Chapter Forty-Nine: The Chef of the Zhou Family

Zhou Guoqiang went to the county seat again and bought a big scale and a small scale. The large ones are kept for collecting pigs, and the small ones are kept for selling pork.

When everything was ready, Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen began to get busy.

Zhou Guoqiang rode his tricycle around the village, looking for anyone who wanted to sell pigs.

He was originally killing pigs for people, and whoever grows up to be able to sell his heart knows how to sell, and rarely runs empty legs. He gave him cash, which was more fair than the pig dealer's scale, so that anyone who had pigs to sell was happy to sell to him.

After Zhou Guoqiang stepped on a tricycle and dragged the pig home, he started his old job: killing pigs.

When it's time for the market, the pork is sold at the market.

Zhou Xiaoyun found a piece of cardboard and wrote with a brush the words "pork is the best and the price is the lowest", and inserted the sign on the head of the tricycle. It was very unusual for people to see such a signboard, and it attracted a lot of business for Zhou Guoqiang.

There are some scattered pork sellers in the bazaar, and there are very few stalls like Zhou Guoqiang's long-term stalls. Zhou Guoqiang thought that he would rather make less money than have a good reputation when he first started business, so he deliberately lowered the price a little. And the weigher head is high, and it is never short of two catties, so that the people who have bought it in the neighborhood are satisfied, and they all say that Zhou Guoqiang is very kind in business.

People who heard about it also came to his stall to buy meat, and it wasn't long before his pork stall became the best business in the bazaar due to its low price.

Zhao Yuzhen came to take care of the business with Zhou Guoqiang every time she came to the fair, so she naturally took Xiaobao and Erya with her, and took care of the children while doing business.

At that time, the pigs of the family were probably sold after more than 100 catties, and then the visceral fur and the like were removed, a pig was only a few dozen catties of meat, and basically the meat could be sold almost every episode.

Later, there were people from this village who went to Zhou Guoqiang's house to buy meat whenever guests came to the house, and then people from neighboring villages began to find Zhou Guoqiang's house to buy meat. Even if you don't have a fair, you can sell some pork in one day. Zhou Guoqiang was worried that the pork would not be sold and would spoil after a long time, which was completely unnecessary.

After going back and forth, Zhou Guoqiang's pork selling business was finally on track.

A pound of meat can earn a dime or two, and dozens of pounds of meat can earn at least a few dollars after being sold. In addition, pigs are full of treasures, pig liver, pig loin, pig blood, pork belly, and pig intestines can be sold for money, and it can be seen from the increasingly flying corners of Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen's mouths that the income is very satisfying.

At night, there were small half boxes in the wooden box containing the money, and Zhao Yuzhen counted the money happily. But there are too many dimes and two dimes, and they will be counted out of order after a while.

Zhou Xiaoyun volunteered to come over to help, she sorted out the one corner into a stack, two corners, five corners, one piece, two pieces, and five pieces of the same way, and after a while, the total number in the cash box was calculated: thirty-three yuan and four corners.

In addition to the capital, you can earn nearly ten yuan in a market, which is a number that Zhao Yuzhen couldn't think of before, and Zhao Yuzhen's hands trembled a little while counting the money.

About a month later, Zhou Guoqiang returned the 200 yuan to Zhou Fang.

In this way, the family will be able to build a house in less than a year, Zhao Yuzhen thought beautifully. Thinking of the beautiful prospects, Zhao Yuzhen's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

As a result, life at home has changed, and this change has occurred first at the dinner table.

Zhao Yuzhen was busy and sometimes didn't care about cooking, so Zhou Xiaoyun began to cook some simple dinners. Zhao Yuzhen was worried about how such a young child could cook, but later saw that Zhou Xiaoyun commanded Dabao to cook by himself, and the rice he made tasted very good, so he was relieved. Later, it evolved into three meals a day, and most of them were done by Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun was very good at cooking in his previous life, and then again, whoever has been a family "cook" for seven or eight years will not be bad at cooking. Besides, the person in the family is very picky about eating, and Zhou Xiaoyun's progress in cooking skills is also due to her ex-husband's picking.

Since Zhou Xiaoyun cooked, Xiaobao was the happiest.

Pork is sold to make money, and it is impossible to eat it all the time, but you can always eat some leftover pork belly every once in a while. Zhou Xiaoyun used some soy sauce to burn the pork belly red, and his mouth was full of oil when he bit down, and Xiaobao couldn't eat a few large pieces if he didn't like meat.

Usually, if the meat is sold out, there will always be some big bones left, Zhou Xiaoyun takes some of these bones and puts them in a pot to boil a thick bone broth, which is used to cook vegetables and salty porridge.

Xiaobao eats relatively little and refuses to eat, but when she sees her sister using bone broth and some cabbage to make salted rice porridge, she can't help but have a great appetite and can eat two bowls.

Xiaobao's thin arm began to have some meat, which made Zhou Xiaoyun happy. Bone broth has a good effect on calcium supplementation, which is much stronger than drinking any oral liquid. Xiaobao's body is weak, and drinking more can also enhance resistance.

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't bother to let Xiaobao eat more, and deliberately made some meals that suited Xiaobao's appetite. Seeing that Xiaobao's food was getting bigger and bigger, and his body was becoming stronger, Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't be happier.

Even Zhou Xiaoyun himself has gained a lot of weight, and his originally somewhat withered yellow skin has become a lot more ruddy, and he no longer looks shriveled. Sure enough, eating more nutritious is different!

In addition to taking the children to do housework every day, Zhao Yuzhen also has to go to the market with her husband to sell meat, and she is very busy inside and out. With Zhou Xiaoyun's right-hand man to help cook, the burden is a lot lighter. Zhao Yuzhen likes to be proud in her heart, and she praises her daughter whenever she meets people.

Zhou Xiaoyun ran away as soon as he heard Zhao Yuzhen mention the words "my eldest girl......", embarrassed. If you want to praise, you have to wait for others to praise, how can anyone boast of their own family, it is strange that people don't laugh behind their backs.

However, his mother's praise at least shows that his status in his mother's mind has been improved, and Zhou Xiaoyun is very relieved to think of this. What child doesn't want to be loved, cared for, and praised by their parents?
