After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Half an hour passed quickly, and the aroma in the pot became stronger and stronger, making people salivate.

Old man Zhang came over with a cane, and Zhang Hulan hurried forward to help him. "Why are you here?"

Wang said, "Needless to say? He must have come here by smelling the scent."

Old man Zhang smiled and said, "That's right, I said I came here because of the smell. I could smell it from far away, and I thought you must be stewing something again."

Zhang Xiaobing ran forward and said excitedly, "Grandpa, my aunt bought a big pig's head and is making braised meat."

Old Man Zhang asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to wait a little longer? Why are you doing it now?"

Zhang Hulan said, "I'll test the taste first. I'll start cooking after my elder brother and the others have harvested the millet in the fields."

After simmering it for a while, Zhang Hulan used chopsticks to poke the pig's head to see if it was cooked. With a little pressure, it went in, and it was ready to be removed from the pot.

Zhang Xiaobing and Zhang Xinyue looked at it eagerly, and Zhang Hulan cut a little with a knife and stuffed it into their mouths.

Zhang Xiaobing chewed it twice and swallowed it, then licked his lips and said, "Auntie, this braised meat is so delicious!"

Zhang Xin ate the braised meat and smiled, "Mom, it's delicious!"

Zhang Hulan cut some more and put it in a bowl, then handed it to Wang, "Mom, you all have a try."

Several children gathered around Wang, all looking up at the bowl in her hand.

Wang was smiling. She liked the feeling of being surrounded by children.

Wang gave some meat to Zhang Xinyao and the others. After tasting it, the children all said it was delicious.

Wang stuffed another piece into Old Man Zhang's mouth. After tasting it, Old Man Zhang nodded and said it was delicious and tasted good.

Zhang Hulan picked up the pig's head meat. The pig's head meat was bright red in color and looked very appetizing.

She also tried a piece herself and it tasted pretty good. It just didn't have any chili. If it had a little more chili, it would have been perfect.

Wang said, "Daniel, where did you learn this? I've never heard of stewing meat like this."

Zhang Hulan said, "Mom, this isn't called stewing, it's called braising."

"Then how do you make this braised meat?"

Zhang Hulan said casually, "I've known how to cook for a long time, but the Chen family just didn't have meat for me to cook."

"It's a good thing we didn't do it, otherwise the Chen family would have gotten a bargain." Wang asked, "Dani'er, how much does this braised meat sell for per pound? How much can you make from a pig's head?"

"This pig's head is cheap, only fifty coins. The meat that was removed weighs about six or seven pounds. Adding the marinade and labor, the cost is fifteen coins per pound."

Zhang Hulan thought for a moment before saying, "This braised meat should sell for forty or fifty coins per pound, but I plan to sell it directly to the restaurant, so it should be cheaper. I'll sell it for thirty to thirty-five coins per pound."

Wang said, "The restaurant makes so little money, are they willing to do that?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Mom, the restaurant can't possibly sell by the kilogram, right? They only make half a kilogram of meat per plate at most, and if they sell it for thirty or forty, or forty or fifty wen, the restaurant will at least double the profit."

"Besides, I sell it to them already cooked. All they need to do is cut it up and put it on a plate. They don't even need to heat it up. They're definitely happy to make the money."

"Let's take a step back and say, 'It doesn't matter if they don't want it. At worst, I can just set up a stall and sell it myself. It's just a little more tiring, but I can still make more money.'"

Wang asked, "Can you eat this meat cold? Won't it give you diarrhea?"

"No, this meat is meant to be eaten cold."

Wang said, "I think it's better to eat it hot. If someone gets diarrhea after eating it, be careful that they will cause trouble for you."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine. They can also heat it up before eating. It's up to the customer to choose."

At this time, Old Man Zhang said, "Dani'er, if your business becomes successful, you won't be able to handle it alone, right?"

Zhang Hulan nodded. "I'm too busy to handle it. So I'll wait until my elder brother and the others have harvested the grain, and then ask them to help me. I'll pay them for their work then."

Wang said, "Why would I ask for money for helping out as a family member? Your father and I don't have much to do anyway, so we'll help you from now on."

Zhang Hulan hugged Wang and said coquettishly, "Oh, I knew that mother was the best to me!"

Wang pushed Zhang Hulan away and said, "How old are you? You're still acting like a spoiled child? I never saw you act like a spoiled child like this before when you were a child."

Zhang Hulan laughed and said, "Mom, I asked my eldest brother and the others to help me so that he could make some money. I can't make a fortune and live a luxurious life while my eldest brother and Hu Bing have to eat coarse food."

Mrs. Wang and Old Man Zhang both looked at Zhang Hulan with complicated and gratified expressions. Old Man Zhang sighed, "Ah..., you are so thoughtful!"

Wang also sighed, "You girl..."

"Alright, Mom and Dad, we're all family, and we should help each other. Seeing how harmonious we are as brothers and sisters, aren't you happy?"

"Happy, happy..." Wang took Zhang Hulan's hand and patted it gently, saying, "If you three sisters can get along, your father and I will naturally be happy. Even if you die one day, we can rest in peace without worrying about anyone. I just don't know if the second sister and her husband have really changed now..."

Zhang Hulan said, "Mom, Hu Bing is actually quite good. It's just that you and Dad spoiled him too much when he was little, thinking of and arranging everything for him. That's why he hasn't grown up even at his age and is like a child."

"As for Chunhua, she's not bad. Although she used to take everything to her parents' house, that was because she was instigated by them. Now, she has changed a lot after seeing the truth."

"Chunhua is also good to Hubing, and she's also good to Xiaobing. That's enough. As long as their little family can live a peaceful and stable life, you and Dad don't have to worry about anything."

"As for your parents' retirement, you don't have to worry about it at all. As long as I'm here, you and Dad won't starve."

Old Man Zhang said, "We don't want you to support us in our old age. Why did I raise my eldest and second sons? Isn't it so that they can support me in my old age? What elderly person would let their daughters support them in their old age? Unless they have no sons. If they dare to say they won't support their sons in their old age, I will break their legs."

"Oh, Dad... I didn't say that Big Brother and Hu Bing wouldn't support you. What I meant was that you and Mom can relax with me around. With me here, I can help out a little, and Big Brother and Hu Bing can relax a little. Big Brother and Hu Bing aren't the kind of people who wouldn't support their parents."

Wang said, "Change your bad temper. You're already this old, but you still have such a bad temper."

Wang glared at Old Man Zhang, and he stopped talking.
