Chapter 4 How much is a pound of eggs?
Passing by the market, Wang Lin took out a stack of big unity and handed it to Li Wenxiu: "You take this money, go buy some vegetables and cook at home."

"Where did you get the money?" Li Wenxiu asked, not accepting the money.

"I won it!" Wang Lin giggled, "The winning streak comes with bonuses, a total of [-] yuan!"

"They really gave you money? I thought they were joking!" Li Wenxiu also showed a rare smile.

This was the first time she smiled in front of Wang Lin, it was as beautiful as a rose blooming.

Wang Lin was someone who had seen beautiful women before, but at the moment he was still attracted by her pretty face without makeup, filters or beauty.

He put the money into her hand: "You take the flowers! Although there is a pre-divorce agreement. But you promised to help me with the housework, and I have to support you, right? I can't let you work in my house for nothing Right? You buy the vegetables and go home first, I still have something to do."

"Are you going to drink again?" The smile on Li Wenxiu's face disappeared immediately.

"Hehe, aren't you going to get a divorce? Don't worry about me?" Wang Lin laughed.

"You, you came back drunk, you're going to hit me again—"

"Don't worry, I won't hit you. I'm not going to drink. I cut off all those wine and meat friends in the past! By the way, you remember to pay back the money for the deep-fried dough sticks from Uncle Chen's house." Wang Lin smiled, turned the faucet, and went Ride across the street.

Li Wenxiu counted the money, and it was ten cards of Great Unity!
She squeezed the one hundred yuan in her hand and looked at his back, unable to tell what it was like.

Wang Lin came to the state-run non-staple food market.

It's not closed yet!

"Comrade, are there any eggs for sale?" Wang Lin asked.

"Isn't that all!" The salesperson was a little girl, she drew a circle around the place where the eggs were placed with her hand, and asked with a smile, "How many catties do you want to buy?"

"How much is a pound?"

"One yuan and fifty cents per catty!"

"[-] yuan, how many catties can you buy?"

"What?" The salesperson's eyes widened in surprise, "Comrade, how much do you think you want to buy?"

"Four hundred dollars! I bought them all!" Wang Lin took out four hundred dollars, a thick stack of big unity, and slapped it on the glass counter, which made the glass cabinet rattle. "Isn't the non-staple food in our city already Have you let go of the price and opened up the supply? Isn’t there a limit on the quantity you can buy?”

Only then did the salesperson believe that this man was not here to tease the little girl, and said seriously: "Comrade, the retail price of eggs is one yuan and fifty cents per catty. Because the new year has just passed, the price now is not cheap. You buy so many , I can’t finish it at home, so it’s better to buy a few catties first, and after a while, the price of eggs has dropped, so you can buy them again.”

"I'm useful." Wang Lin said, "That's all I can buy."

"Are you the buyer of the food factory? No, the food factory buys goods on the farm itself! You are wearing the uniform of the textile factory. You should be a worker, right? Do you want to buy it in the cafeteria of your factory?"

Wang Lin smiled without saying a word, keeping a certain amount of mystery.

The salesperson quickly calculated in his mind and said, "Comrade, for 400 yuan, you can buy 266.7 catties."

"Okay, can you deliver the goods?" Wang Lin asked.

"Is it far?"

"It's not far, it's in the textile factory building."

"Alright then, wait a moment, I'll tell the director and ask him to arrange a car to take you there."

"Comrade, tell your director one more time, prepare more eggs tomorrow, I want more."

"How much do you want?"

"Two thousand dollars!"

"2000 yuan? That's 1333 catties!" The salesperson did the calculation very quickly, and reported the amount directly without using the abacus.

"Yes, I'm afraid you don't have so much in stock, so you didn't bring so much money today."

"Wait, I'll report to the director now."

The salesperson went in for a while, then came out and said, "Our director is not here. I told the people in the warehouse, and they will send a car to deliver it to your door right now."

"Then remember to report to your director that I want eggs worth 2000 yuan tomorrow."

"Okay, I can't forget. We buy goods at night, and the goods don't enter the city until early in the morning. Let's call the farm and tell them to prepare an extra truckload of eggs and go to the city."

"Thank you, comrade!" Wang Lin nodded.

After a while, Wang Lin led the way on a bicycle, and took the delivery master from the non-staple food market, and dragged more than two hundred catties of fresh eggs downstairs to his house.

Wang Lin handed a cigarette to the driver: "Master, do me a favor and help me move up to the second floor."

"Okay!" The driver, a young man in his thirties, readily agreed.

Wang Lin carried a box of eggs to the house.

In the aisle came the smell of cooking from various restaurants, including choking chili fried pork and fragrant mushroom stewed chicken.

Aunt Chen was cooking, when she saw Wang Lin walking over with a big box in her arms, she asked, "What did you buy?"

"egg!"

"Hey! You just got married, what kind of wedding are you going to do? Do you have so much money?"

"Hehe!" Wang Lin smiled without saying a word.

As soon as he reached the door of his house, Wang Lin suddenly heard a scream coming from the room.

Li Wenxiu shouted in horror: "What are you doing? Don't touch me!"

The door was ajar, Wang Lin kicked the door open, and saw a man with a playful smile facing Li Wenxiu, Li Wenxiu had a look of panic and disgust, holding a spoon in his hand, gesticulating in the air, vigilantly preventing him from approaching.

This man is none other than Wang Lin's former drinking and meat friend Liu Kun.

Wang Lin knew what happened with just one glance, and sneered heavily.

Seeing him coming back, Li Wenxiu immediately ran to his side: "Wang Lin, he wants to bully me!"

Liu Kun touched his face, restrained his complexion, and smiled nonchalantly: "Wang Lin, I'm your best buddy, and I even invited you to the sisters dance hall! You won't believe what a woman says, no Believe me? I'm here to ask you to go out for a drink! I just chatted with my siblings about life and ideals!"

Wang Lin put down the egg carton, walked in front of Liu Kun, grabbed his neck, stared at his eyes, suddenly raised his leg, and pressed it heavily against his stomach.Both hands pressed his body down heavily at the same time.

Bang!
Hit a solid!
Where did Liu Kun think that Wang Lin would turn his back on him if he said he would turn his back on him?You are still so ruthless!

He had stomach cramps from the pain, his stomach was churning, his tongue stuck out half an inch, and he couldn't speak a word for a long time.

Hitting a snake will kill you, and hitting a person will hurt you!
Wang Lin didn't expect to spare him so easily, so he grabbed his neck, pushed hard against the wall, kicked him on the lower abdomen, and said in a deep voice, "Cao you, you are so impatient!" Is it? My Wang Lin's woman, you dare to make up your mind? Liangkun, don't let me see you again! See you once and hit me once! Get out!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Liu Kun by the neck, pushed out, and kicked his ass again.

Liu Kun jumped forward and fell to the ground, just hitting his teeth!
He got up, let out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and looked at Wang Lin with fear and resentment: "Okay, you dare to hit me! You, you..."

Wang Lin raised eyebrows, took a step forward, and pretended to kick him again.

Liu Kun backed away in shock, and ran out the door without even having time to say a word on the scene.

Li Wenxiu hid aside tremblingly, watching Wang Lin beat Liu Kun away.

She looked at her husband again as if she didn't recognize her.

Is this person really that ignorant bastard Wang Lin?That Wang Lin who drank and played cards with Liu Kun and his ilk all day, calling them brothers?

At this time, the driver had already brought up the rest of the eggs, stretched out his thumb, grinned and said, "Brother, he's a man! Such bastards should be taught a lesson!"

Wang Lin handed him another cigarette: "Thank you, Master!"

The driver waved his hand and went downstairs.

There are 300 eggs in a box, about 36 catties.

266.7 catties of eggs, seven and a half boxes!

The boxes were neatly stacked in the living room, taking up more than half of the already insufficient space.

After Li Wenxiu calmed down, she was shocked by these large boxes: "Wang Lin, what are these?"

"egg."

"Hiss! Why are you buying so many eggs?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "These days, the house will be more crowded, and your room will be full of boxes, don't you mind?"

"You haven't told me yet, why did you buy so many eggs? You spent all the four hundred dollars on you?"

"Well, it's all here!" Wang Lin patted the egg box lightly.

Li Wenxiu swayed, almost unable to stand still: "What are you going to do? Four hundred yuan! Do you know how useful it can be? You bought all the eggs? Are you going to sell tea eggs?"

"Sell tea eggs? Hehe, no!"

"Although it's winter now, these eggs won't last long!"

"It doesn't take too long, it's enough to keep fresh for ten days and half a month!"

"and then?"

"Don't worry about it, you'll know when the time comes!"

"..."

What happened to this man?
It's true that he stopped playing cards, stopped drinking, and even changed his temperament from beating women to beating men, but it's not normal to spend so much money and spend so much money!

Could it be that last night, he hit the wall and smashed his head?
