They were doing it for her own good. Besides, Granny Sun had a good reputation in the village. Even though the original owner was so unreasonable, everyone thought she was a good person.

So Zheng Yuan could only speak pitifully and said, "Alas, Grandma Sun, our family is almost out of money, so I will just pick this one meal to ease the pressure, and I will go to the street to exchange money and buy food tomorrow."

Xu Hui Niang was listening to her mother-in-law's serious lies from behind. When did her family become so poor? It was obviously because her mother was greedy. Look at how her eyes lit up when she saw the tender pumpkin. She didn't say anything to expose her, but just followed behind silently.

Hearing her say this, Granny Sun showed a look of pity: "It's not easy for you to take care of such a group of half-grown children by yourself. It's really hard to make ends meet. I have some food here. You can take it to relieve the pressure for a while. We two old people can't eat much either."

Zheng Yuan didn't expect that Granny Sun was so kind. She wanted to give her own food to Zheng Yuan just because of the nonsense she made up. He said quickly, "No, no, Granny Sun, keep it for yourself. I will find a way." Then he ran away with the corn in his arms.

Returning to his own field, Zheng Yuan called Dashu and Erhe to come up and go home.

When they got home, Duan Minmin's family also came to the door with some cabbage in their arms: "Hehe, Yuanbao, what a coincidence. Oh, there are also corn and pumpkin, we are in for a treat tonight."

Giving her an amused look, Zheng Yuan said, "What a coincidence, this is in front of my house. Come in."

Sanni had already cooked the porridge. The girls came into the house and quickly prepared the dishes. Duan Minmin came into the house and sat behind the stove, grinning silly, and started to build up the fire.

Zheng Yuan planned to boil some corn, stir-fry some cabbage and pumpkin and then eat. While the children were preparing the dishes, she quickly washed her face and waited for the millet porridge to be cooked before starting to cook.

The children were still very satisfied with the dinner. They had never eaten tender corn and tender melons before. They found them fragrant and sweet. They all said that they would eat them every day when they had money in the future.

The two people from modern times didn't feel much about it. After all, the sweet, crispy and sweet and sticky corns were so delicious at that time, while the old varieties of corn that were malnourished now were not so delicious.

"Amin, where shall we meet tomorrow morning?" After dinner, Zheng Yuan asked Duan Minmin to discuss going to the market tomorrow.

"I'll come to your house when I wake up, and then we can go to the village to ride the ox cart together."

"Okay, then you go back and clean up, and I'll do the same."

After discussing it, Duan Minmin took the children back home. Zheng Yuan also asked Xu Huiniang to take out a basket, put straw on it, and carefully put the eggs in it, and then she would get up the next morning and take them away.

"Sanni, you and mother should go to the market tomorrow morning. Hui Niang will not go to the fields tomorrow. You can just cook and clean at home and bring them some water at noon." Zheng Yuan thought about it and decided to take Sanni with her. Sanni is young and has never been to the market. He and Duan Minmin don't have to avoid her if they want to do anything.

No one else had any objections, except Sanni who hesitated.

"Ah? I won't go. It costs money to ride a ox cart. I'll just cook and feed the pigs at home." Although she had never been there, Sanni knew that it would cost money to go into the city, so she quickly refused.

Zheng Yuan rubbed her head: "It's okay, you stay with your mother." She felt sorry for her daughter. The other children had been to the market, and even Chen Sizhu had gone with Old Lady Zheng a few times, but this old woman just wouldn't take Sanni with her.

Hearing her mother's offer to keep her company, Chen Sanni did not refuse and happily went back to her room to look for her best clothes. Although they were all patched up, at least there was one piece with fewer patches.

"Sizhu, come here." Zheng Yuan called Sizhu: "Tomorrow you will still deliver water to the eldest and second brothers, as well as Sister Tao'er and the others. This is the task that mother gave you. If you complete it well tomorrow, mother will bring you some candy, okay?"

He was a little uncomfortable because Zheng Yuan didn't say he would take him to the market, but he was also taking Chen Sanni with him. But when he heard that there was candy, he nodded immediately. Zheng Yuan knew that no child could resist the temptation of candy.

He also arranged for Xu Huiniang to cook at home, and told her to mix a little white rice into the millet porridge or corn paste, and not to be reluctant to eat. Dashu and Erhe continued to weed the fields, and they still had to eat a little more.

After giving instructions, he washed himself as usual and fell into a deep sleep. The last thought before he lost consciousness was that the only way to cure insomnia was to do hard labor.

Thinking about going to the market the next day, she woke up early the next morning when the children got up and talked outside.

After getting up and packing, Duan Minmin also arrived with her own eggs.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the village, and there were already quite a few people sitting on the oxcart. Seeing them, Zhao Youwang, the driver, hurriedly called out, "Chen family, Zhao family, we've been waiting for you, hurry up and get on, we're leaving now."

Hearing his shout, the two hurriedly trotted to get on the cart, and Duan Minmin took out three coins and handed them to Zhao Youwang. The market they were going to today was called Zhonghe Town, which was not far from Laohuaiqing. It took two hours to walk, and about an hour to take a bullock cart. Therefore, the price of the bullock cart was not very expensive, one penny per adult, and children under ten years old did not have to pay.

Sanni looked at the three cents she gave out and pursed her lips in pain, as if her flesh was cut. Seeing her like this, Zheng Yuan rubbed her head with amusement.

After they sat down, Zhao Youwang was not in a hurry to leave. He waited for a while. Then another woman came. Seeing that there was really no one else, he whipped the cow on the butt and started walking towards the town at the urging of the people.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin smiled at each other. Sure enough, drivers in every era are like this. In the past, those black taxis at the train station and the airport would just ask you to get in and leave, and you were the only one missing. But when you got in, you found out that you were the only one in the car.

The ox cart was moving slowly on the road, and as it swayed, the two of them ended up leaning against each other in a daze. Seeing them like this, the women sitting in the same cart were talking in a low voice.

The two of them were not fast asleep, and they knew that everyone was curious about them, but they really hated the feeling of being gossiped about in front of them, and they did not have the confidence to fight against a large number of people, so they simply closed their eyes and pretended to sleep.

Fortunately, Zhonghe Town is relatively close, and we arrived there quickly in an hour. Soon we heard a lot of noise, and when we opened our eyes, we saw the market right in front of us.

It was still early, but the market was already bustling with people. The roadside was filled with stalls selling vegetables and poultry, and the sounds of hawking were endless.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin jumped out of the car and took Sanni towards the row of stalls selling agricultural products.

After searching for a long time, he finally found an empty space at the innermost part. He quickly put down the basket and arranged the eggs.

After setting up the eggs, the three of them squatted in front of the basket and waited for people to buy. But after a while, no one asked, and the two finally realized that they had taken a rubbish stall. The supply was already greater than the demand, and people in front had already bought it, so there was no reason for people to come to the back.

After squatting for a long time, no one showed any interest.

What to do? The two stared at each other. How can we get people to buy eggs if they don't have a good stall and they are cheap and available in every household?

"Hey, Yuanbao, let's sell them." Duan Minmin suggested.

Zheng Yuan nodded. They were from the modern era and knew the importance of marketing. Even good wine would not sell if it was not well known, let alone eggs.

"Then think about what name to give our eggs?"

After thinking for a while, Zheng Yuan started to think: "A small egg is not rare, can it be included in the big feast at home?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, this is good." Duan Minmin nodded continuously: "Then I'll say something too. Two beauties are selling eggs. Needless to say, the eggs are fresh. They just came out of the pot a second ago."

Pfft, Zheng Yuan was amused by her and laughed out loud: "Two beauties, please recognize your current identity, you are obviously an old lady (first tone)."

"Grandma? Haha, I thought of two more sentences. Grandma took my medicine and climbed the hill very quickly!" Duan Minmin felt that her inspiration was flowing, and she remembered all the things she learned from the short videos.

Zheng Yuan was amused by her and laughed uncontrollably. Sanni looked at the two of them talking and laughing in confusion, and looked worriedly at her own eggs that no one was interested in.
