Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a butcher in Biled is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s barely up, and I’m already thinkin’ about the fresh cuts I gotta prep. I live on Strada 1 Decembrie, and lemme tell ya, that street is always buzzing.
I roll outta bed, grab a quick coffee, and head to the shop. The smell of fresh meat hits me as soon as I open the door. It’s like a warm hug, ya know? But then, bam! My buddy Ion shows up, and he’s all like, “Dude, did you hear about the new market on Strada Libertății?” I’m like, “What?!” Apparently, they’re sellin’ organic everything. Like, who even cares about organic when you can have a juicy steak, right?
Anyway, I’m slicing up some pork when this lady walks in. She’s got a cart full of veggies, and she’s eyeing my meat like it’s the last slice of pizza at a party. She asks me for the best cut. I’m like, “Lady, everything here is the best!” But she’s not havin’ it. She wants the “special” cut. I’m thinkin’, what’s so special about it? It’s just meat! But I slice her up a nice piece, and she’s all smiles.
Then, outta nowhere, this dude barges in. He’s got a wild look in his eyes. “I need a whole lamb!” he shouts. I’m like, “Bro, you sure? That’s a lotta lamb!” But he insists. Turns out, he’s throwin’ a party on Strada Măgurii. I mean, who throws a party for a whole lamb? But hey, I’m not one to judge. I wrap it up, and he’s out the door faster than I can say “bucată de carne.”
So, I’m back to work, and my phone buzzes. It’s my cousin from Timișoara. He’s like, “Yo, you still in Biled?” I’m like, “Duh, where else would I be?” He tells me about this festival happening at the park near Strada Călărașilor. I’m thinkin’, great, just what I need after a long day.
But then, the power goes out! Just like that. I’m standin’ there in the dark, surrounded by meat. It’s like a horror movie. I’m tryin’ to keep my cool, but inside, I’m freakin’ out. I can’t have my meat go bad! So, I grab my phone, turn on the flashlight, and start checkin’ everything.
Finally, the lights flicker back on, and I’m relieved. But then, I hear this commotion outside. I peek out the window, and there’s a parade goin’ down Strada Principală! I swear, it’s like the whole town showed up. People are dancin’, music’s blaring, and I’m stuck in my shop. I’m like, “C’mon, can’t a butcher catch a break?”
But then, I get an idea. I grab some sausages and head outside. I’m sellin’ them right there on the street! People are lovin’ it. I’m makin’ jokes, flirtin’ with the ladies, and it’s a blast. I even get a couple of kids to help me out. They’re runnin’ around with my sausages like they’re gold.
By the end of the day, I’m exhausted but happy. I made some cash, met some cool folks, and even got a few compliments on my meat. Who knew a butcher could have so much fun in Biled?
As I close up shop, I’m thinkin’ about tomorrow. More meat, more craziness, and hopefully, no power outages. But hey, that’s just another day in the life of a butcher in Biled. Can’t wait to do it all over again!
