I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 43 Xiao Qi Presses Down the Car (Fourth Update)
Meng Zichen is good at braised beef. He is a chef and is especially good at beef and mutton.

At midday, a rich aroma wafted from Meng Jiu's courtyard, attracting neighbors to stop by his house from time to time.

"Grandpa Jiu, what are you cooking? It smells so good."

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, where did you buy the meat?"

"No, it seems like Zichen is cooking meat."

Everyone knew that Meng Zichen worked as a chef in the city, so they stopped asking about the source of the meat.

After all, having good cooking skills makes the food you cook different from what they make.

But everyone gathered in twos and threes at the entrance and didn't leave.

Meng Jiu was still inside processing the mutton demon meat when he heard the discussion. He put down his knife, opened the door, and went out.

"Wasn't there a meeting this morning? Why didn't any of you go?" Meng Jiu asked, looking at everyone curiously.

"Huh? Uncle Jiu, you don't know?" One of the men, a dark-faced man in his fifties, curled his lip in disdain. "Fourth Brother only said a few words before Third Brother Yun went over, his face dark, and asked us what we wanted to do. He implied that Fourth Brother didn't respect him as the Party Secretary and was secretly planning to lead us to do something big. Fourth Brother got angry and said the meeting was adjourned and he didn't care anymore."

Meng Shujun has already gone to town to find a construction team he knows. He wants to dig basements in several old courtyards first and settle them in properly.

As for the other villagers, they can build together if they want, since they can just pay for it themselves.

Under these circumstances, a patrol team certainly cannot be formed.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the Meng family lacks everything except people.

Especially now that Lin Qingquan is still at his uncle's house, they are even safer.

The reason for calling a meeting to form a patrol team was simply because everyone was too panicked, and in this situation, they unconsciously wanted to rely on the always united Meng family.

So, to put everyone at ease, Meng Shujun decided to hold a meeting to reassure them.

Besides, it's not the busy farming season now, so the patrol team can still organize themselves if they want to.

But who would have thought that Yun Laosan would be so petty? He couldn't take care of himself and wouldn't let others take care of him either, as if being the village secretary was something special. Yunmeng Village had become his private property, and he had to give his approval before anything could be done.

laugh!
Meng Shujun scoffed at this; if he wanted to be the Party Secretary, Yun Laosan wouldn't even be a chance.

At Meng Jiu's doorstep, after hearing about what had happened at the brigade headquarters that morning, Meng Jiu wasn't surprised.

He remained calm, but his neighbors were getting anxious.

“Uncle Jiu, you can’t ignore this. Yun Laosan is just hogging the job without doing anything. Now he’s hiring a bunch of people to work on his own house. How can he have the time and energy to care about village affairs?”

"Yes, Grandpa Jiu. His wife and son were killed by a monster, and now he'd love for the monsters to harm everyone in our village too. Does someone like that deserve to be the village secretary?"

"Originally, the appointment was for the fourth brother, but he didn't want to do it, so it was his turn. But what has he done all these years as Party Secretary? All he does is look after his own county's construction teams, only coming back when there's something to make money off him. All he does is his house and car."

Everyone spared no effort in denouncing Yun Laosan, clearly indicating that he had long harbored resentment in the village.

Normally, Meng Jiu wouldn't bother with these messy things, but now a monster keeps popping up, and nine people in the village died because of it yesterday.

And that bull demon that was killed last night, I heard that when it came to Yunmeng Village, it crossed a village and killed twenty-six people.

This is what Lin Qingquan heard from Xia Yunsong this morning.

If you don't prepare in advance, who knows what will happen next?

After dismissing the group, Meng Jiu returned to her room and spoke a few words to Lin Qingquan.

He has a few old friends in town, so it's not that he can't use them. But everyone's in a panic right now, isn't it all because of the monster?
Xia Yunsong is in charge of this, so there's no harm in using him. After the beef was braised, a large pot of mutton soup was also ready.

Eager to make money, Meng Zichen and Meng Shubing each slurped down a large bowl of mutton soup and ate a plate of braised beef before the soup had even cooled down.

Then the two got up satisfied, filled a small clay pot with mutton soup, and packed two boxes of sliced ​​braised beef in a lunchbox.

The group had already discussed it in the morning and decided to bring some raw meat this time.

Things are valued for their scarcity, and bringing too much might lead to haggling and trouble.

Although Meng Zichen was also worried that the meat would taste bad if left for too long, his Ninth Grandfather said that he had a way to keep it fresh and told him not to worry.

Is there a way to keep it fresh?
But I don't see any freezers in the house, so how do we keep things warm?
Meng Shubing slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you thinking about? If your great-grandfather says it can be guaranteed, then it can be guaranteed. Hurry up and load it onto the truck."

These days, nothing is uncommon. You've seen cattle weighing one or two thousand pounds appearing everywhere. Is it really worth worrying about keeping the meat fresh?
Don't let Meng Shubing's rough appearance fool you; sometimes he sees things more clearly than others.

Meng Zichen stopped thinking about it, and the two of them, along with Meng Jiu and Meng Shulan, started moving things into the car.

"Xiao Qi, do you and Zi Yang want to go to the city with your uncle?"

Lin Qingquan glanced at the pile of meat being loaded onto the truck; the smell was actually quite strong. It was sixty kilometers from Yunmeng Village to Qingzhou, and he wasn't sure if this journey would lead to anything untoward.

So he wanted Xiao Qi to come along and help with the car inspection.

"Uncle, are you going to treat me to KFC? I'll go if you treat me."

Meng Qi said in a very serious tone.

"Please, please, have some. Let's go, Miss."

As Meng Shubing spoke, he picked her up and put her into the car, followed by Meng Ziyang.

He didn't think much of it, because he would bring this little darling with him when he went to the city in the past.

With everything ready, Meng Zichen started his beat-up van, which made noise everywhere except for the horn. He chugged and puffed for two minutes to warm it up before finally, like a goose sticking its head out, hesitantly and slowly set off.

"My goodness," Meng Shubing said speechlessly, "I'm not afraid of anything, except riding in your car. This is more intoxicating than Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). Once you make money, you'll definitely need to get a new car. You can't drive this one anymore."

Meng Zichen certainly wanted to change, but he didn't have the money.

But things are different now. If this batch of meat on the truck can be sold successfully, he and his great-uncle can each get 20%.

To be honest, that's already quite a lot, considering they didn't contribute anything to fighting the demons.

According to his initial idea, he would at most receive a delivery fee.

He's not like my second grandfather; he has his pride.

But Ninth Grandfather disagreed and insisted on giving him and his great-uncle 20% each.

"Brother, this car is scary."

Meng Ziyang and Meng Qi sat in the back seat, the two little ones tense up, afraid that the van would run out of steam and stop halfway.

Or perhaps it was too fragile and simply fell apart.

The two were ready to jump out of the car at any moment if things went wrong, so their small eyes looked left and right to see if it was a good time to jump.

Because she had been looking out the window, Meng Qi unexpectedly met a pair of pink eyes as she passed near Green Ivy Mountain.
