She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Gu Qingqing didn't know much about the town, and she had been thinking about this problem along the way. She sold her meat by the slice. She cut a pound of meat into fifteen slices of almost the same size, and she planned to sell them at three cents per slice.

Three cents for one slice, fifteen slices equals forty-five cents. Wild boar meat is seventeen cents per pound. The salt and vegetables used are worth three cents at most. She doesn't know the price of brown sugar, so she calculates it at ten cents first. The labor and firewood are five cents. If she can sell it, she can make a net profit of ten cents per pound.

I only made four pounds today. Originally, there should have been sixty slices, but I ate four slices at home, so now there are only fifty-six slices.

The minimum price is forty cents. Of course, Gu Qingqing has calculated all the costs to the maximum.

As for the salted vegetables in the meat, they were intended to be given as gifts, and anyone who bought meat would get some as a gift.

If it was before noon, she believed her meat would sell well, but the timing was a little off.

Gu Qingqing thought about it and said, "Let's go to the market first. If there's no one there, we'll go to the street."

"Mom, will we run into bad guys when we go to the market today? Last time, it was because we bought Xiao Hei that they knew we were rich." Dahua asked worriedly.

Gu Qingqing paused, then clenched the stick in her hand and said, "If we meet them again today, we will fight them."

"Fight?" When Dahua heard about the fight, her face instantly became determined, like a wolf cub protecting its food, "Mom, I'm not afraid of fighting. I also have a stick."

Gu Qingqing laughed loudly and changed her tone, "Hua, when I say fight, I mean run as hard as you can, not fight. Let's not fight, not fight!"

"Ah? It's not a fight!"

"Of course we won't fight. If we can't win, we will be beaten by them. So of course we have to run as fast as we can."

"Oh, then I get it, mom!"

......

After entering the town, Gu Qingqing took Dahua and went to the market first. But when she looked inside the market, she found that half of the stalls were empty and there were very few people buying things.

On the contrary, at the door was the place where Gu Qingqing bought the dog last time, and there was an old lady selling salted vegetables at a stall.

Gu Qingqing thought that she had already used up the only salted vegetables at home today. Regardless of whether she would set up a stall tomorrow, she still had pork at home. If she wanted to make shaobai again in the future, she would need salted vegetables.

Gu Qingqing walked over and looked at the salted vegetables on the bamboo cover on the ground. She asked, "How much is this?"

The old lady who was buying vegetables smiled and said, "That's all we have. If you buy all of it, I'll give you 40 cents. If it were in the morning, I could sell it for 45 cents!"

Gu Qingqing looked at the ten kilograms of salted vegetables and agreed readily without bargaining, saying "OK" and paying forty cents.

Seeing that Gu Qingqing refused to put the salted vegetables in the bamboo basket, the other party tied the salted vegetables with a vine in his basket and asked her to carry it in her hands.

Gu Qingqing walked towards the street carrying the bamboo basket on her back, and she did not forget to joke with Dahua, "Look, we haven't sold any meat yet, but we've helped other people's business."

Dahua blinked and asked, "Mom, do you think we can sell it?"

Gu Qingqing was unsure, but she said, "Of course I can. Didn't you say that the meat my mother cooks is delicious?"

When this was mentioned, Dahua immediately perked up, her head almost nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and she said loudly without question, "My mother's cooking is the best."

Gu Qingqing was reminded by Dahua's sudden shout. She looked around and suddenly had an idea in her mind. She said to Dahua, "Hua, mother has something to tell you. When we get there, you should shout loudly: fat but not greasy, melt-in-your-mouth Shaobai is here. First come, first served, and the quantity is limited."

Dahua also thought a lot. She would do whatever her mother asked her to do. "Mom, my voice is very loud. I will make sure they can all hear me."

Gu Qingqing smiled at her and the two of them walked towards the street.

There were many people on the street and there were scattered stalls on the roadside, but no one was interested.

Gu Qingqing chose an open space not far from a noodle stall and took down the bamboo basket behind her. Then she said to Dahua, "Shout!"

Dahua took a step forward and shouted at the top of her voice: The fat but not greasy, melt-in-your-mouth Shaobai is here, first come, first served, limited quantity!

: The fat but not greasy, melt-in-your-mouth Shaobai is here, first come first served, limited quantity!

The child's shouting instantly attracted the attention of people walking on the street, and they all looked towards Dahua.

Dahua didn't know she was stage fright, but when she saw someone looking at her, she spoke louder, repeating the words her mother taught her.

The first person to come was a little girl dressed as a maid who was passing by.

She heard the shout and came over with a basket in her hand, "What are you selling? Hey, it's made of pork!"

The little girl pointed at the things in the basin and asked.

Gu Qingqing smiled and agreed, "It's pork, made with the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors. Do you want to try it?"

Gu Qingqing said she would give it a try, and didn't care whether the other party would buy it or not, but she directly picked up a small piece with a bamboo stick and handed it to the other party.

The little girl hesitated at first, but finally took it. When she put the meat into her mouth, her eyes widened immediately. This thing tasted better than anything cooked by the chef in their house.

She worked in the mansion, and although she was a second-class maid, she had eaten the meat rewarded by her master.

Today happened to be her regular salary day, and it was also her day off, so she was worrying about what to bring back for her greedy brother at home.

"How do you sell this?"

"A slice of meat costs three cents. If you buy five slices, you get some free salted vegetables. But since you are the first customer, I will give you some free salted vegetables no matter how many slices you buy. It will be very delicious when you mix it with rice when you go back."

After some hesitation, the little girl just bought three pieces.

Because it was the opening ceremony of the business, Gu Qingqing gave the other party a large clip of salted vegetables.

At this time, a curious old man stopped and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what is Shaobai you are talking about? This word sounds new."

Dahua said happily, "Grandpa, Shaobai is pork."

"Pork? Why is pork called Shaobai?"

Dahua was confused by the question. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't remember why pork was called Shaobai. She was so anxious that she had to run to Gu Qingqing and asked, "Mom, why is pork called Shaobai?"

Gu Qingqing had already taken out all the bowls, several polished bamboo tubes, bamboo clips and bamboo sticks from the bamboo basket.

At this time, the clay pot containing the meat was picked up, the bottom of the bamboo basket was turned upwards, and then the clay pot was placed on the bottom of the bamboo basket.

After that, Gu Qingqing looked up and saw the old man in a cotton robe, also looking at the basin on her bamboo basket curiously.

Gu Qingqing showed her signature service smile, "Uncle, because we use pork belly here, pork is also called white meat, so it is called Shaobai. After being cooked over a slow fire, the fat is fat but not greasy and melts in your mouth. Uncle, you can come and try it."
