Chapter 319 Selling Eggs

"It's good that he ran away. Zhang Shuanzi is not a good guy. Some time ago, he and those guys peeped at someone taking a bath and were caught and beaten half to death."

"I just don't know where this girl can run to, but she is very strong and most people can't hold her down. I guess she won't be bullied."

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. She is strong, but there are people who are stronger than her, and the other side has more people and power, so she will definitely suffer."

"There aren't many tall girls around our village. She's unfamiliar, and it's daytime now. We might be seen by others. If we ask around, we might be able to find her."

I hope this girl is smart and smears her face with black paint, runs as far as she can without stopping.

Wang Ruhua said happily: "We went to see You Xiuhua last night. She was so happy that she said her family was going to have a grandson."

"As a result, their precious son was almost kicked to death. As for their grandson, I don't think they will ever have one in their lifetime."

"These three bastards have brought bad reputation to our Zhangjia Village. Girls from nearby villages are unwilling to marry in our village. My son will not be able to find a wife in the future. I will burn down their house."

Shen Ping, who was listening silently behind him, said, "Which girl dares to marry into your village? Aren't you afraid that they will go and peek at her bathing? Keep them in the village, and don't even think about marrying girls from nearby villages in Zhangjia Village."

Ji Wenhe nodded in agreement in his heart.

The reputation of these three people had already spread in the nearby villages, especially the fact that they peeked at people taking a bath, but they failed to do so, which made people hate them even more.

Wang Ruhua replied: "We wanted to drive the three families away, but the village chief disagreed. After all, they are Zhang people and have lived here for generations."

"These three are not good people. The village chief is afraid of their revenge, so he dare not drive them away."

She hoped that the three men would be beaten to death outside one day, so that there would be peace in their village.

"Oh, what a worry."

Not only did no girl dare to marry into Zhangjia Village, but girls who left Zhangjia Village would also be talked about behind their backs.

When they arrived in the town, the group split up and acted separately.

Ji Wenhe carried a basket and came to the street that Lan Qiuhua mentioned. There were no fixed stalls here, and the spot was taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

He chose a shady spot, gently put the basket down, lifted the cloth covering it, and squatted on the ground waiting for customers to come.

Soon, an old lady came over and asked in surprise, "Why do your chickens lay so many eggs?"

"My family has a lot of chickens, and this is what we saved for more than a month."

"That's quite a bit. I think it's bigger than the eggs my chickens lay. How much is one?"

"Three cents, all the same price."

There are also a few duck eggs and goose eggs below.

As they were chatting, a young woman came up with a basket, squatted in front of her and asked, "The eggs are good, how much are they?"

"Three cents a piece, and there are duck and goose eggs underneath. I'll take them out and show them to you."

She nodded and said, "Your eggs are bigger than others. I thought they would be a penny more expensive."

Ji Wenhe smiled and replied, "It's not much bigger. I can't sell it for four cents each."

He took out the duck and goose eggs from the bottom and said, "Madam, please take a look. Duck eggs are five cents each and goose eggs are six cents each. Do you want to buy some?"

"Okay, take ten eggs, two goose eggs and two duck eggs." He handed her the basket.

"Hey, I'll pick out the clean ones for you."

The eggs in the basket were all very clean, except for those that were covered with chicken droppings, which we kept for ourselves to eat.

He took the money with a smile and said, "Goodbye, ma'am."

There were more than forty chicken eggs, ten duck eggs and eight goose eggs, and it took almost an hour to sell them all.

Ji Wenhe stood up with the empty basket, wondering whether Shen Rongshan and the others had finished their shopping.

Leaving the vegetable market and walking out of the town, I passed by a shop selling cabinets and turned in.

The boss was counting the bills at the counter. When he looked up and saw someone coming in, he said politely, "Take a look. Ask the price for any item you like."

"it is good."

The shop is very large and is connected to the backyard, where several workers are making cabinets.

She pointed to a plain wardrobe without any carvings and asked, "Boss, how much does this wardrobe cost?"

The boss took one look and replied, "One hundred coins."

“It’s so expensive.”

Carpenter Li charges about 80 cents to make a wardrobe like this.

"We are all experienced craftsmen in our family. Our skills are impeccable. This price is not expensive."

Ji Wenhe opened the cabinet and took a look. He reached out and touched it. It was smooth. After a careful inspection, he found no flaws at all. It must be so expensive for a reason.

After looking around, I had a general idea in my mind.

After leaving the shop, I didn't hang around.

When she arrived outside the town, she saw Wang Ruhua waving at her from afar.

He walked over slowly and said, "Aunt Wang, when did you come?"

"We just arrived a while ago. They haven't come yet. Just squat down and wait."

After the vegetables I brought were sold out, I hurried over here, only to find that they hadn't come out yet.

Ji Wenhe leaned against the big tree behind him and listened to her questions.

“Are all the eggs sold out?”

“Yeah, they’re sold out.”

"So many eggs, they must sell for a lot of money."

"Fortunately, I saved it for more than a month, and my family didn't want to eat it."

When the chicks we buy grow up, we can harvest more in a day.

Wang Ruhua, who was squatting next to her, told her a lot of gossip, and she listened with great interest.

On the way back, I listened to her talk all the way.

Many things destroy one's worldview and are too shocking.

It seems that no matter in modern times or ancient times, as long as there are people, there will be things that destroy people's worldviews and make them unbelievable.

Jumping off the donkey cart, Ji Wenhe took down the farm tools, but they were too heavy to carry, so he waited for Shen Rongshan to come.

"We don't have to borrow any more from now on, we have it at home."

The plow, hoe, and other farm tools were all bought, and of course, a small stone mill.

"Sister-in-law, you take the meat to Aunt Lan's house, and give these to me. I'll take them back." Shen Yuanshan handed her the basket.

"Go ahead, there's also Aunt Li's." She wanted to go back and study the stone mill.

Shen Rongshan picked up the millstone and said, "Wen He, put it in the yard. There is no room in the house. We have to move it out if we need it."

"Okay, this is easy to wash anyway. Put it on the wooden rack and try it after the corn is harvested." Ji Wenhe followed him.

The remaining half bowl of white rice was not eaten. I soaked it in water and ground it together with the corn.

Next year, we will plant soybeans, which can be used to make tofu. She doesn’t know how to make tofu yet. When she has time, she will ask Lan Qiuhua if there is anyone in the village who knows how to make tofu so she can learn from her.

Holding the handle on the millstone, it turns smoothly, but you need to use some force.

Shen Rongshan went down the mountain to carry the hoe back, and then realized, "Wen He, I just remembered that we left it in Yuanshan's house. Running up and down the mountain is very tiring."

Ji Wenhe laughed and said, "Are you stupid? You want to carry it again."

In fact, she just remembered it after hearing what he said.

"I'll go down again."

The hoe and plow were placed in the utility room at the foot of the mountain.
