Wu Xiuxiu's eyes lit up. It was a big customer.
What good fortune tonight!
How many eggs should I tell him?
I definitely can't tell the truth. There are hundreds of thousands of eggs in the space. If I tell him there are hundreds of thousands of eggs, he will definitely not believe it.
Chicken farms nowadays don’t have so many eggs, where did she get so many eggs?
"I still have a thousand eggs. Can you take them all?" Wu Xiuxiu said after a little hesitation.
If you say there are about a thousand eggs, that's enough. If there are more, he will become suspicious and think that there is no way he can have so many eggs.
"Of course. Where did you get so many eggs, little girl?" The sturdy man nodded immediately and asked curiously.
"These eggs are not mine, they belong to my relative... I have a relative who had access to a lot of chicken skins. She was very bold and found a place to secretly raise dozens of chickens. They lay dozens of eggs every day, and she saved up so many eggs.
She couldn't find a place to sell before, but recently she heard that there is a black market here every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night, so she asked me to help her sell it...
She wanted to come by herself, but she had a problem with her legs and it was not easy for her to walk. The market here only opens at night and it is not easy to walk at night, so she asked me to help her sell the goods.”
Wu Xiuxiu quickly thought of a thorough explanation and said it out loud, while her eyes secretly looked at the man in front of her with curiosity.
What did this man buy so many eggs for? He definitely didn't eat them himself. No matter how many people there are in his family, they can't eat a thousand eggs.
Besides, a normal person would never buy a thousand eggs and keep them for later consumption.
"Is your relative from the countryside? Private individuals are not allowed to raise chickens in the city now. It's difficult to raise one secretly, let alone dozens of chickens. Only people in the countryside can secretly raise dozens of chickens." asked the man.
Wu Xiuxiu nodded quickly, "Yes, she is from the countryside."
"How much do you want to sell these eggs for? I'll buy you a thousand eggs, but you have to give me a lower price." The man negotiated the price with Wu Xiuxiu.
"This egg is 1.8 cents each..."
“Why is it so expensive!”
Before Wu Xiuxiu could finish her words, the sturdy man frowned and interrupted her loudly.
"Recently, eggs on the black market are 1.6 or 1.7 cents each. Why are you selling them for 1.8 cents? And I'm buying a thousand of them from you... I didn't expect that a girl like you, at such a young age, would be so ruthless in business and charge such high prices." The sturdy man was very dissatisfied.
"Brother, look at my eggs. How can they compare to those eggs that sell for 1.6 or 1.7 cents?
The head, color, and brightness of my egg are top-quality eggs! You can sell them for 20 cents." Wu Xiuxiu pointed at the egg in the man's hand and said.
She thought that the strong man bought so many eggs not to eat them, but to sell them.
"How do you know I buy eggs to sell them?" The sturdy man narrowed his eyes and stared at Wu Xiuxiu, with a hint of obvious surprise in his eyes.
"I guess... you bought so much, definitely not for eating. Brother, let me tell you, my eggs are really good and nutritious.
And they are big, one and a half times bigger than ordinary eggs. You don't have to sell them by the number, you can make more money by selling them by kilograms, so you won't lose money if you buy one for 1.8 cents, but you will make a lot of money." Wu Xiuxiu continued to sell her eggs.
Weighing by kilogram was something she had just thought of. From then on, she no longer sold eggs by the number, but by the kilogram.
That way, eggs as big as hers could fetch more money.
But there are no scales from that time in the space, only modern electronic scales.
"Oh, you are such a good talker, little girl! You are really a good business material..." The strong man looked at Wu Xiuxiu and smiled. "I won't say more to you, the price is 1.7 cents each."
Wu Xiuxiu thought about it and decided that since he was buying so many at once, it was not impossible to charge him one cent for each egg.
"Okay, deal." Wu Xiuxiu nodded.
