AWB Chapter 145 Want Eggs
Chapter 145 Want Eggs
Aunt Mo was moving stealthily, and suddenly her head popped up, scaring Lan Xin, with a look of sneakiness on her face.
Lan Xin: "..."
"Aunt, do you know?"
Lan Xin asked. In fact, she was not surprised that Aunt Mo knew about it. Although Sanqing Mountain was so big, they went up from the back mountain. There was only a short road, and they were still selling things in the place where they came out of the back mountain in the morning. It would not be surprising that Aunt Mo and the others noticed it.
Moreover, Lan Xin's house is so close to Aunt Mo's house. It's really hard for Aunt Mo not to know about the rich aroma of tea eggs cooked all day and the fragrance that spreads for ten miles.
"I saw your sisters-in-law selling things this morning." Aunt Mo nodded and said.
"Business looks pretty good. How about it, can you make ten dollars from sales today?" Aunt Mo put her head close to Lan Xin and asked quietly.
Although she was very unhappy about someone coming to the mountains to steal their business, Aunt Mo was relieved to see that the things Lan Xin and the others were selling were different from hers. She was afraid that Lan Xin and the others would also start selling cucumbers and tomatoes.
Now it seems that they are not selling the same things, and Chen Baoni and the others disappeared after selling for a while in the morning. This made Aunt Mo feel relieved. While she was relieved, she was also curious about how Lan Xin and the others' business was doing.
"Uh..." Lan Xin reached out and pushed away Aunt Mo's furry head, and said vaguely: "Business is okay. Today's work is not in vain."
Aunt Mo raised her eyebrows. It looked like business wasn't going to be good.
She heard it when she passed by this morning. It seemed that what they were selling were some kind of tea eggs, which were 26 cents each. They were so expensive!
Every family has eggs. Normally, the whole family wouldn’t eat them when cooking. But who would want to eat such an expensive thing when they go out for fun?
In the morning, Chen Baoni and her friends sold eggs at the back mountain for a short while. After they sold the fifty eggs, they all went to the tourist attractions for the second pot, so Aunt Mo didn't see them. She thought that so many people were surrounding them in the morning but they were just watching and not selling anything. So Chen Baoni, who was too shy, stopped selling after a while.
Seeing Lan Xin's expression, she dared not say anything, she must have made no money. And she heard from the villagers that the Lan family had a strong aroma, so Aunt Mo guessed that what they ate at night was the tea eggs that were not sold in the morning.
Alas, young people are ignorant. They can't stand selling for just a short while in the morning and take the food home to eat. They really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. If she were in their place, she would squat there for the whole day and sell every single product she could.
Seeing that Lan Xin didn't want to talk, Aunt Mo didn't say anything more, but her mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Oh, theirs is still the best. All the cucumbers and tomatoes they take out every day can be sold out, and they can earn more than ten yuan a day.
"Oh, I won't say much to you. Lan Xin, let me tell you, you have to wait a long time for business to come. You can't just put the store up for a while and then close it down." After saying that, seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Mo hurried home for dinner.
Lan Xin, on the other hand, was confused as she looked at her bloated back.
What is this talking about? Why can't she understand?
……
Xie Shaowu thought that it would take at least ten days for him to come to Lanjia Village, and by then only one or two boxes of the thirty boxes of empty soda bottles would be taken away. But who knew that Lanxi would come to his door on the third day.
Xie Shaowu thought he was playing a joke on him.
But seeing his serious expression, Xie Shaowu could only think that since he was already here, if Lan Xin didn't want the soda, he could send it to other places, so he filled a whole tractor with soda.
When he arrived at Lan Xin's house, Xie Shaowu was a little confused when he saw the twenty-eight boxes of empty soda bottles.
Lan Xin didn't care whether he was confused or not. She just carried two boxes of soda down from the tractor and poured them into the basin to soak.
Chen Baoni and her friends each took away two boxes of soda this morning. Judging from yesterday's situation, it won't be long before those two boxes of soda are sold out. The new soda needs to be cooled down quickly. Anyway, the price is calculated by the box, so there is no need to worry about chaos.
"Is this soda really sold out?" At this time, Xie Shaowu asked stutteringly.
It was the first time he had seen such a good business. Thirty boxes of soda were sold out in just two or three days.
"It hasn't been sold out yet. It's still on sale. Two boxes are still soaked in water. I can only give you twenty-two boxes of empty bottles first." Lan Xin said truthfully.
As she spoke, Lan Xin did not stop working and continued to carry down two boxes of soda and soaked the bottles one by one in the water.
He looked up and asked Xie Shaowu who was standing at the gate, "Shaowu, how many boxes of soda did you bring today? Is it the number we agreed on before?"
Xie Shaowu also started to help Lan Xin move the soda down. He was strong and skilled at this job. He lifted up the five boxes of soda stacked high with ease, and helped Lan Xin carry them into the house, speaking without blushing or panting.
"In my car, there are sixty cartons of Arctic Ocean, and the rest are other brands of soda."
"That's perfect, leave these sixty boxes to me." Lan Xin said.
With the help of Xie Shaowu, who was able to do several things, Lan Xin no longer had to move the things by herself. She turned around and continued to take out the bottles of soda one by one and soak them in the well water.
Xie Shaowu quickly moved the sixty boxes of soda into the thatched hut. The ten boxes of soda immediately filled up half of the space inside the hut, and the other half was filled with boxes of eggs.
After unloading the soda, Xie Shaowu stacked up twenty-two plastic boxes filled with empty bottles and placed them on the carriage.
When he came in again, Lan Xin handed him the money for the soda and said, "Count it, is it this amount?"
Xie Shaowu took the money, counted it, and put it in the small bag on his waist. He touched his nose and asked curiously, "Why is your soda so popular? How about beer?"
Since so many people are paying to drink this sweet drink, wouldn't more people drink it if it was beer instead?
Xie Shaowu had his own plans in mind.
Lan Xin shook her head. It’s enough to drink a soda to quench your thirst while climbing a mountain. Who would drink beer?
"Just soda will be enough." Then she estimated in her mind, "Sixty boxes of soda, please send another sixty boxes over in the morning three days later." Lan Xin said.
"Okay." Xie Shaowu nodded with some disappointment in his heart, and then asked curiously, "Does your family still sell eggs? Why are there so many eggs in the house?"
Lan Xin raised her eyes to glance at the thatched cottage and shook her head: "Selling tea eggs is not raw eggs."
"Tea eggs?" Xie Shaowu was curious and didn't know what tea eggs were.
Lan Xin raised the corners of her mouth, went to the kitchen, picked out a few tea eggs that had not yet been cooked, and handed them to him: "This is what tea eggs are. Why do you want to buy fresh eggs?"
Lan Xin asked. It was obvious from Xie Shaowu's look that what he wanted was not tea eggs, but fresh eggs.
