"You're selling this little bit of green onion for fifty cents? Are you trying to rob me?"

Although the onions sold by Jiang Li are bright green and pleasing to the eye, the price is not very satisfactory.

Meat now costs only 1.1 or 1.2 yuan per pound. She has to pay 50 cents for a small handful of green onions. She might as well spend a little more money to buy half a pound of meat.

"My onions are not ordinary onions."

As Jiang Li spoke, he broke off one of the onions. The crowd watching had already noticed the strong fragrance of the onion, but after it was broken, the fragrance was even more intense.

The fragrance of this onion is very tempting, completely different from the onions they usually grow.

"What kind of chive is this?"

Most of them grow all-season chives, so they can be grown all year round, but when it starts snowing in winter, the yield is simply terrible.

"This is called red-headed onion. It's an improved variety. It's very difficult to cultivate and has a very low yield. Don't think it's expensive. It actually takes a lot of time and effort to grow it."

Jiang Li counted on his fingers and carefully calculated the bill for them.

"It took over a year to cultivate the seeds, and there were several failures during the planting process. The losses were not small, and there are still..."

After Jiang Li said a lot, everyone finally understood.

Since this is indeed a new variety and it is very difficult to grow, at least after listening to Jiang Li, they no longer have the idea of ​​trying it.

With a try-it-out attitude, many people bought various ingredients from her.

Everyone bought very little, just a small handful of this or that, and each person spent only about one or two dollars at her stall.

But it doesn’t matter. With the accumulation of small amounts, Jiang Li made a lot of money in just half an hour.

Not only did she sell onions at this price, she also sold garlic at this price.

The price of chili peppers and ginger is directly based on their size and her mood.

Jiang Li’s only advantage is that her hands are like a scale, and the amount she distributes each time is very even.

In this way, even if everyone is not very satisfied with the price, there will be no quarrel because one person gave too much and the other gave too little.

There were only a few peppers left in the pile. Just as Jiang Li was about to close the stall, he heard someone shouting.

"The red armbands are coming, the red armbands are coming, everyone run!"

The red armbands represent the management committee here, which is specifically responsible for cracking down on speculation and profiteering.

Although the crackdown is not as severe as before, people still come to check from time to time.

However, most of the time it is just a pretense, and only those who participate in particularly large quantities and share will be arrested and dealt with.

When Jiang Li saw this situation, she immediately ran away with the spicy strips. She went into an alley and quickly put the things into the space. Then she walked out from the other end of the alley in a swagger.

As soon as Jiang Li came out, he saw a little boy squatting on the ground holding two baskets.

The two older boys were constantly bullying him, but the little boy guarded the basket tightly and didn't say a word even though they were bullying him.

"Who are you? Why are you bullying this kid?"

Jiang Li shouted at the top of his lungs, and the two older boys immediately ran away feeling guilty.

Jiang Li squatted in front of the little boy and asked with a smile: "Little brother, are you alone here? Where are your parents?"

The little boy lowered his head and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, sister."

Jiang Li chatted with the little boy for a while. Just as she was about to get up, she saw a peasant woman running towards her in a hurry, carrying two handbags.

"Erdan, Erdan, are you okay?"

"Sister, is this your child? Two older boys were bullying him just now, and I chased them away. Your child is too young, so you should keep an eye on him."

"Ah, I have no choice. The child's father is in poor health and the family has no money to buy medicine. I saved some eggs and took them to the town to sell. I can't take too much at one time, so I can only let the child look after it."

The peasant woman sighed, saying that life is not easy for anyone these days.

Fortunately, she secretly raised a few chickens and could make some money by selling eggs.

But these days, there are crackdowns everywhere, and it is not easy to sell eggs. She worked hard for an entire afternoon and only sold more than 30 eggs. She didn't know how to sell the remaining 50 eggs.

"Are these all free-range eggs?"

"Yes, these are all eggs laid by the chickens I raise at home. I usually don't want to eat them, so I saved them up and ended up with so many."

The peasant woman lifted the cloth on the basket, and underneath the cloth were some husks. When she peeled off the husks, she could see the eggs hidden inside.

Jiang Li took out an egg and held it under the sun. There was a small black dot in the middle of each egg.

There is no doubt that these eggs are fertilized eggs. As long as the temperature is right, they will hatch into chicks.

"Sister, how much are you selling these eggs for?"

"Eggs are usually sold for 8 cents each. You helped my child, so if you can buy more than 10, I'll sell them for 7.5 cents each."

Jiang Li took several eggs and exposed them to the sun. After confirming that they were all fertilized eggs, she waved her hand and decided to take them all.

"Sister, I want all your eggs."

"I have more than 50 eggs here. Do you want them all?"

"Yes, my kids need more nutrition, and 50-odd eggs is not too much."

The eldest sister carefully took out the eggs and began to count them in front of Jiang Li.

A total of 58 eggs were taken out of the basket, totaling 4.35 yuan.

"Just give me 4.3 yuan." The elder sister was very happy to sell so many eggs at one time.
