The stall occupies a small area, only two or three square meters.
There are several "stocking boards" with circular grooves on the stalls, on which twenty or thirty eggs stand. Other than that, there was nothing else on the stall.
The owner of the stall was a woman in her thirties, with a yellow complexion and heavy wrinkles.
Due to the fact that the stall had not been visited for a long time, and the weather was hot, the woman was dozing off on the stall at the moment.
Hua Xing tapped the table a few times before the woman came to her senses.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Hua Xing asking with a smile:
"How do you sell chicken eggs?"
Seeing that a guest had come to the door, the woman hurriedly got up from the stool and replied while rubbing her eyes:
"Chicken Eggs...... Sixty dollars a piece. ”
While speaking, the woman also took the opportunity to look at the other party.
Seeing that one of them was wearing a long robe and the other was wearing military armor, and at first glance they were rich people, so she immediately added:
"If you want more, fifty dollars will do."
Nodding slightly, Huaxing did not rush to make a statement, but picked up an egg on the table and asked while observing:
"These are all from your own chickens?"
"That's right! The one you took was just dropped two days ago, and it's fresh. The woman hurriedly introduced.
"Well, if it's fresh, you can buy more."
Speaking of this, I saw Huaxing put the egg back in its place, and took a bulging and large purse from his arms, and showed his "financial resources" to the other party without reservation.
The woman selling eggs is named Yu Shu, and she has been selling eggs in the West Market for many years.
However, due to the war, business has become more and more difficult in recent years. Just like today, the morning market is almost over, but she hasn't even been able to sell an egg.
At this moment, seeing that a "local tyrant" customer finally came, Yu Shu's face suddenly showed a bright smile, and she nodded and said:
"Oops! That's great. Hehe, I don't know how many adults want? ”
"How many ...... I'll have to think about it again. ”
Checking the purse in his hand, Huaxing did not reply directly, but began his research work as soon as his voice changed:
"By the way, isn't the chicken egg business not easy to do in the past two years?"
Although Yu Shu wanted to sell the eggs as soon as possible, the customer was not sure about the number, and she had no choice, so she could only reply with a smile:
"Alas! Isn't it? In these years, there are wars everywhere, people are short of money, and things like chicken eggs that are not enough to eat and expensive are becoming more and more difficult to buy. In the past, there were two chicken eggs sellers in the market, but they all stopped last month, and now I am the only one left. ”
"Oh, that's right." nodded thoughtfully, and listened to Hua Xing ask for the second time:
"Then why don't you want to sell cheaper? Maybe the price is lower, and more people will buy it? ”
After listening to Huaxing's suggestion, Yu Shu said helplessly:
"Big brother, in order to let my chickens lay eggs well, we put all our rations in. If you sell it too cheaply, you won't even be able to earn it back. So...... Alas, if my brother buys it sincerely, then it will be forty dollars a piece, it really can't be lower! ”
In just two minutes, Yu Shu reduced the unit price from 60 yuan to 40 yuan, a full third, which is enough to see that the egg business is really not very good.
Hearing this, Huaxing still did not express his position, but fell into a deep thought.
After about seven or eight seconds, he raised his head again and asked Yu Shu a question that surprised the other party:
"By the way, eldest sister, do you sell your chickens?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Shu frowned on the spot and said with a puzzled face:
"Big brother, what do you want my chicken for? If you want to eat chicken, go over there and ask Aunt Sun to buy it, she has broiler chickens. My family is a chicken that lays eggs, and it's a pity to eat it. ”
"No, no, the eldest sister misunderstood, I bought it to lay eggs. You think about it, if you are willing to sell it......" After a long tail note, Hua Xing said again:
"How about a hen for a tael of silver?"
Judging from the current market price, an adult broiler is about 400 yuan, and if it is a hen that lays eggs, it can be sold for 6 or 700 yuan.
But as soon as Huaxing opened his mouth, it was one or two pieces of silver, almost twice as high as the market price!
Hearing this, a touch of surprise instantly crossed Yu Shu's eyes, and she asked incredulously: "Big, big brother, are you joking?" ”
"Of course not! I'm serious. Shaking his head, Hua Xing asked with a straight face: "I don't know how many hens there are in the eldest sister's house?" ”
"Well, there's seventeen, eight."
"Let's count it according to eighteen first, that is, eighteen taels of silver. Coupled with the chicken eggs on the table, I counted fifty dollars each, a total of thirty, which is fifteen hundred dollars. All added together is nineteen taels and five hundred dollars. Just make up the whole and count your twenty taels of silver. As long as the eldest sister says a word, this silver is yours! ”
After saying this, Hua Xing took out two ingots of ten taels of silver from his arms on the spot and placed them on the table, and Yu Shu's lips were wide open. In addition to being surprised, his eyes were also full of hesitation.
If it is placed in a good year, no matter how high Huaxing's bid is, Yu Shu will never consider this matter, because it is impossible for her to cut off her way of making a living for the sake of a little profit in front of her.
But in the past few years, the cost of raising chickens has become higher and higher, not to mention, the sales of eggs have become more and more bleak, and even some have been unable to make ends meet.
Therefore, Yu Shu actually had the idea of giving up, but she has never been able to make up her mind.
Until now, hearing Huaxing put forward such tempting conditions, it was really difficult for her to refuse.
But just when she was about to agree, another thing suddenly popped up in Yu Shu's mind, and she said with an embarrassed face:
"This is the ...... It's a success, but I've paid for this stall for a year, and now I'm selling the chickens to you......"
It doesn't mean that after Shu finished speaking, Hua Xing guessed what the other party meant, and directly interrupted:
"Hehe, that's the case, I even bought this stall together, and I will make up all the money you paid, so it's okay now, right?"
Hearing that the other party was so generous, Yu Shu immediately showed a look of joy, and said excitedly:
"Thank you so much, brother! Okay, I'll sell you all the chickens and eggs and the stalls! ”
……
After a morning of shopping, Hua and Tang were a little tired, so they came out of the market and found a restaurant to rest for a while.
After pouring the teacups for the two of them, he saw Tang Sheng sitting opposite Huaxing with a dejected face, and sighed lightly:
"I didn't expect that in Luoyang, Kyoto, the chicken egg business is so difficult to do. Alas! When our chicken farm is built, so many chicken eggs ...... Who will sell it to? ”
After listening to Tang Sheng's words, Hua Xing's face was not worried, and he blew the tea in the cup and said:
"Sister Yu can't sell it because the price is too high for the people to afford, so no one buys it. And we have an advantage over her in terms of feed, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
