Chapter 49: Stress

"And I can't get used to the food they eat, people don't want to cook, so it's called takeout, I'm idle and have nothing to do to help them cook a meal, right?

Tong Chen thought for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh, everyone has a time when they are old, when everyone is old, what does it look like?

The cycle of heaven is endless!

At this time, Tong Chen became a sincere listener to the old man, listening to the ups and downs of her life.

"What kind of egg are you, and how much does it cost?", asked a man who came over after a long time.

Tong Chen is still in the previous language: "I am a native egg, which is different from ordinary eggs, five yuan a catty."

"Are you sure this isn't an ordinary egg? I see that it looks like a normal egg there," a woman behind the man chimed in.

Tong Chen seems to have predicted that this scene would appear, in fact, it is not that Tong Chen has the ability to predict, but that he knows that the current consumers are far more serious and demanding than you think.

"I'm holding an ordinary egg here", Tong Chen said as he took the ordinary egg prepared in advance in his hand, and took another earthen egg in his left hand;

"Can you observe the difference between the two's appearances?".

"This left hand looks bigger, the other one is smaller," the man responded, and the woman behind nodded in agreement.

Even the aunt's eyes were attracted by Tong Chen at some point.

Tong Chen picked up the bowl, first picked up the ordinary eggs, knocked slightly, the pale yellow egg yolk and egg white flowed into the bowl, it looked no different, it was the egg that everyone usually eats.

"The shell of an ordinary egg should be thinner, but the native egg is different", Tong Chen picked up the native egg and touched it lightly, but it was not broken for the first time.

"Is it that you didn't work hard and deliberately performed like this", the man immediately expressed doubts.

"No, the two times I used almost the same force, the shell of the native egg is indeed thicker," Tong Chen shook his head and explained.

"And if you don't believe it, you can buy it and try it."

After speaking, Tong Chen touched it harder, and the egg liquid of the native egg also flowed into this bowl.

To everyone's surprise, the egg is a double egg yolk, which is dark yellow in color compared to ordinary eggs, and the color is in stark contrast to the previous egg yolk, and the egg white is also more solidified.

"It's really different, the quality of your eggs is obviously much better, come, give me a bag, I want to buy a few catties", the man said excitedly.

Then, the man picked three catties of eggs, and the woman couldn't help but buy two catties.

The next day, Tong Chen sold five catties of eggs for the first time, earning 25 yuan, which is undoubtedly a good start compared to yesterday.

But then it didn't seem to continue this kind of luck, he was looking forward to the highest flow of people, and he only sold three catties, which seemed to pounce on Tong Chen in front of him with a basin of cold water, which made his mood quickly dim again.

"Your native eggs are more expensive than the eggs eaten by the common people, and the people who buy them are still a minority after all", the aunt couldn't help but say.

"Well, I know".

The sun rose higher and higher, and the busy morning ended again, and the aunt saw that there were not many people, so she said hello to Tong Chen and left the market.

Tong Chen didn't go to breakfast right away, he was looking forward to selling an extra catty is a catty, so that he would be closer to the goal.

Waiting is the hardest thing to do, and waiting to sell something is even harder, especially when few people have bought it yet.

At the end of the day, when he returned home in the evening, he had fifty yuan of change in his hand, which was Tong Chen's income for the day.

With a total income of 70 yuan in two days, Tong Chen felt a little desperate, is it really impossible to sell eggs?

On the third day, Tong Chen came to this market again to set up a stall, and he encouraged himself in his heart to be patient in everything he does, and the situation will always change.

Sitting there and waiting to sell something, in the eyes of others, is not too hard, someone to buy is good, no one to buy can also chat to pass the time, can sell as much as you want, but this is turned into a time-limited task, requiring the specified time must be completed within the specified time, otherwise the consequences of failure are unimaginable, this is not a wonderful thing.

The roar of the ups and downs rang out again, and a new day began again in the noisy bazaar.

As usual, Tong Chen felt that he had waited for a long time to sell three catties of eggs, and listening to the shouts of others, he felt that he should also roar twice.

But when the words still came to his lips, he couldn't pull his face and shout out, Tong Chen couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his own performance, you couldn't even shout a few times, what task do you still want to accomplish? I don't think you can do anything.

Tong Chen sat there calmly on the surface, but his thoughts were churning in his heart, and he was fiercely engaged in ideological struggle.

"Sell eggs, sell eggs", Tong Chen took a lot of effort to force himself to shout twice, but the voice was so low that only he could hear it.

In fact, as long as Tong Chen passed the level in his heart, he would not be shy and dare not shout a few times, he shouted the first time, and then it was not so difficult.

"Sell eggs, sell eggs", Tong Chen shouted higher and higher, and the mustard in his heart was put down at the same time.

The aunt looked at it curiously, she seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The more Tong Chen shouted, the more energetic he became: "Selling eggs, selling local eggs, five yuan a catty."

The effect is really different, many people have looked sideways after hearing it, and many people who didn't notice it only found that there was a young man selling eggs here.

But most of the people just looked, turned around and focused on doing their own thing, and a few came over after hearing it, and after asking the price again, a few more left, and the remaining three people bought a total of eight catties of eggs in turn.

Tong Chen was overjoyed, today's income has exceeded yesterday's, and there are not many catties of eggs left in the box.

"Yo, isn't this Tong Chen? Let me see, it's really you, why did you kid sell eggs?", at this time, a man dressed in fashion and holding a cigarette in his hand walked over as he spoke.

Tong Chen heard the sound and looked, the slightly unfamiliar face slowly became familiar in his mind, and he remembered that at this time, his high school classmates were still in a dormitory in high school.

After Tong Chen finished elementary school in the village, he was admitted to the county No. 1 middle school in high school, but it is not as described in the novel, the relationship between classmates in a dormitory must be very good, but it is still more tense in high school.

Of course, there is a reason for this, Tong Chen's class at the time, the classmates in the class often gang up, and they form a group with similar tempers, especially in the late stage of high school, but there are not many people who are willing to learn, many of them hide behind a stack of textbooks in class and sleep quietly, or play with mobile phones, and the atmosphere of heavy makeup and dressing up among the girls has also risen early, and many have also begun to fall in love for the first time in their lives.

However, Tong Chen's performance was the opposite, he was not affected by this atmosphere in his studies, and all his spare time was spent on studying, and he became a so-called good student in the eyes of the teacher.

At this point, he was automatically distinguished from most of the boys in his class and became an outlier in their eyes.
