Chapter 27 Buying Meat
"Haha, this stall of mine is inherited from my ancestors. My grandfather was a butcher, and my father was a butcher. It's been passed down to me and I am still a butcher. When my son grows up, he will definitely be a butcher too." The shopkeeper said happily.
"Yes, they are almost the same. When I opened the stall before, my eldest brother would often come to help me. He did his job well and was smart. He basically knew all the customers who often bought meat. Except that I didn't let him kill pigs, he did other work on the meat stall very well." Yun the butcher boasted.
"Brother, you really have a good son. When you are stable in the future, you can continue to do this business. Speaking of which, my eldest son is only eight years old, it is still too early for him to help me with work. I really envy you, brother." The shopkeeper said enviously.
"You are doing well here, living in the capital city, which is stable. You don't have to leave your homeland to escape famine like us."
"Yes, our life in the capital city will be more stable. I also heard from others that a large number of refugees have gathered at the city gate. It is too difficult to live now." The shopkeeper also sighed.
"Yes, there are indeed a large number of refugees gathered at the city gate tower. However, our entire village is fleeing famine, and we do not plan to settle down in the capital city. Today we are here to buy things on behalf of the village. Tomorrow we will continue to head south." said Yun the Butcher.
"Our family is all in the city, and most of our relatives are also here. There is plenty of water and food in the city now. Therefore, not many people in the city are willing to flee famine." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
"It's good to be like you. It's very stable, and we envy you very much. However, we have to go south to escape the famine. There is a shortage of water and food outside the city, and it is difficult to survive. We also want to find an ideal place and settle down." Yun the butcher said helplessly.
"Alas, now the government has restricted refugees from entering the city, otherwise the city would be in chaos." The shopkeeper said thankfully.
"It's not easy for any of them. Boss, I want to buy some fat meat. What's the price of fat meat now?" Butcher Yun asked, pointing at the fat meat on the table.
"The fat meat is 300 wen per pound, and the pork belly is 260 wen per pound."
"I want to buy 100 kilograms of this all-fat meat first, so that I can make oil to eat when I go back. For people like us who have been on the road to escape famine, our bodies cannot bear not eating meat for a long time. Lard is convenient to eat and the aroma is not so strong, which is suitable for us now. I bought a lot at once, can you make the price a little cheaper?" asked Yun the butcher.
"How about this, you have sold meat before, you know the market conditions. In the city, meat with only fat does not sell as well as pork belly, and it sells out as quickly. The main reason is that the residents in the city usually have no shortage of oil and water. Therefore, there are not many people willing to buy meat with only fat. You want one hundred catties, and I'll charge you two hundred and sixty cents per catty. This saves me from selling it catty by catty. Do you think this is a good idea?" The shopkeeper looked at Yun the butcher and said.
Butcher Yun thought about it and realized that the price was not high. Before, in good years, fat meat in the town was also 300 coins per catty. And the shopkeeper gave it a much lower price. Indeed, the price was very suitable. In this way, every household in the village could get a few catties of fat when they return, and refine it into oil to supplement nutrition on the way.
Just eating grains, pickles, and kimchi is not nutritious. After a long time, the elderly and children with poor physical fitness will definitely get sick. With lard, it can occasionally supplement nutrition. And this shopkeeper really took care of him, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap all of a sudden.
"Okay, shopkeeper, thank you so much. After we go back, each of our families can get a few pounds, and the elderly and children can occasionally supplement their nutrition." Yun the butcher bowed to the shopkeeper and said gratefully.
"You're too polite, big brother. I kill a lot of pigs every day. In the past, I delivered the pigs to restaurants and sold the rest in butcher shops. However, in the current situation, restaurant business is not good, and they want much less meat than before. Now, I dare not kill more pigs. I only kill three pigs a day, so that I can sell almost the same amount every day. However, the fat meat is always the last to be sold." The shopkeeper told the truth.
"Okay, boss, please pack 20 kilograms of fat for me. In addition, how much do you sell the offal for? I'd like to buy a few, pickle them with salt when I go back, and eat them on the road. This way it won't be noticeable. As for pig's feet, you also need 20." said Yun the butcher.
"Pig offal is not easy to sell, so I usually sell it at half price and give it away for free. This is because many people don't know how to clean pig offal, and if it is not cleaned properly, it will not taste good. The restaurant orders a few pieces every day. Their chef has a secret to cleaning the pig offal, and the offal he cleans is particularly clean and has no peculiar smell. They first braise the cleaned offal and then stir-fry it to make it spicy, which is a very good dish to go with wine. It sells very well and the price is not high, and it is very popular with diners." said the shopkeeper.
"I'll charge you twenty cents for a pair of pig offal. My pig's feet are relatively large and still have some meat on them. I'll give you thirty cents each." The shopkeeper went to the back of the shop and brought out a basket of pig's feet. He took one out to show Yun the butcher.
Butcher Yun took a look and found that the pig's feet were indeed very big, with a lot of meat on them, and the price was very affordable. Butcher Yun was very satisfied.
"Boss, let's go with the price you said. However, I have to trouble you with one thing. I heard that there is no shortage of water in your city for the time being. Can I borrow a place from you to clean up the pig offal? After we bring the pig offal back, we are short of water and it is inconvenient to clean it up, and it will be too conspicuous." Yun the butcher requested.
"No problem. These are all small matters. The big wells dug by the government in our city have plenty of water. It is convenient for us to use water on a daily basis. Let's put it this way, you go to the yard behind my shop. There is a well in my yard that I hired someone to dig before. Because we use a lot of water, it is inconvenient to always go to get water. At that time, I asked the well digger to dig about 20 meters deeper than the neighbor's well, so there is still water now.
However, I also used it secretly. I didn't dare tell anyone, for fear that someone would sneak into the store at night. I don't live in the store, and if a thief breaks into the store, I won't know, which will be very troublesome. Sometimes, when sales are not good, we will have some meat left and leave it in the store. "The shopkeeper said in a low voice.
"Thank you so much, boss." Yun the butcher said gratefully.
The shopkeeper led Yun the butcher in through the back door and drove the donkey cart into the yard. Then, he closed the door. At first glance, the yard was not small, estimated to be about 60 square meters. There was a big locust tree in the middle of the yard, with a thick and tall trunk. It can be imagined that in previous years when there was a lot of rain, the leaves of the locust tree could cover the entire yard. It must be very cool in the yard in summer.
