"Hello, Boss. My name is Ai Xiaohu."
"Little Tiger?"
There are indeed a lot of people named Xiaohu these days, especially in the countryside.
Everyone hopes that their children can grow up like a tiger, but they are also worried that the word "tiger" is too aggressive and the child cannot control it, so they add the word "small" in front of it.
"Hello, my name is Liu Xiaojun."
Liu Xiaojun looked at the nephew brought by the third aunt. He saw that the man was in his early twenties, wearing a gray cotton jacket, and he could smell a slight smell of cigarettes on him.
I picked up a Daqianmen cigarette and handed it over:
"Ever killed a rabbit?"
Ai Xiaohu took a look and his expression changed immediately. He was too honest to respond:
"Da Qianmen? This is really good cigarettes. I... I can't smoke such good cigarettes. Why don't you smoke it yourself? I'll just smoke tobacco leaves."
Liu Xiaojun looked at the young man and saw that he had a simple smile on his face and spoke sincerely, which immediately made him like him more.
"Just take it if you're told to."
This young man is so honest, unlike the uncle and aunt. If this big front door was given to the uncle or aunt, the old couple would definitely accept it immediately, for fear of regretting it...
Liu Xiaojun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's true that good bamboo shoots come from bad bamboo.
Seeing Liu Xiaojun's serious face, Ai Xiaohu was afraid of making Liu Xiaojun angry, so he rubbed the corners of his clothes with his hands, then carefully took the big front door with both hands and clamped it between his ears.
Liu Xiaojun took two people and pulled a rabbit out of the rabbit cage. He then asked the third aunt to go to the kitchen and get a knife and hand it to Ai Xiaohu.
"Xiao Hu, I don't take in people without skills. I don't need to ask about your past, but you must have real skills."
"Butchering rabbits is different from slaughtering pigs. The rabbit skin can be sold for money, but I ask you to keep the fur intact when you slaughter the rabbit. Can you do that?"
Ai Xiaohu took the knife and said nothing. He cut the fur with one stroke, splitting it directly along the grain without any struggle.
A rabbit was processed so that its fur was completely preserved, and his craftsmanship was even better than that of Liu Xiaojun and Sha Zhu combined.
Liu Xiaojun's eyes lit up, he felt like he had found a treasure.
Patting Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder, he said, "Good job, young man! That's a good skill."
"How much did you make per month at the slaughterhouse?"
Ai Xiaohu was praised by Liu Xiaojun, touched his nose and said embarrassedly:
"I used to work for a relative who told me he'd pay me 6 yuan a month. But after working for three years, I realized that based on my years of experience, butchers should have earned 20 yuan a month. I found out they had pocketed three years' wages, so I stopped working for them!"
"Good boy, you have backbone." Liu Xiaojun thought to himself that this kid was too honest. He only found out about this after working for three years, and he really didn't ask.
"You're a butcher, it's a hard job and requires skill. Come and try me out for a month. I'll pay you 18 yuan the first month. If the amount of rabbits you slaughter increases, your salary will increase accordingly. How about that?"
"18?" Ai Xiaohu shouted in disbelief. This was three times higher than his previous salary!
"Yeah." Liu Xiaojun nodded slowly.
"Okay, Boss, I'll work with you, but I have no place to live right now. I need to find a place to live first. Once I rent a house, I'll come to report here."
"Okay, go ahead."
Liu Xiaojun didn't stop him, nor did he ask him to rent his own house.
Although he had built a small courtyard as a reward for capturing enemy spies, he reserved that house for his family to live in and would definitely not let outsiders live in it.
Now that the butcher has been found, Sha Zhu and I will just have to work hard for another day tonight, and we won’t have to kill the rabbits ourselves tomorrow!
Over here, Liu Xiaojun is slaughtering a rabbit.
At the same time, at the street office.
The street was holding a meeting, and more than 20 street cadres were sitting at the conference table, not daring to speak.
Director Wang looked at the letter of complaint in front of him and asked in a tone that was neither happy nor angry:
"What do you think about this letter of complaint?"
Everyone has read this letter, which reports that Liu Xiaojun from Siheyuan opened a shop without permission and falsified accounts.
Normally in this situation, the street office would have sent people to investigate long ago.
But now is a critical period for public-private partnership, and Liu Xiaojun is the first person in their street to actively respond to this policy. If he takes people to search immediately, it will definitely make other private merchants more afraid to cooperate with the government.
"Xiao Liu, what do you think?"
The person who has been in contact with Liu Xiaojun's roast rabbit shop has always been Xiao Liu. If there really are false accounts, Xiao Liu should be the one who knows it best.
Xiao Liu: "Director Wang, I've shown you all my accounts. Every single item is crystal clear. Furthermore, the ingredients for this roasted rabbit shop are produced and sold by Liu Xiaojun's family. There are no middlemen involved. The weight of each rabbit, the fur, and everything else is clearly recorded. There's absolutely no possibility of falsifying the accounts."
"If you say it's impossible for Liu Xiaojun to falsify the accounts, then I can only say that the person who reported it must have a grudge against Liu Xiaojun."
Director Wang nodded. "Do you know who sent this letter?"
Everyone at the table shook their heads and said they didn't see it.
Suddenly someone whispered, "I think a projectionist came in when this letter appeared, but I don't know if it was him who projected it."
Director Wang was puzzled: "Movie projectionist?"
The clerk nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen it before when I was watching an open-air movie."
Director Wang knew that there was a movie projectionist living next door to Liu Xiaojun's house.
"Do you remember what that person looked like?"
The clerk thought for a long time and couldn't find any words to describe it.
Director Wang asked, "Does it have a horse face?"
The clerk immediately nodded and said, "Right, right, right. I was thinking about it for a long time but I still don't know what to think. Director Wang hit the nail on the head."
"Okay, I know what's going on with this matter. You all can go back first." Director Wang had a rough idea in his mind after hearing this.
It seems that Liu Xiaojun is being envied.
Their courtyard is really not peaceful. First it was Jia Dongxu, and now it's Xu Damao. None of them wants Liu Xiaojun to have an easy life?
Director Wang immediately decided to go to the roast rabbit shop to warn the boy tomorrow. Fortunately, he was stopped after being reported to her. If she had used other means directly, Liu Xiaojun would have been caught off guard and would have been in trouble.
at the same time.
Xu Damao, who had been waiting outside the street gate for most of the day, began to feel puzzled when he saw that the people in the street had not come out yet.
Isn’t it said that the street office will immediately go out to investigate after receiving a letter of complaint?
How come there is no movement after half a day?
After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, Xu Damao simply gave up waiting.
Forget it, I’m afraid I can’t rely on these good-for-nothings, I’d better rely on myself!
Go back first. He has an appointment with Yu Haitang for lunch tomorrow. He will take her directly to the roast rabbit shop. After the meal, put a dead cockroach in it and say that he found a dead cockroach in the roast rabbit.
By then, Liu Xiaojun’s roast rabbit shop will have lost its reputation and no one will go there!
