"Yes, you have a good eye. These chicken and duck eggs are all wild. Wild ones are more fragrant." Xu Zhixin nodded and smiled. "You want to ask the price of these things. Do you want to buy some of each?"
"If the price is right, I'll buy a little of everything." The middle-aged woman nodded.
"The chicken is 2.5 yuan a pound, and the duck is also 2.5 yuan a pound. The chicken and duck eggs are the same price, 1.3 cents each. As for the flowered cloth, it's 1.2 yuan a foot."
These prices are what she asked for in the black market in her hometown. She just took a look around the black market and found that the prices here are the same as those in her hometown, with no difference.
"The prices of eggs and floral fabrics are reasonable, but the chickens and ducks are too expensive! They cost two dollars and a half per pound. They should be cheaper." The middle-aged woman said, adding, "There are chickens for sale as soon as you enter the yard. They only charge two dollars per pound for their chickens."
"His is a domestic chicken, how can it compare with my pheasant? The meat of my pheasant and wild duck is much more delicious than that of domestic chicken." Xu Zhixin said.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a man selling chickens. She had seen him when she was walking around the yard before. She happened to see someone asking the price. It was indeed two yuan per pound, but the chicken had not grown up yet. It was only a half-grown chicken. How could it compare with her own pheasant, which was fat and had delicious meat at first glance.
"But you can't be so expensive, 50 cents per pound. So, it's 20 cents cheaper, 2.3 yuan per pound. Just promise that I will buy one chicken and one duck from you, all the eggs and duck eggs from you, and two pieces of flowered cloth from you." The middle-aged woman negotiated.
Xu Zhixin thought that since she was buying so much, she should just agree. The price she offered for chickens and ducks was also quite low, 2.3 yuan, not 2 yuan. If it was 2 yuan, she would not agree.
"Okay, deal." Xu Zhixin said with a smile.
I took out a scale and a ruler. Both were taken from the space. These two things were necessary to weigh chickens and ducks and measure cloth. This was the experience I had from selling things on the black market so many times when I was at my hometown.
It was really inconvenient that she didn't have a scale or a ruler, so when she found ones in the supermarket, she naturally used them without hesitation.
The middle-aged woman quickly picked out a chicken and a duck. When they weighed them, the chicken weighed 25.30 pounds, and the duck was a little heavier, at 15.10 pounds. The middle-aged woman exclaimed that they were so heavy.
"Heavy meat is fragrant, and the heavier and bigger the chicken and duck meat, the better it tastes. When buying chickens and ducks, don't buy small ones if you have money. The small ones have not grown well yet, and the meat is not mature yet. It is astringent, and some are even bitter." Xu Zhixin said with a smile.
The middle-aged woman also knew that chickens and ducks must be big and heavy to be delicious, so she nodded, but she felt a little distressed when she thought that the chicken and duck were very heavy and would cost a lot of money. However, she still decided to buy them. In two days it would be her mother's 60th birthday, and of course she had to have several tables for her 60th birthday. To have several tables, such fat chickens and ducks would be enough.
"You count the money. How much are these chickens and ducks?" the middle-aged woman said to Xu Zhixin.
