Chapter 204: Selling Eggs

"Xiao Zhou, that's the case, I heard that you have a lot of chickens, but there are concubines in the house today, and I didn't prepare anything, so I thought of you coming here to buy some eggs and go back to make a dish. Aunt Zhao didn't go around in circles with her, and directly said the purpose.

She didn't lie, someone did come to visit the house tonight, her grandson is eighteen years old this year, and her granddaughter-in-law's family will come over to talk about marriage today, whether it is for her grandson or for face, she has to prepare well.

Originally, she wanted to try her luck at the supply and marketing cooperative, but when she went out to chat with a few old sisters, they said that she should go to Widow Sun's house first.

I heard that the little girl who rented a house in Sun's house raised a lot of chickens, and it is estimated that there can be eggs. It is always cheaper to buy eggs in the hands of an individual than in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are not always eggs in the supply and marketing cooperatives, so you have to try your luck.

She was right when she thought about it, of course it would be good to save a little, and it was close here, and it wouldn't take much to come over, if she didn't like each other here, it would not be too late for her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Sining raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was here to buy quail eggs, but he was here to buy eggs. Also, she kept quails in the house, and if she didn't go into that house, no one knew how many quails she had. But the chickens are different, in the winter she puts the chickens in the house, but in the spring when it is a little warmer, she scatters the chickens, it is estimated that they pass by the door and see the chickens in the yard before coming.

"Okay, the family just picked up a few eggs this morning, and I originally wanted to sell them to the purchase station, if my aunt wants you, then sell them to you. Zhou Sining decided to sell it after a little hesitation, it's not a big deal, whoever sells it is a sale, and you can get a good one by selling it to your neighbors.

"Yes, yes, yes. Aunt Zhao happily said three things in a row, if you really buy it in Xiao Zhou, an egg can give birth to at least a penny.

"Wait, sister-in-law, I'll go and bring the eggs, you pick your own, which one you want. After Zhou Sining finished speaking, he stood up and walked to his room.

"Hey, no, it's a lot of work to take it around, I'd better go into the house with you and pick it up." "Aunt Zhao is not dead yet, she is really curious about what is in this small Zhou house, why she doesn't let others see it, there must be some secrets.

"No, auntie, I still have a few roosters at home, do you want it, I'll call you over and pick it." Zhou Sining whistled before entering the house, and then saw a few chickens that were hiding somewhere and came over.

"Oh, you have so many chickens. "Aunt Zhao still cares about going into the house to see the strangeness, these chickens in the yard make her unable to take her eyes off.

"Well, yes, my brother and I came here, he is a temporary worker, I don't have a livelihood at home, it's too difficult to rely on his salary alone, I don't know anything, just raise a few chickens, not to mention anything else, lay a few eggs can exchange some oil and salt money, it's better than staying." If you are greedy, you can kill one to make up for my brother, but I can't afford to buy pork. Zhou Sining had already come out of the house as he spoke, still carrying a basket in his hand.

Aunt Zhao looked at the chickens in the field rarely, "What you say is true, others think that the city is good, and when they come to the city, they will know, everything costs money, if you don't have a serious job, you can't live." But you're good. She pointed to the chickens on the ground, "There are quite a few of them." She had just counted, but she hadn't counted.

"There are twenty in total, twelve hens, and a male. "At the beginning she raised fifteen chickens, and when the chickens grew up, she killed the roosters and ate meat, and then hatched a few chicks to make up for them, and so on and so forth, and it became so many now. Later, she also decided to limit the number of chickens to about twenty, and there could be no more.

"Oh, that's so much!" Aunt Zhao's eyes were not enough.

"Well, it's a lot, and I can't afford to raise any more. Zhou Sining stretched out his foot and kicked it, and then walked to Aunt Zhao with the basket, "Auntie, there are only a few eggs left at home, look at which one in the photo will take which." ”

Aunt Zhao also saw the eggs in her hand earlier, and her eyes lit up again, the reason is very simple, the eggs in the basket are bigger than the eggs bought by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Sining feeds the chickens with insects, and the chickens eat well, and the eggs they lay are naturally slightly bigger.

"How do you sell this?" Aunt Zhao stepped forward and grabbed one and shook it, wanting to see if it was fresh.

"It's all neighbors, and I don't earn my aunt's money, I sell the purchase station for five cents, and if my aunt wants it, it's also five cents. Zhou Sining looked at her casually, the more than 20 eggs in the basket were really laid by her chickens last night and this morning.

"Ah, so expensive?" Aunt Zhao habitually shouted, and she was a little embarrassed after speaking.

The eggs sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives are six cents a piece, and they are not as big as this, so Xiao Zhou's eggs are really not expensive for five cents a piece.

Zhou Sining didn't speak, just smiled.

"Hehe, your eggs are big, and they should be a little more expensive, so I'll buy ten. Aunt Zhao looked at Xiao Zhou like that and knew that she couldn't talk about the price, looked at the eggs in the basket, and felt that five cents was not a loss, so she didn't talk about it, so she squatted down and began to pick eggs.

"Auntie, you bring a bag, I don't have any housework. ”

"Bring, brought, I've brought my own pocket. "There are no plastic bags or anything to buy things now, they all bring their own handles, Aunt Zhao stood up and pulled out a cloth pocket from her trouser pocket.

Then she crouched down and carefully picked one by one, making sure to pick the largest ten of the more than twenty eggs.

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, how do you sell this chicken?" she picked eggs while building one, Xiao Zhou's chicken is really good, the chicken feathers are smooth and slippery, and there is no shortage of food to eat at a glance, and the size is not small, she estimates that each one must weigh six or seven pounds.

"I sell this chicken by one, two pieces for a rooster and five dollars for a hen. ”

Aunt Zhao gasped when she heard her offer, "What? Five yuan a piece?" The rooster is barely okay for two yuan a piece, and the hen actually costs five yuan a piece, does her chicken lay golden eggs?

"Haha, auntie, my family is a little hen just raised last year, this year is a good time to lay eggs, the chicken itself is worth two yuan, plus an egg a day, this month can earn a piece of five, raise two months before the hen will return to the capital, and then the next is a net income, so my chicken is really not expensive. Zhou Sining explained with a smile.

In fact, the hen she deliberately asked for a high price, the hen she didn't plan to sell, of course, someone sincerely wanted to buy her and didn't stop it, but she couldn't afford to ask for the hard work.

"That's right. Aunt Zhao was stunned by her, and thought along her lines, a hen for five yuan was really not expensive.

"But Aunt Zhao, your family is a concubine, even if you buy chickens, you don't need to buy hens, it's wasteful, just buy a rooster. ”

Aunt Zhao is clever, yes, she is here to buy eggs, at most she is just buying a rooster, what does the five-yuan hen have to do with her.
