Chapter 37: Jiang Su was betrothed to me with just three ounces of pork. Why do you want to marry her?
Although Jin Baiwan sells pork in small pieces, he has a full set of knives for cutting meat.
He stood in front of Liao Weidong holding a big knife for cutting bones, looking very arrogant.
Before the Great Famine, Jin Baiwan was just a pork seller, but now it is different. Even rich people have to call him Master Jin because he owns pigs.
After a pig is slaughtered and the pork is frozen, a small piece is taken out for sale every day, and everyone rushes to grab it.
He lived like a local emperor. His house was filled with piles of gold bars, if not mountains.
Liao Weidong glanced at the knife in Jin Baiwan's hand and ignored him. He thought that the old man who could only talk big was not worth his words.
"I use gold bars, I choose this one."
A noble lady standing nearby had already taken a fancy to a piece of braised beef in soy sauce because it had both tendons and meat.
With a wave of his hand, the servant counted out twenty gold bars for Liao Weidong.
Liao Weidong, who had never seen a gold bar before, put twenty of them into the bag as if he was throwing away twenty twigs, without caring at all.
But only he himself knew that his hands were shaking a little.
These are twenty gold bars, real gold!
The lady couldn't bear to eat it when she got home, so she opened the package and took a bite of the braised beef.
After all, I have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, so I can taste it in one bite. This is fresh and good beef with pure flavor.
These twenty gold bars are totally worth it!
"This braised beef is so delicious. One bite of it will make you happy even if you die with your eyes closed."
The statement about the lady is not an exaggeration at all. How many people want to eat some meat before they die, but who among the ordinary people can afford it? It is tangible that they die with their eyes open.
The lady asked again, "Will you come to sell braised beef tomorrow?"
"We're not selling braised beef tomorrow. We'll be selling..." Liao Weidong glanced at Jin Baiwan's pork stall, "whole braised pork elbow!"
When everyone heard this, they asked, "A whole braised pork elbow?"
How is this possible...
"Don't try to deceive me here. There are only three pork sellers in the whole city, and they only have five pork elbows. No one would sell them whole. Where are you going to get pork elbows?"
It is true that no one would sell a whole pork elbow because no one can afford it. Even rich people have to think twice before buying it.
"Jiang Pork Knuckle, how much do you sell one gold bar for?"
The lady ignored Jin Baiwan. She thought the man selling braised beef was a reliable man. Men who spoke little were generally not the kind of people who boasted.
"Based on the price that Jin Baiwan sold pork for before, this whole braised pork elbow would be sold for three hundred gold bars each, right?"
"I think it's about 350 each. How big is that pork elbow?"
The onlookers were talking and swallowing their saliva.
One is the tempting braised pork elbow, and the other is the braised beef in front of me which tastes so delicious.
Some people were already rubbing their hands, and were about to rush forward to grab it.
Just as he was about to take action, men in uniform came and took the person away.
This is why this small market, which sells such scarce food, can remain safe and sound.
Because this is a wealthy area, the rich want food, so they have to provide security for the people who sell the goods.
If it's not safe here and no one dares to come and sell things, what will they eat?
The lady asked Liao Weidong again, "How much are you selling it for?"
"One hundred gold bars and a whole pork elbow, no bill!"
When Liao Weidong announced the price, everyone was shocked. A whole pork elbow for only one hundred gold bars?
When the lady heard it was only a hundred gold bars, her eyes lit up. "I'll buy it. Will you come at the same time tomorrow?"
"Yeah!" Liao Weidong's expression and tone were very casual and steady.
If Jiang Su saw him like this, he would say he was boring.
Jin Baiwan got angry when he heard this. If this man really brought the braised pork elbow tomorrow, he would sell it for a hundred gold bars. Who would buy his meat in the future?
"Fuck, you dare to break my rules? One hundred gold bars for a braised pork elbow, do you think you're a beggar? You need at least five hundred gold bars."
"Jin Baiwan is such a black heart! He sold at least 500 gold bars at a high price, and he wouldn't let anyone sell it at a lower price. What kind of person is he?"
"That's right, young man, do you sell small portions of pork?"
Rich people are also divided into different levels, and only a few can afford braised pork elbows and braised beef.
But most wealthy people can still afford small cuts of pork.
"Tomorrow we'll be selling stir-fried pork and green peppers, one for each gold bar!"
Liao Weidong sold this purely for the sake of making a million dollars.
Sure enough, the price of a gold bar made everyone's eyes widen. It was too cheap.
"I'm going to come early tomorrow to wait for the chili fried pork. Just talking about it makes my mouth water. It's only one gold bar, it's too cheap."
"I can afford a gold bar. I can eat meat now. I don't have to smell it anymore."
Jin Baiwan was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He swung his knife and slashed at Liao Weidong.
But Liao Weidong raised his hand and blocked his wrist. Even if a fat old man was full of anger, his strength was limited.
"You dare to steal my business? You're really courting death. I have a whole pig. I have a whole pig. Why do you want to steal my business?"
"He's a liar. There's no way he could sell a whole pork elbow in sauce. Even a fool wouldn't sell a gold bar."
Liao Weidong turned his hand and pressed down on Jin Baiwan's arm, exerting so much force that he couldn't hold the knife handle in his hand. As soon as his hand loosened, the knife fell to the ground.
"Not only do I want to steal your business, I also want to marry Jiang Su!"
When Jin Baiwan heard this, he realized that this person was coming for him.
It turned out that what Guo Changqing said was true. Jiang Su, that little vixen, really followed a rich wild man.
"I betrothed Jiang Su with three ounces of pork. She is my woman. Why do you want to marry her?"
As soon as Jin Baiwan said this, Liao Weidong's face instantly turned gloomy.
He twisted his wrist and used some skillful force to dislocate Jin Baiwan's arm.
The speed was so fast that no one saw it. Jin Baiwan wailed like a pig being slaughtered.
Liao Weidong picked up a piece of braised beef and threw it at him.
When the noble lady took a bite of the braised beef, Jin Baiwan swallowed his saliva.
He was rich, but no one sold braised beef in this small market, although he could eat pork.
But if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it and start craving other meats, such as this braised beef.
So when Liao Weidong threw the meat at him, he instinctively grabbed it with his uninjured hand and held the braised beef tightly in his hand.
"Three ounces of pork for a piece of braised beef, that's a million-dollar profit!"
"Such a handsome man and an old man, if I were Jiang Su, I would also choose a handsome and young man!"
"That's right, only a fool would choose an old man who enjoys domestic violence."
Jin Baiwan's face flushed with anger, and he angrily said, "Jiang Su is my wife, she cheated on me with a wild man!"
