Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 826 Meat Buying Incident

Those old ladies were lucky, there was still a lot of meat on the meat board when they rushed over.

Several old ladies went to line up happily, but they were constantly calculating in their hearts how much meat they would have left when it was their turn. Which piece of meat should they cut?

When it was their turn, there was still a lot of meat left on the meat plate, and the old ladies were smiling from ear to ear.

I even started to think about how to eat the meat.

You can't eat all this meat at once. The fat meat has to be cut off and made into lard. When it's time to use it for cooking, it will be considered to be stained with meat.

Do you want to lean the meat? Chop it up, mix it with a lot of vegetables, use part of it to make dumplings for the Chinese New Year, and fry the other part into meatballs. When spring comes, put one in the vegetables every time you cook, and the vegetables will be oily without adding oil. Sizzling.

What a few old ladies had in mind was quite beautiful, but they made many calculations, but they neglected one thing, that is, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, people who are usually reluctant to part with it will be more generous during the Chinese New Year and cut more. Some meat so that the family can have a good New Year.

It's rare to find meat, so why don't you use all the meat tickets you've saved at home for half a year?

So when it was their turn, there was not much meat left on the meat table.

Seeing the people in front of them cutting off the last piece of fat, the old ladies were so distressed that they were cut off as if it were their own flesh. Their mouths were pouting, and sparks were almost coming out of their eyes.

I wanted to rush forward and snatch the piece of meat off, but I just looked at the tall and powerful person on the other side and silently retracted.

The old ladies looked at the pure lean meat with almost no trace of fat on the meat table, frowning, showing dissatisfaction.

At this time, fat meat is a good thing. Each family does not have much oil stamps, so they all rely on the oil refined from this little fat meat to add meat to the house.

The old ladies felt that they were really at a disadvantage by exchanging their hard-earned meat coupons for these lean meats.

An old lady at the front of the queue stared at her for a long time, which made the people waiting in line behind to buy meat impatient. She shouted loudly to the front: "Are you still buying it? If you don't want to buy it, don't wait there." , we still want to buy it.”

The old lady ignored the urging of the people behind her and walked to the side of the meat board. She turned her eyes and somehow saw a piece of meat placed under the meat table.

Looking at the fatter and leaner piece of meat, the old lady's eyes lit up. Then she pointed at the piece of meat and said, "I want this piece. Give it to me from the top of this piece of meat."

Looking at the meat that the old lady was pointing at, the butcher's face didn't look good at that time.

In all walks of life, there are always some unwritten rules and tacit understandings.

Just like salespersons can use their work to get some in-demand products or buy some defective products without tickets, they butchers will always save some good meat for themselves and their relatives and friends.

Of course, this special treatment is not unlimited.

After all, there is a fixed portion of the meat served at the meat stall every day. It is impossible to say that you can keep as much as you want, and leaving too much will affect normal sales and easily cause dissatisfaction among residents, who will then be sued. It's not worth it anymore.

So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the butchers usually come in rotation. You stay today and I stay tomorrow.

Of course, they didn't get it for free, they wouldn't miss a penny of the money and tickets they should have spent.

Everyone knows these things tacitly, and many people know it, but they don’t say much. After all, most people cannot deny that they enjoy the convenience of work.

Another thing is, when you buy meat, you have to rely on other people’s butchers and salespeople. This really offends people. They have ways to make you suffer a loss and you can’t even tell them about it.

But is the old lady the kind of person who follows the "rules"?

If she was really the kind of person who would follow the "rules", she wouldn't be causing trouble now. There was no telling whether he could do this or not, but now that the old lady had clearly picked him out, the butcher felt a little embarrassed at the time.

He suppressed his temper and explained to the old lady as kindly as possible: "I have already bought this. The money and tickets have been paid. I have to leave me alone for a while because of something else."

Will the old lady listen to his explanation?

of course not!

If these old ladies were the kind of people who would listen to explanations, they wouldn't be the ones living in the same courtyard as Jia Zhang.

So when faced with the butcher's explanation, the old lady turned a deaf ear and clamored to cut the piece of meat.

When she made such a fuss, the butcher, who had always been favored by others, was no longer happy. He said with a dark face: "If you want it, don't leave quickly. Don't delay others from buying meat."

As he said that, he shouted to the people in the back: "Next!"

When the butcher ignored her, the old lady was unhappy.

She is used to acting out and getting into trouble whenever she encounters something dissatisfactory. People in the family are concerned that she is the elder and are afraid that if things get out, they will be labeled as unfilial, so they will comply whenever she makes a fuss. she.

As for those people outside, firstly, because she is old, they are afraid that something will really happen to her and her family will blackmail her, and secondly, because everyone wants to lose face, they are afraid that if she entangles her, they will also get involved. He was embarrassed, so he didn't argue with her.

Who would have expected that this would make the old lady think of rolling around as a trick, thinking that as long as she rolls around, others will obey her in everything.

No, when she saw that the butcher was unwilling to cut the meat to her, she started to quarrel with the butcher.

It is said that the old lady lived in the same courtyard with Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai and others, and learned all their moves clearly.

Moral kidnapping is just a small thing, and one big hat after another is going straight to the butcher's head!

They clamored to sue the butcher for corruption, pointing to the meat under the butcher case and saying that was the proof.

When the old lady made such a fuss, the butcher's face turned completely black.

But he was not good at words, and he really didn't know how to refute for a moment.

The department store manager who rushed over after hearing the sound broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the old lady's accusations one after another.

This old lady really dares to say anything.

The manager of the department store originally had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but who knew that his wife asked the butcher to keep the meat today.

Although it is an unwritten rule, it cannot be seen in the light after all. This really makes the old lady continue to make trouble and attract the attention of interested people. If she is reported to the higher authorities, he will follow suit without saying anything. It is inevitable that someone will Use this to pull him down.

The people in line behind the old lady watched the old lady's performance and stopped talking at this time.

First of all, this matter has nothing to do with them. They are just spectators. No matter how serious the trouble is, it will not touch them.

Secondly, they also have their own little thoughts. They want those who are usually "above and above" to be punished.
