After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 226 I Want an Egg Too

With a question mark on his face, Qiu Jun followed the others to line up. He was squeezed in by others and was queued relatively close to the front.

Soon it was his turn, but he still didn't understand what was going on.

Qiu Jun looked at Lan Xin in front of him with a confused look on his face. Lan Xin looked down at the list and asked, "What was your name when you registered when you bought groceries yesterday? Which building do you live in?"

"Qiu Jun, from Building 2." Qiu Jun foolishly gave his name.

"Building 2..." Lan Xin kept repeating the name while searching on the list. She searched twice but couldn't find the name.

She raised her head and asked helplessly, "I didn't find your name. Are you sure you ordered the groceries under this name yesterday? Did you confirm the payment and signature?"

Jiang Hongxia, who was picking up vegetables at the side, looked up and said speechlessly: "Qiu Jun, are you mentally ill? It was your wife who bought the vegetables yesterday, and if you want to report a name, it should be your wife's name."

"Lan Xin, go find Zhang Chunhong!" Jiang Hongxia turned and said to Lan Xin.

When she heard her name, Zhang Chunhong immediately poked her head out of the line, and was even more speechless when she saw that it was Qiu Jun. "Qiu Jun, how did you get to the front of the line? You didn't even tell me that you got to the front of the line."

Their family only bought one dish, so one person was enough to queue. If she had known that Qiu Jun was queuing, she would not have continued to queue.

Just now when leaving the family compound, Zhang Chunhong had her heel stepped on. She pulled the heel of her shoe while cursing, which resulted in her being the last in line because she arrived late.

Seeing Qiu Jun now, she was even angrier. She was so unlucky this morning, all because of Qiu Jun.

Thinking of this, she didn't queue up and walked straight up. When she saw the dishes that Jiang Hongxia picked, her eyes lit up.

Oh my, how long has it been since she last saw these tender green vegetables? The vegetables on sale were all covered in mud and water. When you took them away, you could see they were wilted. It looked like they were poured with water just to weigh them down.

The dish looked so juicy and tender, but she took the dish and shook it hard, and only a few drops of mud splashed on the ground.

What does this mean?

This means that the vegetables have never been watered with any other water except the dew.

Zhang Chunhong weighed the dish in her hand and estimated that it was exactly two kilograms. Seeing this, Jiang Hongxia pointed to the scale beside the counter.

"There is a scale here, weigh it yourself."

Zhang Chunhong was not polite either. She picked up the scale and hooked the semicircular hook directly on the straw used to tie the vegetables. She raised her left hand with a index finger, pinched the rope on the scale bar and lifted it, then stretched out her hand, the vegetables and the scale.

Holding the weight in my right hand, I adjusted the points on the beam and then let go. The beam tilted up to the left.

What does this mean?

This means that this dish weighs more than two kilograms!

Not only is it exactly the right weight, but there’s more.

When they saw this, not only Zhang Chunhong smiled, but the people waiting in line to get their food also had big smiles on their faces.

"Oh, is this a good measure? This dish looks really juicy."

Zhang Chunhong said quickly: "That's enough, that's enough, two catties and one ounce, and a little more."

If this happened in a supply and marketing cooperative, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Some residents also grumbled: "What if there is too much of this dish? We don't know if the other dishes will be enough."

"What if it's my turn and my family is not enough?"

"Anyway, I saw that the previous few people weighed it enough!"

Lan Xin, who was standing by, saw this and shouted, "We guarantee that the weight is accurate. The scale is here, and you can weigh it yourself. If you are not confident about this scale, you can go home and get your own scale. If there is a pound or two missing, we will make up for it with one pound!"

Upon hearing Lan Xin's words, the other workers were so excited that they wanted to take their turn and see if their dishes were good enough.

Seeing Qiu Jun taking his own dishes, signing his name and still standing there motionless, the person behind him pushed his shoulder.

"What are you doing standing here? We have to follow behind to get the food."

"That's it."

Hearing these words, Qiu Jun's ears turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed, but what was more important at the moment was...

He swallowed, placed the enamel basin beside the counter and asked, "What's in here? Do you want to sell it?"

After hearing what Qiu Jun said, Lan Xin's gaze fell to the corner of the counter, where there was an enamel basin with a big red flower, and inside it was her tea eggs!

Lan Xin had forgotten about her tea eggs when she was being urged to get food. She immediately opened the lid. The rich aroma was like treasure bursting out of a box, emitting sparkling light and attracting a bunch of people.

Qiu Jun looked at the fragrant eggs in the basin and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Why don't you give me one of these tea eggs? No, give me four."

If I only buy one for myself to try, my wife behind me will definitely continue to be angry.

"Tea eggs, 2 each, four is 4 yuan in total." Lan Xin said quickly, and then as expected,

"what?!"

"This is a rip-off. An egg is so expensive." Not only Qiu Jun raised his voice, but the residents queuing also couldn't help but scream.

They go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy eggs for only 1 cents each, but what the hell is this tea egg, why the hell is it 8 cents?

"Look, these eggs are great, they are all big eggs, and they were freshly boiled this morning. Don't they taste delicious? They are cooked with spices and tea leaves, so they are full of flavor. You can try one before buying." As she said that, Lan Xin scooped out a tea egg with a spoon and handed it to Qiu Jun.

Looking at the fragrant tea eggs in front of him, Qiu Jun knew that he should refuse. After all, if he bought such expensive tea eggs, Zhang Chunhong would scold him for being a spendthrift.

But he couldn't say no, so he couldn't help but reach out and take the egg. He peeled off the broken eggshell, and the aroma filled his nose, causing a stir in the queue behind him.

Qiu Jun couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite. After taking a bite, the whole tea egg went into his stomach unknowingly, but he still felt unsatisfied.

The people in the queue behind him couldn't help but push his shoulder and asked, "Captain Qiu, please tell me what this tea egg tastes like. Is it delicious?"

Qiu Jun swallowed his saliva and did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a few bills from his pocket and said to Lan Xin: "Give me four more tea eggs!"

Is this tea egg delicious?

It can be seen at a glance from the way Qiu Jun immediately took out the money.

Zhang Chunhong was so angry that she couldn't help but pull his ear and scold him: "You are so rich, you bought so many tea eggs for just two cents..."

But as she was cursing, Zhang Chunhong couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Looking at the gazes of so many people around her, her face turned red, and she pulled Qiu Jun and Tea Egg and walked home.

"I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

The worker queuing behind them couldn't help but speak when he saw what Zhang Hongxia and Qiu Jun were doing, and then looked at the tea eggs in the enamel basin in front of them.

"I want an egg, too."
