Chapter 31: Selling Eggs

Early the next morning, when Gu Lin got up, Zhang Guixiang had already made breakfast, and Zhou Xiaojuan had already gotten up, and after washing, she read a book for a while.

Although the little girl is only in the first grade, her thirsty learning attitude makes Gu Lin ashamed.

Only Zhou Lai Qian has not woken up.

Before Gu Lin could speak, the little girl had already gone to call someone.

After a while, I heard Zhou Laiqian scolding and getting up.

In order to make today's wormwood sell well, Gu Lin explained to Zhang Guixiang when he went to bed last night that he steamed wormwood in the morning.

They wrapped it in a quilt, and the wormwood might be colder, but not cold.

Bring a little more chili pepper and sugar, and let everyone taste it when the time comes.

As long as someone tastes it, it can be sold.

Zhang Guixiang got up early in the morning and steamed a big pot of mugwort and cooked a little millet porridge.

After eating, Gu Lin found two clean porcelain basins and put the mugwort inside, and wrapped it in a quilt outside.

The family went out.

I just had to pass by Zhou Xiaojuan's school to go to the town, and I put Zhou Xiaojuan down halfway.

Gu Lin and Zhang Guixiang shrank in the quilt, and the cold wind was still blowing down their necks and into their clothes.

Zhang Guixiang put half of the quilt on Gu Lin's body, and half of her body was exposed.

Gu Lin pulled some more and covered her with it.

"Mother, don't pull it for me, I can still carry it if I am young and sick, you may not be able to carry it!"

As soon as Zhang Guixiang heard this, she stopped pulling the quilt.

The two of them were close to each other.

"Alin, is there a lot of people in the town? Are they easy to get along with? Will you see the joke that we are from the countryside? My mother has lived for the first time in her life and went to the town for the first time, and this dress is still the cleanest clothes for my mother! ”

During dinner last night, Gu Lin said that she also went to town today, and she basically didn't sleep all night.

Scared and happy.

Naturally, I am afraid that I will be laughed at, or if I do something wrong, I will cause trouble for Alin.

I'm glad that half of my body is about to be buried in the ground, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to go to the town to have a look.

The more he knew about the little old lady around him, the more distressed Gu Lin became.

Zhang Guixiang is forty years old, and he hasn't been to the town yet.

It's ridiculous to say this, but it's normal for most people in the village.

There were still people in the village who had never been to the town until they died.

Gu Lin said softly: "The people in the town are just like us, they have a mouth under their noses!" They just eat better than us, live better than us, and dress better than us.

"You're dressed well! We're no worse than them! ”

"Then we brought some things today, can we sell them?"

"I don't know this yet, I think it can be sold! If we can't sell it, let's take it back and eat it ourselves! ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

With Gu Lin talking to Zhang Guixiang, Zhang Guixiang didn't feel bored, and there was not much fear in his heart.

Zhou Laiqian is a young and vigorous young man, wearing only a thick cotton jacket, sitting in front of the car, not cold at all.

I don't know if this kid is happy to go to the town or happy to make money, and he whistles halfway.

The maiden was already in town at dawn.

Seeing so many people in the town, Zhang Guixiang trembled and said, "Come on money, is it a big gathering today?" ”

Zhou Laiqian thought for a while: "It's not, what's the matter!" ”

He jumped out of the car, pulled the donkey and walked forward slowly, and glanced back at Gu Lin: "Some people, today is shit luck!" ”

Gu Lin crawled out of the quilt: "Then you wish me to be able to sell things today, if I do, let's buy a pound of meat, and go back and let my mother wrap sauerkraut and pork stuffed buns for us!" ”

Zhou Lai Qian didn't speak, and the Adam's apple slid quickly.

Feeling as if he was drooling, he subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth with his hand.

Gu Lin laughed for a while.

Sometimes this kid is like an adult, sometimes like a child.

It's really what Zhou Xiaojuan said, the stinky boy who didn't grow his hair.

There are more and more people, and the car is not easy to walk.

Gu Lin jumped out of the car.

Zhou Laiqian asked her: "Where to sell?" ”

Gu Lin said: "Go directly to the market, there are many people early in the morning, maybe you can sell it, and if you can't sell it, you can go to other places!" ”

Although he came and went in a hurry last time, Gu Lin still noticed some things in the town.

Because they are located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains, there are no factories in the county and provincial cities.

The only ones that are likely to be in a better financial situation are schools and military families.

Gu Lin hadn't seen it yet.

It was not the first time Zhou Laiqian had come to town, but it was the first time he had done business, and his palms were full of sweat.

At this time, Gu Lin was his backbone.

He will do whatever Gu Lin says.

Zhang Guixiang didn't dare to get out of the car, for fear that she would get lost with Alin if she wasn't careful.

Before the three of them reached the gate of the market, they couldn't squeeze in.

Gu Lin saw that they were not far from the gate of the market, and there were also people in this place who set up stalls to sell vegetables.

She found a place and asked Zhou Laiqian to tie the donkey well.

After bolting, the two took out two sacks of wormwood and a basket of eggs.

As soon as Gu Lin pulled Zhang Guixiang to sit down, an aunt carrying a vegetable basket came up.

"Girl, when did this egg come from?"

Gu Lin hurriedly said: "Auntie, all the eggs in my house are fresh, and they are all laid by my chickens themselves!" ”

"We just came from home early in the morning, and it's not that we can't squeeze in, so we can only sell here! If you like it, I'll give you a cheaper price! “”

After everyone slept last night, Gu Lin went back to the dormitory.

There was a computer in the dormitory, and she used it to check the prices of the world she lived in in the 80s.

Although the era she is in now is in the early nineties, because it is located in the northwest and is still a remote mountain village.

Therefore, the news here is closed, and the economic and cultural aspects are much backward compared with the big cities.

She compared, and the prices here were about the same as they were in the early eighties.

In the early eighties, eggs were one two pounds a piece, ten more eggs per catty, and seven or eight less eggs.

Now if you go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something, it seems that you still need a ticket.

Eggs are also a precious thing for them, and there are many people who eat them but few tickets, so some people should buy them if the price is higher.

Doing business is nothing more than a sweet mouth and a quick mind, as long as you talk to the other party's heart.

There's nothing that can't be done in this business.

Gu Lin saw that the aunt was standing still, and kept touching the eggs over and over again, obviously knowing it.

Gu Lin figured it out and said, "Auntie, you often sell vegetables and cook, my eggs are not fresh, you must be able to see it at a glance!" ”

"In this way, when I open a business, I won't take a pound by piece, I'll count it as a dollar and a pound for you, and I'll give you wormwood!"

"Come on, grab a handful of wormwood!"

Zhou Laiqian, who was dumbfounded, heard his sister-in-law call him, and mechanically untied the rope tied to the sack.

Grabbed a large handful of wormwood from inside.
