Chapter 54: Chicken feathers can be sold for money

The market by the small bridge finally opened at night. People who have been busy all day can't sleep come over to take a look. During this season, more transactions at the market are completed among the stalls, and the merchants don't have that much time.

Butler Zhang did not go directly to discuss with the people in the market, but found Ergou and continued to give instructions. Ergou went to do it immediately.

After finishing Ergou's business, Butler Zhang arranged for someone to find the twelve people who arrived today. Soon, the news came back and the twelve people lived in Shuiyun. Butler Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and led the doctors on the village to ask if there were any discomforts so that they could be treated in time.

Ergou received an order to adjust some of the prices of the market in recent days, such as tea, and just throw away something when you drink it. From today to the end of the autumn harvest, no matter who comes to drink the tea, it will be fifty cents a bowl, and a small bun with a little meat, twenty cents a bowl.

It doesn't matter if you can't sell it. When the business is closed at night, the grocery store will make up for the average daily money you can earn, and buy all the food at the usual price. If others want to buy it, they must be at the fixed price. This is the benefit of the pricing power.

Of course, those who do business will not object. People say that they can sell it as much as possible. If you don’t pay any compensation at that time, the poor people come to buy things, they won’t care about eating more and less tea. Isn’t it easy to eat? Groceries have cheap cakes and drink water and cool well water, which is not expensive.

The reason for this arrangement was not clear, including Ergou, so he just kept doing it, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

In the Shuiyunjian, in the second-class courtyard, several people had an extraordinarily expensive supper and sat together to discuss matters.

"Boss, don't you know the officials in the capital? I heard that they are still from the sixth rank. Why don't you let him come over and talk and buy the food here cheaply. Then we will plant it ourselves and produce more than four stones per acre of land."

Laizi stood beside him, burping and persuading his boss. Two people next to him also nodded, agreeing with Laizi's idea.

The boss had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. He had heard the news just now that the two Zhang and Wang families sold seeds, which cost 100 cents per kilogram, and it was also considered that shell. The price was not ordinary high. But when I thought about the grain I collected at that time, the money seemed to be able to be taken out.

But if you really buy things at such a high price, you will see others as fools, and you will not be able to stand up to you.

Just when he was calm and silent, a man next to him who always had squinting eyes said, "Is it useful for a sixth-rank official to come here? I just deliberately found a first-floor position in the restaurant. Could it be that you haven't heard what others said, two farms, one is a seventh-rank official and the other is a seventh-rank official.

If you are a senior official, you will be punished by someone at the top and bottom. Not everyone can do it. If you really suppress him, they won’t impeach you? I heard just now that the two officials were specially sealed by the imperial court, two auspicious people, and they will help the disaster relief in Henan Road at one time. Not to mention the number of sixth-rank officials in the capital, try changing to a third-rank one? One is right."

"Why?" Laizi couldn't understand why the third-rank officials could not beat the two seventh-rank officials in the Zhuangzi.

"I'm stupid. You come here to reduce the price. You can't buy it. If you press it, people will say that you suppress the auspicious place. It's not that there is such a high production in the auspicious place? It's not that there is no such thing as auspicious place after the drought, but that it's increased production. If there is auspicious place, you will suppress the luck of the court.

If you don’t say this, everyone knows it. If you say it, it will turn into a memorial. The third-rank official’s neck is harder than the luck of the court? The governor of this state is the prince. According to the sayings of the people in the capital, it is only when the current emperor has auspiciousness when he dates his brothers. Think about it carefully, what is this? It is light to kill all the families. If you don’t kill your nine clans, it is all the emperor who is not good to your brothers."

"So evil? Can't Xiao Po Zhuangzi move yet?" Laizi was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that this Zhuangzi could not see anything normally. If he really wanted to deal with it, he needed to consider so many things.

"Why can't we deal with this? But we can use other methods." The person who squinted his eyes said again.

Laizi knew that this person was the boss's think tank. When he heard that there was another method, he hurriedly said, "I know. I heard that the three of them in the Shuiyunjian Restaurant will be from dinner tomorrow and I will get sick. Then, haha..."

"Haha, you have this ability. You can try it tomorrow? If you get sick, see if you eat, will there be any trouble if you die? Don't say anything about the idea of ​​being unable to make a move." The man sneered. He really looked down on this leper. If his sister hadn't followed the boss, he would have wanted to do things with him?

A man next to Laizi pondered for a while and said, "Yes, it's useless to eat people to death. Besides, Laizi cannot die. You should think of a complete solution. It's better to help them promote it. Just say that the two families of Zhang and Wang are a place of auspiciousness, and the things produced are better than those produced around the capital. To say a few more words, people believe that the place where auspiciousness is produced will have an emperor."

As soon as he said that several people around him thought it was feasible. This would really kill the two families of Zhang and Wang. Is it so easy to be the emperor?

Even the boss was a little moved, but the person who squinted his eyes shook his head again, "If it were someone else to be a governor, this method can be used. Prince Li Chengyi's rule will definitely not be used. As soon as news comes out, the prince will come to Beijing to apologize.

Today's saints can make people investigate strictly. Who said what they said is not to provoke the relationship between brothers? The prince's place is going to have an emperor, that is, the prince wants to be the emperor. Who would believe that the farmer can be the emperor?"

"Ah? This is not OK. Why did their farmer become the governor of the prince? What else should I do? You can't really buy a pound of shelled rice for one hundred cents, right?" Laizi was the most unsustainable person among these people. When he heard this idea was denied, he said anxiously.

"Shut up and listen to Brother Liu." The boss was also upset and became even more annoyed when listening to Laizi's words.

"The boss doesn't have to worry. There are still ways. I'll find a few people tomorrow and follow our methods. If you don't believe him, Zhang and Wang's villages will not discuss with us." The person with squinted eyes smiled sinisterly, invited a few people who shouldn't have heard of the matter, and told the solution to the remaining three people in the room.

During the autumn harvest season, the farmers were busy. The little kids should have gone to school. With the return of Xiaohong and Cherry, those poultry must be fed. The adults were busy and had to hand over the work to the little kids at home. For all the farmers who raised poultry, the number of chickens, ducks and geese at home was not small.

The little kids got up early, put out the poultry according to the planned place of the farm, carried empty pockets and came to the master's house to collect what the poultry should eat for a day. Except for the fresh earthworms, the others had been ground by the master. Carrying about ten kilograms at a time, and it would be enough to go back and forth a few times.

These things are not required to be paid for by the owner. They are given free of charge. They are also used as a raising agent. Finally, they settle together. The owner accounts for 80% of all the benefits and 20% of the merchants. These 20% are almost free, and it is better than raising them by themselves. At least they don’t have to take out the things to feed them.

The income is not just about eggs, but also about the money to sell chickens at that time. The owner even gives chicken feathers, duck feathers and goose feathers are considered to be a profitable thing.

The farmers don’t know what these poultry furs can be used to sell for money. They can give things that others don’t want. Can they really make money?

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are also studying this issue and want to maximize all benefits.

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

"Take it." Wang Juan replied very simply.

"Where are you giving me ten kilograms?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

"Where did that pound be thrown to continue throwing it?" Wang Juan continued the same answer.

"Where are you giving you ten tons of chicken feathers?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

"This, can you make some materials for this thing? You can also make down jackets. If you really can't do it, you can also do it wholesale feather dusters. You can't keep it there."

Wang Juan’s answer this time is different from the above. There are too many. When something that seems useless reaches a certain amount, it is impossible to continue to regard it as a useless thing, even stones and furnace ash.

Zhang Xiaobao did not continue asking this time, pointing to the outside and said, "We raise more than 30,000 poultry in our farm, and we will kill them in the end. Unless others point out what we want to live, we will sell all parts of the poultry, and we will also need to complete the slaughter. There are so many hairs, which should be tens of thousands of kilograms.

Besides, we don’t just kill all of them, we will raise new ones while killing old ones. The amount we accumulate is quite large, and now we have to find a way."

"What kind of solution can you think of? You can't make down jackets? You have chicken feathers, what about other things? If you buy them on the market, the quality is slightly worse, and you will keep leaking hair. What material is the outer material of the down jacket? Is it cloth? We don't have cotton cloth now, only silk and hemp. With the current textile technology, how can you get out the outer wraps? Don't dream."

Wang Juan denied the idea of ​​making down jackets. It was okay to make cotton coats with cotton, but there was no feather treatment technique, let alone put them in the clothes.

"Who said I want to make clothes? I can build a house, two layers of wooden boards, or two layers of walls, and mix them with cracked lime and chicken feathers in the middle, so that it can be kept warm. Use glue to glue the poultry feathers picked in a certain order, and you can also make a boat.

At that time, all the cruise ships on Xiao Luoshui are made with these hairs. If others see them, they will naturally learn. How about we sell poultry furs to them? There are only things that cannot be imagined, nothing that cannot be done."

Zhang Xiaobao told Wang Juan about what happened in the future.
