005: Are you a golden egg or a silver egg

Zhao Peng was already prepared for Rui Zongming's statement. He knew Rui Zongming very well. After all, he had taken eggs from their house for five or six years in his previous life.

"Uncle, you also know the situation of our family. I am already seventeen years old, and it is time for me to help out at home. Can I ask, uncle, how much do you charge wholesale for hotels in the city?"

"Well..." Rui Zongming didn't say anything.

This was a business secret and it was not convenient to tell him, but he hesitated and felt that this child was also very courageous and filial, so he still said: "One cent per cent."

In fact, he said more, it is actually one in eight.

People like them who run chicken farms are mainly afraid of trouble. The hotels in the city have a fixed supply, so they don't have to worry about unnecessary things every day. Otherwise, things like eggs will expire if they are pressed for a long time, which will be troublesome.

The retail price is higher, but the risk is also high and accidents are prone to occur. Overall, it is not as good as wholesale.

"I'll give you fifteen cents, uncle. How about you give me 500 and let me try it? I just want to earn some money for my mother's medicine. As you know, our family situation is really tight. I paid for the high school entrance examination."

My dad can’t even take it out.”

To make people willing to retail, he must provide enough temptation, otherwise they will not be particularly bothered by a few cents of profit. Zhao Peng directly offered an extra 5 cents of profit.

Rui Zongming also has a good heart. Although he has a small business mentality, he is generally kind-hearted. When he heard what Zhao Peng said, he sympathized with him.

"You kid, what you said makes my uncle feel distressed. Then you can take 500 of them. I don't charge you 15 cents, so I will take your 10 cents. It just so happened that Nissan recently mentioned 1,200 units, so there is some surplus."

"No, it's only 15 cents as promised. Business people stick to their word, and when they spit, it's like driving a nail. However, I'll come here several times to pick up the goods. What do you think? I'll pick up the eggs you don't use by the way.

Give me two boxes too."

Rui Zongming found that the child spoke seriously and found it interesting, so he said: "Okay, then it's 15 cents. But I also have some first-laid eggs to give to you. No hotel wants them anyway."

"real?!"

What an unexpected gain, Zhao Peng was extremely pleasantly surprised.

First-time laying eggs means that when the laying hens start laying eggs, they will lay some very small eggs, some of which are bigger than pigeon eggs. Basically no one will want them.

"Well, there are probably five or six hundred of them."

Zhao Peng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I can give them away together with the first-laid eggs. Let me give you 2 cents for each egg."

Rui Zongming was stunned.

You kid knows how to do business. People used to get eggs here, and they always tried to haggle the price. When you get there, I said I would give it to you, and you still have to give me money.

"You kid, you talk like a spittle, but what do you mean by farting? I said it's for you, and I don't want a penny. Just take it with me."

"But this is so embarrassing..."

"If you keep nagging me, I won't get you any eggs."

Zhao Peng lamented in his heart that there were so many differences between people. His own uncles were overbearing and vicious and protected each other, but it was people from other families who made him feel warmer.

"Okay, thank you, uncle. Please keep the matter of getting eggs here a secret. I don't want too many people to know about it yet."

"That's no problem. I just don't know how you, a child, can sell so many eggs. When I passed by the street, I saw that the adults were not selling very happily either."

Rui Zongming was still a little worried, thinking that if he couldn't sell a child, he would seem to have deceived the child.

"Just like this, Xiaopeng, you can sell the eggs. If you can't sell them, you can take them back and I'll refund the money to you."

Zhao Peng acted like an adult and said, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. This is the basic quality of a businessman. If you can't sell it, it's my fault. I will never bother you."

"You kid, my uncle has convinced you, just do as you say. Come on, follow your uncle to go in and look at the eggs."

"I won't read it in detail today. I believe in my uncle's character. My sister and Yaweiwei have been good friends for so many years. I still can't trust my uncle. We happened to be attending the market in town today. I want to go directly and give it a try. I'll take 10 first.

Plate 300 eggs, and you will help me with 300 first-laying eggs."

He took out eight more ten-yuan bills and handed them over, "Give Uncle Dan money."

“300 pieces don’t cost so much!”

Zhao Peng said with a smile: "The price is 500. I can't take it all at once, but the money has to be paid to my uncle, so I can't let my uncle worry in vain."

Rui Zongming was completely convinced.

Strictly speaking, he is not a businessman, just a farmer. But it is not true that he has not increased his profits. He has expanded the chicken coop to produce 3,000 chickens, and will definitely do both retail and wholesale in the future.

Zhao Peng's behavior aroused great interest in him, and he was actually looking forward to the development of this young boy.

It is said that since ancient times heroes have emerged from youth!



Zhao Peng tied the egg cartons in the back seat of the car. In his previous life, he had been selling eggs with his father for four or five years, traveling across states and counties, and he was free to do small things like tying egg cartons.

I sneaked home again, found a snakeskin bag, put a bag of wheat straw in it, and then picked up two small portable baskets, and then rode my bicycle to the market in the town.

Towns in the north have always maintained the custom of holding fairs. In the 1990s, the fair became more important. It only happened once every three or four days. People would buy all kinds of daily necessities, vegetables, fruits, etc. they wanted at the market.

wait.

Therefore, the market day is particularly lively.

Zhao Peng rode his bicycle to the street entrance and stopped. One of his mother's uncles sold farm tools at the street entrance. Every time Zhao Peng's family went to the market, he would leave the bicycle with his uncle, which could save 20 cents on the cost of storing the car.

"Uncle, I have to take care of this box of treasures for me."

Zhao Peng took the eggs down and put them under his uncle's feet. There were many thieves at this time and it was easy to lose things.

"Where did you get so many eggs?!"

The uncle watched in surprise as Zhao Peng put large and small eggs into one basket respectively, 50 large eggs and 60 small eggs.

The gaps are filled with wheat straw, and the eggs are covered by the earthy wheat straw, making them look rustic.

"I want to do business like you."

Zhao Peng has always been very naughty in front of his uncle. The uncle wanted to say something, but suddenly a guest came and he went to work. When he finished, he found that Zhao Peng had disappeared into the crowd with the eggs.

This child, he shook his head, it's really good that he can still laugh like that at home. I heard that he is also doing well in studies, so Yali's hard work is not in vain.

My uncle always feels sorry for his niece.



There is a Tutu Temple in the west of the town, which is said to have existed in the Ming Dynasty.

At the entrance of the temple is the place where eggs are sold.

However, there were only two people selling eggs at this time. They were all local eggs collected from farmers’ own homes. They collected more than 2 cents and sold them at 30 cents. They were collecting and selling at the same time, so they couldn’t sell many eggs every day.

The rest are the eggs brought by the farmers themselves. Those who are not willing to sell them to dealers want to sell them for a few cents more. A few dozen eggs can earn one or two yuan more.

But most farmers are busy and are not willing to waste a few extra cents at the market. If they can't sell, they have to take it back. If one or two are broken, they will lose money completely.

Zhao Peng ruffled his hair and walked over with an egg basket in one hand.

He was immediately noticed by the egg seller.

A man quickly came up to pull a basket and asked enthusiastically: "Young man, they sell eggs!"

Zhao Peng smiled shyly and said, "Sell."

"How much does one cost?"

"Do you want a big one or a small one?" Zhao Peng asked.

"What's big and what's small?" The two dealers grabbed each one, fearing that the other would take it away.

"Big chickens lay big eggs, and little chickens lay small eggs. So there are big eggs and there are small eggs."

Zhao Peng used almost all his acting skills in his previous life here. He had to pretend to be stupid in order to make others think he was stupid. Often people always want to take advantage of those they think are stupid.

"Then how do you sell your big eggs, and how do you sell your small eggs?"

"Big eggs cost 5 cents, small eggs cost 2 cents."

Upon hearing this, the dealer curled his lips and let go, "Are these golden eggs? You still sell them for fifty cents."
