At the beginning of December, it began to snow again. It has been snowing for several days, but there is still no sign of stopping. The weather is also extremely cold. I don’t know who released rumors. I can't stop.

Although the government sent people to refute the rumors, everyone was still panicked by the news and rushed to buy grain reserves. Merchants also took advantage of this opportunity and raised the price of grain again and again.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole town was extremely tense and heavy, and every household closed their doors tightly to live.

Although Gu Ci doesn't remember very clearly what happened at this time in his previous life, it also shows that this winter this year is not special.Knowing that what was said outside were rumors, but she had to be more careful, and divided the food at home into two parts, one was kept at Gu Chunxiao's house, and the other was hidden at home, and she did not dare to let Xiao The girl was alone at home, and every day before going to the restaurant, she had to send the little girl to Gu Chunxiao's house.

The wind and snow had been on and off for more than ten days, and it finally cleared up. In addition, it was the end of the year, and the dull expressions on the faces of everyone in the town gradually faded away, and their former vitality was restored.

The twelfth lunar month is the busiest time in the town, and every household will come to the town for a big purchase during this month.It had been depressed for half a month because of the snow, so the second half of the month was naturally very lively.

Gu Ci originally wanted to take some time to bring the two young children to do some New Year's goods, and take a trip to Lijia Village by the way, but the business of the restaurant is so good that everyone is so busy that they are not on the ground, especially recently. There was an accident at the house of the butcher who provided the meat. The restaurant had no meat for a few days, and the diners complained a lot. Gu Chunxiao apologized at every dinner table every day for being a villain. She really had no face to tell others about the rotation.

Gu Chunxiao is also really busy recently, so she can't take care of these things anymore.He used to be the second shopkeeper of the restaurant, but this year he became the job of the big shopkeeper. In the past, when he followed others to do things, he always felt that there were not so many troublesome things. There are a lot of small troubles, which are annoying.

Take the matter of pork as an example. His restaurant uses a lot in a day, and he usually fixes it with a butcher and fixes the price of the meat. He just needs to send someone to get it. At the end of this year, I want to buy from other mobile vendors. They are not willing to sell at lower prices at all. They would rather have a long-term sale there to earn a few more money. More importantly, mobile vendors pay more attention to building good relationships with those individual customers. Even if he can afford it, he is unwilling to let him buy more.But the closer the year is, the customers who come to the restaurant are all big customers who order good wine and meat.

After offending several big customers one after another, Gu Chunxiao couldn't hold back his anger. He sighed and talked about it at home, and even came up with the idea of ​​going to Gujia Village to find a butcher to help him kill pigs.

Speaking of which, it's not just him who is worried about this matter, but several restaurants are also worried about it.Because the butcher who was responsible for delivering the meat to the Fortune Restaurant was also responsible for the meat of the other three restaurants in the town.

This butcher is a bachelor, but he is good at slaughtering pigs, and he is honest in his business. The pigs he selects are all good pigs. After several cooperations, these restaurants are willing to cooperate with him. One pig killed can be rounded up by four restaurants.

Aunt Bangen didn't understand her son's business affairs, but she just looked at Gu Chunxiao's mouth full of blisters recently, and felt sorry for him. When she heard that he wanted to find a butcher, her eyes lit up, "If you find a butcher, you can solve the problem." There is one in your restaurant."

"Who..." Gu Chunxiao immediately came to his senses, "Eldest sister?"

Aunt Bangen nodded, "The last time there were wild boars in the village, you didn't see her heroic demeanor in killing those animals. Even Gu Dashan praised her for killing pigs better than him."

Gu Chunxiao was skeptical, "She's a girl, can she still kill pigs?"

Aunt Bangen was a little dissatisfied with her son's distrustful gaze, "Anyway, in our village, I can't find a better butcher for you."

Gu Chunxiao still didn't believe it. He had been in the town for so many years, and he hadn't seen a female butcher yet.

However, now that this is the case anyway, it is better to let Gu Ci try.

The next day, as soon as Gu Ci arrived at the restaurant, Gu Chunxiao refused to let the little steward arrange work for her, but took her to the backyard, thought about his words a little, and then cut straight to the point: "Listen to my mother, you know how to kill pigs , but really?"

Gu Ci also knew about the lack of meat in restaurants recently, so he nodded, "Few pigs are killed, but more horses are killed, so I understand."

"Kill the horse?"

"When I first went to the Northwest, I was assigned to the Huobing Camp. What I did was to prepare meals for everyone. The old, weak, sick and disabled horses of the army would end up in everyone's stomachs."

Gu Ci spoke lightly, and Gu Chunxiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he realized that he had heard about Gu's second son who sold a girl to serve in the military for his son, but now that Gu Ci said it so easily, he felt inexplicably Feeling a little flustered, he moved his lips, but didn't know what to say, he let out a breath and continued: "Even so, I should be an experienced butcher, so I can rest assured to leave this matter to you."

Without waiting for Gu Ci to speak, he thought of something again, and quickly added: "Don't worry, you won't let you kill this pig for nothing. I will provide this pig, and I will give you the pig's water. In addition, I will give you a bonus of 250 Wen. Of course, you don't need pork either." Go sell it. Do you think this is feasible?"

Gu Ci raised her eyebrows calmly, she didn't know that the butcher actually made such money, 250 Wen a day, and one or two in four days, which was much better than her working hard in restaurants.

Of course, these words must not be said in front of Gu Chunxiao. After a little thought, she nodded, "Brother Chunxiao thinks highly of me. By the way, my work in the restaurant..."

"Just work in the restaurant for half a day in the morning, and you can kill the pig in the afternoon. You don't need to come to the restaurant to help, and the wages will still be paid according to the original wages." Gu Chunxiao treats other employees and Gu Ci equally on weekdays, but he treats him in private. Gu Ci should take care of him a little more, not so harshly.

Now that my family is living a tight life, Gu Ci is not polite, "That's fine. However, I'm not a serious butcher, and I don't have any of these tools for killing pigs."

"You don't have to worry about that." Gu Chunxiao paused, looked at Gu Ci with a candid face, and said, "To be honest, you, the guy who helps butcher pigs, can't do it for a few days. Wait for the old man Xu When you are in good health, you don’t need your help with this matter. I also know that you don’t have these things. I have already agreed with Old Man Xu that he found the pig and provided the tools for killing the pig. In the past, his yard would be fine. He could earn about 250 Wen for killing a pig, but I only give you [-] Wen, which is to give half to him.”

With that said, Gu Chunxiao looked at Gu Ci, "Now that I've made it clear to you, I hope you don't think I've treated you badly."

Gu Ci smiled, "Brother Chunxiao, what did you say? You are letting me pick up money. I am so grateful."

Gu Chunxiao was relieved to see that her expression was sincere, not superficially flattering, "I'm overthinking it, so let's just talk about it like this."
