Hearing Mi Xue say this, Zhang Lisheng smiled meaninglessly, "Don't worry Mi Xue, I never wanted to live by anyone's deterrent."

Frankly speaking, the only person I am afraid of in this world has been turned into a corpse, lying on a cliff in the western Miao Land of Huaguo Sichuan, and no one can offend me now..."

Mi Xue looked at Zhang Lisheng's confident appearance, and suddenly said with a helpless expression: "You like "The Godfather" very much, don't you?"

"What?"

"The Godfather starring Al Pacino, don't be stupid, every boyfriend of mine will say with the same face you just had, 'If you owe me a favor, you may have to pay it back with dignity,' 'I've learned to be careful in my whole life,' and so on. ”

"No, I'm not imitating anyone..."

"Well, just because I didn't come tonight. Mi Xue pouted and walked out of Zhang Lisheng's room, and before closing the door, she turned her head and said, "But I still have to remind you again, 'A friend who has a plan cannot be called a friend'." ”

Mi Xue's last words obviously came from "The Godfather", but Zhang Lisheng's admonition to her only smiled slightly.

He muttered to himself, "It's not just about George. Then he turned off the light again, climbed into bed, and began to meditate.

The witch insect is no longer usable, and he relies on chanting witch spells to practice, which is as slow as a turtle, but Zhang Lisheng still perseveres, hoping that a drop of water can pierce the stone.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the bell of Lobic Middle School rang 'Woo Woo Hoo...", and the young middle school students bustled and walked out of the classroom.

In the lobby of the teaching building, Zhang Lisheng was waiting alone at the door with a backpack, and after a while, his black friend came to his side.

"Hey, my dull man, how are you doing today?"

"As always, George, shall we go to Du Ze's butcher's shop now?"

"Of course you can if you want," George said as he blended in with Zhang Lisheng, "Are you sure you really want to work there, and you shouldn't be short of pocket money...

Forget it, you're a mystery guy, when I didn't say anything. ”

"Actually, the part-time job is just a front, I just want a little free time. Zhang Lisheng smiled and said half-truthfully.

"So you have to work for two days in a fake way, and prepare for a parent investigation, you are really cunning. George made a look of abrupt realization, and Da Lu said with a smile.

Zhang Lisheng nodded, did not speak, the two had already walked to the shade of the tree where the bicycle was stored, rode the bicycle, and drove towards Du Ze's butcher shop.

It takes a whole block to get from school to butcher's shop, it takes more than 10 minutes to ride a bicycle, and it usually takes longer to drive because of the traffic jam, which is not far or close, just at the tipping point of the word 'nearby'.

Du Ze's butcher shop has just swallowed up a nearby candy store and expanded to ten counters, and it looks like it has become quite large, selling a dazzling array of raw and cooked meats, and the weight that can compete with the big supermarkets is fresh and delicious.

The butcher shop owner, Roki, was a short, middle-aged white man with a big beard, and when he saw the thin Zhang Li applying for a part-time job, he was very dissatisfied and shouted: "George, the work in the store is not easy, and it is annoying enough to have you as an idle little man..."

"Boss, why don't you try if I can do the job you arranged, and then talk about anything else. ”

Luo Ji was choked up by Zhang Lisheng, looked at the thin Chinese teenager in front of him a few times, and ordered directly without nonsense: "Five hundred grams of fresh meat, cut into small pieces, I'll give you a minute." ”

In order to raise poisonous insects, Zhang Lisheng didn't know how many pieces of meat he had cut since he was a child.

Without saying a word, he walked into the counter, washed his hands on the sink behind him, felt a kitchen knife on the knife holder and weighed it, and finally chose a kitchen knife with a straight handle and a long blade.

After that, Zhang Lisheng used a long-bladed kitchen knife to directly cut off a piece of the whole pork loin seemingly at random, and waved the kitchen knife when he said that it was not weighed, and the meat was cut into small pieces of half an inch square with a light action, and the whole process was not even half a minute, which made people feel dazzled.

After cutting the pieces of meat, he wrapped all the pieces of meat and threw them on the electronic scale, which turned out to weigh exactly five hundred grams.

"You, have you ever been a Teppanyaki master in the Himaru Country before?" Roki asked, stammering a little surprised.

"No, I'm Chinese, but I used to cook by myself. ”

"Young man, your knife skills are good, but it's a pity that now we already have a meat processing machine, press the button, you can get..."

"But watching people cut meat and watching machines cut meat feel different for customers, not to mention that I'm just a high school student, and I don't pay well for part-time work. ”

"What's your name?"

"Lisheng.zhang, you can call me Lisheng. ”

"Li Sheng, you are a very smart young man, okay, I will give you twelve, not fifteen yuan an hour, this is the limit I can get out, after all, this is a butcher shop, not a teppanyaki shop.

This price is already twice as much as that of your George friend, and the requirement is that when you work, you must show your superb knife skills whenever you have the opportunity. Seeing that the suppression could not be achieved, Roki said frankly.

"Deal with Mr. Roki. Zhang Lisheng nodded and agreed.

In this way, he became the highest-paid part-time clerk in Du Ze's butcher shop, and after changing into a clean white overalls, he began his part-time career.

Soon, the customers who came to Du Ze's butcher shop to buy raw meat noticed this new thin young man and his wonderful meat cutting skills.

Slowly, the other nine of the ten counters of the butcher shop, the number of people in line became smaller and smaller, and the housewives who were not in a hurry to go home were all lined up in front of Zhang Lisheng's counter, and even the guests who were only going to buy cooked food, a few of them, also lined up to buy raw meat.

Because he was too busy, Zhang Lisheng could only be busy cutting meat without raising his head, and even handed over the weighing work to George to help.

After being busy like this for an hour or two, he was secretly feeling strange, and suddenly heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears, "Mr. clerk, I want five catties of beef ribs, thank you." ”

"Mom, why are you here. Zhang Lisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and asked in surprise.

George on the side also greeted with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Lili." ”

"Hello George. Lili smiled at George, then looked at Zhang Lisheng and said, "Today is your first day of work, of course my mother wants to see if you are used to it." ”

"Ms. Lili, Li Sheng is doing a good job, he has just started working, and his hourly salary is already double that of me. George said with a sigh.

"Really, George, for what?"

"Of course, with clean and neat meat cutting skills, Li Sheng, don't you show it to Ms. Lili. ”

"Practice makes perfect.

Mom, you buy ribs to fry steaks, so why don't I make you a beef soup tonight? Zhang Lisheng said, the kitchen knife in his hand beating lightly, cutting a whole steak into thin strips.

"Baby, you, your knife skills are really professional. Lily said dumbfounded.

Zhang Lisheng wrapped the beef and said with a smile: "I cook soup more professionally than cut meat." ”

As he spoke, there was a protest behind Lili, "Miss, please can you hurry up." ”

"Hi ma'am, the young man who performed the 'meat show' is my son, today is his first day of work, can you please give us mother and son a little more time?" Lily choked back without showing weakness.

"OK, I'm sorry, I don't know. ”

After the protesters apologized helplessly, Lili was embarrassed to take up more time for others, and she said: "Then I'll go first, baby, and I'll have dinner when you get home tonight." He paid and hurriedly walked away with the beef ribs.

Watching Eminem leave, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Lisheng's mouth, and he whispered: "It's going to take so long to get from school to the butcher shop, I don't think my mother will come a second time easily."

If anything, then George, it's up to you to cover it up for me. ”

"That's fine, but man, you're not really, really going to do something illegal, are you?" George whispered with a bitter face.

The longer he was in contact, the more he discovered that the taciturn and seemingly decent thin Chinese teenager next to him seemed to have a complex nature that was diametrically opposed to his appearance.

"You were born in Queens, are you still afraid of breaking the law?" Zhang Lisheng said with a slurred voice as he cut off a pork chop.

Du Ze's butcher shop closes on time at half past six o'clock, plus half an hour of cleaning time, and the part-time hours from Monday to Friday are full, and it is only three hours.

On the first day of construction, Zhang Lisheng insisted on closing time at the end of the day.

"Li Sheng, how did you feel on the first day of work?" After counting the turnover of more than 200 meters more than usual, Luo Ji pulled down the roller shutter door with a smile and asked the new employee who brought him fortune.

"Not bad, Mr. Rocky. ”

"You did the most work today, so you don't have to clean and go home early, I think everyone has no problem with that. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Roki, but it's better to work according to the rules and do enough time. Zhang Lisheng said while carrying his backpack.

"It's really a down-to-earth young man, then you can go and throw away the expired raw meat in the cold storage, this job is the easiest.

It's annoying to say, but after the recent expansion of business, I always can't grasp the amount of purchases, and there is a lot of raw meat left, which is really hell.

George go help your friend, and you're done with it. ”

"It's Mr. Rocky. George lowered his head and pursed his lips, and led Zhang Lisheng into the operation room in the butcher shop.
