BTTS 452




 Chapter 452. Like the other party


At Zhou Dong's place, Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei warmly entertained them. In addition to Mrs. Cai Auntie, both the guests and the hosts had a wonderful meal.

As for Zhou Dong's current development, he was quite successful

This year's natural disaster hadn't affected Zhou Dong much.

The crops in the ground were naturally lost, but he was also decisive. He had kept Lin Qing He's words about chicken plague and the like were prone to appear after heavy rains in mind.

So when it rained heavily, he contacted Third Brother Lin and sold all the hundreds of chickens in his hand.

His side helped kill them. When he was finished, he called Third Brother Lin to drive over and sell them off. They were all killed while they were alive.

So, all the chickens in his hand were gotten rid of during heavy rains. Although there was no income when it was emptied. The disinfection of the chicken shed was done very well, so nothing happened.

But there was a family in the village who really suffered from chicken plague and all of their chicken died. This kind of chicken cannot be eaten. One can only dig a pit and buried them. That loss was what one called disastrous.

Now there were new chickens in the chicken shed. They hadn't grown up yet. But this year, they will not have no income. The money will be earned.

"Auntie, I have a plan." Zhou Dong said to Lin Qing He.

"What plan?" Lin Qing He asked.

"I want to fence up all my plots and use them all to raise chickens." Zhou Dong stated.

Lin Qing He grinned when she heard these words: "Not a bad idea. The land site cannot be bought or sold yet. If you can buy it, buy it and build a large chicken farm."

"You can't buy land site." Mrs. Cai said hurriedly after hearing this.

The allocation was fine. But if one was to buy it, what to do when beating landlord and so on occur again in the future?

Lin Qing He smiled and didn't remark much. She just said to Zhou Dong: "If you want to do it, do it. If you can't do it by yourself, it's no big deal to hire two more people. It won't be uneconomical."

"En!" Zhou Dong nodded.

"Actually, there's quite a lot out in the back." Mrs. Cai said hesitatingly: "Also, by raising so many, how will the eggs be sold in the future? Just Da Wa's two uncles' shop can't handle it all."

"Generally speaking, they can. Depends on the price. If one buy five jins of eggs and they get two eggs free. I estimate no matter how many eggs, it can be sold out." Lin Qing He smilingly assured.

"This method is good." Cai Ba Mei grinned.

Cai Ba Mei used to have a very quiet temperament, but now she was more open-minded and hearty.

"Pickled eggs are also good." Zhou Qing Bai finished his meal and also suggested an idea.

"That's right. These are all options. You can also contact other people and ask if they will come to pick up the goods from you. Of course, the premise is that you have to have that scale. Your chicken farm's top most must remember thing is choose to earn less and make sure hygiene is taken care of." Lin Qing He advised.

"I will." Zhou Dong got approval from her and knew that his idea was indeed feasible. He was overjoyed.

"Stay put for two years first. Don't think about it this year or next year. The year after that, if you want to do it, feel free to. You got to save up some capital. Once you increase the scale, there are risks." Lin Qing He stated.

"I know this." Zhou Dong nodded.

Mrs. Cai went back first because she still had something to do. Seeing that she was going back, Cai Ba Mei went out to send her off. Lin Qing He just smiled: "If you do business, it is better to do business by yourself.While partnering with someone. If they are good, it's okay. If they aren't, there might be some conflicts."

"Auntie, I understand." Zhou Dong nodded. He knew that Lin Qing He was looking out for his best interest. It was why she would say this to him.

"Now the conditions are getting better and better. Few households in the village can afford a TV. You already bought one." Lin Qing He smiled.

"Just installing one for the family." Zhou Dong grinned.

But really, looking at the village now, the conditions of his family were quite good. The village branch secretary had ask him if he want to be labelled as a ten thousand yuan household.

In fact, Zhou Dong hadn't meet the requirement for ten thousand yuans households. Sinc ehe was short, forget it. If it can be reported, then it was possible.

However, he didn't have any vanity in this aspect. He felt it was better to be a low-key person. Especially their income shouldn't be exposed. So he refused.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't stay too long. They came to sit at Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law's home.

"Really you guys. You ran over to Zhou Dong's place to eat." Eldest Sister-in-law said.

"It's not a big deal. We watched Zhou Dong grow up. Now that he is successful, we must go over enjoy a meal of his." Lin Qing He smilingly replied.

"Zhou Dong is really promising now. The chickens are raised very well. If it weren't for the storm this year, your third brother would have to come and carry a cart of eggs every second day." Eldest Sister-in-law commented.

Nowadays, the price of eggs had risen. It used to be only three or four dimes. Now a jin of eggs can sell for more than five dimes

One jin was fifty something cents. Ten jins meant five yuan or so. A cart full of eggs got to be a dozen to twenty jins, right? How much was it in a month?

And the income from grown chickens. Wasn’t this very profitable?

"I remember you said you want to expand the scale of raising ducks. Why didn't you raise more now?" Lin Qing He chattered.

"That's because Si Ni's father keep nagging nonstop. When Si Ni goes to the capital with you, I won't go to work and manage these at home. I'm going to buy more ducklings back." Eldest Sister-in-law responded.

It was easy to raise them. Just herd them out and let them eat small fish and shrimps in the river by themselves. How easy it is to let Eldest Brother herd them to the small river when he goes to work?

It didn't take much to drive the ducks back when he head home. She was at home by herself. She planned to get an extra pig back to raise. Also the quantity of chickens needs to increase.

However, she can let it drop this year. Er Ni will bring son-in-law back at the end of this year. She plans to dispose of all the livestock at home before they come back and just leave some live one for the New Year.

Those outside of the house must be cleaned. The dishes, chopsticks, cups, and the likes have be bought.

All in all, she can’t let son-in-law feel that the house is dirty and unclean. It's shameful to not have him have a meal at home.

Although Lin Qing He's words can be trusted, Eldest Sister-in-law was still nervous. How can she not be nervous?

A son-in-law from the capital. It was said that he was wealthier than Zhao Family. She didn’t hope for much. The conditions at home weren't bad. They really didn’t need their daughter to support her maternal family in the future. In conclusion, don't let son-in-law look down their family and belittle their daughter in the future.

In fact, from the very beginning, she didn't even think about letting her daughter go there to marry into the capital city.

However, fate is something that can’t be done when you encounter it. She chatted with her daughter over the phone. How can she not tell that her daughter likes the other party?

Like this, it can only be better.
