Chapter 529 Selling Eggs 2
After a while, the two of them finally cleaned up the fallen leaves in the surrounding yard. Xu Han said, "It's getting late, let's go eat first, and clean up the rest in the afternoon.
Anyway, we have nothing to do this afternoon, so we might as well clean up the fallen leaves in the front and back yards. Otherwise, the fallen leaves will rot over time, and it will definitely be difficult to clean up then."
"Okay, let's go. I'm hungry too. Let's go eat first and then take a nap. I got up early today and did so much work this morning. I feel a little tired."
The two of them walked towards the side hall while talking, and when they woke up from their lunch break, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Xu Han stretched lazily, looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Let's go. The sun is not shining outside anymore. The cool autumn weather is perfect for work."
Lu Chuan laughed and said, "How come you are still addicted to it?"
"Hahaha, isn't it? Sweeping fallen leaves is the most stress-relieving thing. After you have swept all the fallen leaves, you will look back and feel a sense of accomplishment."
Lu Chuan smiled helplessly and said, "It's just you who likes to do this kind of work."
"The main reason is that they have been responsible for all the housework at home recently, and I have no place to use my skills for a while.
After not doing housework for such a long time, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable to be free all of a sudden? "
Lu Chuan tapped Xu Han's forehead and said lovingly, "You!"
Xu Han smiled without saying anything, then pulled Lu Chuan out.
The couple worked until the sun went down and then they stopped to rest.
Xu Han took out the fruit from the space and gave it to Lu Chuan to wash.
These are fruits that are not suitable for this season, and they usually have to eat them away from others at home. But here, with just the two of them, they can finally sit in the pavilion in the yard and eat the fruits openly.
Xu Han was eating apricots while admiring the scenery in the backyard, feeling so comfortable.
The scenery here is all man-made, which is completely different from the scenery in the mountains. The two have completely different artistic conception.
Xu Han said, "It would be great if our backyard in the mountains could be this big."
The house in the mountains is a very standard farmhouse courtyard. Most of the area is paved with bluestone slabs, and the main feature is that it can be used to dry grain.
The backyard here has mountains and water, which makes it a convenient place for entertainment and relaxation.
Lu Chuan said, "Do you want it? If so, we will demolish the yard and rebuild it next year."
Xu Han waved her hand and said, "That's not necessary. Each has its own advantages. Our home in the valley is suitable for that kind of small courtyard.
If you ever want to live in a courtyard like this, just come to the county town directly."
Lu Chuan also felt that the yard in the valley was better. It was built by the two of them together. It was very warm and had a homey feel.
But this place always feels a bit weird, and it's too big and empty. There will be many servants here in the future, and it won't have the warmth of home. So it can only be regarded as a house, not a home.
The two chatted for a while, and when it gradually darkened, they went to the night market together and stopped by a restaurant to have some food.
The next day, early in the morning, Lu Chuan drove the carriage he had rented yesterday afternoon and took Xu Han straight to the city.
After arriving at the county town, the two first went to the inn, rested for a while, and then went out.
This is Xu Han's second time coming to the provincial capital, and there are some differences compared to the first time.
Because of the war, there are obviously fewer people in the city than before.
Now that I have finally arrived in the city, I must go out for a walk.
Moreover, the consumption of daily necessities at home is high now, and it is time to replenish some department store items.
So this time, before she even started making money, Xu Han already started shopping.
After a round of sweeping, Xu Han looked at the two people's backpacks that were full, and couldn't help feeling happy.
Lu Chuan said, "Let's find a place to eat first, and then continue shopping after dinner."
Xu Han shook her head. "No more shopping. We are so tired after sitting in a carriage for a whole day. Let's go back and rest after dinner. We can continue shopping tomorrow after we wake up."
Lu Chuan pointed in a direction and said, "Okay, let's go over there. When I passed by there just now, I saw that there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant over there. The food should be good."
Xu Han waved his hand generously and said, "Okay, let's go to that restaurant. Last time we came here, we didn't eat out much in order to save money.
Now that we have many shops, we don't have to save money. Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant.
Let's try the food in this city and see what it tastes like."
Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han and found it very funny. If he knew the term nouveau riche, he would definitely describe her like this. There was no other meaning. Xu Han's current appearance really fits the description.
The two came to the restaurant and asked the waiter to recommend some signature dishes. Lu Chuan ordered a few dishes according to their tastes.
Seeing Xu Han eating with great relish, Lu Chuan asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
The woman ate without even looking up and said, "Well, the food here is really good. Come and try it."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of mutton for him with his chopsticks and started eating it by himself.
After eating and drinking, the two called the waiter to settle the bill. Xu Han asked, "Brother Xiaoer, we have some chickens at home and we have a lot of eggs. I wonder if you would like to buy them."
When the waiter heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, yes. In the past, our restaurant's eggs were delivered by farmers, but the farmers' eggs are a bit insufficient these days. The shopkeeper even asked someone to go to the market to buy some tomorrow!"
Xu Han laughed after hearing this. She really encountered this.
Xu Han asked, "I wonder how much each egg costs?"
Asking clearly will make it easier to negotiate the price later.
The waiter did not hide it and said frankly, "Ordinary people buy them for one cent each, and restaurants buy large quantities, so they usually buy ten for nine cents.
This price is fixed. You only pay this price if you buy more than 100 at a time. This price is not only in our restaurant, but also in other restaurants. Madam, you can find out by asking around."
After hearing this, Xu Han had an idea in her mind. It seemed that the price was more expensive than what she sold at home, but this was understandable.
Ordinary people raise chickens to sell eggs, and those who raise chickens are all farmers, so naturally they will not give away even a penny for nothing.
Lu Chuan said, "We have a lot of eggs at home. You can ask your shopkeeper how many you need. If you want more, you can get a cheaper price."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll go call our boss over." After the waiter said this, he disappeared in a flash.
The two waited for a while, and a middle-aged man with a big belly came over.
He asked out loud, "Are you two going to buy eggs?"
