Verse 24: Like smoke
In front of the glass display case, one or two aunts carrying baskets are patrolling with their heads down, and in the glass display case, a variety of meat products are placed on iron plates, with their respective product names and prices. Under the iron plate, there is cold air steaming up to maintain the freshness of the meat, and under the cold air steaming, the fog in the display cabinet is thin, which is quite a bit of a fairyland on earth.
An aunt pointed to one of the iron plates and said to the person behind the display case, "This meat is cheaper, I'll buy it for 9 yuan." ”
Standing behind the display case, Duane is dressed in white overalls, with a one-piece red apron tied in front of him, and a white work cap, a bit like Mario, the plumber in the FC game. In the face of his aunt's words, he didn't raise his eyelids, and opened his mouth to say: "Sister, this is the tenderloin, the most expensive part of the pig is this part, 10 yuan is not expensive, you go to the vegetable market for more than this price." ”
After speaking, he looked up at the cold and fresh booth one meter and a half away in front of the display case: there was a customer who had just picked a long time, and left without taking anything except for a few frozen chicken legs and duck legs.
I'll go out and tidy up the booth later.
The aunt still didn't give up: "Oh, I said why don't you know how to do business as a young man? Is there any difference between 9 yuan and 10 yuan? I came to your house to buy it after I was happy to buy it this time, why don't you think about the business in the long run." ”
Du An smiled bitterly, "Sister, I am also a part-time worker, and I have no right to reduce the price, otherwise I will give you 9 yuan." Or you buy this,"
Nowadays, people are still not used to this kind of supermarket-style shopping - in fact, not to mention these elderly aunts, even Duane has to work for a few days to get used to this way of shopping.
He pointed to an iron plate next to him, "The hind leg meat is good, 7 yuan a catty." ”
I don't know if these two "sisters" played a role or died after learning that Duane did not have the right to reduce the price, the aunt did not continue to entangle, muttered a few sentences and pointed to the iron plate containing the tenderloin, "Give me a ...... Half a pound of tenderloin. ”
Duane tore off a bag, put some tenderloin in it with a clip, and when he checked the bag, he felt that the amount was wrong, so he took out a little more and checked it again.
Almost.
I put the bag on the scale, pressed the button with the label "loin", and the number was displayed.
248 grams.
Just half a catty.
Duane punched out the slip, tied the bag tightly, beat it with a mouthbeater, and then pasted the label and handed it to the aunt.
"Walk slowly. ”
After seeing off the customer, the other customer seemed to be too expensive and shook his head and left, and Duane had time to go to the side of the stool to rest, and looked out boredly: outside the display case was a stand for frozen meats, covered with ice, and beyond that was the aquatic goods stand, where business was better than here, with three customers shopping and two tellers busy, and farther away, out of the fresh food section, the shelves in the grocery section.
This is the Lotte Mart supermarket in Xuanwu District, Chengdong, Nanyang City, where Du An's meat department now works, specializing in the handling and sales of meat products.
Unconsciously, he has been working here for almost a month, but Shanghai's affairs are still in his mind, as if it happened yesterday: as he expected, in the face of Pony Film and Television's bid, Fang Liyong could only follow the route he designed, first opened a price of five million, probably to take the opportunity to slaughter a knife, but Qi Sheng quit directly, and Fang Liyong, who was difficult to ride a tiger, could only agree to release and distribute it, and contact the theater to arrange the screening, and after a series of actions, "Chainsaw" finally got the opportunity to be released.
After finishing the movie, Duane let go of a big stone in his heart, and wanted to go to Shanghai to be a medicine agent, but he didn't expect Baier to recruit someone and quit. Su Peng also complained on the phone that Du An's ink was too ink, and he didn't come for a long time, he was just a pharmaceutical agent, and he couldn't hold it down at all, so he could only waste this opportunity.
So Duane could only return to Nanyang.
Fortunately, Duane was lucky, and caught up with the recruitment of Lotte Mart in the talent market the next day, and got the current position: reserve cadre of the meat department, with a probation period of 500 per month, 650 after becoming a regular, and two insurances.
Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, a voice came from behind Duane.
"Brother Du, drink some water. ”
It's a woman's voice, soft and glutinous, very good, with the unique softness of Jiangnan women, which makes people can't help but think of a classical and charming face.
Duane's head grew all at once.
He turned his head helplessly, "Ruyan, how many times have I told you, you are not allowed to drink water at the counter, you have to drink water to drink in the back." ”
Behind him stood a woman at this moment.
The body is burly and majestic, the work clothes are a little tight on the body, the face of the Chinese character, the thick eyebrows and big eyes, the thick lips, the skin is slightly dark, he is really a good man.
At this moment, this "hero" held the cup in both hands, lowered his head aggrievedly, and said "oh", his voice was still so soft and warm.
This "good man" is his colleague, Xu Ruyan.
Seeing Xu Ruyan's appearance, Du An's words were too heavy, so he had to say, "Forget it this time, you take the water to the back...... I'm not thirsty now, and if I did, I would drink it myself. ”
Xu Ruyan was summoned, and Du Anfa was stunned for a while.
He thought of Shu Yu.
That night in Shanghai, he admitted that he was tempted, but he also understood his situation, it was okay to be friends with Shu Yu, but it was impossible to be a couple: not that Shu Yu's identity was impossible with him, but because the worldview of the two was too different - Shu Yu was too self-motivated, thinking about how to climb up all day long, but he had no ambition, and his biggest desire was to take root in the city.
The world view is so different, it is obvious that it is impossible to be together, so Du An cut off his thoughts at the right time - in Du An's opinion, he was just a physiological normal reaction caused by a sudden increase in hormones, and after cutting off the meeting with Shu Yu and hiding in the room and secretly masturbating a few tubes, he successfully extinguished the restlessness in his heart.
Love or something, it's just a false name that the ** literati forcibly gave to their bestial desires.
Duane sighed like a philosopher.
Thinking of Shu Yu, he thought of today's events again, and took out two movie tickets from his pocket.
"Chainsaw" started, the premiere is today, and these two tickets were also sent to him by Shu Yu today, and by the way, I told him some relevant specific circumstances: October 17, that is, the national premiere at 23:00 this evening - it is said that it is the whole country, but Ruixing Film and Television, which is still a rookie in the film industry, opened up a small theater line in such a hurry and got 47 cinemas. Other powerful theaters can actually be on it, but the strength of the two sides is unequal, and if you insist on going on it, you will be exploited too much by the theater, so let's talk about a small-scale test screening first. The only thing to be thankful for is that these 47 theaters are distributed in seven provinces along the eastern coast, and the provincial capitals and first-tier cities are all covered, which is a little worse than the second- and third-tier cities, and basically cannot be covered.
"Brother Du, what is this?"
Xu Ruyan put the cup down, had already walked out, and couldn't help but ask when he saw the movie ticket in Du An's hand.
Du An held the movie ticket, looked up at Xu Ruyan, and suddenly said: "Ruyan, I'll invite you to the movie after work." ”
Seeing Xu Ruyan's complexion change, from stunned to surprised to about to cry with joy, Du An's head grew again, so he had to turn his head to look outside, sigh and rub his eyebrows lightly.
He was originally going to give these two movie tickets to Aunt Shen and let her and Song Zhen see them. But Aunt Shen didn't want to watch it after hearing that it was a horror movie, and the screening time was 11 o'clock in the evening, and she obviously didn't want her daughter to come out to watch the movie so late, so the two movie tickets couldn't be given away.
But it can't be wasted, in Duane's opinion, waste is simply a crime, there is no way, so it has to be cheap.
