14, selling meat
For Zhu Yunxuan, Li Rui's sudden appearance did not bring any changes to his life. However, Jiang Yuexiu, who hurriedly brought food that day, found that only his son was there, talked about the question that the child's parents did not leave a word.
Zhu Yunxuan comforted his mother, but also knew that Li Rui's parents would leave so fast because of him. If every word he said had hit others' hearts, they would probably not have been so rude.
A big knife shaped like an axe divides the already-killed pig into two halves, and each half is divided into three parts: front legs, ribs and hind legs.
When Zhu Yunxuan was carrying a hot water bottle of boiling water that he had bought for five cents, Zhu Ada was already cutting off the ribs on his front leg with a knife.
"Grandpa, the water is ready!" After Li Rui left, Zhu Yunxuan quickly persuaded his grandfather to ask him to come to the town to help. In fact, he was only six years old and could not do anything, but his grandfather liked him and was willing to give him some pocket money to spend on the name of asking him to help. So he started living with his father every morning when it was still dawn.
Zhu Ada sells meat in the vegetable market, Zhu Chengcai repairs bicycles and motorcycles outside the vegetable market, and Zhu Yunxuan runs on both sides to help with some miscellaneous work.
However, in comparison, he still spent more time with Zhu Ada. At this time, there was no electronic formula. When Zhu Ada scored a pound and calculated the price, he would occasionally make mistakes. If he couldn't do it, he would get rid of some of it. It would be much better to have him by his side.
"Xuanxuan, are you tired?" Zhu Ada wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, then lowered his head to look at his grandson.
"Not tired!" Zhu Yunxuan crawled under the meat-selling platform and stood inside and opened his mouth. He was small and could only drill from below, but the adults flipped over from above.
"It's good if you're not tired." Zhu Ada took off the pig's trotters, cut off the bloody flesh around the front legs, and removed the bones inside. Then, a piece of front legs called sandwich meat was processed. When someone wanted to buy front legs, cut it a little bit.
Zhu Ada did not rush to deal with the rib meat in the middle, but instead went to deal with the pig's hind legs. Because this rib meat should be cut directly to the ancestor worship. Restaurants like ribs and large chops, and fast food restaurants also need pork belly, which will be handled according to customer needs.
Zhu Yunxuan poured water into the glass bottle that grandfather used to drink water, and then got out again. He seemed to have seen someone picking up the wedding ceremony. He was still buying vegetables at this time, and he must have bought meat later!
When we were having weddings in the countryside, we would ask people to go out to buy vegetables with big bags containing feed or fertilizers. At this moment, the two young people took a bag with the word "urea" written on it and bought leeks, which made Zhu Yunxuan laugh secretly. When he was young, his father told him that urea was made of urine, but later he learned chemistry and found out that it was not, but he still remembered this explanation.
Seeing that the other party had bought it, he immediately stepped forward and started talking. Sure enough, in less than a few words, these two obviously came from the countryside were led to Zhu Ada's stall.
In the past, people selling meat in the town were all from the town. In recent years, some rural people also rented stalls to sell meat, but the number was not large. The two people who bought vegetables were from the countryside, and they didn’t know the meat seller, so they were naturally willing to buy things from Zhu Ada.
Zhu Ada always sells it cheaper than others. In this way, he can sell out all the meat and go home to rest early - his physical strength is no longer as good as that of a young man.
When the country people around Wende Town treat guests, they will cut pork belly into square sizes of adult palms, and then wrap them with rice dumpling leaves to braised. When served, they are fragrant and delicious. Zhu A cuts the meat piece by piece, tie it with straw, and then shouts "Is there any pork liver?" Many people sent it to them. He bought it for the two of them, and finally made some lean meat, and there were a lot of things missing on the stall at that time.
Zhu Ada was very happy. He had liked his grandson, and now his grandson came to help every day. In the past, when someone wanted to buy a lot of things like pork waist on the other side, he couldn't get enough to send his waist over, but Zhu Yunxuan was different. He moved quickly and could always squeeze in front. Those who wanted to buy things saw that it was a child, and they were willing to buy the piece he had. In this way, Zhu Ada, who used to sell the meat at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, could often get home for lunch now!
"Xuanxuan, go buy a few buns." Zhu Ada was happy and gave Zhu Yunxuan one dollar. Zhu Yunxuan liked to eat Xiaolongbao. At this time, two cents were quite large each, and one dollar could make his belly full.
"Thank you grandpa!" Zhu Yunxuan took the money into his arms and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
It's still early now, and he was not hungry after eating porridge at home, so he had to wait to buy buns later. When he saw that Zhu Ada had already sat down and rested, he started to sort out the pigs soaked in the water into the water.
Pig waist, pig belly, pig heart, pig large intestine, pig small intestine, etc. are now connected to the things called "water and oil" in the pig's belly. Water and oil are, after all, fat layers that grow with the intestines.
The pork kidneys must be dug out of large pieces of fat, and other things must be washed and separated one by one. The water and oil and pig intestine must be tied up with straw before someone will buy them...
When he was in junior high school in his previous life, Zhu Chengcai wanted to build a house, so he reduced Zhu Yunxuan's pocket money. But at that time, he liked to buy good-looking clothes or go to eat some vermicelli with his classmates, so he started to help Zhu Ada to get pocket money.
At that time, he fed water for Zhu Ada to buy breakfast, helped him fill the cut meat in plastic bags and do some miscellaneous work, but he refused to touch the pigs to get into the water for the "salary" of ten yuan every morning.
But now everything is back, but he is not that delicate. After breaking up with his family, he has never done anything to make money? What is the only pig going into the water? At worst, you can take a shower when you go back!
"Xuanxuan is so good!" Zhu A narrowed his eyes with a big laugh. He was a very kind person and liked to praise his grandchildren the most. Zhu Yunxuan heard him say that he was smart and said that Zhu Qiuyue was beautiful since he was a child.
However, when Zhu Ada praised him in the past, there were not many people who answered him. At this moment, the people at the meat stalls next to Zhu Ada all agreed. Nowadays, children are only children, and they dislike the smell of the vegetable market and refuse to come in. Many people like Zhu Yunxuan come to help early every day or really help, not by helping to buy this and that one, but there are almost no ones.
Hearing those people's praise, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but blush. He had to say that in his previous life he also disliked the smell of the vegetable market. He disliked the vegetable market for many years that he would dirty his shoes if he accidentally stained his shoes. He refused to come in until he didn't know whether the entire vegetable market was rebuilt in 1996 or 1997.
Things are hung with iron hooks, and it is seven o'clock, and at this time, those scattered customers come to buy groceries.
At this time, although there were slaughterhouses in the town, many people, such as Zhu Ada, went to the countryside to slaughter pigs, because he had a good temper. When he slaughtered pigs, he would not deliberately suppress some prices like some people when buying pigs. When selling meat, he was not expensive and did not make much money, but he had many customers.
Zhu Yunxuan moved a stool, helped him greet the customers in a decent manner, and helped him bag the cut meat, and then calculated the price, saving some customers from not being able to wait to go elsewhere.
This busyness was until after nine o'clock. The sun was getting stronger outside, so fewer people came to buy vegetables so early. In order to order the pork fresh, Zhu Ada got up to kill pigs in the middle of the night. By this time, he was very tired. The porridge he brought to him in the morning had already been digested. He immediately took five dollars to Zhu Yunxuan: "Xuanxuan, please help grandpa buy a few buns, and you will give them the extra ones."
"Grandpa! It's five dollars." Zhu Yunxuan was a little surprised. In the past, Zhu Ada would give him two dollars to buy breakfast while giving him two dollars to pocket money, but this time he had already given one dollar. If you buy buns for five dollars, you can still have four dollars left!
"Xuanxuan, don't you want a water gun? Go and buy one." Zhu A said with a big smile.
The water gun? Is it mentioned by myself before? Zhu Yunxuan did not refuse and left the vegetable market with five dollars.
Xiaolongbao costs five yuan per dollar and three big buns per dollar. Zhu Ada always thinks that big buns are affordable. Every time Zhu Yunxuan buys, he buys three big meat buns.
The bun shop is right next to the road outside the vegetable market. Many people come and go to buy buns to eat. If they have free time, they will also ask for a bowl of soy milk or small wontons to sit down. Zhu Yunxuan looked at the busty bun shop that was no longer in the morning. After thinking about it, he spent two yuan to buy four meat buns and two pickled buns.
"Aren't you the meat-selling child?" The middle-aged woman selling buns prepared the buns and asked with a smile.
"Auntie, do you know me?" Zhu Yunxuan smiled at the other party and made full use of every opportunity: "Auntie, where did you buy meat?"
"Which company I buy is cheaper?" The woman smiled. She usually went to buy meat at noon.
"Auntie, my grandfather sells meat very cheaply. If you keep buying it with my grandfather, you can make it cheaper for you!" If you have a few such long-term large customers, you won't be afraid that the meat will be sold out! And...
"You know how to get into business at such a young age?" The middle-aged woman was a little moved and stayed together. She still knew how the meat was like in Zhu Ada, but it was getting late when she went to buy meat. Often, there was no pork belly suitable for making buns in Zhu Ada.
"Auntie, it's too late for you to buy meat every day. You can't pick up good meat. Look, you have been buying meat with my grandfather. How great it would be for me to bring the meat to you! It won't delay you selling buns in the morning!" Zhu Yunxuan also saw that the other party was moved.
In fact, Zhu Ada has several long-term customers. A canteen has been buying meat from Zhu Ada. However, this bun is spread out outside the vegetable market. Many parents who send their children to school will also bring their children to eat, and the amount of meat they need is quite large every day!
"That's fine, but I want a lot of meat every day. Your grandfather sold out the meat so early every day..."
"Auntie, since you are all doing business, there will definitely be the meat you want!" Zhu Yunxuan remembered Zhu Qiuyue, who would still go to kindergarten in the countryside in the second half of the year, and immediately spoke.
"Then go and talk to your grandpa." The middle-aged woman spoke. It would be great if someone brought the meat over every day.
Zhu Yunxuan got the letter and left happily immediately. He knew that Zhu Chengcai had breakfast early and was too hungry tolerant, so he left a vegetable bun and a meat bun for him. He ate a vegetable bun himself, and then went to Zhu Ada's stall and told him what had happened just now.
"Boy, your grandfather is tired enough to kill one pig a day. How can he kill one more place? If he only kills one pig and sells the meat to her cheaply, it is better to sell it to those who come to buy vegetables, and he can earn more." Zhu Ada still likes Zhu Yunxuan's idea of his own, but he is not young, and selling a pig every day is the limit. If it weren't for the heat today and there was no refrigerator at home, he wouldn't have been delayed until two or three o'clock in the afternoon before. He said that at this moment, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, he was so tired that he wanted to go to bed.
It's better to be in winter. You don't have to get up at twelve o'clock in the evening to kill the pigs, but you can kill the pigs in the afternoon and sell them the next day, and you don't have to worry about the meat breaking.
"Grandpa, please let uncle sell meat too!" Zhu Yunxuan said quickly. His uncle is now doing farm work at home, and occasionally works as a small worker when others build houses. Not only is he tired, he also earns little, so Zhu Qiuyue has no pocket money to spend, but if his uncle comes to sell meat at this time...
Zhu Yunxuan remembers very clearly that his uncle Zhu Chenggong would follow his grandfather to sell meat seven or eight years later. He was young and not afraid of hardship. After selling for two years, he was better than his grandfather’s sales. His uncle’s life was much better, and later he was even much better than his family. Now that he has been reborn, of course he doesn’t mind asking his uncle to come and sell meat earlier. It’s better than him to help someone move bricks a day and only earn ten yuan. In this way, Zhu Qiuyue’s life will be much better? In addition, Zhu Dongyue will be born by his aunt in the past or two years, right? He still remembers that his uncle had no money at that time, and even the money for giving birth was borrowed from his grandfather. But his grandmother was still sarcastic and disliked the aunt and gave birth to another daughter and refused to help him. Finally, when everyone was in chaos, Zhu Qiuyue was left behind. She cried alone for a day before her grandmother took her to the hospital.
