Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 91 Making money from another angle (recommended for collection)

Zhang Yi shook his head. He was still not satisfied with Lao Zhong's economic acumen after all, and asked, "Old Zhong, I'm not talking about you. You are also an old man in the family. How much do you think you can earn just by adding two catties of meat to a chicken?" How much money? Even if the government doesn’t ask about the price, doubling the price as you said is the limit, and we’re working so hard for these two money?”

If you are not in charge, you don't know that Chai Migui is expensive, and the entire Viscount Mansion's monthly expenses will not be less than ten cents. If that is the case, if you add twenty cents less for free food in the village, you will not be able to get it at all.Seeing that the copper coins at home flow out like water every day, even if you have money, it doesn't fall from the sky, does it?

"Master, what do you mean?" Old Zhong hurriedly asked for advice.

For his young master's ability to make money, Lao Zhong is absolutely in admiration. Hearing the young master's words now, it is obvious that he has not considered thoroughly. He intends to hear how the young master makes money.

"If I want to buy chickens and ducks, I must choose the female. Think about it, this female can lay eggs!" Zhang Yi sat on the stone stool, and then he said slowly: "Locusts are born with their own eggs." Rich in protein, if chickens and ducks eat raw eggs that are not only white but also big, we only need to let the people in the village move from our Zhangjiazhuang to Chang'an, how many eggs can we pick up?

Besides, let's release chickens and ducks to help people get rid of locusts in the fields. Do you think it's appropriate for the owner of the farm to ask for some money for getting rid of the insects?In this way, we can sell the eggs for money, and those farmers can earn some extra money, and then we can sell the chickens and ducks after reselling them. How much can you tell us? "

This account cannot be settled, because Lao Zhong realizes that he is really old.

Whether it is eggs or the so-called deworming fee, it is not a small amount of income, and even these incomes have exceeded the profits of chickens and ducks by several times.And the reason is very simple. Chickens and ducks are supposed to lay eggs after eating. Naturally, they need to be paid for doing work for others, but why didn't I think of it?
"Then I'll hurry back to chase Lao Liu and the others. I'm only halfway there. It's still early. We might have time to pick out the rooster and duck and return them!" Lao Zhong said, and was about to drag Wu Laoshuan to Chang'an.

He felt that if he bought male chickens and ducks to buy female chickens and ducks, the family's income would at least be several times higher. As a housekeeper, he felt that he was ashamed of the old lady's trust in him, and now he had to make up for it.

"Forget it, there's no need to go!" Zhang Yi waved his hands in a calm manner, not to mention the matter of returning the goods. It is not an easy job to drive thousands of chickens and ducks back, so he said : "Since I have bought it, I will rush back. There should be at least half of the hens and ducks here. It's too early for us to feed them better and hatch some chicks. There are no roosters and ducks to hatch. don't come out!"

"But, young master, it's just spring, so I'm afraid it's not possible to hatch in such a cold day?" Wu Laoshuan asked suspiciously.

Although he has already tried the dividends brought to him by Xiangrui oranges, as an authentic farmer, he still feels that Zhang Yi's ideas are a bit unconstrained.Cold weather means that the possibility of hens brooding is very small. Even if there are hens willing to brood, keeping warm in cold weather is a problem. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to hatch chicks.

Old Zhong also felt that it was unreliable. If the young master was talking about other things, he thought it might be feasible, but isn't this an obvious fact?Let the nest just after spring, are you kidding me?
Although neither of them believed Zhang Yi's words, they didn't laugh. It was enough to tell the story once. They believed that with Zhang Yi's wisdom, they would be able to find the problem.

But Zhang Yi's next words completely disappointed the two of them.

I saw Zhang Yi wondering: "Who said that you can't hatch in the spring?"

Immediately, the hearts of both of them tightened together. It wasn't anyone who said this at all, but it was the truth!Wouldn't it be a mess if they were brooded and hatched in spring?

"Master, it's cold in spring, and under normal circumstances it's impossible for hens and ducks to cuddle. If you really mess with the eggs like this, the eggs will turn into fluffy eggs, and the cubs will all freeze to death in the eggshells!" Finally, it was Old Zhong who spoke.

It's not that he wants to say it, but he has to say it!The viscount mansions don't pay attention to them, but if the young master is shamed all over the street, the consequences will be serious.

Not to mention how the young master will meet people when he goes out in the future, the old lady will have trouble going there, if the young master really becomes a joke in Chang'an City, the old lady can go on a hunger strike for a month!

"It's not easy. Since it's cold outside, why don't we build a greenhouse?" Zhang Yi finally understood what the two of them meant, and said indifferently, "Just go about your business. The duck shed and chicken shed are also going to see if they are finished, and Lao Liu will arrange a few people to pick them up, it is not an easy job to drive back so many chickens and ducks!"

After speaking, Zhang Yi entered the room, picked up a brush and started drawing.In his opinion, it is very easy to build a warm house. A fully enclosed brick house, and a big kang inside, as long as the temperature is controlled, it is no different from those artificial incubation processes that use electric lights to keep the temperature in later generations. .

When the old lady saw her grandson locked herself in the room to draw again, the old lady immediately smiled into a chrysanthemum.

Although she didn't want her grandson to become an official in the court, she felt very comfortable seeing her grandson being admired by others. Even His Majesty valued her grandson so much, which was definitely a very proud thing for her.I just don't know what good things my grandson will come up with this time!
I just drew the blueprints of the northern kang of later generations. After looking at it, I am not satisfied. As a special hatchery in Zhangjiazhuang in the future, it must be enlarged. If only hundreds of chickens and ducks are hatched, it may not be enough for firewood.Zhang Yi decided to make it bigger. Chickens and ducklings are definitely a profitable business, whether they are raised in the village or sold.

Because for the common people, beef and mutton are almost insulated from them, and pork is not readily available, so chicken and duck have become one of the main meats that they can use at any time for tooth offerings or hospitality.A big chicken weighing five catties can be sold for twenty renminbi, while a small chicken costs only five renminbi. For a small household with green grass everywhere, this extra income of fifteen renminbi is like It's like picking it up for nothing.

As for how much effort was spent on chickens and ducks, anyway, the women and children in the family are fine, so if you don't raise chickens and ducks, is it possible to be a grandpa?

PS: I drank too much tonight. Because it was my birthday, I had a family banquet. My sister, brother-in-law, father, and mother all came. I drank a few more glasses when I was happy, and now I am still dizzy, but Finally caught up before 12 o'clock!Let me ask again, buddies, what about today's recommendation ticket? ? ?
