Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 532 Selling Eggs 5

The buyer gave an address and left with his entourage.

Xu Han took the order and said, "It's okay, you go and deliver it. There aren't many people here right now, I can handle it myself.

Besides, this is a vegetable market, what could possibly happen in broad daylight? You should drive the carriage and deliver it quickly, don’t delay.”

Knowing that she would go to the vegetable market to sell things today, Xu Han specially picked out a piece of coarse cotton clothes that was neither bad nor bad from the space when she went out.

In addition, she has been living in the mountains for a long time and has been a little tanned. Although she is a little pretty, she is not to the point of being able to confuse people.

Xu Han was somewhat aware of her appearance. If she dressed up properly, she might have some aura. But now she could only dress simply, which made her look only slightly better.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan said nothing more. He knew his wife very well and was sure she could handle this situation.

"Well, I'll try to come back soon."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he was about to drive the carriage. Xu Han quickly pretended to ask Lu Chuan to take out four baskets of eggs from the carriage.

Lu Chuan understood it instantly and took off the backpack and put it on the ground.

After Lu Chuan left, Xu Han restocked the stall with eggs. During this time, some people came to buy eggs. Fortunately, she could handle it by herself for the time being.

After a while, Lu Chuan came back with breakfast. Xu Han happily took the breakfast from Lu Chuan and said, "Your breakfast came just in time. I was starving."

After that, he started eating without caring about his image. Lu Chuan asked, "How was it? Nothing went wrong, right?"

Xu Han slurred her words while eating, "No, no, everything is fine, and we sold quite a few!"

Lu Chuan said, "I suddenly thought of a good idea. Why don't we go to the back door of a wealthy family and sell eggs? They have a large family and will buy a lot of eggs at once, which is much faster than us selling them bit by bit."

Xu Han thought about it and realized that what Lu Chuan said was indeed right, but she had already told the customers who came to buy in the morning that she would continue to sell here at noon. It would be a bad idea if she changed her mind and left at this time. Wouldn't those people have made a wasted trip then?

She told Lu Chuan about her concerns, and Lu Chuan said, "That's right, then we'll continue to set up the stall here in the morning and go to the rich area in the afternoon."

"Okay, let's do it."

After Xu Han finished her breakfast, she sat aside and started stringing copper coins with a rope, one hundred coins per string. There were quite a lot of copper coins in the small box.

In just one morning, the duck eggs, goose eggs and chicken eggs together sold for nearly four taels of silver, which was quite a lot.

Xu Han held the copper coin and smiled, "Hehehe, I didn't expect to sell so many in just this morning.

At this rate, I'm afraid we'll sell even more at noon."

"Yes, we sold quite a lot. Most of the money came from the sale of eggs. Many people bought salted duck eggs, and some bought goose eggs, but fewer people bought duck eggs.

Ordinary people don’t know how to pickle duck eggs, and they can’t do it well after buying them. It seems that I will pickle some duck eggs when I get home.”

"That's what I thought. I'll pickle more duck eggs when I get back and sell them in the shop when it opens."

After finishing breakfast, I rested for a while next to the stall. Then, more people came out to buy vegetables.

However, at this time, there were many more wealthy families coming to buy goods, and Lu Chuan did not have time to deliver the goods door to door. He left the address and promised to deliver it in the afternoon.

Fortunately, they were all easy to talk to, and after I gave them a few eggs, they didn't say anything. They just left their addresses and left.

Unexpectedly, there were many more people coming to buy salted duck eggs at noon, and many of them came back to buy after having bought them in the morning.

One sister-in-law said, “After I bought it this morning, I was too lazy to cook it, so I just cooked it for my family. I didn’t expect that my family liked it so much.

The salted duck eggs are all very juicy, fragrant and sandy. My family is urging me to buy some more so that I can save them for their morning porridge."

When the people nearby saw that the sister-in-law bought twenty at once, they couldn't help but buy a few to try.

Salted duck eggs were selling like hot cakes for a while. Fortunately, Xu Han had enough stock, otherwise they would not be enough to sell.

This situation continued until after lunch, when people gradually stopped coming to the stall.

Lu Chuan looked at the sky and said, "Let's close the stall. It's getting late. Let's go have lunch first and then go deliver the goods."

"Okay, let's go! If we're lucky we can sell a lot this afternoon."

After they finished talking, the two began to pack up their stall. People standing by had been extremely envious of the couple's booming business throughout the morning, and now they were envious again when they saw them packing up so early.

However, after looking at the carriage they were driving, no one dared to show up to cause trouble.

In those days, most people couldn't afford a horse-drawn carriage. Everyone who came to the market to buy vegetables carried a basket on their back. The best ones could only ride in an ox-drawn cart.

Moreover, those who came to the market to buy vegetables were all ordinary farmers, honest farmhands. Even if there were some short-sighted people, they would be immediately turned away after seeing Lu Chuan's sturdy figure and unruly appearance.

After lunch, without taking a nap, Xu Han took Lu Chuan directly to the wealthy area.

The couple first delivered the morning's order to the address, and then knocked on the back door of the house next door to make some sales.

But the result is different. Some people are easy to talk to. If you need it, you can buy it. If you don’t need it, you can just politely refuse.

There are also those who are difficult to talk to. When they see someone selling something, they start scolding him/her without asking their superiors and just directly refuse.

Just now, Lu Chuan was locked outside the door by a servant, who was cursing and making personal attacks.

Xu Han looked at Lu Chuan's face, which was not very good, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're still laughing. I've been bullied."

Xu Han touched Lu Chuan's head teasingly and said, "Hahaha, ouch, look how wronged you are. Don't be sad, I will compensate you after I go back."

Sure enough, when the man heard this, he stopped pretending and instead smiled and took Xu Han's arm, looking like a little bird.

Xu Han said it was so disgusting that she couldn't bear to watch it.

As soon as the two of them left, the family that had just insulted Lu Chuan opened the back door, and a man who looked like a manager came out and shouted at the two of them.

"Wait a moment, both of you. I wonder if you are the egg vendors in the market. The man below was ignorant just now and offended you. I apologize to you two on his behalf."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han and Lu Chuan stopped, turned around and looked. The two looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
