Li Rong's eyes suddenly lit up: "I can provide you with eggs. The village will definitely receive hundreds of eggs in a period of time."
While she was in confinement, Zhao Qingsong killed a chicken a day, which almost made her vomit.
After finally giving birth, Li Rong no longer wanted to drink chicken soup.
But she had to replenish herself, so Zhao Qingsong tried to find a way to get her all kinds of eggs to eat.
Brown sugar eggs, egg custard, etc.
The eggs are collected from the aunts in the commune.
Someone in the family needed to replenish their health, and it was not uncommon to exchange eggs for brown sugar in the village, so no one said anything even when Zhao Qingsong collected eggs in the village with great fanfare.
After all, he has a "lazy wife" and a child at home.
One time, Aunt Liu came to deliver eggs and said to Li Rong: "Your second brother collected eggs with us, and we actually saved some money. It's a pity that you don't eat them often. Maybe you won't need them after a while."
Hey, hey, it would be great if the eggs could be sold."
Li Rong shouted in her heart: Of course eggs can be sold, there are many people selling eggs in the 'free market'.
But she also knew that even if she said so, they would not dare to sell it in the 'free market'.
But what if Li Rong collects eggs in the village and sells them?
It was also possible for her to collect the eggs and sell them in the 'free market', but An An was still young at the time and Li Rong couldn't bear to keep him at home and couldn't take him out, so the idea was shelved.
However, Wu Zhigang's words today gave her new ideas.
She collected the eggs and supplied them to the steel factory.
There is no need to go to the "free market" to sell it.
While doing business well, you can also take care of your family.
But she was not sure that besides Aunt Liu, there were also those who had extra eggs at home and were willing to exchange them for money.
Wu Zhigang raised his eyebrows, a little excited: "Can you receive the eggs?"
"We have to go back and understand this matter," Li Rong said without saying, "I'll go back to the village and have a look, and then I'll write you a reply."
"Okay, I'll take as much as you receive."
After Li Rong returned to the village, she began to "research" in the village.
Of course, this is not blatant inquiry.
Instead, I took advantage of the good weather and walked around the village with the little one in my arms. I saw the aunts and ladies of the commune members hanging out at the entrance of the village, chatting together.
Aunt Liu was holding the cotton thread and chatting lively inside.
Li Rong hugged the little guy and walked over.
Join the gossip team.
The little guy is chubby and has aroused a lot of favor among the aunts. He occasionally makes some noise and attracts attention.
"Oh, this baby is really good. He doesn't fuss or pee."
Li Rong smiled and said nothing. She changed the little guy's diaper before going out and fed him well. She didn't want to open her clothes to breastfeed in front of so many people.
How embarrassing.
The club members praised Li Rong for her good complexion. After giving birth to a baby, her face did not look haggard, but she looked younger.
I would like to ask which person in the village who has given birth to a baby does not look several years older?
But when you think about Li Rong not having to work, and the man at home having children, you can understand.
Li Rong grabbed the little guy's hand and teased him, pretending to be casual and asked: "Aunts, do you have more eggs at home?"
"What's wrong? You want eggs again?"
Li Rong responded vaguely: "I plan to collect more this time. If the aunts have more, they can give them to me. The little guy eats egg custard and scrap eggs. My sister-in-law is also pregnant at home. She especially likes to eat soil from the countryside.
egg."
"How much do you want, Li Zhiqing?" Aunt Liu couldn't help but asked first. She still had some eggs saved at home.
Li Rong smiled with satisfaction, this Aunt Liu was really on the right track.
"When I was pregnant, a lot of things were sent to my family. Now that my sister-in-law wants to eat eggs, I plan to send them more." Li Rong said casually.
She also said: "Didn't Zhao Qingsong charge you three cents an egg before? I'll give you five cents an egg this time. If you have any, please give it to me even more."
Five cents an egg!
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of the club members dilated.
Can eggs be sold for five cents?
"Li Zhiqing, are you kidding me?"
Eggs laid at home are generally not very big, with about eight to ten eggs per pound.
The price at the supply and marketing cooperative is 55 to 60 cents per pound, and you have to add invoices.
The eggs in the "free market" are sold at double the price, no tickets are required, and the price is about 1.21 pounds.
According to what the members know, the price of eggs in the supply and marketing cooperative is about five or six cents an egg.
They never thought that if they distributed the eggs, they could get so much money back.
An egg costs five cents, and two eggs cost ten cents.
A member of the commune whose chickens lay several eggs a day was very excited.
Aunt Xu came over and said to Li Rong: "I have a lot of eggs at home, Li Zhiqing, can you really give me five cents an egg?"
Aunt Xu has five or six sons, all of whom are married. As a large family, the number of chickens to be raised is decided based on the population. Their family has quite a few chickens.
When people in the village raise chickens, they usually choose hens.
Hens can lay eggs.
"Really, as long as the eggs are of good quality, I'll accept them. Aunt Xu, feel free to take them over."
The price Li Rong offered was two cents more than what Zhao Qingsong had charged before. The aunts wished their chickens could lay eggs every day, preferably two per chicken.
The members have different ideas.
Li Rong finally agreed with them on a time to collect the eggs, then excused the little one to poop his pants and walked away slowly.
As soon as she left, an aunt who had been silent said, "I always feel that something is wrong with Li Zhiqing. How could anyone collect so many eggs?"
Aunt Xu looked at her disapprovingly: "What's wrong? Didn't you hear that Li Zhiqing just said that he was sending it to his sister-in-law at home? I know how to be grateful."
"But it's too much. How can we get so much?"
"Didn't you see that child just now? He looks so strong. I don't know how many eggs he was fed. Besides, Li Zhiqing also ate it himself."
Aunt Liu put away the cotton thread and said, "Anyway, I want to exchange it for money. My family is reluctant to eat it. How about changing it for money?"
Li Rong returned home, put the little one in his crib, and prepared to cook.
As soon as I let go of my hand, I heard a "pop" sound.
Immediately, a strange smell appeared in the air.
Li Rong thought to herself, it's broken.
This little guy did it without saying hello.
Li Rong held the little guy's hand with one hand and took off his pants with the other. Sure enough, there were yellow and orange patches inside.
Li Rong said "ouch", endured the smell, washed the little guy's buttocks with warm water, and put on clean pants.
She hugged An An and took a deep breath, then reached out and patted An An's butt: "Next time you poop like that, mommy will beat you."
"Gulu~Guru~Puff~Hahaha." An An stared at Li Rong's legs with her little feet, spitting bubbles and smiling.
It's so cute that you can't even get angry.
Li Rong couldn't help but hold him and rub him for a long time, teaching him how to speak: "Call mom~"
"m~ah"
"It's mom~" Li Rong came close to him and slowly mouthed the words to show the little one.
