Chapter 52: Mission Accomplished
Halfway through the time, Tong Chen only earned one hundred and fifty yuan, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the whole person seemed extremely painful.
On the sixth day of the mission, Tong Chen got up very early, and after a simple breakfast, he did not take the car again, but rode a dilapidated three-wheeled bicycle at home and went straight to the county seat.
Take someone else's car, people's time is very fixed, what time to leave every day and return in the afternoon, which is really a bit inconvenient for Tong Chen, who sells things.
Fortunately, the road from Beigou Village to WuW County was repaired and smoothed with cement, otherwise it would definitely be a painful thing to ride a three-wheeled bicycle, and when I arrived at the market, there were already a lot of stalls in it, and they were all in a fixed position, Tong Chen found a place at random and stopped the tricycle.
At this moment, Tong Chen has almost become a qualified small trader, and he comes with his mouth open when he shouts loudly.
After a busy morning, he sold another seven catties of eggs, which is half of what he carried.
In the morning, Tong Chen rode a three-wheeled bicycle according to his own plan and began to walk the streets to sell, not to mention, at the end of this day, all the eggs were sold out, which was much better than squatting there and waiting for someone to sell.
On the seventh day, Tong Chen had a new idea in his heart, he took the gas stove and gas tank at home in the bicycle bucket, returned the money for buying eggs yesterday to Lao Zhang, and brought the last remaining 20 catties of eggs in his house.
Looking at Tong Chen, who took away all the tools for eating at home, Lin Wanru frowned, what happened to her son?
It was still selling at the market in the early morning, but Tong Chen came up with a way to sell new eggs, which was to fry eggs on the spot.
Speaking of why fried eggs? This is because Tong Chen met a roasted sweet potato seller when he was selling eggs yesterday, and he bought a roasted sweet potato when his stomach was empty, sweet and soft, and the steaming roasted sweet potato made Tong Chen's eyes shine at that time, and after some roasting, the value of the sweet potato was doubled.
The gas stove Tongchen didn't get out of the car, he started directly in the body, unscrewed the gas tank valve, lit the fire, took out a frying pan, and skillfully poured some rapeseed oil into it, as the temperature rose, a burst of fragrance wafted away.
The rapeseed oil used by Tong Chen is not a barreled oil bought in the supermarket, but fried with his own rapeseed, which tastes much more delicious than ordinary barreled oil.
The people nearby looked at Tong Chen's every move suspiciously, the oil in the pot was not much, after the oil temperature was hot, he picked up an egg in his right hand, and the edge of the pot slid into it slightly, sure enough, it was another egg with a double yolk, and then Tong Chen immediately picked up a plastic bottle and added a little water, in fact, the fried egg did not need to add water, but he felt that the egg would be more tender with a little water, and it was not easy to burn.
"Crackling..." The smell of rapeseed oil mixed with the egg fragrance of the eggs in the nose couldn't help but make Tong Chen's index finger move, and his throat unconsciously surged once.
If no one bought this egg, I would have eaten it myself, and I didn't eat much for breakfast.
Immediately afterwards, Tong Chen turned the heat to low and waited for the delicious food to come out.
"Passing by, don't miss it, the freshly baked delicious omelette is guaranteed to make you want to have another one after eating one", Tong Chen saw the increasing crowd of onlookers, and shouted loudly when he saw the opportunity.
Tong Chen did not add salt, because this kind of native egg can taste its original taste without salt, and if it is salty, it will affect its delicious enjoyment with a little sweetness.
"I bought this omelette",
"I want it"
The two shouts sounded almost at the same time, and many onlookers sighed secretly when they saw this.
"Don't worry, there's only one now, so I can only sell it to one person", as soon as Tong Chen's voice fell, one of the young men who shouted earlier pushed away the crowd and squeezed to the front.
"Boss, give you money, I'm sorry, I'll buy this omelette first, I'm hungry when I look at it, you can wait if you want to buy it";
The guy said and handed over ten dollars with one hand.
Tong Chen took out the disposable paper bowl prepared in advance, and at this time the egg liquid in the pan had solidified, and the two tempting egg yolks were dotted like the finishing touch, just looking at it was a pleasure.
Hearing a boss, Tong Chen couldn't help but smile in his heart, haha, I am also a boss with a successful career, but I am just a boss who sells eggs on the street, the lowest kind of boss level.
Many onlookers have their eyes on this attractively colored omelette, especially now that it is early in the morning, most people have not eaten breakfast, just smelling this umami, their throats keep surging, and their stomachs are unconsciously screaming, and if their stomachs are conscious at this moment, they will definitely quarrel loudly to protest that their owners are so stingy.
Tong Chen picked up a wooden spatula and carefully shoveled the omelette into the paper bowl, and then took out a plastic fork and put it in the bowl.
"Omelette two dollars and five one, looking for you seven and a half yuan", Tong Chen shouted as he took out change to find money.
"Two and a half pieces are too expensive, right?"
"That's it, I originally wanted to buy one for a dollar, let's buy one and try it, but now that I think about it, forget it",
"I don't think this young man has a big mouth, and he needs so much to open his mouth."
"I think he's crazy about money, two more than one is a loss, he can say it",
"With a little more money, I'm almost enough for a meal"
······
Some of the older uncles and aunts on the spotter chattered about the price as soon as they heard it.
Of course, Tong Chen also listened to it, but he didn't speak, and his hands immediately began to get busy again, if it was before, he would definitely be unable to help but debate with these people, Tong Chen even thought that if he was in Beidu now, he would at least start at three yuan for such an omelette.
Of course, Tong Chen has his own reasons for asking for such a high price, not to mention that his native eggs are almost a dollar, plus rapeseed oil, gas fees, disposable dishes and chopsticks, and most importantly, labor costs.
Tong Chen had calculated before that there were almost seven or eight local eggs like him a catty, and they were sold for five yuan a catty, and one was only a few cents, just as Lin Wanru said that the price of his eggs was too low, and it really did not meet the actual value of this native egg.
No businessman thinks that the price of his goods is too high, of course, Tong Chen also wants to set a high price, so that he can complete the task faster, the price is too high, Tong Chen also has his own worries, he is worried that it is too expensive and no one will buy it.
After a while, another delicious omelette was baked, and another man who was shouting also successfully bought the omelette.
"Give me another one, it's really not fun to eat one", the guy who bought it at the beginning shouted again.
"Okay", Tong Chen responded, and he didn't dare to stop the movements in his hands.
Next, Tong Chen kept frying eggs, loading bowls, collecting money, looking for money, of course, Tong Chen had to sell raw eggs, and the price did not change, which made him regret it a little in his heart, he knew this, and set the price high at the beginning.
