Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 601 Losing Patience
"Forget it, forget it, I won't buy it!" When the aunt saw that Lin Ke couldn't weigh the meat for a long time, she immediately lost her patience and turned away.

"Hey, don't go!" Seeing this, Lin Ke hurriedly tried to call out to the aunt, but the aunt ignored him and walked away without looking back.

"What should we do? If we can't sell the meat, how can we complete the task?" Li Na said anxiously.

"Don't panic, I'll do it!" Lin Ke took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Lu Wenbin, help me pack the meat into bags, and I'll be responsible for weighing and collecting the money."

"Okay!" Although Lu Wenbin was unsure, he still nodded and started to help pack the bags according to Lin Ke's instructions.

Lin Ke picked up the beam scale left by Liu Bo, studied it carefully, then took a deep breath and began to try to weigh the meat.

"Madam, how much meat do you want?" Lin Ke asked an older lady who was selecting pork.

"Give me three pounds of ribs." The eldest sister said, pointing at the ribs on the chopping board.

"Okay, three pounds of ribs!" Lin Ke responded, picked up the knife, skillfully cut off a piece of ribs, then put it on the scale and started weighing it.

"Three pounds and two ounces, I'll count it as three pounds for you, a total of thirty yuan." Lin Ke said as he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the payment code, and handed it to the elder sister.

"Wow, young man, you have good knife skills and are quite skilled." The elder sister said with a smile.

"Haha, I used to help my mom cook at home, so I learned this skill." Lin Ke said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad. Nowadays, there are not many young people as diligent as you." The elder sister said as she scanned the code to pay.

"Thank you for your patronage!" Lin Ke handed the ribs to the elder sister with a smile.

"Young man, your pork is good. How much is one pound?" At this time, an old man came over and asked, pointing at the pork belly on the chopping board.

"Uncle, you have a good eye. This is authentic local pork, fed with corn and vegetables. The meat is delicious, fat but not greasy, and only twenty-five yuan per pound." Lin Ke introduced enthusiastically.

"Oh? Really? Then I have to try it." The old man said, then picked up a piece of pork belly and looked at it carefully.

"Uncle, don't worry, the pork is absolutely fresh. It was just slaughtered this morning." Lin Ke said hurriedly when he saw this.

"Okay, give me two pounds." The old man nodded and said.

"Okay, two pounds of pork belly!" Lin Ke responded, picked up the knife and prepared to cut the meat.

"Wait!" The old man suddenly called Lin Ke.

"What's wrong, sir?" Lin Ke asked puzzledly.

"You kid, are you trying to fool me?" The old man pointed at the knife in Lin Ke's hand and said, "This knife is so blunt, how can it cut meat?"

"Uncle, you are joking. This is my butcher knife. I can use it to kill pigs. Why can't I cut this pork?" Lin Ke said with a smile. He exerted force with his hands and cut twice. A large piece of pork belly was cut off. It was fat and lean, and looked very beautiful.

"Good knife skills!" the old man praised, "Young man, I'll buy your pork, give me three pounds!"

"Okay!" Lin Ke responded readily, weighed three pounds of pork belly and handed it to the old man, "Uncle, thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents, take it."

The old man paid the money, picked up the meat and left with satisfaction.

Lin Ke and Lu Wenbin worked in perfect harmony, one was responsible for weighing and collecting money, and the other was responsible for packing, and they quickly sold several kilograms of pork.

"Lin Ke, you are great. I didn't expect you have this skill!" Lu Wenbin said with a smile while packing the bags.

"That's right, don't you see who I am?" Lin Ke raised his eyebrows proudly, "This is a skill I have practiced since I was a child."

"Just brag." Lu Wenbin smiled and shook his head, but secretly admired Lin Ke's wit and ability.

On the other side, Wang Xinxin, Li Na and Leng Tong were strolling in the market. "Wow, the fruits here are so fresh!" Li Na said excitedly as she looked at the dazzling array of fruit stalls.

"Yes, the colors are so beautiful." Leng Tong couldn't help but admire.

"Let's buy some food to eat back home?" Wang Xinxin suggested.

"Okay, okay!" Li Na and Leng Tong agreed in unison.

Three girls came to a fruit stall and started picking fruits.

"Boss, how much are these strawberries?" Li Na asked, pointing at the bright red strawberries.

"Fifteen yuan a pound." The boss said with a smile.

"So expensive?" Li Na said in surprise.

"Little girl, these strawberries are picked from the field that day. They are very fresh. You get what you pay for," explained the boss.

"Okay, give me a pound." Li Na hesitated for a moment, but decided to buy a pound to try.

"Okay!" The boss quickly weighed a pound of strawberries and handed it to Li Na.

Li Na paid the money, picked up a strawberry and put it in her mouth. Immediately, a sweet juice filled her mouth.

"Wow, it's so sweet!" Li Na said in surprise, "Xinxin, Lengtong, you guys try it too."

Wang Xinxin and Leng Tong also each picked up a strawberry and put it in their mouths, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, it's really sweet and much better than those sold in supermarkets," Wang Xinxin exclaimed.

"Yes, these strawberries are big, sweet and delicious!" Leng Tong nodded in agreement.

"Boss, how much are you selling these grapes for?" Wang Xinxin asked, pointing to the bunches of crystal clear grapes nearby.

"Twenty yuan a pound." said the boss.

"Twenty yuan per pound?" Wang Xinxin was a little surprised. The price of these grapes is not cheap.

She picked up a bunch of grapes and looked at them carefully. She saw that the grapes were plump, brightly colored, and exuded an enticing fruity aroma.

"Boss, your grapes are so beautiful. What variety are they?" Wang Xinxin couldn't help asking.

"This is our most famous local rose-scented grape. It has a thin skin and thick flesh, and is sweet and delicious. I guarantee you will never forget it once you have tasted it." The boss introduced enthusiastically.

"Rose-scented grapes, I've heard of them, they're really delicious." Li Na at the side also interrupted, "Xinxin, how about we buy some?"

Wang Xinxin was a little hesitant. Twenty yuan per pound was indeed not cheap, but when she saw how tempting the grapes were, she became tempted.

"Boss, can you make these grapes cheaper? We want to buy more." Wang Xinxin asked tentatively.

"Little girl, my grapes are already at their lowest price. The purchase price is very high." The boss said awkwardly, "How about this, if you really want to buy them, I will give you a discount of one yuan, 19 yuan per pound, how about that?"

Wang Xinxin wanted to fight for it again, but Leng Tong pulled her sleeve.

"Xinxin, nineteen yuan is nineteen yuan. I think these grapes are really good. Let's buy some and try them." Leng Tong said in a low voice.

Wang Xinxin thought about it and felt that what Leng Tong said made sense, so she nodded and agreed.
