Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Chapter 168 Jia Dongxu is worse than three old hens

"And those cloth shoes you made didn't cost any money, so give each of us a pair. If it's not enough, just owe me a pair first and you can pay me back later!"

"As long as you promise to distribute shoes to everyone in the hospital, I won't want these eggs anymore. I'll give them all to everyone!" Chen Jun said loudly.

Jia Zhang had a lot of bad faults, but if we had to pick out one good thing about her, it was that the cloth shoes she made were pretty good.

After all, Jia Zhang had stayed at home for decades. When she had nothing to do, she liked to sew shoe soles and make cloth shoes. The soles were real thousand-layer soles, which were not only breathable and comfortable, but also very durable and would not break even after being worn for several years.

The authentic old Sijiucheng cloth shoes.

"Why? Why should I share the cloth shoes that I sewed stitch by stitch with you?" Jia Zhang was furious.

Although a pair of cloth shoes is not worth much, she made them bit by bit. If she gave a pair to everyone in the hospital, it would be like asking her to die.

What's more, those who can't get a share still have to owe it.

You have nothing better to do than to make cloth shoes for others?

Chen Jun smiled and asked, "Look at what you said. We should not be too selfish. You, Jia Zhang, are not conscious enough!"

"Bah! You are selfish, your whole family is selfish. You want to share my shoes? No way!" Jia Zhang jumped up and cursed.

"She's anxious, Jia Zhang is anxious!" Chen Jun pointed at Jia Zhang and turned to the people in the courtyard and said, "Some people are so stingy that they always try to take advantage of others. They are even more wicked than a turtle!"

"If anyone wants eggs in the future, they can come to my house to buy them. I support retail sales. An egg costs 10 cents. I will sell it to you even if you only buy one!"

After saying that, Chen Jun glanced at Jia Zhang and turned to go home.

One cent each?

Jia Zhang seemed to have caught something, and yelled at the people in the yard: "What a wicked man! This guy is really wicked. Eggs in the vegetable market only cost 8 or 9 cents, but this guy dared to sell them for 10 cents. He really thinks we are being taken advantage of!"

"Let's not buy eggs from them. It will piss him off!"

But after Jia Zhang had been shouting for a long time, no one in the courtyard agreed with her.

One cent each, which sounds a bit expensive, but it seems reasonable.

Because the eggs from Chen Jun’s house are a size bigger than those bought outside, it seems to be more cost-effective overall.

And you can buy one egg at a time from Chen Jun!

It costs a lot of money to buy a bag of them at the vegetable market, and most people are reluctant to spend so much money at one time.

But if you buy one at a time, even a middle-aged man won’t feel bad about it.

After all, an egg only costs one cent and can be fried with other dishes. Although it cannot be considered a meat dish, it is much better than those purely vegetarian dishes.

Anyone with a normal brain would think it is a good deal to buy eggs from Chen Jun.

It’s great to buy one or two at a time without having to go to the vegetable market.

The second aunt glanced at the people in the yard and went back to the house quietly.

Liu Haizhong is the big egg consumer in the family. Let’s go to Chen’s house to buy some eggs first. Then he won’t have to go to the vegetable market for the next half month!

So before everyone could react, the second aunt went to Chen's house with three cents in her pocket.

After a while, he came out with three eggs.

Good guy!

When everyone saw this, they immediately took action. The Chen family didn't have many eggs, and if they went too late, they would be gone.

Chen Jun was also very happy to receive the money, thinking about going to the market to buy three old hens tomorrow.

With six old hens, I can provide some cover for my home.

It was also time to cook dinner, and soon the aroma of scrambled eggs with chopped green onions wafted from Liu Haizhong's house.

I just bought three, and Liu Haizhong asked the second aunt to fry two of them.

For an ordinary family, frying one egg at a time is considered good.

But Liu Haizhong felt that he was the manager of the courtyard after all, and everyone saw Second Aunt buying eggs, so he had to be generous and fry two eggs!

And it is pure scrambled eggs, not mixed with other vegetables.

Brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were drooling at the eggs on the table.

"Dad, I want to eat eggs too!" Liu Guangfu looked at Liu Haizhong eating eggs and sips of wine, his saliva almost flowing onto the table.

But Liu Haizhong just glanced at his younger son and didn't even bother to reply. He picked up another piece of egg and put it into his mouth.

Liu Guangfu curled his lips, feeling that he had asked that question unnecessarily.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangfu glanced at his second brother beside him, only to find that Liu Guangtian was also turning his head to look at him.

The two brothers' eyes met, and they nodded in tacit understanding, then quickly ate the rice in their bowls.

snort!

If you don’t share eggs with your buddies, don’t blame them for going out to eat noodles with meat!

The holiday was approaching again, and the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu still had a lot of money left from their last fishing trip. They could not spend it all, at all!

On the other side, the Jia family.

Jia Zhang, who was chewing a steamed bun, suddenly twitched her nose and threw her chopsticks on the table in annoyance.

"You have no conscience. It would be fine if you didn't share our eggs, but you actually want to share our cloth shoes!"

"An egg costs ten cents, and there are fools who buy it. I am so angry, I am so angry!"

Qin Huairu was drinking porridge when she was suddenly startled by Jia Zhang.

But she didn't dare say anything. Instead, she put down the bowl in her hand and quickly picked up some dishes.

She is now pregnant and needs nutrition, but if she takes more food, she will be ridiculed by Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang glanced at the dishes on the table and snorted in annoyance.

"Mom, let's go buy some eggs. I haven't eaten eggs for half a month and I've forgotten what they taste like." Jia Dongxu couldn't help but say as he smelled the fragrance wafting in.

It smells so good!

I don't know who is so generous as to use pure scrambled eggs.

"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. Don't you know the situation in our family?" Jia Zhang said unhappily, "You have been fined three months' salary. We will have to tighten our belts for the next three months."

After saying this, Jia Zhang began to count on her fingers.

Three old hens can lay twelve eggs every day.

Each egg costs ten cents. If I sell all of them, I can make $1.20 a day, or thirty-six a month.

What the hell!

Thirty-six dollars!

These three old hens earn more than Jia Dongxu in a month.

On average, one Jia Dongxu is equivalent to approximately 2.3 old hens.

"Oh my, this is damned!" Jia Zhang was so jealous that she was about to burst into pieces.

Why should the Jia family work so hard but in the end are still not as good as three old hens?

No, we can’t be outdone by the Chen family like this.

Jia Dongxu was fined three months' salary for cheating in the exam. If he does nothing during these three months, the Jia family will definitely have a hard time.

Don't spend more than ten dollars to buy five old hens at the vegetable market.

With her skills as a chicken-raising expert, her own hens are definitely better than the Chen family’s!
