If it weren't for Xia Qiyue's generosity and paying the bills for the two old people, she wouldn't have been willing to sell her eggs. She raised her own chickens. Wouldn't it be nice to keep the eggs for her children to nourish their health?
"Is that so... Sister, I would like to ask, if I want to buy more eggs, where can I buy them?" Xia Qiyue further asked.
The landlady was quite talkative. While cleaning the table, she chatted with Xia Qiyue, "You have to go to the market to try your luck. Most women in the countryside raise chickens and sell their eggs at the market. If you want to buy them,
If there are more, you have to find a few people to buy them!"
Xia Qiyue also learned from the conversation of the landlady that most of the eggs were bought from farmers at the market. Some of them might sell ten eggs, and some might sell more than twenty or thirty eggs.
I had to replace the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and each household doesn’t raise many, so if you buy more at one time, you have to find a few egg sellers, and the grocery stores sometimes have them in stock and sometimes they don’t.
If those people couldn't sell them at the market, they wouldn't have sent them to the grocery store. Because the grocery store also has to make a profit, the price for collecting eggs is much lower.
After a lot of work, the eggs became a hot commodity. Xia Qiyue came up with a plan and asked the proprietress, "Sister, if you want to set up a stall to sell things in the market, do you have to pay any stall fees?"
Something like that?”
The landlady hesitated a little at this, and looked at Xia Qiyue curiously and warily, "Sister, what do you want to sell?"
This was because she was afraid that she would become her enemy and steal her business. Xia Qiyue quickly explained, "Isn't that right? My sister-in-law is very good at craftsmanship. She made some pastries and so on, and she wants to sell them to get some money..."
The landlady didn't believe it because she had preconceived notions that Xia Qiyue and the others were victims of the famine, and she was still suspicious even if Xia Qiyue took out a handful of money.
However, after being in business for so long, even if it is just a wonton stall, the proprietress is still a good person. Seeing that the other party has no influence on her, she will not dig deeper and answer her questions quickly.
"What stall fee does it cost to sell some of my own gadgets at the market? It's not necessary!"
After getting what she wanted to know, Xia Qiyue's mood immediately improved, and she felt like she could see the moonlight after clearing the clouds.
She originally wanted to sell the eggs to the grocery store, but it seems that she can't do it now. The grocery store is just a one-time sale. If the people in Shanbei Zhuangzi don't leave in the next few days, she can rent a house and cook tea eggs to sell.
One sale.
It's delicious and not expensive, so it must be very popular, and eggs are also in short supply, so these eggs in her hands will definitely sell well.
The wontons were so hot that the two children were afraid of burning their mouths. They puffed their little mouths for a while before they dared to eat one. After eating it, they immediately looked like they were enjoying themselves.
The delicious meat filling is wrapped in a crystal clear thin skin. The delicious flavor of the wonton soup brings the smooth and tender wontons from the mouth to the throat, and then slides into the stomach with a warm feeling.
, what a enjoyment it is on this slightly cool morning.
In the end, the few people ate so much that the two little ones couldn't finish it, and the rest went into Xia Xinghe's stomach.
The two sisters almost finished the bowl of wontons, leaving no soup left.
Satisfied, he stood up and was about to leave, but saw that the two old men at the next table had already stood up. Next to them, a red-faced and panting young man was walking towards them holding a copper plate.
Xia Qiyue didn't refuse to ask for the fourteen copper coins. She couldn't help but help, but she wouldn't take it away when it was her turn.
You can't be too holy in this world, otherwise it will be bad if you get into trouble.
After accepting a bunch of thanks, Xia Qiyue set off for today's goal.
First of all, if she wants to boil tea eggs for sale, she must have a temporary place to stay. She must cook the tea eggs in the temporary place before selling them.
She inquired in many places and finally found out that when renting an apartment, she needed to find a dental clinic.
After finding the house with four people in a hurry, they told her that the house must be rented for more than one month and would not be rented to her for seven days.
She had no choice but to leave, so she decided to rent it for a month.
I followed the people from Yahang to several houses, and finally rented a house with one entrance not too far from the market.
Although the yard also has two wing rooms, the east and the west, as well as a kitchen and a latrine, it is already very old and there is not much in the house.
What Xia Qiyue likes most is the big iron pot in the kitchen.
One stove, two pots, and a place for firewood for cakes, which made her particularly satisfied. Anyway, in order to hide her eyes from others, she still went to sleep in the shed set up by the town at night, but she wanted to boil tea eggs, and this big pot was the best
It really comes in handy.
I negotiated the price with the tooth shop for a while, and finally rented the yard for a month at a high price of 800 yuan.
After paying the money and getting the key, Xia Jiuyue and her two children ran around excitedly, busy packing up.
"In September, just clean up the main house and the kitchen. I won't sleep here at night, so I don't have to work hard to clean up so much! I will go out to buy some things when I come back later, and I will buy bedding and put it on the ground. Xuan'er and Ke'er will also have a place to stay during the day.
!”
Xia Qiyue always only listened to her sister's words. When Xia Qiyue said this, she immediately followed it and stopped working blindly.
Xia Xinghe remained silent, looking a little confused at what his eldest sister was doing.
I rent a house, but I don’t want to sleep here at night, so why do I rent this house?
But his eldest sister immediately gave him the answer, "Xinghe, you and your eldest sister go to the street to buy some firewood and come back. We are going to do business!"
"Sister, why do you need firewood for business?" Xia Xinghe's innocent look made Xia Qiyue worried.
"Boil tea eggs and sell them! You don't understand yet, but just follow the eldest sister's footsteps! It's September, you are at home looking after your two children, don't open the door if anyone knocks on the door!"
Xia Qiyue was in a hurry. Renting a house had delayed a lot of time. It would be lunch time in another hour. She had to boil the tea eggs and sell them during lunch time.
After giving instructions, my sister took her brother out. She had a lot to buy, including seasonings such as pepper and star anise.
When going to the grocery store, she had to go to the drug store, the tea shop, and buy firewood. She was so busy buying soy sauce that she felt dizzy.
I passed by Rouge Shop and went in to buy a lot of things.
She knew that her sister was right to worry. If the old Xia family was really here, she wouldn't be afraid, but it would be troublesome to get entangled, so she had to dress up in disguise when she went out to sell tea eggs later.
It took her a lot of effort to buy the seasonings she needed from the drug store.
Because she didn’t know what ancient people said about some things, so she could only describe, guess, and read.
Fortunately, the waiter at the drug store has a good temper, otherwise he would have dared to let her go out.
However, she bought a lot of them because she didn't need them all now and would use them later.
When I finally returned home, there were four woodcutters carrying firewood behind me.
When I got home, I gave the money for firewood, and directly made an order with four woodcutter for five days of firewood. I agreed to deliver firewood every morning. After sending the woodcutter away, I started cooking tea eggs.
