Chapter 439 Cheap Meat
Just as Li Shengli expected, Banggeng has been having a very comfortable time recently, which is a good period for a novice. In the beginning, Banggeng did win more than he lost, and Wei Baofeng did not set any trap for him. Banggeng is not a very rich man now.
Banggeng was feeling rather busy these days, and had no intention of making an anonymous phone call to report Li Shengli's factory.
Even Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi noticed that Banggeng had become much more confident recently. They didn't know the specific reason, but Banggeng was exactly what they were happy to see.
Before this, Banggeng always gave people a feeling of lack of confidence when he walked on the street. This was due to his previous experiences and the nickname of Jet Warrior that was circulating among the public.
Now that so much time has passed, no one mentions his nickname anymore, and even his previous imprisonment. Now that he has money in hand, both Banggeng, Qin Huairu, and Jia Zhangshi have begun to think about finding a wife for Banggeng.
Banggeng became addicted to gambling and no longer had the heart to continue setting up his stall. He seemed a little absent-minded when he did so.
Jia Zhang usually helps Banggeng purchase some food ingredients.
Every time he went to the market, almost everyone selling meat there knew her.
When Jia Zhang came to the vegetable market again that day, the owner of the store where she often went to buy things, a middle-aged strong man, rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang!"
The middle-aged strong man stopped Jia Zhang who was about to leave after shopping.
"Boss Zhao, what's the matter?"
Jia Zhangshi never expected that Mr. Zhao, the butcher, would come to her for something.
"Aunt Zhang, this is what's going on. You often come to me to buy meat, and I've never asked you what you do. I'm not asking about that. I just want to ask if you need this meat every day, right?"
Boss Zhao has a cousin who is responsible for purchasing. This time, no one knows where he bought a batch of mutton from. This batch of meat had a small problem and failed the quarantine of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The reason was very simple: this batch of mutton came from sick sheep, but it could not be seen from the appearance.
Such a large batch of meat cannot be sold openly, because the boss doesn't believe that anyone can eat all the meat at once.
"Yes, my grandson sells barbecue outside and needs a certain amount of mutton every day." Jia Zhang did not hide it from Boss Zhao. He could find out the truth by asking around. If he didn't set up a stall outside or open a store, who could consume so much mutton every day.
"That's good, that's good." Boss Zhao was immediately delighted when he heard that Jia Zhang would process the meat she bought and then sell it outside.
"What's good?" Jia Zhang didn't hear clearly what Boss Zhao said.
"Nothing." Boss Zhao waved his hands repeatedly. "It's like this, Aunt Zhang. I know someone who sells mutton. His price is 30% lower than the market price. If you need it, I can introduce him to you."
"Thirty percent lower than the market price?" Jia Zhang muttered, and then calculated again with her poor brain, "Oh, then this price is not expensive, it's almost catching up with your purchase price." "That's true, it's just a little more expensive than our purchase price." Boss Zhao looked regretful.
Jia Zhang was immediately tempted. If there was such cheap meat, why should she buy it at the market price?
After being moved, Jia Zhang suddenly realized that the meat was sold so cheaply that there must be something wrong with it.
"There must be something wrong with the meat sold by the man you mentioned. He's selling it at such a low price that he's almost losing money." Jia Zhang stared at Boss Zhao suspiciously.
Of course Boss Zhao couldn't say this openly. Could he tell Mrs. Jia Zhang that these sheep were sick?
"They have come to me about this matter. The meat they sell does not have a quarantine certificate, so stalls like ours cannot sell it, so they can only sell it privately. I just mentioned it casually to see if you want it."
Of course, Boss Zhao couldn't appear to be in a hurry, so he pretended to be indifferent and talked to Jia Zhang.
"What? No quarantine mark? That won't do. What if there's something wrong with the meat?" Although Jia Zhang was tempted, she didn't agree right away.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I just have this piece of news. I see that you need a lot of meat, so I told you. As for whether you want to buy it, it's your decision." Boss Zhao didn't want to be implicated in this matter. He planned to act as an introducer in this matter.
Jia Zhang's heart was moved and she was ready to turn around and go back to the courtyard.
"Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone getting sick from eating that meat." Seeing that Jia Zhang was about to leave, Boss Zhao glanced at Jia Zhang's back and then muttered something in a low voice that Jia Zhang could just hear.
This trick works almost every time, especially for older people. They all like to take advantage and feel that they are in great shape, so they are not afraid that the meat will harm their bodies.
Jia Zhang paused for a moment, and finally paused for a moment. Boss Zhao knew that this person was moved.
After leaving the vegetable market, Jia Zhang thought for a while outside. She thought this was a promising idea. These people's constitutions should not be so fragile. How could they harm their bodies by eating a little bit of diseased mutton?
And this is also easy to deny. Who knows the specific reason why they got sick.
So on the next day, Jia Zhang found Boss Zhao and prepared to buy some cheap mutton.
Of course, Boss Zhao would not get involved personally. He introduced Jia Zhang to his cousin, and he also specifically asked his cousin not to publicize his relationship with him to avoid being caught.
Jia Zhang and Boss Zhao's cousin got along very well. Jia Zhang bought a batch of mutton at a price 30% lower than the market price. At the beginning, there was indeed no problem with the mutton, not to mention the stalks. He didn't like this business in the first place, and he had been to Wei Baofeng's gambling stall frequently recently, so he didn't notice that there was any problem at all.
Banggeng sold all the meat. Jia Zhang was a little worried at first, but as Banggeng's barbecue sales became more and more popular, she didn't see anyone causing trouble for Banggeng, so Jia Zhang slowly put her mind at ease.
As this batch of mutton that had not undergone quality inspection flowed into the market, many people who were looking for a bargain also bought this mutton. As a result, some people with poor physical constitutions still developed health problems. It was obvious that they had eaten something unclean by vomiting and having diarrhea.
