Chapter 46: Selling Eggs

After hearing Lin Wanru's complaints, Tong Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, eggs, isn't this a better way to make money after thinking about it for a long time.

Thinking of eggs, Tong Chen's first impression in his mind was to sell eggs to make money, and the reason why he wanted to use this old-fashioned method of making money was because he knew that the eggs laid by the villagers' own chickens were not comparable to ordinary eggs, which were commonly known as native eggs.

This kind of egg is brighter than ordinary egg yolk, bigger in size, more delicious in taste, and naturally richer in nutrition, which Tong Chen deeply understands, when he was in the northern city, ordinary eggs have also been eaten, and expensive ones have also been tasted, but compared with them, he feels that his eggs are still better.

Maybe Tong Chen is a little boastful, not that other expensive eggs are not as good as the native eggs in his village, it can only be said that each has its own merits, and maybe because Tong Chen is used to eating his own native eggs.

Of course, Tong Chen knows that now relatively large supermarkets have beautifully packaged quality eggs, and the taste of people's eggs is naturally not much worse, but the price is not low at all, compared with ordinary eggs, the price is several times different.

Tong Chen's business opportunity is to take advantage of this price difference, he thought that as long as the price of his eggs is more expensive than ordinary eggs, but cheaper than those packaged eggs, it seems not impossible to sell for 1,000 yuan in ten days.

It doesn't seem right, it's a nine-day income of 1,000 yuan, and it has to be sold for more than 100 yuan a day.

But is making money really as simple as Tong Chen thought?

With an idea, Tong Chen immediately began to prepare, first of all, there is no need to worry about the eggs, there are still a lot of leftovers at home, after thinking for a long time, Tong Chen found that as long as there is another weighed thing, it will be fine.

There is a relatively large market in Wuw County, which is a place specially designated by the county government for all kinds of small stalls and hawkers, and all kinds of hawkers set up stalls at will in the county seat, not to mention the disorder, and it also affects the environmental sanitation of the county.

Every morning is the busiest time of the market, farmers from all villages gather here, a variety of agricultural products, vegetables and fruits, as well as all kinds of daily necessities, it is simply a hodgepodge, and the first agricultural products of the day are also the freshest.

Tong Chen took a cardboard box and held more than a dozen catties of eggs, and also packed an electronic scale in a snakeskin bag.

The bazaar was already full of vendors selling all kinds of goods, some driving tractors, some driving tricycles, some driving cars, etc., but they had not yet begun to shout, because at this time there were only a few customers who came to buy things, and Tong Chen was squatting in an inconspicuous place.

Of course, this is not that Tong Chen is willing to squat in this place, but other advantageous positions have long been occupied by other traders, so he has to put them in places that others are unwilling to place.

However, what Tong Chen doesn't know is that as soon as each vendor occupies the place for a long time, this place has become his fixed place, and people can come over every day, if other uninformed people "trespass into the territory", they will be scolded by this person, and even driven away, this has become an unspoken rule of these vendors, and everyone will generally abide by it.

Tong Chen was a vendor for the first time, and he always felt a little embarrassed, he opened the carton to reveal the eggs inside, and the electronic scale was also placed in front of him, waiting for the customer to come to the door.

After more than ten minutes, the number of customers gradually increased, but most of the customers stayed in front of the relatively large and complete vendors.

Many other vendors also began to shout loudly, some roared directly with their mouths, some used hand-held horns, and there were shouts of everyone arguing and buying and selling, and the crowds were crowded, forming a busy scene of the common people in the early morning market in China.

Although Tong Chen had the intention to shout a few times to sell his native eggs, but after a few efforts, he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth, and he still couldn't pull off that face.

"Young man, are you here to set up a stall to sell eggs?", at this time, an aunt selling potatoes and corn next to Tong Chen asked.

Tong Chen nodded: "Hmm."

The plainly dressed aunt looked quite old, and she continued: "It's Sunday, so there are a lot more people than yesterday, young man, your eggs are from your own chickens?"

Tong Chen still nodded, he really wasn't the kind of cheerful personality who talked about people when he saw them, even if it had changed now.

"I see that your eggs are not easy to sell, there are several places that sell eggs over there, people's eggs are wholesale, the price is much cheaper, and now people still want to buy cheap", said, and the aunt also pointed to the specific location.

"My native eggs taste better than those eggs, and the nutritional value is higher", Tong Chen couldn't help but defend his eggs.

The aunt shook her head: "You are here, who knows that this is a native egg, even if someone knows, the price of your eggs must be more expensive than those eggs, everyone will not buy it when they hear this price."

Tong Chen didn't refute, because he felt that what the aunt said had a certain truth, now people love to be cheap, and if it is a little more expensive, it will be ignored, and most people do not distinguish much between these two kinds of eggs, what nutrition is not nutritious, I can eat two at the same price, why should I eat one?

As if to verify the aunt's prophecy, at this time, a middle-aged woman came over and asked, "How much do you have eggs?"

"Five yuan a catty", Tong Chen immediately responded, in fact, he was going to say six yuan a catty, but when the words came to his mouth, he decided to say less, maybe someone would buy it if he said less.

The woman shook her head, didn't say anything, and walked away.

"You see, she must be too expensive, so she left without saying a word", at this time the aunt interjected.

Tong Chen ignored her, he believed that the next customer would definitely buy it.

At this time, the flow of people reached its peak, and many customers began to wander around after buying necessities, and if there was anything that was eye-catching or cheap, they would buy it again; and there were some big vendors who had a lot of buyers in front of them, and other customers would come to some small stalls, and some people would just stroll around, and they would buy which one was cheaper, and so on.

After a while, another man came over from Tong Chen's stall: "How much does this egg sell?".

"This is our own native eggs, five yuan a catty."

The man's voice increased: "What? Five dollars a pound? The eggs there are only three dollars a pound, and you will need two yuan more."

Tong Chen patiently explained: "I am a native egg, which is different from ordinary eggs, whether it is the yolk or nutrition, it is better than those eggs."

"Who knows if you are a native egg, maybe you specially took some ordinary eggs to sell as native eggs."

Tong Chen was also speechless: "What kind of eggs I sell, I know better than anyone else, why should I lie to everyone?"

The man said reluctantly: "Of course you know the eggs you sell, but we don't know, haha, why lie to people, look at what you said, a pound can be sold for two yuan more, ten pounds is twenty, this is a lot of money."

Tong Chen was a little depressed, this person's suspicion is not unreasonable, the appearance is exactly the same, there is no basis for his words, there will definitely be many people who will not believe it, but how can he prove to him that the egg is not an ordinary egg, do you have to break an egg for them to see?

Tong Chen thought about it for a while, and gave up this idea, he didn't take any utensils for holding eggs, could he still hit the ground directly?

If Tong Chen had been able to give action before, but after a series of wilderness survival, he had already developed a good habit of cherishing food.

Furthermore, Tong Chen couldn't help but think in his heart, even if he opened the eggs, this person might not necessarily buy them, so why bother with it?
