Chapter 14 Visiting the County (Asking for Recommendations)
After breakfast early in the morning, I rode a Wulin three-wheeled motorcycle, and after nearly two hours of travel, I rushed to Wu Dao, the county seat, and turned around the county seat without looking closely when I came back. Finally, he drove the car to the county farmers' market, where he was going to sell nearly 200 catties of wild boar on his motorcycle.
Although the price of this wild boar meat will be higher if it is sold to a hotel in the county seat, Wu Dao, who has not returned for a few years, is not interested in going to the hotel to sell this wild boar at all, and it is better to sell it cheaply to those dealers who specialize in wild meat in the farmers' market. Moreover, Wu Dao knew very well that his nearly 200 catties of wild boar meat would be worth a lot of money even if he sold it to dealers.
At this time, the farmers' market was past the time to sell vegetables in the morning, and there were not many people buying and selling vegetables in the market, so Wu Dao easily drove the tricycle into the market. After a turn, I parked the tricycle in front of a stall that seemed to be thriving for the purchase and sale of game.
The cupboard of this stall is full of game produced in the nearby mountains, but more of it is ordinary game such as pheasants and hares, and some wild meat banned in some countries is still rarely seen. But standing at the door for a while, I looked at the wild meat purchased by the stall owner, and it was obvious that some of it was banned by the state.
Even Wu Dao could feel that the stall owner was looking at him a little evasive when he was buying those wild meats. If it weren't for Wu Dao not opening his mouth, it is estimated that the stall owner would have opened his mouth to drive people away.
After the stall owner put the monkey that belonged to the national second-class protected animal in the back warehouse if Wu Dao was not mistaken, the stall owner stepped forward with a smile and said, "Little brother, what do you want to buy?" ”
Perhaps because he has been engaged in business for a long time, Wu Dao does not look like an authentic rural person, so the stall owner still thinks that Wu Dao is a big customer who has come to buy something.
Wu Dao didn't hide his intentions from the stall owner's inquiry, and he didn't have any thoughts about the scene just now. Of course, he understands some of the thoughts of rich people these days.
It won't be long before this precious monkey gets into the stomach pouch of the rich after it is bought by these vendors. Even if you have the public morality to report, this stall will only be fined a little money at most, and it will be accepted after a period of time.
Wu Dao naturally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, so he told the boss that he had nearly 200 catties of mountain boar for sale. The boss of this monkey spirit suddenly said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Where is it?" ”
Wu Dao took the boss to his tricycle, pulled open the wrapped boar meat and said: "This is the first nearly three hundred catties of boar, I keep dozens of catties for myself, and I will pull over the rest to see if it is good to sell, if the price is right, I will sell it all to you." If the price is too low, then I'll wait and pull it back to make cured meat and eat it slowly. Seeing that the boss has been doing this business for a long time, you just give a real price, I will sell it if I can sell it, and I will pull it away if I can't sell it! ”
Although Wu Dao plans to use the money from selling wild boar meat to buy a refrigerator from the county to bring back, if the price is too low, Wu Dao will definitely not sell it. For cultivators, eating more of this pure wild game can still help improve the quality of the flesh. It's just that the effect is not very obvious, but it is still a hundred times better than those carnivores that are grown with feed.
The boss saw this large piece of wild boar, and it has been difficult to buy such a large boar with the ban on hunting over the years. In addition, in this market, the market of wild boar is bullish, as long as you have wild boar, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell. Although there are now artificial breeding, the wild boar that is artificially bred cannot be compared with this pure wild taste.
Seeing that Wu Dao seemed to be a little stunned, the boss knew that people with this kind of surname were very likely to turn around and leave if they couldn't say it well. The boss who hasn't received the boar for a while naturally has to think carefully about how to open this price.
In order to find out the truth of Wu Dao, the boss handed over a cigarette with a smile and said: "Little brother smokes a cigarette, your boar is a good thing, can you tell me what you caught there." These days, it's rare to see such a big boar! ”
Wu Dao shook his head to indicate that he was not smoking, and also replied: "I see that the boss didn't ask where he came from when he received things just now!" How did you get to me, the boss still has to ask the origin of this boar. Could it be that my boar is not the real thing? ”
The boss who was blocked was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled: "Little brother is serious, my old man is just a little curious." Since the little brother is so direct, then I will give you a sincere price, and I will accept forty-five pounds of wild boar. ”
Forty-five pounds, Wu Dao thought about it, and the nearly two hundred pounds also had an income of nearly ten thousand, but when he came, he also heard that this wild boar meat could be sold for nearly fifty-one pounds in the market.
For this reason, he was a little unhappy and said: "Boss Ren seems to not want to do my business, and the wild boar meat in this market has been sold for fifty." I don't want to talk about the quality of this boar, I'm afraid that such a large boar is not common in the market! Besides, I'll wash and kill it for you, and you can just put it in the stall and sell it. This pound earns me five yuan, is the boss a little too ruthless! ”
Seeing that Wu Dao was a little dissatisfied with the price he offered, Boss Ren smiled bitterly: "Little brother, this is not bad, but this boar can only be sold at a price of fifty on the New Year's Day, and it is usually forty-seven or eight at most." The price I gave you is already very high, or I will raise it by five yuan a pound, which can be regarded as making a friend. In the future, the little brother has good goods, and he can contact me at any time. How is it? ”
Seeing that the boss seemed to have reached the limit, Wu Dao didn't say anything, and took a business card with only his name and phone number handed over by the boss and put it in his pocket. Turning around, he moved the wild boar meat to the weighing pan next to the stall, and looked at the quantity, which was no different from the one he weighed at home. felt that this boss was doing business fairly, and quickly settled the cash with him.
Looking at the more than 9,000 yuan of red tickets, Wu Dao felt that the harvest was not bad, with these more than 9,000 yuan, he thought that there was still a surplus to buy a refrigerator for his family. Thinking that there was no water heater for bathing at home, Wu Dao considered whether to find a home that sells solar energy to install it at home. In this way, when the weather is cold, there is no need to boil water to bathe at home.
After loading the money and having a conversation with the chattering boss, Wu Dao rode a tricycle to the commercial street of the county seat to purchase the refrigerator and water heater he wanted. In the end, it cost nearly 8,000 yuan to settle the things in an e-commerce company, and the other party promised to install it in his village within two days. In this regard, Wu Dao paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan and left the e-commerce bank in a chic manner.
In order to treat stomach problems for his parents, Wu Dao also needed to go to the county pharmacy to purchase some Chinese medicinal materials, as a county near Yunling Mountain, Chinese medicinal materials would naturally not be scarce, and he spent hundreds of yuan to buy medicinal materials for conditioning and several medicinal materials that he liked. Wu Daocai remembered that after a few laps, he hadn't even eaten lunch!
Remembering that when he used to go to the snack bar near the school when he was in high school in the county seat, Wu Dao wanted to see if this small shop was still there. Instead, he rode a tricycle to the county No. 1 middle school where his sister Wu Ting is also studying, and when he arrived near the restaurant, he saw that the 'old altar noodle restaurant' really still existed.
After finding a parking spot and putting the tricycle, Wu Dao walked into this noodle restaurant that looked a little old with nostalgia. Seeing that there were still many customers waiting to eat noodles after the meal in the noodle restaurant, Wu Dao felt that the place he was looking for to eat was really good.
'Lao Tan, come to a bowl of fried fish noodles, put more chili peppers and less coriander. ’
Wu Dao, who walked into the noodle restaurant, stared at Lao Tan, the owner of the noodle restaurant, who was frying noodles with a smile on his face, and shouted, this sentence is a common phrase that Wu Dao has said here more than 100 times in the past three years in high school.
Sure enough, Lao Tan, who was frying noodles, heard Wu Dao's shout, and was stunned for a long time and said, "Are you a little Taoist?" ”
Belch! I'll go!
It seems that his nickname is not only known to everyone in the village, but there are still people who dare to love in this county!
Wu Dao was very depressed and said: "Uncle Tan, I am in my twenties, is the title of this little Taoist priest changed!" ”
Seeing that Wu Dao was really a graduate student who was impressive to him, Lao Tan turned over the wok and said to himself: "Yes! Your kid has graduated for five or six years, and it's really not appropriate to call you a little Taoist, so I'll call you a Taoist from now on! What do you kid think? ”
Get! The little Taoist priest is replaced by a Taoist priest, isn't this still a Taoist priest?
Fortunately, Wu Dao understands that his identity as a cultivator can also be called a cultivator in a sense. It seems that there is some truth in calling oneself a Taoist priest!
Wu Dao, who was entangled for a while, said helplessly: "What do you call your old love!" But don't forget to fry me well, or be careful I won't pay the bill! ”
Regarding Wu Dao's vernacular, Lao Tan smiled and put the fried noodles on the plate and replied: "It's okay, I haven't seen you for a few years, and it's rare to come once, please eat some noodles and I'll invite you." Find a place to sit first, I still have two guests waiting to eat noodles, and I'll fry them for you. ”
Maybe it's because the small shop is opened near the school, and Lao Tan also values the students who graduated from this high school, plus Wu Dao spent a lot of his time eating out in this shop during his high school years. So that the friendship between the two is not bad, and Lao Tan naturally doesn't care about Wu Dao's joke of eating noodles without paying.
Wu Dao, who found a place to sit in the store, looked at the small shop that had not changed much in the past five years, and felt that this time had passed really fast. I really admire the persistence of this old altar, because he knows very well that this old altar is a real chef-level cattle.
When he was in this high school, he met the owners of those provincial hotels no less than three times and asked him to be the chef of the mountain, but in the end he was rejected by Lao Tan, preferring to stay in this small restaurant as a small boss. In this regard, Wu Dao, who was studying, guessed what special hardships this capable but hidden chef had, staying next to this school and guarding such a small shop.
