After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun was wearing the autumn clothes newly made by Bai's mother, a tailor-made apron, and holding the preserved egg and tofu that Bai's mother had just made.

There were a lot of people in the morning, and Bai Qingyun took advantage of the flow of people to start his story: "It is said that in the past, a filial son of a wealthy family built a coffin for his mother. In order to prevent moisture, he ordered his family to sprinkle plant ash into the coffin and leave a large gap for ventilation.

Passersby listened and found it interesting, so they started to stop and watch, and people began to gather in front of the preserved egg stall.

"The next year, his mother died. When the family was preparing to move the old lady's coffin for burial, they suddenly found hundreds of eggs in the ashes in the coffin. The filial son was furious and took out the eggs and threw them on the ground. The eggs broke and revealed a somewhat transparent egg body. Someone in the family tasted it and thought it was delicious, so they rushed to eat it. Later, someone followed suit and placed fresh eggs in the ashes, and it really produced "color-changing eggs."

"I couldn't get used to it at first, but after a careful taste, I found it delicate and smooth. From then on, a folk snack was born, which is the preserved egg, also known as Songhua egg!"

The entertainment of the ancients was always simple, accompanied by vivid storytelling, which attracted many people to watch curiously.

Bai's mother prepared a variety of preserved egg snacks, and Bai's father brought out the snacks at the right time, inviting the people who stopped to taste them for free. At first, everyone couldn't adapt to it, but with the explanation of the story just now, many people chose to chew and taste them slowly.

After tasting the delicious preserved eggs, some people came to ask the price. Father Bai followed Bai Qingyun's words last night and said to everyone, "Everyone, the original price of preserved eggs is ten cents each. Today, our shop has just opened, so we have a special discount, eight cents each. Buy ten preserved eggs and get one free. The more you buy, the more you get. While supplies last!"

"The quantity of preserved eggs is limited. Please line up in front of the stall if you want to buy some!"

The preserved egg business became popular in an instant. Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer thought that the stock was sufficient, but they never expected that the preserved eggs they prepared last night were sold out in less than an hour.

The people queuing in front of the stall had to wait for a long time before they got their turn, but when it was their turn, they were told that the preserved eggs had been sold out. How could they leave easily?

Bai Qingyun had no choice but to go home and prepare to take out the stock at home. Xie Shuer led Bai Qingyun out of the crowd and saw Wang Er pushing a cart towards them, and they happened to run into Xie Shuer and the others.

Wang Er used to work for Xie Li, so he was very familiar with Xie Shuer. Seeing an acquaintance, Xie Shuer pushed Wang Er back in a hurry, saying, "Brother Wang Er, it's great that you're here. Come back home with us to get the preserved eggs. If we're late, I'm afraid everyone will make a fuss!"

Wang Er staggered a bit after being pushed, but the man was stronger after all. He steadied the cart and said quickly: "Don't worry, Sister Shu'er. Grandpa Xie asked me to come here."

Xie Li has always been steady in doing business, so when he heard that it was his grandfather who sent someone over, he was not so anxious.

"I went to see Grandpa Xie this morning and heard that you were selling preserved eggs on the street. I just came to look for you and saw that the stall was crowded with people. I was afraid that you didn't have enough stock, so I cooked some more preserved eggs at home with Grandpa Xie and sent them over!"

"Great! Grandpa is really smart!"

Even for Bai Qingyun, who is well-informed, he would still be touched when someone makes thoughtful arrangements and plans at a critical moment.

There was no time to say thank you, the three of them worked together to push the cart to deliver the preserved eggs to the stall. Wang Er was worthy of being someone Xie Li kept by his side, he was efficient and careful in his work.

Father Bai's pressure was reduced a lot. The long team was divided into two teams because of Wang Er's arrival. Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer followed the two of them to collect and change money respectively. Father Bai and Wang Er were responsible for packing, and Mother Bai was responsible for loading the goods. The efficiency was greatly improved.

It was past lunch time before the long queue in front of the stall ended. Everyone slumped in front of the stall. The preserved eggs on the cart were sold out. There were still some people who came to inquire about the preserved eggs because they were popular. They left only after learning that the preserved eggs had been sold out today and would be available again tomorrow.

Bai's mother was too lazy to go home and cook, so she invited everyone to eat at the noodle stall next door. The noodle stall was run by a couple, who had been selling noodles for many years and their skin was a little dark from the sun. When the man saw everyone coming, he called his wife over to greet everyone before he had time to wipe his hands.

Grandma Bai was not here, so all the money earned today was given to Bai's mother for safekeeping. The bulging purse was satisfying to look at, and Bai's mother was not a stingy person. She ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles for everyone, and seeing that Wang Er was still not satisfied, she ordered a few more bowls of noodles.

After eating the fifth bowl, Wang Er raised his head again. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in a daze, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I... was just too tired today. I accidentally ate too much!"

Xie Shuer chuckled, and fearing that Wang Er would be embarrassed, Bai Qingyun said, "Thanks to Brother Wang Er for sending it here in time today, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to be busy!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, it was quite lively. The boss of the noodle stall came over after finishing his work and asked, "How was your meal? Would you like more noodles?"

Everyone was full and about to leave when they saw the boss coming over. He said, "You guys just arrived and business is so good. Our business has also improved. Today's business is equal to the past week's business!"

There are many people queuing up, and when they smell the delicious food while waiting, they always choose to sit down and consume, and they can also take a break.

Not only this stall, but many of the surrounding stalls are doing good business today. Everyone knows that it is this preserved egg stall that has boosted the surrounding business, and the Bai family is also welcomed by everyone on this street.

Seeing the owner of the stall come up to talk, other stall owners also came forward to chat. The Bai family tacitly did not take the initiative to come forward, but left the space to Xie Shuer and Wang Er.

The county's preserved egg business was originally planned to be handed over to Xie Shuer to manage, so that she could get acquainted with the surrounding businesses and help out if there was any need in the future.

But it is not safe for a woman to set up a stall. Bai Qingyun thought of Wang Er: "Brother Wang Er, do you have time? I want you to help Sister Shuer run the preserved egg stall!"

Wang Er seemed to be unable to react. Ever since Grandpa Xie's business went bankrupt, he had been doing odd jobs and his job was not stable. So when faced with the olive branch thrown by Bai Qingyun, he naturally agreed with joy.

After returning home, Bai's mother began to calculate the day's income. Everyone gathered around the table waiting for the final result. Even Bai Qingyun was a little curious about how much money such a small business could bring in in a day.

If you don't calculate it, you won't know. The cost of eggs is five cents per pound. Duck eggs are slightly more expensive, ten cents per pound, but the selling price of preserved eggs is eight cents each. This is the first day of discounted sales. From then on, they will be ten cents each. The profit in between is also quite a lot.

In addition, many preserved eggs were sold today. After the final calculation, the preserved eggs alone were sold for twenty-eight taels and three cents. Excluding the five taels of silver that Bai Qingyun spent on buying eggs for Xie Shuer, and excluding the preserved eggs that have not yet been sold, the profit has now reached twenty-three taels and three cents, which can be considered a real good start!
