Chapter 156: Farming? Peasant Girl (4)
An hour later, He Chunxia came out of the reeds with dozens of egret eggs, and Song Ling then came out, there were a lot of eggs on her body, and the sharp reeds cut her arm, but she didn't know it, holding the egret eggs, her head was still confused, she never thought that she would do such a thing.
The two took the eggs back home, checked the broken ones, and then sorted out the eggs and put them in the basket one by one.
Looking at the broken eggs, Song Ling looked distressed.
He Chunxia thought about it, and let Song Ling boil these eggs that were damaged, anyway, they could still eat them.
"Do you have to sell all these eggs in spring and summer? Why don't you leave a few and wait for it to hatch? ”
Song Ling said cautiously.
He Chunxia knew what Song Ling was thinking, and she didn't think about it, not to mention the question of whether the egret could fly or not, they lived in this kind of place, and they could still raise chickens, if people saw it, they might as well be blushing, so it was better to sell them all and save some trouble.
"It's best if it can be hatched, but what if it doesn't? It's not a waste! ”
Song Ling thought about it, and there was also this possibility, but when she thought of selling them all, she was a little reluctant.
The next morning, before dawn, He Chunxia got up to tidy up, and the mother and son each had a basket, and rushed to the county seat.
By the time we arrived in the county seat, the sky was already slightly bright, Gaodong Village was poor, but Yanbian County still had a bit of an economic foundation, and there was a mechanical processing factory and production plant in the county, which fed many workers, and in this kind of place, what was most needed was meat and eggs.
But eggs are generally retail, so you have to try your luck when you buy eggs.
After all, in this era, there are many pigs and cattle, but there are very few poultry, and they can't eat enough, where is there any surplus grain to raise poultry?
"Where to sell?"
Song Ling asked He Chunxia, she rarely comes to the city, and she is even more unfamiliar with the city, and now she carries eggs, but she doesn't know where to sell them.
He Chunxia was not in a hurry to sell, but carried a basket and walked around the neighborhood.
Her appearance is already swaggering, and when she passes by the crowd, she will inevitably be watched.
And even more so when she's staring at other people's eggs.
Many of the egg sellers come from the countryside, and when they are finished, they want to leave quickly, and there is no price to talk about.
I looked at several companies, there are those who sell eggs, and there are those who sell duck eggs, the price of eggs is slightly higher than that of duck eggs, but it can only be a few cents a pound higher, and a pound of eggs is only eight or nine, and duck eggs are a little less, only six.
Everyone sells by the catty, but He Chunxia doesn't, when it comes to selling, first, she doesn't weigh it, and secondly, it naturally makes people curious, after all, in this era, no one has ever talked about selling eggs.
After understanding the market clearly, He Chunxia chose to set up a stall outside the machinery processing factory.
As soon as he put down the basket, a white-looking man stepped forward, looking at He Chunxia with a pair of eyes, and did not hide his love for her.
He Chunxia also pretended not to find it, but just sorted out his own things.
The man took the initiative to talk: "Selling eggs? ”
He Chunxia raised his head and glanced at the man, grinning, and when she smiled, the man's body was crisp: "Egret eggs, pure game, and all fresh, if you buy it, it will be cheaper for you!" ”
Egret eggs are smaller than domestic eggs, so people are naturally reluctant to buy them, but the price is cheaper, and with the word game, it is different.
"How did you sell it?"
Although the man asked about the eggs in his mouth, his eyes kept staring at He Chunxia.
"Less than ten, a dime a piece, but if you buy twenty, then you will be charged eight for a piece, and two dollars for thirty dollars!
She used modern ladder pricing, which made the man a little confused, plus He Chunxia was beautiful, the man didn't bargain at all, and directly bought thirty egret eggs.
He Chunxia packed the egret eggs and handed them to the man, his movements were swift, without dragging the mud and water at all, and after several people next to him saw it, they also came forward one after another.
In just one hour, the dozens of egret eggs brought by He Chunxia have been sold, and with the money from selling eggs in his arms, his heart is full of fulfillment.
The first time I found out that money brings joy.
"Spring and summer, why do you sell things? These people don't even talk about the price! ”
Song Ling thought back to the scene just now, and she hadn't come back to her senses yet, her daughter in the past had nothing to do except Sapo, but now she is unambiguous when she sells things.
He Chunxia was confident: "It's not because I'm beautiful!" ”
She is indeed beautiful, and almost all of the young men she attracts are patronized to see He Chunxia, who will bargain?
A few women selling eggs next to her, seeing He Chunxia selling eggs so quickly, inevitably blushed, and after hearing her say that she was so shameless that she was beautiful, her face suddenly became a little ugly, don't look at her anymore.
After Song Ling heard He Chunxia's words, she hurriedly put on a straight face: "Chunxia, pay attention when you talk outside!" ”
After speaking, Song Ling also looked around cautiously, for fear that someone would covet her family's spring and summer.
He Chunxia didn't care, she felt for the first time that the sentence "eating by her face" still made sense, although she was not ugly in her previous life, she was too ordinary, and it was difficult for people to find out if she was thrown in the crowd, but this He Chunxia was different, even if she was thrown into the crowd, she was still the best.
Eighty egret eggs were sold for nearly ten yuan, and He Chunxia sorted out the money and gave it to Song Ling, but Song Ling didn't ask for it, but asked He Chunxia to collect it.
After selling the eggs, He Chunxia did not leave in a hurry, but walked around the city, looking for opportunities to make money.
The county seat is not big, the two didn't turn around for long, they had come to an end, Song Ling proposed to go home, but He Chunxia turned around and went back, bought some salt, candles, matches and other necessities, Song Ling looked at the money used, very distressed, but there was nothing in the dilapidated old house, if it wasn't for the quilt brought out from He's house, they would probably freeze to death at night.
But just if it is useful, there is no food, and it is not good, He Chunxia is going to go to the grain store to buy some rice, but as soon as she steps into the grain store, the boss asks her for food stamps, and she can't take it out, so she can only buy grain at a high price.
In the past 80 years, almost all parts of the country have to use tickets, and if you don't have tickets, you can only spend high prices, what food stamps, meat stamps, these are all daily needs. It will be a few years before the food stamps are abolished, and there are business opportunities in this regard.
What He Chunxia has to do is to seize the opportunity, maybe she will have the opportunity to be a rich person in the eighties, although she is not studying economics, but she specializes in history, although she has not experienced it, but she knows a general direction, compared with her contemporaries, she still has a certain advantage.
"Spring and summer, things are also bought, let's go back!"
Song Ling turned around several times, and in this county town, she only felt uncomfortable, so she wanted to urge He Chunxia to leave.
The two of them started to hurry before dawn, sold all the eggs, and didn't feel hungry before, but remembering the two or three hours of going back, He Chunxia felt weak.
"Let's eat something and go!"
Roadside stalls don't need food stamps, a bowl of porridge and steamed buns are only four cents, and you can also add pickles!
The porridge is cooked on the bun grain, the water and the rice are almost separated, the clear soup can almost illuminate people, He Chunxia is not so particular, fill the stomach first.
"Auntie, two bowls of porridge, four steamed buns!"
He Chunxia pulled Song Ling to sit down, looked at the steamed bun Song Ling's stomach suddenly screamed, but she still said: "I want a steamed bun, spring and summer, you just eat it, Mom is not hungry!" ”
He Chunxia didn't care about her and paid directly.
The aunt of the shop praised He Chunxia for her filial piety, but Song Ling was full of sadness, remembering the rumors in the village, she glanced at He Chunxia with a complicated expression, and did not speak.
The aunt quickly brought the porridge and steamed buns, and He Chunxia ignored everything else and concentrated on eating.
"Boss, come two bowls of porridge and a drawer of steamed buns!"
Suddenly, a deep voice came from the next table.
Bun? Got buns?
He Chunxia subconsciously raised his head, wanting to see who was at the next table.
But when he looked up, he met a pair of fiery eyes.
The man's eyes were staring at He Chunxia, and when the four eyes met, the man actually swallowed his saliva fiercely.
He Chunxia glared at the man unhappily, then withdrew his gaze and continued to eat the porridge and steamed buns in the bowl.
A few minutes later, He Chunxia finished eating and left with Song Ling.
Seeing He Chunxia leave, those fiery eyes were a little reluctant, and it wasn't until the voice next to him sounded that he regained his senses.
"What do you see? The buns are already cold! ”
The man retracted his gaze in embarrassment, turned his head to look at his companion with a gloomy face, and the man scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Brother, didn't you see it just now?" That little girl, what a sign she looks like! ”
The companion didn't even raise his eyelids, and after quickly eating the porridge, he raised his head again: "Hurry up and eat well and hurry!" ”
The man was a little reluctant, but He Chunxia had disappeared into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
After eating the buns and settling the bill, the two left the stall and got into a car around the corner.
In this kind of small county, the car is almost invisible, and the most common is the bicycle, which is powered by the engine, which inevitably makes people look twice.
"Spring and summer, look what it is!"
Song Ling looked at the car coming from afar and grabbed He Chunxia's wrist in surprise.
He Chunxia glanced at the black car and spit out two words lightly: "Auto!" ”
At this time, the man sitting in the co-pilot saw He Chunxia and hurriedly asked the man next to him to see: "Brother, look, is that beautiful?" ”
The man sitting in the driver's seat had a serious expression, staring ahead, driving the car without distractions, he was not interested in women or anything at all, but he couldn't resist the man next to him, but by the time the man looked up, He Chunxia had already disappeared.
