Hard times have room

Chapter 972

Only a week later, Xu Rui took Li Hong and Qiu Yu to the alley to buy eggs, and each of them bought ten eggs.

I bought it at the aunt's booth, and the old aunt was very happy. The recent business is quite easy to do, and she is happy.

Baolin didn't go with Xu Rui and the others. One was that she still had [-] eggs to eat and she was not in a hurry. The other was that she knew where the alley where the eggs were sold and planned to buy them herself. She didn't want Xu Rui or others My roommate knows how many eggs she bought, this is private and doesn't want to reveal it.

At noon, Xu Rui came back with Li Hongqiuyu, just in time for lunch, they also invited Bao Lin to eat in the cafeteria together, the four of them were lively.

In the afternoon, Pauline left the school alone with her schoolbag on her back and stood under the booth waiting for the bus. She didn't know how long it would take for the bus to come, so she just waited!In this cold weather, it is thankful that there are vehicles to carry passengers. I can't manage so much.

To be honest, it takes courage to go out in this weather with soft snow. The cold wind is blowing, and Pauline's nose is frozen out.

Pauline didn't mean anything else. She finally found a place that sells vegetables and eggs. She planned to stock up a batch of eggs and put them in the space. Dozens are not too few, hundreds are not too many, anyway Things won't break in her space.

When Pauline shrank her neck and walked to the small alley according to the route, she found that there were far fewer people in the alley than last time. There were only more than 20 people, and there were more than ten stalls, and the rest of them were wearing clothes. Children who come and go and play around, and then people who want to buy things. As we all know, the dishes in the afternoon are much cheaper than the ones in the morning.

The stall owners are all sitting on the thresholds of the houses in the alley. Although this kind of movement cannot resist the cold wind, it is at least much better than standing carelessly in the middle of the alley. Moreover, the tiles above their heads can shield them from the falling rain. Snow, it's a victory if the snow doesn't fall on their heads and shoulders.

The last time she and Xu Rui came here was in the morning, and it didn't snow. This point, I don't know how many times better than now.

Pauline walked all the way past, just glanced at the stalls selling radish vegetables or garlic and ginger, and passed by without much interest.

Suddenly, Baolin saw the stall owner when Xu Rui brought her to buy eggs last time, and she bought their eggs last time.

I don't know if it's because of the old lady's rich experience. Apart from the clothes she wears, she also wears a coir raincoat that tightly surrounds her body. In this regard, she is stronger than others many.

"Ma'am, is this egg still the same as last time?" Pauline squatted down and asked.

She wanted to buy something and leave as soon as possible. This place was much safer than the black market, which made her care less.

"If you can buy all my eggs, it will cost you three cents each. I don't want to stay in this place anymore, old lady. I will leave after selling things." Even if she was talking, the old lady Her hand was also firmly rooted in her cotton pocket, and she had no intention of taking it out at all.

"Then I have to look at your eggs first." Pauline did it herself, removing the straw and cotton covering the egg basket.

These eggs are covered with cotton and straw, and the bottom is covered with straw to prevent the eggs from being frozen into ice lumps.

There are not many eggs in the old lady's basket. At a glance, there are more than 20 eggs, all of which are about the same size, and there are no particularly small eggs.

Native eggs like this are almost the size of a ping-pong ball, and the smaller ones are only bigger than bird eggs. This kind of extremely small eggs are often eggs laid by hens who have just grown up.

"Okay, I want it all, count how many eggs there are!"

After speaking, Pauline counted the eggs by herself. She didn't want to deceive others, but she also didn't want to be deceived. It is the best choice for both parties to count the eggs.

"No, I know how many eggs I have left. It's only 22. If it costs three cents a piece, the total is six cents and six cents. How about it? That's right?" the old lady said with a little complacency.

She used to be an old lady in the countryside who could not read a single word, but since she came to the city and started selling eggs, her brain has been working, and now she can count clearly. Although it took a little time, it was still a big deal. The progress of ordinary old ladies is really incomparable to her.

Pauline chuckled lightly, feeling that the old lady was quite energetic: "That's right, that's the number."

Handing over the money with one hand and the eggs with the other, Pauline put the eggs in her schoolbag and went out to play for a while. After staying in a remote place for a while, she came back immediately, and all the eggs in her schoolbag were put back into the space.

"How do you sell this egg?"

"How many are there?"

"Can you have less?"

Walking along the whole alley, Pauline's schoolbag contained another 35 eggs. This time she went out and never came back, because she had almost bought all the eggs in the whole alley.

Only the last old man saw that she had bought so many eggs, and she was sure that the eggs would be of great use to her. The price was a quarter of each, and Pauline didn't even bother to negotiate the price, so she just gave up.

This time her harvest is still very good, 57 eggs are all three cents each, costing one yuan and seventy cents, which is really cheap.

Two weeks later, she came again by herself, bought 37 eggs, and left just once.

As for her and Xu Rui, the two of them never went to that alley together again. In the dormitory, since Bao Lin ate those twenty eggs, on the surface, she never boiled eggs by herself.

Before their dormitory bought half a bag of coal together in a joint venture. The four people in their dormitory used the coal to cook eggs to heat hot water, and the other three just boiled hot water. After a while, the coal was almost used up, and the coal was bought. A big problem.

Coal is expensive and scarce now, Xu Rui's father could still get some before it snowed, but now it's impossible to buy coal easily with his relationship, he doesn't have that much face.

What's more, the people in their dormitory asked for a little coal every time, so he didn't bother to bother. Anyway, the unfilial girl would be angry with him when she came back, so why should he be so busy!I don't want to care about it at all.

This semester, Xu Rui only went back three times, and every time she went back, she was arguing, and it was difficult for the whole family to sit together and have a peaceful meal.

Before, they were still arguing about seeing each other, but later on, the nature changed. Both Xu's grandma and Xu's father and Xu's mother felt that Xu Rui's heart was wild, and she had become an outright rebellious if she didn't listen to the elders in her family. Yes, very disappointed in her.
