Hard times have room

Chapter 968 Buying Eggs

Not long after the light snow fell, less than a week later, a heavy snow covered the whole school, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the students.

After class at noon, after eating in the cafeteria, Bao Lin, Xu Rui, plus Luo Ting, Lin Sisi and Xia He went to the school playground.

Yesterday's snow was so thick that if you step on it, the uppers of your shoes will be covered by white snow, so they agreed to have a snowball fight together today.

For such a fun thing, of course the whole dormitory needs to be together!

They also found Qiu Yu and Chen Hong, but they felt that it was too cold outside and they didn't want to move. They were afraid that if they ran outside, the wind would blow and they would catch a cold, so they declined the invitation.

As soon as they arrived, there were already people playing in the snow on the playground, playing snowball fights, and making snowmen. This heavy snow added some flavor to their poor college life.

The five big girls in the dormitory were having a great time. The five of them threw me and I threw you, and they had a strong desire to win.

Later, their team expanded again. Chen Hong and Qiu Yu stayed in the dormitory, and they also came to the playground and joined five of them, so their team became seven.

By the time they stopped panting, it had been more than an hour. After running for so long, they were sweating, but they all liked this hearty exercise.

Today is Saturday, so they have a lot of time in the afternoon. Those who want to take a bath can take a bath, and those who don't want to take a bath can use hot water to wipe their bodies and wash their faces.

They bring hot water to the cafeteria. The downstairs of the dormitory only has hot water when the weather is warm and comfortable. In winter, the hot water is supplied by the cafeteria.

The coal stove outside the dormitory was as deserted as ever. They only used it once, and no one moved it again because they thought it was troublesome. Until now, the stove is still left in the corridor to eat ashes.

The dormitory manager also came to their dormitory to ask, but they didn't prohibit them from using it, let alone confiscated their things. They just reminded them that if they burn the stove in the dormitory, they must remember to open the window.

Although there are some small gaps in the doors and windows of the dormitory to replace the air, just in case!
The next day, Baolin and Xu Rui took the bus to a small alley beside her house. There were people selling vegetables and eggs there. The price of the old hen is not cheap, at least two yuan a piece.

This place is not a black market, but an unscrupulous trading market. Farmers around the suburbs spontaneously sell things in the alley. Anyone can come. There is no manager. It has been more than ten years and has not changed. , everyone is familiar with it.

Those people only sell vegetables, they are all from poor families, and no one bothers them. After all, selling vegetables for a day is only a few cents.

Now the market in Chenjiazhuang is still open as usual, and Baolin will go to the big market in Chenjiazhuang during winter and summer vacations to buy something and go back, just like before.

"Baolin, that's it. We can see it when we go in. It's a very, very long alley, and there are a lot of things for sale in it." Xu Rui held Wang Baolin's hand and said excitedly.

Since she went to school, she seldom comes here. When she was young, her favorite thing was to sit in the alley with her younger siblings. It seems that people coming and going buy and sell things, which is very lively, and there are often several sittings. Hour.

"Does this place have people selling things every day?" Pauline asked, pointing to the busy alley in front of her.

Good guy, there are dozens of people inside, it's really lively.

"Yeah, anyone who has more than enough food will sell it here. The price is very cheap. People in the neighborhood like to come here to buy things."

People who live in the city need money and tickets for food and drink every day. This is not a small sum, so naturally they can save as much as they can.

The management is not very strict now, there are people selling vegetables here, and the prices are not expensive, so people will come here to buy things naturally.

After the two went in, Xu Rui took Baolin straight to the destination. This time they came to buy eggs, the more the better, the eggs in the cafeteria cost five cents each, which was too expensive.

In addition, Xu Rui often told Pauline how cheap and big the eggs are here, so today, the two of them came here.

"Auntie, how do you sell your eggs?" Xu Rui asked after taking an egg from the basket in front of her.

I saw her right index finger and thumb holding the egg, and the other hand began to move the egg to make it turn. This method was taught to her by her father who has worked with ingredients all her life. There has never been a mistake, as long as it is If it can turn freely, the egg is fresh.

"Four cents a piece. My eggs are fresh. They are freshly laid. I brought all the eggs at home."

"You have also seen that my eggs are very big. They are all laid by the old hens in the family. They are very nutritious. The price is very good." The old lady tried her best to sell her own eggs.

"No way, the price is too expensive. Don't the supply and marketing cooperatives charge you two cents each? Small people don't charge it. Your four cents is too expensive."

"Besides, your head is not very big! I think it's just average, anyway, it's much smaller than my eggs." Xu Rui directly took the selling point of the old lady and hit it head-on.

Anyway, it's just the same thing, I don't think your stuff is very good, why is it so expensive.

"My price is really fair, you guys have a look." Finally, two young girls came, and she still wanted to earn a fortune!

This young girl is thin-skinned, and naturally she doesn't know the market for eggs. She might be able to sell them for an extra ten or two cents, which can buy her grandson a lot of candies.

"Forget it, since you don't want to sell it, let's look elsewhere. Others will definitely not ask such an exaggerated price." After Xu Rui finished speaking, she gestured to pull Baolin to leave.

She doesn't necessarily have to buy things here, there are four or five egg sellers in this alley, and she has a lot of choices.

Why did she bring Pauline here as soon as she came here?

It's not because the old lady's eggs are fresh and not bad in size.

This old lady is an old seller in this alley. Her eggs are collected from the countryside for two cents more, and she earns the difference. Therefore, she picks the eggs first, and she collects eggs in the countryside. When it's time, she only accepts the fresh eggs, and she doesn't want the stale ones, lest they fall into her own hands.

"Okay, I'm really scared of you, three cents each, pick whatever you want, okay?"

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for your good fortune, I wouldn't sell it at this price. It's too bad." The old lady pretended that she had suffered a loss, and called the man back. .

The next thing was very logical. To buy eggs, Guang Baolin bought [-] eggs alone, and Xu Rui also bought [-] eggs. When they left, the basket in front of the old lady was already more than half empty.

　It's too hot. After blowing on the fan in summer, my head is dizzy and my forehead is very cold. In summer, don't be too greedy for coolness!Otherwise, you'll be like me, confused now
