There was a layer of snow on the ground, but strangely the temperature was not that cold, about the same as yesterday.
Su He had clear soup noodles in the morning. Aunt Qu came at noon and bought fifty chickens for Su He this time.
"The harvest this year is not good. No one was willing to slaughter the chickens we raised at home, or they would be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Now every household is planning to sell chickens. Of course, the most important thing is that the price you offer is right!" Sell the chickens and make money for the Chinese New Year.
Aunt Qu said, and then mentioned the "hothouse" that Su He mentioned last time, "Xiao Su, do you think it's reliable?"
This question was directed to the person who came up with the solution. Su He curled her lips and said, "Auntie, we built the greenhouse so that everyone can start a business and make money. Those who don't have money can apply to the military district, and those with wealthy families can ask for it. Let me ask you, how long does it take for this chicken to grow from a hatchling to four or five pounds?"
Aunt Qu said without hesitation, "About half a year."
"How much does a chick cost? How much does food cost for about half a year?" Su He continued to ask.
"Chickens are free. They're mostly hatched by the hens at home. There are at least a dozen in this clutch. If you raise them for half a year, it won't cost much." Aunt Qu frowned and said, "They're mostly just leftover food and rotten vegetable leaves. Chickens and ducks are easy to raise!"
Su He nodded slightly. "Since the cost of raising a chicken is so low, what if we build a greenhouse? The winter in the Northern Military Region is long, and poultry don't grow meat at all. If we control the temperature of the greenhouse at around 20 degrees, will the chickens and ducks not grow meat? Raising a chicken can sell for five or six yuan, 10 is fifty or sixty! Twenty is over a hundred yuan! Anyway, the more you raise, the more you earn. The greenhouse is not something that can be used up in the first year and unusable in the second year. It can be used repeatedly."
A greenhouse is actually a shed made of plastic, with straw, quilts or other insulating materials placed on the outside.
"Yes," Aunt Qu slapped her thigh excitedly, "If I raise a hundred, wouldn't that be five or six hundred?"
"Auntie, raising chickens and ducks depends on the size of your greenhouse. If the greenhouse is too small, you won't be able to raise so many chickens and ducks!" Su He said to her seriously, "There is a fixed number of chickens and ducks that can be raised per square meter."
"Xiao Su, who will you sell it to then?" Aunt Qu asked the most crucial question.
"If you want to sell chicken, duck or eggs, sell them to me! If that doesn't work, we can sell them to the south. The military district will help us find a solution. Since the greenhouse is managed by the military district, we must believe in the country! Believe in the leaders!!" Su He didn't say that no matter how many chickens and ducks she has now, she can sell them. As the number of fans in the live broadcast room increases, even tens of thousands of them will not be enough to sell!
Aunt Qu seriously considered what Su He said.
"Aunt, do you have any ideas in this regard?" Su He raised his eyebrows with a curled mouth.
"Ah." Aunt Qu nodded slightly. "I just heard people discussing it recently. I thought you must be well-informed, so I wanted to see what you think."
"Auntie, you are still young, raising dozens of chickens and ducks is not a problem."
Aunt Qu fell into deep thought. "You're right. Now that we have such a good way to make money, we should seize it firmly. We're still strong. We can wait until we can no longer work."
Aunt Qu sighed, "We two old folks don't have much money saved, not a cent at all! Even if we did, it would have been wasted by our children. Every family has its own problems. They say raising children is a way to prepare for old age, but I think money is the only real way to prepare for old age!"
Aunt Qu thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Su, I'll go back and have a good discussion with our old man. If there's no problem, we'll apply to the military district for a greenhouse."
"Sure." Based on what Aunt Qu had just said, Su He also felt that he should motivate everyone.
People don’t know much about greenhouses yet.
Su He thought about waiting for Lu Yunzhou to come back.
I just don’t know if he has completed his task successfully?
Sometimes no news is the best news.
During the days when Lu Yunzhou was not at home, Su He was live streaming all day long.
The man came back five days later. Su He was relieved to see that he had returned safely.
Lu Yunzhou completed the mission beautifully, except for a small incident in the middle.
"Xu Wu went straight to identify Jia Wen without any instructions from his superiors, which nearly led to the failure of the mission."
Lu Yunzhou said in a low voice: "The military district is going to arrange for him to be discharged directly this time."
Su He was stunned. Why was there still something about Xu Wu?
"The military district is currently detaining him and investigating who allowed him to go."
After Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, Su He noticed the fatigue on his face and said, "You should get some rest early. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
"Okay." Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly, "I'll change all my dirty clothes first."
"I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
After Su He finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to cook for him, so that he could eat and rest and sleep well.
Lu Yunzhou opened the wardrobe and found his and Su He's clothes together.
Although neither of them has many clothes, there is still a lot of space in the closet.
Just as he took out clean clothes to change, Lu Yunzhou's attention was attracted by something in the cabinet.
He took it out in confusion. This couldn't even be considered clothing. It was just a few straps? The fabric was pitifully small...
Lu Yunzhou vaguely guessed that perhaps this was the same as underwear and clothes.
As if he thought of something, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
