Ever since Song Yao released the news that she was collecting eggs, poultry, and vegetables, many villagers had sent the things they had at home over, hoping to sell them for a good price.
Song Yao took the egg from Mrs. Wang and weighed it. It was a little small. Although it couldn't be sent to a state-owned restaurant, it could still be sold at a low price on the market.
There was also the cabbage that Mrs. Liu had sent over. It didn't look very fresh. Song Yao bought it for two cents a catty and planned to sell it at the market. Song Yao started collecting the other fresh vegetables at five cents. When the villagers heard that fresh vegetables in the fields could be exchanged for more money, they started to pluck the vegetables in the fields. Only when Song Yao said that there were enough vegetables today did the villagers give up. However, before they left, they still told Song Yao to keep the cabbage for herself.
