In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 62 Meat smells so good!

forecourt.

Chen Cheng carefully picked up a small piece of chicken intestine as if it were a precious treasure, and put it into his mouth with great care, afraid that it would fall to the ground.

As Chen Cheng put the chicken intestines in his mouth and chewed them carefully, his big eyes slowly lit up.

"Delicious, so delicious! Is this what meat tastes like?"

Chen Cheng licked his lips, as if trying to clean up all the remaining taste, and kept praising it.

The brothers Chen Shi and Chen Mu chewed slowly and carefully, reluctant to swallow the chicken intestines, repeatedly chewing them in their mouths.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

"The meat smells so good!"

Like Chen Cheng, the two brothers gave Chicken Intestines the highest praise.

Seeing this, Chen Dao couldn't help but laugh and cry. Judging from the expressions of the three brothers, anyone who didn't know better would think they were eating delicacies instead of chicken giblets.

However, Chen Dao understood the three brothers' feelings. They hadn't eaten a single piece of meat for several years, and any meaty food, let alone chicken giblets, was enough to make them ecstatic.

Not to mention the three brothers, even Chen Si and Chen Jiang, who often went hunting in the mountains with Chen Da and occasionally got to eat some meat, gave extremely high praise to the taste of chicken giblets.

To put it simply, eating meat is the most basic human need. For ordinary people who can't afford meat all year round, even chicken giblets, which are not strictly speaking meat, are enough to make them feel satisfied and happy.

"Cheng-ge'er".

Chen Dao took a sip of egg drop soup and said with a smile, "You guys work hard, and maybe you'll be able to eat meat in a while."

"really?"

Chen Cheng and the other four looked at Chen Dao with surprise. They were always willing to believe what Chen Dao said, because Chen Dao had never failed to keep his promises.

"Of course!"

Chen Dao nodded: "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to eat meat."

"Don't worry, Brother Dao, we'll definitely work hard."

"We will definitely renovate Daoge's house into a beautiful one."

"Just you wait and see, Brother Dao, we'll definitely be able to build your house!"

"..."

Chen Cheng and the others were even more excited after receiving Chen Dao's affirmative answer; if they worked hard, they could eat meat...

In the past, I wouldn't have dared to even think about such a thing!

Two days later.

As soon as dawn broke, Wu Han got up from his bed.

"Old Wu, where are you going so early?"

Hearing the noise, Wu Han's wife, Zhang Ya, asked.

"We have business today, so we need to leave early. You'd better get up and make breakfast."

Wu Han casually replied, then got dressed and opened the front door of his house.

But outside the door, three young men dressed in heavy clothing were waiting. A gust of cold wind blew in, and the three men shivered.

"Why are you here so early?"

Wu Han asked with some surprise, "These three young men are none other than my wife Zhang Ya's three younger brothers."

Wu Han's wife, Zhang Ya, was not from the county town, but from a village outside the town. Since marrying Zhang Ya, Wu Han has also taken on the responsibility of taking care of Zhang Ya's family, and brought her three younger brothers to the city.

Wu Han originally intended to have Zhang Ya's three younger brothers work for him, which was exactly what he had done in the past. The three brothers would work for Wu Han, and Wu Han would pay them so that they could make a living in the city.

However... recently, as business has become increasingly difficult, Wu Han has been unable to take care of the three brothers, and has had to let them go to the city to find some manual labor.

The three brothers didn't complain, nor did they stay at Wu Han's house and affect the couple's lives. Instead, they supported themselves by working odd jobs and living in the cheapest housing. Although life was tough, they were still able to make ends meet.

It was precisely because of the three brothers' honest nature that Wu Han was willing to help them. If these three brothers were truly the kind of idle people, Wu Han would not have gone to such lengths to help them, even if he did so out of respect for Zhang Ya.

"Didn't you send us, brother-in-law?"

Zhang Ming, the eldest of the three brothers, smiled honestly. Two days ago, his brother-in-law Wu Han asked someone to inform them that there was a business deal he wanted to do with the three of them and asked them to come over today. So they got up early in the morning and came to Wu Han's house to wait without even having breakfast.

"Xiao Ming, you're too honest!"

Wu Han chuckled and joked, "You're here so early, and you didn't even knock!"

"We were just afraid of bothering my brother-in-law and sister, weren't we?"

The second brother, Zhang Shui, smiled and said that the three brothers had a very good impression of their brother-in-law, Wu Han. After marrying their sister, Wu Han had always done his best to help them, and they remembered these things.

"Fine!"

Wu Han didn't say much, but asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? If not, come in and have some with us."

"not yet."

The three brothers didn't exchange pleasantries with Wu Han and went straight into the house.

"Ming-ge, you've arrived?"

Zhang Ya, who was already up and busy in the kitchen, poked her head out to greet the three brothers before retreating back to continue her work.

Wu Han gestured for the three brothers to sit down in the living room, and then said, "How have you been doing with your work in the city lately?"

"I can barely get enough to eat."

Zhang Ming replied, "Brother-in-law should know that grain prices in the city are getting higher and higher these days. I heard from the laborers that in the past, they could earn enough to feed their family in a day's work, but now it's difficult! The three of us brothers work together and can only earn 30 copper coins a day, and that doesn't even include meals."

"Thirty copper coins!"

Wu Han's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "How could there be so little?"

"I don't know either!"

Zhang Ming scratched his head and said, "The boss said that there are too many people looking for work now. Even if it's only 5 copper coins, people will still do it if they sell their labor for a day. He only hires us because he thinks we three brothers are honest and don't slack off. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to hire us."

"This……"

Wu Han opened his mouth, his heart heavy.

He knew life was tough in the city these days, but he didn't realize it had gotten this bad.

Three strong laborers can only earn 30 copper coins a day, which is only enough to buy one pound of rice...

This dog has entered the world!

Wu Han cursed inwardly, choosing to skip the topic: "I've called you here today because I need your help with a business deal."

“Brother-in-law, you said it, we will definitely help you with your problem.”

The three brothers patted their chests and assured each other that they were very willing to work for Wu Han. Because of their kinship, Wu Han always took good care of them and was always willing to give them more pay for the same work.

Wu Han nodded after receiving the three brothers' assurances and said, "This business requires us to go outside the city. The reason I asked you to come here is to help protect the truck so that it won't be targeted by thieves outside the city."

Wu Han's business this time was naturally the white-feathered chicken transaction that he had agreed upon with Chen Dao. In the past, when Wu Han bought live poultry, he would occasionally go out of town, but he would never go more than a mile away from the county town. Now, however, he was going to Chenjia Village, which was more than ten miles away...
