“If you take the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative now, they’ll be 55 cents for ten eggs. These eggs can sell for at least 2 yuan!”
Wang Guihua was also beaming with joy; once the hen laid an egg, more would surely follow.
This is only a small amount. If all the chickens in the farm laid eggs, how much money could they sell for?
Upon hearing what Wang Guihua said, everyone began to secretly plot in their hearts.
You don’t know until you calculate it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
If 1,500 chickens lay eggs every day, that's about 80 yuan a day. Over a month, wow, that's about 2,400 yuan.
If you add the duck eggs, it would be about 5,000 yuan a month.
5,000 yuan?
What does this mean?!
"This is just the beginning. It will be great once they all lay eggs."
Ning Jing smiled at everyone and gathered the eggs into a basket.
“I’ll take these to the brigade headquarters and have the accountant do some bookkeeping. Sister Guihua, we also need to keep some bookkeeping here. That way, we’ll know how many eggs we’ve collected each month, and we’ll have a basis for reconciling the accounts with the village.”
"If anyone in the village needs these first-laid eggs, we'll buy them from the accountant; if no one wants them, we'll take them to the supply and marketing cooperative in town."
Everyone nodded upon hearing Ning Jing's words.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
However, despite the nutritional value of first-born eggs, neither Wang Guihua nor Aunt Wu had any intention of buying them.
Ten eggs cost 55 cents, and first-laid eggs are much smaller than other eggs. With so many people in the family, it's not a problem who gets to eat them.
So, when Ning Jing took the basket of eggs to the brigade headquarters, she mentioned it to the village chief and the accountants.
No one stood up to say they wanted to buy it. Just in case, the village chief even took out a megaphone and shouted at the whole village.
The whole village was in an uproar when they heard that the chickens at the farm had started laying eggs.
It's only been a few months, what are you talking about?
How do chickens lay eggs?
Especially for those villagers who invested money, although the weather had turned cold, their hearts were burning with enthusiasm.
Many savvy people did some mental calculations and realized that if all the chickens and ducks in the farm started laying eggs, they would know that the money would definitely be substantial.
However, the villagers were not allowed to buy their own eggs.
Ning Jing waited for a long time, and seeing that no one came, she finally spoke with a smile.
Since no one else in the village wanted them, she would pay for the eggs this time!
This way, the accountant won't have to make a trip to the county town in this cold weather just for a few eggs.
The brigade's accountant was the happiest when he heard Ning Jing's words.
Anyway, selling to the supply and marketing cooperative is selling, selling to Ning Jing is selling, so it doesn't matter who you sell to.
Besides, the original intention was for people in the village to buy it, but no one came.
Ning Jing came carrying a basket of eggs, and then left carrying another basket of eggs.
As soon as she entered her home, Tiedan rushed excitedly towards her.
"Sister-in-law, look, what's this?"
He rushed up to Ning Jing, stopped, and opened his palm, revealing a bloody egg lying in his hand.
Uh... Ning Jing felt like she had forgotten about the chickens at home.
"There are 13 hens in my house, and they laid 8 eggs!"
"By the way, sister-in-law, what's in your basket?"
Tie Dan was overjoyed. He had already inquired and found out that ten eggs cost 55 cents, and eight eggs would cost more than 70 cents, which could buy a lot of things!
