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

Xu Hu said, "How about this, Lao Huang, Lao Dong and I will go. It's not very convenient for Lao Luo and Lao Yuan to move things."

Zhang Hulan nodded. "Okay. How much monthly salary do you think would be appropriate?"

Huang Zhong said, "Just give it as you see fit."

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Huang, I invited people from your villages to come and reclaim the wasteland because I heard from County Magistrate Wu that your villages were severely affected by the disaster. I want you to come and work so that you can earn money and have something to eat.

There are too many people, and the wages are too high, which I can't afford. But you are different. If you help me with business matters in the future, the wages will definitely be different.

How about this? My brother and my younger brother will get the same salary as the village head's son, nine hundred coins a month. What do you think, Uncle Huang?"

Huang Zhong said, "Such a high salary? A few of us old bones are not worth such a high salary."

"Uncle Huang, what you said is not right. As the saying goes, old ginger is spicy and aged wine is fragrant. You uncles are quite capable."

Zhang Hulan then said to Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing with a smile, "Brother, Hubing, you must learn from these uncles in the future. It would be best if you could learn all their skills."

Huang Zhong laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha... you girl, so you want to drain us old guys out of our money... No problem, as long as they are willing to learn, we will teach them everything."

Zhang Hujun scratched his head and laughed foolishly. Zhang Hubing immediately toasted Huang Zhong and the others, "Of course I'm willing to learn. Uncles, please don't hide your knowledge from me in the future."

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang Hulan, Zhang Hujun, and Zhang Hubing, then said to Old Man Zhang, "It's said that each of the nine sons of a dragon is unique. Brother Zhang's three children also have their own strengths."

Xu Hu said: "The Tiger Army is honest, the Tiger Soldiers are smart, and the eldest niece... is generous. Brother Zhang's three children are all very good."

Old Man Zhang was very happy to be praised for his children. He also felt that his three children were very good. Although Zhang Hubing had been a bit of a jerk in the past, he was also doing well now.

Huang Zhong then said, "The Tiger Army will follow me from now on."

Dong Jianyong said, "Tiger soldiers, follow me."

Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing both quickly agreed.

Zhang Hulan's eyes turned and she said, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Luo, and Uncle Yuan, how about you three help take care of my three children?"

Zhang Hulan pointed at Zhang Xiaojun, Zhang Xiaobing, and Shanzi and said, "Those three are the ones."

Xu Hu asked, "You mean you want us to teach them martial arts?"

Zhang Hulan nodded. "Yes. I wonder if you guys would be willing to do that, Uncle Xu?"

"That's fine. If they want to learn, we'll teach them."

Zhang Xiaobing said, "Aunt, we won't study anymore. Will we practice martial arts instead?"

"Why don't you study? You should study as well as learn martial arts."

Zhang Hulan said, "Studying is important, but practicing martial arts is also important. You can't just be a weak scholar. I hope that in the future, each of you will be able to wield a pen to bring peace to the world and to ride a horse to determine the fate of the world."

Although my expectations may be a bit high, you must work hard to learn whether it is studying or practicing martial arts.

The world cannot be peaceful forever, and war may break out again at any time.

It's not a big deal for people your grandfather and his generation. But you're all still young, and you might encounter them, so you need to be able to protect yourself. When the country needs you, you'll be able to pick up a sword, go to the battlefield, and kill the enemy."

When the five veterans heard Zhang Hulan's words, their eyes lit up.

"What a niece! She's capable of both peace and destiny with her pen and her determination on horseback. She's truly a woman of great courage." Huang Zhong sighed, then added, "What a shame! My niece isn't a man..."

Finally, Xu Hu and the others promised to teach Zhang Xiaobing and the other two martial arts in the future. None of them expected that the decision made during a simple meal today would eventually cultivate three talents for Yongning.

The next day, Huang Zhong, Xu Hu, and Dong Jianyong accompanied Zhang Hujun and the others to deliver the goods. Zhao Cheng initially thought Zhang Hulan had given up on him, but after Zhang Hulan explained the situation, she told him to work hard and continue as long as he wanted.

……

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of winter.

After Huang Zhong and his team finished delivering the goods every day, they spent the remaining time teaching Zhang Xiaojun and the other two the basic skills and martial arts.

The weather is very cold now, and it is time to start curing bacon and making sausages.

Zhang Hulan asked Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing to find out where to buy live pigs, and then bought more than a dozen live pigs and dozens of kilograms of salt.

Wang Shi no longer had to say anything about what Zhang Hulan was going to do now. They would just help their daughter with whatever she wanted to do.

Seeing so many pigs, the children in the family were extremely excited. They all surrounded the butcher and watched him kill the pigs.

Zhang Hulan's yard was too busy, so they took the pig to the open space at the entrance of the village to kill it.

Many villagers were watching, especially the children in the village, their eyes were full of envy.

Zhang Hulan was worried that Zhang Xinyue would be scared after watching it, so she said, "Yueyue, don't watch it, or you'll have a nightmare at night."

Zhang Xinyue raised her chin and said, "I'm not afraid."

Zhang Hulan is not too pampered when taking care of her child. If the child says she is not afraid, then let her watch. Only when the child experiences something herself will she understand.

Wang found a number of large wooden basins, put water in them, added salt and stirred it.

The butchers were a father and his son. The young butcher stabbed the pig's neck with a knife, and it was like a white knife going in and a red knife coming out.

The moment the butcher knife was pulled out, pig blood gushed out.

Wang quickly collected the blood in a wooden basin and stirred it with her hands, mixing the pig's blood and salt water evenly.

After a pig is slaughtered, it is dragged aside to be shaved.

Two earthen stoves were dug in the ground, and two large iron pots were placed on them to boil water. It was very busy today, so Zhang Hulanduo also called a few couples to help.

Old Man Zhang and Luo Changqi poured boiling hot water on the pig, and then quickly scraped the pig's hair with a scraper.

After the pig hair is shaved, the old butcher asks the others to put the pig on a bench and scrape the pig skin back and forth with a knife several times to remove all the dirt on the skin.

Then they cut off the pig's head, and then had someone hang the beheaded pig upside down and start gutting it.

Clean the inside of the pig's chest cavity with water, then cut the pig in half and place it on the door panel.

The pig's feet are cut off first, and then the old butcher prepares to start cutting the pork into pieces.

Zhang Hulan said to the old butcher, "Master, please help me remove the ribs. And please cut the meat into small pieces about one pound each."

The old butcher asked, "Strips or chunks?"

"It's up to you, Master. Either strips or chunks are fine."

The old butcher nodded and began to work. He had been butchering pigs all his life, so his accuracy was impeccable.

After he removed the ribs, he cut the pork into pieces with a few cuts and put them into a basket.

Each piece weighs about one jin, with a difference of less than one or two liang.
