Chapter 362 The Popular Meat Stall Clerk
When he heard his father say he would catch sparrows for him, He Ying clapped his hands and shouted excitedly,
"Okay, then Dad, you just do some cooking at home and catch sparrows for me.

I went outside to play with my mother. "

At this time, He Daqing walked out from the Chuihua Gate, and seeing his excited grandson, he asked with a smile,

"Grandson, what are you so happy about? I could hear your laughter in the middle courtyard."

Seeing He Daqing, He Ying immediately opened his arms and ran over.

He ran and yelled,

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad just said he would make something to catch sparrows for me. Can you help me catch sparrows when the time comes?"

Looking at his eldest grandson who ran to him, He Daqing picked him up from the ground and rubbed his bearded face against him.
"Okay, then your grandpa and your dad will help you catch sparrows.

Catch lots and lots of sparrows!"

Although He Daqing promised He Ying to help him catch sparrows,

But at this time, He Ying, who was pricked by the stubble, turned his head away with a look of disgust and resistance.
"Prick, Grandpa Prick, please put me down quickly, my beard is too prickly."

But He Daqing didn't care about that. He continued to hold his noisy grandson, turned to look at He Yuzhu and asked,
"Zhu Zi, are we going to start preparing the tools to eliminate the four pests now? What are you going to do later? Do you need help?"

"Nothing else,
Just make a few slingshots, a couple of scarecrows, and finally prepare some firecrackers, gongs and drums, sulfur, and wet firewood. "

Hearing what He Yuzhu said he was going to do, He Daqing nodded in understanding.

"Okay, I'll go out and buy some rubber bands and firecrackers later!"

Seeing that He Daqing took the responsibility of buying things, He Yuzhu didn't say anything. After putting the bowls and toothbrushes back home, he picked up the stairs under the eaves and placed them on the apple tree.

Just as he was calling Li Qingshan, He Yushui and the other two to help him up the stairs,
Jia Zhang, holding a piece of lean meat in her hand and cursing, walked in from the gate of the courtyard along with Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and several other neighbors.

Hearing Jia Zhang's shouting and cursing, the family subconsciously turned around to look.

Then I heard He Yuzhu ask,
"Aunt Zhang, your family is really arrogant. They only cut the lean meat back.

The meat in your hand must be more than a pound. If it were replaced with fat three fingers thick, the oil from it would probably be enough to eat for a week if you save it a little."

Seeing He Yuzhu talking about this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but stop cursing, and the corners of her mouth twitched even more.

But I couldn't utter a word.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai talked about the cause and effect of the matter.

"Hey, it's not that Mrs. Zhang doesn't want to cut the fat meat to make oil, it's just that she offended someone today and was targeted by the salesperson at the meat stall, and the salesperson simply refused to sell the fat meat to her.

What do you think Zhang Jiezi can do in this situation? "

Hearing that Jia Zhang was targeted by the salesperson, He Yuzhu didn't know what to say.

However, He Daqing next to him said with a smile,

"Mrs. Zhang, I have to say a few words to you about this.

It's not like the old days when you could buy pork at will. Back then you could say whatever you wanted, even if you offended people, and the butchers at the meat stalls couldn't do anything to you.

But ever since we needed meat tickets to buy meat, those salesmen have become one of the best jobs in our country, second only to the eight major officials.

Don’t you think about the fact that the food coupons and meat coupons issued by the authorities now only indicate the quantity of meat, but do not specify the specific types?

Whether to cut the lean meat or the fat meat depends on how the salesperson does it. I ask you, why would you offend them if there is nothing wrong?
Too lean, a whole pound of lean meat, how much oil must have been lost!"

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Yan Bugui, who had returned with him, felt the same way and said with a painful look on his face,

"That's right, Lao He. We really can't afford to offend those pork sellers now.

When they were cutting the meat, we said all the nice things we could, just asking them to cut a little off the mark, so that we could get a little more fat to make oil.

That's it. It depends on whether the person is happy at the time.
If you are unhappy and cut the product a little off, you will lose a lot.

When I saw the salesperson gave Mrs. Zhang all lean meat, I was so distressed that I trembled. "

After complaining, Yan Bugui continued,

"Zhu Zi, those salesmen are so abominable.

Why don’t you report this to your superiors and ask them to punish them so that they won’t embarrass us ordinary people again.”

I heard Yan Bugui ask He Yuzhu to find someone to deal with those pork salesmen.
Jia Zhang, who had just been bullied, reacted immediately and made the same request, which led to other neighbors who came out to watch the fun.

Hearing their request, He Yuzhu refused without thinking,
"Uncle Yan and Aunt Zhang, a pig has so many parts, there is fat and there is lean meat, we can't just throw away the lean meat just because everyone wants the fat to make oil,

Isn't this a waste of things?

Those lean meats will be sold sooner or later anyway, either to you or to someone else, so it doesn't matter who you sell them to.
Moreover, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

We at Fengze Garden and the militia have nothing to do with the supply and marketing cooperative.

If I use my connections to deal with a small pork salesman, the leaders above will definitely say that I am making a big deal out of nothing. How can you let me say this?
Another thing is to let the salesmen know that I told them about the situation and they will only sell us lean meat in the future. Then my family will not be able to make ends meet."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished asking, He Daqing asked in surprise,

"Mrs. Zhang, there are only four people in your family. According to regulations, you only have tickets for 4 jin (2 catties) of meat. It's almost the end of the month. Where did you get the tickets to buy this jin of meat?

And wasn’t your Jia Dongxu caught by the people from the street office when he went to the black market with Yan Jiecheng last time?
Wasn't the meat ticket confiscated?"

When Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai saw her buying pork at the meat stall just now, Jia Zhang knew that the matter could not be concealed at all.

Now that He Daqing had also asked about the issue of meat tickets, he simply started to break the jar and do nothing.

"Of course our Dongxu's meat ticket was not taken away.

Don't you think that Yan Jiecheng was carrying more than 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes? That must have been a huge pile.
As for our Dongxu, he only had a small meat ticket with no specific name on it. He put it in his pocket. Who can say that these meat tickets were bought by our Dongxu on the black market?

They didn’t catch him in the act.”

Seeing that Jia Zhang directly told the matter,

Yan Bugui, who had just learned the news not long ago but had already made a plan, immediately became anxious.
