The next day, Su Jianmin planned to take the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative.
He did not bring all the green-shelled eggs, but only 39 yellow-shelled eggs and one green-shelled egg.
"Dad, let me go with you!" Jinbao ran behind her father with a small bag in her hand.
Su Jianmin, who was about to take Xiaobai out of the mule shed, nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'm worried about Xiaobai being disobedient."
Xiaobai, who was originally resisting being dragged out of the mule shed by Su Jianmin, saw Jinbao, raised his hooves happily, and followed him out happily. He became extremely obedient and obedient, completely different from the mule who had been stubbornly refusing to leave before.
Two mules.
Su Jianmin said with a hint of joking: "Tsk! This mule is really underfed. I go up to the mountain every day to cut it the freshest grass so that it can eat well, and it still points its nostrils at me every day...
"
"Hiss, ah, ah, ah..." Xiaobai yelled several times.
Jinbao roughly understood what it said, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Dad, it says you are too heavy, and it carries such heavy things every time. It will be very tiring to carry you back and forth every day."
Su Jianmin was surprised and said: "Xiaobai, is that what he said?"
"That's probably what it means." Jin Bao stood on tiptoes and touched Xiao Bai's head.
"Before, I would go to the town to buy hundreds of kilograms of pig feed and let him pull it back. It was really hard for him."
As Su Jianmin said this, he also touched Xiaobai's head twice, his tone seemed to comfort him, and said: "There is no need to transport feed today, I will go change some eggs, buy some rice noodles, and other things for the festival.
Do not worry."
Xiaobai seemed to understand what he said and was no longer as resistant to him as before.
They soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. Su Jianmin took out the eggs in his hand and asked how to change them?
The salesperson took the bag of eggs from him, picked out a few eggs and said, "The smaller ones cost two cents, the larger ones cost three cents, and the larger ones cost four cents. You can bring them with you."
If you have a large number of eggs, you can choose to weigh them, one pound is 20 cents.”
Jinbao thought about it secretly in his mind for a while and asked, "How much do ten small eggs weigh?"
"Ten of these small eggs are almost a pound, which is 20 cents," the salesperson said with a smile. "We have calculated the price. Seven larger eggs are a little more than a pound, and
The five largest eggs weigh about the same, 2 cents each.
The reason why we divide these two algorithms is because some people come to us to exchange eggs, and often exchange two or three eggs, and then they think the eggs are big or small. If the price of a big egg is the same as a small egg, then they will lose money.
Already."
After listening to her patient explanation, Jinbao thought it was quite reasonable.
"I brought forty eggs today, of which..." Su Jianmin was about to mention the green-shell eggs when Jinbao tugged on her father's arm, then blinked twice to stop what he was going to say next.
The salesperson was concentrating on counting the eggs in the bag and didn't pay much attention to Su Jianmin's words. Now that he was silent after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, "I'm sorry, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"
"Auntie, my dad said he brought a total of forty eggs today. Let's weigh them by kilograms. How much are they worth?"
"Oh, okay." The salesperson took out a basket specially designed for weighing eggs.
When she put the eggs into the basket, she found that there was a green shell mixed in the yellow shell eggs.
"What's going on with this egg?" The salesperson picked up the green-shelled egg. "This isn't an egg, it's a duck egg, right?"
"This is an egg laid by our hen. How can it be a duck egg?" Jinbao said, "Besides, it is winter now. Ducks don't lay eggs in winter, and duck eggs are not so small. Duck eggs are smaller than chicken eggs."
A lot."
The salesperson stared at the green-shell eggs for a while, then frowned and said, "They are much smaller than duck eggs. Judging from the size, they are indeed eggs. However, I have never seen eggs of this color. Could it be bad?"
"
Su Jianmin was about to use Jinbao's previous explanation, telling her that the eggshell turned green because the hen's body secreted higher biliverdin and more zinc. Not only was it okay to eat it, but it was also better than yellow eggs.
Shell eggs are better.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, his daughter said first: "Auntie, have you heard of Mayu chicken? It is a kind of chicken from Qingxin County. The eggs it lays are of this kind of green shell. Although they are small, the color is a bit strange.
, but it’s delicious, no problem at all.”
"Mayu Chicken? Qingxin County?" The salesperson frowned even more tightly and said in a confused tone, "Little sister, you just mentioned Qingyuan County, right? I've never heard of Qingxin County..."
Jin Bao remembered that many county names were changed after the reform and opening up, like Bao'an County, which was renamed. It is estimated that there was no Qingxin County at this time, and they were all still called Qingyuan County.
"That's right!" After reacting, she nodded hurriedly, "I remembered it wrong, yes, it's Qingyuan County! This kind of chicken in Qingyuan County is very famous, and the Guangzhou No. 1 chicken at Guangzhou Qingping Hotel uses this kind of Ma Fei
chicken."
Qingping Hotel is a household name in Guangdong. After hearing what Jinbao said, the salesperson immediately asked in surprise: "Really?"
"Well, it's true! If you don't believe it, you can ask around. The eggs laid by this kind of chicken have green shells. The yolks are bigger than ordinary eggs, and the flavor is richer... It just so happens that my mother is steaming more today.
I made a few eggs, you can try them."
After Jinbao finished speaking, he took out the steamed eggs from the bag and handed them to the salesperson.
"Ah? No, no, I don't have money to buy these eggs..."
Their conversation attracted many people around them.
There are three salesmen in the entire supply and marketing cooperative, and there are still more than a dozen customers in the store at this time.
They were all curious when they saw the little girl, who was no taller than the counter, holding a small and exquisite green-shelled egg in her hand.
"It doesn't cost money," Jinbao said loudly, deliberately raising his voice. "My mother told me that many people don't know about this kind of green-shell eggs and may misunderstand them and think they can't be eaten, so she asked me to bring them to you."
You guys have a taste."
"Xiao Ping, what happened?" Another older salesperson walked up and asked.
The salesperson named Xiaoping explained and said: "I have never seen this kind of green-shelled eggs before. I don't know if I can collect them. If they are really eggs from the Qingping Hotel's special chicken, I should be able to collect them, right?"
"This... you guys wait a minute, I'll go find the president and ask."
Not long after, the president of the supply and marketing cooperative came out, picked up the green egg and looked at it for a while.
"You can't tell by looking at it," Jinbao handed him the steamed eggs, "My mother asked me to bring several cooked eggs. Uncle president, you and the sales assistants and aunts, please try them. Just taste them.
I know, not only are these eggs okay, they also taste better and more delicious than ordinary eggs."
Everyone around them stared at the eggs in Jin Bao's hand and swallowed their saliva.
If Jinbao hadn't claimed the title of the best chicken in Guangzhou, no one would dare to eat such green-shelled eggs.
Now, under her exaggeration, even the president of the supply and marketing cooperative is a little bit ready to make a move.
"Try it," Su Jianmin said while the iron was hot. "I still have a lot of eggs of this color at home. If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't accept them, I don't know what to do. It would be too wasteful to eat them all by myself."
