Chapter Eighty-Three: Chicken and Duck Seedlings (Ask for Collection)
Thank you for your support!
Early the next morning, Tang Fatzi and Chu Jiaqiang went to the peanut field to see that almost every iron cage contained a mountain mouse. The smell of the mountain rats last night amazed everyone, and Tang Fat Man was ready to take these mountain rats home.
After eating at noon, I sent away Tang Fatzi, a foodie. This guy caught ten mountain mice, a big bag of mountain mushrooms, which were picked by the children in the village in the morning, and Chu Jiaqiang's fish, shrimp and crabs. Almost each of those children earned more than ten yuan, hid most of the money, and then a group of people flocked to the only small shop in Chujiazhai.
Because of the help of Chu Jiaqiang and others, the peanuts of the second uncle's family were completed in two days.
Chu Jiaqiang went out and brought back a batch of fine bamboo. This is the bamboo that is specially made for the fence outside, and with the help of everyone, the fence was made in half a day. At this time, the whole backyard looks very professional.
In the afternoon, he went to the town again, this time for the chickens and ducks. Two days ago, he asked the fifth uncle to build a row of chicken coops next to the orchard, not far from the big ditch. These chickens and ducks can't let them run into the house, they everywhere, it's too unhygienic, which makes the Chu family very unhappy.
There are a lot of chickens and ducks in the town, but business is not very good now. Raising chickens and ducks in the countryside is also time-splitting, generally caught in the spring, and when it comes to the autumn equinox, many people sell chickens, and have to keep a few for the New Year. Because they have been raised for a long time, these chickens are all big steers of about ten catties, and one can be sold for dozens of yuan.
There is also the fact that it is generally not raised a lot, and more than 20 or so is the limit, mainly because it is difficult to sell in rural areas. Generally, I just keep it for myself, and if I have the opportunity, I will sell some.
It is very important to look at the chicken and duck seedlings to shop around, and when I stepped forward, a burst of mixed with the smell of feed came to my nose, and the chickens and ducklings on both sides chattered non-stop.
As soon as Chu Jiaqiang stepped forward, two bosses introduced their chickens and ducklings one after another, Chu Jiaqiang just smiled and nodded to them, saying hello, but he didn't start. After reading it, he walked towards the most unattended family. When I passed this road just now, the bosses on both sides would say a few words, but this boss was silent, looking at a book and being fascinated, as if he hadn't discovered Chu Jiaqiang's pass.
It's not that his chickens and ducklings are bad, on the contrary, these gears are the best and the most lively in his chickens and ducks. But at the same time, his prices are the most expensive, each one is five cents more expensive than others.
Chu Jiaqiang took a closer look, it was a middle-aged and elderly man with a pair of black-framed reading glasses. Now I'm reading a book of chicken and duck breeding, and I'm very serious.
may also feel that there are people around him, so he raised his head: "Just take a look." After saying that, he looked down at the book again.
Chu Jiaqiang smiled dumbly, such a person is really rare.
"Boss, there seems to be no difference between your business and Mrs. Jiang's fishing!" Chu Jiaqiang said.
"Huh! Isn't this a bait? You should also see my chicken and duck seedlings, I dare not say that it is the best, but here, it is definitely in the top two. The boss said with a smile.
"It's true that the chickens and ducklings are good, I admit it, but it's also a lot more expensive, can it be cheaper?" Chu Jiaqiang also enjoys the fun of bargaining.
The boss waved his hand: "This is not negotiable, of course, if you buy it in large quantities, I can give it to you at the market price." The boss wouldn't let go.
Chu Jiaqiang glanced at what he had put out, there were fifty chickens and fifty ducklings. He was going to raise a little more, anyway, these two kinds of poultry are easy to raise in the countryside, and in the morning he got up and sprinkled some rice for them to peck. The rest of the time, they will dig on their own, and many termites in the ground are their best food.
The chickens and ducks raised in this way are the most authentic raw birds, and some are close to the nature of the wild. In particular, more than half of the eggs laid by hens are double yellow, and the nutritional value is very high. In the city, many of them are artificial eggs, and even if they are real eggs, the double yellow ones are definitely a rarity.
"You're not going to have that, are you?" Chu Jiaqiang pointed to the chicks in the chicken coop and asked.
As soon as these words came out, the other party immediately realized that Chu Jiaqiang was a big customer, and he straightened his mind: "How much do you want?" There are quite a few more in my chicken farm. The quality is all the same and can be taken to see you. If you have more, I can give it to you at the market price. ”
"Two hundred chickens and a hundred ducklings!" Chu Jiaqiang said.
When the boss heard this, it was really a big customer: "Okay, I'll take you to see it now, it's not far away, it's very close." ”
After speaking, he cleaned up the stall, led Chu Jiaqiang out of the street, and walked towards the field. The chicken farm is very simple, surrounded on four sides, one side lives people, and the other three sides are chicken and duck houses. Big hens are leading flocks of chicks to gouge in the open space of the chicken farm. There is a woman in it, who is probably the boss's wife.
As soon as they entered, several big white geese actually walked towards Chu Jiaqiang angrily, stretching their necks one by one, as if they were going to twist Chu Jiaqiang's body.
The boss yelled at them, and the big white geese faded their fierce appearances and left one by one.
"Are you a white goose or a dog?" Chu Jiaqiang had never raised geese before, and he didn't know that the big white goose could also protect the hospital.
Literally, the word from the bird, from me, I also sound. The original meaning of "I" is "the person who holds the war", and it is translated into "royal family" and "noble". The word "I" and "bird" are combined to mean "the bird of the war", "the bird of the guard like a police dog", "the bird of the royal family", and "the poultry of the nobility".
The big white goose can not only lay eggs and eat meat, but also can take care of the house, and when a living person enters the yard, it will whip its wings and screw people with a flat beak. Don't look at them on the outside, they are docile and amiable, but the strength of the mouth that screws on a person is not small, and a twist is a piece of bruise.
"Huh! The big white goose is the leader of the housekeeper, and as long as they see that no one from the family enters the house, they will attack, even if they are often in the house. The boss explained with a smile.
Chu Jiaqiang was a little moved, and immediately said, "You should have goose seedlings here, right?" If you have, just give me ten. ”
"Okay, I'll help you get it right away, or you can pick it yourself, I'll pick it up." This boss is also a real person.
There are five chicken seedlings each, and six duck seedlings and goose seedlings. After paying nearly two thousand yuan, Chu Jiaqiang informed Chu Shengyi and asked him to drive over. The boss helped to put the chickens, ducks and geese into the big bamboo cage, and then moved them outside together.
Chu Shengyi was also startled when he saw Chu Jiaqiang's posture: "Jiaqiang, why are you raising so many chickens and ducks?" ”
"Anyway, I'm more idle at home, so it's good to raise some poultry to pass the time." Chu Jiaqiang did not explain in front of the boss.
Back in Chujiazhai, the people in the village came to watch, and the old village chief was among them, and he asked Chu Jiaqiang: "Jiaqiang, raise so many chickens and ducks, will you be able to sell them then?" ”
The people in the village also feel that young people are still too reckless, and there is rarely chicken plague in the countryside, and it is indeed not very troublesome to raise chickens and ducks, which is very easy to raise, but who do you sell it to? There are almost every family in the village, and at most the town may sell a few a day during festivals.
"Huh! Rest assured! We don't feed these free-range chickens, which are very popular in the city. When the time comes, you can contact a hotel outside, and you can get these chickens and ducks all-inclusive. If it's too little, it's too far, and people won't pay attention to you. Chu Jiaqiang said.
"If you raise so much, you can make a lot of money, right?"
"I'll count with you, a chicken seedling costs five yuan, after we raise it, basically there are about ten catties, and these chickens can be sold for about 100 yuan outside. One hundred is 10,000, and the cost of 100 chicks is 500 yuan, usually at most feed some rice, or some bran mixed gruel, and at other times they can go out to find food, the cost of which is almost negligible. Everyone should be able to count this number. ”
Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's words, many people muttered. They never thought of raising chickens in batches, it was too risky. At this time, it is obvious that there are already people who are moved, Chu Jiaqiang is right, the cost is not too big, although a few hundred yuan feels a little painful, but the profit behind is exciting.
