Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"That's right!"

A middle-aged man carrying a hoe spoke up, "It's still incredibly hot today! Look at this blazing sun! Meat will spoil in a couple of days!"

"By then, let alone selling them, no one will want them even if you give them away!"

These words immediately jolted the villagers, who were still calculating money with their eyes shining, back to reality.

"What should we do then?"

"We can't exactly take them to town to sell individually, can we? Who has the time for that?"

"Even if you have the time, have you ever sold meat? Do you know how to hawk your wares? Do you know how to haggle?"

The people spoke softer and softer, and finally all looked at Fang Wei once again.

People in their village also sell some wild game, but those are small businesses. Fang Wei is the only one in the entire village who has ever sold something worth several hundred yuan.

"..."

Fang Wei looked at the pairs of eyes staring at him and remained silent for a few seconds in a strange manner.

He really didn't expect that in just over half a month, he would have completely changed in the eyes of these people and become a reliable person.

However, Fang Wei originally planned to sell the meat himself, as the small restaurants in town simply couldn't handle the volume of it.

This is over a thousand pounds of meat. Even if Wang Hongzhong and his brothers worked together, they probably couldn't eat half of it.

"Even the biggest eater couldn't finish that much meat at those restaurants in town."

Fang Wei cut to the chase, saying slowly, "This isn't just a few baskets of river shrimp that you can just throw onto a truck and haul away."

"How about this, I'll go to town first to inquire about the situation and see if there's a big boss who can take over the business all at once."

"If we can't sell the meat in town, then we'll have to take it to the county town and try to find a way to sell it."

Village Chief Zhou glanced at Fang Wei, thinking that the kid must have already made up his mind, but he didn't expose him, he just nodded.

"Okay, Dawei, go and find out what you find and tell the village."

When the meeting ended, the villagers were still chattering and calculating.

When Fang Wei rode the village chief's old bicycle home, Wu Shaoli was hanging up the clothes she had just washed in the yard.

She rubbed his sweatshirt, stained with pig's blood, several times with wood ash, wrung it out, and hung it on a bamboo pole, water droplets dripping down the hem.

"Shao Li, I have to go to town to take care of something."

Hearing Fang Wei's words, Wu Shaoli turned to look at him: "Why are we going to town again?"

"It's been decided in a meeting that all that pork will be sold. I'll go and find out more."

Wu Shaoli didn't say anything more, and pulled out a shirt and a pair of dark gray pants.

She stood in front of Fang Wei, reached out and turned up the collar of his shirt, buttoning each button to its buttonhole, her fingertips brushing against Fang Wei's chest.

Looking at his wife's obedient appearance, Fang Wei couldn't help but reach out and pinch her waist, saying with a mischievous smile, "My wife is so virtuous."

Wu Shaoli stiffened, looked up and glared at him, and said angrily, "Are you still going to town or not?"

"go."

Fang Wei smiled, left the courtyard, and started pedaling his bicycle towards the town.

……

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital corridor was still very pungent.

Fang Wei sidestepped around the crowd, went up the stairs to the second floor, took a deep breath in front of room 206, and then knocked three times.

"Enter."

Fang Wei pushed open the door and went in. He saw Gu Weimin leaning against the headboard with two pillows behind his back. He looked better than when he came the day before yesterday.

That somewhat sagging face was no longer sallow; a faint blush had returned to her cheekbones.

Upon seeing Fang Wei, Fang Zhi immediately put down the fruit knife and apple he was holding and called out, "Dawei! What brings you here again?"

Sitting by the window, Gu Yuan looked up and glanced at Fang Wei indifferently.

Although her gaze wasn't as piercingly cold as before, she didn't immediately tell them to get out.

In that one glance, Fang Wei knew what was going on. He walked to the bedside, bent down, looked at Gu Weimin, and asked, "Uncle Gu, how are you feeling now? Are you still dizzy?"

"Much better, much better."

Gu Weimin looked at Fang Wei and gave a somewhat awkward smile: "Director Zhang said my pulse is much more stable than before, thanks to the good Gastrodia elata you sent last time."

He pointed to the enamel mug on the bedside table.

"This medicine is really effective. After only two days of taking it, my dizziness has been reduced by more than half. Director Zhang even said that my recovery speed is faster than he expected."

Fang Wei felt more confident about what he was about to say and smiled, "That's good. If you run out of Tianma, just have my second brother tell me, and I'll go back up the mountain to look for it again."

"No."

Gu Weimin was used to being serious, and after laughing for a while, he couldn't keep up the smile. He could only say, "I'll be discharged from the hospital in a few days. The gastrodia elata you gave me last time should last me a long time."

"It's alright, I work in the mountains every day anyway, it's not much trouble."

Fang Wei scratched his head, looking at Fang Zhi somewhat embarrassed: "Actually, I came here today to discuss something with my second brother and sister-in-law."

Fang Zhi frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"That's how it is..."

Fang Wei cleared his throat and recounted the events that had occurred in Laotang Village over the past two days, concluding, "All eight pigs were killed, and the total weight of the cleaned meat was over 1,200 jin."

"How many?!"

"1237 catties, all meat, bones removed."

Fang Wei looked at Fang Zhi's shocked face and continued speaking.

"A village meeting was held, and Village Chief Zhou made the decision to sell the meat and distribute the money to each household that had contributed to the effort."

Fang Zhi stared blankly at Fang Wei, as if he were seeing his younger brother for the first time.

He truly never expected that his youngest brother would have the guts to fight a wild boar!

"I'm here today."

Fang Wei looked at Fang Zhi with a sincere expression and said in a low voice, "I just want to shamelessly ask my second brother and sister-in-law if they have any connections to help me get in touch with the food company in the county."

"I also have some channels for shipping goods, but they have a small appetite. At most, they can only handle two or three hundred catties, and they can't handle any more."

"It's still hot here, the meat won't keep long enough."

"If we don't find a way to get rid of it quickly, these 1,200 pounds of meat will just rot in the village."

Fang Wei confessed everything he needed to, and then stood there honestly looking at his second brother and sister-in-law.

When Fang Zhi heard that the meat was going to rot in the village, he immediately became anxious.

His older brother and younger brother both put in a lot of effort in the wild boar hunt in the village this time. If they can make money from it, they will definitely get a lot of it!

"Yuanyuan,"

Fang Zhi moved closer to his wife, patted her shoulders, and said ingratiatingly, "I remember you had a college classmate surnamed Luo who worked as a purchasing agent at the county food company, right?"
