rebirth through food

Ye Xiaofeng left Su Mochen at home, took two pieces of bread specially prepared by Mr. Wright, and set off on the road.

The neighbor next door happened to be going to work. After the introduction of Uncle Wright, Ye Xiaofeng went with him to see if there was any job opportunity.

The neighbor is a dark and tall man, Ye Xiaofeng has grown a lot now, but it still only reaches the other's shoulders.

But this Uncle Sam was still very enthusiastic and took Ye Xiaofeng directly to his shop.

He is a clerk in a butcher shop, responsible for cutting and selling beef. It just so happens that this month is the Lunar Festival, and there will be a lot of people buying meat.Yesterday the shopkeeper wanted to hire a temporary clerk, so Sam brought Ye Xiaofeng here.

Before Sam looked at Ye Xiaofeng's beautiful appearance and age, he was really too young and wondered if the shopkeeper would use it.But Ye Xiaofeng is a monk after all, and he has good physical fitness, so he directly helped him load the goods to be delivered into the car, which immediately made Sam change his mind.

Sam took the goods he bought yesterday and Ye Xiaofeng to the neighborhood where he worked.This is a famous commercial street, divided into raw meat, various groceries, restaurants, etc., it is very lively.

Ye Xiaofeng looked at the customs of this foreign land, and his eyes were almost exhausted.

The raw butcher shop where Sam works is very close to the intersection. Although the shop is small, it is very popular. The door has not yet opened, and many people are waiting outside.

Sam patted Ye Xiaofeng on the shoulder and asked him to follow him to the back.Sure enough, the shopkeeper looked dissatisfied when he saw Ye Xiaofeng's appearance, and then Sam said something in a low voice, the shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, "Young man, since Sam said you can do it, then try it. The salary here is Fifty copper coins a day, and if you do well, you can add more. There is a meal at noon, but you have to take turns."

"Okay." Ye Xiaofeng didn't know how the money here was calculated, and he couldn't guess whether the fifty copper coins were high or low, but seeing that Sam's expression didn't change, it should be considered reasonable, so he nodded readily in agreement.

After putting on an apron and washing his hands, Ye Xiaofeng joined the ranks of selling meat.

This shop is really small, except for the owner who is responsible for collecting the money, Sam is responsible for dividing the meat, and Ye Xiaofeng is responsible for wrapping the meat and handing it to the customers.

It seemed that Ye Xiaofeng was unnecessary, but he was still startled when the guests rushed in.

The long line that quickly formed from the inside to the outside of the store made Ye Xiaofeng wonder why the beef here is so popular.

Sam told Ye Xiaofeng a few words, and began to lower his head and busy cutting the meat.Thirty copper coins for a catty of meat. Sam worked hard to cut it. Ye Xiaofeng bowed his head to help him tie it up with straw rope and green leaves and hand it to the other party.

It seems simple, but it is not easy after repeated operations. The extremely fast frequency makes the three of them so busy that they hardly have time to look up. However, it is obvious that the money in the money box has gradually increased. Ye Xiaofeng can even hear the shopkeeper Laughter from time to time.

The three of them were busy until the afternoon, and they didn't even bother to eat.After seeing off the last customer in the afternoon, Uncle Sam closed the store, and the owner smiled from ear to ear.

"It would be great if every month was the Suyue Festival." The shopkeeper went to the back with the money box, and would bring back a few breads, some ham slices and other food. "Today is too slow, let's eat first."

Ye Xiaofeng and Sam were very hungry, especially Ye Xiaofeng, who ate a piece of bread and a fried egg in the morning, and the two slices of bacon were also thin.

Naturally, he was embarrassed to eat too much under the fence, but he didn't expect such a simple job to be physical work.

Not to mention Sam, who was a big man and cut up beef.This division is not a square piece of meat waiting for him to cut, but includes deboning and the like.

After eating and drinking, Ye Xiaofeng thought that the day's work was done, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper brought them to the backyard.

In the backyard are the cattle that have been brought in. Sam explained that these cattle will be sold tomorrow, so they must be killed today.

I thought killing a bull was a simple matter, but I didn't expect these two big men to stage a Spanish bullfight in front of Ye Xiaofeng.

This cow was tall and big, much bigger than the one Ye Xiaofeng knew, basically killing one would be enough for them to sell tomorrow.There are still dozens of them here, and it is estimated that they will be sold until the end of the Lunar Festival.

Seeing the two men running all over the yard being chased by the bull, Ye Xiaofeng finally broke down. He couldn't help but stepped forward and poked the cow's ear a few times.

The frenzied cow fell down in an instant. Sam tried to check and found that the cow was dead. He couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaofeng in surprise.

"Uh... I'm a cook. I used to kill chickens and cattle. I used to do it a lot." Ye Xiaofeng also learned this special skill from the chapter on knife skills in the God of Cookery Tower.In this way, the livestock die instantly without pain. Ye Xiaofeng decided to learn it as soon as he saw it.The ingredients that died in his hands basically did not suffer from the pain of being bloodletted to death.

Now that he showed his hand, the shopkeeper and Sam were astonished.

Ye Xiaofeng smiled helplessly, he didn't want to delay too long, the master is still at home waiting for him to go back!

Immediately, he took the sharp knife in Uncle Sam's hand, stroked the cow with the other hand, and began to divide it.

It was supposed to be split in half and the fur removed.After the head, tail, limbs and internal organs are cut off, they are placed in a special warehouse for storage, and the bones are removed when they are sold tomorrow.

However, Ye Xiaofeng had learned the sword skills chapter on the jade slips, and there was a set of sword skills called Paoding knife skills in it.Although I dare not say that I have used it perfectly, but I am very proficient. I have used this knife technique for large and small slaughters this year, and I can use it with my eyes closed.

The only difference is that he has never met such a huge cow before. It is estimated that the bones will be different, and the slaughter speed for the first time is very slow.

But even so, in the eyes of the shopkeeper and Sam, this is already scary fast.

Just ask a teenage boy who looks slender and thin, but can slaughter a Piedmontese cow that is more than ten times his weight. What kind of situation is this?There are more than a dozen butcher shops like theirs on this commercial street, but the butcher of any of them is not a strong man bigger than him.

Sam sighed, but thanks to Ye Xiaofeng, they were able to go home early today.

Ye Xiaofeng had used up all his Pao Ding Dao techniques, the beef had been separated from its flesh and bones, its fur and limbs had been disintegrated to one side, and there was not even a single blood spot on his body.

The owner of the shop was astonished, he laughed so flatteringly that he asked Ye Xiaofeng to rest aside, and he and Sam took over the tidying up.

The two of them got used to this, so it was pretty quick. Ye Xiaofeng went to the front and washed his hands with something like soap next to the pool, and the two of them were almost done.

Ye Xiaofeng took off his apron and tidied up his clothes, only to see the shopkeeper walking over with a smile on his face, and Sam next to him also had a smile on his face.

After the two talked about it, Ye Xiaofeng suddenly understood why the two were so happy. It turned out that there was another person in this family, who was a butcher who was responsible for slaughtering cattle.But now that the Su Yue Festival is here, this person has been maliciously poached by another family. It is almost impossible to find another butcher in a short time.

Seeing that killing one can be sold for two days, but killing one can only be sold for one day. After a while, I am afraid that several heads will be killed in a day.No butcher means no meat and no business.The shopkeeper ordered Sam to buy some things that the butcher needed yesterday. Originally, Sam planned to take Ye Xiaofeng to get used to it, take over his job, and then make time for himself to kill cattle. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaofeng showed such a trick, which made the two People are as excited as if they are going to be received by the king.

The shop owner took out a silver coin and promised 35 silver coins for this month's wages. As long as he kills the cattle at this speed, he can use it even after the Lunar Festival in the future.

This kind of price is quite high, Ye Xiaofeng didn't realize it, and even Sam showed an envious expression.

Ye Xiaofeng took the silver coin and nodded in agreement.This was double his previous salary, and killing cattle was not too troublesome for him.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy two servings of beef." Ye Xiaofeng thought for a while and put the silver coins back in the shopkeeper's hand, "And I want to ask if I can pay my wages every day. I'm penniless now."

"Uh, yes." These two things are not difficult for the shopkeeper, as long as Ye Xiaofeng agrees to let him tide over the difficulties. "Then I will give you one silver coin every day, and I will give you the remaining five at the end of the month."

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper." Ye Xiaofeng smiled, and the eyes of the two uncles on the opposite side brightened. Where did such a beautiful child come from!

Ye Xiaofeng successfully bought two pieces of beef that he had just slaughtered. The quality of the beef was very good, and it was just slaughtered, so it was very fresh.He took two pieces of beef and forty copper coins to say goodbye to the shopkeeper, and drove towards home in Uncle Sam's car.

"Uncle Sam, thank you for the job you introduced to me. This piece of beef is not a tribute, please accept it." Ye Xiaofeng put the beef on Sam's car, and Sam's house was still a few tens of meters away. Get out of the car.

"How is this possible!" Sam's salary was thirty silver coins a month, which was more than Ye Xiaofeng before, but who knew that Ye Xiaofeng had this kind of ability, and his salary immediately surpassed him.Although he was happy that the headache was resolved, he was secretly a little sour.

A small piece of beef from Ye Xiaofeng made Sam's little awkwardness disappear in an instant.He didn't expect a child to think of such things.

"It's okay, this is what you deserve." Sam's eyes softened.

"Uncle Sam, I really appreciate you being able to get a job so soon. Please don't refuse." Ye Xiaofeng grinned, "It's getting late, and I have to go see my brother. See you tomorrow, Uncle Sam."

"Okay, wait for me here tomorrow morning, and we'll go together." Sam was also a straightforward guy, and even though the meat wasn't much, it was the other party's sincerity, so he accepted it.

Ye Xiaofeng had a hard day, but it was also quite fulfilling, and most importantly, he already had a stable job.As for whether the shopkeeper will still need him after the Lunar Festival, he doesn't take it to heart at all. I'm afraid they will have found their way back by then.Seeing that the sun had already set, he hurried into Old Wright's house with the meat.
