Chapter 4 How much is a pound of eggs?
Passing by the market, Wang Lin took out a stack of unity and handed it to Li Wenxiu: "Take this money and go buy some vegetables to cook at home."
"Where did you get the money?" Li Wenxiu asked, not accepting the money.
"You won it!" Wang Lin chuckled, "Win and get bonuses, a total of five hundred yuan!"
"Did they really give you money? I thought they were joking!" Li Wenxiu also showed a rare smile.
This was the first time she smiled in front of Wang Lin, and it was as beautiful as a rose blooming.
Wang Lin has seen beautiful women before, but at this moment he was still attracted by her natural face, without makeup, filters, or beautification.
He pushed the money into her hand: "You can take the flowers! Although there is a pre-divorce agreement, you have promised to help me with housework, and I have to support you, right? I can't let you work in my house for nothing.
Right? You buy the groceries and go home first, I have something else to do."
"Are you going to drink again?" The smile on Li Wenxiu's face disappeared immediately.
"Haha, aren't you going to get a divorce? Do you care about me?" Wang Lin laughed.
"You, you came back drunk and you wanted to hit me again——"
"Don't worry, I won't hit you. I'm not going to drink either. I'll cut off all those fair-weather friends in the past! By the way, remember to pay back the money for the fried dough sticks from Uncle Chen's house." Wang Lin smiled, turned the faucet, and went
Ride across the street.
Li Wenxiu counted the money, it was ten Unity cards!
She held the hundred yuan in her hand and looked at his retreating back, unable to describe how she felt.
Wang Lin came to the state-owned grocery store.
It's not closed yet!
"Comrade, are there any eggs for sale?" Wang Lin asked.
"Isn't that all!" The salesperson was a little girl. She drew a circle around the place where the eggs were placed with her hand and asked with a smile, "How many kilograms do you want to buy?"
"How much does it cost per pound?"
"One dollar and fifty cents per catty!"
"How many kilograms can I buy for four hundred yuan?"
"What?" The salesperson's eyes widened in surprise, "Comrade, how much do you want to buy?"
"Four hundred yuan! Bought them all!" Wang Lin took out four hundred yuan, put a thick stack of dough, and slapped it on the glass counter, which made the glass cabinet rattle. "Aren't the non-staple foods in our city already gone?
Have you liberalized prices and opened up supply? There are no restrictions on purchase quantity, right?"
Only then did the salesperson believe that this man was not here to tease the little girl. He said seriously: "Comrade, the retail price of eggs is one yuan and fifty cents per catty. Because the Chinese New Year has just passed, the price is not cheap now. You bought so many
, I can’t finish all the food at home, so why not buy a few kilograms first, and wait for a while, when the price of eggs drops, you can buy them again.”
"I'm useful." Wang Lin said, "Just buy this much."
"Are you a buyer for a food factory? No, the food factory purchases goods from the farm itself! Seeing that you are wearing the work clothes of a textile factory, you must be a worker, right? Do you want to buy it for the canteen in your factory?"
Wang Lin smiled and said nothing, maintaining a certain degree of mystery.
The salesperson did a quick mental calculation and said: "Comrade, for 400 yuan, you can buy 266.7 kilograms."
"Okay, can we deliver the goods?" Wang Lin asked.
"Is it far?"
"Not far away, just at the textile factory's family building."
"Okay, just wait a moment. I'll tell the director and ask him to arrange a car to send you there."
"Comrade, please tell your director again to prepare more eggs tomorrow. I want more."
"How much more do you want?"
"Two thousand yuan!"
"2,000 yuan? That's 1,333 kilograms!" The salesperson calculated very quickly. He didn't even need to pull the abacus and reported the number directly.
"Yes, I was afraid that you didn't have so much inventory, so that's why I didn't bring so much money today."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to report to the director now."
The salesperson went in for a while and then came out and said, "Our director is not here. I told the people in the warehouse that they will send a car to deliver it to your door now."
"Then you remember to report to your director that I want eggs worth 2,000 yuan tomorrow."
"Okay, I can't forget it. We all buy goods at night, and the goods don't arrive in the city until early in the morning. We just call the farm and tell them to prepare an extra cart of eggs for the city."
"Thank you, comrade!" Wang Lin nodded.
After a while, Wang Lin led the way on a bicycle and took more than two hundred kilograms of fresh eggs with a delivery man from the grocery store to the downstairs of his house.
Wang Lin handed a cigarette to the driver: "Master, do me a favor and help me move to the second floor."
"Okay!" The driver, a young man in his thirties, readily agreed.
Wang Lin carried a box of eggs home.
The aroma of cooking dishes from various restaurants can be heard in the aisles, including spicy fried pork with chili peppers and fragrant mushroom stewed chicken.
Aunt Chen was cooking when she saw Wang Lin coming over with a big box in his arms and asked, "What did you buy here?"
"egg!"
"Hey! You just got married, what big wedding are you going to do? Are you going to do so many things?"
"Haha!" Wang Lin smiled but said nothing.
As soon as he walked to the door of his house, Wang Lin suddenly heard a scream coming from inside the house.
Li Wenxiu shouted in horror: "What are you doing? Don't touch me!"
The door was ajar. Wang Lin kicked it open with his foot and saw a man smiling playfully at Li Wenxiu. Li Wenxiu had a look of panic and disgust on his face. He was holding a vegetable spoon in his hand and gesticulating in the air to prevent the man from getting closer.
This man is none other than Wang Lin’s former fair-weather friend Liu Kun. He is a fat-headed noodle-maker, a man who eats, drinks, whores and gambles. He is known as Liang Kun on the street!
Wang Lin knew what was going on with just one glance, and sneered heavily.
When Li Wenxiu saw him coming back, she immediately ran to him: "Wang Lin, he wants to bully me!"
Liu Kun touched his face, calmed down his expression, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Wang Lin, I'm your best buddy, and I even invited you to play in the Sisters' Dance Hall! You won't believe what a girl says, no.
Believe me, right? I'm here to ask you to go out for a drink! I just talked about life and ideals with my younger siblings!"
Wang Lin put down the egg box, walked up to Liu Kun, grabbed his neck, stared at him, suddenly raised his leg, and pressed hard against his stomach. He pressed his body down with both hands at the same time.
Bang!
It hit hard!
How could Liu Kun have thought that Wang Lin, a boy, would fall out at any time? He would be so ruthless!
His stomach cramped in pain, his stomach was churning, his tongue hung out half an inch, and he couldn't say a word for a long while.
If you hit a snake, you will be killed; if you hit a person, you will be hurt!
Wang Lin didn't want to let him go so easily, so he put his arm around his neck, pushed hard against the wall, kicked him hard in the lower abdomen, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing, you're impatient?"
Right? I, Wang Lin’s woman, do you dare to make any plans? Liangkun, don’t let me see you again! Beat me every time I see you! Get out of here!”
After saying that, he grabbed Liu Kun's neck, pushed him out, and kicked him on the butt.
Liu Kun jumped forward and fell to the ground, knocking his teeth!
He got up, spit out a mouthful of bloody sputum, and looked at Wang Lin with fear and resentment: "Okay, you dare to hit me! You, you..."
Wang Lin raised his eyebrows and took a step forward, preparing to kick him again.
Sun Kun stepped back in shock, and ran out of the door without even having time to say a word.
Li Wenxiu hid aside tremblingly, watching Wang Lin beat Liu Kun away.
She looked at her husband again as if he didn't recognize him.
Is this person really the uneducated second-rate Wang Lin? The Wang Lin who drinks and plays cards with Liu Kun and his ilk all day long and calls them brothers?
At this time, the driver had already brought up the remaining eggs, stretched out his thumb, and said with a grin: "Brother, you are a man! This kind of second-rate guy should be taught a lesson!"
Wang Lin handed him another cigarette: "Thank you, master!"
The driver waved his hand and went downstairs.
There are 300 eggs in a carton, which is about 36 pounds.
266.7 pounds of eggs, seven and a half boxes!
The boxes were neatly stacked in the living room, taking up most of the limited space.
After Li Wenxiu calmed down, he was shocked by these large boxes of things: "Wang Lin, what are these?"
"egg."
"Hey! Why did you buy so many eggs?"
Wang Lin smiled and said: "These days, the house will be more crowded, and your room will be filled with boxes. Do you mind?"
"You haven't told me yet, why did you buy so many eggs? All the four hundred yuan you had with you were spent?"
"Well, it's all here!" Wang Lin patted the egg box gently.
Li Wenxiu swayed and almost lost his balance: "What are you going to do? Four hundred yuan! Do you know how useful it can be? You bought all the eggs? Are you going to sell tea eggs?"
"Selling tea eggs? Haha, no!"
"Although it's winter now, these eggs won't last long!"
"It doesn't take long, it can be kept fresh for ten days and a half."
"Then what?"
"Don't worry, you will know when the time comes!"
"..."
What happened to this man?
It’s true that he stopped playing cards and drinking, and even changed his temper to beat women instead of men. However, it’s not normal to spend so much money and spend so much money!
