao E said directly.

"Who sells pig offal so expensively!" The man looked disgusted but had no intention of leaving.

"Pork is cheap, only nine cents." Gao E was not angry.

This is how business works. There are always people trying to push down prices. The key is whether they leave or not.

Her price was two cents cheaper than the market price. The people around her became excited when they heard it and looked at the pork with burning eyes.

Chen Qing was not good at doing business. Although Chen Jie explained it very clearly, it was his first time to set up a stall to do business, so he didn't know much about it.

"Wow, it's so cheap, could it be that he died of illness?" someone else found fault.

Gao E smiled and held up a piece of pork belly to show it to the people. "Look at the thickness of the fat. It must be grown by a fat and strong pig. And the color is also good. How can the pork of a pig that died of disease be so bright?"

When the people around heard this, they all agreed. The meat looked good.

"This is our own pig. It's cheaper to kill it yourself." Gao E said with a smile, "I don't have many pigs at home."

When she said this, people around her realized that it was not every day that such good pork was available, or at such a cheap price.

"Weigh that one for me." Someone immediately prepared to buy it.

Someone spoke up, and the rest of the people became anxious and started to pick.

Others sell meat by hanging it up in one piece, but Gao E cuts it into pieces. Many people just buy the piece they like, which is much simpler.

Chen Jie was weighing and collecting money, Chen Qing was helping to carry the pork, and Gao E was greeting people in an orderly manner.

People like to gather around the stalls when they want to buy things. The more people gather around, the more people will come. Seeing that the area was packed with people, Peng Can squeezed to the front.

He was a whole head taller than the others. He stood in front with his arms folded, staring at the Chen family. The people who were originally buying meat didn't dare to move.

When Chen Qing saw Peng Can, he immediately protected his third brother and second brother's wife behind him, looking up at Peng Can with neither humility nor arrogance.

"Which village are you from?" Peng Can said as he glanced at the pork on the wooden board.

"What's the matter?" Chen Qing did not answer.

"We have to follow the rules when doing business. You are breaking the rules by doing this." Peng Can said domineeringly.

"What rules were broken?" Gao E took a step forward and stood with her elder brother.

She was not afraid at all as a girl at the time, let alone now that there were two men standing next to her.

"If you sell things like this, how can others sell theirs?" Peng Can spread his hands.

"Since you said it's a business, I think it's viable." Gao E said calmly, "I'm just selling two of my own pigs."

Peng Can sneered: "Your family is a wild boar. Who raises wild boars?"

The people around were stunned. In the past, wild boar meat would be one or two cents more expensive. After all, it was game, and some wealthy families liked it.

Gao E didn't expect that this big and strong man could have such good judgment: "Why can't my family raise wild boars?"

Peng Can was stunned by the question and let go of his arms, not knowing how to answer.

"If you think I'm selling it too cheaply, you can just buy them all. It's up to you what to do with them later." Gao E said with a smile.

Peng Can looked at the meat. Actually, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this family selling pork at a lower price, but he was the best butcher in He County, and since he was pushed to cause trouble, he just wanted to give them a good beating.

I thought they were just ordinary farmers and that I could scare them with just a few words, but they turned out to be quite tough.

The key is that I am indeed not in the right.

"Can your family really raise wild boars?" Peng Can didn't quite believe it.

"What? You want to collect it?" Gao E joked.

Peng Can thought for a moment and said, "If you really have it, I'll charge you one cent more per pound than ordinary pigs."

Gao E looked at her eldest brother and third brother. In fact, they were forced to kill the pigs and sell them.

Both of them wanted Gao E to agree to this.

"How about this, after all the meat is sold, we can discuss it slowly." Gao E suggested.

Peng Can thought about it and said, "Okay."

He said and stood aside.

As a result, when he stopped, people around him were afraid to buy anything. Many people who came to buy vegetables regularly knew Peng Can, who was usually easy to talk to but could not be provoked.

Gao E looked at Peng Can speechlessly.

Peng Can scratched his head: "I have a way."
