Chen Baiyi did not refuse. A pig head was not light, so him helping her send it over would save her a lot of effort. “How much does it cost?”

“No need. Just treat it as my compensation for last time.”

When she heard this, the blush that Chen Baiyi had suppressed with great difficulty rose again. She didn’t even say thank you and directly rushed out the door. He Xiao laughed very loudly and gestured for his lackey to follow. “Thank you, thank you, Brother Xiao. You’re a magnanimous person. Don’t lower yourself to her level,” said Dog Two flatteringly.

He Xiao didn’t say anything. He glanced at him and waved him away.

After Dog Two came out, he wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. What happened just now was too scary.

…

Chen Baiyi thanked the underling who had helped her deliver the food and closed the door before starting to prepare the pig’s head meat. She already had an idea. If she wanted to make something delicious and sellable, then braising the meat was the best choice. The raw materials and cooking method were simple, the cost was not high, and it would be quick to prepare. If she cooked now, she could sell it later, and the profit would be very high. Because there was nothing at home, Chen Baiyi knocked on Auntie Lin’s door to ask.

Since she had everything now, she would begin preparations. Chen Baiyi first cleaned the hair on the pig’s head and soaked it for two hours before placing it in the pot. Then, she added wine and ginger to boil it. Then, she placed the blanched pig’s head meat into the pot and added ginger, scallions, octagonal, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, cloves, and other spices. She added half a spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of old extract, one spoonful of raw extract, and twenty iced sugar cubes. After half an hour of boiling, she lowered the heat to broil for an hour and stewed for another while.

It was time. Chen Baiyi opened the pot lid and took a bite. Mn ~, it was really quite delicious. After filling a large bowl, she placed the rest in the basin to sell later. She carried the bowl of pig head meat to Auntie Lin. When Auntie Lin saw that Chen Baiyi was holding food, she beamed.

After bidding farewell to the Lin family, Chen Baiyi prepared to start selling. After arriving at the market, Chen Baiyi found a random place and put down her “precious meat”. This was her first time doing business, and the joy of earning money surpassed her nervousness. After composing herself, she began to imitate the others and shout, “Braised meat, delicious and cheap pig head meat. Come and take a look. Everyone can taste it once for free.”

When those people who were shopping at the market heard that they could taste it for free, they gathered over immediately. Chen Baiyi was already prepared. She took out a small bag filled with broken pig head meat. Although there was not much, they could still taste it.

“Is this pig head meat?”

“Why did you cook it like this?”

“It’s pig head meat. It’s a new cooking method. You can try it before deciding whether to buy it or not.”

After everyone confirmed that they could eat it for free, the bag was snatched away.

“Delicious. Give me some.”

“Help me weigh mine too.”

“Me too…”

“Me too…”

This was probably the first time they had eaten such delicious braised meat. Those who only wanted to take advantage of the free sample at first were all clamoring to buy it now. The people in the distance saw the commotion and also came over to watch. Everyone fought over it. After a few hours, they were all sold out.

“Why is it gone? Do you still have more?”

“No, but I’ll still come to sell it tomorrow.”

When those who did not manage to buy any heard that there would be more tomorrow, they went home in peace and came to buy it early the next day. Chen Baiyi did not expect it to be so easy to sell. The price she set was not low, but it was still sold. It seemed that she could increase the price next time.
