Chapter 8: Indispensable (3)
Located in the southwest corner of the city, there are many small vendors selling vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish, and most of the people who live in the neighborhood come here to buy their daily necessities, and gradually the so-called market is formed. Zhang Jizu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, did not know the specific location of Liu Sisheng's stall, so they could only wander around aimlessly, it was almost noon, there were not many people in the vegetable market, and some vegetable vendors saw that there was no business, so they simply closed the stall and hid from the sun.
"This big brother, is there a person named Liu Sisheng in this vegetable field? He's supposed to be a butcher. Zhang Jizu asked a vendor who was tidying up his stall on the side.
The peddler raised his head and looked at Zhang Jizu and replied, "What Liu Sisheng?" I haven't heard of it, but there is one here at the butcher 'Liu Yidao', with a turn to the right in front, and you can find him wherever there are many people. ”
"'Liu Yidao', this name is quite loud! Young master, is he the person we are looking for? Ali asked.
Zhang Jizu didn't speak, but just motioned for them to go over and have a look.
"Hey, it's really strange that a boy can find a pig killer." The vendor behind him muttered quietly.
"It seems that the popularity of this 'Liu Yidao' here is not too good!" Zhang Jizu thought to himself as he walked.
However, the vendor was indeed right, after turning right, a group of people were seen watching something from a dozen steps away, and there were more than 20 onlookers, but most of them were vendors in the vegetable market from the way they dressed.
"Young master, what can a pig killer and deboning be so good-looking, why are there so many people around?" Ali asked with some disdain.
In fact, Zhang Jizu was also very curious about this, but after a few contacts, he didn't dare to underestimate the weak-looking Liu Sisheng. At this time, someone in the crowd let out a sigh of exclamation.
"Let's go over and have a look." Zhang Jizu said hello, and then stood outside the crowd and looked inside. It doesn't matter what you see, but it really opened Zhang Jizu's eyes, only to see a big meat case in the center of the crowd, on which there is half a fan of bone-in pork, a tall and thin young man with a delicate face is operating with one hand, and the other hand is walking up and down the pork, it seems to be looking for bone sutures, every time he finds a point, the guy uses a wide blade short knife in his hand, or scratches or stabs, and the sound similar to "empty" can be heard where the blade reaches, but it is not the sound of hitting the bones, it can really be described as "the hand touches, the shoulder leans, the foot walks, The knee is kicking, and the knife is played, and it is not the alto. A few minutes later, the young man withdrew the short knife, and after hitting the back of the knife several times in a row, first the pig's front and rear hooves fell off by itself, and then half of the pork chops were also separated without any connection, leaving a puddle of soft skin and flesh.
"Good!" The crowd erupted in applause, and Zhang Jizu couldn't stop nodding, thinking, "Wonderful, this technique is like a trick." ”
At this time, the young man, wiped the knife away, looked at the crowd with a blank face, and then took a few steps back and leaned against a tree behind him.
"Young master, this Liu Sisheng does have two hits!" Ali no longer underestimates Liu Sisheng now.
"Folks, thank you for your support, this case is fresh pork today, whoever wants to buy it should be as soon as possible!" A middle-aged man with a greasy and fat face walked out and shouted to the crowd. But as soon as he shouted, he saw that the onlookers who were still watching with relish suddenly dispersed, leaving only Zhang Jizu and Ali.
"These people know that they don't even want to buy a pig's tail when they see the excitement." The middle-aged man scolded, looked at Zhang Jizu and them again, and asked with a smile: "This gentleman, I see that you are knowledgeable, and you can pick which piece of meat you like." ”
When the stall owner asked, Zhang Jizu immediately felt really embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only say hesitantly: "Oh, don't worry, don't worry, I'm here to find Mr. Liu." As he spoke, he pointed to Liu Sisheng, who was still leaning under the tree.
When the stall owner heard that Zhang Jizu was not buying meat, he immediately withdrew his smile, turned his head with a straight face and shouted to Liu Sisheng: "Looking for you!" Then he didn't pay attention to Zhang Jizu anymore, lowered his head and picked up the pork on the case, but he muttered in his mouth: "What is Mr. who kills pigs?" His voice was not small, Zhang Jizu could hear it, and presumably Liu Sisheng could hear it, but Liu Sisheng walked over as if nothing had happened, and walked over expressionlessly.
"Mr. Liu, hello, from yesterday to now, I forgot to introduce myself in a daze, my surname is Zhang, my name is step-ancestor, because I have stayed in the West, so I still have a foreign name, called ......"
"You don't have to say, are you not going to rent my house anymore, and you want to quit the lease when you come to me?" Zhang Jizu originally wanted to ease the atmosphere first, but he didn't expect Liu Sisheng to be interested in listening to Zhang Jizu's chatter at all, so he directly interrupted him.
"That, Mr. Liu, you misunderstood, I didn't look for you to return the rent, but there are other things, but this matter is more special, can you take a step to speak." Zhang Jizu explained.
"Is there anything you can't say here?" Liu Sisheng asked again.
"It seems that Liu Sisheng has some bad impressions of himself." Zhang Jizu felt in his heart, but the situation forced him, and now he really can't do without Liu Sisheng's help, so Zhang Jizu showed his signature smile again, leaned in front of Liu Sisheng and whispered: "I have a tricky case in my hand now and want to ask you for help, if I can solve this case, there will be a bounty of 1,000 yuan, and when the time comes, isn't it much better for you and me to kill pigs and debone than you here to kill pigs and debon?" ”
Zhang Jizu originally thought that when he said this, and then attracted with a high bounty, Liu Sisheng would definitely agree, but he didn't expect Liu Sisheng to still have an indifferent expression after hearing this, and just said with a slight pause: "As Mr. Zhang said, I am a boning pig killer, where do I have the ability to solve any case, those are what a detective like you should do, I can't help." ”
Seeing Liu Sisheng's refusal, Zhang Jizu was really a little anxious, wiped his sweat and said: "Little Brother Liu, you should be a few years younger than me, so young, are you willing to live such a life, are you willing to bury all your abilities?" Aren't you afraid that Lingtang Lingzun will be so cold when he sees you? ”
"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to judge me, I naturally have my own plans to do it or not, you don't have to provoke me like this! Zhang Jizu's rhetorical questions poked Liu Sisheng's sore spot, and Liu Sisheng also refuted Zhang Jizu with a little excitement.
Zhang Jizu saw Liu Sisheng's reaction, not only did not get angry, but secretly laughed, thinking, "Now you have taken the bait!" Then Zhang Jizu shook his head helplessly and said: "Since this is the case, then I can't force you anymore, I didn't say what I said just now, I just regret Mr. Liu's old books!" After speaking, Zhang Jizu called Ali and turned around without looking back.
Ali looked at Zhang Jizu in surprise, and his eyes seemed to ask: "Young master, just leave like this, what should I do with the case?" ”
Zhang Jizu just laughed but didn't speak, and his steps didn't stop, "Wait!" An expectant voice from Zhang Jizu came.
