Chapter 137: Chicken and Duck Stew
The farmer's market in Tianjiu is surprisingly large, and there are all kinds of goods, whether it is flying in the sky and crawling on the ground, or swimming in the water, as long as it can be on the dinner table, it can be bought here.
Perhaps due to environmental reasons, the East City has banned the sale of live poultry, but the West City has not, and all the vendors have gathered in the West City, filling the major farmers' markets.
Bai Qing grabbed Feng Susu's hand and strolled through the crowd.
Finally, the live poultry section is reached, and the shouts of the vendors make the place lively.
"Live chickens and ducks, kill and sell."
"Domestic chickens, free-range fat ducks, absolutely no feed at all."
……
The two looked at this one, looked at that one, and didn't know how to tell which one was better.
"You choose." Bai Qing said.
This question is a bit of a headache, where will Feng Susu choose, but it is not easy to refuse.
"Boss, is your chicken a native chicken?" Feng Susu asked, pointing to the cage.
"This girl, I see that you are a connoisseur, I am a native, rest assured, from birth to now, it is the first time to stay in the cage, if you don't believe it, I open the cage and it will fly away immediately." In order to win the trust of the two, the boss put his hand on the lid of the cage.
"Let's see." Bai Qing took a closer look at the chicken, his spirit was a little weak, and he was sluggish, if it wasn't for a long time, it might be sick.
"Alas, alas, I said little brother, you can also take a look before leaving, I am all good goods." The boss tried his best to hold back.
The market in this place is not big, but there are not a lot of people, and now it is difficult to do business, and recently the poultry has been infected with diseases, many people are holding the mentality of looking, walking around and seeing, there is no intention to buy at all.
When the boss saw that today's first customer was coming, how could he let it go so easily, and he couldn't wait to hold Bai Qing.
"Big brother, take a look again, my chickens are absolutely not sick." The boss said in almost despair.
"Then let's take another look." Feng Susu suggested.
As soon as the boss saw the beautiful woman next to Bai Qing speak, he immediately put on a smiling face again, and was busy greeting and introducing.
The price was negotiated, the business was finalized, and just as Bai Qing was about to pay, there was a commotion in the distance.
"All poultry are handed over, centralized destruction, recently avian flu is prevalent, please do not buy live poultry, and repeat one side, all poultry are handed in, centralized destruction, recently avian flu is prevalent, please do not buy live poultry."
Several uniformed men, wearing masks on their mouths, held a loudspeaker in their hands, and the loudspeaker kept playing the recording just now.
The people on the street looked over one after another, and a few people who wanted to buy it immediately gave up, who was not afraid of death, and everyone said that there would be bird flu, and the faces of these vendors began to look ugly.
It was originally a small business, and the people at these epidemic prevention stations shouted, which is good, and everyone ran out.
The vendors looked at the staff of the epidemic prevention station, their eyes clicked, and they didn't know what to do.
They were fortunate enough to have bought these live birds from the countryside, and if they turned them in, they would lose all their money.
"Hey, hey, boy, didn't you hear the words from the horn? All these poultry have to be destroyed, how can you still buy them, do you want to die? The uniformed man with a loudspeaker stared at Bai Qing and said.
"I don't want to die, but I want to eat chicken stewed mushrooms today." Bai Qing replied, and kept urging the boss to find money.
The boss had the change in his hand, he didn't know whether to give it or not, and his eyes looked at the big horn man longingly.
"He didn't hear it, you should have heard it, now there are regulations, all poultry are handed over and destroyed, and they can't be traded, otherwise, it's a crime, understand?" The loudspeaker man said to the boss who sold chickens.
"This ...... This ......, then you can't let us all hand it over, how can we calculate our losses. The boss said embarrassedly.
It didn't matter if I said this, all the vendors were thinking about it, and everyone immediately started talking about it.
"That's right, if you say you turn it in, you will hand it in, and if you say you destroy it, you will destroy it, so how can we calculate our losses?" Someone chimed in.
"You can't say that these poultry are sick, they are sick, can you see that you have checked them?"
"If you don't pay it, you must not pay it, otherwise we will lose a lot."
……
The traders were full of righteous indignation, eager to tear these people apart, they had been doing business here for some time, and they had never heard of the centralized destruction of live poultry, and even if there were, they should be notified first, and they should come as they say, and hand them in if they say they will turn them in.
"If you don't cooperate, the police are on the side of the road, if you don't cooperate, if there is any infectious disease, which of you can be responsible."
The loudspeaker was put to his mouth, and the vendors were suddenly dumbfounded.
"Boss, hurry up and find money, I still have to go home, otherwise I won't be able to eat at noon." Bai Qing urged.
The boss still didn't dare to hand the money to Bai Qing, but his eyes kept looking at the loudspeaker.
The people of these epidemic prevention stations were sent by the city today to investigate the poultry trade in Xicheng, but they were not allowed to destroy them in a centralized manner, and they were immediately.
The rights were overused.
The man with the loudspeaker is called Liu Zhigan, but he patted his chest in front of the stationmaster, tomorrow no matter how no chicken, duck and goose can be seen in Xicheng, there is no police on the side of the road, just a small truck parked, and there are several people standing next to the car, waiting to move the chickens, ducks and geese to the car to "destroy".
"Little brother, I still won't sell it, I'll return the money to you now." The chicken seller compromised that he didn't want to be taken into the car by the man in uniform.
"How can this work? We've all said okay, forget it, don't look for money, go, Susu. Bai Qing said.
Feng Susu was about to leave with the cage containing the chicken, but Liu Zhigan chased after him from behind and reached out to grab the chicken cage.
Bai Qing's eyes were fast, and he reached out to block Liu Zhigan's hand.
"What? Do you want to rob? Bai Qing said angrily.
"Young man, do you really want to die? If you really want to die, find a better day, this chicken doesn't know what infectious disease there is, you can take it home and eat it, if something happens, who is responsible. Liu Zhigan said.
"I don't seem to have to worry about my affairs, does my life or death have anything to do with you? Look at it, a good market has been messed up by you, who would dare to come here to buy something. Bai Qing said with a smile.
"I don't care what you think, you can't take this chicken away today, I've received an order that all the poultry here must be destroyed." Liu Zhigan said firmly, with a hint of decisiveness in his eyes.
If anyone wants to eat chickens, ducks and geese, they will have to wait until the limelight passes.
But Bai Qing couldn't wait, he promised Feng Susu that he must eat chicken today, then he must eat it.
"What if I'm going to take it literally?" A cold light shot out of Bai Qing's eyes, and he said coldly.
"If you really want to take it, then you must be held responsible, unauthorized consumption of poultry suspected of carrying avian influenza, if you are infected, then the people around you may be infected, I am afraid that it will not be long before more people will be infected, can you bear this responsibility?" Liu Zhigan was alarmist.
As soon as the vendors saw that there was a conflict here, they didn't care about any business anymore, they just hoped that this young man would not be repaired by this group.
"My own life, I am responsible for myself, I don't need others to guide me," Bai Qing looked at the sky, the sun had reached the top of his head, "Okay, I'm going back, I won't talk to you anymore." ”
Bai Qing raised his legs to leave, and the two people beside Liu Zhigan saw Liu Zhigan's eyes, and stepped forward to grab the chicken coop in Fengsu.
Smack, smack.
No one of the three people was slapped in the face, and Bai Qing suddenly made a move, catching them off guard.
They want to maintain their image, and they want to convince the citizens with their tall image, so they don't do it first.
Now that they have been attacked, they are going to fight back.
"Go and send him to the police station." Li Zhigang tore off the mask on his face and roared angrily.
The two were gearing up, but before they could make a move, the vendors collectively shouted.
"Beat people, beat people, people at the epidemic prevention station beat people."
"Come and see, I'm going to take a picture of this and post it online."
"That's it, I'm going to call the police and arrest them all."
Liu Zhigan panicked, if the media knew, then as soon as it was exposed, he took a picture of the basket poked out of his chest in front of the stationmaster.
"Come back, let's go, count you as good, but I won't let you go, just wait." Liu Zhigan said fiercely.
With the two of them, he walked to the small truck parked on the side of the road, and roared a few times.
After they left, there was a round of applause in the market, and everyone was applauding Bai Qing and themselves.
Bai Qing took the chicken cage from Feng Sudi's hand and turned back to the chicken seller.
"Boss, the chickens you sold me won't really be sick." Bai Qing asked.
The chicken seller said with a sad face: "Big brother, you also believe what those people say, you look at how energetic my chickens are, they just want to get some oil and water from us, if they don't give some benefits, they come almost every once in a while, what bird flu, there is nothing at all." ”
"Oh," Bai Qing seemed to understand, "that can't really be sick." ”
Bai Qing was very worried, he couldn't let Feng Susu eat a sick chicken.
"Big brother, if you don't believe me, you can ask your peers here, they all know best."
The other vendors nodded in agreement.
Indeed, what the chicken seller boss said was not bad at all, they only came to collect some benefits under the guise of it, but everyone's resistance had an effect, but they knew that Liu Zhigan would not give up so easily.
Bai Qing understood now, but he couldn't help it, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
"Let's go." Bai Qing said.
The two didn't take a few steps, and the face of a person in front of them seemed to be somewhat familiar, Bai Qing never looked at the wrong person, he knew this person.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Bai Qing walked up to a duck seller and said.
The duck seller was excited for a while, and after saying a few words in his mouth, he calmed down his excitement and said: "Xiaobai, it's really you, I saw you just now, I was a little familiar, I didn't expect it to be really you, why are you here?" ”
"It's me, it's me." Bai Qing also looked a little excited.
"Since you met, that's fate, you must bring this duck back to eat today, my duck has no problem at all." The duck seller picked out a fat and big duck from the cage and said.
Feng Susu looked at Bai Qing, and then looked at the dirty duck seller, how could he not understand that Bai Qing could still meet acquaintances here.
"Okay, so I can make my favorite chicken and duck stew." Feng Susu said happily.
