In Zhengzhou, Henan province on Thursday morning, a man in a motorized
three-wheel wagon was a bit eager at a yellow light, according to a
witness, and crashed into another vehicle, causing him to lose his cargo
of 700 jin of raw eggs. We’re not talking about a restaurant server
dropping a stack of plates here — 1 jin equals approximately 500 grams,
so what we have is 770 pounds of eggs, if you choose to believe it. That
amount could serve an entire block of restaurants for a week, and would
cost — for some — a month’s salary. (Assuming an egg weighs 2 ounces —
it might if it were large and you rounded up — we’re looking at more
than 6,000 eggs.)
While some helped the man collect his spillage, others came with plastic bags for their own benefit.
