Although I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so delicious, it's somehow addictive. It makes you want to keep eating it.
Zhao Xiaohe had been observing Liu Yunniang's changes, and seeing that her reaction was quite good, he said, "Auntie, you also think it tastes very good, right? Let me tell you, this preserved egg is very popular in the restaurant run by the aunt in our village."
Liu Yunniang hesitated. She thought it tasted pretty good. But she wasn't sure if she could sell it in a restaurant.
She asked, somewhat intrigued, "How much do you sell them for?"
"Two coins each."
Two coins... Eggs at the market cost one coin each. These have been processed, so two coins is really not expensive.
Moreover, two preserved eggs mixed with some tofu can make a dish.
If this were in her shop, selling a dish for ten coins wouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang said, "Alright then, you two give me ten first."
Zhao Xiaohe and He Shitou were overjoyed and quickly counted out ten preserved eggs from the basket.
They exchanged money for eggs, and in just a short time, they made twenty coins, which was much better than what they made at the docks.
Before leaving, Zhao Xiaohe did not forget to give some instructions.
"Auntie, if you need anything again later, you must buy from me. We'll be a regular customer."
The two of them had a great start and were very happy.
Following this pattern, the two of them negotiated deals with four more companies. And it only took them one morning.
They brought a total of forty preserved eggs, and after deducting the free ones they gave away, they sold them for a total of sixty coins.
The two of them had never seen so much money before. Clutching their tattered money bags, they walked down the street like thieves.
They were both parched from talking all morning, but neither of them dared to stop at a roadside tea stall for a drink of water before hurrying home.
Because it was the first time they had carried so much money, they were afraid of losing it, and even more afraid of it being stolen.
Having made money, Zhao Xiaohe and He Shitou returned home in high spirits.
He couldn't hide his joy as he entered the house. From the moment he stepped into the courtyard, He Shitou shouted at the top of his lungs, "Sister, sister!"
He Tiantian didn't come out, but she did call out Zhao Xiaolü.
She gave He Shitou a disapproving look and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Don't wake Mingzhu up."
He Shitou immediately covered his mouth. Right, he had forgotten about it.
Normally, Xiao Mingzhu would take a nap two hours before lunch and then wake up.
Seeing Zhao Xiaolu's excitement, He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe asked curiously, "Is there any new progress in the preserved egg business?"
These past few days, Shi Tou has been talking about selling preserved eggs every day at home, to the point that she's been dreaming about selling preserved eggs every night.
I'm speechless. Heaven knows how tiring it must have been for her to make these preserved eggs.
He Shitou nodded happily and lowered his voice to recount what had happened that morning.
It wasn't as difficult as he had imagined; on the contrary, he found it to be a very interesting thing.
Zhao Xiaolu was also very happy that so many people liked her preserved eggs, which was a recognition of her skills.
