Spring planting and autumn harvest, daily life. There are no imperial relatives. The space is used for hoarding items and storing things.
Xu Han woke up to find herself transmigrated to an al...
Xu Han smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, look at our eggs, they're all fresh. And each egg is quite big, it's definitely a good deal for you to buy them."
Seeing that the eggs were indeed quite large, the woman said, "Then give me thirty."
Xu Han then started promoting, "Sister-in-law, would you like some duck eggs too? They're delicious, big, and cheap."
And these salted duck eggs are two for five coins; they taste exceptionally good, each one oozing oil, fragrant and salty. You don't even need to cook anything else for breakfast with porridge.”
Upon hearing this, the woman looked at the duck eggs Xu Han had handed her, and seeing that they were indeed quite good, she said, "Alright, then give me eight!"
Eggs cost 27 coins, plus eight salted duck eggs cost 20 coins, for a total of 47 coins.
Xu Han took the money, and Lu Chuan began to pack eggs for the woman.
Fortunately, people in this era are used to carrying a basket when they go out to buy groceries, so they don't need to worry about how to pack it.
Seeing that the woman's eggs were indeed very cheap, some of the onlookers who were also planning to buy eggs came over to inquire.
"How much are these eggs? Are they all 9 coins for 10?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Han patiently explained, "Auntie, our eggs are one coin each if you buy less than thirty, and nine coins for ten if you buy more than thirty. There is no upper limit; even if you buy more, it's still nine coins for ten."
After Xu Han finished talking about the price of eggs, she went on to talk about the prices of other types of eggs, raising her voice to attract the attention of onlookers.
Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Xu Han called out again, "Take a look! Eggs of 30 or more are only 9 coins for 10, and we also have fresh duck and goose eggs. They're big and cheap, so don't miss out!"
Everyone come and take a look! Eggs for sale! Eggs for sale! Bulk orders get a discount!
After Xu Han called out, sure enough, more people came over. When the old lady saw that there were more and more people, she quickly started to select eggs.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan imitated Xu Han and started shouting.
The stall was quickly surrounded by a crowd. Xu Han and Lu Chuan were squatting on the ground picking up eggs and collecting money when they were completely buried in the crowd.
After one wave, about half of the eggs on the stall were gone. Seeing that the number of people was gradually decreasing, Lu Chuan started shouting again.
This is the busiest time at the market, with city residents coming to buy groceries after just getting up, preparing to cook breakfast later.
Lu Chuan was in charge of hawking the goods, and Xu Han was in charge of selling eggs. Fortunately, there weren't many people after the previous wave, so one person could manage the job.
Just then, a woman walked over, wiping non-existent sweat from her forehead. Panting, she saw Xu Han and said, "Do you still have eggs? I ran into my neighbor, Granny Ma, when I was buying groceries. She told me that the eggs here are cheap, so I rushed over here in case you sold out."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately replied, "Yes, yes, how many do you want, ma'am? We brought plenty of eggs today, so we can buy as many as you need."
"Give me sixty, I have a lot of people in my family and we eat a lot. Also, give me 20 salted duck eggs. And four goose eggs too."
After hearing this, Xu Han quickly started packing the eggs, thinking to herself, "They really are from a wealthy family."
Thinking of this, and recalling what the woman had said when she came, as if someone had just introduced her, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.
So when Xu Han was packing the eggs, she specially packed an extra egg for the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm giving you an extra egg. Please tell anyone you know about us when you go back that we sell eggs here. If anyone needs to buy eggs, they can come here to find us."
Upon hearing this, the woman laughed, her eyes narrowing into slits. "Hahaha, don't worry, now that I've accepted your eggs, I'll definitely pass on the message. When I get back, I'll shout it out in the alley so everyone knows about it."
Xu Han thanked the woman again, took the money she handed over, and continued with her work.
Xu Han then used this excuse several more times to get them to help promote her.
This approach proved quite effective, and soon many people began to flock to the area.
The eggs on the stall were sold out in no time.
Seeing the situation, Xu Han quickly used the carriage as cover and took out a lot of eggs from her spatial storage.
As the number of people in the market dwindled, only a few people came to the stalls to buy eggs.
Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My goodness, these aunties and sisters-in-law are so enthusiastic. I'm all sweaty, at least I can rest for a while."
Lu Chuan brought over a stool and poured Xu Han a glass of water, saying, "Drink some water and calm down first! After a while, more people will come out to buy ingredients for lunch, and there will definitely be even more people then."
Xu Han thought about it and agreed. After all, breakfast was passable, but by the time it was time to make lunch, the vegetables bought yesterday would have been eaten up, so they would definitely have to go out to buy fresh vegetables.
People who buy eggs in the morning will tell their neighbors, and word will spread quickly, eventually reaching even more people.
Just as Xu Han was about to ask Lu Chuan what he wanted for breakfast, she saw a person dressed in fine clothes walking towards them, followed by a servant. It seemed that he was the purchasing agent for that wealthy family.
The reason it's called "purchasing" is because no wealthy family's master would personally come to the market to buy vegetables.
This doesn't make sense, and if it were the host, there would definitely be more people following behind.
How much are the eggs?
Lu Chuan began with a barrage of flattery: "This gentleman is very lucky. Today, our eggs are on sale at a low price. Any thirty or more eggs are only 9 coins each. We also have duck eggs, goose eggs, and salted duck eggs. They are all very cheap, large, and fresh."
The purchasing agent was even happier when Lu Chuan called him "Master" and said he was lucky, but he still said, "Hahaha, you're quite the smooth talker, kid. I'm not some master, I'm just a purchasing manager."
Without giving Lu Chuan a chance to speak, he continued, "Then give me 500 chicken eggs, 100 salted duck eggs, and 50 goose eggs!"
Upon hearing that the order was so large, Lu Chuan immediately beamed and said, "Alright, sir. I'll pack it for you right away."
The purchasing agent continued, "We need to continue purchasing. Could you deliver these to the mansion? We can use the back door to get this receipt, and someone will settle the payment for you."
Lu Chuan was in a dilemma. He was really worried about leaving Xu Han here alone to watch the stall. She was unfamiliar with the place, and if something happened to her, he would be in a real predicament.
Xu Han replied directly, "Of course, of course. May I ask where your residence is located?"
