After saying that, Gui Niang continued, "Well, OK. Let's open the store quickly so that people can buy things more conveniently. I looked at your prices, some are the same as the supply and marketing cooperatives, and some are even cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperatives, so they will definitely sell well."

"Yes. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to compare prices. Nothing is more expensive than what they sell at the supply and marketing cooperative. They don't ask for prices blindly. They clearly mark the prices. Whatever is marked is what it is."

"Where are the eggs? Will you collect them?"

"Buy it. The big ones are 2 yuan, and the small ones are 1 yuan. Buy it according to the market price."

"You charge a higher price than the supply and marketing cooperative for small eggs."

大的鸡蛋,基本上是7个一斤,小的是8个一斤,城里的鸡蛋基本在1块8到1块9之间上下波动。

During the New Year holidays, the price is higher, up to 2 yuan or more. Eggs are not very profitable and are more likely to break.

"The people who brought the eggs are all from our village, so they should give it as high as possible."

"You are honest and kind-hearted."

The money earned from the canteen is small, just enough for daily expenses. It is unrealistic to expect it to make a fortune.

In the evening, after several rounds of bidding and bargaining, the donkey was sold to a family in the village for 642 yuan.

I paid 342 yuan on the spot and wrote a promissory note for the rest, agreeing that the latest repayment date would be the nd day of the twelfth lunar month. Because the rd day of the twelfth lunar month was the Little New Year, it was considered that the New Year was approaching.

People would feel unlucky if someone asks for or pays debts during the Chinese New Year, and they would worry that it would affect their luck in the new year, so they would generally avoid it.

Anyone who has money and still owes money will generally choose to pay it back before the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Of course, those scabby people are an exception.

This year's corn and potatoes will definitely be a good harvest, so they will sell them. In addition, the other party also raised two fat pigs, so it would not be a problem to raise the money, so Xia Ran agreed.

It is really unrealistic to come up with more than 600 yuan at once these days.

Soon the opening day of the convenience store arrived.

Xia Ran looked at the time carefully, and when the time came, he set off two long strings of firecrackers, which made a "bang bang bang" sound, marking the opening of the business.

Gui Niang, the second brother, Chen Huishi, and Jiu Shu's families each sent a red silk quilt cover to express their congratulations.

Chen Huishi has grown up and knows how to send me a quilt. Xia Ran accepted the other party's kindness without any hesitation, which can be regarded as a complete reconciliation. It is better to resolve the enemy than to make him, especially since he did not suffer any loss.

So many Yuan Datou coins were buried in the ground very early and have rarely seen the light of day. They are still intact and without any wear and tear. They will definitely be valuable in the future.

The quilt cover was tied into four big red flowers and hung on the container, which looked particularly festive.

Many people came over after hearing the noise, and they all came in to take a look, and some bought something to take back. Even the old ladies from the village came and bought a few boxes of matches and needles and thread before leaving.

On the first day of opening, Xia Ran gave everyone some gifts, some gave matches, some gave needles, and some gave bubble gum and glass marbles.

People who come to buy things are all very happy. Chinese people are like this, there is no one who doesn't like to take advantage. What they care about is not how much advantage they get, but whether they get the advantage.

Everyone is happy.

Some bought melon seeds, and some bought sesame seeds. Both melon seeds and sesame seeds were sold in small teacups. Xia Ran gave everyone a cup that was full and overflowed, and explained that this was a discount only for the opening day, and after today it would be a flat cup.

Some people saw rain boots for sale at a price lower than that in the supply and marketing cooperatives, so they bought a pair of rain boots for each of their children. These are necessities and cannot be saved.

The most common item bought by men is cigarettes, and they would also buy some fruit leather for their greedy children.

Some people come to buy wine, and they buy loose wine by weight. They pay for it by the scoop, and they have to bring their own bottles. Loose wine is cheap, and bottled wine with formal packaging is expensive. People only buy it when they visit relatives.

Seeing the price tag on Xia Ran, everyone said it was good. The price is clearly marked, which makes buying more assured. No need to worry about the other party asking for a high price, no need to bargain, just buy directly, save worry and trouble.

What's more, the price is lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. Most importantly, it is convenient. If you need something at home, you can come and buy it at any time. You don't have to worry about the other party looking at you coldly. The people in the supply and marketing cooperative are more arrogant and have worse tempers than each other.

No matter how poor a person is, who wants to be looked down upon by others for buying something? We were busy until noon, when the people who came to join in the fun gradually dispersed.

We invited them to lunch at noon, but since we didn't have enough time, we arranged to have dinner in the evening. Gui Niang and Lao Er disagreed, thinking it was unnecessary and that it was just a waste of money for their own family.

It was only after Xia Ran said that they were going to make mutton soup with steamed buns for dinner that the families finally agreed. Every time they passed by a mutton soup with steamed bun restaurant in the city, they could only smell the food.

I was so greedy, but I didn't dare to go in and eat. It was too expensive. I couldn't afford it. I heard from people who had eaten it that it was very fresh and delicious. They couldn't imagine how delicious it was.

"Call all the people from your families over to eat. I've made a lot."

"Okay," no one objected this time.

Xia Ran cooked rice for lunch, and made fried shredded potatoes with pork sauce and tiger skin chili, fried leek with eggs, and the chili was given by someone else. All the dishes I have eaten recently were given by others.

I had lunch with the yellow-haired girl and Shitou.

The second brother and the tenth uncle originally did not agree with the yellow-haired girl and Shitou coming to eat for free every few days.

It was Xia Ran who said, "Let them come over and keep me company. Otherwise, the house will be empty and it will be uncomfortable to stay alone. I don't need this little food now. If they come over to keep me company, they can also help me with the work."

After hearing this, the two families stopped objecting and completely agreed to the matter.

Then let these two kids come over. There will be more noise when there are more people around. Otherwise, Jianguo will be alone at home and may start to have wild thoughts and something bad may happen.

Everyone had a consensus: Tingwazi had been raised in vain. However, no one in the room said it out loud.

Jianmin had always loved Ting very much. After all, when he brought her home, his family had not had a single girl for several generations, only sons.

During festivals, other families would have sisters, aunts, and great-aunts returning to their parents' home. But their family was full of boys. They were so envious of other families' aunts and great-aunts.

They were so happy and excited about Tingwazi's arrival. They even joked with each other that when they got old, their daughter would finally come back to her parents' home.

Tingwazi was the first girl in several generations and the only girl at the beginning.

Even the lazy third child loved her very much and spent money to buy a can of malted milk for this child to drink. Seeing that Ting liked to eat peaches, he spent a lot of money to get a few peaches, specially for this little person to eat.
