Chapter 21: A New Big Customer at the Meat Stall

That person chuckled. “Chen, I’m not as insincere as you guys. I’ll lose a piece and treat it as making this boss a friend.”

It was still the same thing. If he could deal with it, he wouldn’t lose anything. It was all profitable. It was better than those who bargained and sold the goods to the night market.

“Boss, how about it? As long as you ask, we can discuss it!” The meat seller continued to shout.

Unexpectedly, the fatty from the restaurant did not even look at him. Instead, he looked at the meat on Chen Guoqiang’s table. “The meat is not bad, but the price is too low. I wouldn’t want rumors spreading about our Yunke Lai Restaurant to bully others. How about this, let’s do it according to the market price!”

Chen Guoqiang’s eyes widened. “At market price?”

Yang Yumei’s attention was on Yunke Lai Restaurant. She tugged at Chen Guoqiang’s clothes. “Guoqiang, Yunke Lai Restaurant!”

Chen Guoqiang also came back to his senses. Yunke Lai Restaurant was the first-class restaurant that the citizens of City Z tacitly acknowledged.

The sudden voice interrupted their surprise. It was the owner of the meat stall opposite them. “Boss, look at my stall’s meat. The price we offer is cheaper than this one! If it doesn’t work, we can still talk.”

The couple came back to their senses and hurriedly said to the shopkeeper, “Boss, we can also make it cheaper.”

The fat buyer waved his hand and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Yunke Lai Restaurant doesn’t lack this bit of money. It’s mainly because I was willing. If I;m not, I won’t want it even if you give it to me for free. Brother Chen, I feel very close to you when I see you. What is this? This is fate! Don’t worry, we’ll charge according to the market price!

“Provide us with three sheep everyday. After processing and disassembling the pork lean meat, there were about 80 pounds of it and about 100 pounds of white meat. I won’t mind if there are a lot of pig trotters. A dozen pig intestines were enough. There was no need for anything else. If you have pig bones, pig hearts, pig kidneys, pig stomachs, and so on, bring them over. I won’t find it to be too much.”

Old Xiao, the owner of the meat stall, was dumbfounded. How could his meat stall be considered having a big customer? It only had a business of ten pounds a day. This was what it meant to be a big customer, a big financier!

If the whole sheep was sold at the market price, he could basically earn three to four hundred yuan. Three sheep meant 900 yuan. As for the lean meat and white meat he wanted, he could earn more than 300 yuan. In other words, Chen Guoqiang’s meat stall could earn 1,200 yuan a day just from the presence of a big customer like Yunke Lai Restaurant.

“Ah, this, this, this…” Chen Guoqiang was so excited that he was at a loss. Yang Yumei quickly poked him. Chen Guoqiang came back to his senses and thanked the fatty with a flushed face. “Boss, thank you so much. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

The fat purchaser pretended to be displeased. “Why are you calling me Boss? Are you treating me as an outsider?”

“No, no, no, this, this…” Chen Guoqiang looked at the fat purchaser who was about his age. He would not really call him his younger brother. He might as well call him brother. “Brother, I’ll be the host tonight. You must come.” Chen Guoqiang said with a flushed face.

The fat purchaser waved his hand. “Sure, sure. But I’ve been busy recently and don’t have time. I’ll come back sometimes.” He had come under the orders of the big boss behind the restaurant to take care of the Chen family’s business as much as possible.

He wanted Chen Guoqiang to receive the favor from Yunke Lai Restaurant. He did not dare to let Chen Guoqiang treat him to a meal. If he wanted to treat someone, it should be him. However, this did not make sense either. So he might as well not invite them and delay it.

“Alright, alright. By the way, Brother, I still don’t know your name.” Chen Guoqiang wanted to call out his name, but he suddenly remembered that he didn’t know the name of the person in front of him. He felt a little awkward.

“My name is Fu Xing. And you?”

“Chen Guoqiang, Yang Yumei.”

“Brother Chen, this is my business card. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

“Also, I see that there’s only so much meat left on your table. Why don’t you pack it all up and weigh it? Then send it our Yunke Lai’s kitchen.”

“Oh, okay.” When the couple heard this, Yang Yumei quickly started working.

Chen Guoqiang dialed the number on his business card as a way to exchange contact information. Then, he got busy as well. Fu Xing looked at the two kitchen assistants beside him and said unhappily, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help deal with the meat.”

“Okay, Manager Fu.” The two kitchen helpers quickly nodded and went over to take the knife from Chen Guoqiang’s hand to start working.

For a moment, Chen Guoqiang and Yang Yumei were free. Ten minutes later, most of the pork and mutton on the table were sorted and packed. After settling the money on the spot, Fu Xing asked the handyman to drive the car in, pack it up, and leave.

Before he left, he even said that he would deliver the meat to the back door of the restaurant the next day. When the time came, he would just give him a call.

Throughout the entire process, Fu Xing, the purchasing manager of Yunke Lai Restaurant, didn’t even look at the meat stall opposite him. The owner of the meat stall was so angry that he directly slashed the chopping board.

F*ck, what’s so great about a procurement officer from a big restaurant? Could he look down on people?!

…

After they left, the boss of the meat stall, Old Xiao, looked at them enviously. “D*mn, Old Chen, your family is rich! With such a big customer, you don’t have to worry about losing money selling leftovers in the future.”

Chen Guoqiang was overjoyed and his face was flushed. “No, no, it’s all because of Brother Fu’s favor. Hahaha~!”

Old Xiao was very envious. He was also happy for Old Chen, even though he was very jealous. This matter soon spread throughout the market. Many bosses knew that Chen Guoqiang was lucky to have connections with such a big channel.

Although the fresh meat on the table had basically been sold out, there were still a lot of sausages, bacon, and meatballs on the stall.

The couple did not close the stall and continued to sell. They sold as much as they could. After closing the stall at noon, many familiar bosses gathered around and chatted enviously. Their words were filled with jealousy.

Although Chen Guoqiang forcefully suppressed his joy, the joy on his face could still be seen. Some of them could not be sold out. The boss of the meat stall, who had no choice but to sell the meat to the night market, felt even more jealous.

The couple was overjoyed as they packed up and went home.

…

Chen Chu was not idle at home either. He was farming proficiency points crazily.

Originally, running was the fastest way to increase proficiency. If he ran for a long time to maintain his stamina, he could increase his proficiency by 50 proficiency points in a minute. A speed of more than four meters per second was just right for Chen Chu. He could persevere and not be too tired.

When he was tired, he would drink a mouthful of Marrow Cleansing Spring and absorb special energy factors to quickly replenish his strength.

But now that the sun was out, it was very scorching.

Chen Chu woke up at 5:30 in the morning to run, but he was forced to come back at 7:00. Although the seven o’clock sun was not very scorching, one’s scalp would burn to death after being exposed to the sun for too long.

After a morning run, he gained 4,750 proficiency points. Nearly 4,000 proficiency points were directly added to his Mathematics and Physics skills. He directly upgraded Mathematics and Physics to Level 4.

[Mathematics Level 4 (1/3,000)]

[Physics Level 4 (1/3,000)]

Chen Chu suddenly felt that he had mastered all the knowledge related to mathematics and physics in the second and third years of high school. It even involved a lot of knowledge that could only be mastered in university.

Level 4 of the subject knowledge category includes the entire high school and some university knowledge. After his proficiency level increased, he would master higher-level knowledge.

When Chen Chu went to do the test paper given by the math and physics teacher, he only had one feeling. It was too simple. How could it be so simple? Why did I find it so difficult in the past to answer such a stupid question? Did I have a pig’s brain?
