When she said this, Yun Chaoyu was dumbfounded and vaguely guessed what her elder sister was going to do.
The man delivering the chickens did as he was told and helped Chaoge pick out forty chicks. Chaoge handed them to Chaoyu and told her a few words to keep an eye on the people in the main hall. Then he followed the man delivering the chickens to the homes of the first and second wives.
The two families had finished shelling their corn this morning and were drying it in their own yard.
Chaoge asked Dachuan and Huzi to call their mother out. When they saw the chickens and ducklings locked in the layers of chicken cages on the ox cart, they were dumbfounded.
"What are you doing? You silly boy, why don't you stop your little pigeon sister? She really delivered herself to my door?"
Wang said, and angrily slapped Hu Zi on the back. Hu Zi looked aggrieved: "No, I didn't know it was sent to our house. Sister Xiaoge asked me to come over, so I followed her back."
"No way, this, this is really for us?"
Wang Dachuan was also dumbfounded. He followed back foolishly and vaguely guessed this possibility, but since Chaoge didn't say anything, he was too embarrassed to ask.
"It's for your families, my aunt and my second aunt. Your two families are close to each other. The woods and the slope behind are yours. There is also a small ditch next to the house. It is very convenient to raise chickens and ducks."
As soon as Chaoge opened his mouth, Qiu and Wang's eyes widened: "Oh my God, how much is this?!"
"There were originally 300 chickens, and I took 40 of them. The rest will be given to you, my aunt and uncle. There are also 500 ducks. Since you have a large family, these chickens and ducks will be a great income after a year. Chicken eggs can also be exchanged for a lot of money."
Chaoge said with a smile, while Qiu and Wang were already stunned with fear!
It's okay to raise a few, but raising seven or eight hundred chickens and ducks, my God! Where do they have so much food to feed them?
Even if they don't eat it and leave it all for the chickens and ducks, the output from the fields that year will still not be enough!
"Little pigeon, you have not been in the village for a long time, you must know that this beast eats a lot.
Your aunt and I know you mean well, but we can’t afford it!”
Wang usually likes to take advantage of small opportunities, but when such a huge opportunity was suddenly presented to her, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to take it at all.
Qiu also echoed her, but Chaoge ignored her and asked the people to carry the chickens and ducks down.
They had made the chicken and duck cages themselves. When the chicken and duck vendors saw Qiu and Wang's attitude, they were really afraid that the two women would ask for returns, so they were so scared that they didn't dare to take the cages. After urging Chaoge to pay the remaining money, they hurriedly drove away on their ox carts.
"One, one ounce and four cents of silver?
Forget it, little pigeon. Just keep it and we'll give you the silver."
Qiu watched Chaoge readily take out one tael and four cents of silver, swallowed her saliva, and decided that she would not take advantage of this at any cost.
Even though they were now having a headache about what to do with these hundreds of chickens and ducks, they could not waste Chaoge's kindness.
Although Wang felt distressed, she gritted her teeth and nodded, agreeing to share the cost of buying the chickens and ducklings with Qiu.
Seeing them like this, Chaoge felt a little embarrassed.
She felt that what she was giving was not an opportunity to make a fortune, but trouble to the two families.
It was indeed a bit annoying that she acted on her own initiative, but if she had informed her two aunts in advance, they would definitely have stopped her from buying it.
Then, Chaoge told them the method of raising chickens and ducks. Sure enough, the worried expressions on the sisters-in-law's faces were much less, but they were still a little skeptical.
"Really? Is this really possible?
Without food, can this chicken grow up and lay eggs? "
Wang still didn't believe it and asked again.
“Of course, that’s how we raised the chickens on our farm. Not only that, they lay eggs more often and the chicken tastes better.
And aunties, please do the math. We have seven hundred chickens and ducks. One duck grown up can be sold for one hundred coins, which is not expensive. So seven hundred ducks can be sold for seventy taels of silver.
Seventy taels of silver. Even if you use ten taels of silver to buy some worthless sweet potatoes and rotten vegetable leaves, you can already buy a large pile of them. Then there will be sixty taels left.
The sixty taels can be divided between your two families, and each of you can earn thirty taels a year.
I have only calculated the cost of selling the meat, not the cost of laying eggs!
Do you think this deal is worth it?
I only spent a little over one tael of silver, but I helped you earn dozens of taels. What's wrong with that?"
Chaoge calculated the gross profit for them in such detail that the two sisters-in-law were so shocked that their mouths could almost be stuffed with eggs. They looked at each other in disbelief!
"Thirty taels, sister-in-law, can we women also earn thirty taels a year?
I, why can't I believe it! ?
I think if I could earn three taels of silver a year, my wife would praise me to the sky!"
Wang swallowed her saliva. She didn't even dare to have such a dream, but now Chaoge had described it to her in such vivid detail!
Qiu nodded blankly. She was always calm and composed, but Chaoge's flattery made her feel a little dizzy.
"Yeah, I, I can't believe it either.
Thirty taels, my god.
Today, the boss said that they brothers are going to be successful and can each earn ten taels of silver in two months. They looked so proud. I also wanted to try it.
I want to show him how he would react if I earned thirty taels of silver a year."
In this era, almost ninety-nine percent of women depend on men for their lives.
The Qiu family is no exception. Even their husbands are good people who don't beat or scold them. Compared with other people's husbands, this is already a great blessing.
But when she thought about how they, who had been dependent on men for most of their lives, could also earn money, and more than their men, Qiu felt inexplicably excited, her whole body boiling with passion, and she couldn't wait to do something big.
"Let's do it!
It is the little pigeons that become more experienced after a few years of being out there. Without the little pigeons putting pressure on us, how could we have such courage and guts!
Forget it. At worst, we can take out half of the family savings to buy sweet potatoes for these chickens and ducks. Anyway, we men can still earn money.
Even if it doesn't work out in the end, these chickens and ducks have grown up, and we can sell them at a profit."
The two sisters-in-law, who had been farming obediently, gradually developed the motivation to fight hard after hearing Chaoge's beautiful descriptions.
Seeing her two sisters-in-law like this, Chaoge felt relieved.
She was worried that the two of them were afraid of this and that, and she had also made plans that if they really didn't want to have the child and were afraid of the responsibility, she would raise the child herself.
When the time comes, I will rent a piece of land in the village, spend a few hundred coins a month, and hire two people to take care of it.
Fortunately, both of my two aunts-in-law were decisive and made up their minds so quickly, and they were forced to do it by me.
Just like in modern times, there are often opportunities to make money right in front of us, but some people are born timid, while others just go for it without thinking twice.
