Ah P sells meat

in story •  2 years ago 

Xiaolan just got her driver's license, and Ah P was afraid that it would be unsafe to drive in the city, so she asked Xiaolan to practice driving with her father-in-law in the countryside. The village is empty and there are few people, it is the most suitable for female drivers to practice driving. But Xiaolan used the gas pedal as a brake and crashed into a pigsty of a family, killing one pig and maiming another. Seeing that the only source of income had been knocked out, the old aunt made Xiaolan lose money.
the
After Ah P learned about it, he hurried to the old man's house. He first went to the poor family and gave the money back to them, but the old aunt cried for another two hundred yuan. Ah, P was so angry, but he still had to comfort Xiaolan: "Honey, don't worry, there will be bumps and bumps when practicing the car. Fortunately, I didn't hit anyone. Be careful next time."
the
Next, Ah P took the two pigs to a nearby slaughterhouse for disposal, because there was no extra-large freezer at home to store so much meat. So, Ah P completed the inspection and quarantine certificate again, put the neatly packed pork on the tricycle, and drove to the town.
the
The town is not big, only a butcher named Liu Da is selling meat. Ah, P drove straight towards him and asked, "Master, do you accept pork? It was just killed."
the
Liu Da circled the tricycle, turned the pork, and saw that it was indeed very fresh, fat, and thin, but he recognized that Ah P was not a local, rolled his eyes, and stretched out a few fingers: "This number, I know everything." I want it, or you won’t be able to sell it until dark. Hehe.”
the
When Ah P heard it, half price? Although I wanted to sell the meat as soon as possible, it was too much to lose, right? Ah, P asked the other party to raise it a bit more, but Liu Da bite the price to death because he concluded that Ah P would not be able to sell, and the meat would have to be sold to himself in the end!
the
Ah, P was enraged. He drove the tricycle across the street and yelled at the price of selling meat. Although the price he yelled was cheap, everyone saw him as an unfamiliar face. They were afraid that he would run away when he sold out. If there was a problem with the pork, everyone would look for it No, so no one dares to buy.
the
What should I do? Ah, P is worried. He hasn't sold one or two pieces of meat so far, and the meat will soon be stale. Ah, P stared at Liu Da, and suddenly got a plan. His eyes lit up, and he immediately rode a tricycle to find a hardware store.
the
Liu Da saw that Ah P was pulling the pork away, and shouted with a smirk, "Boy, the meat is no longer for sale? Give it to me at 40% off, or it will stink, haha!"
the
Ah, P didn't turn his head back, thinking: riding a donkey to read the libretto, let's wait and see!
the
Half an hour later, Ah P came back. He bought a speaker and brought a table covered with a tarpaulin, and the pork was placed on it. There was a repeated cry from the speaker: "Measure the meat with a ruler, No money is not allowed, if the error is more than one or two, the meat is taken away, and it is free!"
the
Liu Da saw that Ah P came back again, and even did some flower work, using a ruler to measure the meat, how to sell it? When passers-by heard Ah P yelling like this, they also felt fresh. Some have heard of meat being weighed and weighed, but they have never heard of measuring meat with a ruler! Immediately, a group of people gathered around curiously.
the
Ah, P waved a one-foot-long iron ruler in his hand, and said to everyone: "You just say which piece of meat you want to cut, and I will settle the account by the catty." A guy understood it, and pointed to a piece of meat first: "Give it to me." Cut this piece."
the
Ah, P has made up his mind. He must say something wrong at the beginning. Sending out two pieces of meat for free is equivalent to spending money on advertising to attract people first so that he won't have to worry about selling it. So, Ah P cut off a piece of meat according to the boy's request, then measured the length, width, and height with an iron ruler, and opened his mouth: "Two catties, two taels."
the
The guy took the meat and saw that Ah P didn't use the scale to weigh it again. He looked at Ah P suspiciously. That means, are you sure that you have to go through the scale to prove it?
the
Ah, P smiled knowingly: "I've said it all, I only have a ruler, but no scale." He pointed to Liu Da across the street, "Can't you find someone with a scale nearby to weigh it? It's not my scale, it must be fair .”
the
The guy immediately understood. He took the meat and ran across the street to weigh it, and shouted excitedly, "It weighs two and a half catties, and you can't measure it accurately. This meat..."
the
Ah, P pretended to be surprised: "Huh? There's so much difference?" Then he slapped his chest, "I, Ah P, keep my word, no, the meat is free, take it away!"
the
The crowd was boiling, and a woman rushed forward with her child in her arms and asked for a piece. After Ah P had counted and reported the number, the woman also ran to Liu Da to claim, but the result was still inaccurate. Ah, P waved his hand: "Give it away, take it away!"
the
Now, there is an endless stream of people asking for meat, but Ah P never misses it.
the
Seeing that Ah P kept collecting money, Liu Da on the opposite side couldn't sit still. People were buying Ah P's meat. Who would he sell his meat to? What's even more irritating is that those who buy meat come to him for weighing, but he doesn't earn the money. Isn't this disgusting? No, I have to deal with that kid, Ah P!
the
Liu Da took advantage of people not paying attention and lowered his scale by a couple of taels. In this way, see if you, Ah P, can afford to pay.
How did Ah P know that Liu Da had tampered with Scale? Sure enough, the next customer who went to the scale would yell inaccurate. Ah P was taken aback, seeing Liu Dachong smiling sinisterly by himself, comparing the weights reported at both ends, and there was a loss of one or two, and he immediately understood that Liu Dachong had lowered the scale. Ah, P waved at the customer: "Wrong again? Take it away, free!"
the
Originally, the crowd had calmed down. Seeing that Ah P made a wrong measurement again, everyone hoped that they would be the next lucky one, and another wave of panic buying followed. But after Ah P finished the measurement, he deliberately missed a word or two, and the result was right again!
the
Soon, Ah P sold out a pig, which made Liu very anxious. The adjusted scale was inaccurate, so how could Ah P report the same number? This kid has two brushes!
the
Liu Da took a deep breath on his cigarette, then secretly adjusted the scale up by two taels. Liu Da didn't dare to adjust too much, if someone checked his scale and thought that he used to sell meat on "ghost scales", it would be a big loss. Despite this, Liu Da is still confident that he can trick Ah P.
the
Sure enough, there was an error in the numbers at both ends, and the lucky customer happily took away the meat, attracting many crowds to watch again. Ah, P's mind changed: Alright you Liu Da, play with me, let's see how I can subdue you. Ah, P reported the number again, deliberately reporting one or two more. He stared at the customer carrying the meat to the scale, and from Liu's surprised expression, he concluded that it was right!
the
Ah, P raised his chin provocatively at Liu Day. When Liu Day saw him, he broke out in a cold sweat. This kid's ruler is incredible! Seeing that he didn't sell a piece of meat, but there were more and more people around Ah P's stall, Liu Da couldn't help it, walked over and said, "Brother, then, don't sell it, I will take all the rest of the meat." How about a 20% discount?"
the
Ah, P is happy. When you first came here, you said 20% off, and I already sold it to you. Now you see that I sold it quickly, and another 20% off? Ah, P saw that it was getting late and the meat was almost sold out. Most of the people who stayed were watching the fun, so he puffed up his chest and said, "10% off, do you want it or not?"
the
Liu's big eyes were about to burst into flames. He thought for a while and said, "10% off is 10% off! But, you have to teach me how to measure meat with a ruler! Why are you so accurate?"
the
Hearing what he said, everyone pricked up their ears curiously. Ah, P proudly said, no problem, but he can only teach him after the money and goods are cleared. Liu Dayi stomped his feet, and the deal was completed. The two quickly weighed and paid. Ah, P looked at the amount in his mobile phone, which was more than the money to compensate the old aunt, and he was secretly happy. He asked Liu Da to get a pen and paper, and he muttered something to himself and asked the other party to write down the "secret": "The length, width, and height of the meat, the height is the thickness of the meat, and the three are multiplied together. The proportion of white meat and red meat should be more or less It’s a judgment because the density of red meat and white meat is different... well, multiply it by the density you judged..."
the
There were a few middle school students next to them, who seemed to hear the advanced lecture content, and shouted: "Wow, big brother is so amazing!"
the
Liu Da took the paper and pen, but couldn't write down a single word. He heard one head and two big words: "Why do you need so much knowledge to sell meat? If I want to have that ability, what kind of meat do I sell?! "Liu Dayi dropped the pen and paper, stopped studying, and went to the opposite side with the pork on his shoulders.
the
Ah, P laughed: Fighting with Ah P? Far from it! He cleaned up quickly and drove a tricycle back to his husband's house.
the
The father-in-law heard that Ah P sold all the meat with a ruler, and his eyes widened. Does my uncle still have this ability? He helped to unload the car, but when he lifted the table, he was stunned, and then blurted out: "Stinky boy! Let me tell you where you are..."
the
I saw that the oil-proof tablecloth was lifted, a square opening was sawed on the table next to Ah P, and a small flat electronic scale was embedded in it. When the tablecloth was covered, nothing could be seen, except for a small display screen on the side. , very hidden, once the cut meat is placed on top, how can it be forbidden to sell meat? Ah, P went to the hardware store just to buy scales and modify tables.
the
He made money wisely. For dinner, there was pork head roasted by Xiaolan himself. Ah, P was in a good mood and whistled triumphantly.
