Chapter 1684: Chapter 1086: Heroine of the Republic 60 (4000+)_2

The An family never lacks for eggs, last spring they took in ten chickens, raising them until the first snowfall before slaughtering them. This saved on grain and given the cold weather, they wouldn’t survive; it wasn’t feasible to keep a fire going just for a few chickens.

Therefore, they killed the ten chickens and made chicken stew.

This year, they missed the pig slaughtering in the village, so of course they didn’t buy any. In the city, unless you queue overnight, you can’t buy pork either. They slaughtered a cow instead, so this year she didn’t slaughter any pigs. Whether it’s cows or pigs, they now maintain them at a family of three’s quantity.

Although there was no pork, when covering it up with beef, there was plenty of chicken, duck, and goose. The Northeast’s famous iron pot stewed goose, beer duck, and chicken stew with mushrooms didn’t need to be on the end-year menu. Every few days, An Yi would make a meal for everyone to improve their diet. The usual food isn’t much different from ordinary households, with dishes like vegetable dumplings, cornmeal buns, porridge, and mixed flour steamed buns being daily staples.

In winter, everyone had dried vegetables or pickles, as well as sour cabbage, spiced radish, sour cucumber, and pickled green beans.

Over the years, she accumulated three to four hundred Jin of soybeans, planning to make soy sauce and bean paste after the spring started. What was made before was eaten up last year; this year, due to time constraints, she couldn’t make any. She had to wait until after spring to start preparing again.

The space had too many eggs, averaging over one hundred a day. The current quantity could be described as spectacular. Even though she occasionally slaughtered some for meat, the fast reproduction of these livestock in the good environment caused them to lay eggs twice a day. Thus, even with just fifty of them, there could be over a hundred eggs.

What to do with these eggs if they can’t be finished?

Usually, there was no time to go out to sell them. This winter break was a good opportunity, though the Northeast’s weather was too cold, staying cooped up at home wasn’t suitable. So, under the guise of visiting relatives, she carried two children, one in front and one behind her, and under the watchful eyes of three students, got on a bus. After arriving at the city, she placed the children into the space.

She then started going door-to-door in the streets selling her chicken, duck, and goose eggs.

Rare goods are valued, with goose eggs at one yuan for twelve, duck eggs one yuan for fourteen, and chicken eggs at one yuan for sixteen.

When others’ eggs were two or three cents each, hers were already being sold at over six cents each. Firstly, because of their size, and secondly because of their space production. She knew the taste, and others would remember it after having tasted it once, and it was easily distinguishable from ordinary eggs in flavor.

She had no purchase limits; you could buy as long as you had money, and buying two yuan could even get you an extra one. She mainly targeted places like institutional family compounds where there were many wealthy people.

Standing at the door, she would place her basket down and ask if she saw anyone.

"Little sister, do you want eggs? I also have duck eggs and goose eggs here. The eggs are large, with big yolks, whether for pickling, boiling, steaming, or frying; they taste great. Why not take a few home to try?"

The eggs in An Yi’s bamboo basket were wiped very clean with no droppings or feathers. They were really big, but the key point is they were also beautiful and clean, making people stop and look.

Even when meeting picky customers, seeing such beautiful eggs, they had no reason to haggle. After all, in this icy world, where even meat was hard to buy, let alone eggs, just staying there for a while made the eggs feel frozen to her.

How hard was it to come out and sell eggs in such cold weather? The high prices didn’t deter haggling, and customers were often annoyed and unhappy, but at least some were sold, and having something to sell was already fortunate enough, so why bother if it was expensive or not?

Two hours passed, and the 300 or so eggs in her basket were almost sold out.

"Please feel free to pick; the probability of getting a double-yolk egg from these is very high. If you don’t believe it, go home and have a look. I’ll be here these days, and if you find them tasty, you can come back to buy more. I won’t be coming out again before the end of the year."

Buying an egg and getting a double yolk was a good deal!

The first day she sold 20 yuan, split between ten yuan of duck eggs and ten yuan of chicken eggs, totaling 300 eggs for twenty yuan.

After that, the income was roughly twenty yuan each day. She sold for twenty days in the city, earning five hundred yuan.

Then she took a car to the Provincial City, where the prices were higher, uniformly selling at one yuan for ten, allowing people to pick whatever they wanted. This time she stayed in the Provincial City for almost a month and sold 1,500 yuan.

By the time she returned to the small county, nearly a third of the space’s eggs were sold, generating an income of two thousand yuan, bringing her savings to nine thousand yuan.
