Chapter 86: Buy meat in line, make trouble in the back
It only takes one turn to get to the butcher shop from their small Western-style building.
Thanks to Lao Toule, transporting meat is quite convenient.
Liao Weidong frowned when he saw Jiang Su following him. "Why did you leave him alone at home?"
"I'm sure you can't handle it all by yourself. If anyone else comes to cause trouble, I'll be an extra helper."
Jiang Su said she wanted to help Liao Weidong lift the meat, but it was only half pork. She grabbed a pork leg and couldn't lift it even after using all her strength.
"Don't touch it, it's dirty. Go back to the store." Liao Weidong said as he used some strength to lift half of the pork down from the old man's room.
Jiang Su knew that he was not capable of doing the lifting work, so he obediently went into the store.
There were two rows of cold storage cabinets in the store. Because there was no food, these cold storage cabinets were sold very cheaply during the famine at the end of the world, so she bought several and put them in the space.
Looking at the electronic scale on the counter, I guess no one here has ever seen it before.
Liao Weidong no longer cares whether others will become suspicious. He just does whatever is convenient. This electronic scale is more convenient and accurate than a beam scale.
Jiang Su and Liao Weidong agreed on a statement, saying that these were cold storage cabinets and electronic scales shipped from Hong Kong.
Because Liao Weidong had given beef to those eloquent aunties when he was selling beef before, his store had already become famous before it opened.
As soon as the restaurant opened today, many people came to watch the fun. In fact, most of them came because the aunties said that the boss of this restaurant is tall and handsome, good at dealing with people, and very generous.
Moreover, today is the first day of opening, and Liao Weidong and Jiang Su are organizing a promotion where you can buy one pound and get one pound free.
Buy a pound and get a pound free. For people in this era, it is really a great bargain.
I have never encountered such a good thing before, so once the word spread, many people came.
Many of the aunties who came were only looking at Liao Weidong. Jiang Su stood behind the counter, smiling with her lips pursed.
The way the aunties looked at Liao Weidong was like a mother-in-law looking at her new son-in-law, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Liao Weidong didn't talk much, just worked silently. Jiang Su had never sold anything before, and didn't know how to shout enthusiastically, so he just stood there and watched the scale.
Liao Weidong had never sold pork before, but he was good at everything he did, so he was very skilled at cutting pork.
He could roughly estimate how many pounds it would take, and the meat he cut was roughly the right amount.
If the weight is not enough, he will cut a piece to make up for it, and if there is any excess, he will calculate it according to the normal weight.
Buy one pound and get one pound free. The aunties were very satisfied with the boss's generosity.
When someone buys meat and promotes it, more and more people come.
Liao Weidong cut the meat and Jiang Su weighed it, and the two worked together very well.
An old lady who bought two pounds of pork got almost five pounds of pork and was grinning from ear to ear.
I even asked tentatively, "Hey boy, this is your sister. Brother and sister look alike!"
The aunt was very satisfied with Liao Weidong, but she was not sure about his relationship with Jiang Su, so she deliberately said they were brother and sister.
"She is my lover, we are not brother and sister!" Liao Weidong rarely spoke.
Seeing that the aunt was disappointed, Jiang Su put another pig's trotter into her bag.
"Auntie, here's your meat. I'll give you an extra pig's trotter."
Jiang Su was very happy to weigh the meat, and even happier to collect the money.
Although she has a lot of money now, she hasn't seen banknotes for a long time. When she sees the banknotes of this era, she feels particularly familiar and real.
Looking at the meat oil on your hands, you can feel the full flavor of life.
The aunt looked at the pig's trotters in the bag and was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. In the end, she kept praising the couple for being a good match.
"You two are so kindhearted and generous. This store will definitely be a booming business in the future."
"Thank you for your good wishes!" Because the aunt mentioned the couple, Liao Weidong rarely responded to her.
The price of pork at Liao Weidong and Jiang Su's butcher shop is 50 cents cheaper per pound than that at Song Laosan's butcher shop, and they offer a buy one pound free deal, so no one goes to Song Laosan's butcher shop to buy meat.
After learning that a new butcher shop had opened and there was a promotion near the dilapidated house, Song Laosan brought his people over.
Song Laosan had been in jail before, and his friends were not good people, they were all gangsters.
It turned out that there were three or four butcher shops on the street. Some of them were smashed by people hired by Song Laosan, or a group of people sat in front of the shops every day. No one dared to go in to buy meat, so they all closed.
So Song Laosan brought people over to Liao Weidong's newly opened store.
Everyone was bustling around, queuing up to buy meat. When they saw Song Laosan and his group of hooligans coming, they all stood on both sides.
While watching the fun, I also felt sorry that such a good store would be closed down.
Seeing Song Laosan and his group coming in, Liao Weidong just looked up and glanced at them coldly, then continued to cut the meat.
Because Liao Weidong was with him, Jiang Su was not afraid and continued to weigh the meat and put it into bags.
When handing the bag to the customer, Jiang Su said something crisply to Song Laosan and others.
"Pull in line to buy meat, and those who are causing trouble will move to the back. I don't have time to deal with you now."
Jiang Su spoke with confidence because she had seen Liao Weidong beating people. Liao Weidong was able to deal with people like Song Laosan.
So she was not afraid at all, and besides, she could go up and help.
She anticipated that someone would come to cause trouble today, so as long as they dared to come, she would definitely defeat them today.
Let them never dare to come here again. Let’s solve the problem today to avoid trouble in the future.
As soon as Jiang Su spoke, and then he looked at her and Liao Weidong's appearance, Song Laosan remembered who she was.
Aren’t these the man and woman who went to his butcher shop to buy meat that day and said that his meat was not fresh?
But today the man in the cloak is not here.
It turned out that they went to his house that day to cause trouble and scout the place in order to steal his business.
He had been looking for them for several days, but he didn't expect that they would come here to open a butcher shop.
Forget about leaving the store today.
"This meat is so cheap, it must be from infected pigs. How dare you buy it? Be careful not to lose your life if you try to save money!"
"These two guys went to my shop and caused trouble two days ago. They said my meat was not fresh, smashed my stall and beat me."
Song Laosan had a loud voice. He was holding a meat chopping knife in his hand and was shouting and cursing.
"This couple looks like a well-behaved couple, how could they possibly hit Song Lao San? Song Lao San is a bully!"
"Who knows who beat him up, deliberately trying to blackmail the couple? This Song Lao San is really a piece of shit."
Some of the onlookers were whispering. They didn't want to cause trouble in front of Song Lao San and didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Brothers, quickly smash his shop for me and stop him from causing trouble here."
