After waiting until the last trip was over, Ye Congwen Shi Shiran followed the porters and walked towards the market. The scorching sun was setting and the autumn wind was already slightly cool. It was probably around three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the past, people who went to the market had already returned home one after another. But now it is different. The crowds continue to gather at the market like flowing water. The people running with large and small bags in their hands must be repeat customers. There must be people in front of them.
Are there any good and cheap things waiting for them to snap up?
From a distance, I heard the enthusiastic shouting of pigeon sprouts, and it seemed that I was surrounded by people several times. This was not the focus of Ye Congwen's attention. He quickly glanced around, but no familiar figure was seen, and no familiar figure was heard.
The sound made my heart skip a beat. If I did a complete show and the main character didn't come in, wouldn't my whole show be in vain?
"Give way, here comes the fresh pioneer beef——"
Five dark-skinned men filed in, and the onlookers on both sides gave way. The loads of beef as red as blood seemed to still have residual warmth. As the swaying basket seemed to be alive, the large pieces of fresh meat swayed up and down, making the
People's appetite is greatly stimulated.
The pigeon sprouts enthusiastically cleaned the huge chopping board. It was two to three meters long and more than one meter wide. The front had clear lines and was shiny. It was sawn from a pine tree. It is durable and will not rot for a hundred years. It has been rubbed by pigeon sprouts now.
The oily sheen is discernible.
"Little girl, how have you considered what I said? This price is very high. I can't find anyone else in Qingshan Town!"
A man with strong limbs was extremely anxious and seemed to be about to explode.
"Meat is for sale. I don't care how much I earn. My mission is to sell it anyway. How much does it cost per pound?"
Pigeon Sprout smiled happily and said:
"Then it depends on the sincerity of our fellow villagers!"
He pinched his throat, signaled everyone to mute with both hands, and shouted loudly:
“Buy five pounds and get 20% off!
Buy ten pounds and get 30% off!
Buy twenty pounds and get 40% off!
50% off on everything over 50 pounds!”
Before the words could even be spoken, there was a roar as if a cauldron was exploding. Everyone started discussing, fearing that they would be left behind. There was also a weak voice asking:
"What if I only buy one or two pounds?"
"One or two kilograms? The price increases by two cents per kilogram, and you have to queue up at the back!"
Mudou Ya replied nonchalantly, while leading the five people to arrange the meat neatly. After counting the quantities, he glanced at Ye Congwen walking slowly and slowly in small steps. He thought in his heart that Brother Congwen could calm down.
.
When the strong-limbed man saw Ye Congwen walking slowly, he rushed towards him anxiously, as if he were meeting the savior, the immortal Bodhisattva, and kept complaining from afar:
"Brother Xiaowen, I finally look forward to having you here! This little girl is so ignorant!"
"Hey - Boss Chen, what kind of wind brings you here? It's a hot day in the sky, why don't you go to my shop and join in the fun if you don't enjoy the cool air at home?"
Seeing that the number one animal trainer in Qingshan Town had taken the bait, Ye Congwen thought that there were two colleagues who had trouble with this person who had not yet shown up, so he greeted him with a haha, looking around and talking to him, never getting to the point.
"This little girl is really pissing me off! Whose girl is she? She's so unscrupulous!"
"Oh, my distant cousin, why did she offend you? I asked her to come over and apologize." Ye Congwen replied with a serious face.
"If you don't talk about her, don't talk about her."
Seeing the little girl putting buckets of beef on the butchering table, her heart was swinging back and forth like fifteen buckets, and she complained quite depressedly:
"What's going on in your Tieta Village recently? Such a good pioneer cow is actually being killed and sold for meat. It makes my heart bleed! Where is the pioneer cow that promised me?"
"Isn't it on the butcher's table?"
Ye Congwen's eyes revealed a kind of
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Seeing the charm of the blind man, the man named Chen immediately became furious:
"Live alive! I want to live!"
You are still mentioning meat to me, don’t you know that I am the best animal trainer in Qingshan Town? Have you never seen an animal lover since you were a child? If it weren’t for the sake of the strong man in Iron Tower Village who couldn’t beat him
, believe it or not, I will seal your shop?
"My dear Brother Wen, I have been waiting for this day for eight months. Do you know how difficult life would be for us animal trainers without the Pioneer Wild Bull?
It's fine now. I finally looked forward to the stars and the moon, but you brought me a boatload of beef. Aren't you asking for my life?"
"Hey! Do you think I don't want to? Who doesn't make money if they have money?"
Ye Congwen sighed and said with regret:
"I had already captured it alive, but who knew that my cousin was so naughty and ran over to touch the red hair on the cow? You also know that the pioneer cow's hair is brightly colored.
I accidentally opened the cable rope, and the cow ran away without saying a word. It chased the little girl and trampled on it, almost killing someone. No, if Brother Lang hit it with an axe, it would become a headless cow corpse. For this
I even got scolded for it.
But what has happened has happened, and there is nothing we can do about it. Human lives are at stake!"
Ye Congwen made up half-truths and half-falsities, so others couldn't help but believe it. After hearing this, the reckless Chen looked at Douya Ya with sharper eyes, like a sharp sword or a dagger, shining with cold light and cold and vicious.
"That makes sense, but you can't eat it if you accidentally kill it?"
The reckless man shouted in agony, looked at the bright red beef, and gritted his teeth and said:
"If a sacred object like this, created in heaven, dies unexpectedly, we should hold a grand burial ceremony, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, offer flowers at all times, and burn paper in memory every year.
How can you be so unscrupulous as to just peel off the skin and sell the beef? This is just a pioneering cow! Do you think it is a small scalper on the street?"
Ye Congwen saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, as if someone had killed his father and taken away his wife and children. Ye Congwen tried hard to calm down his equally excited heart, and asked pretending to be puzzled:
"Is there any secret here?"
"It makes sense!"
I was about to popularize the theory of karma and retribution to Ye Congwen when I saw the little girl starting to sell beef! She raised the knife and dropped it, as if she was being cut with a knife.
"Please tell your cousin to stop this cruel behavior. I'm going to faint."
"Small bean sprouts will be sold later!"
As soon as Ye Congwen finished speaking, the crowd booed and even Douya frowned and asked, "What the hell are you doing again?"
"You have also seen that the crowd is furious. Let's make a long story short. I'll give you three minutes!"
"This is the ancestral secret of our animal trainers. You must know that every industry has the habit of supporting our ancestors. Our food, clothing, housing and transportation are all obtained by domesticating the wild cattle. How can we watch our ancestors being robbed?"
Where’s the food?”
"So the Pioneer Mangniu is considered the bread and butter of your industry?"
"You can say that, but what's even more terrible is: if the entire town's residents ate the meat of the sacred cow and were found out by the ancestors and punished, from now on, we in Qingshan Town may no longer be able to tame the pioneer cattle.
"
"No way, is it so mysterious?"
Ye Congwen was dubious. Although he had been prepared for it, he never expected that there were so many details involved. He thought it was just a group of cattle lovers. Seeing this situation, I have to change my plan to sell at a discount. Well, I have to pay more!
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
Chen, the reckless man, saw that Ye Congwen was a little hesitant, so he quickly grabbed the other two animal trainers and acted as lobbyists together.
The other two strong men, one fat and one thin, looked attentive. Although they were not good at words, they had serious faces.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was clearly engraved with the words: Me too. The fat one even had his buttons crooked. He probably hurried over just after getting up. His eyes were sleepy, which shows his sincerity.
"We can't gamble with the future of our children and grandchildren. What if it works out? Brother Xiaowen, you have to sell me this face today no matter what. Why do you think our animal trainers still have a good relationship with Iron Tower Village after so many years?
You senior Ye Wudi and my father often have dinner together."
"Brother Congwen, what are you doing? It will be dark if you don't start selling!"
Doudouya yelled impatiently, her little face gradually darkened and she had the urge to get angry at any time!
"Do you want to sell it or not? If you don't want to sell it, we will leave!"
The onlookers threatened one after another, and some even rushed forward to lift meat and throw money.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the three animal trainers no longer chatted with Ye Congwen. They quickly ran to the butcher table and surrounded the Pioneer Mango beef tightly, shouting loudly:
"No selling, no selling, we take care of everything."
Ye Congwen felt happy when he saw the results were beginning to show, but it was not time to close the net yet, he still needed pigeon sprouts to add fuel to the fire.
"Who are you? Why did you sell it to you three gangsters?"
"Your cousin Ye Congwen promised!"
"Yes, yes! We bought them all at double the price!"
To be rich means to be arrogant, to speak loudly, and to be true to one's words.
"Brother Congwen, what are you doing? You secretly sold everything to them. What should I do? These folks have been waiting in line for a long time. Should I drive them away?"
Mudouya paused, gritted his teeth and said arrogantly:
"Even if Grandpa Invincible is here today, I won't obey him. We people in Tieta Village always mean what we say, and we will never go back on what we have said!"
He stuck out his tongue at the three of them and said angrily: "I won't sell it to you, I'll make you mad!"
The three of them looked at each other in frustration and helplessness, and had no choice but to save the country and looked at Ye Congwen with a sad face.
Ye Congwen counted with his fingers. Ordinary scalpers were fifteen cents per catty. Double the price was equivalent to thirty, and three thousand catties was equivalent to nine gold coins. He took out a sling of copper coins to calm the emotions of the onlookers. It was perfect! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell it at noon.
When I went out, my stupid idea of setting up a 50% off sale was gone. I cleared my throat and said seriously:
"Since this thing is so important to you, I can't bear to do things that harm others and not benefit myself. Besides, our ancestors have a long history.
Let's do this. I'll pay you the price of ordinary yellow beef, fifteen cents per catty. If you agree, click the button.
We will pay the price and deliver the goods with one hand."
The pig bean sprouts blinked and blinked. Wasn't it sold for eight cents per catty? Why did it suddenly rise to thirty cents? More than two thousand kilograms of beef was rubbed into three thousand kilograms. Is this the legendary rounding method?
Nine gold coins, not far from ten. In this case, you don’t have to be angry with Ye Rulang when you go back. With a quick turn of eyes, he quietly put the lid on the basket containing the cow’s head.
The three strong men looked at each other. Each of them had three gold coins, which was acceptable if they were divided equally.
"Have you brought any money? Come out with a handful of money to calm everyone's anger!"
Ye Congwen winked at several people. Chen, a black man, took out a bunch of copper coins unhappily and looked at Ye Congwen in confusion.
Ye Congwen walked up to the crowd with the sling of copper coins and apologized loudly:
"My sister delayed everyone's time today, and I am here to apologize to everyone."
While pointing at the three animal trainers, he interceded for them:
"The three masters also know that it is immoral to take away someone's love. To express their apology, they specially took out a sling of copper coins to comfort everyone. Let's do this. Everyone will line up in order and give everyone three cents to buy wine! Everyone, please don't follow Ai Niu.
