Chapter 3 Even the White Bone Demon Stockpiles Food

Most of the produce at Liuhe Vegetable Market comes from Dalushan.

If Dalushan is sealed off, while it won't necessarily mean we won't be able to buy pork, chicken, or duck, it will definitely be affected, leading to price increases.

Moreover, the rumors are so bizarre that no one knows when Dalu Mountain will reopen.

Gu Bai's pork stall was bought up by three middle-aged women, and the two surrounding meat stalls were also cleared out.

"Xiao Gu, go and get some more meat. There will definitely be more people coming to buy meat this afternoon."

Aunt Qin left with the meat, reminding him to seize the opportunity before she left.

"Yes, it's okay if it goes up a few dollars," Aunt Liu said.

Aunt Wang agreed, saying that they had already bought enough pork, so price increases or decreases wouldn't affect them.

Gu Bai glanced back and saw that the two pork vendors had already rushed out and gotten on their tricycles.

Hey!

Gu Bai casually wiped his hands and left in a hurry.

Liuhe Slaughterhouse.

It was even more lively than in the morning, with butchers from all over the place coming.

When Gu Bai arrived at Liu Wu's slaughterhouse, before he even entered, he saw two men in police uniforms talking to Liu Wu inside.

His heart skipped a beat. Why was the police here?

As a demon, the last thing I want to see is poor public order.

He was thinking of buying meat from another shop, but Liu Wu, who had sharp eyes, called out from afar, "Little Gu, come here quickly."

Gan!

Gu Bai braced himself and, under the questioning gazes of the two security guards, entered the factory.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhi'an, what's going on here?" Gu Bai asked with a forced smile.

"Routine check," the middle-aged security guard said gently.

The young security guard sized up Gu Bai, frowning every now and then, making Gu Bai's heart pound with fear. No, he had neither heart nor flesh.

Hmm, my bones are trembling!

"Alright, you can continue with your work. Report any problems to the police immediately."

The middle-aged security guard nodded to Liu Wu and called to the younger guard, "Little Six, let's go."

Xiao Liu glanced at Gu Bai, smiled slightly, and then left.

After they had walked away, Gu Bai asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Thanks to you!" Liu Wu said excitedly, shaking his hand. "Luckily, the pork was sent for testing, or I would have been finished."

"Explain in detail," Gu Bai hurriedly said.

"Something happened at the Dalushan slaughterhouse last night. We don't know what bit it, but dozens of pigs and hundreds of chickens and ducks were killed."

That heartless bastard actually sold that pig to me, damn his whole family!

Liu Wu burst into curses, then said, "Little Gu, how did you know there was something wrong with that pig?"

"How could I tell? I just felt something was off. What normal person wouldn't sell a pig weighing over 100 jin?" Gu Bai said.

It was bitten to death?

Are you really chasing after pigs to eat?

"That's true," Liu Wu said. "You've come here now because you want to buy more pork, right?"

"Yes, the neighborhood aunties reminded me that pork might be hard to buy lately," Gu Bai replied truthfully.

"It's not just hard to buy, the price has gone up."

Liu Wu said in a low voice, "Now, even pigs leaving the slaughterhouse are inspected. Those two security guards were here to inspect, and they were brought here by my sick pig."

"What's the price of pork now?"

"Hey, others sell for ten yuan a pound, but you sell for seven. You always give me the wholesale price. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been ruined if I had sold that pig."

The neighbor sold their diseased pigs; their business has been shut down, their slaughterhouse license has been revoked, and they can no longer operate in this industry.

"Thank you."

Gu Bai wasn't a generous person, so he immediately picked out three pigs.

If we can't sell them all, we'll keep some for ourselves. Even the White Bone Demon needs to stockpile food.

Unfortunately, there is no way to preserve yang energy; pork can only last for three days at most before the yang energy dissipates.

It's not enough to eat your fill all at once.

Because this White Bone Demon has never been full.

Outside the slaughterhouse gate, Xiao Liu, the security guard, watched Gu Bai ride away on a tricycle loaded with pork.

"What are you looking at?" The middle-aged security guard followed his gaze: "He's just a butcher, he's a bit fair-skinned, what's so interesting about him?"

"I just think his smile is so fake. I studied micro-expressions with my senior, and his smile is super stiff, like a dead person's face, a forced smile," Xiao Liu said.

"Hey, how many of you actually have a genuine smile on your face when you see us?" The middle-aged security guard lit a cigarette. "Let's go, we still need to check on those pork stalls. One of the sick pigs has escaped."

"They're so desperate for money, they'll do anything to make money," Xiao Liu cursed angrily.

……

vegetable market.

Gu Bai had just returned to the market and hadn't even reached his stall when he was already overwhelmed by the crowd in front of him.

Dozens of middle-aged women, carrying bags, waited for a long time.

Did the news travel that fast?

No wonder everyone says the strongest intelligence organization is the old lady downstairs.

The other two pork stalls haven't returned yet; their connections aren't strong enough to get the goods immediately.

"Prices have gone up. If you can't accept the price increase, don't come."

"The price has gone up so quickly?" one of the older women complained.

"How much per pound?" someone asked.

"Pig's trotters are eighteen, spare ribs are twenty-three, pork belly is twenty-two..."

Gu Bai read out the prices, and some of the older women lost interest and left, grumbling.

But many people still buy it despite complaining about the price.

"There are two more pork stalls behind here. They'll be back with their supplies this afternoon. If you're not in a hurry, just wait," Gu Bai said.

This one sentence deterred many people.

But there were quite a few people buying meat, with ribs being bought in quantities of over ten kilograms.

Gu Bai skillfully processed the pork, and by noon, he had sold two and a half heads.

The remaining half-head is a bit hard to sell.

"The pork is here! I see it! The butcher, Yu Yourong, is back."

Someone ran over from afar, reporting the news.

People who were initially hesitant immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying pork.

Just what he wanted, Gu Bai quickly packed up the pork and went home after get off work.

All that's left is my own food.

I made a profit today from the price increase.

"Stop fighting! Pork prices have gone up today: pig's trotters are thirty, ribs are thirty-eight, pork belly is thirty-five..."

What the hell!

Gu Bai looked back and thought, "Damn, this is way too dark!"

Is it really true that even doubling in price won't stop it?

slip away.

He didn't want to stay any longer, otherwise those middle-aged women would surround him and try to steal his food.

"So expensive? Are you robbing me?" an older woman said angrily.

After waiting for so long, I didn't expect to get something even more expensive.

"Exactly! Little Gu's pig's trotters only cost eighteen, and you're charging thirty?" one middle-aged woman accused. "Don't you have any conscience?"

"Hey, I don't even want to sell it yet. Why don't you go to the slaughterhouse and see how many people are scrambling for healthy pork? And at this price, we had to queue for over an hour to get it," Yu Yourong said impatiently.

"Exactly, take it or leave it. I'm exhausted from chopping meat every day," another butcher, Huang Ze, chimed in.

"Xiao Gu, hey, Xiao Gu?"

The older women looked back and found that Gu Bai was no longer there.

Those who managed to buy pork carried it away quickly, as if afraid of being robbed.

When Gu Bai returned home, he cut the pork into chunks, put them in a bowl, and sprinkled rice wine on them.

This is the longest he has ever tried to preserve his yang energy; it can last for three days.

The refrigerator won't work; it can't retain the yang energy of the pork.

咚咚

I had just finished preparing the pork and was getting ready to enjoy lunch when there was a knock on the door, and a familiar scent entered my nostrils.

Two security guards!

Could it be that they've discovered something and are here to arrest me?

The White Bone Demon was a little flustered.
