Chapter 302 - 292: Making a Scene
"""
"Thousands of salted duck eggs, when will you guys be able to finish them all if you eat them yourselves? Unless you’re in business and are planning to transport them elsewhere to sell? You need to think it through; aside from the transportation cost, my salted duck eggs are also a bit more expensive. I’m afraid that people who haven’t tasted them might not recognize their value and you might end up at a loss,"
Old Mi sized up Shitou and began to doubt their identity. The presence of this man was too extraordinary. Was he really employed at a major local institution?
"Dad, when someone wants to buy our stuff, shouldn’t we be happy and willing to sell it to them so everyone can be happy? Why are you meddling in what they’ll do with it? It’s none of our business,"
Old Mi’s eldest daughter-in-law pursed her lips, afraid that if Shitou heard this he might get scared off and not buy anything. A salted duck egg for forty cents, that’s a few thousand Yuan of income right there, which could be lost due to the old man’s foolishness.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but shoot her father-in-law a surreptitious glare, cursing him as a fool in her heart, and then plastered on a smile for Shitou, "Our old man here’s getting on in years and is a bit muddled; don’t pay him any mind."
"Yeah, my dad’s getting old and confused; please don’t take him seriously. There’s a reason why they’re pricier; if you sell them elsewhere, everyone will be fighting to buy them. There’s only room for profit, how could you possibly suffer a loss?"
Old Mi’s eldest son also joined in with an apologetic smile, "We’re just too busy to do it ourselves or we would have done it already. This kind of business guarantees a profit. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t find another like it. You’ll come back to us after you’ve made money."
