040 Dignity (Part 1)

After coming out of the fruit stall, Pan An was not in a hurry to go home.

"Zhou Ke, what else should I buy besides beef, mutton and vegetables?"

Zhou Keer thought for a while, "If you eat hot pot, you need seasonings. I have seen the kitchen and have kitchen utensils, so just buy some vegetables and seasonings, just me alone."

Although it's okay to be alone, it won't take long, and the two of them walked into the vegetable market together.

It was time for children to get off school and adults to buy vegetables after get off work, and there were already some people in the vegetable market.

"Boss, how do you sell beef?" Zhou Ke'er came to the counter of the butcher shop, looked at the large piece of beef on the cabinet and asked about the price.

Standing behind the counter was a man in his forties, wearing a white gray work clothes and a white hat.

It’s not a chef or a doctor, the people here are not so white and so new.

The boss looked at Pan An behind Zhou Keer and said casually: "A pound of forty-five is all fresh beef, just killed."

Zhou Keer said in surprise: "Is it too expensive? Is it still over thirty when I bought it yesterday."

I just checked it with my mobile phone. Today, there are beef prices across the country. The wholesale price of beef in Rongcheng should be 37.1 yuan per catty!

Beef in different regions has incompatible prices, while in the same region, the price of today's vegetable prices is different from that of tomorrow, and there will be some fluctuations. It does not mean that today's vegetable prices are the same, but tomorrow's price is the same.

The boss said impatiently: "The price of this beef is not what I say. I bought this price. If you go elsewhere, it is also the price. Beef that is over 30 years old? How much do you bring it, I will charge it!"

Zhou Keer smiled, "I often buy vegetables and know this. Boss, what kind of beef is good for hot pot?"

The butcher shop owner took out a box of peeled beef slices from the freezer on the side, "You use beef rolls when eating hot pot. This box is cheaper for you. It costs 60 yuan. How can two people still have to eat one and a half pounds to fill, right?"

Pan An looked at the boss, wondering if the other party was in a bad mood today, his wife cuckolded him, or if he was such a person.

On a hot day, Pan An can understand that some people don’t like nonsense, but they don’t agree with this kind of behavior of doing business with anger.

Zhou Ke'er didn't notice any expression on Pan An behind her. At this time, she thought about it and continued, "It's still a bit too expensive. Can it be cheaper? I plan to buy some more lamb for three people. Boss, please consider it cheaper for me. I will come here often in the future."

"This price is already a loss. Since you have said that, even if you are forty yuan per pound, this is the lowest price. No matter how low it is, it won't work." The boss said, and picked up the meat-cutting knife and casually pulled half of the mutton hanging on the side. "There are two pounds of mutton, which is a bit cheaper for you."

Zhou Keer's estimated price is between 38 or 39 yuan. When she saw that she had just talked about forty yuan, she continued to say: "There are three kilograms of beef and mutton, and the beef roll is also included. Boss, don't count the bones in it!"

"You little girl are so smart. How can you buy meat without bones? It's more nutritious to take it back and make soup!"

"Then I'm at a disadvantage at this price. I eat hot pot, not chewing bones. I drink bone soup. How can I eat hot pot and drink soup?"

This is the first time that an 18-year-old girl has encountered such a thing. Although she is self-reliant and competitive, it is the first time she is pointed at by someone with a knife.

At this moment, a solid shadow suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Ke'er, and a man wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt protected her behind her.

Pan An didn't think much and stood between the butcher shop owner and Zhou Ke'er, while looking at the man with a cold look, "What are you going to do?"

"Management in labor killed you!!" The butcher shop owner was glanced at by Pan An and then roared angrily. When he started roaring, he also shook the bone-cutting knife in his hand.

Pan An didn't say anything, and the next moment the big watermelon in his hand was thrown directly on the butcher shop owner's head.

"You melon man!" Pan An used all his strength to smash the big watermelon directly into the butcher shop owner's head. While cursing the dialect where it was, he quickly protected the girl behind him and retreated.

"Zhou Ke, you go back first, just go to the mall to buy the ingredients for dinner. I will go back after the police come."

Pan An didn't want Zhou Ke'er to get in the way here, but Zhou Ke'er quickly shook her head. After having a brave person beside her, Zhou Ke'er quickly gained courage.

"It's okay, I'll accompany you."
