Chapter 24: Like smoke
In front of the glass display cabinet, one or two aunts carrying baskets were patrolling with their heads down. In the glass display cabinet, various meat products were placed in standard iron plates, with their respective product names and prices. Under the iron plate, air conditioning steamed up to maintain the freshness of the meat. When the air conditioning steamed down, the fog in the display cabinet was thin, which felt a bit like a fairyland on earth.
An aunt pointed to one of the iron plates and said to the person behind the display cabinet: "This meat is cheaper, I bought it for 9 yuan."
Duane stood behind the showcase, wearing a white work suit, a red apron with a one-piece body in front of him, and a white work hat, which looked a bit like Mario, a plumber in the FC game. Facing the words of the aunt, he didn't even raise his eyelids and opened his mouth, "Sister, this is a tenderloin. This is the most expensive part of the pig. It's not expensive for 10 yuan. You can go to the vegetable market for more than this price."
After saying that, he looked up at the fresh booth one meter away in front of the display cabinet: A customer had just picked up a long time and took nothing but messing up the position of a few frozen chicken legs and duck legs.
Go out and order the booth later.
The aunt still refused to give in: "Oh, I said, why can't you do business, a young man? Is there any difference between 9 yuan and 10 yuan? After I was happy this time, I came to your house to buy it. Why don't you regard the business as a long-term one?"
Du An smiled bitterly, "Sister, I'm just a working person, and I don't have the right to reduce the price, otherwise I'll give it to you 9 yuan. Otherwise, you can buy this,"
People today are still not used to this supermarket-style shopping method - in fact, let alone these elderly aunts, even Duane has worked for a few days before they can adapt to this shopping method.
He pointed to an iron plate next to him, "The hind legs are good, 7 yuan per pound."
I don’t know if it was these two "sisters" that worked or if Duan had no right to reduce the price, the aunt didn’t continue to get involved. After muttering a few words, she pointed to the iron plate that was putting on the tenderloin, “Give me a... half a pound of tenderloin.”
Duan pulled off a bag, clamped a little tenderloin with a clip and put it in. He weighed the bag, felt that the weight was not right, so he clamped a little out and weighed it again.
Almost done.
Put the bag on the top of the electronic scale, press the button with the "Tenderness" label, and the numbers are displayed.
248 grams.
Just half a pound.
Du An made a note, tied the bag tightly, hit it with a squeezer, and then pasted the label to the aunt.
"Go slowly."
After seeing off the customer, another customer seemed to think it was expensive and shook his head and left. Duan had time to walk to the stool beside him to rest and looked outside bored: outside the showcase was a booth with frozen meat, covered with ice; then there was a booth with aquatic products, where business was better than here, and there were three customers shopping, and the two tellers were busy. As for further afield, the fresh food area was out, which was the shelves of the side food area.
This is Lotte Mart Supermarket in Chengdong Xuanwu District, Nanyang City. Duan is now working in the meat department of this supermarket, specializing in the processing and sales of meat products. Because of his undergraduate diploma, he also has the title of reserve cadre.
Before he knew it, he had been working here for almost a month, but Shang Hai's affairs were still free, as if they had happened yesterday: As he expected, in the face of Xiaoma Film and Television's bid, Fang Liyong could only follow the route he designed, first with a price of 5 million, probably to take the opportunity to slaughter a knife. Unexpectedly, Qi Sheng withdrew directly, and Fang Liyong, who was in a difficult situation, had to agree to the release and contact the theater chain to arrange the screening. After a series of actions, "Saw" finally got the opportunity to be released.
After finishing the movie, Du An put down a big stone in his heart and wanted to go to Shanghai as a drug agent, but unexpectedly, Baier recruited people and stopped recruiting them. Su Peng kept complaining on the phone that Du An was too moist and had not come for a long time. He was just a drug agent and could not suppress it at all, so he could only waste this opportunity.
So Duane had to return to Nanyang.
Fortunately, Duane was lucky. He caught up with Lotte Mart's recruitment in the talent market the next day and got the current position: a reserve cadre of the Meat Department, with a probation period of 500 per month, a 650 per month after becoming a regular, and a two-insurance payment.
Just as he was thinking about his own thoughts, a voice came from behind Du An.
"Brother Du, have some water."
It is a woman's voice, soft and glutinous, and very nice. It has the softness unique to Jiangnan women, making a classic and charming face appear in my mind.
Duane's head suddenly became bigger.
He turned his head helplessly, "Ruyan, I have told you many times that I am not allowed to drink water at the counter, so I have to drink water in the back."
A woman stood behind him at this moment.
He has a strong and majestic body, and his work clothes are a little stretched. He has a face with a Chinese character, thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick lips, and slightly dark skin. He is really a hero.
At this moment, the "hero" held the cup in both hands and lowered his head aggrievedly. With a "Oh", the sound was still so soft and warm.
This "hero" is his colleague, Xu Ruyan.
Seeing Xu Ruyan's appearance, Du An couldn't say too much, so he had to say, "Forget it this time, take the water back... I'm not thirsty now, if I'm thirsty, I'll drink it myself."
After commanding Xu Ruyan, Du An was stunned for a while.
He thought of Shu Yu.
On that night in Shanghai, he admitted that he was moved, but he also understood his situation. It is impossible to be friends with Shu Yu, but it is impossible to be a lover: it is not that Shu Yu's identity is impossible with him, but because the difference in the world view of the two is too big - Shu Yu is too ambitious and thinks about how to climb up all day long, but he has no ambitions, and his greatest ambition is to take root in the city.
The worldview is so different, it is obvious that it is impossible to be together, so Duan cut off his thoughts at the right time. In Duan's opinion, he was just a normal physiological reaction caused by the sudden increase in hormones. After breaking off the meeting with Shu Yu and hiding in the room and secretly stroking a few tubes, he successfully extinguished the restlessness in his heart.
Love or something is just a false name that the literati forcibly owed to his animal desires.
Duane sighed like a philosopher.
Thinking of Shu Yu, he thought of what happened today and found two movie tickets from his pocket.
"Saw" has started, and its premiere is today. These two tickets were sent to him today. By the way, Shu Yu told him some relevant details: October 17th, which is to be premiered nationwide at 23:00 tonight - it is said that Rising Film and Television, which is still a rookie in the film industry, opened a small theater chain in such a hurry and got 47 theaters. Other powerful theater chains can actually be used, but the strength of both sides is not equal. If they insist on it, they will be exploited too much by theater chains. It will be better to try it on a small scale first. The only thing that is thankful is that these 47 theaters are distributed in seven provinces on the eastern coastal line, with provincial capitals and first-tier cities covering only second- and third-tier cities, which are basically not covered.
"Brother Du, what is this?"
Xu Ruyan put down the cup and walked out. When she saw the movie ticket in Du An's hand, she couldn't help asking.
Du An held the movie ticket, looked up at Xu Ruyan, and suddenly said, "Ruyan, after work, I'll invite you to see the movie."
Seeing Xu Ruyan's face change, from being surprised to being surprised to crying, Du An's head grew bigger again, and had to turn his head to look outside, sigh and rub his eyebrows gently.
He originally wanted to give these two movie tickets to Aunt Chen and asked her and Song Zhen to watch. However, Aunt Chen didn't want to watch them after hearing that this was a horror movie. Moreover, the screening time was 11 o'clock in the evening, so she obviously didn't want her daughter to come out to watch the movie so late, so these two movie tickets were not sent out.
But you can't waste it. In Duane's opinion, waste is simply a crime. There is no way, so you have to be cheaper. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
