Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy

Chapter 5: : Selling duck eggs in the county

Two people eat 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes, which would not last for a few days.

This year's new grain has not come down yet. When Dajun Xia comes back, he must find Liu Fen to go back, but will the Xia family forgive Xiaolan? Liu Fen was thinking about going back to her mother's house tomorrow to find a way. Liu's family was also poor, but Uncle Xia Xiaolan was poor and generous, and would never watch her niece starve to death.

Just thinking about it, Xia Xiaolan came back holding a bunch of dry branches with bright eyes and said that she would eat roasted sweet potatoes. Liu Fen sees her in good spirits, and she is willing to suffer no matter how hard she is:

"Okay, Mom will bake sweet potatoes for you."

However, Xia Xiaolan pushed aside the firewood, revealing the wild duck eggs.

Liu Fen was also very happy. The wild duck egg was about the same size as an egg, and it was found in the reed stilt. With this little duck egg, Xia Xiaolan can replenish her body. Now that the thin wind can blow it down, Liu Fen feels distressed.

"Boil you another duck egg."

There are no pots and pans in the old broken house, and the country folks dont pay attention to it. Xia Xiaolan stopped her mother: "Duck eggs can't be eaten now. Our good days fall on the wild duck eggs. Now the villagers are worried about the grain in the fields and have no time to cut the reeds. I want to find more wild duck eggs to get them. Sell it in the city...tonight we will go to the reeds, and it would be nice to be able to catch two wild ducks."

Liu Fen has never done such a thing.

The Xia family did not split up, and the eggs that she usually saved were all brought into the city by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to sell. Dahe Village takes two hours to walk to the county seat, and no one will go to the city if nothing happens. But Xia Xiaolan was eloquent, but Liu Fen couldn't speak to her daughter, and was accustomed to obedience, so she couldn't find anything to refute.

The mother and daughter each ate a sweet potato. Liu Fen thought that if he was going to sell duck eggs in the city, he would have at least two baskets. She ran outside and got some reed poles back. Liu Fen made two small baskets:

"Without tools or soaking in water, it will be broken if it takes less than a month."

Liu Fen pressed the reed basket with a stone and placed it in the river for soaking, quite disgusting with her own craftsmanship. Xia Xiaolan already thought it was a weaving handicraft, anyway, neither Xia Xiaolan would know this stuff!

The mother and daughter were going to be "egg thieves" at night, so they hurry to sleep after making up the basket. The door was unlocked and held with wood, and there was no bed in the house. Xia Xiaolan spread a clean reed pole on the ground. Fortunately, it's August, otherwise this old ruined house with air leakage would have to freeze people out of trouble.

There was no alarm clock, there was something in her heart, and she didn't sleep for long. Xia Xiaolan was awakened by the rustling sound. It turned out that Liu Fen had already retrieved the reed basket from the river.

"You'll sleep for a while, mom will find it first."

The reed leaves are so hot that they are cut on people, or the wild duck eggs are placed there, how can no one pick it up? This is a hard job. Liu Fen doesn't want her daughter to suffer. "Xia Xiaolan" was originally delicate and didn't do much farm work.

Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "Two of you will go together."

The two found it fast and safe. They didn't even have a flashlight, so they could only be in the moonlight. Fortunately, the moonlight tonight is great, and tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day again.

Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter carried the small baskets, looking for them in remote places as much as possible. Wild ducks were scared to fly when they touched the reeds, and finally touched the duck nest, which was empty.

When the first nest of eggs was found, the dogs in the cowshed were shocked.

The lonely old king watching the bullpen was very alert: "Who is there!"

The flashlight flicked twice, and Liu Fen blocked Xia Xiaolan behind him, very faceless: "...Uncle, it's me, picking up some duck eggs to make up for the child."

"The army's family?"

Lao Wang saw that the mother and daughter were covered in grass scraps.

Dahe Village knows about Xia Xiaolan being kicked out of the house, and the old man doesn't like Xia Xiaolan very much. Even if there is no style problem, this girl has no elders in her eyes, and she doesn't even scream. But Liu Fen was very pitiful. Xia Xiaolan's forehead was wrapped in **** gauze. Lao Wang thought for a while and handed Liu Fen the flashlight in his hand:

"Return me tomorrow."

Liu Fen's grateful eyes were red.

Xia Xiaolan thought, Dahe Village is not all a bastard, she is also very sincere:

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang."

Old Wang was a little surprised. He glanced at Xia Xiaolan, led the dog back to the cowshed, and no longer cared about the mother and daughter.

With the help of a flashlight, this wild duck nest suffered. The mother and daughter Xia Xiaolan walked for a few hours and picked up seventy or eighty wild duck eggs. They packed them in two reed baskets. Liu Fen was a little confused.

In addition to duck eggs, they also found a nest of ducklings that had hatched.

"You can feed it."

The hairs on her body are all grown, and Liu Fen is very happy.

Xia Xiaolan thought of the ruined house that guards against the gentleman but against the villain, and shook her head: "If you grow up, you can't say who is cheaper, and sell it together."

Liu Fen was a little bit reluctant.

However, both she and Xia Xiaolan had problems eating by themselves, and raising a few wild ducks was indeed too eye-catching.

The two went home and inspected the eggs one by one, plus the 12 that Xia Xiaolan had picked up before, and a total of 82 had not hatched. Can't wait for dawn, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen set off into the city together, and took out two sweet potatoes from the ashes, which were the rations of the mother and the wife.

Baked sweet potatoes, Xia Xiaolan's first meal was fresh and wild.

Eat two meals in a row, she was not happy in her heart. Fortunately, she had suffered a lot when she was a child, and she can still persist in this situation. If she wears a white, rich and beautiful dress, she will definitely be driven crazy on the first day.

Survive, survive in this era, and only hope for a better life!

With this faith, Xia Xiaolan headed down and rushed, and when she arrived at the county seat, it was already bright. Dahe Village is poor, but Qing'an County has a little economic foundation. There is a large meat factory and agricultural machinery factory in the county, which feed many workers. The cattle raised in the cattle shed in Dahe Village are to be sold to the meat joint factory.

Even the workers in the meat joint factory can catch some meat, but the eggs are not easy to buy. In the villages and towns below Anqing County, more pigs and cattle are raised, but less poultry.

"Where can I sell it?"

In the two big factories in Anqing County, where the workers are rich, the black market also revolves around these two factories. The efficiency of the meat joint factory is good, and the workers have money in their pockets. According to Liu Fen, it is better to sell them next to the meat joint factory.

Xia Xiaolan did the opposite:

"Let's go around outside the farm machinery factory."

There are many workers in the agricultural machinery factory, and Xia Xiaolan is more familiar with this kind of factory.

When I walked to the farm machinery factory, it was dawn. Workers in the factory were riding bicycles. Xia Xiaolan saw several people on the side of the road who were also holding things. They seemed to be peers... Its nice. Some people were holding chickens, and some people mentioned freshly dug sweet potatoes. Today, there are no egg sellers. Competitors.

As soon as I found a location, an aunt with a vegetable pocket came up:

"The eggs sold?"

Xia Xiaolan didn't try to be mystical, "It's wild duck eggs, all fresh. If you see it, they will be sold to you cheaper than eggs."

Wild duck eggs are the same size as eggs, and if they are cheaper than eggs, they are definitely a bargain. The taste is fine or tender, which is so much!

The market price of eggs costs 1.2 yuan per catty, and food stamps are also used. For eggs sold by farmers themselves, they cost 1.5 yuan if they dont need food stamps. Xia Xiaolan asked about it just now, with a mouth under her nose, and greeted people politely. Her mouth is a little sweeter, and no one is hiding the selling price as a secret book.

Seeing the aunt standing still, she was obviously tempted, and Xia Xiaolan knew in her heart:

"If you buy less than 10, you will be counted as a dime and three cents. If you buy more than 10, it will cost you a dime and two cents. If you buy more than 20, you will be a dime and a dime!"

Her step-by-step sales price made the aunt a bit embarrassed.

It's a **** to have a cheap price. I originally wanted to buy a few, but my aunt paid for 21... Aunt's life wisdom should not be underestimated. The cheap can be taken advantage of, and I didn't really lose my head.

Xia Xiaolan collected two yuan and wiped out the fraction of the penny.

She handed the money to Liu Fen, but Liu Fen never recovered. Several sellers around were also looking at Xia Xiaolan, this girl was so enchanting, she didn't expect to speak and do things very smoothly!
