Happy Day 19: Sustainable Development and Eggs

The price of eggs given by the farm is three yuan per pound, and there are about ten eggs in a pound.

The price is not much cheaper than the bulk eggs in the Nanshi Farmers’ Market, but it is fresher, so Jiang Muyun ordered a ton.

Two thousand kilograms, six thousand yuan, this price is still within Jiang Muyun's affordability.

After ordering the eggs, Jiang Muyun suddenly had an idea and wondered whether he should buy a few fertilized eggs to try.

Her space couldn't hold living things, but it could hold plants that weren't completely dead. So what about fertilized eggs? Those weren't considered living things, were they?

She said she wanted to buy some fertilized eggs that could be hatched. The farm manager didn't ask her for money, but gave her a few directly and asked her if she wanted a small incubator.

Jiang Muyun didn't know how to hatch eggs, so of course she asked for one, and the person in charge asked someone to bring an incubator over.

It is indeed quite small, with a colorful base, several egg slots in the middle, a transparent plastic cover on top, and two chicken wings sticking out.

This incubator looks a bit crude, like a toy that a child would like, completely different from the sophisticated electronic instrument Jiang Muyun had imagined.

The person in charge said that all you have to do is plug this thing in and press a switch. You don't have to worry about anything and just wait for the chicks to hatch.

Jiang Muyun held the thing and looked at it over and over again, always feeling that it looked a little familiar.

It took me a long time to realize that this thing looks exactly like an egg boiler!

Seeing her looking around curiously, the person in charge smiled and said, "Take it home and play with it. It's very simple. If the chicks you hatch are difficult to raise, you can return them to the factory and we'll take them. Many schools now let their children raise them. Parents come to us every now and then, and the factory has bought quite a few."

Jiang Muyun smiled and thanked him, then turned around and got into the car and tried to put the eggs into the space.

It really worked!

Jiang Muyun looked at the few small eggs floating in the space, and the sense of security he felt was greater than buying a ton of eggs.

The farm gave her a total of six fertilized eggs. Jiang Muyun planned to keep four in the space and take out two to incubate outside to see if chicks could be successfully hatched after the fertilized eggs entered the space.

After ordering the eggs, Jiang Muyun did not forget to go to the slaughterhouse next door to buy two pigs.

This was a reward project she set for herself after saving money at the food factory.

On the way back to the city, Jiang Muyun passed by a fruit greenhouse that featured parent-child entertainment projects.

Thinking of the many seedlings and seeds in her space, and then thinking about those round fertilized eggs, Jiang Muyun became interested.

Everything must be sustainable.

Although she bought a lot of fruits, most of them were in season.

Some off-season fruits are available in the wholesale market, but the price makes Jiang Muyun feel that he cannot afford it.

For example, the strawberries in this fruit greenhouse poster are so expensive in the market that people really want to count them one by one.

Jiang Muyun couldn't afford the finished products, so she wanted to buy seedlings, but she had no money and no need to wholesale in large quantities, so she wanted to try to talk to the owner of the fruit greenhouse to see if he could sell her one or two plants so that she could take them home and grow them as potted plants for fun.

The boss agreed readily.

It was because Jiang Muyun asked for so little and didn't look like someone who knew how to farm that the boss agreed. It wasn't uncommon for customers to ask for seedlings to plant as bonsai trees because of the beautiful fruit he grew.

The fruits here are not for sale in the market, but to attract customers to come and pick them by themselves as an entertainment project.

Customers come to pick the fruit themselves, and after the effort they have to pay to buy it before they can take it away. If the quality of the fruit is not good, no one will buy it.

Therefore, his seedlings are all good varieties that he bought at a high price, and then he raised the best ones through several generations of his family.

If Jiang Muyun bought in bulk, he would never sell it. What if the other party was from the same industry?

But the boss didn't expect that Jiang Muyun would ask for two plants of all the varieties he had.

The boss said with a smile, "I have more than just the strawberry garden and grape arbor here. The shrubbery outside is also mine. It looks all green, but there are many varieties of fruits inside, including grapefruits and pears. Add up all the fruits, there must be a lot of varieties. Where are you going to plant them if you want them all?"

Jiang Muyun seemed to have not expected so much. She was stunned for a long time before she blushed and said embarrassedly, "Well... that's fine, just pack it all up. I drove here, so I can fit some in... I can even give the extra to relatives later."

Seeing her blushing face, the boss gave up trying to persuade her not to buy it.

It's not much money anyway, so the girl can just save face. Why does he have to say something that is thankless?

The boss thoughtfully put all the seedlings of the same variety in a plastic bag and put a piece of paper inside to explain what kind of seedlings it was.

In addition to these soft things, there were also many small saplings, filling up an entire carriage.

The boss also specifically reminded her of many things to pay attention to when planting.

Jiang Muyun acted confused and nodded to whatever the boss said.

The boss finally said helplessly, "Forget it. Even if I tell you, you won't remember. Go back and ask your grandparents. They should know how to farm. If that doesn't work, don't you young people use the Internet for everything? Just look it up online."

Jiang Muyun hurriedly thanked him: "Oh, okay, thank you uncle, you are such a kind person. I will definitely bring my family to take care of your business when I go back."

The boss waved his hands and muttered to himself, "You unlucky kid, you're pulling a cart of saplings home. It's a good thing you didn't get beaten."

Jiang Muyun now had the foundation for sustainable development and finally dared to wholesale ice cream, snacks, and happy water.

Anyway, there was only this little money left, and Jiang Muyun had already reserved living expenses for herself early on. She could spend all the extra money, and she felt like she had become richer.

Jiang Muyun spent most of his money on ice cream, and didn't buy many snacks or drinks.

Because these things are packed tightly, they can withstand the heavy rain.

Moreover, snacks and drinks are neither filling nor thirst-quenching, and will not become the primary target of free shopping after the end of the world. It is not difficult for Jiang Muyun to stock up in large quantities.

After buying snacks, Jiang Muyun had some left over, so he wholesaled several large bags of salad dressing, teriyaki sauce and other sauces.

She bought a lot of sauces in Xishi, but most of them were salty sauces that were easy to store, such as meat sauce and soybean sauce. Now she thinks that she doesn't lack anything, so she can prepare some of these sweet sauces that she doesn't eat often.

After spending lavishly, Jiang Muyun went to the bank and withdrew 10,000 yuan in cash from his living expenses.

In my previous life, there were heaters and charging ports in the rescue center, and mobile phones could always be used normally. All transactions were done through mobile phone transfers.

But now, she only plans to go to the rescue center during the coldest period and stay at home at other times, so she needs to consider the problem that her mobile phone may not be able to turn on in low temperatures.

Keep some cash on you for emergencies.

When Jiang Muyun went out and came home, he became a penniless pauper.

Watching Xiaobai oblivious to the sufferings of the world as he buried his head in his dinner, Jiang Muyun stroked him from head to tail: "Baby, remember this taste. Whether you can taste it again in the future depends on your nose."

She doesn't have money to stock up on dog food for Xiaobai anymore. If Xiaobai wants to eat dog food or canned dog food again for the rest of his life, he will have to rely on himself.

As long as Xiaobai can dig out its exclusive rations from the ruins, Jiang Muyun doesn't mind helping it keep them.

Xiaobai raised his head from the food, tilted his head to look at his strange owner, rubbed Jiang Muyun's palm twice out of habit, then turned his head to continue eating.

Jiang Muyun worked diligently for only one day before returning to his retirement life.

Except for taking Xiaobai out for a walk every day, she stays at home surfing the Internet. She even has time to classify her spiritual food.

All the ones with good reputation and that she is interested in are stored in a special hard drive.

Others that were downloaded simply because they were popular were placed on other hard drives.

I didn't even look at it, I just randomly clicked it to make up the number and saved it separately.

Only after the dairy products and eggs she ordered arrived did Jiang Muyun get up from her nest and go out to work.

Jiang Muyun counted the goods as usual, then closed the warehouse door and put the things into the space.

She found that although she ordered the largest packages of milk powder, cheese, etc., she also received many small packages of products in the end.

They are all gifts given by the brand, ranging from high-calcium milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people to infant milk powder. Most of them are products with similar prices to the goods purchased by Jiang Muyun, and there are also many high-end products.

Is this a big brand? Jiang Muyun sighed in his heart.

Compared with these free gifts, people care more about potential customers. If one out of a hundred copies given away can open up new sales channels for a certain product, then the rest are worth it.

When Jiang Muyun placed an order with the household chemical factory, they also sent him a lot of samples of other products, which added up to several large boxes. At that time, he thought he was lucky because the manufacturer was clearing out its inventory.

The common citizen gained more knowledge and was happy, but her wallet balance did not increase.

Now Jiang Muyun’s daily income is only the ten or so yuan in interest generated by Xbao.

Jiang Muyun exchanged today's interest money for octopus balls on the way home.

She has both semi-finished products and raw materials for this thing in her space, but for some reason, she just feels that the ones bought on the street are more fragrant.

The key to enjoying the deliciousness of octopus balls is to eat the whole one in one bite.

Fresh cabbage, crispy batter, and each meatball has only a small piece of precious squid, coupled with salty and fresh sauce and dancing bonito flakes. Even if Jiang Muyun gasped from the burn after taking a bite, he would still continue to poke the next one.

Enjoying the happiness he bought with money, Jiang Muyun calculated the time in his mind.

Today is September 21st, and there are less than ten days left before the temperature starts to drop.

I don’t know if the cold air mass appeared at this time.

Before entering the subway station, Jiang Muyun finished eating all the meatballs, scraped off the scattered bonito flakes in the box, and then threw the packaging box into the recycling bin.

Before the temperature starts to drop, Jiang Muyun has something very important to do.

Before that, she had to prepare herself mentally.
