Chapter 012: The butcher's heart is very dark
In a dark corner, Liu Xing also saw loaches and yellow eels.
The price is also between three cents and five cents, which is not much different from the price of a snail.
However, this is the retail price, which is not comparable to the wholesale price.
And there are very few people who buy it.
Liu Xing wrote down everything he saw in his heart, and was about to take the black calf to the innermost part to take a look, but found that the black calf behind him couldn't walk, and he was still eating a large pile of vegetable leaves thrown by several traffickers on the side of the road.
It turned out that in this Donghe vegetable market, cabbage and other vegetables were not easy to sell, and many of them were rotten. But for the black calf, it is the best food.
The greengrocers saw that the black calf liked to eat rotten leaves, and in order to save time for cleaning, they threw all the rotten leaves thrown in the corner at the feet of the black calf.
For a while, it turned out to be a small mountain.
Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head, but he didn't pull the black calf away, but stood aside and watched.
In his memory, in the 80s, there was no special cleaning for the vegetable market, let alone any sanitation fee, and if he wanted to keep the vegetable market clean and hygienic, only these vegetable sellers could clean it themselves.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Because the vegetable market is full of people, if there is no special person in charge of hygiene, how can hygiene be better.
Take the current Donghe vegetable market as an example, the hygiene can be said to be dirty and messy compared to a few decades later.
However, Liu Xing didn't care at all, because he knew that with the changes of the times, these small problems would be solved soon.
Seeing that the black calf had almost eaten, his stomach was round, and he continued to walk towards the vegetable market.
The further you go inside, the fewer people there are.
There are also few vegetable sellers.
Some of the stalls were even empty.
Seeing this, Liu Xing took the black calf and turned around and came to the stall selling pork.
The pork business is not as good as expected, but it is not bad either.
The best loin and pork belly were gone, and only a large piece of hind leg meat remained, as well as a whole piece of ribs and a pile of bones.
Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head: "Boss, how to sell pork?"
In the 80s and 90s, the popularity of fatty meat was far higher than that of lean meat, although he had known this story for a long time, but he still couldn't smile bitterly when he saw the current situation on the pork stall.
Because he actually wants to buy some pork belly and go back to his family to have a good meal.
But the reality does not allow it.
So I can only settle for the next best thing, buy some hind leg meat and go back first.
If you don't buy this point, then it is estimated that the entire HY market will be gone.
Maybe the supplier will have it, but he doesn't have a meat ticket.
If you want to buy meat, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking.
Because of the supply and marketing cooperatives in my memory, that is the uncle.
Without the corresponding bills, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy anything at all.
Of course, maybe the 80s would be better, but Liu Xing just didn't want to go.
Because those salesmen will always have the expression of not buying, as if others owe them millions.
And the tall boss who sells meat in front of him is much better than the salesman, at least he has a smile on his face while speaking: "Boy, do you buy hind leg meat or pork ribs?"
"I want to buy pork belly, you're gone, lean meat doesn't taste good at all. Liu Xing's answer seemed to be the head of the donkey and the horse's mouth, but in fact, he was secretly attacking the pork of the tall boss.
This shrewd move was silent and invisible, and suddenly the tall boss was stunned, and he sneered and picked up the knife on the board: "The pork belly has long been sold out, if you want to buy it, it's impossible, this hind leg meat is not bad! I'll give you a discount, how about a dollar and a pound?"
"It's expensive. Liu Xing replied.
"And how much do you have?" the tall boss's face began to turn unpleasant.
Liu Xing turned his head to look at the other stalls around him, and saw that there was no second meat seller, so he had to stretch out his thumb and index finger: "Eight cents a catty." ”
"Okay, how much do you want?" asked the tall boss in a daze.
"Damn, it's sloppy!" Liu Xing covered his head and laughed at himself secretly: "Give me two catties! By the way, how do you sell pork ribs and tube bones?"
"Pork ribs cost six cents a pound, and the ribs are ......" The tall boss glanced at Liu Xing: "If you want them all, I'll give you two cents a pound." ”
"Do you think I'm a kid and easy to bully? There is no meat on the bones of this tube, two cents a pound, you let me buy it and get beaten up!" Liu Xing replied angrily.
"And how much do you say?" the tall boss wiped his hands.
"How many catties are the bones on the board?" asked Liu Xing.
"There's always a dozen pounds!" replied the tall boss casually.
Liu Xing glanced at it and felt that it was almost the same: "I want all the dollars, and if I think it's okay, I'll put it up, and if it doesn't work, I won't say it." ”
"That's too low, add more?" asked the tall boss with a sneer.
Liu Xing took the black calf and turned around and left.
In the 80s, the tube bone was a thing to add to the head, and this tall boss even disliked the low price, was this when he didn't know the market?
If he didn't know that his parents wouldn't blame him, he wouldn't want to buy these bones and go back to stew soup to drink to replenish the family's body!
The tall boss was stunned when he saw this posture and hurriedly grabbed Liu Xing: "Okay, okay! One dollar is one dollar, the first time you come to me to sell meat, let's make a friend." ”
"You would have died if you said this!" Liu Xing glanced at the tall boss.
Most of the pork sellers are like this, don't give them a good face, otherwise they will kick their noses in the face, and they don't know how to pit you when selling pork.
Before he was reborn, Liu Xing had learned many times.
So now when he sees the pork seller, he subconsciously has a vigilance in his heart.
"Hehe......" The tall boss knew that Liu Xing agreed, and hurriedly smiled and took the bag to fill the bones, but his inadvertent little action exposed a big problem.
This problem is that in the corner of the bag, a large piece of pork belly appeared, weighing at least four or five catties, although it was covered by other bags, but it was discovered by Liu Xing.
He stepped forward and put this piece of pork belly on the board: "Yo! your boss is not authentic, this good meat is hidden!"
"Oh no! This is a hotel reservation. The tall boss explained.
"What about the bigger piece of single-loin in there?" Liu Xing pointed amusedly.
The tall boss blushed, opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, this is his routine of selling meat, first selling the lean meat, and then buying fatty pork belly and single loin, so that it is easier to sell the head such as bobbin bones.
And now this rib is very difficult to sell, this morning is almost two hours, not a single rib has been sold. So he thought about waiting for the lean meat to be sold, and waiting for the pork ribs to be sold with pork belly and single loin, so that he wouldn't worry about the ribs not being sold.
Anyway, in a word, as long as the routine is deep, you are not afraid that laymen will not be fooled.
But when he met Liu Xing today, he was out of luck.
Because if the single loin is also pre-purchased by the restaurant, then he will not want to do this pork business in the future.
Everyone is not stupid, you sell good meat to restaurants and let them eat lean meat or pork ribs, then how can there be such a good thing in the whole world, and in the end there will only be one result.
That is, the pork stall of the tall boss will definitely go out of business.
Liu Xing saw the embarrassing situation of the tall boss at a glance, he reached out and patted the pork belly on the board: "I don't embarrass you, I want all this, and two catties of pork ribs, if you agree, hurry up and call me, don't mother-in-law and mother always want to pit me." ”
"Brother, this pork belly costs two and one pounds a piece, are you sure you can buy it all?" The tall boss saw that Liu Xing was a big customer, so he had to change his tone and ask.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Liu Xing glared at the tall boss.
"Okay! Okay! I'll weigh you!" The tall boss hurriedly put the pork belly on the board into the small scale, and weighed it in front of Liu Xing: "A total of six catties and one tael, two six and one two, a total of seven pieces of two, you give seven pieces." ”
"Do you have six catties or two of pork belly?" Liu Xing picked it up and weighed it in his hand.
"That's a must! I'm not a bully on this scale, and I will definitely not be short of catties or two. The tall boss patted his chest and promised, but his heart was very empty, and inadvertently, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
