Chapter 22 Supermarkets and Buying Meat
"The recipe is done.."
Walk through the streets and alleys.
Zhao Zhong glanced at his mobile phone, thought about it, and took out 10,000 yuan from a bank ATM on the side of the road.
Bang Bang
The coins reverberate, and a hundred red tickets were counted out of the ATM.
Zhao Zhong took it out, a little, and after checking it, he pulled it with both hands, and separated the two stacks, one more and one less, and put them in his left and right pockets respectively, ready for emergencies.
"The formula that the old gentleman prepared and researched for me estimated that a lot of Chinese medicinal materials would be needed, which was all money and needed to be returned. Moreover, there is no settlement of the matter of medicinal diet, and I don't know if it can be done. It's all where money is spent.."
Zhao Zhong took the money, and not long after leaving the ATM, he went to a three-story supermarket again, wanting to buy some beef and let the old gentleman make it.
It's just that as soon as he walked into the supermarket, he saw a dazzling array of goods, and the customers who came and went couldn't even find a place to sell meat.
"This supermarket is quite big, if you are not familiar with it, it is estimated that it will take you a long time to find it.."
After Zhao Zhong saw it, he walked to a shelf, asked the salesman, where the beef was sold, and under the guidance of the salesperson, turned left and right, and after getting on the two-story elevator, he came to the third floor of the supermarket similar to the vegetable market.
But it's not the same as the noisy wet market. The supermarket on the third floor is very clean and there is no noise. On the left, there is a special meat seller, sixty or seventy fresh-keeping counters, serialized together, fish, shrimp, pigs, cattle and sheep, as long as it is usually listed in the recipe of meat.
"There's not even a counteroffer in the vegetable market, I'm really not used to it.."
When Zhao Zhong saw it, he felt that it was so quiet and clean here, not to mention the counter-offer, just the price of meat here was estimated to be less expensive than the vegetable market.
But then, when he thought that he was rich now, he put his mind down.
"Make more money, and there will be no trouble.."
After Zhao Zhong touched the big red ticket in his pocket, he was sure in his heart, left the elevator entrance, walked more than ten meters to the left, and came to the counter in the middle.
This is the beef specialty, with more than a dozen fresh-keeping cabinets connected together, and four or five meat cutters wearing white coats and handbag film gloves stand behind them.
"Cut fifty pounds of beef tendons, not boneless, just meat."
When he looked at the large piece of beef with bones and meat in the crisper, he asked the meat cutter with a big waist and a round waist to pick the thin cuts without bones.
"Sir, beef tendons are expensive."
The meat cutter was holding a knife in his hand, and although his face was full of meat, his voice was very small, "And you just want meat, and the price is expensive." ”
"It's okay, just do as I say, and I don't want you." After Zhao Zhong saw the embarrassed appearance of the meat cutter, he laughed and made a selection, and asked the meat cutter to pick the lean meat cut.
"Okay.." After hearing this, the meat cutter thought that Zhao Zhong was a logistics staff member in the police station, and after the reimbursement was reported by the police station, he did not hesitate to pick the place where Zhao Zhong pointed and went under the knife.
Click—
Five or six minutes, after the sound of a meal of knives and bones cutting meat, the beef was cut, and the meat cutter used a large black plastic bag to cover a full six layers.
"Sir, fifty-one pounds is more, count you fifty pounds. Tags for you, a total of 1715. You just have to go to the ground floor to pay. He said, pointing to the black bag and walking out of the counter, "It's a little heavy, I'll carry it downstairs for you." ”
"No, I don't. It's good that you're busy. Zhao Zhong saw that after the meat cutter walked out of the counter, he scooped his hand to the counter and lifted the bag of fifty catties at once. It doesn't look like a lot of effort at all.
"Sir, you have great strength!"
When the meat cutter saw it, he sighed in admiration, grinned and did not speak again.
"Eat more meat, exercise more, and increase your strength." After Zhao Zhong replied, he got off the elevator with the bag in one hand.
But although he went down the stairs and left the third floor, when the meat cutters at the other counters saw Zhao Zhong's relaxed appearance, they felt that although this police officer was not too strong, his strength was much greater than that of the people who often cut meat and ate meat.
"I thought that this police officer would ask Lao Zhang to help him carry it down, and after settling the bill, he put it in the car, but I didn't expect this police officer to pick it up himself.."
Several meat cutters looked at Zhao Zhong's back in their hearts. After all, it is not impossible for people to buy fifty catties of beef at one time, but it is indeed rare for one person to buy it, especially if it is still a police officer.
So, they can't help but have nothing to do and pay more attention. I thought the officer was going to send them and ask them to help carry them.
"Fifty pounds of things for me to lift, I guess I can't go far before I have to rest, slow down. And that's not even counting the bag. The master who helped Zhao Zhong cut the meat, after seeing Zhao Zhong get off the elevator, immediately took off the film gloves on his hand and went to the water pipe to wash his hands.
Whoop—
But when the water pipe was opened and the sound of running water sounded, I could see that when his sleeves were pulled up, some tattoos and knife marks were revealed on his arms, which did not look like what a meat cutter should have.
And the rest of the meat cutters next to him saw it, but they were not surprised, but one of the meat cutters smiled and joked to him: "Lao Zhang, you have a scar tattoo on your body, and you are still wearing long sleeves in summer, if it weren't for the air conditioning in our supermarket, I'm afraid it would give you a prickly heat."
"you, rat, don't talk if you can't speak!"
After Lao Zhang heard the meat cutter's joke, he scolded with a smile and touched the scar on his arm, as if he was recalling something, "Brother Nan gave me a job, I didn't change my ways, I was afraid of wearing short sleeves, and after revealing my experience in the early years, I was afraid of scaring the guests." Besides, this scar is also for you to block, otherwise it will cut off your idiot's head. ”
Lao Zhang said, after looking at the clean supermarket, and then at the cold wind sent overhead, he said to the meat cutter nicknamed 'Mouse': "If it wasn't for Lao Tzu a few years ago, you wouldn't be able to sell meat today, and you wouldn't be able to blow the air conditioner."
Lao Zhang's words revealed a sigh, as if there were many stories.
But before he could remember more, when he talked to the 'mouse' again, with a "boss cut some meat", when he saw another guest coming to the elevator, he hurriedly put away the joke, and replaced it with that whisper, looking like a simple meat cutter.
But.
Through their conversations, it can also be seen that this supermarket is not like a regular supermarket, but like a retirement department of a community.
But when he came to the first floor, Zhao Zhong, who was waiting in line to check out, didn't know this scene.
Now, he only knows that he has spent a small two thousand just to buy meat, and he has not said anything about other Chinese medicines.
"Although the meat here is a few cents cheaper than the market, it still costs nearly two thousand for fifty catties. I don't know if the old gentleman can make it into medicinal dry goods. If you can't, just cook some and eat it first."
