"Hey, Huang Xiaomei, what do you mean by that? What's wrong with my eggs?"
"You little brat, are you looking for a beating?"
Aunt Li quit.
What's wrong with her eggs being small?
Her family's eggs are very fragrant.
Seeing them start arguing, Chen Suwen put away the brown sugar, saying, "Digging for bracken roots takes some time, so you probably won't have time today."
"Let's talk about it at the next market."
"No need, Auntie, I'll go dig it up for you right away." Hearing Chen Suwen's words, Huang Xiaomei was worried that the benefits she was about to receive would slip away, so she quickly packed up her stall.
Actually, she came here today just to bring out the eggs from her home to exchange for other things. It would be even better if she could get some nourishing things for her mother.
The water fern was just something she had secretly included; now that she had given it to Chen Suwen, she also stuffed the remaining eggs into Chen Suwen's hands, saying, "Auntie, do you want to exchange the eggs?"
"If you want to exchange eggs, I'll give you all these eggs, and then I'll go dig up some bracken roots for you."
Before Chen Suwen could speak, Huang Xiaomei quickly ran out.
Chen Suwen wanted to call out to her but couldn't, because her figure disappeared very quickly.
"Isn't this little girl afraid you'll run away with the eggs?" Ye Yulian, who had already changed her things and returned, looked at Huang Xiaomei's disappearing figure with a puzzled expression.
“What’s there to worry about? There are plenty of people watching.” Aunt Li, who had just been arguing with Huang Xiaomei, explained.
They were all acquaintances who knew each other well, and most of the people in the market knew each other and had good relationships with each other, so with so many people watching, they weren't worried that Chen Suwen would run away with the eggs.
When Huang Xiaomei comes back soon, she will definitely be able to find Chen Suwen.
Chen Suwen: "..."
"Have you changed all your things?"
Ye Yulian nodded, "Yes, you see."
Chen Suwen looked at the things she had exchanged: eggs, duck eggs, and some sweet potatoes, corn, and the like.
Of course, they can grow things like pumpkin tips, chayote tips, etc. at home, but they don't have enough space to grow them all.
"What about you? Do you want to exchange your chicken? I saw over there that someone brought out their own old hen to exchange."
"Is there an old hen?"
Chen Suwen became interested.
They're called old hens, and they really are old hens. They were hens that used to be kept at home to lay eggs, but they can no longer lay eggs, so they're brought out to sell... no, to be traded.
Chen Suwen became interested.
Old hen soup is quite good, whether it's for a daughter-in-law during her postpartum period or for other family members.
Chen Su asked how to exchange it, and in the end she exchanged a pound of brown sugar and a covered enamel basin for the old hen.
That enamel basin is about 20 centimeters in diameter and 30 centimeters deep; such an enamel basin is quite valuable.
Chen Suwen didn't feel she had lost out by exchanging the chicken for an old hen that weighed about three or four pounds.
After all, in addition to the old hen, the stall owner also gave her some fruits and vegetables.
