After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Dalang was very happy and helped Old Man Ye weave several nests. Geese know where to lay eggs. They will always lay eggs in the same place as the first time.

That day, Ye Qing had just finished turning the sweet potato seedlings for the second time and heard the good news when he returned home.

The goose laid eggs, more than one, half of them. The family suddenly became rich in eggs.

Ye Qing achieved goose egg freedom, and goose eggs were used in every meal at home. The family members gained weight visibly.

A few days later, the chickens and ducks at home also laid eggs, and more than a hundred eggs could be collected a day. The weather was getting hot, and Zhou was a little anxious because the eggs would go bad if left for too long.

Boss Ye thought of going to the city to see if there was anyone buying them. If no one was buying them, he would set up a stall at the market.

The next morning, Boss Ye loaded a hundred chicken eggs, a hundred duck eggs, and a hundred goose eggs onto the cart, intending to get to the city early to get a good spot.

"Dad, I'll go too. If you have something to do, I can help you look after your things." Ye Qing also wanted to go to the city to see if there were other ways to make money.

Boss Ye thought that there would be many people buying eggs at the market and Ye Qing could help pack the eggs, so he agreed to let Ye Qing go with him.

The two walked for an hour in the morning light before they reached the city. They first went to the stalls, as they arrived early and set up their stalls next to the chicken and duck stalls.

They brought several new baskets woven by Old Man Ye. There were 20 eggs in each basket. All of them were laid just in the past two days and were very fresh.

There were more people at the market, and all kinds of shouting could be heard. It was the first time for Boss Ye to set up a stall, so he was a little embarrassed to shout.

Ye Qing did not have this worry. He was young and no one would laugh at him if he shouted loudly.

"Come and see, fresh chicken eggs and duck eggs, all natural eggs." It was Ye Qing's first time to shout, so he could only shout whatever he could think of.

"Little girl, how much are these eggs?" A woman carrying a basket came over and picked out eggs.

"Aunt, chicken and duck eggs are one penny each, and goose eggs are two pennies each because they are big."

"Can it be cheaper? They sell two for one penny."

"Auntie, look at my eggs. Are they bigger than those of other people? They were laid yesterday, so they are definitely fresh." Ye Qing gestured while holding the eggs.

Boss Ye also chimed in, "Sister, if you buy more, I can give you one for free. If you buy ten, I can give you one for free."

"Is it the same with duck eggs? Can I buy ten of both?"

"Sure, if you want a few eggs, I'll get them for you."

"I want five chicken eggs, five duck eggs, or one chicken egg. I don't want the goose eggs." The woman handed over the basket in her hand.

Ye Qing quickly packed the eggs and handed them over, and also took the ten cents the woman handed over.

Their chicken and duck eggs were fresh and large, so business was very good in the morning. At noon, there were still 10 chicken eggs, 36 duck eggs, and 12 goose eggs left unsold.

Ye Qing didn't want to take the remaining eggs back, so the eggs he brought out today were laid in the past two days, so the family could pick up more than a hundred eggs today.

"Dad, let's go to the restaurant and check. We can also go to the department store to ask if they will accept it."

"Okay, let's go ask now." The Ye family has become accustomed to listening to Ye Qing's opinions.

The two men pushed the cart and asked as they walked, and after a long time they finally arrived at the largest restaurant in Wu'an City.

Ye Qing glanced at the signboard "Fu'an Pavilion", then stuck his head to look inside. The business was very good and the seats were full of people.

Ye Qing pulled Ye Lao Da to the back door. Ye Lao Da knocked on the door and a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old came out.

"Who are you looking for? This is the kitchen of Fu'an Pavilion. Go to the front door for dinner."

Boss Ye came forward with a smile, "Brother, we are here to sell chicken and duck eggs. They are all fresh. Do you want to buy them?"

"No, no, we have someone here to deliver eggs. Let's go." The waiter looked at Boss Ye impatiently and was about to close the door.

Ye Qing quietly stuffed a few coins into Boss Ye's hand, and Boss Ye also reacted.

Boss Ye pulled the boy over and handed the copper coins to him without a word. "Thank you for your help, little brother. I'll go ask for you."

The young man put the money into his sleeve, said "wait", and closed the door and went in.

After a while, the waiter came out again, "Come in, our boss wants to see your eggs."

After walking two steps, he whispered to Boss Ye, "Our shopkeeper is very anxious. The person who delivered the eggs last time moved to another place, and we haven't found anyone to deliver them yet."

Ye Qing was delighted, thinking that there was a good chance that he would be able to take over this business.

"Boss, this is the man who is here to sell eggs." The boy brought the man over and went to work.

"Boss, look at the eggs in my house. They are all well-fed and very big. The ducks and geese are all raised in the river and eat small fish. They taste very good." Ye Qing was afraid that Boss Ye would be embarrassed to brag about his own things, so he started to introduce them first.

The shopkeeper took the egg they brought and shook it in his hand. When there was no sound, he said, "You can call me Shopkeeper Wang. How much is this egg?"

Boss Ye said quickly, "Chicken and duck eggs are one cent each, and goose eggs are two cents each."

Shopkeeper Wang originally charged the same price, but the size was not as big as this one, so he was more willing to pay it.

Seeing the shopkeeper's intention, Ye Qing added, "If you want more, we can give you ten more eggs for every one hundred eggs."

Shopkeeper Wang pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "You should deliver once every five days, one hundred eggs of each of the three types. Start delivering tomorrow."

"Thank you, boss. I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." Boss Ye said goodbye and left with Ye Qing.

When I walked to the door, I gave a few more eggs to the young man.

The boy's day's wage was only fifty cents. Today he got five cents and a few eggs. He greeted Boss Ye happily.

"Uncle, you can call me Huzi from now on. I am responsible for the job of guarding the door. When you come to deliver eggs, just call me directly."

Boss Ye also said politely: "Thanks to you, Huzi, uncle was able to sell the eggs today. Come to uncle's house and play in the future."

After chatting for a while, Boss Ye took Ye Qing to the department store. They could collect six or seven hundred eggs in five days, so they had to find a few more stores.

Boss Ye asked several department stores in a row and finally found one that asked for 100 eggs, which were also delivered every five days.

The two found a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of plain noodles, three cents a bowl, with only noodles but no meat.

While eating noodles, Ye Qing carefully observed the types of noodles in the store. There were both egg noodles and shredded pork noodles.

"Dad, do you want eggs here? I see a lot of noodles with eggs added."

Boss Ye was a little stunned. He was only thinking about restaurants and department stores, and didn't expect that there was a need here as well.

Boss Ye saw that there were fewer people eating noodles, so he walked over with the basket of eggs.
