In Bianjing City, there is an alley called Pig Killing Alley.

Very domineering name.

This pig killing alley is also the concentration of pig killing workshops, every day from morning to night, there are more than 10,000 fat pigs killed here.

Five watches.

Originally, this was supposed to be the busiest time of the Pig Killing Alley, but today, this alley is unusually deserted, with only a few scattered butchers and a few guys busy opening.

The people who came to buy the meat were amazed.

Could it be the plague?

For a while, people were panicked.

Knock knock!

While Li Qi was still asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

Li Qi subconsciously shouted, opened his eyes with difficulty, saw that it was still dark outside the window, and said depressedly: "It's not dawn yet, who is knocking on the door?" ”

"Master Li, it's me."

Lady Chen's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, it's Aunt Chen, what's the matter?" Li Qi rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Madame told you to go to the front yard at once."

Madam?

Li Qi wondered, "What time is it?" ”

"Just after the fifth watch, the shopkeeper Wu also came."

Lao Wu is also here? Something can't be wrong, right?

Li Qi's face tightened, and he was completely sleepy, and replied, "I know, you go and sue Mrs. Sù, and I will come immediately." ”

After a brief wash, Li Qi rushed to the front yard, where Mrs. Qin and Wu Furong were sitting inside, both of them looking extremely anxious.

"Li Gongzi, you're here. Hey? What's wrong with your face? ”

Wu Furong saw Li Qi coming, hurriedly walked over, and suddenly saw three deep red marks on Li Qi's forehead, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Uh, cat scratch." Li Qi said that yesterday, in the big battle between him and Feng Yinu, he was defeated and fled in the end. The three red marks on his face were quite light, if Wu Furong saw the spider web-like, criss-crossing scars on Li Qi's arms. I guess I'll be taken aback.

The price to pay for is too great.

Li Qi thought that he would have to see the Feng slave later, but he had a headache, and he didn't think about it, and said, "That's right." Uncle Wu, did something happen to you when you came here so late? ”

Wu Furong was slightly stunned, slapped his thigh suddenly, lowered his head and said, "Li Gongzi." Something is wrong? ”

Li Qi was taken aback by Wu Furong's action, and said in surprise: "What's the big deal?" Gone water? ”

Wu Furong shook his head and said in horror: "Now there is no meat to buy in the entire Bianjing City. ”

"No meat to buy?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Uncle Wu, you make it clear, what is no meat to buy?" ”

Wu Furong shuddered a few times. "Here's the thing. Originally, during the fourth watch, the Zheng butcher and several other butchers would send meat to the drunken immortal residence, but today the fourth watch day has passed, but no one has come to the door, and the uncle who guards the door is a little strange when he sees this. So he told the sixth son about this, and the sixth son went to the butcher Zheng to take a look. What's wrong with you, it turns out that his meat there has long been sold out. Not only that, but now there is no pork or mutton in the entire market. ”

Pork and lamb are the most popular meats today!

Richie froze. After a long while, he said: "You mean, you can't find a piece of pork in the entire Bianjing City?" ”

Wu Furong nodded and said, "I have already sent six sons and them everywhere to find out the news." ”

"Richie, this is too strange." Mrs. Qin frowned slightly.

"That's what Madame said."

Li Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "There must be a demon when things go wrong, this thing is definitely not so simple." ”

Wu Furong said: "Do you suspect that Jade Xuan is a ghost?" ”

Li Qi nodded, frowned, and said, "But how can he eat such a large piece of meat, it's impossible." Let's wait for the six sons to come. ”

Now he is also confused here, so he can't think of any way to deal with it.

Wu Furong was even more anxious to pace around, it was dawn soon, if he couldn't get pork and mutton, it would be a problem to open today.

After about half an hour, Liuzi and Chen Anan finally came.

"Brother Li, it's not good, something is wrong."

This Wu Xiaoliu rushed in in a hurry, and he didn't care about any etiquette, and shouted loudly.

Li Qi frowned slightly, and said, "Slow down, what's going on?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu gasped and said, "Then Cai Yuanwai bought all the meat." ”

"What?"

All three were shocked.

Li Qi frowned and said, "How is this possible, how can he have so much silver, this is not a small amount." ”

"It's true."

Chen Anan was also full of panic, and said: "Jade Xuan, together with Pan Lou, Yang Lou, Lion Building, and other twenty big restaurants, have taken away all the pork and mutton that can be bought in the market. ”

Wu Xiaoliu nodded hurriedly and said: "And I also heard that they have signed contracts with most of the butchers to buy their meat for the next two months, and also, what contracts have the four largest butchers in our capital also signed with them, I don't know the specifics, anyway, they are not allowed to sell meat to us, otherwise these restaurants will not buy meat from them." ”

Then Wu Xiaoliu told Li Qi in detail about the news he had inquired about.

The situation was even more dire than Leach had imagined.

Today's meat market, in addition to the palace, is probably three sales channels, one of which is those dignitaries and dignitaries, they have their own special cooks at home, this part of the meat, basically fixed, no one dares to pay attention to this aspect; The second is the restaurant, which is the main channel, because now everyone does not cook at home, they generally go to the restaurant to eat, and some of the nearby foot shops buy meat directly from the restaurant, so the daily amount of meat required by the restaurant is very huge, and Cai Minde and others took away this part of the meat. Third, that is, a small number of ordinary people's homes, most of them are still some small vendors, like those who sell steamed buns, this part is almost negligible.

Although there are now large-scale pig farms and pastures, the situation is turbulent in the past few years, the market price of grain is also extremely unstable, there are many natural disasters, and the relationship between butchers and restaurants is dominated by restaurants. Therefore, the restaurant side is reluctant to sign those very strict contracts with the butchers, and they generally choose the best and who has the cheaper price. The better the quality of the meat, use whoever has it.

The so-called cooperative relationship is only a verbal promise, and in the past, those butchers rushed to the restaurant to fight for business.

And Cai Minde is taking advantage of this loophole. Suddenly, he united with a large number of restaurants to grab all the pork and mutton that could be purchased on the market, like the meat on the mansions of dignitaries, he naturally didn't dare to move.

He didn't dare to move. Naturally, the Drunken Immortal Residence did not dare to move.

Pork and mutton are the most popular among guests today, and if there is not even a piece of mutton in Zuixianju, it will only be closed.

As soon as Cai Minde came up, he directly made a killing move, which really caught Li Qi off guard.

But what makes Li Qi curious is that with so much meat, even if so many restaurants are united, it is difficult to guarantee that the meat will be sold out every day. If you can't sell it. Not to mention two months, in one month, Jade Xuan will have to go bankrupt, let alone other restaurants.

"How can it be justified? I didn't expect that Yang Lou's old man was actually a white-eyed wolf, thinking about the beginning. When Jade Xuan robbed him of his business, we still helped him. And now, he has joined forces with Cai Lao Fox to deal with us. It's so damning. Wu Furong heard that Yang Lou was also involved, and he was so angry that his whole body trembled.

Mrs. Qin was also very annoyed, the relationship between Drunken Xianju and Yang Lou had always been good, but she never thought that Yang Lou would actually beat her upside down, got up and said, "I'll go to him to reason." ”

Reasoning? There is no reason to do business.

Li Qi hurriedly stopped: "Madam, you don't need to worry, it must be Jade Xuan who gave Yang Lou some benefits, so he would do this, if you ask him to reason, you will only bring humiliation on yourself." ”

I have to say that Cai Minde's trick is indeed a beautiful game, not to mention being able to unite so many restaurants in such a short period of time to fight against Drunken Xianju, and to be able to sign a good contract with the butcher so quickly, which is really incredible.

"Master Li, why don't you go and ask the old man to come forward." Wu Furong said.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Taishi Cai may still hope that the Drunken Immortal Residence will be closed now, so that I can cook for him, besides, in terms of business, let's ask him to help, what is it." ”

Wu Furong hurriedly said: "These don't work, that doesn't work, so how can we be good!" There's no meat, so I think we're in business. ”

Mrs. Qin said, "Why don't we wait for two months before we open our doors for business?" ”

This lady has some bad ideas.

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "In this way, it is better to sell the Drunken Immortal Residence directly." ”

"Then Li Gongzi, do you have a good plan?" Wu Furong asked expectantly.

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it is absolutely impossible to suspend business." As he spoke, he asked Wu Xiaoliu again, "What is the price of pork in the market today?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu stretched out two fingers and said, "It's almost one hundred and fifty wen." But that bit of meat is not enough for us. ”

Li Qi sighed lightly and said, "Then do you know how high the price of Jade Xuan is to buy pork?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu said: "I heard that Zheng butcher say that it is one hundred and ten wen. ”

"This is five cents lower than the previous price, presumably those butchers saw Cai Minde and they sold so much meat at once, and gave him a preferential price."

Li Qi pondered for a while, and then said, "Did Fan Lou get involved?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem to be, I just went to Fanlou to sneak around, and I heard from their bartender there that the meat in their store was still delivered on time, but not more than usual." ”

"It seems that Fan Lou did not join forces with Fei Fei Xuan, and Fei Fei Xuan is also taking advantage of this to show favor to Fan Lou and did not rob it of its business."

Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "It seems that this is the only good news tonight." ”

If Fan Lou joins forces with Jade Xuan again, then the situation is really not good.

"Good news?"

Wu Furong jumped up anxiously and said, "Gongzi Li, you are still in the mood to take care of Fan Lou, what do we have to do now?" ”

Li Qi thought for a while, smiled, and said, "Since we can't buy meat, let's be vegetarian, at present, we first have to figure out, how did Jade Xuan sell so much meat." As he spoke, he said to Mrs. Qin, "Madam, please write a few words." ”

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment and said, "What word?" ”

The corners of Li Qi's mouth lifted and said, "The first cake in the world." (To be continued......)
