Chapter 12: Dividing the Loot

The vegetable market is a public-private partnership. There are rarely people coming to arrest people at the market entrance, and there is a lot of customer flow. The only drawback is that you have to pay a fee.

Now that I have some money, I don’t have to worry about paying the fees.

After we moved the cart, we saw that the vegetable market was packed with people, especially the meat stall, where there was even a queue.

Looking at the crowded crowd, He Yuzhu quickly set up the watermelon stall on the spot.

Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady were selling watermelons, while Wang Gensheng's eyes were on the butcher's shop.

What they sell are black pigs raised by farmers, or perhaps white pigs fed with feed. They probably haven’t been imported yet in those days, and there are still no large-scale pig farms.

However, this black pork is authentic and original. Wang Gensheng couldn't help drooling when he saw it, and he was also a little greedy for meat.

Because the supply of meat was very limited, if you wanted to buy some meat, you had to take the meat coupons issued by the factory. When the supply was tight, you had to use connections to buy it through the back door.

There are even fewer pieces that can be sold on the streets, especially the pork belly with fat, which is very popular.

If you go too late you won’t have any choice, or even be able to buy anything, that’s why so many people are lining up.

These days, city dwellers only have a quota of one pound of meat per month. Everyone wants to buy more fatty meat, but where can you find so much fatty meat for you to share?

As for bones, no one wants them. You can buy half a pig bone for 5 cents. Wang Gensheng happened to hear these words.

While He Yuzhu and the other man were not paying attention, Wang Gensheng sneaked to the butcher shop.

They saw Wang Gensheng didn't even queue up and just kept walking forward; people queuing to buy meat pointed at him.

Wang Gensheng turned around and shouted to the people in line, "I'm here to buy the big bones. If anyone else wants to buy bones, you don't have to line up and follow me."

After hearing what Wang Gensheng said, everyone fell silent immediately.

Sure enough, Wang Gensheng walked to the butcher shop and took out a dollar from his pocket.

He slapped the butcher's knife on the chopping board and said to the butcher, "Boss, wrap that pig bone for me."

The butcher looked up at Wang Gensheng who cut in line, but when he heard that he came to buy big bones, he was no longer angry. Not many people wanted that thing, and most people took it home to eat.

When he heard someone was coming to buy some, he quickly tied up the big bones with some hemp ropes and handed them to Wang Gensheng, saying with a smile, "Little comrade, have eaten. Come back next time."

Looking at the big bones in his hand, Wang Gensheng threw a coquettish eye at the boss and said, "Boss, I want these big bones, but there is not much profit. Can you give me a pig's tail as well?"

After saying this, the boss hesitated for a moment.

Wang Gensheng then added: "I'm done eating. I'll come back to buy from you next time."

Hearing this, the butcher shop owner felt very painful. He picked up a pig's tail and threw it at Wang Gensheng as a bonus.

Wang Gensheng immediately smiled, held the big bone in one hand and the pig's tail in the other, and walked away shaking his head.

Pig bones are indeed cheap these days, and pig trotters are a commodity that no one wants. You can buy one for ten cents, and the front trotter is worth eight cents. This is the characteristic of this era.

When he returned to the watermelon stall carrying the big bone, He Yuzhu and the old lady had already sold all the watermelons. Looking at Wang Gensheng carrying the big bone, He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Brother, do you want to eat meat? Come to the cafeteria where I am later..."

Before He Yuzhu could finish his words, Wang Gensheng threw the big bone and pig tail onto the cart, stepped forward and covered He Yuzhu's mouth with his hands. He whispered, "Don't dare to say that. Those things are public property. If you dare to take them privately, you will be caught. Do you still want to work?"

With his mouth covered, He Yuzhu continued to whimper. Wang Gensheng used his other hand to slap him on the forehead and said:

"I know you often bring lunch boxes home, but those are just leftovers. As a chef, you can just pack them up and take them out, and no one can say anything to you. But this pork is different. If you get caught, it's not worth it."

After Wang Gensheng released He Yuzhu's mouth, He Yuzhu said, "Look, you said that. I didn't take it, did I? I listen to you and won't mention this matter again."

Then he patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "It's enough for you to know how serious this is. Also, if you bring lunch boxes home in the future, it's fine to give one to Qin Huairu's family, but if she comes to your house to ask for help or borrow money from you again, you are not allowed to agree to her request."

"Why? Her family is made up of two widows with three children. If they don't support her, how can Sister Qin's family survive?"

Wang Gensheng kicked He Yuzhu on the butt and said, "You are almost letting her suck your blood, and you still care about whether she is living well. Why don't you go and see who is so close to her in this courtyard? They are all afraid of being entangled by her family."

"I told you, but you still don't believe me? Didn't you see that He Yushui told you the same thing yesterday when she came back from eavesdropping at her house? There are many things here that you don't understand, and we are telling you things that we understand, but you still don't listen."

"If it doesn't work, ask the old lady and see what she says."

He Yuzhu turned his head again to look at the deaf old lady behind him.

The deaf old lady sat cross-legged on the cart, knocked on the cart with her walking stick and said solemnly: "Zhu Zi, Gensheng is right. If she wants to borrow money from you in the future, just say you don't have it. If you really can't avoid it, just say your money is with me, your grandmother, and let her come to me to get it."

Hearing the deaf old lady say this, He Yuzhu's face fell. He pulled the cart sullenly and headed back in silence.

At this time, the sound of the system came into Wang Gensheng's mind.

"Ding Dong, training He Yuzhu, completion rate 20%.

Evaluation: Fair.

Reward: A consolation prize package. "

Hearing the reward sound coming from the system, Wang Gensheng grinned, leaving the deaf old lady confused, not knowing what this guy was laughing at.

When they got home, the three of them took out all the money they had earned from selling the watermelons and counted it.

In addition to the one dollar for the big bone, there were still 18 dollars. Wang Gensheng took out two dollars and handed them to He Yuzhu, who hurriedly shook his hand to refuse.

Wang Gensheng smiled and said, "Please accept it. I will have to trouble you again in the future. When I save enough money to buy a bicycle, you can go to Pigeon Market with us in the morning."

"When it's almost dawn, you ride your bike to work and I'll bring the old lady back."

After hearing this, the deaf old lady nodded and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, since Gensheng gave you the money, you should take it."

He looked at the deaf old lady, then at the 2 yuan in Wang Gensheng's hand, and took it in his hand, saying: "Then I'll keep it for you first. If you need to buy a bicycle, just come to me and ask for it."

Wang Gensheng smiled and nodded without replying.

He took out another 3 yuan, put it in front of him, and handed the 3 yuan to the deaf old lady. He smiled and said:

"Old lady, take away the 10 yuan as capital, and the rest we'll split -, yuan each. Do you have any objection to that?"
