Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 81
I heard that the Lin family collected worms to feed the chickens, and the worms in a bamboo tube cost a penny. I heard that many children clamored to catch the worms.

The adults in the family were worried, and brought their children to the Lin's house to ask: "Qing He, I heard that your family needs worms to feed the chickens. I just thought how much a chicken can eat, so how can I use so much? My kid cried." If he insists on catching bugs, I will bring him over to ask."

"One chicken can't eat much, but our family has hundreds of chickens, and there are dozens of them that are about to lay eggs, so the worms are really needed. Just don't worry, auntie, as long as you catch the worms, you will definitely be paid. "

When the woman heard this, she opened her mouth wide: "What, your family has hundreds of chickens?" While speaking, she looked all over the yard, but she couldn't see a single chicken.

"Where is it, why didn't I see it?"

"It's kept behind the house, and a fence is surrounded to prevent them from running out." Lin Qinghe pointed to the direction behind the house, and said with a smile: "Auntie wants to see, I'll take you there to have a look."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look, but Qinghe, how much food will it cost to raise so many chickens in your family?" How much to eat, simply do not know.

Lin Qinghe smiled when he heard the words: "Actually, there is no need to feed food. I usually cut some grass and crush it to feed it. If I circle an open space, they can find food by themselves, and then catch some bugs to feed them. It's almost the same."

She had never thought of raising chickens like this before, and the woman couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard the words, and then she was a little embarrassed and said: "This is the way your family raises chickens, why just tell me casually, it's not good .”

"It's nothing. We are all neighbors in the same village. If you want to raise more chickens, auntie, I can tell you in detail. It's not a big deal. If you can raise more chickens at home Whether these chickens are eaten by the family or sold for money, they can improve the situation of the family to some extent."

The woman became even more embarrassed when she heard this: "Oh, you are as kind-hearted as your father."

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe couldn't help but smile. It's kind of good-hearted, but it's not completely without purpose.

After listening to her remarks, the woman went to see the chickens behind the house, and became more interested. If you can raise chickens without consuming food, what's the point of raising more at home? Let's talk about the eggs , Eating one every day can make the bones of the body stronger.

"Auntie, look, these chickens are all free-range." Lin Qinghe pointed towards the fence surrounding it. The circled area is not small, and the chickens are moving around in the fence, in groups, All I could see were chickens.

"So many, it's the first time I've seen so many chickens, hey, this chicken is really well raised, Qinghe, you are really capable."

"These chickens don't really need to be fed. If they are kept inside, they will find food for themselves. But if they are fed more, they will grow much faster. Those worms are the best food for them."

The woman looked around, and then went back happily with her children. She was already planning in her heart that she would also enclose such an open space behind her house to raise chickens.

After the people left, Lin Qingmiao asked a little puzzled: "Sister, why did you tell them to raise chickens like this?"

"As long as our family raises so many chickens, seeing that we have made money, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous, or do some sneaky things. We can't prevent it. If everyone raises chickens, this problem will not exist, of course. It's just secondary."

"Then what is the main thing."

"The main thing is that our energy is limited. If we have other things to be busy in the future, we may not be able to care about raising chickens. But if we need chickens or eggs, but we can't find a place to buy them, wouldn't it be trouble."

"Why do we want these things? If we can't buy them, we just don't eat them. Besides, our family still has so many of them." Lin Qingmiao couldn't understand at all.

Lin Qinghe smiled and said: "This is how I think about it. Isn't there only one grocery store in the county? I'm thinking about whether we can open one by ourselves and sell some poultry, eggs, and wild animals. , Of course, this is only part of it, we can also import a batch of goods from Fucheng and sell them back."

Of course, there are also homemade preserved fruits and fruit wine, which can also be sold in the shop, not limited to a certain type. Grocery stores can sell all kinds of items.

"Sister, why did you suddenly think of opening a shop?" Lin Qingmiao was stunned.

"I didn't think of it suddenly, but I started to think about it a long time ago. At the beginning, our preserved fruit could not be sold, mainly because there was no shop to sell it to us. At that time, I thought that if we had money, we could open it ourselves. A shop, of course, is just an idea now, I don’t know when the shop will open, but we can plan it early.”

"Then if you let the big guys raise chickens, what if our shop hasn't opened yet and their chickens can't be sold?" Lin Qingmiao looked suspicious.

"I didn't ask everyone to raise chickens. I just told them this method. How to do it is their business. Besides, the county is so big, and the chickens raised in our village will not be sold. Even if they can't be sold, they can be eaten by themselves. It’s okay, and it’s okay to walk the ceremony, and you won’t just throw it in your hands.” The main reason is that the cost is not high, and it is also profitable for everyone.

"That's right!" Lin Qingmiao hurriedly stretched out her hand and patted her chest: "Sure enough, I was thinking too much. I thought they couldn't sell their chickens, so they would come to trouble us."

"You only want to make trouble, but you never thought that if you increase your family's income by raising chickens, everyone's life will be better."

"I didn't think too much about it, but the people in the village are also very kind to us. I hope that the people who are kind to us can all prosper."

It's a good idea, Lin Qinghe smiled and patted her head.

"By the way, eldest sister, if we open a shop, how much will it cost?" Unconsciously, she fumbled out the account book again.

"It's hard to say, let's talk about the shop first. If you buy a shop by yourself, it will cost thousands of taels of silver to buy a shop, but if you rent it, you will get a lot. It can be more than ten taels or tens of taels, and the next thing is to shop for goods. If there are enough goods in the shop, there will be more people who buy them..."

When Lin Qingmiao heard her say 1000 taels, her heart beat quickened. 1000 taels, how much money is that, don't even think about buying a shop, the current financial resources simply can't be realized.

She continued to ask: "How much money does it cost to rent a shop?"

"I did the math. If you get two or three hundred taels of silver, the shop can be opened. Now we..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingmiao had already answered: "We have 150 taels of silver in our hands now, not far from 200 taels."

Lin Qinghe rubbed her head: "If there are fewer stores, the store can be opened without 200 taels, but there is no rush now, take your time."
