Houfu Key Class

The eggs were packed into several large baskets, so full that the five of them couldn't lift them even if they worked together.

What's more, the four little dandies were most concerned about hawking their eggs. They were outgoing and playful, but that was the most normal behavior of the children of aristocratic families. How could they sneak into the streets to hawk their eggs?

Su Xi also said that he ran to thirty miles away on purpose. There were so many servants here, and there were many people with gossips. What if the news got out?

What if someone happened to meet them in the street?

"I won't go!" Shen Yibai was the first to start, and turned around to get on the carriage, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't go to sell eggs!"

"Yes! No! I want to get on the carriage!" Wei Xinglu also wanted to leave.

He Zheng looked at his eldest brother.

Zong Jincheng looked at his mother. Xu Wan was still smiling faintly, and had no intention of intervening at all. On the other side, Su Xi was already sitting in front of the carriage and eating sesame cakes leisurely.

"Mom, do you really want to go?" The little devil frowned, not looking very willing.

Xu Wan came over and whispered: "I think this is a good opportunity to exercise, to deeply understand what the people do every day. The world you have seen before is too advanced. You only sit in the halls and can hardly see the suffering of all living beings."

"The suffering of all living beings..." The little devil twisted this sentence lightly and fell into deep thought.

Zong Wenxiu also came over to persuade: "Jincheng, do you still remember the story I told you? The boy who saved his mother in the slums just for a bowl of brown rice porridge."

Memories are like water from a floodgate, all emerging from his mind.

Of course Zong Jincheng remembered.

That was the story his brother told him when he was eight years old. For this reason, they had looked for the boy, but unfortunately they didn't find him.

Zong Wenxiu said quietly: "We are determined to be good officials in order to prevent such tragedies from happening again. But the people in the slums are only a small part. The vendors in the street market in front who get up at dawn to make a living are the millions of ordinary people. Don't you want to experience what their day is like?"

With the persuasion of his mother and brother, Zong Jincheng was moved. He had read the books of sages for so long and wrote policy papers very well. Of course, he understood how empty it was to talk about war on paper.

He clenched his fists and made up his mind: "I'll go!"

He Zheng next to him immediately agreed: "Brother, go, I'll go too!"

The little devil turned around and ran towards the carriage: "Let's go and catch those two."

"Okay!" He Zheng hurriedly followed him.

Xu Wan laughed. She and Zong Wenxiu watched the four little dandies quarreling again. Two of them were unwilling to get off, and the two were determined to pull each other off, so they wrestled together in the carriage.

Shen Yibai howled, "I won't go! I won't go! Jincheng, what are you doing? We are brothers, we should share the same hatred and enemies, don't betray us!"

The little devil laughed and pulled him, "Good brothers should share happiness, come down quickly, let's go make a lot of money together!"

Wei Xinglu also shouted, "Wow wow wow... No, this young master doesn't need that little money, don't pull me, don't pull me, I can't afford to lose this person..."

He Zheng also helped, "Mr. Su said that this is thirty miles away, no one knows us, come down quickly, our five key classes and five people must be neat and tidy, only you two are missing."

"I don't want it... I've lost face..."

"How can this be embarrassing? One person is embarrassing, and five people are fearless!"

"..."

After a while, Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu were already frowning and were pulled out to help carry the basket.

As Su Xi said, the servants were not allowed to help. They all watched tremblingly as the five young masters lifted the eggs little by little. Buyan looked at the wobbly basket and felt that it would fall and break into pieces at any time.

But the amazing thing was that the five cobblers really moved the basket over, and not a single egg was broken.

Shunzi quietly complained to Buyan: "Everyone has potential. The young masters are too strong."

Buyan nodded in agreement.

On the street market, the big basket was in place, and the five small vendors were also in place.

Su Xi announced the rules for selling eggs next to him: "The purchase price of eggs in the farmhouse is one penny for two, and the selling price is one penny for one. You must not sell them at a price lower than this, and you must not use your status as a young master to sell eggs."

Otherwise, people who want to curry favor with them will quickly rush up and buy all the eggs, and the purpose of deep understanding will not be achieved.

When the young masters heard this, they all snorted in disdain: "Tsk, we wish no one knew us."

Zong Jincheng began to chase people away: "Okay, we are going to sell eggs, sir, please make way, don't block our business."

Su Xi was caught off guard and immediately turned around and left while chewing on a sesame cake. Before leaving, he left a cruel word: "We have prepared dry food and clothes before coming. When these eggs are sold out, we will return to Beijing."

Young men: "!!!"

This weird old man is too cruel.

If they can't sell all the 1,000 eggs, they can't even go home at night!

The sense of urgency came all of a sudden, and Zong Jincheng quickly arranged for He Zheng to go to the street to find out the situation.

Soon, He Zheng ran around the street and came back to report: "Brother, I checked it out. There are two egg sellers in the street. Their egg prices are the same as ours, but they may all be acquaintances. There are quite a lot of people going there."

Zong Jincheng frowned and said: "With no price advantage and no acquaintances with buyers, we really have to rely on ourselves."

Shen Yibai responded: "Okay, let's try it first and then decide. On the way, prepare to clear your throat, let's start a last-ditch fight!"

"good!"

Not long after, five young boys shouted: "Eggs for sale, fresh eggs, super delicious!"

The market was full of adults shopping and selling things. Suddenly, they encountered a few half-year-old children hawking. They all looked over curiously and started chatting enthusiastically.

"Look, there are some children selling eggs. How novel they are."

"They look well dressed. It doesn't look like their family is short of money. Why do they get so many eggs?"

"Whatever, these kids look so happy. They must be selling eggs to help my family. I happen to have run out of eggs, so I'm going to buy some."

"Baby, how do you sell these eggs?"

Zong Wenxiu replied with a smile: "One penny each. We just brought these from the farmhouse. How many do Auntie want?"

Seeing that he was well-behaved and spoke very politely, the woman originally only wanted to buy twenty pieces, so she changed her words to: "Give me fifty for Auntie. You have a lot of eggs. I'm afraid I'll have to sell a lot of them." sky."

He Zheng hurriedly answered: "Okay, thank you Auntie. Auntie, please give me the vegetable basket and we will help you load it."

"I want twenty too."

"I want ten."

Shen Yibai and Wei Xinglu were originally afraid of being embarrassed, but when they saw that the people who came to buy eggs were very friendly, they not only did not laugh at them, but also helped them. This made a huge change in their attitude, and they quickly followed He Zheng to help pack the eggs.

…

There were not many people who wanted to buy eggs. Most of them were adults who were kind-hearted and bought some for a few children to try. So after half an hour, more than a hundred eggs were sold.

As the sun gets hotter and hotter, fewer and fewer people come to buy eggs, and the teenagers sweat more and more.

The little devil glanced at the remaining egg mountain, wiped the sweat from his neck, and said loudly: "No, this is not an option. The egg sales are too slow. I don't want to live here for several days. "
