The noisy world comes to an end, leaving only the night.
Looking up at the starry sky, Wang Fan's voice softly emerged.
"Second Uncle."
"Hmm?"
"Did you sell the house back home?"
"No, I didn't."
"I don't believe you."
"Would I really lie to you?"
"I vaguely remember when I was five, I got sick, and it lasted quite a while. The treatment must not have been cheap."
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Wang Fan smirked and started pretending to sleep, a child's trick.
He could tell that ever since they set foot on Harbin's road, his second uncle had been particularly emotional.
After all, this is his hometown.
Although it's mine too, I've never lived here, so there's really no sense of belonging.
Perhaps the previous idea of taking the second uncle on a trip was wrong. He might prefer to live on this black land that bore and raised him.
He just searched the house back home, it was much cheaper than here in Harbin, only about two or three thousand per square meter, a down payment of 50,000 yuan would suffice.
Today, he sold 300 jin of pork hocks, grossing over 20,000 yuan. Considering the Treasure Chest and Lucky Four-leaf Clover bonuses, he made nearly 25,000 yuan in one day. Minus the costs... well, there's hardly any cost, mainly just raw materials, at most adding some water. Not having to pay stall fees saved a lot of money.
With his current money-making ability, he could soon buy a set for his second uncle.
By then, he could even leave the pot of braised meat broth. Second Uncle is familiar with these things and can easily support a stall.
He could tell that it was awkward for Second Uncle to spend his money.
Perhaps leaving Second Uncle here was the best option?
He himself definitely needs to hit the road. For one, it can make money; secondly, he has now developed a keen interest in making various foods, and would never pass up on the recipes and cooking skills provided by the system. Thirdly, Huaxia is so big, I'd like to explore it.
Wang Fan opened his phone and started browsing the System Mall. The moment he opened it, he was surprised to find a special recommendation option.
After clicking it, a menu popped up, showcasing some pictures and introductions.
"Yanbian Cattle: A dual-purpose breed for both draught and meat, one of the five major cattle breeds in Huaxia, and one of the precious cold-resistant breeds. It has advantages of rough feed tolerance, cold endurance, strong disease resistance, tender meat, fresh taste, and marble texture."
"Beef Shank Bone, slaughter time: 1 hour ago. Price: 8 yuan/jin (over 100 jin at 6 yuan/jin). Recommendation index: 98 points."
"Beef Tendon, slaughter time: 1 hour ago. Price: 16 yuan/jin (over 100 jin at 14 yuan/jin). Recommendation index: 97 points."
"Pork Hind Knuckle, slaughter time: 2 hours ago. Price: 8 yuan/jin (over 100 jin at 6 yuan/jin). Recommendation index: 96 points."
"Pork Fore Knuckle, slaughter time: 2 hours ago. Price: 10 yuan/jin (over 100 jin at 8 yuan/jin). Recommendation index: 95 points."
Wang Fan rubbed his chin; beef shank bone and beef tendon, to be honest, he's only seen these items in braised meat recipes, never actually tasted them himself, should he buy some to try?
The pork knuckle already has a fan base, ordering 200 jin to fulfill the task, and try buying 100 jin of beef shank bone and 100 jin of beef tendon, although the goal is to make money, the aim can't be just to make money, trying new things is much more interesting.
...
Old Ning, just about to lie down and watch TV, suddenly remembered something, he took a look at his phone and gasped.
"I thought I forgot something, how could I forget the customer's order."
He hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and went out.
His slaughterhouse isn't small, workers work in shifts, and the factory area is still brightly lit.
"Xiao Liu, go pick out 200 jin of good pork fore knuckle, 100 jin of beef shank bone, and 100 jin of beef tendon, clean them up and deliver them to the customer quickly."
Xiao Liu agreed and immediately went to pick the goods.
Old Ning recalled for a moment, confirmed that today's orders were all cleared, and then happily headed upstairs.
"Ah, getting old, can't remember things, should I call that young rascal back to inherit the family business?"
Xiao Liu's hands and feet were very nimble, he soon packed and loaded the car. He had been to that address twice before, so he jumped on the car and darted off.
Delivering at night is just routine business for them, all those restaurants and meat stalls have their own pick-up times for goods, those nearby they deliver, those farther, they come to the factory to buy.
Old Ning's slaughterhouse, known for quality and affordable prices, is a famous brand in these neighboring ten miles or so.
"Boss, come down and inspect the goods."
Xiao Liu stopped the van in front of the RV and called out aloud.
Second Uncle heard the voice and flipped down from the bed, stopping Wang Fan quietly: "Don't make a sound, let me check first."
Second Uncle crouched, nerves tight, like a leopard ready to pounce on its prey.
He moved to the RV window, lifted the curtain a bit to observe outside carefully.
Xiao Liu had already gotten out, stomping his feet while puffing into his hands, the van's lights illuminated his appearance clearly.
Wang Fan, touched, explained with a smile: "It's okay, Second Uncle, my meat order has arrived."
Second Uncle nodded but still said, "Stay in the car, I'll go have a look."
Without a further word, he pressed Wang Fan back, getting out of the car himself.
Xiao Liu greeted him with a smile: "Sir, inspect the goods, 200 jin of fore knuckle, 100 jin of beef shank bone, and 100 jin of beef tendon."
Second Uncle nodded, glanced at Xiao Liu's chest, where the "Old Ning Slaughterhouse" insignia on the uniform was prominent.
He recognized the person who had delivered goods earlier in the afternoon.
A simple check of the items, each weighed on the scale confirmed everything was correct, he signed the receipt which Xiao Liu quickly took and drove off directly; Harbin's wicked weather especially at night, standing outside is sheer punishment!
Second Uncle swept his gaze around, confirmed no one was around just when he was about to move the items, he saw Wang Fan lifting a bag with each hand.
"Didn't I tell you to wait in the car? There are many bad guys out here."
Second Uncle grumbled quietly with a bit of reprimand.
Wang Fan chuckled and said, "What am I afraid of with you, a former top-notch scout around? Besides, security is much better now than before."
"No matter how good the security is, you still need to be careful. Ninety-nine times it's safe, but just that one accident can take your little life."
With Second Uncle lecturing while getting ready to move the items, Wang Fan hurriedly stopped him: "Second Uncle hurry up and rest in the car, you just had surgery, let me handle this physical work."
After pushing Second Uncle into the car, Wang Fan dragged the large bags onboard too.
"Second Uncle, you go to sleep first, I will sort out the meat."
