After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

When Guangdaner thought about this, he couldn't help but wonder if it was because the air was good now? In addition, there were few large-scale centralized breeding like in later generations.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Arya waved her hand in front of Guangdan'er, which made Guangdan stop thinking.

"How about this, we buy thirty chickens, twenty ducks, and five geese? Second sister, what do you think?" Guangdan said and looked at Erya sincerely.

Arya's eyes, which were originally round, widened even more at this moment. She asked in disbelief, "Are you crazy? So many? Do you know how many you said?"

"I know. Thirty eggs cost 60 coins. Basically, we can exchange ten eggs for eight chicks, so thirty chicks cost about 75 coins. The budget for twenty ducklings is about the same as that for chickens, plus a few geese, the total early investment is probably less than two hundred coins."

After Guangdaner finished the calculation, he felt that it was okay. This way he would have some extra money in case of emergency.

Erya tilted her head and counted with her fingers, counting carefully for a while, but her mind was filled with balls of thread.

"Guandan, how did you calculate it? How could you possibly do that?" Erya looked down at the short little guy with envy in her eyes.

The arrogant Guangdan immediately raised his head and chest, his little face was full of pride: "Second sister, this is called a gift, do you know? Hush! Don't tell anyone, I'm a treasure!"

After saying this, he paced in the backyard with his hands behind his back. In fact, he was a little worried about what these poultry would eat.

After walking a few steps, he turned his head and asked, "But if we do this, I feel like there won't be enough people. It won't work for just the two of us. It will take a lot of time just to eat all these things in a day."

Erya also frowned and nodded: "I still have to make pig grass, and I have other things to do. The two of us definitely can't do it."

"Goudan and Goumao have half a day every day, and my aunt also has some time. But my eldest brother probably can't. He is only a half-laborer and has to work in the fields, and he has other things to do." Guangdan counted the number of people in the family and felt that it would be a waste not to take care of those younger ones!

"But Goudan needs to study." Erya didn't quite agree. After all, the teacher said that Goudan was a good seedling.

Guangdan didn't care about that. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. There's no rush to study. He can't just bury himself in books all day long, right?"

In this way, Guangdan privately decided on the personnel of his breeding team. He was so domineering and powerful.

Seeing Guangdan's little appearance, Arya also began to fantasize.

"Eggs are two cents each. If I lay twenty eggs a day, I'll make forty cents a day! Duck eggs are three cents. If I lay ten duck eggs a day, I'll make thirty cents! Goose eggs are hard to say, but goose eggs are five cents! Maybe I can make eighty cents a day!"

When Erya talked about this, her face turned red and she stomped her feet with excitement.

what?

You mean it's cold in the yard?

Why is it cold?

They have such hot hearts!!!

You are like a fire in the winter!

"How many months do these need to lay eggs?" Guangdan asked curiously.

Although the original owner was also a farm child, the little boy was busy playing mischief and had no idea how many months the chickens and ducks at home laid eggs.

"The chickens at home start laying eggs in about half a year. We didn't raise ducks last year, so the ducks seem to take longer. I don't know about the geese." Erya thought seriously and answered.

When Guangdan heard this, he was in a dilemma again.

"Second sister, my original idea was to sell our chickens once they were fattened up. This way, it would only take a few months and the return on investment would be quick."

But now I think that selling eggs alone can make seventy or eighty cents a day, and during the peak period, I can basically make two hundred yuan a month.

If you sell chickens, the price of a chicken in the town is about 67 cents. By this calculation, an adult hen that lays eggs for two months is enough to buy the entire chicken.

Now I am wavering.

But Erya didn't hesitate. She patted Guangdan on the back and said, "Don't you raise chickens to sell eggs? Are you stupid?

It’s more profitable to sell eggs. If you raise chickens at the beginning of the year, they will start laying eggs at the end of summer. If the chickens eat well, they will probably lay eggs even faster. They will lay eggs for a few months, but then the weather will get cold, right? If there’s nothing to eat, then sell them!”

Guangdan then felt that he was back on the right track. That's right, grandma had been complaining about the chickens not laying eggs since winter came. The chickens didn't lay eggs much when the weather was cold.

Some families who have many chickens sell them when winter comes. For example, the Lin family does not have many chickens so they keep them to continue laying eggs in the spring of next year.

Guangdan felt that if he continued to calculate like this, he probably wouldn't be willing to sell the chickens. Wouldn't it be better to just sell eggs?

The main reason is that poultry farming today is different from that in later generations. In later generations, there were all kinds of so-called scientific methods to raise broiler chickens, and the chickens grew particularly fast.

Here, a chicken is basically unfit for consumption within half a year, which means the time cost is relatively high. So after people have fattened a chicken with great difficulty, they naturally wait for it to lay eggs every day.

"That's fine too. Let's take the first step. Second sister, please think about it. What should we do with the chicks? Should grandma hatch the chicks at home this year or ask someone else to do it?"

Erya grinned, her white teeth gleaming in the sun, and said, "I asked around, and grandma said she'll go find Grandma Shitou this year and trade her eggs for chicks, but we don't have that many eggs at home, so we need to buy some."

Guangdan nodded. Looking at Erya's excitement, he couldn't help but criticize her: "But this matter is not easy to say. I pay the money and we find Xiaogu and Goudan to raise the chickens together. What should we do with the money in the end? Will mother take back our right to sell eggs when our chickens grow up?"

He really didn't trust Comrade Fang Cuihua. He always felt that she was just waiting for him to spend his money and then take possession of the fruits of his labor.

And even if she really took advantage of him, he couldn't complain.

Therefore, Guangdan thinks that these things should be made clear as soon as possible, otherwise the joy will be in vain in the end.

After all, the arm cannot lift the thigh. Even if he thinks he is smart, after learning from his mother throughout the winter, he knows that he cannot beat his mother.
