Chapter 51: Egg Exchange/Thank You Gift



Qian Xiaolan ignored Wenxuan's next words and put 200 kilograms of each seafood variety on the shelf for him to try selling.

After Wenxuan received the things, he still felt that it was not enough, and sent another long text message with a nagging tone.

Qian Xiaolan ignored him. Su Yirou's message came just in time. She took a look and started preparing the goods.

Su Yirou first put a large bag of gold and jade ornaments on the shelf for her, and then asked Qian Xiaolan to prepare 1,000 kilograms of grains, rice and flour, and let her prepare some meat and seafood for her as well.

Qian Xiaolan was naturally not unhappy. The customer paid first, and she simply kept putting items on the shelves for her.

Thinking about how hard it would be for Su Yirou to survive in the end times, she thoughtfully picked fish with more meat and fewer bones for her.

The grains and other items were given in sufficient quantities. If Xiaoqi hadn't issued a warning, she would have wanted to put some more food on the shelves.

Of course, it’s okay for someone like Wenxuan to sell the supplies first and pay later. With Xiaoqi around, Wenxuan can’t run away.

Ever since Xiaoqi regained consciousness, it has been checking every transaction, fearing that she gave too much or the other party gave too little.

The transaction here had just ended when Wenxuan came again.

In just over an hour, he sold all the fish.

Qian Xiaolan really admires him, and even the top seller can only look up to him.

He kept some for himself and traded the rest to Wenxuan, who happily accepted it and started to prepare supplies of equal value for Qian Xiaolan.

Of course, Xiaoqi has the final say on this equal value.

Qian Xiaolan only had a vague idea and couldn't tell whether it was more or less.

Considering the heavy humidity at the seaside, Qian Xiaolan specially asked Wenxuan to buy several sets of scraping boards and bamboo cups for cupping.

I also bought some various anti-dampness medicines.

In addition, she asked Wenxuan to buy her a set of diving equipment. When she came to the beach, she must find an opportunity to go into the sea and take a look.

After completing all the transactions, Qian Xiaolan left the space only to find that it was already four o'clock.

She was going to have a dinner party tomorrow and her dishes were not ready yet, so she quickly picked up the basket and took the change to go to the village to ask someone.

What she didn't expect was that everyone treated her surprisingly well.

After talking to a few aunts with confusion, she realized that the news of her saving someone last night and treating Xiuxiu this morning had spread throughout the village.

The location of the island where they were located was quite remote, and there was only a clinic in the military camp, but that clinic did not accept ordinary people like them.

Therefore, when they are sick, they try to hold on as long as they can, and only go to the big island to see a doctor when they can't bear it any longer.

Now there is finally a young wife in the village who knows medicine, and they are thinking about making it more convenient to see a doctor in the future, so how can their attitude be bad?

Qian Xiaolan didn't expect that she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the village just by showing off her skills.

She asked an aunt where she could exchange some eggs, and the aunt gave her directions.

"Xiao Qian, if you want to exchange eggs, go to the end of this road on the left. There are a lot of kelp and dried fish drying in the yard. That's your Aunt Wang's house. She has been saving eggs and hasn't eaten them."

Qian Xiaolan thanked the aunt and followed her instructions to the door of the house where the yard was full of fish drying in the sun.

The gate was not closed, Qian Xiaolan knocked on the door and asked loudly, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

"Hey, I'm here, who is it?"

Someone in the room responded in a loud voice and then came out.

Seeing Qian Xiaolan, she laughed before she spoke: "Hahaha, it's you, my little wife! What's the matter?"

It was the smiling aunt who said last night that Qian Xiaolan looked very much like her when she was young.

Qian Xiaolan was also surprised to see her: "So this is my aunt's house. I'm here to exchange some eggs. Do you have any?"

Aunt Wang laughed again: "Yes, yes, I just saved up thirty eggs, how many do you want?"

Qian Xiaolan asked: "If possible, can you give them all to me?"

Aunt Wang waved her hand cheerfully: "What's wrong with that?"

Maybe because Aunt Wang fed the chickens well, the eggs were of uniform size. Qian Xiaolan charged five cents for each egg, and thirty eggs cost one dollar and fifty cents. Aunt Wang was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear.

She smiled and said, "My dear wife, I won't hide it from you. Other people who come to exchange eggs are four cents each. You give me one cent more, so I'm making a big profit.

How about this, I won’t return the money to you, I’ll give you something else.”

As she said that, she went into the house and came out soon with two net bags.

"My dear wife, this is a bag of dried fish that I dried myself. You can take it home and fry it with some oil, or add some shredded ginger and vinegar and steam it directly."

"This bag contains dried kelp. If you want to eat it, just take out a piece, soak it in water, and stew it in soup or stir-fry it with some chili peppers."

Qian Xiaolan took the things in the two large net bags and wanted to give more money, but Aunt Wang refused to take it.

She was reluctant to put them down, so she finally grabbed two handfuls of fruit candies and two White Rabbit milk candies and placed them on Aunt Wang's table, then ran away with the things.

When she was almost home, she saw a group of people standing at her door. She walked over to them puzzledly and recognized them as the mother and son and their family from last night.

They were holding things in their hands, probably to express their gratitude.

Qian Xiaolan opened the gate and invited people in.

The child immediately knelt down in front of her and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for saving my life."

Qian Xiaolan was startled and hurriedly helped the man up: "This is not the right time to do this. Get up quickly."

"Sister, we are really grateful to you! You not only saved my son's life, but also saved the lives of my entire family!

We have been married for many years but we only have one son, Datou. If anything happens to him, our whole family will not be able to survive."

The woman's parents-in-law also wiped away tears.
