Jiang Wenwan did the calculations herself.
Four geese lay four eggs every three days, so that's 40 eggs a month and 120 eggs in three months.
If you apply it to all 120 eggs, you also need to consider whether there are any unfertilized eggs or fertilized eggs.
So she would be satisfied if she could hatch 100 in the end.
100 geese plus our own—well, our own are just a small fraction, they're the veterans among the geese.
Just imagine, you could collect 100 eggs every three days.
Oh, and we also need to subtract the fact that one-third of them are male geese.
Let's say there are 40 female geese.
40 eggs in 3 days, 400 eggs in a month, hahaha, I'd laugh myself awake from a dream.
And those male geese can also be used to make meat. Just thinking about stewed goose in an iron pot makes my mouth water.
The newly hatched goslings suddenly felt a cold wind whistling down their backs and decided to stay away from this human.
He explained his calculations to Sister Song, who smiled and said:
"If that's really the case, that would be great! There would be 400 eggs a month, and at 5 cents per egg, that would be 20 yuan!"
Wow, that's quite a lot! Not to mention the ganders, we could make another profit from that!
Jiang Wenwan was feeling quite pleased with herself, but upon hearing Song's calculations, she instantly became uneasy.
400 goose eggs, 10 for 50 cents, 100 for 5 yuan, 400 for 20 yuan!
Only 20 yuan a month, that's too little, isn't it?
Even with the male goose, if we sell half and eat the other half, our monthly income won't exceed 30 yuan.
By the way, goose down, down jackets made from goose down, these goose feathers can still be used.
What else can be utilized?
It's still a lot!
However, if the scale of breeding is to be expanded, it cannot be privately owned at this time; it must belong to the public.
Sigh, it's only 1976 now, we have to wait another two years before individual contracting is allowed.
Then she suddenly thought of a question.
"Sister Song, won't the troupe say anything if we raise so many geese?"
Sister-in-law Song paused, and asked him the same question.
"Don't say that. I really need to have my husband, Lao Lü, go and talk to the regiment and ask them about it!"
"After all, we raise quite a lot of them!"
Jiang Wenwan burst out laughing.
"That's still a lot. I want to incubate for another year next year!"
But it seems pretty unlikely!
Sister-in-law Song gave her a look that said, "What do you want to do?"
"Girl, how can you be so daring?"
You have over 100 geese this year. If you continue to raise them for another year, you'll have over a thousand!
That's definitely not going to work, don't even think about it!
Unless you bring these geese under the regiment's jurisdiction and set up a farm within our regiment, making them affiliated with our regiment, then that wouldn't be possible!
Jiang Wenwan sighed.
"It's not that it's impossible, but I've worked hard to hatch these geese."
I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"Have your husband, Lao Lü, go ask him. I'll have my husband, Lao Zhou, ask him too. If they really don't allow us to keep so many, then I won't keep any next year!"
Jiang Wenwan said that, but he thought that if they could continue hatching next year, then 1,000 would be no problem!
Just think about your flock of geese, 1,000 of them! If they went to the grasslands, they'd just quack and eat whatever they wanted.
It will be truly spectacular.
But if they all belong to the group, then they won't be hers anymore.
Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.
When Zhou Yunting returned, he heard about her troubles and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Are you really planning to raise a hundred or so?"
Our family has more geese than other domesticated geese.
Keeping another hundred or so would be a bit unreasonable!
Jiang Wenwan was surprised; they wouldn't even let her keep over a hundred of them.
Does that mean she doesn't need to put in any effort and can just give up?
"Why didn't you remind me when I was incubating these goslings?"
Zhou Yunting sensed something was off about his wife's tone and immediately offered an explanation.
"I know you want to hatch them. If you want to, then hatch them. After you've hatched all these goslings, you can count them as part of our group."
It's fine to give it to those herders.
But it'll still count as part of our group, then…
Before Zhou Yunting could finish speaking, Jiang Wenwan interrupted him.
"Wait a minute, are you saying that I can't raise any of the geese I hatched?"
Then why should I even hatch them?
I'm not hatching anymore!
Seeing that she was angry, Zhou Yunting quickly tried to soothe her with kind words.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I only told the regimental commander about this after you started hatching geese."
Given the current policy, shouldn't we think of another way?
Hearing him explain the policies, Jiang Wenwan instantly cowered; she knew she could fight fire with fire.
"Forget it, why bother thinking of another way? I'll just hatch these geese and they'll all belong to the regiment."
Just give me a small tip from the group.
If you're letting the geese roam freely, my little black dog won't be responsible!
Zhou Yunting embraced her and gently stroked her back to comfort her.
"Good wife, I knew you would say that."
Actually, there's nothing wrong with being part of a group.
Jiang Wenwan knew, of course, that there was nothing wrong with it.
She was even thinking that when she had a lot of goose eggs in the future, she would donate some to the soldiers to eat every month!
"I understand. What's making me angry is that you're only telling me now."
Zhou Yunting smiled indulgently.
"I'm just afraid of discouraging you!"
Jiang Wenwan thought about it and realized that if he had told her earlier, she would indeed have lost motivation.
Never mind.
"100 is not enough."
I can hatch 1,000 of them for you next year, do you believe me?
Then all the eggs laid by these geese were kept, all of them were kept, and all of them were used to feed the goslings!
If there are 1000 goose eggs, we can say that the profit from the goose eggs will be 200 yuan per month.
And that doesn't even include the large male geese that can be eaten.
After a month, you'll earn at least 300, if not 200, then 30 or 40.
If this money belongs to an individual or family, it would definitely be a high income!
You can earn 2,500 yuan in a year and 5,000 yuan in two years.
Just think about what that means—you can become a millionaire in just four years!
Not to mention that the market is not yet saturated at this time, and various supplies are in short supply.
And that's not even counting the money she made from selling the goose down feathers to make down jackets!
Sigh, I should have just traveled to 80 years in the future.
At that time, we can go all out and do something big.
Zhou Yunting listened to her analysis and was also speechless.
And I agree with what she said, but this is just a thought.
Stop daydreaming.
Do you have balut (fertilized duck egg) today?
I'll have one.
Jiang Wenwan rummaged through it.
"There really is!"
Here, take it and cook it in the pot before eating!
Zhou Yunting really liked eating balut (fertilized duck egg), and soon a fragrant aroma wafted from the bottom of the pot.
He was disgusted by the taste of other meats, but he really liked this one.
It's funny that he's been surviving on just a little bit of meat from balut for over a month.
July arrived quickly, and Wu Weiguo returned to the island in mid-July.
