Farming and reading family

He originally wanted to find trouble with the Chen family, but he was not in the right, and it was indeed his fault that things turned out like this.

Seeing their disbelief, Peng Can said, "I often deliver meat to wealthy families. If anyone likes wild game, I'll take you there."

Gao E thought it was feasible: "Really?"

"When have I, Peng Can, ever gone back on my word?" Peng Can felt that he was being looked down upon.

Gao E hesitated for a moment and looked at the third brother.

"I'll go." Chen Jie agreed immediately.

"You can also bring some of this braised food. I'll ask for your help." Peng Can reminded.

They immediately loaded the remaining pork and half of the braised food onto the carriage. Chen Jie drove the carriage and followed Peng Can away.

"Can this Peng Can be trusted?" Chen Qing was a little worried.

"He looks silly, so there shouldn't be any problem." Gao E believed in her intuition.

After the meat was taken away, the crowd dispersed, but people kept asking about the price of the braised meat. Many people disliked the high price, and those who bought it didn't buy much.

After a while, Lu Hao came over stealthily, sniffing around: "How much is this braised food?" He didn't see Gao E.

Gao E didn't expect to meet an acquaintance: "Ten cents."

"Whose..." Lu Hao looked up and saw Gao E, then laughed and said, "Cheaper."

"The taste of my braised pork is worth the price." Gao E didn't mean to be cheap.

Lu Hao smiled apologetically. This was his important client. "It's normal for businessmen to bargain."

"I'm a small business."

Lu Hao really wanted to eat it, but it was two or three cents more expensive than other places, and his money was not blown by the wind.

Just as he was hesitating, two people came over.

The two men were wearing long gowns with narrow sleeves, made of fine cotton cloth that was rare in He County. There were patterns on the collars and cuffs of the gowns, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

Gao E looked at the two people's clothes in surprise. After she came here, she knew that ordinary people wore linen, ramie, and yellow grass cloth, while the richer ones wore silk. This was the first time she saw people wearing cotton.

"Hey, Mr. Fan." Lu Hao immediately bowed and complimented.

Fan Shiping glanced at him, unimpressed: "How much is a pound of your braised food?"

"Ten cents." Gao E could tell from his accent that he was not a local.

"If Mr. Fan likes it, I will give it to you as a gift." Lu Hao spoke immediately.

Fan Shiping still ignored him: "I bought them all."

He disdains dealing with local thugs like this to avoid any trouble.

"Okay." Gao E immediately weighed the braised pork with his elder brother.

There were more than twelve pounds left, and Gao E counted twelve pounds for him. The other party counted the copper coins and threw them on the wooden board beside him, then left with the braised food.

Lu Hao complimented them again from behind, but unfortunately the other party didn't even give him a hair.

"Who are they?" Gao E asked curiously.

Lu Hao shook his head and sighed, "I heard he came from a big city to buy crickets. He'll pay three or five taels for any cricket he likes."

"So expensive?" Gao E looked surprised, but was extremely shocked in her heart.

She was sure that Chen Ke was reborn.

He must have known that some people were buying crickets at high prices, so he caught so many in advance.

When Chen Qing heard Lu Hao say this, his eyes flickered. He knew that his second brother raised a bunch of crickets.

"What do you think?" Lu Hao sighed. "I heard that for people from big cities, eating one piece of dim sum is our livelihood for a year."

Gao E pretended to be shocked: "Then why don't you catch him quickly?"

"I do want to." Lu Hao said helplessly, "They have high requirements. They want crickets about an inch in size. Where can I find crickets that big?"

"But each one weighs only three or five taels." Gao E envied.

Lu Hao looked confused: "It's strange, there used to be a lot of those things, how come there are so few now?"

Gao E didn't know how to explain it.

Lu Hao looked at the empty bowl of braised food and sighed, "I can't catch up with anything." He said and was about to leave.

"Do you know how much that man wants to charge?" Gao E suddenly asked.

"He's very arrogant. He said he'll take whatever you want as long as you meet his conditions." Lu Hao waved with his back to Gao E.

Gao E looked solemn.

Chen Qing watched Lu Hao walk away before asking quietly, "When did my sister-in-law get to know someone like this?"

"I bought some things from him last time." Gao E said casually.

The things had been sold out, so Gao E and Chen Qing packed up the things and waited for Chen Jie and the others to come back.

Gao E briefly calculated today's income and asked, "Brother, do you want to buy anything for my sister-in-law and the others?"

Chen Qing knew he would get a share of the money this time: "No."

Gao E turned to Chen Hanyue again. She had been very active when she came and had been waiting behind her since she arrived. "Do you want to go shopping?"

Chen Hanyue shook her head. She mainly came to see how things were sold.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly today, that was because Second Aunt remained calm, and her father and Third Uncle were standing there, otherwise they would have really been bullied.

Especially that Peng Can, he looks scary.

Not long after, Chen Jie came back with Peng Can.

"Why are you closing the stall?" Chen Jie saw that everything was put away.

"Sold out." Chen Qing said with a smile.

Anyway, today's result was smooth.

Chen Jie hesitated, "Then, let's go back."

Peng Can rubbed his hands together and walked over to Gao E. He felt that these people listened to this woman. "That wild boar thing..."

"Leave me your address and I'll send it to you later." Gao E also planned to sell it directly to Peng Can. As long as the price was right, she had other things to do.

Peng Can was embarrassed: "We have to agree on a time, otherwise I won't be able to sell that many pigs in one day even if I kill other pigs."

Gao E is also unsure when wild boars will return: "It's getting colder every day now, the difference isn't that big."

Peng Can became suspicious and felt that the wild boar was not raised by them.

But since this was my own fault, I couldn't say anything. "Actually, I don't just buy wild boars. You can also send other game to me. The price is absolutely fair."

Gao E lowered her eyes, knowing that the other party had guessed that they were not raised by her: "Okay."

"Also..." Peng Can smiled apologetically, "Would you like to sell your braised pork recipe?"

"I don't plan to sell it for the time being." Gao E did not refuse completely.

It wasn't a fixed recipe of hers, so she didn't know how to sell it for the time being.

"Okay, whenever you plan to sell it, come to me first. The price will be absolutely fair." Peng Can promised.

Gao E felt that this person was not just a fool on the surface, but also had some thoughts.

After discussing these with Peng Can, the group left together.

After the things they brought were sold, Chen Jie and Chen Hanyue could also sit in the carriage.

Chen Jie lifted the curtain and saw that they were about to leave the city before he excitedly took out the silver: "Second sister-in-law, that Peng Can is a monkey spirit. He sells it to those wealthy families for thirteen cents per pound."

Gao E was surprised for a moment, then she realized that Peng Can was not helping them, but was planning to sell it to those people at the same price in the future.

"Thirteen cents?" Chen Jie sighed. "If we sell it ourselves, we can earn one-third more."

"Then can you knock on those people's doors?" Gao E asked directly.
