Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 55 Shooting Hanako

  When the group met Father Zhu and the others, Father Zhu and the others had already negotiated the price with a restaurant.

  Father Zhu, fourth uncle, and Zhu Pingjun, who was lazily sitting in the car, were in the town and didn’t know who to sell the wild boar to, the owner of a restaurant came to contact him, very sincerely.

The price of ordinary pork is about 18 yuan per catty, and the price of live pigs (fat pigs that have just been slaughtered) is 10 yuan per catty. After all, the cost of slaughtering live pigs and removing blood, offal, etc., the meat yield of live pigs is about 80%. Therefore, it is understandable that there is a gap between the prices of live pigs and pork. For the wild boar that Father Zhu and the others brought in, the price given by the shopkeeper of the restaurant was 15 Wen per catty. This price has exceeded the expectations of Zhu's father and the fourth uncle, and it is half the price of the pigs raised at home, so naturally they agreed. The wild boar has a net weight of 268 catties. It should have been paid 4020 Wen, but the shopkeeper gave 4050 Wen for the sake of popularity, and gave an extra 30 Wen. The total is more than four taels of silver. Of course, the shopkeeper earns more. A wild boar can make hundreds of delicacies, and once it changes hands, it can earn at least a hundred taels of silver.

  The eldest aunt, the fourth aunt, and others were all excitedly stared at by the four taels of silver and 50 Wen copper coins given by the shopkeeper. They have never had so much money in their hands. Seeing so much money all at once now, the auntie and the others stared straight at them, wishing they could rush forward and hold all the money in their arms.

  Zhu Ping'an's attention was not on the money, but on Zhu Pingjun who should have followed Zhu's father and the others, but this time he was not here. Where can Brother Jun go alone, and he doesn't know the way! It's okay to run and play, but if someone tricks you, it's not bad. With Brother Jun's virtue, both possibilities are very high.

   "Father, fourth uncle, where is Brother Jun?" Concerned, Zhu Pingan interrupted the adults surrounding Yinzi, reminding them that Zhu Pingjun was gone.

   "Jun'er is with us" the fourth uncle swallowed halfway through his words, and he also found that Zhu Pingjun was gone.

   Now the adults are in a hurry, where did this brat go. Thinking of the rumors that there were rumors that Huazi had kidnapped a child in the town before, I couldn't help but feel anxious. Quickly put the broken silver and copper coins in the money purse, Father Zhu and the others went to Zhu Pingjun in several ways, but they dared not lose them.

   She yelled several times, but there was no response. My aunt was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

  Suddenly, Zhu Ping'an saw a brat sucking his finger on a candied haws stand, who looked a lot like Zhu Pingjun. It's just that there is a man and a woman beside him, both are middle-aged, they don't look like any good people, and they are bargaining with the boss who sells candied haws at this moment.

   "Auntie, do you think that's Brother Jun?" Zhu Pingan hurriedly called the bewildered auntie.

   "Jun'er, who told you to run around?" The aunt just took one look, and was sure that it was Zhu Pingjun, and then looked at the middle-aged couple beside him, and couldn't help shouting in shock and ran over.

  The voice of the eldest aunt attracted Father Zhu and the fourth uncle who were looking for them not far away, and they ran here together.

  The middle-aged couple who were bargaining with the candied haws seller over there saw that the situation was not good, left Zhu Pingjun alone, plunged into a small alley and quickly slipped away.

  The eldest aunt pulled Zhu Pingjun into her arms, checked several times, and took a deep breath when she was sure that she was safe.

  At this time, adults have time to ask Zhu Pingjun the ins and outs.

  Zhu Pingjun bit his finger, stared at the candied haws stand and swallowed his saliva, and told the truth of the matter illogically.

  While Zhu's father and his fourth uncle were busy negotiating prices with the shopkeeper of the restaurant and helping unload wild boars, Zhu Pingjun was bored counting ants beside the bullock cart. Then he heard someone telling a book in front of the teahouse next door, which happened to be his favorite story about the heroes fighting violence and Anliang, so he walked over to listen to it.

This is a middle-aged couple, um, the one who slipped away just now. They told Zhu Pingjun that there happened to be a hero in their family visiting their house, and that Zhu Pingjun had strange bones, so he must be a martial arts genius. He said that he would take Zhu Pingjun to Daxia's apprenticeship.

   That's right, Zhu Pingjun immediately left with him.

  Fortunately, Zhu Pingjun was greedy for food. When he saw the manager of the candied haws stand asking for candied haws, when the middle-aged couple was buying them, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhu Pingan and was chased back by his aunt.

  After hearing this, the eldest aunt's face darkened, and she grabbed Zhu Pingjun, who gave him a beating and a persuasion education, saying that he was patting Hanako and abducting children.

   After a while, Zhu Pingjun was beaten until he cried and his voice changed.

  The eldest aunt felt that the education was almost done, so she asked Zhu Pingjun, "In the future, some people will say that there are heroes, and you still follow them."

  Zhu Pingjun was still crying with tears and runny nose, but after hearing this, he immediately regained his energy.

   looked up at the auntie and asked quickly, "Where is it, where is the hero?"

   As a result, he was beaten again by the aunt with a dark face.

  Is this what children should do? The corners of Zhu Ping'an's eyes twitched a little, which he couldn't learn by himself. Even if you think about it with your ass, it won't be like this.

  Chen and the others hurriedly stopped them, fearing that the aunt who was so angry that she almost vomited blood would kill her relatives righteously, they hugged their arms, and protected Zhu Pingjun. After persuading for a while, the eldest aunt calmed down.

  Zhu Pingjun, who had been beaten twice, didn't realize the fact that the two middle-aged couples who kindly brought him to apprentice just now were flirtatious until he got home. He muttered in his mouth that he must have a real hero next time, so that he can follow. If it wasn't for his low voice, he would have been caught by his aunt and given a lesson.

  Father Zhu handed over the money from selling wild boars to his grandmother as soon as he got home. Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied with this. Her husband and eldest son had spent so much effort to get back the wild boar, and were injured a little bit, so why not give them any money.

After dinner, Mrs. Chen was always unhappy, but after Zhu Pingan dumped a large basket of rags on the ground, and took out the 270 Wen coins from selling honeysuckle hidden in the rags and handed them over to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen's face changed. Look better.
