Chapter 34 Master and Apprentice
Relying on the live sign of providing hundreds of kilograms of wild boar meat every day for a week, Liu Daneng, who has been running a meat stall business in Pigeon City for many years, has successfully defended his "overlord" status, making other butchers envious and jealous. < /p>
Even though other butchers were very sad and complained that Liu Daneng was selling wild boar meat instead of fatter domestic pork. But they knew in their hearts that in today's pigeon market, whose stall has meat is the king. Wild boar meat is not the case. Pork?
As an apprentice, He Xiaowu has been feeling proud and proud recently. He just saw that the amount of meat stored at home was decreasing day by day, and he felt a little worried. But he didn't dare to ask his master Liu Daneng why he didn't go to the countryside to buy pigs in the past two days. p>
But on the night when all the stored meat was sold out, Liu Daneng whispered: "Xiao Wu, don't leave in a hurry when the stall is closed. Go do some work with the master. It's best to have someone bring a message to your home tonight. You’re afraid you won’t be able to go home and rest.”
When He Xiaowu heard this, he immediately said with great joy: "Master, do you have another big job tonight?"
"Well! You are my apprentice, and you are different from others. When business on the street is opened up later, I will also find a way to rent a stall for you. After all, you have been with me for several years, so it is time It’s time to leave.”
"Thank you, Master!"
"This is what a master should do! There's just one thing, you know even if I don't tell you. It's easy to run a meat stall business, but the real difficulty is to find meat to sell. Now I don't even have enough meat to sell. If you open a stall, I'm afraid I can't help you."
Liu Daneng still trusts the apprentice who has been with him for more than two years. But he knows that the apprentice is older. In the past two years with him, he can basically master the skills of killing pigs and setting up stalls to sell meat. .
But the real difficulty in setting up a stall to sell meat in Pigeon Market is not to attract customers, but that pork is hard to find!
The last time he bought three large wild boars from Xu Zhengdao, Liu Daneng vaguely noticed that some of the younger brothers who came over to help had the idea of poaching. If Xu Zhengdao hadn't been accustomed to keeping a low profile, maybe this supplier would still be there. I was really pried by others.
What made him happy and gratified was that Xu Zhengdao took the initiative to keep the transactions more confidential in the future. When he returned home after closing his stall during the day, Xu Zhengdao greeted him when he entered the city and asked him to close his stall at the evening market and go to the designated place to collect goods.< /p>
Both of them knew exactly what they were pulling. What really made him happy was that when Xu Zhengdao left, he shook three fingers at him. This meant to tell him that he could pull back three big wild boars tonight.
Occasionally buying a big wild boar is considered lucky, but being able to buy three big wild boars every week is a real skill. I dare not say anything else. With Xu Zhengdao continuing to supply him with wild boars, Liu Daneng can dominate the meat stalls in Pigeon Market. No one can defend it.
Especially after the Spring Festival, Liu Daneng was keenly aware that the demand for meat among city people was much higher than in previous years. Just from the regular customers he had made friends with in the past two years, the amount of meat he bought each time this year was much higher than in previous years.< /p>
It can be said that if he really wanted to sell it, there would be no problem at all selling a pig at a morning market or night market!
Perhaps because of this, other vendors who set up stalls selling meat in the pigeon market are now like Liu Daneng before, anxious to get angry but unable to find meat. The pork from the state-owned slaughterhouse is not enough to supply farmers’ markets and regular meat stalls!<
/p>
In this case, if you want to buy unplanned meat from the state-owned slaughterhouse, in addition to having to fight for personal connections, the price will definitely not be cheap. On the contrary, the wild boar meat sold by Liu Daneng is not as oily and watery as domestic pigs, but it is pork after all!
After closing the stall and leaving the Pigeon Market, Liu Daneng returned home and did not bother to rest. He quickly changed his clothes, pulled the cart placed in front of his house, and led his apprentice towards the abandoned house not far away.
When he reached the previously designated place, Liu Daneng immediately said: "Xiao Wu, you look at the cart, I'll go inside and take a look."
"Okay, Master!"
Having followed Liu Daneng for so long, He Xiaowu knew what "do more, talk less" meant. And he knew even better that if he really wanted to set up a stall in the pigeon market and become a butcher, he would probably need the help of a master.
Liu Daneng, using a flashlight, stepped on the collapsed bricks and walked into this dilapidated house that few people visited. After walking around for a while, he found three powerful wild boars piled in the corner. What was strange was that they were bloody.
The smell is not very strong.
After confirming that each of the three wild boars weighed more than 300 kilograms, Liu Daneng grinned happily and said: "My brother is really capable! When these three wild boars are brought back to the market, it will be difficult not to attract attention.
It’s hard, it feels so good!”
Although he knew in his heart that buying three wild boars again would definitely attract the attention of some people in the market. But in Liu Daneng's view, everyone knew the rules of the pigeon market. If you want to be a butcher, if you can't get the goods, you can only blame yourself.
Ability.
And everyone knows that wild boars can only be hunted by hunters in remote rural areas outside the city. Some people may guess that Liu Daneng arranged for someone to purchase wild boars shot by hunters in a certain town outside the city.
If not, where did the three wild boars of this size come from each time? They couldn't appear out of thin air, right?
Hearing the gentle greeting from the master in the house, He Xiaowu immediately walked into the broken house and soon saw three wild boars piled in the corner. But who put the wild boars here, I think except for the master Liu Daneng, he also didn't know.<
/p>
"Wow, Master, there are three big wild boars again, you are so awesome!"
"Just average! It's a pity that the quantity is still a little small. If these three wild boars are really sold, I'm afraid they will be sold out in two days."
"That's true! Most of the people who come to the pigeon market to buy meat now just ask about the price, and everyone is very generous."
Although wild boar meat cannot be sold for as high a price as domestic pigs, in markets such as Pigeon Market where meat is in short supply and no meat stamps are required, the price of wild boar meat sold by Liu Daneng is more expensive than domestic pork at state-owned meat stalls.
Of course, the domestic pork sold in the Pigeon Market is definitely more expensive than that at the state-owned meat stalls. After calculation, the price of wild boar meat in the Pigeon Market is actually quite cheap. If you think it is expensive, you don’t have to buy it, but you can’t buy it anywhere else.<
/p>
In just this week, many regular customers have ordered meat other than wild boar from Liu Daneng. For example, pork feet, pig head, pig intestines and other seemingly inconspicuous meats, but these are available in Pigeon Market.
Money may not even be able to buy it.
The reason is very simple. These items are basically reserved in advance. In many cases, if it doesn't matter, you may not be able to buy it if you order in advance. Without Xu Zhengdao's promise of meat in advance, Liu Daneng would definitely not dare to agree to those regular customers.
When the master and the apprentice lifted all three wild boars onto the cart, He Xiaowu, the apprentice, pulled them in front, and Liu Daneng, the master, pushed them from behind. When the wild boars were brought back to the slaughterhouse next to the market, both of them looked unusual.
Happy.
And He Xiaowu knew even better that he might be very tired tonight, but his family would definitely be happy with the odds and ends he would bring home tomorrow. With Liu Daneng as the master, their family could have a meaty meal every now and then.<
/p>
The master and apprentice first took out a wild boar. Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Daneng ordered He Xiaowu to rest in the slaughterhouse. As for him, he had to go home to rest. If he didn't go back, his wife would be worried.
On the way back to the alley after leaving the slaughterhouse, Liu Daneng really felt that he might really need to hurry up and find a wife. In that case, he would be too busy outside in the future, and he, as a son, could rest assured that he had a wife at home to accompany him.
!
As for letting his apprentice stay alone at the slaughterhouse, Liu Daneng felt that nothing would happen. As for the two wild boars weighing about 300 kilograms, he really didn't believe that anyone could steal them under He Xiaowu's nose.
After finishing the morning market tomorrow, he will also leave some things for his apprentice to take home. Moreover, Liu Daneng has been paying his apprentice monthly salary since last year. Although the money is not much, for the He family, it is finally
Seeing that my son can make money.
Following Liu Daneng, you can get a salary, and you can bring back some meat every now and then. This is undoubtedly a big help to the He family, whose family is not in a good situation. Because Liu Daneng is very particular about what he does, how can He Xiaowu, as his apprentice, dare not not
