Chapter 229: The butcher shop in the alley

"Then you haven't considered changing places?" asked Gu Yue.

"No, my business is not like theirs, I have regular customers, and the big restaurant three streets away buys goods from me every day, and my business has little impact. The boss said with a cheerful smile.

"Then how much meat do you have here?" I have covered it all!" Gu Yue said to the boss with a smile.

"Brother, what are you buying so much meat for? You also run a restaurant? It doesn't look like it. The boss said this, and looked Gu Yue up and down and asked.

"Hehe, big brother, don't you remember me? Gu Yue said to the boss with a smile.

This boss is wearing loose pants, a pair of rubber shoes on his feet, a wide leather apron around his bare upper body, his hair is messy and unkempt, his face is long and curly, and there are a few rice grains hanging on it, which are left over from breakfast, and the cigarette in his mouth is not a little ash floating down on the meat on the meat case, which makes people feel very unhygienic when they look at it, this appearance was immediately recognized by Gu Yue from a distance, this boss is the owner of the butcher shop who scared Li Chen away back then.

At that time, Gu Yue was beaten by Li Chen and them in this alley, at that time Gu Yue remembered that it was this butcher shop owner who opened the door and carried a knife to scare Li Chen's gang away and help himself up, although Li Chen and they did not cause much harm to Gu Yue at that time, but Gu Yue still remembered this boss very much in his heart, and was still very grateful that he was willing to stand up and help him at that time, Gu Yue ran away without saying anything because he was in a bad mood, and this time he came here and saw this boss Gu Yue and stopped.

"Are you ......?" it has been so many years since the butcher shop owner had obviously forgotten Gu Yue and the little thing back then.

Gu Yue looked at the boss and said with a smile: "When I was in school, I was surrounded by many people here, and when I was beaten, you came out to drive them away, and they saved me." ”

"Oh...... I'm sorry I forgot, but over the years, there have been fewer people here and it has slowly become deserted, and there are always some little hooligans who come here to fight, and I drove too many away hehe. The boss smiled honestly, his butcher shop used to be facing the gate of a farmer's market, when the business was booming, the traffic here was very lively, and then the farmer's market was demolished and covered with a high office building, the road in front of his door was not wide and completely turned into the back alley of the building, usually not to mention that the car could not enter, the larger tricycle seemed crowded. Such an alley usually does not come to people, of course, it has become a necessary place for some thugs to fight and bully, and the boss will drive away several groups of thugs who fight here every month.

"Big brother, you are a busy person, of course you don't remember me as a child, I saw you come to say thank you today, I have all the meat you have here, and by the way, thank you for saving me back then." Gu Yue smiled and said to the boss, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, of course he remembered that the boss helped him back then, he didn't see it before, but now that he saw Gu Yue, he will definitely want to repay others.

It's really strange today, not only did I meet Li Chen, but the butcher shop owner also saw it, Gu Yue thought to herself.

"Hey, no need. If you want to thank me, you don't have to, you don't have to take such a small thing to heart. It's useless for you to buy so much meat, there's no need to waste it, if you really want to repay me, study hard and be a useful person to society, just don't make trouble all day long like those little hooligans. The boss waved his hand to decline Gu Yue's kindness.

"Boss, you misunderstood, I didn't buy these meats just to repay you, to tell you the truth, I was responsible for purchasing in a school canteen, and I just bought the meat you sold here, and the meat would not be wasted. Gu Yue explained to the boss that although he didn't tell the truth, it was really useful to buy these meats.

"Haha, that's the case, then you sit here for a while and I'll wrap it up for you. The boss said this, Gu Yue laughed, took out the oil-stained chair behind him, let Gu Yue sit down, and he began to get busy packing Gu Yue.

"Boss, how much meat do you have here? Gu Yue asked curiously.

"On this end, my business is small, every day to kill and sell to ensure fresh, every day to sell a head I will close the stall, can not buy can only come again tomorrow, today just opened the door you came, it seems that I today the stall is going to be early hehe. The boss chatted with Gu Yue while he was busy: "By the way, where do you usually buy meat?" There are some black-hearted shopkeepers in the general market whose meat is not good, don't be deceived, I think you will always buy it from me in the future, and I guarantee that you can buy it with confidence and eat it with peace of mind." ”

"Hmm...... Actually, I'm not from the city, I used to buy from us. Gu Yue was asked by the boss for a while, and he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't keep coming here in the future, so he said that he was from another city.

"Ah, then why did you come to us to buy it this time?" the boss looked at Gu Yue with some confusion.

"Alas, in fact, I didn't mainly come to buy meat this time, I have a friend who has something to do, and now no one can find him, I am looking for him from city to city, I have been looking for several cities to come here, I have always felt a little guilty in my heart, I did not help my friend when he needed me the most, and I always felt very sorry for him. Gu Yue didn't know why he told the boss about Chen Lei, as if he had an indescribable sense of intimacy in his heart when he saw this boss.

"Oh...... Actually, you don't have to blame yourself too much, maybe your friends don't blame you at all. If he knew that you had worked so hard to find him, he would be very happy. Sometimes there will be some misunderstandings between friends, but as long as they treat each other sincerely, even if they never see each other again, they will always remember each other in their hearts. I'm sure you'll find your friend to help him through this. The boss hesitated when he heard Gu Yue's words and persuaded Gu Yue.

"I see, thank you boss. Gu Yue knew that she shouldn't tell her boss this, after all, she didn't need to know about her own affairs, and she couldn't help herself, Gu Yue just wanted to say it to vent her anxious emotions, and quickly stopped the topic.

"Alright, it's all wrapped up for you. How do you take it, do you want me to find a car to help you send it over?" The boss had already packed all the things at this time, and seeing that Gu Yue had no means of transportation, he wanted to close the store door and help Gu Yue deliver it.

"Oh no, thank you I'll just do it myself. Gu Yue hurriedly thanked the boss and stepped forward to pick up the big bag of several hundred catties.
