Chapter 44: Buying Chicks
Li Xinbang, Yang Fengyue, and Li Yunshan rode to the poultry seedling wholesale market, and as soon as they entered, they heard the chirping of chickens, ducklings, and geese.
Although Lugang County has been urbanizing rapidly in recent years, it is still a large agricultural county, and there has always been a great demand for all kinds of poultry seedlings and livestock cubs.
As the saying goes, where there is demand, there will be a market, and where there is a market, there will naturally be production and supply.
In the poultry wholesale market, there are not only self-employed people who come to sell with baskets, but also several large-scale poultry hatchery bases have opened stores here.
Li Yunshan looked at it with great interest, those cute chicken seedlings that were only the size of a child's fist, and from time to time reached out to touch the fluffy feathers.
Chicks are no better than spiritual animals such as puppies, and inexperienced people can't see the quality of chicks at all, and they will only feel that they are the same no matter how they look.
Li Yunshan, who only reads sage books, although she is a child who grew up in the countryside, she also can't tell the difference between good and bad, so she has to honestly follow her parents and watch how they carefully check and select in front of each chicken frame.
Shopping around is the tradition of most rural people to buy things, and it is the habit of rural people to pursue the highest cost performance.
In order to buy satisfactory chicken seedlings, Li Xinbang and Yang Fengyue were very patient, and read the twenty or thirty bamboo baskets in turn.
There are a dozen or so poultry wholesale markets selling chicks, and the chicks will sell fastest during this time, and the rest of the poultry and livestock are not yet the peak buying season.
After careful comparison, Li Xingbang and Yang Fengyue summed it up and came to the poultry store in the middle.
The boss is a middle-aged woman, seeing the three members of the Li family going and returning, a confident smile appeared on her face, and said with a smile: "Big brother, aunt, what I just said is right, real gold is not afraid of fire, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." It's not that I'm here to brag nonsense, in fact, the chicken seedlings we sell are the best in the county, and they are absolutely not bullied! ”
"Big sister, it's not easy for us rural people to buy something, so naturally we have to be careful. What breed of chicken seedlings are yours, how many pieces are there? Regarding the female boss's self-selling and boasting, Li Xinbang was noncommittal and asked the price directly.
The female boss replied: "I believe you have seen a lot of it and have a comparison." You get what you pay for, and relatively speaking, my chicks are a little higher than those sold by other families. You see, these are local chicken seedlings, green foot hemp chicken seedlings, five black chicken seedlings, Luhua chicken seedlings, and three yellow chicken seedlings, and the unified price is five yuan a piece. ”
The female boss didn't wait for Li Xinbang to bargain, and began to talk about the advantages of these chicken seedlings: "Native chickens, that is, grass chickens, stupid chickens, and firewood chickens." Because of its delicious meat, rich nutrition and pollution-free, meat and eggs are green foods, which are favored by people, and the price is rising. Native eggs have high nutritional value and are very popular, and the egg price is also higher than that of ordinary eggs.
Green-footed hemp chicken: green-footed, hemp feathers. The meat is delicate, the nutritional value is high, it has the characteristics of "local chicken" in the mountainous area, it has strong adaptability, fast growth, low cost, high profit, and is a meat-type variety.
Five black chickens: also known as "five black and one green chicken", the egg shell is green, and it is a rare rare bird in the world. "Green Shell Egg Five Black Chicken" meat is delicate, delicious, melanin has medicinal value, and contains a large amount of lecithin, vitamins and trace elements.
Luhua Chicken: The chicken has the same body shape, characterized by an erect neck, slightly high. It is a typical lean type of rare poultry and game, so its adult chicken has high economic value. The taste of food is beautiful, tender and smooth without greasy mouth, the fragrance has a long aftertaste, it is a black health food, which has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing kidneys, generating blood and replenishing qi, strengthening the body and brain.
Three Yellow Chickens: Named for their yellow feathers, yellow beaks, and yellow feet. Adult chickens weigh about 3-4 kg, and the chicken is tender, crispy and soft-boned, plump and delicious. Thus recognized by the whole world, the three yellow chickens are one of the most famous local chickens in China. ”
Li Yunshan didn't know much about the price, but when she heard that these chicken seedlings had so many advantages, her eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to buy them all back and raise them quickly.
Seeing the room full of chicken seedlings, Li Yunshan seemed to see a bunch of movable soft girl coins, and began to constantly calculate in her heart, how to advertise on the Internet, how to make baby detail pages, and how to send chicken and eggs through express delivery.
Li Xinbang shook his head and said, "Big sister, it's usually only two or three yuan a piece outside, but you sell it for five yuan a piece here, you're too expensive, right?" ”
The female boss said with a pleasant face: "Big brother, I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing the goods." Our chicks are more expensive, that makes sense, you will never lose money if you buy it. Of course, if you ask for more, the price can still be appropriately reduced. ”
Yang Fengyue interjected: "Let's buy 500 first, how much cheaper can you be?" ”
The female boss realized that she might have met a big buyer, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "If you buy more than 500 pieces at a time, then I can cheapen each one yuan!" ”
Li Xinbang continued to ask: "Four yuan is still a bit expensive. Big sister, can you have less? ”
The female boss shook her head slightly, and said very sincerely: "Big brother, aunt, I see that you are also real people, and I will also tell you the truth."
The incubation base opened by our family also made a lot of money. The best hatching rate is 95%, and excluding the number of poultry deaths, the depreciation of machinery and equipment, and the consumption of people eating horses, I can give you the biggest discount is four yuan a piece. If it were cheaper, we would have lost all our money. ”
Although the female boss said the same as the truth, Li Xinbang didn't believe that she would really sell to himself at a loss, and his habit of careful calculation made him continue to bargain: "Big sister, I won't hide it from you, our family has opened a new farm."
This time, we just tried the water first, and the number of chicks we need in the future is much older. If you open the right price and the chicks are good enough, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. ”
When the female boss heard this, a flash of brilliance flashed on her face, and she nodded and said, "Big brother, otherwise, this is our first cooperation, and I really can't reduce this price for you." If you come to me next time to buy so much, I'll definitely give you a cheaper price, don't you think? ”
Seeing that the female boss really didn't let go, Li Xinbang and Yang Fengyue exchanged glances, then they answered, and directly took out 2,000 yuan and handed it to the female boss: "These five kinds of chicken seedlings, I want 100 of each, try it first." If it's as you say, we'll all come to you to buy it in the future! ”
The female boss took the money with a smile, put it in the money detector twice, nodded and said, "Then thank you, big brother and aunt for your care." This is my business card, if you have any questions, or if you need to buy another one, just call us. For large customers and regular customers, we can also deliver to your door. ”
Li Xinbang took the business card with a smile, looked at it, and handed it to Li Yunshan, and then with the help of the female boss, they moved the cardboard boxes containing all kinds of chicken seedlings to the tricycle.
