However, you'll need to pay attention to the number of eggs you use, controlling the amount each day. Don't use too many, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.
Actually, 50,000 eggs don't take up much space, but if some aren't sold now, the accumulated area will be even larger, making them even harder to sell.
Everyone discussed it animatedly, and after combining their opinions, they finally decided to first sell it in restaurants in the county and prefectural towns, and then sell it in individual shops.
After deciding on the method of selling eggs, the Taoist priest asked, "How much do you plan to sell each egg for? If you're going to sell in bulk, the price may have to be lower than usual."
Xu Han said, "Usually, eggs cost one coin each. If we plan to sell them individually, we'll give one egg away for every ten eggs you buy."
If it's a restaurant, I can give you a discount; 10 for 8 coins is fine too.
After hearing the price, everyone thought it was acceptable. Since they were selling in bulk, the price would definitely be more favorable.
"This price is acceptable; it's not too cheap, but it still allows us to make a profit."
After everyone had discussed it, Grandpa Zhao urged the two of them to go to sleep so they could travel to the county town the next day.
When the two children heard that their mother and father were going on another long trip and would be away from home for several days, they insisted on sticking to Lianhe and sleeping together that night.
Xu Han looked at her two sons and ultimately couldn't bear to refuse them.
"Then go and get your pillows and blankets. You can sleep with us tonight."
Lu Chuan looked at his wife with a resentful expression, but Xu Han pretended not to see his gaze, lowered her head and avoided looking at him.
After Mu'er and Ze'er moved out of Xu Han and Lu Chuan's room to sleep, Lu Chuan moved their small bed out of the room.
So tonight, the two children had to squeeze onto the same kang (heated brick bed) with them to sleep. Luckily, the kang is big enough, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to wake up properly.
Ze'er and Mu'er were lying on either side of Xu Han, each child holding one of her arms, making it impossible for Xu Han to move. She was both amused and exasperated.
Lu Chuan glanced at his wife and saw that there was no room for him next to her. He couldn't help but feel jealous and said, "How old are you two? You're still sleeping with your mother in your arms. Aren't you ashamed?"
Mu'er knew her father too well. She pretended not to hear, but tightened her grip on Xu Han's arm.
Ze'er wanted to retort, but seeing that his brother remained silent, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing that his two sons ignored him, Lu Chuan also felt bored and thought to himself, "Fine, I'll let them off the hook for the next few days since I won't be home. Besides, my wife sleeps with me every day, so I'll be merciful and let them have her for now!"
Xu Han watched the three men arguing amongst themselves without intervening, letting them make a scene.
Perhaps she was too tired during the day, and she fell asleep first while thinking about it. When the father and his two sons saw that she was asleep, they consciously stopped talking.
A good night's sleep...
The next morning, Xu Han and Lu Chuan each carried a basket on their backs and set off early.
The two of them went to the county town this time, thinking that there was nothing there on the surface, so they simply took a small boat.
Of course, they told the servants that they were going to the county town to sell eggs, and Xu Han and Lu Chuan even carried baskets and carrying baskets on their backs.
This excuse is quite appropriate, after all, for so long, apart from the eggs we eat regularly, the rest of the eggs have not been processed.
Although others were also curious about where the eggs were, they never asked.
When Xu Han mentioned that the two of them were going to the county town to sell eggs, they didn't think much of it. They simply thought it was a perfectly normal thing to do.
After all, we receive a lot of eggs every day. If we said we ate them all without leaving a single one, no one would believe us.
After arriving in the county town, the two found that it was still early, so instead of going straight back to their house, they headed straight to the largest restaurant in the county town.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, and the restaurant wasn't crowded. Lu Chuan carried his basket inside, and the waiter, seeing the two of them with baskets on their backs, didn't delay, but stepped forward and asked, "Would you two like to eat?"
Lu Chuan said, "Waiter, I have some eggs from my own chickens here. I wonder if your restaurant accepts them?"
The waiter replied politely, "I'm so sorry, sir. The eggs in our restaurant are delivered directly from farmers. Today's eggs have already been delivered, so we probably don't need any more for the time being."
Just as Xu Han was about to ask him to inquire with the purchasing department to see if they needed to buy anything more, a young man walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The waiter immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Manager, these two gentlemen are egg sellers. They came to our restaurant to ask if we need to buy eggs."
The innkeeper looked up at the two of them and said with a smile, "Our restaurant's eggs are delivered by special personnel, so we don't need them for the time being. You can ask elsewhere."
Xu Han was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. This was the largest restaurant in the county town, and even they didn't need it. She guessed that other places probably didn't either.
It's understandable that they don't accept eggs from other sellers, since eggs can't be stored for long and will spoil if you buy too many and don't use them all.
Instead of doing that, it's better to buy smaller quantities at once and eat them fresh!
Disappointed as they were, the couple couldn't be impolite since the other party had treated them with courtesy. They politely said goodbye and continued on to the next restaurant.
They went to several restaurants in a row, but the result was the same; they didn't sell a single item.
Xu Han hung her head and said, "What do we do? Is this how it is? Are we really going to have to sell them one by one?"
Lu Chuan said, "Don't rush, it's still early. Let's go back to the house and rest first. In the afternoon, we'll rent a carriage and go to the prefectural city tomorrow."
Xu Han nodded, then cheered up and said, "Alright, let's go to the prefectural city first. Even if we can't sell them there, we can always set up a stall there. There are more people there, and the demand is greater, so we're sure we can sell them."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Let's go back to the house and rest."
The first thing the two did upon arriving at the house was to clean.
The house has been uninhabited for a long time and looks completely deserted.
It seems that once the autumn planting season is over, we need to get started on opening the shop as soon as possible.
When the time comes, just have the servants live in the house and help clean and maintain it in their spare time, so they won't have to clean it next time they come.
Houses that are not inhabited fall into disrepair quickly, and it was autumn, with the yard full of fallen leaves.
Xu Han started cleaning the room where the two of them would sleep that night, while Lu Chuan went to sweep the yard.
After Xu Han finished cleaning the house, Lu Chuan had only swept half of the yard. Xu Han glanced at the fallen leaves all over the ground and said, "Let me sweep with you. It's too much trouble for you to sweep such a big yard by yourself."
Before Lu Chuan could refuse, Xu Han picked up a broom and started working.
