Rebirth: Back To 1990s novel Chapter 32

"Girl, if you sell the eggs outside the textile mill, you can sell each egg at least for 23 cents or 24 cents. Your eggs are big and good enough."

Whether it was because Sharon or Celia's beauty, the middle-aged man who was standing next to her all became very warm-hearted.

"Will anyone buy it?"

The price was a little higher than that in a town.

"Why didn't they buy it? The workers will be here soon."

All the workers who could work in the textile mill had a steady salary, so they could afford to eat eggs.

"Okay, thank you."

The friendliness of these people made her happy, too.

"Lady, is this man really your brother?"

All the people beside were fixing their eyes on Sharon.

"Yes. Don't we look like each other?"

Now that she had made it clear to the public, she surely had to put on an act. Otherwise, she would become a person who had problems with her private life style.

"Yes. One is pretty and one is handsome. You do look like brother and sister,"

the woman praised.

It didn't take her long to find the workers began to bustle round the textile mill. Fortunately, she got up before dawn today and didn't waste much time in town. It was the most important time for them to go to work. The workers didn't go to the mill immediately, but stayed outside instead. Some stayed at the stall for breakfast, some for vegetables and eggs.

"How much are the eggs?"

A worker came to her soon.

"Sir, these eggs are from my own hen and they are all fresh. One egg is 23 cents. If you buy one kilo, the price will be 2 dollars."

Celia gave him a fair price.

"Can you lower your price a little?"

Even the workers in old days were often bargaining with each other.

"Sir, I've brought it from my home. It's not easy for me to come here, and it is a fair deal. You can buy it and have it cooked. It's nutritious and delicious."

She knew the price was not cheap, but it was definitely not expensive either. If she made a compromise, it was truly not worth it for her to come to the county all the way here. And she couldn't even afford the motorcycle's fuels costs.

"Sir, there are only dozens of eggs left. If you still hesitate, they will be bought by others,"

Sharon said.

"I want it! Of course I want it! Two kilo, please!"

She didn't know whether it was because what Sharon said or not, the man suddenly wanted to buy it.

"Okay!"

Celia saw that and immediately weighted out the eggs for him.

"Sir, you see, the eggs I give you is more than two kilo. If you don't trust me, feel free to check it when you get home. If there is anything wrong with the eggs, I will give you ten kilo of eggs as compensation."

Celia looked different from the other girls. She was polite and elegant, not shy at all. People would feel comfortable to see her.

"Well, I'll buy it from you, little girl."

The man was thrilled to meet a honest and beautiful girl who was both eloquent and attractive.

"Great! Thank you!"

Celia nodded with enthusiasm.

"How much are the eggs?"

One after another people came to the eggs. There were 146 eggs in total, 50 eggs for the shop keeper, and two eggs were broken on the way here, and there was still 94 eggs left. In less than ten minutes, she sold the rest of the eggs.

These workers bought the eggs by kilo, and it was more cost-effective than by just buying one. So she made a lot more money than before.
