Chapter 81 Selling Tea Eggs
Xia Qiyue struggled all the way to the market carrying the wooden bucket. Fortunately, the yard they rented was close to the market, and they arrived at the market before she lost her strength.

Most of the markets are shops that buy vegetables and sell their own agricultural products, eggs and meat. Many of them put the things to be sold in baskets or baskets, and then squat on the side of the road to sell them.

Xia Qiyue glanced back and forth, and saw that there was a place next to the lady selling apples, so she walked over and put down her wooden barrel.

Let's take a breath first, I'm too tired... She supported her waist and gasped for breath, but was accosted by the lady selling apples next to her.

"Young man, are you selling eggs? Why are they soaked in soup?"

Xia Qiyue was worried about how to sell the first copy, how could she miss the opportunity to introduce.

"Ma'am, these are tea eggs, boiled. This soup is my ancestral old soup, which is specially made to boil eggs. The eggs boiled in this old soup are very fragrant, better than boiled eggs. If you don't believe me, smell it, it smells delicious." fragrant?"

Xia Qiyue deliberately moved aside a bit, and gave up the position next to the wooden barrel, so that the apple sellers could look at it and smell it.

The aunt was not too polite, she smelled it as soon as she walked over, and then swallowed a breath and said, "It's really fragrant, this egg... how do you sell tea eggs? If it's not expensive, I'll buy one and try it!"

Xia Qiyue was secretly happy, this is really a free advertisement, she wouldn't believe it if she didn't say that this aunt was her babysitter.

"Ma'am, my tea eggs are the same price as raw eggs, two Wen each!"

She originally wanted to increase the price to sell it, but after looking around and listening to the price more or less, she felt that no matter how expensive it was, she would not be able to sell it!After all, a bowl of wonton is only seven cents.

"Huh? The same price as a raw egg? Then I'll buy one. It just so happens that I'm opening today. I've sold a few catties of apples, and I'll eat a good one!"

The aunt proudly took out two copper coins and handed them to Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue made preparations in advance, the colander and grease were all ready, she swiftly fished out a tea egg wrapped in oil paper and handed it to the aunt.

The chat between the two people here was overheard by people who bought and sold things. When they heard that such fragrant tea eggs were priced the same as raw eggs, many people were moved.

But they all hesitated, looking at the aunt who sold the apples, and wanted to see what the aunt would say after tasting it.

I saw that the aunt couldn't wait to peel off the shell, and after putting it in her mouth, she couldn't wait to swallow it before starting to boast.

Sure enough, those who gathered around to watch were all greedy. Anyway, it was only a matter of two copper coins. Eggs are better than steamed buns, so just buy one and eat it.

There are not a few people who have such thoughts, and they have bought more than ten tea eggs in a short time.

The aunt who sells apples is also a face, a tea egg was eaten up quickly, but as people who bought tea eggs gathered, her apples were sold by the way, which made her very angry at the tea seller next to her. The attitude of the young man in the egg is even better.

On Xia Qiyue's side, although they don't buy many at a time, there are many people who buy them. One person buys one or two, and then they can't wait to take them home, peel the shells and eat them while they are hot.

There is no need for her to peddle, one by one, there are so many people who buy, she can hardly handle it by herself.

Fortunately, people who buy tea eggs come here with copper coins, and they can just collect the money without giving change.

Not to mention those who go to the market, those who bring children, these small vendors who sell things buy one or two to taste, after all, they are not expensive and very fragrant.

While collecting money and pretending to be in a hurry, suddenly a piece of silver was handed over with one hand, and Xia Qiyue not only raised her head to look at it suspiciously.

It was a woman in her forties, dressed like a servant from some family.

"How much is left? I want it all!" Before Xia Qiyue could ask how many she wanted to buy, the nanny spoke in a commanding tone.

"Hey? Why are you like this? We came first, and it's fine if you jump in line. Why do you want them all? What should we buy?"

The aunt leading the child interrupted her unwillingly, because her eldest grandson wanted to eat the tea egg seller as soon as he saw it, so she had to drag her over.

The grandson wanted to eat it, and it looked good, and it was not expensive, so he planned to buy two, but the person in front of him jumped in the queue and wanted to wrap it up.

She is usually treated like an old matriarch at home, and the daughters-in-law are coaxed no matter how easy they are, which arouses her enthusiasm for serving her.

How can I bear this anger?

"Our grandpa and wife love to eat eggs. What's the problem if I bought them all? Why don't you come back tomorrow if you don't buy them?"

That nanny is the nanny of the housekeeper of Tang Yuan's family in Maoshan Town. She usually buys in this market and knows everyone who sells things in the market. She usually looks so arrogant.

Because the Tang family is one of the richest families in Maoshan Town, as the housekeeper of the Tang family, she is used to those who want to sell their own vegetables and fruits.

"Why are you like this? Do you know that first come first served? My eldest grandson also likes to eat eggs! Let's buy it first!" The woman with the child didn't give way, and the two of them were at war, and the others beside them were a little bit dissatisfied. Knowing how to fix it, she looked at Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue was about to say that the woman with the child came first, and when she pretended to be the first, the lady who sold the apple next to her tugged at her arm and whispered, "Young man, this is the housekeeper of the Tang family! You Give it to her first, or things will go bad!"

Sure enough, Xia Qiyue guessed it right. She had already guessed that the person in front of her should be a scary person from a rich family. Now it seems that her position is not low.

She sized it up, and immediately changed into a smiling face, "There are still tea eggs, and they are still cooking at home! Don't snatch them! Madam, are you sure you want to buy one tael of silver? That's five hundred..."

She can cook [-] eggs, but she can't say it in front of so many people. After all, how long does it take to save [-] eggs, and it takes extraordinary effort to collect them.

"I really can't get five hundred tea eggs at the moment, is this okay? There are still two hundred eggs left from the eggs I collected yesterday, and I have them all boiled and sent to your house?"

The housekeeper looked down at the tea eggs in the wooden barrel. It seemed that there were not many left, but she still didn't dare to buy [-]. If I bought them back, my grandpa, wife, young master and young lady couldn't finish them all, so it was a waste.

"Okay, for the sake of your good attitude, I'll buy twenty first, and wrap them up for me first! Hurry up, I have to buy dragon beard cakes for our lady!"

"That's right!" Xia Qiyue looked at the way the others were afraid to speak, if she sold it to anyone, then give it to the housekeeper first.

Maybe she can buy some more tomorrow.

The woman with the child stopped talking. She heard what the apple seller said just now, and she waited honestly. She didn't dare to offend the Tang family.

As soon as the housekeeper left, the noise started again. Xia Qiyue had been busy collecting tea eggs in her purse, but she still heard the phrase "Miss Tang loves sweets the most, and eats sweets every day." Someone has to come out and buy…”

 Three requests for politeness...don't spray if you don't like it, thank you
