"When the weather gets warr, we can buy so fish fry to put in, and by then, you’ll have plenty of fish to eat. You can continue selling grilled fish, and you won’t need Dong Sheng to catch fish for you anymore."
"The rabbits were exchanged from nearby villagers. Rabbits breed rapidly, and every villager family has about ten or so. I swapped two or three from each family, gathering this many. It’s just that the weather is cold now, and there’s not much fodder; otherwise, the rabbits would grow quickly."
"And these chickens..."
As Cheng Jinyun introduced everything, when they reached the pigsty, Lin Xiang gasped, "Why are there so many pigs here?"
The pigsty was divided into two sections; one section housed piglets one or two months old, which were all pink and white, not slly, and even looked a bit cute.
The other side had already grown adult pigs, which were no longer cute but definitely looked appetizing.
"I bought the piglets through so connections. These adult pigs were also bought from nearby villagers."
When Cheng Jinyun bought adult pigs, he intentionally chose families that raised two or three pigs, so buying one wouldn’t affect them much.
The pork from the pork company costs a dollar per pound, while the price when sold to the butcher is forty cents per pound.
After deducting the cost of skin and internal organs, the average cost per pound of pork is about fifty to sixty cents.
And Cheng Jinyun directly offered fifty cents.
"Although these pigs are already mature, they can still grow a bit more. By the ti we slaughter them for the New Year, they’ll gain at least ten more pounds."
"The piglets grow slower, but with over twenty adult pigs, they can last until the piglets grow up."
"I’ve already told my friends that once spring cos, they’ll catch so more piglets for . I’ve also pre-ordered dozens of sheep, but they’ll also have to wait until after the New Year to be delivered."
Cheng Jinyun had arranged everything so thoroughly that Lin Xiang didn’t even need to worry.
She even felt like she could retire early as the farm owner and just be a hands-off boss.
But the premise is, Cheng Jinyun shouldn’t return to the military.
"I rember I ca here a week ago, right? Just in a week, the farm expanded from nothing to this scale?"
This was more shocking than a construction team building a four-story building in just half a month.
"Other than Qi and the construction team you found, I also hired two extra construction teams. Plus, since it hasn’t rained recently, we rushed the tiline to finish this much."
"I don’t have much leave left; once my leave is over, I have to go on a mission. This mission will be quite troubleso, and I don’t know when I’ll be back. I hope to solve all these problems for you before I return."
Lin Xiang didn’t know what to say anymore.
This person in front of her always had a way to do things that moved her.
While they were talking, Qi had already brought over a young man from his village.
"Little boss, this is Zhou Chengbin, whom I told you about. He’s very experienced in raising chickens, and if you don’t believe it, you can test him."
Lin Xiang asked a few questions about hatching chicks from eggs, and Zhou Chengbin’s answers were quite professional.
"It sounds like you have a lot of theoretical knowledge and experintal data. Logically, your chicken farm should be quite large, so why are you willing to co out and work?"
Even though Ji Province isn’t that far from Beijing, it’s still leaving ho.
Zhou Chengbin smiled bitterly, "It’s precisely because I set up the chicken farm that there’s no place for there anymore. My achievents were taken away, and they didn’t even want to let earn money, only thinking about how to exclude ."
"Just in ti, Brother Qi said there’s a farm here that not only lets hatch chicks but also offers a decent salary, so I ca."
Qi also chid in, "Little boss, I can vouch that everything he said is true."
Lin Xiang nodded, "I trust you, and I trust Qi. Here’s the deal, you can stay and hatch chicks, but let’s agree first: you start with a basic salary of twenty yuan per month. Once the chicks hatch, I’ll give you a bonus according to the hatch rate and the survival rate in the later stages."
"In short, your salary is directly proportional to your performance. The better you do, the more you earn. Conversely, if you just go through the motions, you definitely won’t make money."
Zhou Chengbin patted his chest in assurance, "Don’t worry, little boss, I won’t slack off!"
"I know you need quite a few things for hatching chicks. Write down a detailed list, and I’ll buy them when I go back today. I’ll have soone bring them over to you later."
Zhou Chengbin took the paper and pen from Lin Xiang and wrote down two pages energetically.
He felt satisfied writing, but when he handed the fully written paper to Lin Xiang, he felt a bit embarrassed. "There might be quite a few things."
Lin Xiang looked through them; they were all related to hatching.
In winter, the most crucial thing for hatching is the heating equipnt. Essentially, a large incubator needs to be set up in the chicken coop to ensure that once the eggs hatch into chicks, they aren’t frozen to death by the harsh cold wind.
Although the initial cost investnt will be higher, the equipnt isn’t just for one-ti use; it can be reused after each batch of hatching, making the cost per chick negligible.
"You know how to make heating equipnt, right?"
Zhou Chengbin nodded repeatedly, "I know. I made all the equipnt at ho myself."
"Alright. You need quite a variety of things, and I may not be able to buy everything in one day. Once I’ve bought everything, I’ll deliver it to you."
By the ti everything at the farm was sorted out, it was already past five o’clock.
Winter in Beijing ant early nights.
Cheng Jinyun, worried about cycling back to the city on unlit roads, left with Lin Xiang early.
By the ti they returned to Beijing, the sky was completely dark. They didn’t stop by Xingfu Restaurant and went straight ho.
Upon entering, Lin Xiang got straight to the point, "Brother, could you calculate how much you spent in total? I’ll give you the money."
With the dividends from Quanfu Building and the recent earnings from Xingfu Restaurant, Lin Xiang had accumulated so savings.
Cheng Jinyun was montarily stunned before saying, "We’re family; what’s mine is yours. Why separate so clearly?"
"It’s different. We’re not biological siblings, and you’ve reverted to your original surna and moved out of the Lin Family household register. Legally, we’re no longer siblings."
Seeing Lin Xiang’s serious tone, Cheng Jinyun felt a bit hurt and stared into Lin Xiang’s eyes, "So, you don’t want anymore?"
Lin Xiang: ...
Why did it feel like she beca the bad person who abandoned him?
"It’s not that. Although we’re not legally family, the emotions we’ve developed over the years aren’t fake. We’re family, always will be."
