Chapter 027 Only Gold Coins Owed
In the end, Aunt Cao bought the remaining four eggs in Tang Yuan's basket.
However, these four eggs were smaller, so the price was lower, only 6 cents each. But even so, she could still make 4 cents by selling these four eggs.
Just like that, today's eggs were sold out before she even took them back.
When she was walking back with the empty basket, Sun Dong was also walking back with the empty basket, and they soon arrived at the hill where A Feng was guarding.
"It's still good like this. I don't have to stay outside after going out and coming back," Sun Feng said. "I can sleep more peacefully at night now."
"So Sister Fang took a lot of risks for us," Sun Dong put down the basket, "So, did that bastard catch up with us?"
"He chased me, but I was left behind. Who am I to let him catch up with me?" Sun Feng said immediately. "Today I even asked my dad to check on him. Hehe, he hasn't been to work for several days."
"Let him follow me for a few steps today," Sun Dong picked up the basket and hung it on his shoulder. "Let's go and give him a little lesson, so that he knows who he should not offend."
“Here I come!”
…
Tang Yuan walked to the entrance of the alley of the "temporary residence" and saw someone walking out from inside, so he retreated cautiously.
The two people who came out didn't see her and were whispering, "This is a good place, no one is coming."
"If no one comes, you have to bring some people. This place is so remote, if too many people come, they will be noticed. This won't work. We still have to change places."
"I'm so annoyed. If Brother Guo hadn't been arrested..."
"I think that this time, Brother Guo is to blame. People have been turning a blind eye to this. If he doesn't come near people, they won't arrest him. Why did he insist on selling that batch of goods?"
"What's the big deal about a little illness? It's not bad. I can still eat it."
"Even if it's just a little sick, it's still a sick pig. We can't lose our conscience just to make money!"
"What a heartless person! You're acting as if you don't make any money. I'm telling you, Zhao Zhiqiang, Brother Guo is gone. I'm the boss of our place. It doesn't matter if you're sick or not. As long as you can make money, it's a good thing. If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!"
"Zhiyong, we are brothers, why do you treat me like this?" Zhao Zhiqiang said angrily.
"Don't mess with me, we are brothers. If you delay me from making money, even if it's you, we can't be brothers," the man called Zhiyong shook off Zhao Zhiqiang's hand, "You should reflect on yourself."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Zhao Zhiqiang stayed where he was and couldn't help patting his head: "But the pigs are sick. What if something happens... what if..."
Having said this, he pounded the wall angrily and then quickly left.
Tang Yuan then came out from the corner, looked at the direction the two people left, and then looked at the empty alley.
She had chosen a good alley. Not only was it remote, but even people from the black market were unwilling to come here.
But no wonder someone hid in the dark and blocked her when she went to the black market before. It turned out that they wanted to catch the pig sellers. Selling pork is not a big deal under normal circumstances, but selling sick pigs is not just speculation, but a lack of conscience.
She looked in the direction the two men left, thoughtfully.
After a while, I returned to the game space through the "temporary residence".
Putting the empty basket in the corner, she went to the front yard, harvested what she had planted today, traded all of it to the game, bought new seeds and planted them, and then opened the trading mall.
Gas stove, gas, sink, pots and pans...all ready in one go.
After some "hidden" knocking and banging, a complete set of kitchen utensils appeared in the wooden house in a short while. This way, she would not have to worry about not being able to handle whatever she bought in the future. She could prepare and cook whatever she wanted here.
She turned the gas stove several times, watching the flames rising, feeling very happy.
There was rice in the trading mall, and she spent money to buy a pound of rice and cooked it in a pressure cooker.
Ever since she came here, her daily rations have been mostly coarse grains. The factory gave her money and receipts, and the food she bought was mainly coarse grains, with only a small amount of fine grains mixed in. Now that she finally has the chance, she must eat rice to her heart's content.
Her good mood continued, and when she returned to her main body, her face was filled with visible happiness.
After the rice was cooked, she put it directly into the lunch box and ate the rice without any vegetables. After she was full, she felt that it was tasteless, so she ate a tomato in the game space.
For dinner, she brought cooked rice and boiled an egg.
Her body and mind were still clamoring for meat, which made her want to do something big even more. Sun Dong only had more than thirty chickens, and he would only take them out when the chickens were almost dead.
Raising pigs is different. People raise pigs to sell. A pig weighs several hundred pounds, and if she is given all the food, she can eat it all for a long time. At worst, she can save money to buy a storage unit specifically for storing pork.
The two pig farmers were about to have a dispute, but they lacked an incident to make it a bigger issue.
Wait for Sun Dong to come over in two days and we can discuss it properly.
The brothers Sun Dong and Sun Feng were already engaged in speculation and would not mind adding another business. However, Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to do clean pork business, so he could seek cooperation with them.
If she could call him over, she would have done a good deed. Otherwise, she would have been arrested sooner or later for following that guy named Zhiyong. If she didn't catch him now, she would have been arrested again in the future even if she had not been charged with speculation.
Food safety issues are not the same as speculation. The latter is a problem of the times, while the former is a threat to public safety.
…
“Hahahahahaha…”
"Bah, you deserve it, but it should be okay, right?"
"What's the problem? The hole is so small, he can crawl out by himself." Sun Dong said, and suddenly saw something in front of him. He jumped over and stood up with a pheasant in his hand.
"Want some chicken tonight? This pheasant is pretty big!"
"Go and see if there are any pheasant eggs," Sun Dong tied up the chicken skillfully, threw it into the basket, and covered it with straw. "We can't bear to throw away our own chickens, but this is still edible. I'll let Auntie cook it later."
"Found it, there are quite a lot of pheasant eggs." Sun Feng stood up with a few eggs and happily put them in his pocket.
Just at this moment, there was a rustling sound not far away.
Two people came out and met their eyes.
Sun Feng put the pheasant eggs in his arms.
Sun Dong picked up the basket and walked forward, making a "tsk" sound as he passed by.
Sun Feng hurriedly followed. After the two passed each other, he whispered, "Dongzi, I heard that Guo Weiqiang was arrested. These two have a good relationship with Guo Weiqiang. I saw them meet several times, secretly, and it seems that they have bad intentions."
"Guo Weiqiang was arrested for speculation and profiteering," said Sun Dong.
"Ah?" Sun Feng sighed loudly, then reacted and lowered his voice, "Is it the one who was arrested a few days ago? It turned out to be him! I thought it was far away, so these two brothers may also be related?"
"So you better hide well and don't let anyone find out where we raise chickens." Sun Dong also lowered his voice.
"That's definitely not possible. No one knows the village better than me. Even my father doesn't know the place we're looking for, let alone others," Sun Feng said confidently. "Then what do you think they are raising?"
Sun Dong: "I guess it's a pig."
"Such a big deal? They were the ones selling pigs on the black market? I wanted to buy some pork some time ago," Sun Feng frowned, "Luckily I didn't go, otherwise I would have been recognized and reported and implicated."
"What are you afraid of? Guo Weiqiang was arrested, but his family members are still outside. They hid well, otherwise we would have recognized them long ago," Sun Dong said casually. "Guo Weiqiang wanted someone to take care of his family members, and even the two people just now didn't tell us. We can just pretend we don't know."
"Oh."
"By the way, when you pick up eggs these two days, check whether they are fertilized. When the weather gets milder, we can hatch some more chickens. Some of the hens have become old hens and don't lay eggs." Sun Dong reminded.
"No problem. I can do that."
…
[If it is detected that the eggs are about to break, should the breeding area be opened? 】
There really is a breeding area?
Tang Yuan looked at the line of words in front of her in astonishment, and immediately selected "Yes". Then she thought to herself that it was no wonder that she had failed to bring in chickens before, because it turned out that the eggs needed to be cracked from the shell.
After confirming that it was turned on, on the right hand side of the door, there was a project under renovation, which indicated that it would take 12 hours to complete.
Click on this unfinished project and the relevant message will be displayed immediately.
Primary breeding area: free
Intermediate Farming Area: 1000 coins
Advanced Farming Area: 10,000 coins
…
After looking for a few seconds, she turned around, lowered her head, landed on the ground, walked around the field, and found a small upright sign in the corner that read "Planting Area".
After clicking it, I saw the upgrade prompt for the planting area.
Unlike the breeding area, the planting area is upgraded by level. Level one is 100 coins, level two is 200 coins, level three is 300 coins... and so on. There is no doubling of the level, which is probably the greatest mercy of the planting area.
Look at the prompt again, after upgrading to level one, the output can be increased by 10%.
Currently, the average daily profit from the crops she grows is about 30 coins. If it increases by 10%, she can earn an extra 3 coins a day, and she can earn back the 100 coins she spent on the upgrade in one month.
Each subsequent upgrade can increase production by 10% based on the current level. With this algorithm, although the price of each subsequent upgrade will be high, the increased production will also be impressive.
A 10% increase in profit of 30 coins only adds 3 coins, a 10% increase in profit of 300 coins adds 30 coins, and a 10% increase in profit of 3,000 coins means you can earn an extra 300 coins with one upgrade!
Okay, now everything is ready, all we need is gold coins.
Tang Yuan looked at the account statement with only a few digits of gold coins remaining, and then looked at the upgrade prompt in front of him. He never expected that returning to this era, it would be difficult not only to make money in reality, but also in the game.
It's really not easy to live a good life these days.
