Li Shanghai was so happy that he was unconsciously assimilated by Hu Zi. The first thing he said was, "Hahaha!"

"Brother Yuan, I'm telling you, we sold quite a bit on the black market today. The main reason is that these braised pig offal are very popular with the workers at the machinery factory. A group of them showed up at noon and bought up all the remaining ones we had."

Chen Yuan nodded and replied, "This machinery factory requires a lot of physical labor, and the monthly wages are higher than other factories. They are willing to spend money, so it's a good thing to be able to sell the braised pork offal to them."

Li Shanghai was thinking about tomorrow's shipment, so he asked, "Are we going to increase the quantity tomorrow?"

Today the meat processing plant had 300 kilograms of pork offal, but Li Shanghai only took 200 kilograms, leaving some empty.

Chen Yuan waved his hand and directly rejected the proposal.

"Don't be too greedy. Two hundred kilograms is not a small amount. This is just for fun. We may have to reduce the amount in the future."

After a pause, Chen Yuan, worried about their eroded self-confidence, consoled them, "It depends on the specific situation. If the weather is good and it's a holiday, we'll increase the dosage. If the weather is bad, we'll reduce it."

"It's always right to adapt to changing circumstances."

Chen Yuan was not worried about others selling braised pig offal. This thing was difficult to handle, and the taste of the braised pork offal might not be as good as his.

The most important thing is that they have almost monopolized all the pig offal from the largest meat processing plant nearby, and no one else can get much.

Li Shanghai felt that Chen Yuan's analysis made sense, and he couldn't help but sigh again. Fortunately, he had Chen Yuan, otherwise he and Hu Zi would get as much as the meat processing factory had tomorrow if they acted impulsively.

"Okay, we'll listen to you."

Thinking that they would have to work overtime at the dilapidated temple in the evening, the three of them decided to take a break at this moment.

If Li Shanghai went home, it would take some time to go back and forth, so Hu Zi simply took him home. After all, he was still a bachelor now.

They rested until dark and then gathered at Chen Yuan's house.

These bricks were difficult to transport, and I had to transport them back and forth countless times before I could get enough.

Chen Yuan had dug up the loess from the hillside before. Mixing it with water made it into yellow mud, which was just right for applying between the bricks.

With the help of moonlight and torches, the three of them set up the stove in the backyard of the dilapidated temple.

Chen Yuan also used charcoal to heat the yellow mud, so that it could be done faster.

Everything is ready, just waiting to start work tomorrow morning.

……

Chen Yuan and Hu Zi rode their bicycles back to Chenjia Village in the dark.

The next day, Chen Yuan got up in the morning, picked up two buckets of water on a shoulder pole, and carried them directly to the dilapidated temple.

It is not possible to store water in water tanks in the dilapidated temple now, as the water will freeze outside when it gets cold.

Not long after he arrived at the dilapidated temple, Hu Zi and Li Shanghai came back from the water with a 200-pound pig.

Li Shanghai looked at the two buckets of water that Chen Yuan had brought and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan, you're really thoughtful. We didn't realize yesterday that there was no water in this dilapidated temple and we couldn't wash the pig's offal."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Hu Zi.

"Your family used to make a lot of wine vats, right? Find a big one and bring it over to store the water."

After a pause, Chen Yuan thought about the need to make soybean paste at home, and said, "Sell me another one. Your sister-in-law needs to make soybean paste. This one doesn't need to be too big."

Hu Zi didn't even think about it and replied, "No money, I have plenty of that stuff at home."

Their ancestors were winemakers. Not only is the yard large, but the house is also one of the few brick houses in the village.

Those jars were the few properties left to Hu Zi by his ancestors.

Hu Zi was determined not to take the money, so Chen Yuan didn't bother to be polite with him anymore.

When the soybean paste is ready, just give a jar to Hu Zi.

While Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai were dealing with the pig offal, Hu Zi went to fetch water and brought back a lot of firewood.

Three large iron pots worked at the same time, and soon the first pot of braised pork offal was ready.

There were forests all around here, so the bicycles couldn't move. Hu Zi and Li Shanghai had one person carry the bucket and the other carry the bicycle.

When they got to the roadside, Huzi helped Li Shanghai tie up the two buckets. "Brother Hai, please ride slower. I'll be there with the second pot later!"

Li Shanghai raised his hand, "OK!"

"Go back and help Brother Yuan. He can't handle it alone."

Working in the dilapidated temple is much more convenient than working at home, and the second pot was braised quickly.

Chen Yuan carried two iron buckets and Hu Zi carried a bicycle and walked to the roadside together. After loading the bicycle, Hu Zi left in a flash.

Chen Yuan was not idle either. He had to go back to clean up the battlefield.

After the three iron pots were cleaned, they were hidden along with the seasonings in the space specially left behind the stove and then covered with hay.

Chen Yuan also spread some hay on the ground. If someone really came, at first glance it would look like a temporary residence for some "vagrant", and they would not dare to come in.

After cleaning the dilapidated temple, Chen Yuan went to the brick kiln again.

At that time, donkeys, cows, and horses were the main labor force and were more valuable than humans.

Chen Yuan was also afraid that the donkey would be too tired, so he offered to pull only two carts a day and generously paid for the "car rental".

For several days in a row, Chen Yuan came out of the dilapidated temple and went to the brick kiln to pull bricks.

That day, Li Shanghai and Hu Zi came back from the county and went directly to Chen Yuan's house.

Chen Yuan didn't come back with the bricks, so they waited at the door for a while.

After waiting for Chen Yuan to return the donkey cart, Li Shanghai took out a cloth bag from his arms.

"Brother Yuan, here's all the money we made from selling this week."

Chen Yuan took it and counted it. They sold 520 yuan worth of braised pork offal alone.

After deducting the cost of one hundred and ten yuan, the net amount left is four hundred and ten yuan.

Chen Yuan was given 205 yuan, which he counted and put in his pocket.

Hu Zi also received 82 yuan. He planned to save this money because when he has children in the future, he will have more places to spend money.

He is not as smart as Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai. If one day Chen Yuan and Li Shanghai quit this business, he will have money in his hands and will not have to worry about living a hard life like before.

Chen Yuan and his team's braised pork offal are quite famous in the county.

There are three factories near the black market. Before going to work in the morning, workers come to buy some braised pork offal to eat as a dish at noon.

I eat radishes and potatoes from the factory every day, and occasionally treat myself to a meal, which only costs 40 cents.

Shadan also bought some braised pork offal on the black market and gave it to Zhang Hao.

"Boss, try this braised pig offal. I waited in line for half a day to buy it."

Zhang Hao's mouth was watering at the aroma of the braised pork offal. He didn't even bother to use chopsticks and just reached out to grab a piece.

"Hmm, it smells so good?"

Shadan came closer and said with a smile: "Li Shanghai is quite a talent. He can even make this thing!"

Zhang Hao's hand holding the braised pork offal suddenly paused, "You said this was sold by Li Shanghai?"

Shadan nodded, a little confused.

"What's wrong, boss?"

A bold idea emerged from Li Shanghai's mind. "What if we get the recipe from him? My mom works at a meat processing plant. Can't we just use these pig offal?"

Shadan exclaimed, "Boss is awesome!"
