Chapter 533 Selling Eggs 6
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and now that the other person is speaking in a nice way, the two of them don't bother to talk too much.
Finally, it was Lu Chuan who spoke up and said, "It's okay. You are too kind."
After saying that, he planned to turn around and leave, not wanting to have any further involvement with them.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the steward hurriedly continued, "Do you have any salted duck eggs to sell? To be honest, the Wang family next door sent a few salted duck eggs to our old lady today. The old lady liked them as soon as she tasted them, and immediately asked me to buy some more. But I went there at an unfortunate time, and you two were not there.
As soon as I came back, I heard that the people below were not doing their job well and had offended you two.
I hope you two can put aside your past grudges and sell some salted duck eggs to our family."
The manager didn't want to beg a merchant in such a humble manner, but his master was a very filial son.
The old lady has had a poor appetite recently, and the master has been looking for all kinds of delicious food, but the old lady just tasted them and didn't say she liked any of them.
Well, finally the old lady thinks the salted duck eggs are delicious, so as a servant we must do our best to get the job done.
When Xu Han heard that there was business, she didn't care. "There are still some left. How much do you want?"
"Let's start with 300 salted duck eggs! There are many masters in the mansion, and if we buy too few, there won't be enough to share."
Lu Chuan said, "Yes, but we don't have a basket here. You need to bring a basket to hold the salted duck eggs."
"Okay, okay, this is easy." After the manager said this, he shouted directly into the yard, and immediately someone brought out a big basket.
Xu Han also did not forget to attract other business for herself, and asked directly, "Do you still need chicken eggs and goose eggs? We also have fresh duck eggs."
The manager didn't want to buy it at first, but when he thought about the good attitude of the two people just now, he thought it wouldn't hurt to help out.
Then he said, "Give me some too. 600 chicken eggs and 100 goose eggs. As for fresh duck eggs, forget it. The master doesn't like them. They are too fishy."
Xu Han didn't care that he didn't buy fresh duck eggs. After all, fresh duck eggs were really hard to sell. "Okay, I'll pack them for you right away."
The manager took the basket that Xu Han handed over, paid the money, and the people below moved the things in.
The couple did not stay long and continued to the next house. They kept walking around until dark and finally finished asking questions of all the families in the wealthy area.
After returning to the inn, both of them were so tired that they didn't want to move. Why did they suddenly feel that this was more tiring than working in the mountains? Was it just their illusion?
Xu Han lay motionless on the bed, allowing Lu Chuan to take off her shoes, and then she rolled over into the bed.
Lu Chuan said, "Let's rest for a while. We won't go out for dinner. Just ask the waiter to bring it up."
Xu Han sat up with a jerk when she heard this. "No, the food in the inn is not good. It's not good at all. I'm tired after a day's work. I have to have a good meal. Let's go out to eat later."
Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly. "Okay, okay, as long as you don't feel tired. Lie down for a while, I'll call you later."
"Yeah." Xu Han felt like she was about to fall asleep as she spoke.
After a while, Lu Chuan called her to get up, and the two went out to have dinner and came back.
After eating and drinking, Xu Han felt energetic again. She pulled Lu Chuan to sit at the table, and then took out all the money she had earned that day.
Copper coins and silver coins fell out with a clattering sound. Xu Han handed the rope to Lu Chuan, and the two sat down and began to count the money.
The couple counted for a long time, so long that Xu Han began to feel disgusted at how much money there was. Finally, they finished counting the money.
In fact, those who came to buy eggs were ordinary people, and they didn't buy much, so naturally they traded with copper coins. As a result, a lot of copper coins were collected in a day, and there was some small change, but it was only the wealthy families who bought more, and they were a minority.
"How many copper coins do you have?"
Lu Chuan lowered his head and counted the copper coins he had just strung together and said, "A total of 8 taels and 6 coins. How about you?"
"I have 6 taels and 2 cents here, and the two of us together make 8 taels and 4 cents, plus these small changes it's not a small amount. Today we've sold almost taels, and the cents short of taels is not a small amount either."
Lu Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is quite a lot. The main reason is that we sold a lot of salted duck eggs this afternoon. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sell much just by selling chicken eggs."
"Well, there are only a few salted duck eggs left. I guess I won't be able to sell them for so much money tomorrow."
"It's okay. We'll sell as many as we can. Besides, we've already sold eggs for a day. Almost everyone around here has sold eggs. We'll sell eggs for another day tomorrow, and then we'll go home the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go early tomorrow and try to sell more. We'll go shopping in the afternoon. We finally came to the capital, so we must buy everything we need before we go back."
"Okay, let's go to bed early."
After saying that, Xu Han put the money back into the space. After they quickly washed up, they went to rest.
On the second day, in the morning and at noon, they still went to the market to sell eggs. In the afternoon, Xu Han took Lu Chuan to go shopping.
After a bunch of shopping, I have bought almost everything for the house.
Xu Han said, "We've been using a lot of sugar lately. Why don't we buy some and take them back? Sugar in the city is much cheaper than in the county, so the more we can save, the better!"
Lu Chuan agreed and said, "Okay, there's a grocery store over there, let's go take a look."
The two began to raid the grocery store again, and after dark, they finally ended their busy day.
After dinner, Xu Han and Lu Chuan were calculating the money they had spent on their trip to the county town and the money they had earned from selling eggs.
Today's business was as expected. I only sold 30 taels and qian for the whole day. Together with yesterday's sales, the total was taels and qian.
In two days, I sold almost 20,000 eggs. In addition, the salted duck eggs in the house were completely used up, and a lot of goose eggs were also consumed.
This trip directly exceeded the expectations of both people. No one thought that they could sell so many eggs this time.
It seems that salted duck eggs are still very popular. After returning home, I must make all the remaining duck eggs into salted duck eggs so that I can sell them in time for the end of the year.
The eggs are almost sold out, so when I return to the county town, I don’t have to worry about how to sell the eggs.
There aren’t too many eggs in the space now, so they can be used when I open my own shop later.
So the two of them planned to go to the wealthy area only to inquire about the situation after returning to the county town, and sell as much as they could. If they couldn't sell all, they would not sell anything and return home on time the day after tomorrow.
I have been out for a few days now, and I don't know how things are going at home now? Is the autumn planting finished yet?
Although both of them are not at home, they are always concerned about the situation at home.
