【20】Chiyo Market and Maruko Head Hoshiko
Eggs are limited to 1 box per person.
It doesn't affect him, it's far away from his house, and it's hard to take it back if you buy too much.
With less than 20 boxes of eggs left, it is clear that it is impossible to get any more discounts.
Although Sakita Gokawa is a little interested in what the three people in the Hoshikami support department are waiting for, it is still more important than eggs.
He picked up a box and looked at it.
Ordinary white-skinned eggs, the size of M, are usually priced at around 180 yen to 220 yen per box.
Judging from the number of people who buy eggs, there shouldn't be any big problem with eggs.
Sakita Gokawa took out 1,000 yen and handed it to the stall owner.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you money."
The egg vendor is an elderly mother-in-law with gray hair and wrinkled faces. But it's not hunchbacked, its movements are quick, and it looks very energetic.
Just as Sakita Gokawa was observing the old woman, a girl with a ball head stood next to him, reached out and picked up a box of eggs, and a happy smile appeared on her face:
"Ah, great, I thought it was sold out."
'The voice ......'
Saki Gokawa turned around meaningfully and looked at the ball-headed girl,
Modest loungewear... Even if it was home clothes and a pill head that he had never seen before, Sakita Gokawa still recognized the person in front of him at a glance.
"Sure enough, people with good looks look good no matter how they dress up, right......
The Kujou Hoshika with the ball head tied is cute, which he has to admit. Then the purpose of those three people coming here is very clear.
Sakita Gokawa looked towards the hiding place of the trio behind him.
Sato Tanio had already taken the lead in taking off his eyes at this time.
It seems that in the face of cuteness, the importance of disguising yourself is not worth mentioning.
"Mother-in-law Chiyo, I want to buy a box of eggs~" Kujo Hoshika waved his hand to the mother-in-law who was looking for change in the house.
"Wait a minute..."
Granny Chiyo handed one 500 yen and four 100 yen coins to Sakita Gokawa, "Hey, this is the money I found for you." ”
"So I've been looking for a 500 yen coin for so long..."
Sakita Gokawa smiled and reached out to take it.
Usually people who buy eggs pay change, and there are very few people who take out paper money to buy eggs like Sakita Gokawa, and even 500 yen coins are very few.
"The young man goes to Hokugi High School," Granny Chiyo asked with a friendly smile.
"I heard that the eldest lady of the Kujo family also goes to school there, if you meet her, can you say thank you to her for the old body?
The vegetable market here can continue to run thanks to the care of the Kujo family, and if it weren't for this egg stall, the old man really didn't know how to live. I've always wanted to thank Miss Kujo in person. ”
"Well, if I see her, I will definitely convey your heart to her." Sakita Gokawa smiled and glanced at Kujo Hoshiko, who was standing and waiting next to him.
The smile on the other party's face was full of happiness, and he seemed to be very happy, but at the same time he was a little shy, and his cheeks were slightly red.
It seems that Miss Kujo-sama herself doesn't want Chiyo's mother-in-law to recognize her.
'You're here to take care of business...'
Judging from the fact that there are still eggs left, the business of the vegetable market here is indeed not very good.
The eggs on sale will be sold out in a maximum of five minutes at the market where Osaki is usually grocery stored. There is also an endless stream of people buying ingredients, especially in the early morning and evening, which can almost be described as crowded.
And now in the evening of the peak period of grocery shopping, there are still a few people in the vegetable market, and the so-called large number of people is only relative to the outside.
"Mother-in-law, what is the usual price of eggs here?"
Kujou Hoshika had already finished paying and walked towards the other stalls.
There is a price whiteboard where the eggs are placed, but it just says "Special!" 100 yen per box! ”
There is no indication of exactly what time period of the special offer is.
"Ah," Chiyo replied with a smile as she put the coins into the wooden box behind her, "Every Monday after 4 p.m., eggs are half price, and usually 200 yen per box."
In other words, even at a special price of 100 yen per box, it will take more than three hours to sell out the eggs.
The stalls are not large, and the number of eggs is estimated to be even less than on the other side...
It seems that there is a huge difference in popularity. ’
At this time, the three Sato Tanio, who saw Kujo Hoshika leaving, took off their masks and walked over from the side, "Chiyo mother-in-law! Egg! ”
"Hey, you three boys are here again." Chiyo's mother-in-law picked up three boxes of eggs and handed them to Tanio Sato.
"Because Chiyo's mother-in-law sells very good eggs, and the omelettes are delicious."
The boy next to Sato Tanio should be in the road,
"It's also delicious to use as an omelet rice."
"Don't lose Aomori eggs at all!"
Chiyo's mother-in-law took three 100 yen coins from Sato Tanio's hand, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her tone was serious and domineering,
"Our eggs are unique! Definitely not lose to any opponent! ”
“YES! Agree! The three of them hurriedly said in unison.
......
"Chiyo-ma-ma is still the same... It's so good~~" Sato Tanio, who left the vegetable market and handed over the eggs and ingredients to the other two, put his hands behind his head and sighed sincerely.
Three people came to the vegetable market because the Kujo Hoshiko would appear here, and they waited at the egg stall because of the egg special, and the Kujo Hoshiko would definitely come to buy it.
Sakita Gokawa originally thought so.
But judging from the relationship between the three of Sato Tanio and Chiyo's mother-in-law, things don't seem to be so simple.
"You seem to know the mother-in-law who sells eggs before?"
The tram stop is northeast of Buui High School, and this wet market is southwest of Buui High School. By the way, the house of the Wuhe family is also in this direction.
It is indeed faster to go to school by train. But now, instead of going around in a big circle to take the train, it's better to walk home to save time.
"Ah, I know, a long time ago," Sato Tanio replied softly, looking up at the sky,
"The three of us live near here, and we usually come here to buy groceries.
According to my father, he has seen the vegetable market here since he was in elementary school.
Chiyo's mother-in-law is equivalent to the leader here, and she is very prestigious in this neighborhood, and the shops in the neighborhood are taken care of by her.
Well, as you can see, the name of the vegetable market is Chiyo Market.
It is said that in the past ten years, the wet market has experienced a major crisis, some shops have hoarded ingredients and no one has bought them, and some shops have not been able to buy them.
At the same time, there is also the extreme way to cause trouble.
It was Chiyo's mother-in-law who led everyone to pick up the knife in their hands to slaughter fish and pigs, and resisted together with the guns hidden in the house.
In the process of the government's suppression of the extreme path at that time, it was a great achievement.
Of course, the firearms of that time were handed in in at the end.
......
The decision to ask the Kujo family for help last year was also made by her and worked hard to fight for it. ”
'He's an amazing man. ’
Sakita Gokawa commented in his heart.
"But even if the Kujo family is willing to help, it's very difficult!" The boy on Sato Tanio's left complained helplessly, "There is a tram stop next to the Muzi Market, the transportation is convenient, the scale is larger than the Chiyo Market, and there is a famous consortium behind you to help with publicity, which is obviously not comparable." ”
"Kyosuke Yamaguchi, Miss Kujo-sama has done enough." Tanio Sato interrupted.
Kyosuke Yamaguchi tilted his head to the side, "I know." ”
