Mr. Lin glanced at his phone, confidently picked up his water glass and took a sip: "A machete weighs about 3 pounds, and your piece of steel is enough to forge 3 of them."
(PS: The actual machetes used by the Red Army in history weighed 1.6 kilograms.)
With his physical fitness improved, Liu Kai is not worried about not being able to wield a 5-pound machete.
"Make two 5-pound swords, and sharpen them while you're at it."
"puff!!!"
Mr. Lin sprayed the tea he was drinking all over the floor.
He put down his water glass, narrowed his eyes, and scrutinized Liu Kai from head to toe with a rather critical look.
Even the way they addressed each other changed: "Young man, sharpening this thing... is probably not legal."
Indeed, an unsharpened machete is at best a work of art.
However, once it is sharpened, it becomes a controlled knife.
Liu Kai cut to the chase: "That's right, it's illegal in principle... Why don't you name a price?"
Mr. Lin was an honest man who had worked as a blacksmith all his life, and his first instinct was to refuse Liu Kai's request.
But then he suddenly remembered his daughter's embarrassing illness...
Every family has its own troubles.
With a helpless sigh, he quietly made a hand gesture to Liu Kai: 6!
The labor cost for forging a kitchen knife here is about 350 yuan.
Having to sharpen two large machetes, even at the risk of breaking the law, for 6,000 yuan is really not expensive.
"Yes, how long will it take?"
Come pick it up tomorrow at noon.
"Is it okay before 6 pm today?"
"It's a bit late..."
"Eight thousand!"
"OK!"
I left the blacksmith shop at nine o'clock in the morning, and soon it would be time for the slaughter and trading center to open.
Just as Liu Kai was about to leave, a Mercedes-Benz CLA with a Pikachu sticker slowly drove out from around the corner of the alley.
Lin Xiaorou rolled down the car window, her expression complex.
Liu Kai, who was looking straight ahead, called out softly, "Hey, where are you going?"
Liu Kai's revenge plan is not only to kill people, but also to destroy their spirit!
Therefore, he hid his emotions very well.
With a nonchalant expression, he replied, "I'm going to the slaughterhouse to buy some meat. What's wrong, Teacher Lin?"
"Get in the car, I'll take you there."
"No need, I drove here."
Lin Xiaorou was taken aback by his refusal and was momentarily speechless: "You..."
When he looked at Liu Kai's cheap car in the distance, a hint of disdain still showed in his eyes.
"Get in the car, I have something I want to tell you."
Liu Kai eventually got into the car, but the atmosphere inside was silent.
As the car approached the slaughterhouse, he casually asked, "Didn't Teacher Lin have something to say?"
Lin Xiaorou finally realized what was happening after hearing the question.
"Oh? Oh yes."
She tried to keep her voice calm: "Did you hear anything from my conversation with...my dad?"
"I didn't hear you. What are you talking about? You're not talking about you marrying me, are you? Hehe."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaorou turned her head and glanced at Liu Kai a few times.
Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then... if I said I wanted to marry you, would you agree?"
Liu Kai sneered inwardly: You're here looking for someone to take over your losses?
"How dare I, in my poverty, enter the bustling world? How can I, with my clean hands, mislead a beautiful woman? Um... Teacher Lin, please don't misunderstand, I just feel I'm not good enough for you."
He can spout a lie without any qualms.
This excuse left Lin Xiaorou speechless for a long time.
I was originally planning to take this opportunity to ask for a dowry or something, but this loser isn't playing by the rules.
If she said she wanted to marry him, even if it was just a joke, shouldn't he act flattered?
She wanted to say something more, but they had already arrived at the slaughterhouse.
...
Unlike the deserted market, the slaughterhouse was bustling with people.
Liu Kai couldn't wait to open the car door and get out, walking directly toward a bald man with a cigarette in his mouth not far away.
The bald man was directing the unloading of two large trucks loaded with live cattle and sheep, and he looked like a big-time dealer.
Lin Xiaorou was taken aback when she saw this.
She recognized the bald man; he was a distant cousin.
Why did Liu Kai look for him?
She was still trying to come up with a story to swindle money from Liu Kai later.
So I didn't have time to go over and listen to what the two of them had to say.
But she suddenly realized that in just two short minutes, the two of them went from being strangers to having a more and more enjoyable conversation.
The bald man even laughed and offered Liu Kai a cigarette, then had someone bring over the contract.
After signing the contract, Liu Kai readily took out his phone to pay the fee.
After writing the delivery address on the note, the bald man smiled broadly and waved as Liu Kai left.
The bald man paused for a moment when he saw Lin Xiaorou in the Mercedes-Benz not far away.
He then nodded and greeted his niece kindly.
This time, Lin Xiaorou was completely stumped.
Her uncle, who was only interested in profit and had a large business, was now showing such a fawning expression.
The orders received from Liu Kai are probably worth no less than seven figures.
Seven figures, millions?!
Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes lit up!
Desperate for money, she didn't even want to think about where Liu Kai got so much money, or why he bought so much meat.
The key point is: Liu Kai is rich!
In fact, Lin Xiaorou was completely wrong.
Beef is 35 yuan per jin, pork is 12 yuan per jin, and mutton is 28 yuan per jin.
Buying 2 tons of each only cost 300,000 yuan.
Just now, Liu Kai lied and said that he was just a deliveryman, and that his boss was from out of town. He was just testing the waters in Fenghai City.
If the quality of the fresh meat is up to standard, we will order at least another 1,000 tons of fresh meat next week to be shipped to other places.
He didn't think too much about it.
This excuse was simply to prevent the bald man from using "zombie meat" to deceive him.
But the bald man believed him completely and was very happy to waive the local shipping fee for this transaction.
According to Liu Kai's calculations, this amount of meat would be enough for him to eat for a full 30 years if consumed normally.
With the frozen meat from the freezer that will soon be available for "zero-yuan purchase," he could eat his fill until he's in his coffin.
Back in the car, seeing Lin Xiaorou's complicated and hesitant expression, Liu Kai gave her a meaningful smile.
Then he simply reclined the passenger seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing him fast asleep, Lin Xiaorou didn't dare to say anything more, even though she had a lot to say.
He could only sulk inwardly and send Liu Kai back to the market.
When the car stopped at the station, Liu Kai suddenly opened his eyes like a wound-up toy, and quickly got up and got off.
All that remained was a casual, "Thank you, Teacher Lin."
Lin Xiaorou was speechless: I still have something to say!
I originally wanted to follow Liu Kai's car to see where he was going.
However, considering that Liu Kai would be coming to his father to retrieve the knife that afternoon, she decided to stay at home.
After all, the news of her contracting the disease was no secret in certain circles.
Instead of humbling herself, she went to those "brothers" in society who avoided her like the plague.
She felt that it would be easier to swindle money from Liu Kai, a "decent person".
