After getting off work, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan drove to a farmers' market in the suburbs.
That's right, Bi Qiaoan wanted to make her goose public, so she discussed with Shen Yanming about buying some chicks.
Haha, she really does come up with whatever comes to mind, but Shen Yanming indulges her.
After the two entered the farmers' market, they found that there were very few stalls. Thinking about it, it made sense. After all that Qinghua Kingdom had gone through, not many people were willing to sell their food.
Some of the produce sold in shopping malls and supermarkets was purchased at high prices from farmers in various regions, while the rest was grown by the Qinghe Guard in secret bases. The Qinghe Alliance went to great lengths to ensure the survival of the people of Qinghua.
They searched almost the entire farmers' market before finally finding two chickens in a corner.
"Big sister, do you have any chicks at home?"
"Yes, girl, do you want it?" The older woman's eyes lit up as she looked at Bi Qiaoan, like a wolf eyeing meat.
"Oh, right, is there a problem?" Bi Qiaoan felt a little intimidated by her older sister's gaze.
"No problem, no problem. There are a lot of people buying chicks lately. If you want one, leave me your phone number and I'll deliver it to you after it hatches."
"A lot of people are buying it?" Bi Qiaoan asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course! Everything is rationed these days. If you want to eat more meat and eggs, what else can you do but raise them yourself? Daughter, let me tell you, you can't buy those canned meats on the black market. I heard they're full of some kind of bugs. A lot of people in our village have ended up in the hospital!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded blankly. Her older sister was quite pleased with Bi Qiaoan's obedient appearance. "If your family has a lot of land, you can raise some piglets. You can eat fatty meat in the winter. If you want, I'll go and find some for you."
Bi Qiaoan quickly shook her head, "No, sister, my family doesn't have much land. Raising some chickens is enough. I'm a little scared of pigs."
"Haha, you city people are so delicate, but I can understand, I can understand. If it weren't for the bad weather these past two years, how many city people would know how to do farm work!"
"Hey ma'am, how much does each of your chicks cost?"
"A hen is ten yuan, and a rooster is five yuan. How many do you want?"
Bi Qiaoan finally understood why she was the "fat meat"—she was practically being slaughtered. The price of a few chicks was more expensive than the price of a whole chicken. No wonder her older sister was so eager to sell the chicks. Once she mastered the hatching technique, she could make a fortune in just twenty days.
Moreover, as long as the equipment is up to par, producing a whole brood of animals every day is not a problem!
Bi Qiaoan thought to herself, this skill can earn more money than a regular job!
When the older sister saw that Bi Qiaoan didn't speak, she thought that she thought it was too expensive. "Girl, the chicken meat is dead, but the chicks are alive."
Don't worry about the price. The chicks will grow up and lay eggs, and if you have a rooster, the hen can brood. This purchase guarantees a continuous supply of meat!
Seeing that her older sister was about to continue, Bi Qiaoan quickly interrupted, "You're right, I want ten hens and two roosters."
The eldest sister was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Bi Qiaoan, "Okay, okay, I'll deliver them to you in ten days. By the way, if you can introduce me to customers, I'll give you a chick if I get a hundred chicks. How about that?"
"Sister, you're quite the businesswoman! As long as your chicks are healthy, I'll recommend you to my shop!"
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely pick the best for you!"
"By the way, do you have any geese, ma'am?"
"No, but I can ask around for you."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"
After leaving her contact information with her older sister, Bi Qiaoan paid half of the deposit and left.
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan walked back, the sun had already set and it was getting dark. They saw swarms of mosquitoes flying around under the streetlights and trees, and passersby were walking briskly, waving their hands to swat them away.
"I wonder if Zhang Chenjun has submitted the spice recipe yet," Bi Qiaoan whispered in Shen Yanming's ear.
Shen Yanming put his arm around Bi Qiaoan and walked towards the parking lot. "We've done what we could. What Zhang Chenjun does is beyond our control."
In the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance office, Qiu Man had already reported the spice recipe to the Li Cheng Alliance Chief.
Upon hearing this, General Li was quite surprised and hurriedly asked Qiu Man, "Was the spice recipe also something that appeared in the dream of the dream predictor?"
Qiu Man shook his head. "Wei Xu said it was given by a mysterious person, and they don't know the other party's identity either."
Li Zongmengguan laughed, "It seems that Qinghua Kingdom is full of talented people. Who knows how many capable people there are in the private sector? Since the other party does not want to reveal their identity, let's not investigate further. As long as they have no hostility towards Qinghua Kingdom, that's fine."
"It's not just that they're not hostile; they're all helping Qinghua Kingdom in their own ways!" Qiu Man said, laughing as he spoke. It was like when you're struggling in the dark, you suddenly find someone silently cheering you on and secretly slipping a flashlight into your hand.
What's the situation now?
"After Wei Xu submitted the prescription yesterday, I gave it to the research institute. They have already made the finished product according to the prescription and are currently testing it. Although the raw materials are various Chinese medicines, everyone is worried about what kind of reaction might occur if they are mixed together, so we want to do a thorough test to be on the safe side."
Li Zongmengguan nodded, "We do need to be careful. This will be used by the entire Qinghua Kingdom and even other countries in the future, so we can't be careless at all."
"Yes, as everyone knows, after confirming there are no toxic side effects, further testing is needed to assess the effectiveness. Dean Xu said that after the entire process is completed, he will provide you with a detailed report."
"If the effect is as expected, the dream predictor will have done another great service. Go back and ask her what she wants, and we'll try our best to fulfill it!"
Qiu Man smiled, "Okay, but that girl is sensible, she probably won't want anything."
"Then we'll leave it as an obligation for now. The Qinghe Alliance will have to repay this kindness eventually."
When Qiu Man returned to his office, he saw a group of people sorting and packing boxes of jewelry.
"What's going on here, making my office all glittery?"
"Hey, Boss Qiu, can I borrow your office for a bit? We need to give out rewards to those citizens who traded energy rainwater, right? Those coal, red wine, chocolate, cotton, and stuff, the guard team will distribute them after they pass inspection. As long as you didn't choose to store them with the guard team, the guard team will arrange for a courier to deliver them to your door."
However, most people don't know much about these jewels. When we go abroad to trade, we bring experts with us. After we bring them back, the boss tells us to allocate them according to the price and have our guards personally deliver them to our door.
Even though it's the apocalypse, these jewels are still quite valuable to most people. We don't want anyone with ulterior motives swapping them out on the way!
