Chapter 86 Buying Duck Eggs

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wu had a rare lazy bed.

After Li Shishi arrived at the restaurant, Mrs. Wu just got up to wash up.

She leaned against the door and looked at Mrs. Wu and joked: "Okay, little lady is getting more and more bedridden now. The child born in the future will not be a slob like you."

Mrs. Wu poured water on the ground, looked at Li Shishi and smiled: "Then you godmother don't have to worry."

The two were talking, when Aunt Wu's voice came from outside the door: "Look at the excitement in this room, what good things can you say, tell me, the old lady, to listen too."

Li Shishi turned her head, looked at Aunt Wu and said with a smile: "You are right, this is really a great thing."

Then she glanced at Mrs. Wu again, seeing that she turned around shyly to enter the house, Li Shishi said, "Why don't you tell your mother about this great thing?"

Aunt Wu was confused, she put the bundle by the table, looked at the mysterious two people and asked: "What's the matter, look at each of you, could it be that you went out to pick up gold ingots today?"

Wu shook her head shyly, her voice was as low as a mosquito: "Mom, I have it."

"What? What's the matter?" Aunt Wu was startled when she heard this.

Looking at her mother-in-law who had the same reaction as her husband, Wu smiled and said, "Look, this is really a family. They all have the same reaction."

She covered her mouth and laughed for a long time, Li Shishi also laughed, and then said: "What's the matter, you have a grandson."

When Aunt Wu heard this, she was really stunned for a long time, she couldn't believe it.

Looking at Wu Shi, he asked, "Really?"

Wu Shi didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

"Oh my god, this is a great thing."

"That's right, it's not as happy as you picking up gold ingots." Li Shishi smiled from the side.

Aunt Wu was in her arms happily, and hurried over to pull her precious daughter-in-law, looked up and down for a long time before carefully asking: "How many months?"

"In less than two months, the doctor said that the fetal image was unstable, so he prescribed some anti-fetal medicine and told him to rest well." Wu said in a low voice.

"No wonder I smelled a smell of medicine when I came in. Is it natural to boil medicine?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head: "No, Wangzi is brewing medicine. Tiansheng went out early in the morning, saying he went to buy seasonings."

"This brat, his wife is pregnant. He's good enough, he went out early in the morning. Really." Aunt Wu glared at her and scolded in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, don't get angry with him. Brother Tiansheng is so happy to know that the girl is pregnant, and won't let her do any work. This is not going to make her a bodhisattva."

"That's what it should be." Aunt Wu said: "This woman's childbirth is like entering a ghost gate. It's not that easy."

Aunt Wu took her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to do any work in the future, and you can raise your baby with peace of mind. Don't be like me, working in the fields while pregnant, and finally fell ill. We No matter how poor your family is, you won’t be short of a bite of food. You just take care of it steadily.”

After saying this, she took her daughter-in-law's hand and sat on the table to look at her for a long time, but she really didn't like her.

Li Shishi saw that her mother and daughter were talking, so she didn't feel comfortable going up to disturb her. She wanted to see how the medicine was getting better, so she turned and went to the kitchen.

In the morning, when the restaurant was preparing dishes, Wang Zi was sitting in front of the small stove watching the fire, and Zhang Ke had just unloaded a cart of vegetables.

When Li Shishi went to the back kitchen, Wu Tiansheng had just returned.

After a hasty greeting, Wu Tiansheng hid in the corner of the back kitchen and took out a few small bags, and then found a stone mortar for pounding garlic with his back turned to the crowd.

Li Shishi took a look, feeling a little strange about Wu Tiansheng's behavior, but before she could ask, Zhang Ke brought a woman into the house.

"That's what I'm talking about. Tell her if you have any questions."

Li Shishi followed the voice, and saw a woman in her fifties following behind Zhang Ke.

Dressed like a woman in the country, years of hard work, the khaki face is also covered with wrinkles.

Li Shishi didn't know her, so she walked up to her and asked, "Who are you?"

The old woman made a bow and said: "Good morning, girl, I am from the next town. My family specializes in raising ducks. I heard that we have a lot of duck eggs, so I would like to ask if you need them here. Our duck eggs Big and cheap. Take a look."

The old woman had a basket hanging on her arm, which was still covered with a cloth.

While talking to Li Shishi, she lifted the cloth and took out the duck eggs.

Li Shishi took it and took a look.

The duck eggs are still warm. It looks like it was made this morning, and they are very fresh.

Although the restaurant already has a supply place, but after all, Li Shishi has no reason to refuse people when they come to visit in person.

So she took the duck eggs and took the old lady to the lobby.

After the water was served, Li Shishi asked: "Your duck eggs look okay, but I don't know how much it costs."

The old woman smiled cautiously, looked at Li Shishi and said, "Originally, these duck eggs are sold for three pennies each. But if you need more, I can give you one duck egg for one penny cheaper."

What a bargain.

Li Shishi secretly exclaimed.

Before, she bought duck eggs from the shopkeeper for five Wen a piece, but later Aunt Wu went to the village to collect duck eggs for three Wen a piece.

Li Shishi thought it was cheap enough, but she didn't expect the duck eggs to be cheaper today than before.

Moreover, the quality of the duck eggs is quite good, and it is definitely not a loss for two grains of money.

But the duck eggs on the market are at least four pennies. This woman gave such a low price, which made Li Shishi have to be a little vigilant.

She hesitated for a while and asked, "The price of your duck eggs is not high, and they are not common in the market."

Hearing this, the old woman sighed and said, "We are really helpless. If it weren't for the urgent need of money at home, I wouldn't have spent so much time to come to such a far place. To tell you the truth, I had already I have been to several houses. Every family thinks my duck eggs are too cheap and dare not accept them, for fear that I stole them. Tell me, I am a duck breeder, so I can steal duck eggs and sell them. No, I came yesterday I sold one basket at a time, and I heard that you use a lot of duck eggs here, so I came here today to try my luck."

"So that's the case." Li Shishi nodded.

Looking at the old woman in front of her, she doesn't look like the kind of sneaky and slippery person, and she doesn't hide her words.

But these duck eggs are indeed too cheap, Li Shishi is still a little skeptical.

Seeing that Li Shishi didn't speak, the old woman got up and knelt down with a plop.

Li Shishi was caught off guard by this, she hurriedly got up and went to help the old woman up
"Look, what are you doing?"

After saying this, the old woman had tears in her eyes, "Please take it, I'll use this money to go back and save my life."
