The next day, Wang Xiaoqiang notified his sister-in-law, Liu Juyi, to keep an eye on things for him as he found a basket at home, put sixty-three Wild Mountain Eggs into it, covered them with a piece of black cloth, and carried them off to the county town.

First, he took the rural-urban bus to Huagui County Town's bus station, then took the public transit to the county's agricultural market. Carrying a basket of pheasant eggs on the bus was truly inconvenient; he was careful every step of the way because a moment's inattention could mean the eggs would break.

Wang Xiaoqiang thought that once the Chicken Farm got onto a more formal footing, he definitely needed to buy a car, which would make traveling much more convenient.

The agricultural market in Huagui County Town was bustling with activity; the customers were shoulder-to-shoulder, and there were plenty of both buyers and sellers. Shops lined the streets—selling grain, vegetables, pork, fish, chicken, and duck. Of course, there were also those selling chicken eggs, but there was no one selling Wild Mountain Eggs.

Wang Xiaoqiang carried a basket of Wild Mountain Eggs around the market, asked about the price of eggs, and then inquired if there were any Wild Mountain Eggs for sale, to which the answer was no.

One skinny shop owner responded to Wang Xiaoqiang's question and promptly said, "Young man, stop asking around, where would you find any Wild Mountain Eggs these days? Even if there were any, they would be from hybrid chickens... "

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang turned back and was about to leave when he neared a shop selling eggs, where a shrewd-looking owner beckoned to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Young man, come here... Aren't you looking for Wild Mountain Eggs? I have some here..."

As Wang Xiaoqiang approached, the shopkeeper pointed to a basket of eggs in front of the store and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Here, young man, is this basket enough for you? If it's not, I have more inside my shop... "

Wang Xiaoqiang glanced over and saw that they were light red-shelled eggs with little to distinguish them from regular chicken eggs, except they were slightly larger. They were nothing like Wild Mountain Eggs.

"Boss, you've never seen Wild Mountain Eggs, have you!" Wang Xiaoqiang scoffed, raising his gaze to stare at the shop owner,

The shop owner's eyes darted around, and with a stern face, he said, "Hey, young man, what kind of way is that to speak? What do you mean I've never seen them? These are Wild Mountain Eggs; they're the real deal, ten-fold refund if they're fake..."

"You stand by your word?" Wang Xiaoqiang deliberately raised his voice. His shout immediately drew a few onlookers.

Seeing a crowd gathering, the shop owner instantly panicked. Just a while ago, he heard Wang Xiaoqiang asking the neighboring shops about Wild Mountain Eggs, and he had thought Wang Xiaoqiang really wanted to buy some. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was young, he assumed that Wang Xiaoqiang had never seen Wild Mountain Eggs, so he pointed to the hybrid eggs hoping to deceive him for some money.

Little did he expect Wang Xiaoqiang to see right through the ruse and moreover to shout and draw such a crowd. Business relies on reputation; if people found out he tricked customers, his egg business would probably be doomed.

Realizing this, the shop owner blustered... "Kid, do you want to buy eggs or not? If not, then go away where it's cool and don't interfere with my business..."

These words only infuriated Wang Xiaoqiang more; it was bad enough to be deceived, but now he damn well was being told to scram. He resolved not to leave. With that thought, Wang Xiaoqiang raised his voice even louder, "Everyone, come take a look, see the Wild Mountain Eggs this shop is selling..."

Wild Mountain Eggs contain a rich amount of protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium that the body needs. The protein is of high quality, beneficial for repairing liver tissue damage;

Rich in DHA, lecithin, and lutein, Wild Mountain Eggs are good for the nervous system and physical development, can improve brain health and memory, and promote liver cell regeneration;

Eggs also contain an abundance of vitamin B and other trace elements which can decompose and oxidize carcinogens in the human body, thus having anti-cancer properties.

The highly nutritious Wild Mountain Eggs, which are already scarce, sometimes attract mountain farmers to come and hawk them here. Virtually as soon as the goods arrive, they are snapped up by eager buyers. City folks don't mind spending money; they just fear missing out on quality goods.

Upon hearing someone shouting about Wild Mountain Eggs, a large crowd immediately swarmed in curiosity, peering at the various eggs laid out in front of the shop, only to realize after a while that they couldn't see any Wild Mountain Eggs, they clamored:

"Are there really Wild Mountain Eggs? Show us quickly... "

"Boss, where are your Wild Mountain Eggs?"

The shop owner turned pale, realizing he had trapped himself. He didn't actually have any Wild Mountain Eggs; he just wanted to pass off hybrid eggs as Wild Mountain Eggs to cheat Wang Xiaoqiang out of a little more money. Instead, he had dug his own grave. As the crowd asked about Wild Mountain Eggs, his face turned alternately red and white, and he was at a loss for words.

Pointing at his hybrid eggs, Wang Xiaoqiang said to the people around him, "Well, these are the Wild Mountain Eggs this boss here claimed to have..."

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could finish, the crowd had already scornfully declared as they stared at the hybrid eggs:

"Pah, those are Wild Mountain Eggs!"

"Even a blind person could see that those are hybrid eggs. How can you cheat people like that?!"

"Young man, be careful not to be fooled, hybrid eggs can't compare to wild mountain eggs. Hybrid eggs cost 7 yuan per jin, pheasant eggs 40 yuan per jin; that's a huge price difference!"

40 yuan per jin made Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skip a beat. It seemed Liu Xianghong was right; wild mountain eggs could indeed sell for five yuan each. In terms of size, eight wild mountain eggs really did make up one jin.

"Boss, is this how you deceive your customers?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked coldly and sneered at the owner.

Seeing disdain and scorn directed at him from the crowd and now being condemned by Wang Xiaoqiang, the owner was at a loss for a retort. He just sneered and countered, "Young man, then you tell me, what do wild mountain eggs look like?"

"Sorry, I can't describe them, but I can let you see for yourself what real wild mountain eggs are."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he lifted the basket in his hand and quickly pulled off the black cloth that covered it. Suddenly, a basketful of wild mountain eggs was revealed. The greenish-tinged white shells didn't seem special, but anyone who had seen them before could recognize them at first glance.

So, when a basket of wild mountain eggs was placed before everyone, all eyes lit up followed by a burst of astonished chatter:

"Wow, these are really wild mountain eggs!"

"That's right, the wold mountain eggs I bought last time looked just like this..."

"Young man, where did you buy these wild mountain eggs?"

The owner, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang reveal a basket of wild mountain eggs and his already embarrassed face now looking like a liver, thought to himself that this was like deliberately picking a quarrel!

"These wild mountain eggs aren't bought; they're collected from the mountains, naturally pure, and original in flavor..." Wang Xiaoqiang boasted modestly.

"So, young man, are you here to sell them...?"

"Young man, sell these eggs to me. I'll take the whole lot at 40 yuan per jin, and I won't shortchange you a cent..."

"Why should you take the whole lot? I'm buying the lot too! Young man, how do you want to sell?"

Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected the wild mountain eggs to be so popular. Without any need to solicit, people were seeking him out to buy. He decided to accommodate everyone's wishes and said, "I was originally planning to give them away, but seeing that everyone is interested, I might as well sell. However, I don't have a scale, so let's sell by the piece at five yuan each..."

The owner, who already had a bellyful of anger, now saw Wang Xiaoqiang setting up shop in front of his store to sell eggs and steal his business, and he wasn't going to have it. He rushed out from the back of his shop, yelling, "I'm telling you, you country bumpkin, do you have any idea of the rules? Can you sell eggs right in front of someone else's store?!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt his anger surging, but before he could open his mouth, the people had already started to retort on his behalf:

"Damn, what's the big deal? You, as the owner scam your customers and still have the nerve to shout? Believe it or not, I'll call and report you." A middle-aged man with glasses said.

"Let him sell here, let's see what you can do about it. Believe it or not, I'll smash your store!" A burly man with a buzz cut and fierce eyes said.

Scared, the owner shrank his neck and retreated back into his shop.

Seeing the owner scolded back into his store, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a burst of satisfaction. He sold the wild mountain eggs right there in front of the store, by the piece. To satisfy everyone, he didn't agree to sell the whole lot to one person. Although selling in small batches was more troublesome, it led to positive feedback.

The crowd praised him for a while, saying this country lad was truly honest,

Of course, the sixty-some eggs were not nearly enough for everyone. Those who didn't get any asked Wang Xiaoqiang if his home still had wild mountain eggs and whether he would come to sell again. Some even asked for Wang Xiaoqiang's phone number; he responded by saying he would come again to sell, but he did not leave his phone number with anyone.
