Chapter 51 Wait another half an hour
Wei Caixia works in Zhongzhou Food Factory, and her husband works in the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau. They are both very popular units at the moment. The family's financial situation is good. Nowadays, the house is divided by the unit, and the children's education does not cost much. There are such people.
ability to pursue quality of life.
So when she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and saw Hy-Line eggs, she made a note of it. She went to the vegetable market early this morning and after squeezing for a long time, she finally bought five kilograms of eggs.
There was actually plenty of time for her to go home after buying the eggs, but instead of going back, she carried the eggs to her work unit.
"Hey, Caixia, are you going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables?" When she walked to the door of the unit, she met Gao Xiaoqin, a colleague from the finance office.
Upon hearing this, Wei Caixia was so happy that she quickly took out two Hy-Line eggs and showed them to her, "Yeah, I bought five kilograms of American eggs! Look at this head, it's bigger than our local eggs!"
The four words "American Egg" were accented, and now even other colleagues passing by came over curiously and stared at the two brown eggs.
"Hey, this one must have one or two more, right?"
"One is one or two, twelve is exactly one and a half pounds!"
"Is it expensive?"
"It's only two yuan a pound!" Wei Caixia ignored the two cents, "It's much more expensive than other eggs. I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, so I reluctantly bought some to try something new."
"That's really expensive. The local eggs I bought the day before yesterday only cost one yuan and eighty one catty!"
"Hey, that's cruel to put on me. Both you and Brother Qingqing have high salaries, so you'll just eat the two-yuan eggs!" Wei Caixia's husband's name is Liu Qingxing.
I love hearing this. Next time you come to the finance office to claim your reimbursement, I will do it for you faster! Wei Caixia laughed so hard that she felt even more enjoyable than drinking the ice-cold Locomotive soda produced in her own factory on a hot day.
.
"Where did you buy it? I'll buy some when I get off work later!" Some people were angry. I get about the same salary as you, so why can you eat American eggs?
"It's in the vegetable market, the stall at the back of the second row as soon as you enter! But it's sold out early in the morning, so I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it when you get off work!" No matter how capable you are, you still have to wait until you want to eat American eggs.
I'll go tomorrow. I won't be able to eat anything today!
"Oh, that's the one! Last time I went shopping for groceries, I saw a sign on their stall saying that there were still seven days until Hy-Line eggs would go on sale in the United States!" Someone remembered.
More and more people were blocking the door of the food factory, all wanting to see what American eggs looked like. It wasn't until the bell rang that everyone reluctantly dispersed.
Back in their respective workshops and offices, the news that Wei Caixia bought American eggs today quickly spread throughout the factory, and everyone at the top and bottom knew about it.
Now Wei Caixia's office has become more lively than the vegetable market. Anyone who can spare time comes to the finance room to watch the excitement.
"Are these American eggs? They look different! Look at the color and the head. You can tell at a glance that they are better than the eggs we usually buy!"
"How come it costs two yuan a pound!"
Everyone stopped working and just gathered around the desk, staring at the eggs on the table, marveling at them. Some people wanted to touch them but were a little afraid to touch them.
"Here, take it and try it." Isn't that why Wei Caixia got up so early and spent such a high price to buy eggs? She immediately picked up the eggs and handed them over to let them take a closer look.
The colleague carefully took the egg, holding it in one hand and holding it on with the other hand, for fear that the egg would fall to the ground and break.
Many people secretly curled their lips, saying, "It's only two yuan a pound," as if no one can afford it. Tomorrow I'll get up early and go to the vegetable market to queue up. I don't believe I can't buy it.
Haha, so what if I can buy it? Isn’t it too late? I’m the first one in our factory to eat American eggs. Wei Caixia sneered in her heart, she guessed what these people were thinking.
This is similar to the launch of the latest Apple mobile phone in later generations. For some people, it is only worth showing off if they get it on the first day. If they get it later than others, even just one day later, they will lose a lot of confidence in showing off.
Most of it.
"Ahem, what are you doing? You don't have to work, right?" A cough interrupted the excitement in the finance room, and the director of the food factory appeared at the door.
The office that had been bustling just now suddenly became quiet. People in other offices and workshops immediately left with their heads shrunk and dejectedly.
When everyone was almost gone, the factory director greeted, "Caixia, come to my office!"
Wei Caifeng responded and hurried over. She secretly looked at the factory director's drooping face and felt uneasy. Was he going to be scolded this time?
When we arrived at his office, the factory director immediately became amiable and said, "Caixia, I heard that you bought some American eggs today? I wonder if these eggs are good for making chicken cakes?"
Wei Caixia immediately understood, "Director, you are still concerned about the development of our factory! When I saw these American eggs, I just thought about whether they taste good or not. How is the taste different from our local eggs? Is it possible to think of getting it like you do?
To produce chicken cakes?”
"I'll give you two kilograms right now, and you can study it slowly!" Wei Caixia still doesn't know what the factory director means? He is just greedy and wants to eat, but is too embarrassed to speak directly.
"Okay, how much did you pay for it, and I will reimburse you! Just treat it like buying samples for the factory!" The factory director has a great heart, and he likes such smart and sensible subordinates.
Bah, look at how stingy you are, you are reluctant to pay four yuan yourself. Wei Caixia complained in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she complimented you a few more times and went back to deliver the eggs.
After returning home from get off work in the evening, Wei Caixia carried the eggs back to the family building of the Foreign Trade Bureau. Before she entered the door, she raised the eggs to the most conspicuous angle. When chatting with others, she would also carry a handful from time to time.
Finally, a neighbor's attention was attracted, "Caixia, where did you buy these eggs? Why are they so big?"
Wei Caixia immediately beamed, "These are the American eggs mentioned in the newspaper, they are bigger than our local eggs!"
"American eggs? They must be very expensive?" These four words caused another exclamation.
Then the scene at the door of the food factory in the morning was repeated again. Soon, everyone in the yard knew that Wei Caixia was going to eat American eggs tonight!
Wei Caixia couldn't bear to go home now, so she was talking happily downstairs about how she bought eggs.
Liu Qingqing's son looked down eagerly on the balcony, "Dad, I'm hungry. When will mom come back to cook?"
Chapter completed!
