Chapter 54: Chicken Feathers Can Be Sold for Money

The market by the bridge is finally open at night, and people who have been busy all day can not sleep to come and see, and in this season, more transactions in the market are done between the stall people, and the farmers do not have so much time.

Steward Zhang didn't go directly to discuss with the people in the bazaar, but found Ergou, and after some orders, Ergou went to do it immediately.

After finishing the affairs of the two dogs, Steward Zhang arranged for someone to find the twelve people who came today, and soon, the news came back, and the twelve people lived in the water and clouds, and Steward Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and led the doctor on Zhuangzi to ask if there was any discomfort in time, so as to treat it in time.

Ergou got the order to adjust some of the prices in the market in recent days, such as tea, just throw something when you usually drink it, from today until the end of the autumn harvest, no matter who comes to drink tea, it will always be fifty wen a bowl, a little bit of meat buns, twenty wen a piece.

It doesn't matter if you can't sell it, when the business closes in the evening, the grocery store makes up the money that can be earned on average in a day, and buys all the food at the usual price, and if others want to buy it, it must be at the fixed price, which is the advantage of pricing power.

As for the poor people who come to buy things, they don't care about taking more sip of food and less tea, it's not easy to eat, the grocery store has cheap cakes, and there is cool well water for drinking, which doesn't cost money.

This arrangement, including Ergou, doesn't know the reason, he just has to do it, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

In the water and clouds, in the second-class courtyard, several people had an extraordinarily expensive dinner and sat together to discuss things.

"Dongjia, don't you know the officials in the capital, I heard that it is still six grades, it is better to let him come and talk, buy the grain here cheaply, and then we will plant it ourselves, and produce more than four stones per acre of land."

The leper stood next to him, belching at his host, and two people next to him also nodded their heads in agreement.

The proprietor had a gloomy face and didn't speak, just now he had heard the news, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi sold seeds, one hundred yuan a catty, and the shell was counted, the price was not ordinarily high, but thinking about the grain harvested at the time, it seems that this money can also be taken out.

But if you really buy things at such a high price, others will look at you as fools, and you can't get by with your face.

Just when his face was calm and silent, a person next to him who always had squinted eyes spoke: "Is it useful for the Sixth Rank Officer to come here?" I deliberately found a place on the first floor to eat in the restaurant, but you didn't hear what others said, two Zhuangzi, one is an official of the seventh grade, and the other is an official from the seventh grade.

The official level crushes people to death, that means that they are directly subordinate and superior, not whoever comes, really suppress him, they don't impeach you? I heard it just now, the two officials were specially sealed by the imperial court, the two auspicious rui, and once helped the disaster relief in Henan Province, not to mention the six-grade officials in the capital, try to change to a three-grade one? One to the other. ”

"Why?" The leper couldn't figure out why the officials of the third grade couldn't do the two petty officials of the seventh grade of this Zhuangzi.

"Stupid, you came here to lower the price, you don't buy it, you can force it, people say that you press the auspicious land, isn't it the auspicious land that can have such a high yield? Isn't it that after the auspicious drought, there is nothing to do but increase production? Where there is auspiciousness, you reduce the price, that is, you want to suppress the luck of the court.

If you don't say this, everyone knows it, and if you say it, it will become an excerpt, that is the sin of losing your head, and the neck of the third-grade official is harder than the luck of the imperial court? The history of the Honshu Thorn is the prince, listen to the legend of the people in the capital, it is the blind date between the saint and the brother that has auspiciousness, you think about it, what is this? It is light to copy and behead all over the house, and if you don't punish your nine clans, it is all the saints who are not good for their brothers. ”

"So evil? Couldn't Xiao Po Zhuangzi still move? "The leper was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that this Zhuangzi usually couldn't see anything, and he really wanted to deal with it, and he needed to think about so many things.

"Why can't you deal with it like this, but you can use other methods." The man with squinted eyes said again.

The leper knew that this person was the brainchild of the owner, and when he heard that there was another way, he hurriedly said: "I know, I heard that the three of them Zhuangzi in Shuiyunjian Restaurant, I will eat tomorrow and get sick, and when the time comes, hehe......." ”

"Hehe, you also have this ability, will you try it tomorrow? If you get sick from eating, do you see if you eat to death? Don't talk about the idea that you can't move its foundation if you can't make a small fuss. The man sneered, he really looked down on this leper, if it wasn't for his sister to follow the owner, why did he also want to come out and do things?

A person next to the leper pondered for a while and said: "Yes, it is useless to eat the dead, not to mention that the leper can't die, you should think of a complete way, it is better to help them publicize it, just say that the Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang and Wang are auspicious places, and the things produced are better than those produced around the capital, and a few more words will make people believe that the place where the auspicious is produced will produce the emperor." ”

As soon as he said his words, several people around him thought it was feasible, this was really going to kill the two Zhuangzi of King Zhang at once, is the emperor so easy to be?

Even the owner was a little tempted, but the man with squinted eyes shook his head again, "This method can be used to replace someone else as a assassin, and the rule of the prince Li Chengyi must not be used, as long as the news comes out, the prince will enter Beijing to ask for guilt."

Today, the Holy One can let people scrutinize, and if anyone says it, this is not to sow discord between brothers? The prince's place is going to produce an emperor, that is to say, the prince wants to be the emperor, who would believe that the farmer can be the emperor? ”

"Huh? This is not good, why did they Zhuangzi put up a prince's assassination history, what else should they do? You can't really buy a pound of husked rice for a hundred yuan, right? The leper was the most uncompelled of all of them, and when he heard that the idea was also denied, he spoke anxiously.

"Shut up for me and listen to Brother Liu." The proprietor was also troubled, and he was even more irritable when he listened to the leper's words.

"The owner doesn't have to worry, there are still ways, find a few people tomorrow, do it according to our method, and then don't believe him, Zhang Wang, and the two Zhuangzi will not discuss with us." The squinting man sneered, invited a few people out who shouldn't have heard something, and told the remaining three people in the room what to do.

In the autumn harvest season, the farmers are busy, the little baby was supposed to go to the school, with the return of Xiaohong and cherry, those poultry must be fed, the adults are busy, the work has to be handed over to the little baby at home, all the farmers who have raised poultry, the number of chickens, ducks and geese at home is not small.

The little babies got up early, put the poultry out according to the place planned by Zhuangzi, and came to the master's house with empty bags on their backs, and received what the poultry wanted to eat for a day.

These things don't cost them money, they belong to the main family for free, they breed and are considered to be raised, and finally settle together, the main family accounts for eighty percent of all the income, and the dealer accounts for two percent, these two percent are almost free, better than raising themselves, at least don't have to take out something to feed.

The income is not only eggs, but also the money from killing chickens and selling them, and even the chicken feathers, duck feathers and goose feathers are counted as making money by the owner.

Farmers don't know what these poultry wool can do to sell for money, and they usually give others things that others don't want, can they really make money?

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are also studying this issue, wanting to maximize all the benefits.

"What can you do if you give you a pound of chicken feathers?" Zhang Xiaobao got up early in the morning and pulled Wang Juan to study this issue.

"Thrown." Wang Juan replied very simply.

"What about giving you ten pounds?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

"Where did that pound go, and continue to throw it." Wang Juan continued with the same answer.

"How about giving you ten tons of chicken feathers?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

"Well, this thing can be made into some materials, right? There is also a down jacket, it is really not possible to wholesale feather dusters, so much can not be continued. ”

Wang Juan's answer this time was different from the above, there were too many, and when a seemingly useless thing reached a certain amount, it was impossible to continue to treat it as useless, even if it was stone and furnace ash.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't continue to ask this time, pointed outside and said: "We have more than 30,000 poultry in Zhuangzi, and we have to kill them in the end.

What's more, we don't just kill them all, we will raise new ones while killing the old ones, and the accumulation is not small, and now we have to find a way. ”

"What can you do, you can't just make down jackets, right? You have chicken feathers, what about the others? Usually bought on the market, the quality is slightly worse, it will keep leaking, what is the material on the outside of the down jacket? Cloth? Even we don't have cotton now, only silk and linen, with the current textile technology, how can we get out the outer wrapping? Stop dreaming. ”

Wang Juan denied the idea of making down jackets, it is okay to have cotton to make cotton clothes, but there is no feather processing technology, let alone loading it into clothes.

"Who said I was going to make clothes? I can build a house, two layers of wood, or two layers of walls, mixed with slaked lime and chicken feathers in the middle, can't you keep it warm, and glue the picked out poultry feathers in a certain order, and you can also make a boat.

At that time, all the cruise ships on our Xiaoluoshui side will use these wool to make it, and others will see it well, so naturally they will also learn, and we will sell poultry wool to them, how about it? There is only the unthinkable, and there is nothing that cannot be done. ”

Zhang Xiaobao told Wang Juan about the future.
