An Guorong cooked a bucket of small fish to feed the livestock.
Back in the room, the old lady mysteriously pulled him into her room.
The bamboo basket was filled with eggs, and the old lady was very proud. "I picked them all. I picked the big ones. I asked for 45 cents, and they sold them to me without saying anything."
An Guorong made a rough estimate and it seemed that there were more than fifty.
"Mom, how many did you buy?"
The old lady's eyes dodged for a moment, "Not many, only about seventy or eighty." The old lady would never say that she was provoked by Qian Erni to collect more.
"I thought we were all from the same village, and it wasn't easy for everyone to make some money," Grandma An said, "There are only twenty or thirty extra ones, can they be sold?" If she couldn't sell them, she would lose a lot of money, and it hurt her to think about it.
An Guorong knew his mother's little thoughts. His mother just cared about face.
"Okay, let's do this this time. It should be able to be sold. I'll go to a few more stores to ask. Don't do this next time, mom." He had to give his mother face. After all, if he went to sell eggs, he probably wouldn't be able to go to work in the fields, and he would have to rely on his mother to support him.
Everyone was shocked to see Grandma An being so kind to An Guorong and even helping him pick up food during the meal.
The family all knows about collecting eggs. Although it makes a lot of money, it doesn't happen every day. They wouldn't do this to someone like that, right?
The fifth brother, An Guochang, kept looking between them. Was there something he didn't know?
inside the house.
An Yanhua was moved after learning from An Guoren the reason for Grandma An's change.
"I was just saying, when did my grandma like my dad so much?"
"Oh, right," she took out the rabbit she had secretly hidden, "Dad, find a chance to roast it for us."
Fan Chunmei smacked her lips and said, "Yanhua, what's so delicious about this rabbit? Can it be delicious like meat buns or braised pork?"
An Guorong thought for a moment and said, "Yanhua, we won't eat this rabbit. I'll sell it with the eggs."
"I'll buy you some meat buns with the money. If there's any left, you can have some braised pork. The rabbit we roasted ourselves is tasteless."
An Yanhua's saliva was about to flow out due to greed. She slurped and nodded uncontrollably.
…
"Who is it? Why are you knocking in broad daylight when you're not at work?" The old lady said as she walked over after hearing the knock on the door. Her voice sounded a bit harsh and rude.
When she opened the door, she found An Guorong looking at her with a smile on his face. The old lady looked a little embarrassed and explained gently, "Comrade An, there have been people coming to our house to cause trouble these past few days. I thought it was someone else coming to cause trouble again."
Comrade An always thought that she was a kind-hearted old lady, and the old lady didn't want to reveal her true identity.
An Guorong pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "So that's how it is. These people are so despicable that they forced someone as easy to talk to as you into this state."
The old lady wanted to end the topic quickly, so she pulled the man in and poured him a glass of water. Only then did she see that there was a bamboo basket behind An Guorong and a bucket in his hand.
"Are these the eggs you brought?"
An Guorong had already set out, but he did not run to the old lady's side at the beginning.
He first sold all the extra eggs, fish and rabbits, and then came here carrying fifty eggs.
If he said fifty, it must be fifty. He gave so much the first time, but people didn't know how to cherish it.
Fortunately, he was safe when selling eggs. He only asked people who were going in and out of the hospital.
"Even though you can raise eggs in the countryside, every household needs to eat them themselves. I collected these fifty eggs with great difficulty. It's you, Auntie, who is the only one who can help me. If it were someone else, I wouldn't do this business with him."
An Guorong took a big gulp of water. He was indeed a little thirsty after all the hard work this morning.
Hey, it’s sweet.
"Auntie, you're so polite. Just give me some water, why put sugar in it?"
"It's no big deal. Don't worry, you can ask Auntie for more after you finish drinking."
The old lady's eyes never left the eggs. She picked them out one by one and put them in her egg basket.
Comrade An is a really honest person. The eggs are big and round, and he even cleans up the chicken manure for her. The old lady is even more satisfied with the deal.
After she took all the eggs, she found a wooden barrel next to it. She sniffed and smelled a fishy smell, and her eyes lit up.
“Is there a fish in here?”
An Guorong stood up from the stool and said, "I haven't found any big fish these days, only small ones the size of a palm. Auntie, you take such good care of me, I can't let you down with this kind of fish, so I'll just give it to you. It's my first visit gift."
"This, this is so embarrassing." The old lady was happy in her heart. She had felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the small fish which was only this big.
In the end, the old lady happily accepted the four palm-sized fish, and gave An Guorong a handful of peanuts when he left.
Fifty eggs were sold for a total of three dollars and fifty cents, plus the individual eggs sold earlier, the total profit was more than five dollars.
After deducting the cost, I actually only made a little over one dollar on this trip.
An Guorong was a little surprised after he finished the calculation.
With such a huge profit, if he brought more eggs, wouldn't he be able to make two or three dollars a day?
This is almost as much as a worker's salary.
After thinking about it, he decided not to implement it. Although the profit was not small, it was indeed hard-earned money. Eggs were easily broken during transportation and would have to be sold at a low price. The most important thing was that the risk was not small, so he did not plan to expand it. It was enough to maintain his current life.
He gave all four small fish directly to the old lady, but she gave him a handful of peanuts, so he didn't lose too much.
