Chapter 115: Buying Chicks

Some people come, some people go.

After Chen Fan found that Jiang Lili was wrapped in a headscarf, her head seemed to be raised a little, and her two eyes looked curiously to both sides.

As she walked, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed ahead, "Ah, there's a chicken seller there." ”

Chen Fan looked in the direction of her finger and saw an old man putting down a pair of baskets, and then taking a small bench from the dustpan covered by one of the baskets and sitting.

Don't see the chicks?

Jiang Lili, "That's how the chick seller is, the basket is padded with straw, and the chicks are underneath and covered with a dustpan on top. ”

Chen Fan immediately took a big stride, "Let's go." ”

Three steps and two steps, came to the stall, the old man raised his head and looked at the two, and said with a smile, "Buy a chick, right?" If you buy more chickens to raise them, you will have a 'chicken butt bank', and the more you buy, the more you earn. ”

Chicken ass bank?

Chen Fan blinked, instantly understood what it meant, and couldn't help laughing.

Don't say, it's quite an image, spend money to buy chicks first, and wait for the chicks to grow up to lay eggs, an egg a day is 4 cents, 10 eggs are 4 cents, but the more you buy, the more you earn.

When the old man spoke, he had already taken down the two dustpans, and sure enough, below were small chicks with straw, all like plush table tennis balls, crowded in the basket, and Chen Fan's eyes were full of stars.

Oh, the old man's girl's heart!

Then he reached out and grabbed it.

The old man hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, this little chick is very squeamish, and the temperature will be frightened if the temperature is higher or lower, you rub your hands hot first, and then pick slowly." ”

After a pause, he said, "Why don't you say which one you want, I'll pick them out for you one by one." ”

Chen Fan was stunned, is the little chicken so squeamish?

So how am I going to bring it back later?

Jiang Lili squatted next to him and whispered, "Wait a minute, order the straw, spread it on the eggs, and the chickens will be placed on the straw, and then cover a cloth to block the wind." ”

Chen Fan looked at the egg basket, hundreds of small eggs were stacked in the rectangular basket, which only took up one-third of the space, and it was definitely not a problem to put straw on it, and it would definitely not be a problem to load chickens.

Then he turned his head to Jiang Lili and smiled, "You're really smart." ”

Jiang Lili smiled dumbly, it's not that I'm smart, it's that you haven't lived in the countryside.

Next, let's start choosing chickens.

But before Chen Fan could start, Jiang Lili asked, "Uncle, how much does your chick cost?" ”

The old man stretched out two fingers, "One price with the supply and marketing cooperative, 2 cents." ”

Jiang Lili frowned slightly, "Can it be cheaper?" ”

The old man smiled, looked at the two of them and said, "I didn't shout a false price at all, this thing was not hatched at my own house, but also bought from a chicken dealer, and I just made some hard money." ”

Chen Fan's eyes widened, "And the chicken dealers?" ”

Not to mention him, even Jiang Lili looked at the old man incredulously, she has been in Lujiawan for 3 years, and she has only seen people who carry baskets to the village to sell chickens, and she really didn't know that someone was in the business of selling chickens.

The old man looked at him and said confidently, "Why not?" As long as you report to the production team, and the production team issues an export certificate, you can go out and sell chicks.

It is to go out to buy work, the price of this buy work is high, work a day to earn 10 points, not worth 5 cents, but to find the production team to buy work, 5 days to 8 yuan, buy work points to go out. ”

Listening to him talk about these things, Chen Fan felt very magical, so he chased and asked, "Isn't that more than 1 yuan and 5 cents a day?" Can you earn it back by selling chicks? ”

The old man looked left and right, and no one came to buy his chick at this time, so he was willing to talk nonsense with this young man, and laughed,

"It depends on how to make money, those big chicken dealers go directly to the familiar production team hatchery, buy from them, and then take the train to sell in other places, at least more than 1,000 chickens at a time, four or five days, you can earn 2 or 30 yuan in one trip, and you can earn about 20 yuan after deducting the money for buying labor, and it is more than 80 a month, which is higher than being a worker."

He shook his head as he spoke, "It's just that you make a lot of money and lose a lot." If it can't be sold out in four or five days, the remaining chicks will basically not survive, or the weather will be bad, and a thunderstorm will fall, and 7 or 8 of the 10 chickens will die, and they will lose all their money.

Moreover, it is easy to be disliked by people in this business, this little chicken has a smell, even if you take the export certificate of the production team, you don't want to live in the guest house, when you take the car, you don't take two packs of cigarettes, and the driver won't let you get in the car.

When they arrived at the ground, they carried their burdens to the vegetable market to sell, and they also had to send people from the vegetable market management office and the market supervision team, and all sides had to be counted.

In particular, the money for buying labor cannot be saved, and without the certificate of the production team, if you are caught, you will enter the study class, and you will be punished by the market picket. ”

Speaking of this, he patted his pocket and said with a smile, "The most important thing is that the capital can't be less, and if you don't do this, you can't do it like me, so I can only buy a hundred or so from those big chicken dealers, and go to the village to make some money." ”

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Lili again, "I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, you can also go to others to inquire, there are some things that can be inquired."

The big dealers collect chicken seedlings from the hatchery, which is generally 1 cent and 4 cents a piece, and they sell it to individual customers, which is 2 cents a piece, and sell it to a hawker like us, it also costs 1 cent 8, and I earn 2 cents for a chicken seedling, just like that, I have to bear the loss of dead chicken seedlings, and if you want to pay me back the price, then I will do it for nothing. ”

When she said this, even Jiang Lili was embarrassed to bargain, and just muttered, "Then you can give us a little straw." ”

The old man raised his head and sighed, looked at Chen Fan again, and said with emotion on his face, "Your daughter-in-law is amazing, she is really not an ordinary housekeeper!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili's face suddenly turned red, but fortunately, she had a headscarf to cover her face, so she couldn't see it.

She struggled and whispered, "No, no, we're not. ”

Chen Fan also hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "You misunderstood, we are friends." ”

The old man suddenly realized, "Oh, you haven't got married yet? Hurry up, young man, it's hard to find such a daughter-in-law. ”

Chen Fan saw that he couldn't figure it out to him, so he simply pointed to the little chicks and said, "You help me pick a batch, 10 roosters and hens each." ”

Jiang Lili turned her head to look at him, "Why do you want so many cocks?" ”

Chen Fan leaned into her ear and whispered, "Eat meat." ”

Jiang Lili's face was speechless, the little hen is much more popular than the little rooster, and only this greedy person will raise so many roosters to eat.

The old man had already started to start, first pulled a handful of straw and put it in Chen Fan's basket, and carefully sorted it out, and then began to catch the chicken, "The chick is particular, you have to pinch the buttocks, if the butt is not very soft, this kind of chick can't be bought, using people as a metaphor is 'the ass has not been yellowed', I will give you all the ones I selected myself, to ensure that the top is strong." ”

As he spoke, he picked out 10 roosters and 10 hens.

Chen Fan looked at the chirping chicks in his basket and liked it very much.

Hurriedly took out a prepared cloth from his bag and covered it gently, and then paid 4 yuan before leaving with Jiang Lili with the basket.
