"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.
"Girl, will you come here tomorrow?"
The eggs brought by Celia were big and delicious. Many people were attracted by her and hadn't
bought the eggs yet.
"Of course I come here. I will bring more eggs for you."
Although it was a long and risky journey to come here, it still made a lot of money and made a good
bargain.
"Miss, will your brother come tomorrow?"
People not only thought about her egg, but also her incomparably handsome brother.
"Well It's hard to say."
Celia was caught in a dilemma. She couldn't just tell whether he would come tomorrow. How could she
let him follow her everyday.
"I'll come here tomorrow, ma'am."
Sharon replied. It meet customer's needs, and Celia would not turn him down.
"You..."
Celia gave him a sharp look, but he ignored her. He continued to clean the basket.
"What do you mean? Mr. Horace invited you here to help the village, not to sell eggs with me. You are
not allowed to come with me tomorrow. "
Celia said sternly. She wouldn't believe that he could help her. Besides, she was serious about her
business. She didn't need his charms to get her business done.
"That woman asked me to come here just now. I just want to meet the need of customers and I won't
disturb you."
The more Celia refused him, the more he wanted to protect her.
"She is my client, not yours. Do you really think yourself as my real brother?"
What a shameless man.
"I don't want to be your brother anyway,"
Sharon muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Are you hungry?"
There happened to be food stall nearby.
"I'm not hungry."
She was already very full for a bowl of noodles, an egg in the morning, so she didn't need to have
lunch.
"Do you want to hang around here?"
There should be more fun than the town.
"Of course."
She didn't come here just for selling eggs.
She drove the motorcycle to the biggest market in the county and looked around. Celia was not
interested in anything else, but in clothes. After all, as a woman, she didn't lack money in her previous
life. So it was one of her usual agenda to go shopping. The design was not novel and the quality was
poor, but there were many people in the store.
She would definitely earn more money in clothes than selling an egg.
"Sir, how much is a dress?"
Celia asked as she saw the new dress.
"Thirty five dollars!"
The boss answered.
"Can you make it less?"
Celia tried to bargain.
"I'll give you two dollars less at most. Thirty three."
The shopkeeper went to entertain other customers. She didn't care Celia would buy it or not. Since
every woman love clothes, even if it was in the 80's, so she had nothing to worry about.
