Chapter 354 Creating Momentum for Pigs
"Pan Di, how did you sleep?"

How many times does your child cry in one night?

Is there enough breast milk?

After Tong Huaqiong came in, she bombarded her niece with a series of questions.

Then they kicked everyone else out of the room.

After handing over the fifty taels of silver notes that Su Chengmin had taken from the Wu family to Tong Pandi, Tong Huaqiong began to probe the source of Tong Pandi's money.

She held the flowers in her arms for a while and sang a lullaby.

Our motherland is a garden, and the flowers in the garden bloom beautifully.

"Let's row our oars, the little boat pushes through the waves, the beautiful white pagoda is reflected on the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls."

I love you when you walk alone through dark alleys, I love your unyielding spirit, I love your confrontation with despair.

Tong Huaqiong racked her brains to sing a popular song from her memory, while carefully observing Tong Pandi's reaction.

Tong Pandi's face showed maternal tenderness, and she did not show any surprise or excitement at the song sung by Tong Huaqiong.

Was it because the disguise was too good?

Not like.

Tong Huaqiong recalled the time when Tong Fusheng's family came to her house. At that time, Wang complained that Tong Huaqiong had become like Tong Pandi, and she learned from Wang that Tong Pandi's personality had changed drastically since last summer.

If Tong Pandi were from the same hometown as her, then Tong Pandi would definitely not be willing to have a child.

Tong Pandi now clearly has a feeling of having lost and then regained her love for Hua'er.

Tong Huaqiong confirmed a fact: Tong Pandi is the reborn Tong Pandi.

Upon realizing that Tong Pandi was a reincarnated person, Tong Huaqiong felt slightly disappointed, disappointed that she was still alone in this world.

Soon, Tong Huaqiong was happy for Tong Pandi. This unfortunate niece had a chance to be reborn. More importantly, after being reborn, she did not complain or accept her fate, but tried her best to change her fate from her previous life.

In this historical context, it's quite remarkable.

"Don't think about anything, just focus on your postpartum recovery. After you finish your postpartum period, we'll officially divorce. From now on, you can raise your two daughters and live a good life. There's always a way out," Tong Huaqiong said to Tong Pandi.

Tong Huaqiong wanted to find someone in the village to take care of Tong Pandi during her postpartum period.

Liu Yue'e still had to go to town to work after her "stay-at-home" period ended, and given her talkative nature, she was bound to say some hurtful things that would provoke Tong Pandi.

Tong Huaqiong had no intention of having Liu Yue'e take care of Tong Pandi during her postpartum period.

At this time, Madam Hong came to visit the flowers and learned that Tong Huaqiong wanted to find someone to take care of her during her postpartum period. She volunteered that she could do it.

Tong Huaqiong understood Hong's feelings. Rather than saying she wanted to take care of Tong Pandi during her postpartum period, it was more accurate to say that she envied Hua'er and wanted to take care of the baby herself.

Taking care of someone is hard work. If Tong Huaqiong were willing to let Hong Shi take care of Tong Pandi during her postpartum period, He Chao, the most devoted husband in Qinghe Bay, would probably quit.

So Tong Huaqiong came up with a compromise: she would have her own hired servant, Cao, who was also Chunni's mother, take care of Tong Pandi during her postpartum period, while Hong would only need to take care of the baby.

Cao readily agreed.

Taking care of Tong Pandi during her postpartum period was no difficult task for her at all; it was much easier than working in the pigsty, and she even got paid for it.

Tong Pandi stayed at Tong Huaqiong's house.

A few days later, Cai, the midwife, came to visit and said that Ma, the midwife, was being relentlessly pursued by the Xu family of Heilongtan. In the end, it was discovered that she had not only broken the leg of the Xu family's grandson, but had also killed several pregnant women and babies.

The fathers and brothers of the two women who had given birth seized on this matter and made a huge scene.

Ultimately, the midwife was sentenced to beheading and was to be executed at the end of the year.

As for the families of those who were the culprits who caused the midwife's death, several were also punished.

However, the families of the other women who died at the hands of the midwife remained silent, and their husbands' families escaped.

Just like Tong Pandi's husband's family, the Wu family, because there was no direct evidence, and Tong Pandi and her child were fine, they suffered no damage other than a loss of reputation in this matter.

Tong Pandi ate and slept well at Tong Huaqiong's house, and her complexion was even better than before she had given birth. Hua'er, on the other hand, was plump and healthy. Tong Pandi noticed that her aunt's family was very different from her previous life.

My cousin, Gu Jingzhe, did not go to Wanliu Academy to study.

My cousin's family isn't the type to be bullied at home.

My aunt ran a pastry shop and a pesticide and seed shop.

Peach Blossom was not engaged to Fan Tong.

My honest older cousin has an illegitimate child, and his wife is pregnant again.

What surprised her most was that Man'er, a girl, was actually attending a private school.

She suspected that her aunt's whole family had been reborn, but after observing for a period of time, she found that this was not the case.

However, Tong Pandi was genuinely happy that his aunt's family was living such a vibrant life.

Just as Tong Pandi was about to finish her postpartum confinement, Tong Huaqiong's pigsty welcomed a joyous occasion: the old sow gave birth to twelve piglets, and the seventeen pigs raised in the spring were ready to be sold.

Tong Huaqiong is busy promoting her own pigs.

Of the seventeen pigs, one was kept for the family to eat during the Spring Festival, and the rest were all sold.

Although the slaughter of a pig before the Mid-Autumn Festival sparked a discussion about the aroma of pork, the discussion only circulated in a small circle. Most people in Yanguan Town and even Pingchuan County still had the impression that pork had a strong, unpleasant smell.

Tong Huaqiong would not rashly slaughter all sixteen pigs before everyone accepted her pork.

She doesn't plan to open a pork shop yet, as that would take too much time. She just needs to run the pig farm well and supply the pigs to the pork shops in Ningcheng.

After all, it's impossible for anyone to monopolize all businesses.

How to get butchers to buy her pigs is the problem she needs to consider at this stage.

But this is no problem for Tong Huaqiong. It's just a matter of marketing and creating hype.
She believes in the quality of her pork and that once it reaches the dining table, it will surely change diners' perceptions of pork, thus opening up sales channels for her pig farm.

The cost of raising pigs raised on their own with concentrated feed is definitely higher than that of raising pigs from other farms, so the price of pork will naturally be higher, but not so high that the general public cannot afford to eat meat.

Pork shops are very cost-conscious, and relying solely on Tong Huaqiong's persuasion might not be enough to convince people to buy her live pigs.

She couldn't very well slaughter the pig and invite each of the pork stall owners to eat pork, could she?

That's not realistic.

If she does that, will she still be able to sell her pigs for money this year?

The only way is to learn from the marketing methods of the first batch of pastries and sell pork to wealthy or well-off families. Those families are picky eaters and will definitely ask around for delicious pork.

This inquiry caught the attention of the pork shop owner, and business started coming in.

She doesn't even need to leave her house; people come to buy her things.

She wasn't worried about Yanguan Town. With Boss Qian acting as a mouthpiece, her pigs could take over the pork shops in Yanguan Town.

She is now targeting the markets in Pingchuan County and the surrounding towns and villages of Yanguan Town.

Having figured out the strategy, Tong Huaqiong had Gu Dahan arrange for a large, fat pig to be slaughtered.

This time, instead of hiring Cao's husband, Tian Fugui, to slaughter the pig, she hired a pig butcher from the next village.

After slaughtering the pig, Tong Huaqiong personally led Gu Dahan and the hired worker Er Gouzi to Pingchuan County.

First, he went to Magistrate Liu's house to deliver pork to Madam Han.

Then they knocked on the doors of wealthy families in Pingchuan County.

Upon hearing that it was a pork seller, the stewards were about to close the gate, but when they heard that the pork was being delivered by Lord Suifeng, they bought a few pounds out of politeness.

Tong Huaqiong and her team spent most of the day successfully selling a pig.

When the wealthy villagers learned that Lady Suifeng was personally leading a group to forcefully sell pork, they couldn't help but curse her behind her back, saying that she was greedy and would rather ruin her reputation than not buy and sell.

Once the cooked pork was served, people started asking how much pork Tong Huaqiong's family sold.
