Chapter 255 What are the rules for selling eggs?
The Holy Female Conference is the only grand event in Guangshou City, after the Beast Soldiers and Generals, that almost all the people participate in. The Holy Females from the surrounding cities will also come from afar to participate, accompanied by their Beast Husbands. Whether it is to gain Beast Husbands with outstanding combat power or to have the opportunity to stay in Guangshou City, it is worth looking forward to for them! For a time, the accommodation, food, specialties, and entertainment projects in the city became an important source of crystals for the beastmen in the city.
The Iron-eating Beasts have many houses, and everyone is crowded together, trying to free up as many houses as possible for renting out.
Si Shuo and his friends had just returned to the house and had dinner in the evening when Wei Jin came to their house.
Just as Si Shuo was about to stand up, Wei Jin stopped him and said with a smile, "Shuo girl, you don't have to stand up. Just sit down."
He looked around. Zhile brought the fruit plate, Xuchi went to pour water, Jiliang was reading a book with a cover and pinyin, and Gongyou was teasing the two cubs with water sprayed from his fingertips.
Yin Jiang had just gone to the backyard to collect eggs, and Wei Ce sat with him.
"Your Blue Fox isn't here?"
Yes, why not? He is taking care of your grandchildren in the cave, Wei Ce thought silently, but smiled and said, "He is talking to his tribesmen about something. Father, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I'm the only real elder in our family in the city. Shouldn't I give you some advice if there's anything?
Although you have started some small businesses and farming, and the crystals you earn are more than enough to get through the rainy season and the cold winter, no one complains about working hard to earn crystals.
I only kept one room in my house and rented out the others. You can decide how many rooms to keep and how many to rent out...
In the past, we, the iron-eating beasts, didn’t even have enough food to eat ourselves, and we had nothing to sell. But now the chickens, ducks, and geese on the bamboo forest mountain are growing well and have started laying eggs, so we have become very hardworking and are ready to set up stalls to sell eggs.
If you are too busy, I can sell eggs for you!"
Si Shuo felt it was lively, and turned his head to look at Ji Liang. Before he could say anything, the latter understood and said with a smile: "Father Wei Jin, there are people from the Three-tailed Blue Fox tribe living in our backyard, and we have crops in the front yard, so we don't want to rent it out for the time being.
The poultry on Zhulin Mountain do produce a lot of eggs every day, and we need you to bring some along for sale. In fact, there are some rules for selling eggs.”
Wei Jin knew that Ji Liang was capable, so he asked with great interest: "Ji Liang, what are the rules for selling eggs?"
"On the market, an egg costs three to five level four crystals, right?"
"Yes, the cheaper ones sell for three yuan, and the more expensive ones sell for four yuan," Wei Jin nodded. Hearing him ask this, he became more curious.
"We can sell eggs in a game format. Eggs are fragile and difficult to handle, so we can temporarily use wooden balls as a substitute. There are five kinds of patterns printed on the wooden balls, and then they are mixed and grabbed.
One level six crystal can grab twelve wooden balls. We set the price at twice the market price of five level four crystals. If there are two balls with the same pattern, we will give one more ball. If there are five patterns, we will give one more ball. This will last until all balls have no identical patterns. We will give as many eggs as there are balls!"
Ji Liang improved the bird egg touching game that he had seen in Lincheng before.
Wei Jin still didn't understand. Si Shuo directly brought a bowl of five-color beans and demonstrated to him that there were prizes for matching the beans and there were also prizes for getting all five colors.
"We guarantee to give everyone a level 6 crystal stone and 20 eggs. We will never let anyone pay for it.
After all, our poultry are free-range and eat insects and crystals. The eggs they lay are nutritious and delicious, so the price of five level four crystals is appropriate.
What’s more, some orcs are lucky and may be able to take away a lot of eggs! As long as everyone understands this, there will definitely be no shortage of customers in front of the stall..." Ji Liang said with a hissing laugh.
Wei Jin now saw some of the fun in it, and even tried it himself, "It's really fun, it's easy to get addicted."
"The Iron-eating Beasts have a lot of eggs anyway, so we can use this method to stimulate everyone to buy them," Si Shuo said with a smile, "If we want to attract people here, then we can't just set up a stall to sell these, we should also prepare food, drinks, and entertainment!"
Wei Jin narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "We Iron-eating Beasts don't like to use our brains and don't have business acumen. You young people have active brains.
How about this, you come up with ideas, and after deducting the cost from the crystals earned, we split the profits 40% to 60%, you get 60%, we get 40%. No, 30% to 70% or 20% to 80% will also work!"
Si Shuo looked at her beastly husbands. They all smiled and nodded at her, letting her play as she pleased.
She coughed softly, "Then, I won't be polite?"
"You're welcome. Now we have enough eggs at home. They are nutritious and provide enough energy. We don't have to calculate the food every day. Everyone's mental outlook is different. Not only do we walk with the wind, but we are also willing to work harder.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Even if you open a stall and hire us as your assistants, that's fine! For us, it's just a matter of spending some time and effort, and the money we earn is free. There wasn't such a good thing in previous years." Wei Jin nodded, his brows relaxed and smiled.
Since she would earn her share of the crystal stones, Si Shuo immediately took out a piece of paper and a pen, first drawing out the territory of the iron-eating beasts, and then circling the surrounding shops and houses that she knew belonged to the iron-eating beasts with a red pen.
"These two streets are quite spacious, so we will set up a stall here. Isn't it almost the rainy and cold seasons? We definitely can't give away the food that can be stored. The poultry and livestock raised in the city to sell crystals have always been in short supply and difficult to buy, so we definitely can't sell them in large quantities. If we transport them from outside, the flying beasts can't carry too much food at a time..."
Listening to Si Shuo's elimination one by one, Wei Jin's heart was in his throat. What else could he sell?
"From what I know, there are many beast towns and tribes around that are rich in resources, at least there are plenty of fruits. They stockpile enough food to last them through the rainy season and cold winter, and 70% to 80% of the fruits are left to rot on the branches.
We can collect them, anything edible is fine! We can squeeze juice, make smoothies, and make fruit tea... I remember that the shrimps in our moat were flooded, but the river was turbulent and the shrimps were scattered, so it was difficult to catch them, and they were troublesome to eat and smelled fishy. We have a catching tool... plus various foods such as eggs... we can rent some snack stalls at a high price to enrich the food..."
Wei Jin understood. His people didn't need to go to other places to set up stalls. They could hire people to set up stalls in front of their homes to attract customers.
"As for the games, we can toss hoops, match eggs, throw sandbags, long jump... All we have to do is control the cost of the prizes and calculate the probability of success. Basically, it's just like catching crystals with a sack!"
Si Shuo chuckled and said, after all, they had opened a ring-tossing stall in Nanye City and earned baskets of crystals every day.
