Zhou Sining looked at the back of Xiaoxia who was scared away, and couldn't help laughing.

She didn't lie to anyone, she didn't lie to anyone, she had already calculated the cost when she decided to raise quail.

If the breeding process can be carried out according to her plan, and there are no major mistakes, the cost of each quail will be about three cents.

When the quail grows up, the male quail will definitely have to be disposed of, and she can't do it in vain, so the tentative price is five cents, and what she earns is a hard-earned money.

As for the female quail, she still has to raise and lay eggs.

The lifespan of a quail is generally about two years, and from the beginning of hatching, the female quail is generally raised to thirty-five to forty days before laying eggs, and the egg production begins to decline after ten months, that is, the female quail can be raised for a year.

According to the fact that a quail lays two eggs a day, and one egg sells for one penny, the female quail can make a profit for her for six dollars.

So if she counts a female quail for only a dime, it's the price of cabbage.

The successful hatching of the little quail gave Zhou Sining great encouragement, and the successful use of the hatching bucket was the first part of her plan. Looking at those little quails jumping around, she felt that the unity of the crowd was not far from her.

Life has a rush, and I feel that this time flies too fast, and before much, this week has passed again.

Zhou Jiguo came home on the weekend and found that there were a bunch of small quails at home.

"Sister, your bucket can really hatch little quails. Zhou Jiguo was very surprised, he really didn't take it seriously when he saw the eldest sister tossing, he had heard of modern incubators, and had seen old hens hugging their nests and old ladies touching eggs, but he had never seen anyone who carried a bucket and put a few pieces of honeycomb coal to hatch eggs into chickens.

Of course, a quail is not a chicken, it is a bird, but it is also hatched from eggs.

"Of course, you think I'm joking. Zhou Sining raised his chin with a smug expression.

She knew that when she first saw her tossing, not only Zhou Jiguo, but also the landlord Sister-in-law Sun thought she was tossing blindly, but they didn't say it in their mouths. Now that the facts are in front of her, she is definitely not a blind toss, and she has a theoretical basis for doing things.

"How many are this, this, how many are there?" Zhou Jiguo asked, pointing to the basket.

"One hundred and two. "The frail quails were cared for by her, and two of them eventually died.

"That's a lot. Zhou Jiguo couldn't help but squat down and look at these little quails who were obviously frightened by him.

"I told you, this is just the first batch, and if you come back next week, you will probably see 200 quails. After this batch of shells, she immediately picked a hundred eggs and put them into the hatching buckets, hoping that people would not stop the barrels, and her family had a continuous stream of small quails coming out of the shells, "Have you contacted the bean dregs I told you last week? My quails are all out of the shells, and they have been fed cornmeal for the past few days, just waiting for your bean dregs." ”

"I'll go ask you now. Zhou Jiguo stood up and walked out, he felt that so many quails were waiting to eat with their mouths open, and bean dregs were a big problem.

"Hey, you don't have to be in such a hurry even if you ask, I'll go after dinner. Zhou Sining greeted from behind.

"It's okay, I'll be fast, I'll go back as soon as I go. "If he doesn't determine the bean dregs, he won't be at ease eating.

He just took the livelihood of these little quails on his shoulders.

Well, well, that's how responsible men should be.

"No, it's so late, can there still be people in the tofu shop?" Zhou Sining became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, because the person was gone.

"Auntie, is my Uncle Zhou back?"

At this time, Xiaoxia jumped over and looked into the house.

"What's the matter, do you have something to do with your Uncle Zhou?" Zhou Sining knew what she was going to do as soon as she saw her expression.

"Hey, hey, it's not a big deal, just ask Uncle Zhou if he's going to chop wood this week. Xiaoxia has tasted the sweetness in the past two weeks, and she is looking forward to Uncle Zhou coming back soon, she can go to the mountains with her, of course, if Uncle Fu also goes, it would be better to beat a rabbit by the way, thinking of the few pieces of rabbit blood she ate last weekend, she couldn't help but suck Ha Lazi.

"I don't know this, your Uncle Zhou went out to do some errands, you wait for him to come back and ask him yourself." Zhou Sining is also not sure if the male protagonist has anything else to do this weekend.

"Hey, hey, I know what you say in your family, if you let Uncle Zhou chop wood, my Uncle Zhou will definitely be obedient." "That means I'm asking you if you're going this week.

"Hehe, I can't be the master of this, you better wait for your Uncle Zhou to come back and ask him yourself. ”

Xiaoxia didn't entangle, turned around and squatted at the gate of the courtyard, she was ready to wait for the rabbit, and she would confirm the matter as soon as Uncle Zhou came back.

Zhou Jiguo did go back as he said, and in only twenty minutes before and after, he ran back.

"Uncle Zhou, you're back, I've been waiting for you for a while. Xiaoxia saw that the person was back, and jumped up happily.

She was so excited that she startled Zhou Jiguo, who had just entered the yard, "Oh, Xiaoxia, are you looking for me?"

"Hey, hey, I'm just asking if you're going to chop wood this week. After that, she didn't forget to mention, "I see that half of the branches in my aunt's yard have been burned, and if we don't go this week, I estimate that there are not enough for my aunt to burn next week." ”

Zhou Jiguo looked at the root of the wall where the firewood was pushed, and indeed went down to a piece, thinking that the eldest sister had raised so many quails, the stove in this heavenly house could not be extinguished, and the demand for fuel must have increased a lot compared to usual, although he didn't mind providing the eldest sister to burn coal, but the eldest sister, who was thrifty by nature, must be distressed, so let's go to the mountain again and pull some firewood back.

"Eldest sister, do you have anything for me to do on the weekend? If not, then I will call Brother Fu, and we will go to the mountains again. ”

"It's not a big deal for me to get there, but you'll have to help me get the oka settled this week, and if you don't have it, you'll have to help me find a way to buy some cornmeal back. "No matter what, the little quails still have to be fed, so feed is indispensable.

"There is bean dregs, I just happened to meet their leader when I went, and told him that if you want bean dregs in the future, you can go to them at about six o'clock in the morning, but for the time being, they can only give you a bucket every day at most, is it enough?" Zhou Jiguo hurriedly reported to the eldest sister what had just happened.

"Enough, enough. Although I don't know how big the bucket is for the bean dregs, but the quails eat less now, one bucket a day is definitely enough, "How much is a bucket?" This is what she cares about, and the okara is also considered food, and it is impossible to give it for nothing.

"Two cents. I think their bucket can hold about ten pounds. Zhou Jiguo said.

That is to say, the price of okara is almost two cents a catty, and now cornmeal is four cents a catty, which is the selling price of the grain store.

"Okay, then I'll go and come back tomorrow morning with a bucket. ”
