Gou Yanshun's eyes became even more fiery, and he hurriedly tempted, "Sister, meat won't work, let's change our thinking, what about eggs?"
"Sister, think about it. If we raise ten chickens, they lay one egg a day, that's ten eggs. We used to sell them for fifty cents a pound, but now they're in such short supply. We can double the price and sell them for ten cents a pound."
"Sister, I'm telling you something in secret. The chicken restriction order is not that strict now. Many families out there are secretly raising more chickens. Your house is close to the mountains, so even fewer people will come here. Plus, your house and Third Sister-in-law's house have high walls, so you can't see anything from the outside unless you open the door. How about raising twenty chickens and laying twenty eggs a day?"
There were ten just now, and now it has doubled to twenty.
To be honest, Ruan Niannian was moved.
but--
"There's nothing else, who's going to take care of it?"
Ruan Niannian looked at him and analyzed the current situation for him. "I have to raise a pen of rabbits and dozens of chickens. What do the chickens eat? Who will feed the chickens? How much money do I make in a day?"
"My rabbits give birth once every one and a half months. If they are well fed, the males can be sold in about two months. The slower ones can grow to two to three kilograms in three months and can be sold."
"I have been raising these rabbits since I was pregnant. It took me several months to grow them to a profitable scale. How long would it take to raise chickens?"
After this analysis, Gou Yanshun realized that he had taken it for granted. He had not come here often and had not noticed that Ruan Niannian was raising rabbits.
Before today, he always thought that Ruan Niannian quickly raised such a large number of rabbits and sold them, and he did not think deeply about where the rabbits came from.
Gou Yanshun hung his head in frustration. "Alas, I took it for granted. Sister, you are right. To make money, you still have to take your time."
Looking at his expression, Ruan Niannian knew that he had been frustrated at home again.
"Your family, are they talking about you again?"
Speaking of this, Gou Yanshun got angry. "It's the old man at home who said that there's no future in doing business. Now it's not as strict as it was in those years. If there's another crackdown, I'll starve to death. And they insisted on sending me to that Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. It really pissed me off. How can I, who didn't even finish high school, go to university?"
Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
Ruan Niannian frowned. Isn't the current Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University only for workers or cadres with outstanding performance? How many connections did Gou Yanshun's family have?
"Isn't it good to have a university diploma?" Ruan Niannian said casually, but she was thinking in her mind that the current Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is really of little use. Most of them are used as stepping stones for workers in units or cadres within the system to upgrade.
There's really not much I can learn.
Gou Yanshun was firm in his attitude and resisted going to college. "I don't want it. It's not what I deserve. Even if I get it, it's fake. Sister, I will follow you. I can earn money steadily by following you. How about you give me some advice?"
Speaking of this, Ruan Niannian actually has a solution. Her family can't raise so many chickens, but what if it's a whole village?
"You can ask your brother to introduce you to the village party secretary..."
Ruan Niannian gave some instructions, which made Gou Yanshun very happy after hearing her advice. "Sister, if it really works, I will also give you 10% of the net profit, forever!"
He had heard that just because Pei Qinggang helped Ruan Niannian catch a few rabbits from time to time to fill the "Rabbit Palace", Ruan Niannian directly gave him 10% of the net profit for a period of one year.
Don’t ask him where he heard it from. Who else could it be other than Wu Lanhua?
"Let's talk about it when you're done." Ruan Niannian fell back into the recliner because her waist was tired from sitting. She grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves and threw them into the rabbit pen, watching the rabbits scramble for the food.
Gou Yanshun was about to leave, "Then sister, take care to rest. I'll come to see you when the matter is done. Don't get tired. If you want to eat something later, ask the third sister-in-law to tell me. Milk powder is not easy to get, but malted milk can still be obtained."
"Got it. Be careful on your way back and ride carefully."
She didn't want Gou Yanshun to leave the tricycle behind today and let him walk back to the commune? Impossible, he was still a little delicate, and his feet would be covered with blisters after walking back.
Wu Xinghua, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Gou Yanshun leave and came out to bring plantain water to Ruan Niannian.
She was extremely envious of Wu Lanhua and Gou Yanshun who were able to make money with Ruan Niannian. Although her current salary of five yuan a month for taking care of Ruan Niannian was also very good, Wu Lanhua and Gou Yanshun earned more!
Ruan Niannian drank a bowl of water and saw Wu Xinghua's envious eyes beside her. She asked her jokingly, "Why? Do you want to go out for a run too?"
"That's not true." Wu Xinghua said quickly, "I heard from my brother Wolf that things were very chaotic outside recently. I don't want to run around. I just don't know when I can make as much money as they do by your side."
It turns out that he was staring at this matter.
Ruan Niannian said seriously: "Xinghua, believe me, as long as you work hard, you will definitely have opportunities. There will be many more shops in the future, and each one may be a shop you manage. By then, you will also be a partner and can make as much money as them!"
She painted the cake seriously, and Wu Xinghua ate it seriously. After eating, she expressed her loyalty, "Don't worry, I will do my best. Didn't my sister Lanhua also get commissions before? She is also a partner now. I am not greedy. I can earn money steadily and not rely on men for everything. If I want a penny, I have to ask men for it."
Her idea can be said to be very advanced.
"I support you, but there is one thing I want to say. The great man only said that women can hold up half the sky. The other half belongs to men. It doesn't mean that if you can make money, your partner has no obligation to support the family. The family is yours together. You both have responsibilities and obligations. Don't be too strong. Occasionally, you should rely on each other."
It's not that she has much experience.
She was just talking on paper, but the fact that it developed into the mainstream thought among married women decades later must have been the result of many experiences by predecessors.
Wu Xinghua said she understood.
Every time she listened to Ruan Niannian speak, she felt that she had learned a lot. She didn’t know how Ruan Niannian knew so much at such a young age. Did she learn it all from books?
Just as Wu Xinghua continued to work in the kitchen, the sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly darkened and a large number of dark clouds gathered.
Ruan Niannian frowned, stood up and walked into the house.
There is no weather forecast now, and the rain starts falling as soon as it is supposed to. Pei Yuanzheng and the others haven’t come back yet.
Pei Qinggang also went to the mountains and said that he could not take the share for free, so he went to catch some rabbits for Ruan Niannian.
I don’t know if he can get back before the rain falls.
