1980: I have a spiritual spring

Chapter 37 Sold Out

In later generations, some so-called cultural masters have doctrines that have no scientific basis; and so-called authorities often contradict themselves.

These so-called "experts" do not aim to seek truth, and they speak irresponsibly. Their ultimate goal is profit. The lack of relevant supervision has led to the proliferation of these fake experts, who are jokingly referred to as "brick experts" by netizens.

However, in this era, the value of experts is beyond doubt. As long as you are associated with an expert, your credibility will skyrocket.

Therefore, upon hearing what Qiao Erhe said, the guests present couldn't help but come over and start discussing it.

"I never imagined that a freshly laid egg would be so nutritious."

"I hadn't paid attention to this before, but thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense. A hen only lays one egg in its lifetime, so it's normal that its nutritional value is higher than that of a regular egg!"

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I'll buy some to help her recover."

"..."

While the guests were discussing, Qiao Erhe untied the paper rope and added, "Comrades, our first-laid eggs come in a tray of 30 eggs. If you buy a small quantity, the price is 7 cents each. If you buy the whole tray of eggs, we will only charge 2 yuan, and we will also give you an egg tray for free."

These eggs are in limited supply, so those who want to buy them should hurry!

Upon seeing the clean, white eggs on the egg tray, one of the guests asked, "Comrades, are all of these eggs newly laid?"

Qiao Erhe nodded and said, "That's right. This year, our production team raised 1000 laying hens. These eggs were just laid by our team's laying hens today. We picked them up and sold them while they were still warm. They are absolutely fresh."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Dajiang and Qiao Sihai exchanged a glance, clearly not expecting Qiao Erhe to lie so readily.

However, they all understood that it was best to keep a low profile when traveling. Using the production team as cover was better than being an individual business owner, as it could save them a lot of trouble.

The customer who asked the question nodded and said, "Alright then, give me a tray of eggs."

Seeing this, the other guests also chimed in:

"Comrade, give me a carton of eggs too."

"Comrade, I'd like two trays of eggs."

"Comrade, I'll have two boards too."

"..."

In this day and age, eggs are practically a hard currency; they are indispensable whether visiting relatives or hosting a wedding banquet.

Moreover, there is currently a severe shortage of meat in the market, making eggs a good source of nutrition.

In rural areas, every household raises hens. As long as the eggs aren't sold for money, the family can still eat an egg every few days. But it's different for city dwellers. They don't raise chickens, so they have no other way to eat eggs except by buying them.

However, to buy eggs from supply and marketing cooperatives or other state-owned or collective enterprises, egg coupons were usually required. As a result, eggs sold by vendors who did not require egg coupons became very sought-after in the city.

While collecting money, the three Qiao brothers handed out tray after tray of eggs to the guests.

Qiao Erhe added, "Comrades, these eggs can be opened and inspected on the spot. Any eggs with cracked shells can be replaced. These first-laid eggs are only available today this year. If you want to buy first-laid eggs after today, you'll have to wait until next year."

At that time, in this vast sea of ​​people, the chance of us meeting again is less than one in a thousand. Therefore, this opportunity is truly rare, so please don't hesitate; if you want to buy, do it now! If you miss this chance, who knows when you'll be able to enjoy these freshly laid eggs again.

These words finally convinced the customer, who was initially hesitant about buying freshly laid eggs, to make up his mind.

After all, the egg seller was right. These first-laid eggs are so rare, and they had finally come across them. It would be a huge loss if they didn't buy them.

As a result, the owners of the other stalls saw a crowd of customers flocking to the new stall owner, waving banknotes and scrambling to buy eggs.

People tend to follow the crowd. The group of customers buys at least one tray of eggs, and some even buy two or three trays. No one on the scene suggests buying a few eggs. They either don't buy any, or if they do, they start with one tray.

The Qiao brothers brought a total of 33 trays of eggs. At such a buying speed, the 33 trays of eggs were sold out in less than ten minutes. The speed of the sale left Qiao Dajiang and Qiao Sihai dumbfounded, and even Qiao Erhe was shocked.

The customers who arrived later, having missed out on buying any, all looked disappointed. One customer immediately asked, "Comrades, does your production team still have these first-laid eggs for sale?"

Qiao Erhe shook his head and said, "Comrade, I'm really sorry, we really don't have any first-laid eggs this year. If you want to buy first-laid eggs, you'll have to wait until next year. However, if you want to buy regular eggs, we'll come and sell eggs every few days. If you need any, you can come and buy them then."

These words made the customers who bought the first-laid eggs very happy. Although the first-laid eggs were a bit expensive, experts said that the first-laid eggs had high nutritional value. They had made a profit by buying them. Didn't you see that the people who came later did not buy any?

Human happiness is determined through comparison.

The customers who bought the first-laid eggs happily carried their trays of eggs home.

Disappointed customers who couldn't buy the first-laid eggs remembered the egg seller's words that he would come back every few days to sell eggs. Since they couldn't buy the nutritious first-laid eggs, buying some regular eggs was still a good option.

After the guests left, the Qiao brothers looked at each other and both showed excited smiles.

Because the eggs were sold in cartons, each carton cost 2 yuan, and 33 cartons of eggs sold for a total of 66 yuan.

Although this amount of money is not as much as what Qiao Erhe earned from selling fish, selling fish was only a temporary measure, not a long-term business. Selling eggs, on the other hand, is a business that can be done long-term. The two should not be confused.

Especially Qiao Sihai, it was the first time he had ever seen money so easy, and his hands were trembling when he counted the money.

Seeing this, Qiao Erhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, look at you, so pathetic. You must be hungry after all this work. Let's find a place to buy something to eat and then take a car back!"

Upon hearing the word "eat," Qiao Sihai immediately perked up and asked, "Second Brother, what are we eating?"

Qiao Erhe thought for a moment and said, "I know a cheap and delicious thing here. I'll take you to try it."

Qiao Sihai asked expectantly, "Second Brother, what is it?"

Qiao Erhe said, "Don't ask any more questions, just come with me."

Qiao Dajiang and Qiao Sihai exchanged a glance, then, completely bewildered, picked up the empty bamboo baskets and followed.
