Zhang Hulan agreed with Manager Hao to deliver the goods before noon, and to deliver the same quantity, and then left Manfulou with Ye Hongyun.

After leaving Manfulou, Zhang Hulan took Zhang Hujun to buy a pig's head. After letting Zhang Hujun know the location and price, Zhang Hulan planned to leave these matters to Zhang Hujun in the future.

After buying the pig's head, Zhang Hulan said to Zhang Hujun, "Brother, you go back first. When you get back, clean the pig's head and large intestines like you did yesterday."

Zhang Hujun asked, "So when are you going back? I'll pick you up."

"Don't worry about it, I'll go back by myself in a while."

Ye Hongyun said, "The master is not in the county government office today. Why don't you come and teach him when he is here?"

Zhang Hulan said, "No need. I'll teach Madam first, and then Madam can teach Sir Wu how to do it herself."

"That's fine." Ye Hongyun said to Zhang Hujun, "You go back first. I'll arrange for someone to take her back later."

The county magistrate's wife spoke, and Zhang Hujun had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Zhang Hulan waved her hand and said, "Go back, and drive slowly."

Zhang Hujun drove the donkey cart back, and Zhang Hulan followed Ye Hongyun to the county government office again.

Ye Hongyun had the servants serve tea and snacks. Zhang Hulan, hoping to finish the job quickly and return home soon, said, "Madam, shall we begin now?"

"Okay, let's get started." Ye Hongyun stood up and asked, "How do we do this?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Madam, please sit down and watch me demonstrate it to you first, and then you can follow me later."

"Okay, okay!" Ye Hongyun sat down again.

Zhang Hulan started moving. She jumped a few times on the spot and then started moving.

First, lift your left leg and reach your hands under your hips to clap. Then switch to your right leg, cross your legs and do ten reps each.

Next is the knee lift and palm press, also ten times on each side, and then move on to the next set of movements...

Zhang Hulan performed the twenty-movement set of exercises she knew, and by the time she finished, she was sweating and panting.

Ye Hongyun was curious and said, "Come and drink some water, you look so tired..."

Zhang Hulan gulped down a cup of tea, wiped her mouth and said, "You have to be tired and sweaty, that's the only way to see the effect."

Ye Hongyun asked in a low voice: "Is this really effective?"

Zhang Hulan said, "I can't guarantee this completely, because everyone's body constitution is different. But it should work for most people."

Ye Hongyun whispered again, "If it works, then I'll do it too. Actually, I have a lot of flesh on my body, but it's just not noticeable."

Zhang Hulan nodded. "Then Madam and Master can do it together. It should be effective. But we have to persist for a month to see the results."

"Okay, then I'll do it together with the master." Ye Hongyun stood up and prepared to start learning with Zhang Hulan.

Zhang Hulan looked at the robe Ye Hongyun was wearing and said, "Madam, you'd better change your clothes. A skirt like mine or just an undershirt and pants will be fine."

Zhang Hulan was not wearing a long skirt. Rural women usually wore trousers and a very short skirt on top, a bit like a pleated skirt. This made it more convenient for them to work.

Ye Hongyun asked the maid to guard the door. She went into the house, took off her outer robe, and put on her inner clothes and trousers.

Zhang Hulan stood opposite Ye Hongyun and repeated the previous action.

Zhang Hulan did a move, and Ye Hongyun imitated it. However, after doing only two moves, Ye Hongyun gasped and said he couldn't do it anymore.

Zhang Hulan had no choice but to stop and let Ye Hongyun rest for a while before continuing.

"Madam, you lack exercise. People need to exercise more. Life depends on exercise. More exercise can increase a person's resistance, which will reduce illness and keep you healthy."

After a short rest, Zhang Hulan asked Ye Hongyun to continue following her.

"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, three, two, three, four, one more time..."

……

In Daping Village, Zhang Hujun returned home. Mrs. Wang was surprised and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

Zhang Hujun replied with a smile: "The braised meat is all sold out, so we came back early."

Zhang Hubing asked, "Why is braised pork so popular?"

"A restaurant bought all of my braised meat, and I'll have to deliver it to the restaurant every day. I've agreed with the restaurant owner that we'll have a long-term partnership, and I'll sell all of my braised meat to the restaurant."

Xiang Chunhua asked, "How much did it cost per pound?"

Zhang Hujun replied, "I don't know the exact price per jin. Pig heads, pig ears, and pig tongues are all sold at different prices. My sister sells them separately. But the braised meat I brought today sold for over two taels of silver."

"Oh my god... you sold so many?" Xiang Chunhua widened her eyes.

Zhang Xiaobing exclaimed, "Wow, Auntie earns more than two taels of silver a day. Isn't Auntie going to be rich?"

Wang hit Zhang Xiaobing and said, "Do you think your aunt doesn't need any capital? Does she not need any money to buy the pig's head? Does she not need any money to buy the marinade? Does your eldest aunt ask your parents to work for her without any wages?"

Wang said this, but she was also happy in her heart. She could earn more than two taels of silver a day, and after deducting the cost, she could still earn more than one tael.

If you can earn more than one or two taels of silver a day, you can earn thirty or forty taels of silver a month.

Wang's heart started pounding when she thought about it.

Zhang Xinyue went to the gate and looked around, but didn't see her mother, so she asked, "Uncle, where is my mother?"

"Yes, where is Danier? Why can't I see her?" Wang also went to the gate of the courtyard and looked around.

Zhang Hujun said, "My eldest sister was left behind by the county magistrate's wife. She said she would be back soon."

Wang asked nervously, "What does the county magistrate's wife want from Danier?"

"Mom, don't worry. My eldest sister and the county magistrate's wife seem to have a good relationship. My eldest sister even brought her some braised meat this morning, and then she accompanied my eldest sister to the restaurant to discuss business."

Xiang Chunhua exclaimed in surprise again: "Brother, you said that my sister and the county magistrate's wife have a good relationship?"

Zhang Hujun nodded. "It looks pretty good."

"Mom..., if Big Sister becomes close to the County Magistrate's wife, who will dare to mess with Big Sister in the future? Big Sister will be able to walk around the county with impunity from now on."

Wang said, "Do you think the county magistrate's wife's connections are that easy to pull? Don't say anything out there. Don't cause trouble for your eldest sister, okay?"

"Oh, mother, I know. I won't tell anyone."

Zhang Hujun said, "Mom, let's clean the pig's head and offal first. We can't delay Damei's business."

"Yes, yes, let's get to work first." Wang arranged for several people to work.

Xiang Chunhua suddenly spoke up again: "Mom, what should we do with this pig intestine? My eldest sister washed it yesterday, and I'm afraid it's not clean enough."

Wang said, "It's okay, I'll wash your large intestine."

Wang then instructed Li, "Eldest wife, you better go and boil some water."

"Okay, mother!"

"Xiaojun, take Xiaobing Xinyao and the others to pluck the pig hair."

"Okay, grandma!"

Everyone started to move, and they were more motivated than yesterday.

Xiang Chunhua and Zhang Hubing, in particular, were very active in their work.

During this period, the couple also noticed that although Zhang Hulan was harsh in her words, she was very nice to Zhang Xiaobing and them. If Zhang Hulan made money, she would definitely not treat them badly.
