Chapter 43: Crowded and packed with people (1 / 2)



"Little brother, you are really good at calculating!" Xu Zhixin couldn't help but be amused when she heard the man's calculation and chuckled.

It's a good thing he thought of exchanging his chestnuts for his chicken.

But his chestnuts are good, and they will definitely taste good when fried. Besides, they do look like they weigh more than 30 kilograms, so it's worth exchanging them.

Or just agree to his exchange, put these thirty pounds of chestnuts into the space, and fry some when you want to eat them.

"Uncle, please help me, just agree to it!" the man begged.

"The children at home always want to eat eggs, but my family is poor and cannot afford to buy chickens, so naturally there are no eggs. Occasionally, I can buy some eggs from neighbors who have chickens for the children to eat. But the children at home are very greedy for eggs. They want to eat them every day and always cry. As a father, I feel so sad when I hear and see them.

I was lucky yesterday and found wild chestnuts in the mountains. I thought of removing the shells and selling them on the black market. With the money, I bought two chickens to raise at home. The chickens lay eggs every day, and my children can eat eggs every day. They will never cry because they can't eat eggs...

But I have only sold more than ten kilograms of chestnuts so far, and I got more than ten yuan, which is not enough to buy two chickens. I am really worried that I won’t be able to sell all the chestnuts today...

If I can’t sell them all, I won’t be able to buy two chickens to raise at home, so I thought of exchanging them with you for two pheasants… Pheasants can also lay eggs and can be raised at home.” The man spoke pitifully, with a pitiful expression on his face.

"As you enter the yard, there's a man selling chickens. They're domestic chickens, two yuan a pound, which is cheaper than mine. You can actually buy one from him. It's better than exchanging one with me. If you exchange one with me, according to your calculation, you'll be at a disadvantage." Xu Zhixin said.

Although she was planning to agree to his offer and exchange with him, she felt sorry for him because he sounded pitiful. She thought that his family was poor, and for his own good, she should suggest that he use the money he earned from selling chestnuts to buy a cheap chicken to raise at home, and keep the more than 30 kilograms of chestnuts to continue selling so that he could make more money.

"Uncle, you don't know that I have to save a few dollars from the ten dollars to buy other things, so I can't do as you say. Uncle, please have pity on me and agree to exchange with me!" The man shook his head and sighed, begged again, and bowed with both hands.

Seeing this, Xu Zhixin felt that she couldn't bear it.

"Don't be like this, I promise you." Xu Zhixin said hurriedly.

When the man heard Xu Zhixin agreed, he was so happy that he thanked her repeatedly.

Xu Zhixin gave the two pheasants to the man, but she didn't weigh them before giving them to him. Since she was going to exchange them, there was no need to weigh them to see how heavy they were, and to calculate her loss or gain. Boring!

After the man got the two pheasants, he thanked Xu Zhixin again and praised her for being a good person and said she would live a long life.

After receiving more than 30 kilograms of chestnuts from the man, Xu Zhixin had no intention of weighing them, because she was already carrying more than 30 kilograms, so there was no need to weigh exactly how many kilograms there were. Anyway, even if it was not the number the man said, it would not be much different.

After the man gave the chestnuts to Xu Zhixin, he happily walked out with the two pheasants and left the black market.

Xu Zhixin stayed where she was and continued selling floral fabrics.

Although the chicken and duck eggs are gone, there are still many pieces of floral cloth that have not been sold out.

Xu Zhixin accidentally reached into her pocket and touched the Rolex, and then she remembered the watch.

Shuangmei blinked. Now only the floral cloth is left to sell. Why not take out the Rolex to sell now?

Xu Zhixin nodded in her heart and decided to do it this way.

Xu Zhixin took out her Rolex and held it in her hand. Just then she saw a well-dressed man approaching her, so she called out, "Young man, do you want to buy a watch?"

She was worried that the watches would be difficult to sell, so she thought that she couldn't wait for customers to come like she did when selling chicken and duck eggs and floral fabrics. She had to take the initiative and attract customers. After all, it was just a matter of opening her mouth, and it wasn't difficult, and there was no loss.

The man looked at the watch on Xu Zhixin's hand, and his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen some treasure. He immediately ran to her, stared at the Rolex on her hand and asked how much it cost.
