The purchasing agent gave an address and then left with his entourage.
Xu Han took the order and said, "It's okay, you go deliver it. There aren't many people around right now, I can manage by myself."
Besides, this is a market; what could possibly happen in broad daylight? You should hurry and deliver it in the carriage; don't delay it.”
Knowing she was going to sell things at the market today, Xu Han specially picked out a mediocre cotton coat from her spatial storage before leaving home.
In addition, having lived deep in the mountains for a long time, she had become quite tanned. Although she was somewhat attractive, she wasn't attractive enough to bewitch people.
Xu Han was quite aware of her own appearance. If she dressed up properly, she might have some presence, but now that she dressed plainly, she could only be considered slightly good-looking.
Lu Chuan didn't say anything more after hearing this. He knew his wife very well, and she could definitely handle this situation.
"Okay, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
As soon as Lu Chuan finished speaking, he was about to drive the carriage when Xu Han quickly pretended to ask Lu Chuan to take out four baskets of eggs from the carriage.
Lu Chuan immediately understood and took the basket off his back and put it on the ground.
After Lu Chuan left, Xu Han restocked the eggs on her stall. A few more people came to buy eggs during this time. Fortunately, she could manage on her own for the time being.
A short while later, Lu Chuan returned with breakfast. Xu Han happily accepted the breakfast from Lu Chuan and said, "Your breakfast came just in time. I was starving."
After saying that, he started eating heartily without caring about his image. Lu Chuan asked, "How is it? Nothing went wrong, right?"
Xu Han mumbled through her food, "No, no, everything is fine, and we've even sold quite a few!"
Lu Chuan said, "I suddenly had a good idea. Why don't we go to the back door of a wealthy family and sell our eggs? They have a lot of people in their family, so they will buy a lot of eggs at once, which will be much faster than us selling them little by little."
Xu Han thought about it again and realized that Lu Chuan was right. However, she had already told the customers who came to buy in the morning that it would be fine to continue selling here at noon. If she changed her mind and left now, it would be bad. Wouldn't those people have made a wasted trip?
She told Lu Chuan about her concerns, and Lu Chuan said, "That's right. Let's continue setting up our stall here in the morning and go to the wealthy area in the afternoon."
"Okay, let's do it this way."
After finishing breakfast, Xu Han sat down and started stringing copper coins together with a rope. One hundred coins were strung together in a string, and the small box contained quite a lot of copper coins.
In just one morning, the duck eggs, goose eggs, and chicken eggs sold for a total of nearly four taels of silver, which was quite a lot.
Xu Han held up the copper coins and laughed, "Hehehe, I didn't expect to sell so many in just one morning."
At this rate, I'm afraid we'll sell even more at noon.
"Yes, quite a few are sold. Most of the money comes from selling chicken eggs, but quite a few people also buy salted duck eggs and goose eggs, but fewer people buy duck eggs."
Ordinary families don't know how to pickle eggs, and even if they bought some, they wouldn't be able to do it well. Looks like I'll have to pickle some duck eggs when I get home.
"That's what I was thinking too. I'll pickle more duck eggs when I get back and sell them in the shop when it opens."
After finishing breakfast, I rested for a while by the stall, and then more people started coming out to buy groceries.
However, at this time, there were many more large households coming to buy, and Lu Chuan didn't have time to deliver the goods to each household. He left his address and promised to deliver them in the afternoon.
Fortunately, they were all easy-going people. After giving them a few eggs, they didn't say anything more, left their address, and left.
Surprisingly, there were many more people buying salted duck eggs at noon, many of whom were repeat customers who had bought them in the morning.
One woman said, "After buying it this morning, I was too lazy to cook any other dishes, so I just boiled it for my family. I didn't expect them to like it so much."
The salted duck eggs are all oozing oil, fragrant and sandy; my family has been urging me to buy some more so they can have them with porridge in the morning.
Seeing that the woman had bought twenty at once, the people nearby couldn't help but buy a few to try as well.
Salted duck eggs sold like hotcakes, and luckily Xu Han had enough stock, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough to go around.
This situation continued until after lunchtime, when the stalls gradually became empty.
Lu Chuan glanced at the sky and said, "Let's pack up and leave. It's getting late. Let's have lunch first, and then we'll go deliver the goods."
"Alright, let's go! If we're lucky, we can sell quite a few this afternoon."
After they finished speaking, the couple started packing up their stall. The people on the side who had been watching the couple's booming business all morning were extremely envious, and now seeing them packing up so early made them even more envious.
However, after seeing the carriage they were driving, no one dared to step forward and cause trouble.
These days, ordinary families couldn't afford horse-drawn carriages. Everyone who came to the market to buy vegetables carried a basket on their back. The better off would at most take an oxcart.
Moreover, those who come to the market to buy vegetables are ordinary farmers and honest peasants. Even if there are some who are not discerning, they will back down immediately after seeing Lu Chuan's strong physique and intimidating appearance.
After lunch, without even taking a nap, Xu Han dragged Lu Chuan directly to the wealthy area.
The couple first delivered the morning's orders to the addresses they found, and then, after finishing the deliveries, they knocked on the back door of the neighbor's house to make some sales pitches.
However, the outcome was different. Some were easy to talk to; if they needed it, they would buy it, and if they didn't, they would politely refuse.
There are also those who are difficult to talk to; they will start cursing at anyone who comes to sell something, without even asking their superiors, and simply refuse them outright.
Sure enough, Lu Chuan was just locked out by a servant, who was also cursing and making personal attacks.
Xu Han couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Chuan's rather unpleasant expression.
"You're still laughing? I've been bullied."
Xu Han patted Lu Chuan's head teasingly and said, "Haha, oh dear, look how wronged you are. Don't be sad, I'll make it up to you when we get back."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man stopped pretending and instead smiled and took Xu Han's arm, acting like a little bird clinging to her.
Xu Han exclaimed that it was an eyesore and she couldn't bear to look at it.
Just as the two left, the family that had insulted Lu Chuan opened the back door, and a man who looked like the person in charge came out and shouted at the two figures.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I don't know if you are egg vendors at the market. My servant was ignorant and offended you. I apologize on his behalf."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han and Lu Chuan stopped and turned around to look. They exchanged a glance, wondering what was going on.
