After wandering around the bathhouse entrance for a long time, An Hongdou spotted a chubby older sister who had just come out.

"Auntie, can I ask you for a favor?" An Hongdou asked with a smile.

Zhang Hongni was holding the bath ticket issued by the factory. As soon as she came out of the bath, she was stopped by a... uh... fat black woman. She was so scared that she became nervous.

"You...what do you want to do?" She looked around and saw the crowds of people. Even if they were bad guys, they would not choose this place to attack. She felt relieved.

It's no wonder she made a fuss. An Hongdou's appearance, with his dark face and fat body, was really a little too scary.

"I just want to ask big sister if you still have bath tickets. I came from the countryside and I'm sweaty and smelly, so I want to come over and take a bath, but I don't have any bath tickets, so..." An Hongdou stopped talking appropriately.

Zhang Hongni said directly: "I do have a bath ticket, but why should I give it to you?"

She works in a factory and is given some bath tickets every month. Now that the weather is still hot, she can just take a bath at home. If the bath tickets didn't have an expiration date, she would be too lazy to come out.

This thing is just thrown away in the summer, but it's a pity to keep it as it's useless.

However, no matter how useless it is, there is no reason to give it to people for free.

An Hongdou was not angry. She took out two eggs from the bamboo basket on her arm and said, "Big sister, these are eggs laid by our own chickens. I'd like to exchange them with you. Is that okay with you?"

Yes, of course it worked!

Where can I find such a good thing?

Zhang Hongni still has the bath tickets that she just received today on her.

Seeing this, he quickly asked An Hongdou, "Big sister, one ticket for each egg, how many do you want?"

"Thank you, big sister. I only need two." An Hongdou said.

She used one today and kept the other one as a backup.

Zhang Hongni was a little disappointed. "Big sister, it's hard to get bath tickets in the countryside. Do you want to exchange for a few more? Big sister, the tickets I just issued today are all good in date and can be used for a month."

An Hongdou just smiled faintly and said, "I don't come to the city often, so two cards are enough."

They have a large family and built a bathhouse in the yard. If she could go back right now, she wouldn't need a bath ticket.

An Hongdou took the two bath tickets and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Hongni, "Big sister, do you have anything else in your basket?"

"There are still some eggs and..." An Hongdou's eyes lit up instantly, but her tone was hesitant and embarrassed, "Why do you ask this, big sister?"

Zhang Hongni's eyes also lit up, and she pulled An Hongdou to the side, "Big sister, it's inconvenient here with so many people, let's go over there where there are less people and talk."

An Hongdou was not in a hurry to take a shower, so she followed her.

When they reached a quiet place, Zhang Hongni said, "Big sister, can you sell me some of your eggs? You see, you can sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative, and they are picky and bargain for you. If you sell them to me, I won't bargain for you, and I will give you the same price as the supply and marketing cooperative. How about that?"

It’s really not good!

An Hongdou felt that the other party might think she was a little stupid.

It is true that the supply and marketing cooperatives can lower prices, but that is a legitimate way of doing things and there is no danger.

If they are caught doing this kind of private trading, they will be criticized and re-educated. The risk has increased several times, but they can only make a few cents. What is she trying to gain?

"It's not impossible." An Hongdou rolled her eyes and said, "Then sister, did you bring the egg ticket?"

"What? You still want tickets?" Zhang Hongni widened her eyes in disbelief.

An Hongdou immediately showed a look of contempt, "Sister, you don't need a ticket to buy eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Then this is not a supply and marketing cooperative!" said Zhang Hongni.

An Hongdou sighed in a pretentious manner, "I think it's better to forget it. If I get caught doing private transactions, I'll be criticized. I'd better go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. At least it's safe enough."

"No, big sister..." Zhang Hongni was still reluctant to let An Hongdou go, and hurriedly pulled her back and said, "How about this, big sister, your family is in the countryside, and it's useless for you to have these egg coupons. I'll give you a higher price than the supply and marketing cooperative, what do you think?"

"How much higher?" An Hongdou covered her basket with one hand, and looked like she would leave immediately if it wasn't much higher.

Zhang Hongni also figured it out. She originally came here to see the girl, who knew nothing and wanted to get a bargain, but she didn't expect that this girl was not easy to cheat.

"If you don't give me the ticket, it's three cents each. That's the price on the black market. Don't be too greedy, sister." Zhang Hongni hardened her heart and looked like she had a toothache.

An Hongdou only knew that the price in the supply and marketing cooperative was 8 cents per coin, and the selling price was 1 cent, but she really had no idea what the price was on the black market.

But Zhang Hongni has already raised the price three times, and she looks distressed. It seems that even if it is a little lower than the black market, it won’t be much lower.

So, An Hongdou nodded and said, "Big sister, we are destined to be together. I'll give you this egg."

There were a few eggs in the basket that An Hongdou was carrying. She originally planned to take them back to Shen Xiangzhi to replenish his body. There were also some other things that she could bring out from the space, but the quantity was not much.

At this time, the floral cloth covering the basket gave her the opportunity to cheat.

An Hongdou reached a hand into the basket and put the eggs in the space into it.

Zhang Hongni saw An Hongdou rummaging in the basket and taking out about 30 eggs one after another. Then she quickly said that it was enough.

The price An Hongni offered was definitely lower than the black market price, so it was a good deal. However, the weather was still hot, and eggs did not last long. She was afraid that if she bought too many, they would go bad if she could not finish them.

As for letting her family eat as much as they want, even if they don't need tickets, her family doesn't meet that requirement.

"Big sister, you should have received one dollar and two cents for these 34 eggs. But I don't have any change, so I'll take advantage of your two cents and give you one dollar!" Zhang Hongni tidied up her clothes basket and stuffed all the eggs in it swiftly. Then she paid one dollar and left in a hurry.

An Hongdou didn't say much. Two cents was really nothing to her.

Although prices are cheap these days, money is really precious.

Including the money her eldest brother left her, she now has a total of 2.5 yuan.

An Hongdou got up and walked out of the alley, heading straight for the bathhouse with the bath ticket in her hand.

When he came out again, he was clean and had changed his clothes.

As for her original clothes, they had been thrown into the space, and she was ready to find a place to throw them away.
