farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 62

"How do you sell your eggs?"

Suddenly someone asked, Zhang Xihua quickly raised her head, and seeing a well-dressed man, she replied crisply: "Half a penny each. If you weigh it, it's five pennies a catty."

The man wore a hat to shade the sun, and he said casually, "It's expensive."

Looking at his face, Zhang Xihua smiled and said, "The eggs in the little woman's house were all picked up in the past few days, and they are all fresh, and the price is only based on the previous price, you must be clear about it."

In the past, it cost half a penny to sell a piece, and only four pennies per catty. Zhang Xihua temporarily adjusted the price a little.

The man is the person in charge of buying in the restaurant, and he goes around the market every day. He obviously knows that Zhang Xihua is telling the truth. He can roughly tell whether the eggs are fresh or not just by looking at the color of the eggs, otherwise he will not stop. After asking, he said: "I said you are too expensive, and I will take all the four papers for you."

After Zhang Xihua hesitated, she deliberately refused: "The chickens in the house have been fed a lot of food. You can see that they are all fresh. They can last for ten days without waking up."

Eggs turn yellow when they wake up, and they are easy to go bad. You definitely don't want to buy this kind of product in restaurants.The man hesitated for a while, then squatted down and began to pick and choose in Zhang Xihua's basket. He checked out a few eggs that were pressed at the bottom and in the middle, and they were indeed fresh.

The man frowned, and said reluctantly: "I picked a few that are indeed fresh, but I don't have the time to check them one by one. I can't guarantee that you have unscrupulously put yellow eggs in them. That's it, I'll take them all." , you have to wipe off the odds for me."

Zhang Xihua wondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.She knew very well in her heart that even if it was priced at four pennies a catty, he would say this and find an excuse to erase the change, so she deliberately increased the price by one penny.

Zhang Xihua asked a chicken seller next to her to borrow a scale. The weight came out to be more than ten catties.

In the end, the change of four pennies was wiped off, and all the eggs were sold out.Zhang Xihua was very happy in her heart, because it was equivalent to selling it for four fen a catty, and finally made a few more fen.

Zhang Xihua thanked the aunt who was willing to borrow the name, and the aunt smiled and said, "You didn't lose money to him like this."

Zhang Xihua thought that she had made more money, but she didn't show it on her face, and nodded with a smile in agreement with the aunt's words.Others don't know that she has a more delicate mind when they look at the way she speaks in a gentle manner.

Her ideas are shrewd, but they are actually polished by a poor life.

After selling the untouchable eggs, Zhang Xihua felt light all over, and went to the embroidery shop. First, she sold out her mother-in-law's nets and sister-in-law's embroidered handkerchiefs.

Food prices are increasing, but these supplies have been reduced. Therefore, after Zhang Xihua sold out, she found that she was seven or eight cents less than usual, and she had to explain it to her mother-in-law later.

The people in the medicine store are already familiar with each other, so after the weighing, they just paid her the money.

After walking for a while and returning to the original place, her husband hadn't arrived yet. Zhang Xihua knew that sitting in the tea shop for a while and drinking a cup of rough tea would cost at least a penny, so she felt very reluctant, and she had brought water with her.So I chose a place not far from the tea shop to block the sun and stood waiting for him.

From time to time, pay attention to whether there is any shadow in the crowd.About half an hour later, Zhang Xihua finally saw her husband walking over alone, she walked over with a smile and asked, "He Lang, I didn't see my second uncle, where did he go?"

When He Sheng came to this street, he spotted his wife at a glance. When he approached, she also walked to him with a bright smile. Even though there were beads of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't hide her joy.He Sheng couldn't help but said, "Wipe off your sweat... why don't you go and sit in the tea shop and wait."

Zhang Xihua said with a guilty conscience: "No, I have been sitting in the tea shop, and I came out after I saw you coming."

After speaking, the smile on his face became even more guilty, so he obediently took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

He Sheng never thought of exposing her. He discovered her figure earlier than his wife, and he definitely stood by the side stupidly, and he didn't know how long he stood there.

"Shall we go home now?" Zhang Xihua asked in a low voice, then lowered her head and silently waited for her husband's arrangement.

When He Sheng saw his wife, who was so brilliant just now, he began to be gentle again, and suddenly felt a little distress in his chest, so he took her hand and said, "Second uncle is waiting for us at the gate of the city. There is nothing to buy."

This is quite normal, but it is He Sheng's own translated version.Uncle He's original words were: "Ah Sheng, it was so hard to bring my daughter-in-law into the county together. You have to spend more time with her to go shopping and buy her some favorite small things, so that the relationship between husband and wife can be harmonious." .”

Besides, it's only natural for a husband to treat his wife well.Uncle He was very good at pleasing Aunt He when he was young, and what he taught was half a lifetime of experience.If a woman is treated like this, it will take her whole life to treat you well.Absolutely no loss!
After Second Uncle He finished speaking earnestly, He Sheng reluctantly refused, he wished to wake up this wooden pile of He Sheng, he had never seen a more boring man than this kid.

Fortunately, He Sheng finally passed alone.Uncle He waited by the ox cart for the young couple, feeling very old and comforted.
