The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 111, Buying Meat

At 2:30 a.m. the next day, it was time to line up again.

Silly Zhu originally wanted to show off and go to the queue, but unfortunately his feet were too swollen, so Li Weiguo persuaded him to stop. Finally, Yu Yu took his place and went to the queue to buy pork.

Li Weiguo is good at pork. If he hadn't considered being independent, he wouldn't have wanted to queue up.

Originally, I wanted the little girl to stay at home, but she was reluctant to waste her share of her household registration, so she insisted on going.

Okay, just go, as long as Li Weiguo is taking care of him, nothing will happen.

It was also seven o'clock in the morning, and the Dongdan Vegetable Market opened on time.

The meat pavilion in the vegetable market is much more lively than the chicken, duck and goose stalls. Thousands of people have been waiting in line for a long time, like a long, thick black queue, from the door of the meat pavilion to outside the vegetable market square.

There is a general shortage of oil and water in these days. If you ask what meat the common people like the most, it must be fatty pork.

Although chicken, duck and goose are good, they don’t have much oil and water, so they are not on the same level as pork.

Moreover, chickens, ducks and geese are only supplied once during each major festival, and you cannot buy them again. The difference is with pork. In the first ten days, as long as you have a ticket, each person can supply half a catty per day.

After all, people all over the country have the habit of saving meat tickets, and the meat tickets they save have to be bought by others, right?

Li Weiguo and Yu Yu came to the courtyard fairly early and lined up relatively forward. There were more than 20 people in the entire courtyard lined up together, and they could see what was going on inside the meat pavilion if they stretched their heads.

Since the beginning of the sale, the pork guys inside have not stopped. There are five people behind the stall who are responsible for cutting and chopping meat. As soon as the big pieces of meat are put on the chopping board, these butchers will skillfully separate the pork from the bones, and then all Cut it into kilogram-sized pieces and pile them into baskets on the side for the butcher in front of the counter to sell.

There are two butchers in front of the meat kiosk stall, one is responsible for cutting and weighing, and the other is responsible for collecting money and packaging. The efficiency is very high, just like an assembly line, one after another is sold out without stopping.

It has just started to be sold now, and there are still a lot of good cuts of meat in it. The fat pork is piled up one after another, which is quite tempting.

Soon, Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao, who were in front of the queue, bought all the food. They were lucky. Liu Guangqi bought two and a half kilograms, and Xu Damao bought half a kilogram. They were both fatter and thinner than half fat.

It was the turn of Li Weiguo and He Yuyu. Li Weiguo was the only one with a household registration, so today they also served half a catty of meat, half fat and half lean pork belly. Although it was not as good as the fat pork and pork suet, it was not bad.

The girl Yu Yu was lucky. Perhaps the butcher uncle saw her as a little girl coming to buy meat alone and felt pity for her, so he gave her a pound of good fat meat with one knife.

The fat is all white, with only a little bit of lean meat. It's fatter than what I bought yesterday. It's definitely the top-grade fat meat.

"Wow, you're so fat. Thank you, uncle."

Yuyu was so happy now that he narrowed his eyes with laughter.

"Haha, okay, take the pork and go back early." The butcher uncle smiled kindly.

"Yeah. Thank you, uncle."

After the two bought the meat, they didn't wait too long. They picked up the pork and went to the vegetable market, ready to buy some other things. Otherwise, the amount they bought yesterday wouldn't be enough for several meals.

They hadn't gone far when a quarrel came from the meat pavilion behind them.

Turning around to look, it turned out that Jia Dongxu, who was behind the rain drain, was arguing with the butcher uncle.

"Why are you like this? That little girl just got a pound of fine fat pork. It was all white fat. Why is it my turn? There is only so much lean meat. Aren't you bullying others?"

Jia Dongxu looked at the two and a half kilograms of meat in his hand. It was leaner and fatter. When compared with the fat pork obtained by rainwater before, it was unbalanced on the spot. He pointed at the butcher uncle and asked loudly.

But can the butcher uncle pamper him?

The uncle's face darkened, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Sell wherever you cut it. If you like it or not, get out of here!"

"You. I'm going to sue you!"

Jia Dongxu was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak any words. When his mind became hot, he pointed at the butcher uncle and threatened him.

As soon as these words came out, several butchers in the meat booth became angry.

Before the uncle could say anything, another grumpy bald butcher pointed at Jia Dongxu and cursed: "Damn it, which crotch of your pants is not fastened tightly and is exposed to you?"

"Sell whatever part you cut. This is the rule everywhere. If you dare to act wild here, don't even look at where this place is. Public Security! Public Security!!" With that, he shouted to the police not far away. .

The police who were maintaining order over there heard the noise and rushed over immediately.

Li Weiguo took a look from a distance, hey, it turned out to be Xiang Hongjun.

As soon as Xiang Hongjun came over and saw the chaos at the scene, he frowned and asked the bald butcher, "What's going on?"

The bald butcher pointed at Jia Dongxu and said to Xiang Hongjun: "This man is causing trouble here. He doesn't think pork is bad, so he slanders the butcher and interferes with the production and sales order. I suspect he is an enemy."

"Wow"

When the people around him heard this, they immediately distanced themselves from Jia Dongxu. The neighbors in the courtyard behind him also stayed away, not daring to have anything to do with him.

Good guy, this bald man is a ruthless man who holds a grudge. He will crucify Jia Dongxu as soon as he takes action.

"No, no, it's not that the pork they sold me was not good. It was too lean. I was so angry that I just said a few words."

Jia Dongxu panicked now. If he was labeled as an enemy agent, he would definitely be in trouble.

Xiang Hongjun knew what was going on as soon as he saw his character. He was not an enemy/special. He probably just wanted to play tricks and let others cut some fat for him, but it was a pity that they were not used to him.

It was unfortunate enough to be put on duty early in the morning. After maintaining order for a long time, there were still people making trouble here. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face if the leader saw it?

Xiang Hongjun also got angry and ordered with a straight face: "Comrade, please come with me."

"I'm not an enemy/special agent, so why should I follow you? They bullied people and sold lean meat to me." When Jia Dongxu saw that the police were taking him away, he immediately panicked and couldn't speak at all.

After hearing this, the people around who were unaware of the situation whispered and pointed at the butchers in the meat booth.

The several butcher masters had never experienced such anger, and they were immediately angry. If Xiang Hongjun hadn't been here, they would have beaten him.

Xiang Hongjun's face darkened. He didn't want to mess around with him here, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull him.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu became anxious and knocked away Xiang Hongjun's extended hand with a wave of his hand.

Oops. Now Xiang Hongjun is annoyed.

With so many people watching, how could Xiang Hongjun be allowed to let him run wild without the majesty of law enforcement?

So without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed him with two moves. He was instantly knocked down and pushed to the ground. Then he took out copper handcuffs from his waist and cuffed him.

Jia Dongxu is such an idiot. If he had just gone to the police station and explained it to him, he would have been able to let him go. After all, he was very busy maintaining order and had no time to talk to him. Such a little brat.

Who would have thought that someone else would have his hand knocked off because of his arrogant words, so he would have to suffer a little bit.
