Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 51 Commissioned Store
  Skills: Teaching (Black Iron).

Effect: The learning efficiency of the person being taught the skill increases by 20%.

In an instant, Xiang Yunduan understood the effect of his latest skill.

If you want to develop skills, you must first reach a certain level. Skills cannot be formed just by knowing a little bit of knowledge.

To be honest, this skill of "preaching and teaching" came out of the blue, and Xiang Yunduan had never thought about it before.

After all, he has never had any training like being a "teacher" in such a long time.

Wang Shitou just gave Wang Shitou a little guidance, but he directly obtained a brand new skill. He guessed that this may be related to his experience before time travel.

He was an orphan in his previous life. When he was in college, he worked many part-time jobs, one of which was tutoring. Perhaps because of this, he had already accumulated a certain amount of experience in "preaching and teaching", so he was able to work casually at this moment. Point Wang Shitou to get this skill.

Of course it is a good thing to have one more skill, but this new skill does not affect him, but the person he teaches the skill to, which makes him a little speechless.

Moreover, this skill has a limitation, that is, it can only be effective when teaching others the "skills" he has mastered.

If it is knowledge other than skills that he himself has not mastered, the person being taught will not increase the learning efficiency.

For example, Xiang Yunduan can swim, but his level is very average, and he has not even developed specialized swimming skills. In this case, if he teaches others the knowledge of swimming, the recipient will not increase the learning efficiency.

"Stone, it's very good. You can reach this level in the first practical operation. I think it won't take long for you to reach the level of an official slaughterer!"

After understanding the situation of the new skill, Xiang Yunduan brought his attention back to reality. At this moment, Wang Shitou stood there blankly, as if he was stupid, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, and his skin was all wet. Turned white.

"Master, do you think I'm done now?"

After being praised by Xiang Yunduan, Wang Shitou came back to his senses and said with a somewhat excited expression.

"Whatever it takes, killing the pig is just the first step. You don't need me to remind you what to do next!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"Oh yes, yes... next... deboning, no, shaving, no, we need to bleed first, I'm really..."

Wang Shitou was talking to himself, but it could be seen that he was very excited.

As he spoke, Wang Shitou directly pulled out the butcher knife in his hand, but what he didn't expect was that this time, it didn't come out, and the knife seemed to be stuck inside.

Obviously, when he was killing the pig just now, he finally turned the knife inside the pig's body, and it might have gotten stuck in the bones.

After a lot of effort, Wang Shitou took out the pig-killing knife, but a new problem arose. Originally, the pig's blood should flow out along the knife edge, but now, the blood on the knife edge was dripping. My baby is not happy either, just like an old man peeing, coming and going.

"You probably twisted the blood vessels in the pig's neck with the trachea and esophagus just now, so you need to make another incision to bleed it out!"

Xiang Yunduan pointed from the side.

Soon, Wang Shitou cut a new bleeding hole and quickly drained the pig's blood.

"Next, you two will solve this pig. Just do as I say. It doesn't matter if you go slower. You need to get familiar with the pig's body structure first!"

After Wang Shitou and Zhang Dahe cleaned the pig hair, Xiang Yunduan said again.

Zhang Dahe is Xiao Zhang. When he heard Xiang Yunduan's words, his face suddenly showed an expression of excitement. Wang Shitou was able to kill pigs just now, but he was extremely envious.

"Work hard, and the next pig will be killed by you instead!"

Xiang Yunduan said something specifically to Zhang Dahe.

"Thank you, master, I will do a good job!" Zhang Dahe nodded excitedly.

Regarding the luck just now, Xiang Yunduan had some guesses in his mind. He estimated that the reason why Wang Shitou killed pigs and he was able to get luck was probably because Wang Shitou's pig-killing skills were taught to him.

Next, he was going to let Zhang Dahe test it again to see if he could get luck again. If so, the eight achievements would be almost as he guessed.

If this is the case, then he will have to consider recruiting more apprentices and teaching slaughtering skills to more temporary workers and apprentices. In that case, the amount of luck he can obtain will definitely increase greatly.

After all, no matter how fast he kills pigs by himself, it can't be compared to killing ten or a hundred people together.

Moreover, he only kills about seven pigs in a day if he works hard. If he recruits a few more apprentices, he won't have to work so hard. If he works too much, it will be very tiring, especially killing. The life of a pig is really not easy.

Although he knew that the speed of the two rookies would not be too fast, what Xiang Yunduan didn't expect was that under his guidance, it took these two guys almost three hours to untie a pig.

Moreover, the meat was stumbling and the meat was scattered in pieces, big and small, which looked terrible. The work was too rough.

Seeing that he was about to get off work in another hour, today's task of killing five pigs was not completed yet. As a last resort, Xiang Yunduan had no choice but to kill the last pig himself.

However, the knife that killed the pig was still stabbed by Zhang Dahe.

Sure enough, under his guidance, after Zhang Dahe killed the pig, he gained another piece of luck.

At this moment, Xiang Yunduan completely believed that the previous luck was not an exception, and he could no longer hold back his desire to recruit many disciples.

However, there is no problem in accepting disciples, but he must first teach Wang Shitou and Zhang Dahe as disciples.

I just don’t know what the learning abilities of these two guys are like? Don't be fooled by your own "preaching and teaching" skills, and it would be too bad if you still can't learn it after several months.

You still have to observe and observe first. If it doesn't work, then you have to find a way to improve the skill level of "Preaching and Teaching". The black iron level has the effect of increasing learning efficiency by 20%. Then if you upgrade to bronze Even at the silver level, the time it takes to teach a disciple will be greatly shortened.

……

After get off work, Xiang Yunduan did not rush home, but strolled towards Dongdan.

He is going to buy a bicycle.

He has to go home often, and he has to take a bus every time he goes back and forth. Not to mention the fare is expensive, the main reason is that the bus is really uncomfortable to ride in. There are many people on the bus every time, and they are crowded. The road was very bumpy, and people often vomited due to motion sickness. It was precisely because of this that Xiang Yunduan decided to buy a bicycle. He had actually wanted to buy it for a long time, but he had been short of money before. Now he didn't have to worry about this problem. After all, his brother's work problem was solved.

Not to mention the box of silver dollars and gold bars, I got nearly 140 yuan from selling honey before, which is still enough to buy a bicycle.

Of course, what he wants to buy is a second-hand bicycle, not a new car.

A new car requires a bicycle ticket, which he doesn't have at the moment, and new cars are not cheap, so it's more cost-effective to buy a second-hand one.

Fortunately, it is very convenient to buy second-hand goods now. There are places that specialize in the sale and purchase of second-hand goods, called entrustment shops, also called trust houses or entrustment houses.

Commission stores actually existed before liberation, but they really became large-scale only after liberation.

This is actually related to one thing, which is the ban on pawnshops.

Anyone who has been to a pawn shop knows that it is definitely the most shady place. People who buy low and sell high almost go crazy.

No matter what you go to the pawn shop to pawn, the appraiser at the pawn shop will insist that your thing is just a piece of junk and worthless.

Even if you buy a new leather jacket and have never worn it, as long as you turn around and enter the pawn shop, you will definitely get a comment like "a bare, hairless, insect-eaten, tattered leather jacket", and then you will be 100% sure. The value is reduced to 10% for you, that’s all, and you still have to say thank you.

It was precisely because pawnshops were so evil that they were even more disgusting than the loan sharks who returned home from time to time, so after liberation, all pawnshops were quickly cancelled.

But there is always a time when people are in a hurry for money, and there is indeed a need to sell off their property at critical moments. If the pawn shop disappears, then another institution should take on such social functions. Therefore, entrusted stores have ushered in a booming development.

Different from pawn shops, the prices of entrusted stores are much more transparent, and now all entrusted stores are jointly owned by public and private companies, so there is no deliberate price lowering or even fraud.

Generally, there are two models for selling things in a consignment store. One is to sell directly, and the other is to sell on consignment. When selling on consignment, the seller will negotiate a price with the store, and then let the store sell it on behalf of the store. After the sale, The store charges a certain handling fee, which is about four to seven percent of the goods.

Precisely because the fees charged by consignment stores are relatively low, many people are willing to take things they cannot use to consignment stores to sell them.

Therefore, in addition to being fairer than pawnshops, consignment shops also have a very diverse range of goods, ranging from high-end products such as cameras, watches, gramophones, old furniture, antiques, etc., to sweaters, leather jackets, old Low-end mass goods such as shoes and old bedding can be found in commissioned stores.

Moreover, the items sold in the entrusted store have complete procedures. After purchasing, you don't have to worry about any hidden dangers. This is much safer than private transactions.

In fact, today's entrusted stores can be considered a "special industry". If you sell things of unknown origin in an entrusted store, you will soon be targeted by the police.

During the recent period, Xiang Yunduan has also been learning about the commissioned stores in the city. There are quite a few of them, but many of them are small in size and mainly sell some daily necessities.

There are four truly large-scale stores, namely the commissioned stores located in Dongdan, Xisi, Beixinqiao and Caishikou.

Because Xiang Yunduan is closest to the commissioned store in Dongdan, this is the first place he visits. If he can't find what he wants here, he will go to several other places.

But generally speaking, things like second-hand bicycles that are not too high-end but not low-end are definitely available in Dongdan commissioned stores.

When they arrived at the place, Xiang Yunduan took a look and saw that the place was really not small. The facade facing the street in front was very large, about the size of four or five houses. Behind the facade, there was a yard that was specially converted into a warehouse. , all one big piece.

At this time, there were not many customers in the store, but there were many young people lying at the door, looking inside one by one. Of course they couldn't afford to buy anything, but here, they could see something new.

There were several salesmen in the store, but they were talking to several other customers at the moment. Xiang Yunduan looked at an old man wearing a melon-skin hat sitting behind the counter, holding a thread-bound ancient book in his hand and reading with gusto. Walked over.

"Uh!"

The old man didn't know if he had seen the important point, and he didn't notice Xiang Yunduan's arrival. He had to remind the old man with a loud snort.

The old man was awakened by this sound. The moment he raised his head, he subconsciously closed the book. However, Xiang Yunduan's sharp eyes still saw some content, such as "Ximen Grand Official", "Golden Lotus" and other words. There seemed to be another The illustrations depict a "grape trellis" and a "swing", which are quite artistic.

"Hey, man, are you trying to get something? Or do you want to sell something?"

The old man pressed the book behind the counter and asked Xiang Yunduan with a smile.

Looking at the old man's style, Xiang Yunduan probably knew that this old man was most likely a "little drummer" who was recruited after the public-private partnership and had no bad deeds.

The so-called "playing small drums" are actually those people who walked the streets in the past and came to buy used goods door-to-door. There are similar things in later generations, such as hair collection, old mobile phones and computers, etc.

Because these people will hold a small rattle in their hands when walking down the street. As long as they bang it, when people hear the sound of the drum at home, they will know that the second-hand goods collector is coming, which is why it got such a name.

Of course, these "little drummers" are not all serious business people. Some work part-time to collect goods during the day, and then come over to steal things at night. There are also people who kidnap children when adults are not paying attention.

After liberation, these snare drummers were carefully screened, and only those who had no bad deeds were assigned to continue working in commissioned shops.

These people actually have some skills. They actually know the approximate price of an old item. Some of them are powerful and can accurately assess the value of high-end items such as expensive cheongsams, mink and fox furs, etc. Very discerning.

The old man in front of me is most likely like this. He should be the appraiser of this commissioned store.

"I am a little interested in this book in your hands, but I don't know if you are willing to part with it!"

Xiang Yunduan also said cheerfully, but he was not in a hurry to talk about the bicycle.

Someone has said that reading this book is like looking at Mona Lisa's smile. Different people have different interpretations.

The one who has compassion in his heart is a Bodhisattva; the one who has fear in his heart is a gentleman; the one who has joy in his heart is a villain; the one who has the mind to practice Dharma is a beast.

Xiang Yunduan wanted to buy this book, not because he wanted to verify whether he was a Bodhisattva or a gentleman, but simply because he couldn't help but want to collect it after seeing such an ancient book that contained all kinds of emotions, joys, anger, sorrows and joys in the world.

Of course, if you are on a snowy night, you light a candle at the bedside with your loved one, tuck yourself into bed, savor the scenes in the book, and at the same time verify each other with the "house technique", It should also be a good pastime.

...........................

ps: The specific appearance time of bicycle tickets and watch tickets in the Four Nine Cities was after July 59. The plot in the article requires that it be slightly advanced.

In addition, bicycle tickets were canceled after 64 and were reissued in the s.

It is not easy to check the specific appearance and cancellation time of many tickets. If I really can't find it, I can only deal with it according to the general situation. I hope everyone can understand. If there is any flaw in this aspect of knowledge, you are welcome to leave a message and correct me. Thank you!
