Hearing his generous offer, He Siyu raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully."
"Uncle, that uncle just said that his family's is only 1.50 yuan each.”
The boss looked in the direction He Siyu was pointing at and was slightly stunned. Then, he frowned.
If He Siyu was referring to another family, he still had some reasons to refute.
However, He Siyu was referring to another store. The old hens sold were all good-looking chicken and duck stalls.
In the Dongdan market, only these two families had the best old hens, so their prices were slightly higher than others.
However, what the boss didn't understand was that even if that company could offer a real price, it couldn't be as low as 1.50 yuan per pet, right?
The old hens they sold were not of poor quality. The lowest price was two yuan per hen!
Thinking of this, the boss looked at He Siyu in disbelief and thought,"
"Could it be that his family asked him to come to one of our two stores to buy it?”
After thinking for a moment, he felt that something was wrong because he did not seem to have seen He Siyu stop at any chicken and duck stall just now.
Could it be that he didn't notice it at all?
While thinking, the boss frowned.
At this moment, he really did not know what to do.
Even if this old hen could lay eggs, it could still be sold for a profit.
However, if he sold it to He Siyu for 1.5 yuan, he would earn less.
However, the shop owner was not willing to let this business go.
After all, in this era, not many people were willing to spend two yuan a month to buy an old hen to cook soup at home.
Two yuan was almost a month's worth of food for one person!
Therefore, after struggling for a long time, the boss gritted his teeth and said to He Siyu,"
"Then I'll take two pieces from you and pick the biggest one that can lay eggs for you, okay?”
"It can lay eggs?"
He Siyu frowned and suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a problem.
"Yes, it can lay eggs, and it's the biggest one here!”
The boss said firmly.
"It turns out that an old hen that can lay eggs is only two yuan each.”
He Siyu muttered in a low voice and then thought,
"It's different from the 21st century. There's not much food produced now, and meat is still relatively expensive compared to this era."
"In other words, in this era, a hen that can lay eggs should be much more expensive than a hen that can't lay eggs."
"It's not like the 21st century where the older the chicken, the more valuable it is.”
"In that case, can a hen that is so old that it can't lay eggs be bought for less than 1.50 yuan?”
He Siyu rubbed it gently. When he thought of this, his eyes lit up.
If he bought an old hen that could not lay eggs, it would be killing two birds with one stone!
Not only was it more nutritious, but it could also save 50 cents!
Moreover, this should only be the price at Dongdan Market. If it was at the larger and cheaper Chaoyang Market, wouldn't they be able to save more?
Even though the savings were less than a dollar, the purchasing power of this era was terrifying!
Thinking of this, He Siyu grinned and said to the boss,"
"I'm sorry, uncle. I think it's better to go back and ask my uncle first because I don't know how much I should spend on an old hen.”
As he spoke, he waved at the boss and left without looking back.
"Eh?"
"Little friend, don't be in a hurry to leave!"
"Uncle, give me a cheaper price. 1.50 yuan for each.”
"You can choose whichever you like!”
......
He Siyu ignored the shop owner. His so-called cheap price did not meet his expectations at all.
Anyway, a chicken that could lay eggs was not of much use to He Siyu for the time being. What he wanted to buy today was to make soup, so the older the better.
It was not until they left the Dandong vegetable market that the voice of the chicken and duck stall owner disappeared. He Siyu then heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really afraid that the boss would chase after him. If that happened, He Siyu would feel embarrassed.
He Siyu had never asked about other chicken and duck stalls. He was just bluffing.
"Little friend."
Just as He Siyu heaved a sigh of relief and was about to walk to the bus stop, a voice came from the left.
When He Siyu turned around, he saw an old man in tattered clothes, with a dusty face, and a snakeskin bag in his left hand. He was lying in a corner outside the market, looking at him with bright eyes.
"Are you calling me?"
He Siyu pointed at his nose and asked.
"Yes, it's my old man."
"On account of my old age, can you please give me two steamed buns?”
"If it really doesn't work, cornbread will do.”
The old man's hair was messy and his lips were dry and cracked. He looked so weak that it seemed like he had not eaten for a few days.
He Siyu frowned. It was not that he did not believe that this old man was a beggar.
If it was in his previous life, He Siyu would have given it to him without thinking.
However, this was the 1960s, and it was in Dragon City.
Even if he picked up trash, he wouldn't have to be reduced to a beggar.
Therefore, when He Siyu saw a beggar begging for money, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Moreover, he opened his mouth and ordered two steamed buns. Did he think steamed buns were cheap?
Even Qin Huairu's family, who worked as workers in the rolling mill, did not even have enough cornbread to eat, let alone steamed buns!
