Chapter 340: Selling Chickens
When you get up in the morning, everyone helps to harvest the vegetables that can be sold in the vegetable garden, and it doesn't take half an hour to get it.
"It's been a long time since I've experienced a scene like this." Hong Lao said with a cabbage. The scene of everyone working together reminded him of the time when the people were communized and ate big pot rice in the fifties and sixties.
When he first saw these vegetables, he was also very surprised. According to Lao Wan, these vegetables have not been sprayed with pesticides or chemical fertilizers, but they seem to be better than other people's pesticides and fertilizers.
"Yes! It's funny to think about. ”
"It was a bit hard, but it was fulfilling." They are not the kind of people who are criticized, so they don't have that sense of oppression, which is interesting and fulfilling. Some of them were driven to the countryside, and that was the mental and physical exhaustion.
Zhou Furong and Xu Bimei picked up a bright red tomato and ate it, and they didn't mind the residual dew on it. In fact, many people present have tried this scene, even Wan Lao is no exception.
Chu Jiaqiang, Chen Wu and others specialize in catching yellow cockroaches, fish, shrimp and crabs, etc., and they are still as heavy as ever. Those buyers are helpless, and they just provide them in quantity, which is far from meeting their white spoon needs.
"Boss Chu, I think your chickens and ducks are almost the same, when did you weigh them?" A stocker asked. These people have been staring at these chickens and ducks for a long time. Now it seems that each estimate also has a sample of five or six catties, and in their opinion, it can already be shipped.
This batch of chickens and ducks has been raised for more than four months, in the countryside, chickens and ducks are generally raised for more than half a year, at that time a chicken may weigh seven or eight pounds. However, professional breeding farms generally do not keep them for so long, about three months. Because the more chickens and ducks are raised, the more difficult it is to grow, and as soon as their high-speed growth period passes, people will hurry to find a buyer and will not raise a waste of feed.
"How's the market going now?" Chu Jiaqiang asked.
"Like this kind of pure free-range chicken, we generally buy it from fifteen to twenty-five pounds. I see that your chickens are of high quality, so I'll give you twenty-five pounds! Satisfied! "That person gave the highest price directly in the market, hoping that Chu Jiaqiang would sell it quickly. The other two people also said that they would give twenty-five, afraid that Chu Jiaqiang would sell all the chickens to that guy.
"Second uncle, what do you think?" Chu Jiaqiang turned to Chu Shengmin.
Chu Shengmin originally wanted to raise them for another month or two, and then sell them after they had grown and set. However, he also knows that the best growth period of this batch of chickens has passed, and although there is still room for weight gain in the future, it will be slower and slower. And people gave such a high price, I didn't even think about it before.
"These chickens are yours, naturally you decide. However, I don't think you should sell them all, keep some, raw eggs and chicks, etc., and you don't have to buy eggs to eat in the future, and you don't have to buy chickens all the time. The second uncle put forward his thoughts.
Chu Jiaqiang thought for a while and decided to sell three-quarters of it and keep the rest. Especially the very smart chicken, even if he is willing, others are not willing to do it. As for the big white geese, they are guarded in the backyard, so naturally they can't be sold.
This time, it was the turn of the heads of the three hotels to quarrel, and it was nothing more than a matter of share.
"What's so noisy about this? Didn't you have a share agreement in the first place? Just assign it according to that! Ye Caiping said.
Get! The hostess spoke. They have to be distributed according to the strength of the hotel. I helped weigh it and found that this batch of chickens was very even, almost every one of them was six to seven catties, and there was little fluctuation. It can also be seen from this that these chickens are indeed very good.
Ye Caiping got rid of the initial cost of about 2,000 yuan, and found that the three-quarters of the chickens and ducks sold made about 30,000 yuan.
"Only now do I realize that in the countryside, money is so easy to make. Twenty-five pounds of chicken? It's so expensive! I remember that when my family bought vegetables, the chicken was about ten yuan a catty. Still, those are feed chickens, I also understand. Liang Yu sighed.
The three stockmen settled the bill and hurried away, because they knew that there were several families in the village that had chickens, all of which were about the same size, but the water was not so good. They have seen before, the villagers have never been fed, they will sprinkle a little millet in the morning, or mix porridge with rice bran to feed them, and then let them run all over the village, they are all authentic and good chickens.
The families who raised chickens in the village were overjoyed when they heard that they were asking for chickens. They had the same idea as Chu Shengmin, they all wanted to raise it for another two months, but they begged for it, and the price was also high, so they couldn't care about it so much.
At the beginning, when they raised chickens with Chu Jiaqiang, they were still very worried, there were so many Bi Jing, and if there was chicken plague in the middle process, it would be miserable. Watching the chickens slowly die is the most distressing thing for a chicken farmer. Even if it goes smoothly, in the end, it is raised, and it is miserable if it can't be sold. It's okay if it's just three or five, at most I'll keep it for the New Year, but so much is not a joke.
Fortunately, during this time, with the arrival of tourists, there is no fear that domestic chickens will not be sold. Of course, it's best to pull it away all at once.
The buyer didn't play dumb riddles with them, and told them clearly and bluntly that Chu Jiaqiang's batch of twenty-five was not so good for him, and he could only give twenty-two. This was already a great surprise to the villagers, and there was no more ink, and the contract was quickly signed.
"Good! We can't eat so much at once, and Boss Chu's batch is enough for us for three or four days. Keep you for now, and I'll come and trade in a few days. The man said with satisfaction.
"No problem, no problem! You can come here whenever you want. The villager had already made a silent calculation in his heart. I raised a total of two hundred, and now each is more than five catties, twenty-two per catty, that is more than 20,000, except for the insignificant cost, at least 20,000 yuan, which is similar to what Chu Jiaqiang expected before.
The incident of selling chickens soon spread in Chujiazhai, and it was destined to be unpeaceful again. Their batch of chickens is only more than four months old, and they can earn 10,000 yuan by raising 100 chickens, which is much better than going out to work.
Many people who later returned to their hometowns were very lucky, if they hadn't come back, they would never have believed that the village is so promising now, and it is better to do a drum casually than to wander outside.
This message is a boost to the villagers, who are working harder to take care of their orchards, vegetable gardens, etc. The idlers are almost extinct, except for some very old people and children, who are busy in the field almost every day. Farm manure in cattle pens, pigsty and chicken coops is becoming more and more precious. This makes Chujiazhai develop in the direction of a virtuous circle.
