After Chen Wenjun left, Lin Qin also kept busy. In the afternoon, when the sun wasn't as harsh, she took wild duck eggs and fish to the roadside to sell. From there, she could keep an eye on the fishing boats, and since the cabin door was locked, she wasn't worried about anyone trying to break in.
Just as she set up her goods, a passerby came by to ask about the price, "How much for the duck eggs?"
Lin Qin quickly responded warmly, "These are fresh wild duck eggs, feeding on water plants, fish, and shrimp. They're 20 cents each. Grass carp, crucian carp, and common carp are all priced the same—1.5 yuan per jin. Big snails are 0.15 yuan per jin, all large ones!"
"The price is indeed cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative's."
"Indeed! The cooperative's goods aren't as good as mine!"
The person carefully compared and bought a grass carp weighing more than a jin, and four jin of snails. After Lin Qin's enthusiastic sales pitch, they also purchased six duck eggs.
