It would be better to keep them and let them lay eggs to improve life at home.
"Our family has just saved up a lot of eggs, and my mother plans to sell them tomorrow. Fortunately, you told me today. Otherwise, it would be too late. Are you planning to create a new dish?" Wan Zhifang kept talking to Jiang Ning on the way back.
Jiang Ning: "Isn't this also forced upon me? If it weren't for Sister Zhang suddenly starting selling braised dishes, I wouldn't have come up with a new menu so quickly."
"Okay, okay, I made a new menu today, remember to save some for me to try."
"Okay, no problem."
As they were talking, they arrived at Wan Zhifang's home.
Before I even entered the door, I saw Wan Zhifang's mother sitting alone on a bench in the yard, pasting matchboxes carefully and seriously.
"Mom, this is the Jiang Ning I often told you about. It's the one I often buy braised dishes from."
Wan Zhifang's mother, Wang Yulan, immediately looked up and saw her daughter and a beautiful little girl standing at the door.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Jiang Ning."
"Come in and sit down. Why are you still standing outside the door?" Wang Yulan stood up from the bench and moved a chair for Jiang Ning, motioning her to sit down.
"Thank you, Auntie." Zhifang and her mother really look alike, they can obviously be mother and daughter, Jiang Ning thought.
After Jiang Ning sat down, Wan Zhifang and Wang Yulan explained the purpose of Jiang Ning's visit: "Mom, you haven't sold the eggs at home yet, right? Jiang Ning needs eggs too. I thought since we have to sell our eggs anyway, we might as well sell them to Jiang Ning."
"No, no, I've been busy making matchboxes these days and haven't had time to sell them. I'm still at home."
Wan Zhifang: "Jiang Ning, please wait for us. My mother and I will get the eggs for you."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, no problem."
Then the two of them went into the room, and Jiang Ning sat alone in the yard, looking around the house.
Although the yard is not big, it is neat and clean. The chickens are surrounded by a fence, and there is a big tree in the yard.
Soon the mother and daughter came out with a basket full of eggs.
"Jiang Ning, the egg shell is a little dirty. Let me wipe it with a rag. You can just count how many there are." After saying that, Wan Zhifang started to wipe the egg.
Jiang Ning knew that they didn't want to take advantage of her, so they asked her to count it herself in this way.
Soon the eggs were all cleaned and Jiang Ning finished counting them. There were a total of 122 eggs. At the market price of 6 cents each, that came to 7.32 yuan. Wan Zhifang and her mother insisted on rounding off the remaining 2 cents.
Jiang Ning did not insist and had to count out seven yuan and thirty cents and handed it to Wang Yulan. He then took out the snacks he had prepared for the twins from his bag, and then left with the eggs.
Back home, Jiang Ning started to braise eggs. She divided the eggs into three parts and braised 30 eggs to see how they would go. She was busy all afternoon before she finished preparing all the dishes for sale.
......
As soon as he set up the stall, Jiang Ning opened the wooden barrel containing the braised eggs covered with cotton cloth, and the rich aroma of the braised eggs immediately wafted out.
Chen Yan fished out a braised egg, peeled it, cut it, and placed it on brown paper for the guests to taste.
Sister Zhang next door couldn't help but change her expression when she saw the eggs: "Jiang Ning, what kind of eggs are you making? They smell really good. Why haven't I heard you mention them before?"
Jiang Ning: "This is a new dish we just made. Today is the first day we sell it. I don't know how the business is going yet."
"How much do you sell these eggs for?"
"One and a half cents each."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhang couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my god, why are they so expensive? Eggs are only six cents each. You're exorbitantly priced. I'm afraid they won't sell well."
He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. If Jiang Ning and his friends' braised dishes didn't sell well, wouldn't his own business be even better?
Thinking of this, Sister Zhang worked harder. Although she didn't sell many braised dishes yesterday and gave them away to others, her husband scolded her for being wasteful and wasting money. Humph, if he saw that Jiang Ning made so many eggs today and couldn't sell them, he wouldn't feel that he was wasting money. He didn't even have half of Jiang Ning's eggs. Chen Yan didn't know how to stop her. Otherwise, she could ask Jiang Ning to share a few braised eggs with her and take them at cost price. She could also help her. Jiang Ning would probably be very grateful to her for helping her so much. Although Jiang Ning didn't tell her the recipe of the braising liquid, it should be no problem for her to give her all the braising liquid from selling eggs today. But she wasn't a stingy person, so she could just give her two cents for the braising liquid.
The more Sister Zhang thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea. So she said to Jiang Ning, "Jiang Ning, I'm afraid it's hard to sell all these eggs. Why don't I help you sell some eggs? You can pay me the cost price, but can you also give me the brine you use to soak the eggs? I won't take advantage of you, so I'll give you 20 cents."
Jiang Ning laughed in anger at what Sister Zhang said. She actually wanted her brine. She was not a fool. How could she give it to you? What would I sell if she gave it to me? So she smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Zhang, but no thanks. I can sell all these eggs today, so you don't have to worry about it. I need the brine myself, so don't worry about it."
When Sister Zhang heard this, she immediately felt that Jiang Ning was too ungrateful. She was obviously helping her out of kindness, but she didn't appreciate it. Then she would have to watch her fail to sell these eggs, and it would be fun to end up with them.
Soon it was time to get off work, and the workers came out in groups of three or four.
"Jiang Ning, have you added new dishes? Let me try and see how it tastes." said a big brother holding a lunch box.
The eldest brother picked up the braised egg and tasted it: "It tastes really good, a little fragrant and a little salty, and it's very tender and fresh. It's really delicious. How much is this egg?"
"Brother Liu, these eggs are new and I'm selling them for the first time. They're 15 cents each."
"Okay, give me two. Let the kids at home have a taste of it today." After saying that, he took out three cents from his bag and handed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning took the money, quickly packed up the two eggs, and handed them to Brother Liu.
Seeing someone so readily pay for the eggs shocked Sister Zhang. How could anyone buy such expensive eggs? What a spendthrift!
Soon Jiang Ning's eggs were sold out.
When it was time to close the stall, Wan Zhifang came to find Jiang Ning and gave them two big roasted sweet potatoes.
Jiang Ning likes to eat this kind of roasted sweet potato the most. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also very filling. She and Chen Yan probably won’t need to eat dinner after eating these two roasted sweet potatoes.
Jiang Ning took the sweet potato and handed her five eggs: "Here, these are the eggs I saved for you. Heat them up before eating them. They will taste better. This is my new product. Remember to give me some feedback after you eat it."
"As for the money, there's no need, because I don't plan to give you any money, sweet potato."
"How can this be? Your five eggs can be exchanged for many sweet potatoes of mine." Wan Zhifang said as she was about to give money to Jiang Ning.
