The eldest cousin from the Zhang Family, seventeen years old, a seasoned butcher of three years, and his father Butcher Zhang's most reliable helper. He is sturdy and brawny but somewhat shy by nature. He delivers freshly slaughtered pork to Sheng An every morning, bringing front leg meat with nine parts lean to one part fat, and also saves pork bones for her. His parents reminded him to help because it was unsafe for a woman to cross several streets before dawn.
