There is a super high price of 1.5 yuan for ten eggs on the side for comparison. Customers who pay 2 yuan a pound for a rooster can also accept it.
In less than half an hour, dozens of roosters were sold out, leaving only the unsold eggs and the five goats in the car.
Lin Mai then picked up two goats from the tractor.
Immediately, a customer asked her: "Are you selling the goat whole?"
How could it be sold whole? No one would buy it whole.
Firstly, people in the city don't know how to kill sheep, and secondly, no one is willing to pay a large sum of money to buy a whole sheep, which is too luxurious.
Lin Mai smiled and replied: "No, kill now and sell now."
A man stared at the goat with salivation and asked: "How do you sell it?"
"Lamb legs cost five yuan per catty, mutton costs four yuan per catty, lamb liver costs three yuan per catty..."
Although the price is ridiculously expensive, I still want to buy it if I want to.
With the help of the tractor master, after the first sheep was slaughtered, in addition to the sheep blood and lungs, all the mutton was quickly sold out. Even the sheep heads and intestines were bought.
One was slaughtered and one was sold. After more than an hour, all five sheep were sold.
Even the eggs, which have not been selling well, were sold for almost 800 yuan compared with the price of mutton.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and she couldn't sell it any more. It would be dark if she sold it any longer, and the bad guys would attack her.
She had long noticed that there were at least seven or eight men of different kinds, not far or near, surrounding her. They were either thieves, pickpockets, or even robbers.
It was not easy for thieves and pickpockets to steal money from her. She kept all the money in a small cloth bag hanging on her chest.
Grandma Fang helped make this little cloth bag last night according to her request.
As soon as the business was over, she immediately stuffed the small cloth bag into her cotton-padded jacket and said to the tractor master: "Uncle, close the stall."
The tractor master was a little surprised: "These eggs are not for sale?"
"It's not that we won't sell it, but we can't sell it." Lin Mai put the large basin containing five sheep lungs on the tractor.
"The remaining eggs will be sent to the Women's Federation. The leaders will use these eggs to express condolences to the March 8th Red Flag Bearers and poor women tomorrow. We cannot delay important events."
Lin Mai lied so calmly that the tractor master could not tell the truth, so he and she loaded the sheep's blood and unsold eggs onto the tractor and drove off.
The robbers were so angry that they beat their chests but could do nothing. This fat sheep they liked was related to the government department, and they, the gangsters, did not dare to mess with it.
Lin Mai felt relieved when he saw that the bad guys didn't dare to follow him.
The tractor master asked: "How should the Women's Federation go?"
Lin Mai smiled and shook his head: "I don't know how the Women's Federation can go. I just said that to scare bad people."
She originally wanted to say that she was going to deliver eggs to the Public Security Bureau, but she was afraid that if she lied too much, it would be self-defeating and make those bad guys suspicious.
So I changed it to the Women's Federation when it came to my mouth, which sounded more credible.
The tractor master was stunned: "Are there any bad guys? I'm just paying attention to see if any law enforcement teams show up~"
——What to do with your unsold eggs?”
More than a thousand eggs were purchased for 5 cents each, and the cost was about 60 yuan. It was quite a sum of money, and he felt sorry for Lin Mai just to spend such a large amount of money on his hands.
Linmai has already made arrangements to sell these eggs for half a day tomorrow. If they are still not sold out, they will sell boiled and braised eggs after the new year.
You can still sell boiled braised eggs for a dime each, but the profit is very thin, but it is better than losing money or not making any money at all.
So he said: "Send it to my residence in the city and sell it tomorrow."
The tractor master was a little surprised: "It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, and there are still people going out to buy new year's goods?"
"I'm not sure whether anyone will be selling New Year's goods tomorrow, but I'm sure the security enforcement team won't drive away the vendors tomorrow.
If no one comes to the black market tomorrow to buy New Year’s goods, we can sell them in busy areas.”
The reason Lin Mai dared to make such a judgment was because she had never encountered a public security law enforcement team while setting up a stall in the city for such a long time.
Although the main reason is that there are not many small vendors setting up stalls on the streets, the public security law enforcement team still let these small vendors go after entering the twelfth lunar month.
The tractor master saw today how popular the Linmai business is and how easy it is to make money.
Hearing Lin Mai say that she would still be doing business tomorrow, she felt excited and wanted to resell agricultural products for half a day tomorrow.
He asked tentatively: "Can I work with you to sell chickens tomorrow?"
He didn't want to sell the eggs anymore, he couldn't sell them at all.
But selling chickens can earn at least 80 cents per catty, and the profit is astonishing. Even if he only sells a hundred chickens, he can still make a net profit of about 100 yuan.
Lin Mai said: "It's not necessary to be a partner, it's okay to be a companion. We can each set up our own stalls and earn our own money, so there won't be any conflicts of interest.
If there is no conflict of interests, there will be no blushing. We just need to take care of each other."
She is used to working alone and does not like to work with others. She is only used to hiring assistants.
Partnering up meant dividing the money she earned among others, which she didn't want to do.
Everyone earns money based on their abilities, and it is fair to everyone.
Although he was rejected by Lin Mai, the tractor master was not angry. He was satisfied that he was willing to take him to do business.
"Okay, I'll collect five hundred chickens when I get back tonight and sell them with you tomorrow."
Lin Mai was silent and said: "We can only take two hundred chickens at most. If we take too many, we might not be able to sell them all in the morning. After all, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we can only do business for half a day."
The tractor master asked: "How many chickens are you going to buy?"
Lin Mai understood that he suspected that he was deliberately preventing him from purchasing more chickens: "I only plan to purchase about two hundred chickens."
When they arrived at Sanyang Village, they sent the eggs home and then drove the tractor to the countryside.
Passing a state-owned snack bar, Lin Mai asked the tractor master to stop the truck.
The two entered the state-owned snack bar, and Lin Mai bought two bowls of noodle soup and a few steamed buns for their dinner.
Lin Mai was already very full after just one bowl of noodle soup, and she didn't eat any of the steamed buns.
The tractor master is reluctant to eat it.
After finishing the noodle soup, he asked Lin Mai if he wanted to eat steamed buns.
When she said she didn't want to eat, she put a few buns into her pocket and prepared to take them back to the children.
Lin Mai didn't say anything when he saw it. He remembered the Doudou left at Grandma Fang's house and bought some meat buns for her and the second elder.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that the two returned to the town.
It was only then that Lin Mai paid the tractor master his wages for the day.
Although the price negotiated before was ten yuan for labor, the tractor master had helped for a whole day, so he could not calculate the labor for half a day.
In addition, he helped to kill the sheep, so the wages had to be paid to him.
Lin Mai never wanted to call someone in vain, so he gave him three Great Unity cards.
The tractor uncle was very happy to get thirty yuan. The money came so easily!
When Lin Mai returned to Grandma Fang's house, not only did the two old people not sleep, but even Doudou didn't sleep either.
When Little Douding saw her, he rushed up to hug her legs, raised his little face and called her mother, asking for a hug.
Lin Mai was exhausted and had no strength to hold her. He took out the meat buns he bought and asked her to put them next to the brazier to roast them and eat them with Grandpa Fang and his wife.
Doudou put all the steamed buns on the dining table and poured her some water.
