The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 86 The Wang family is about to start selling chickens
The price of firewood rooster in the market had risen to six yuan and five pounds. However, when Ma Zhentang brought the good news to Wang Fumin, Wang Fumin did not show much excitement on his face.

He is always like this, so calm that people feel a little unreasonable.

In the evening, when Wang Fumin told Wang Shaodong that the market price of live chickens in the market had reached [-] yuan, and the [-] chickens in their family were less than ten days away from being slaughtered, then Wang Fumin He asked his son if he had contacted Zhao Mingwei, the big chicken dealer in southern Thailand.

Because he bought 2 chickens after listening to his son's words, and now the market has suddenly risen, and their family is about to make a lot of money, so now Wang Fumin is a little superstitious about his son.

Wang Shaodong shook his head calmly, and said, "Dad, believe me, there are not many chickens in Qilu Province now. We have so many chickens in our hands. We are not afraid that chicken dealers will not come to inquire. Why are we in a hurry?"

Wang Shaodong's analysis is correct.The chicken dealer has no chickens to sell and no money to make. Can you not worry?The chicken dealer was in a hurry, so he asked around where there was chicken?With so many chickens in the hands of the Wang family, how can the chicken dealer not find out?
Therefore, Wang Shaodong felt that what they had to do now was to wait for the call from the chicken dealer, and then wait for them to raise the prices of each other.

Wang Shaodong has worked in sales for ten years, so he knows all these things well.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the entire small mountain village began to slowly show a sense of the year, rich and poor, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

And this morning, the smiles on the faces of the Wang family were particularly bright.

In the morning, Wang Fumin did receive a call from a stranger, saying that it was a live chicken dealer in Taishan City, asking if they would sell the chicken to him.

There is still about a week before their chickens go out to the market, and the chicken dealers can't bear it anymore.

According to what Wang Shaodong told him, Wang Fumin asked about the price, and then said a few perfunctory words with a smile, and then said that he would call on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month and have a good talk.

Now there are still nine days before their chickens are ready for slaughter, so there is no need for the Wang family to be in a hurry.

In this way, starting from the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the Wang family would receive calls from several unfamiliar chicken dealers every day, including those in Taishan City, Tainan City, Feishi City, and even Jiaodong. Inquire over here.And the quotations of the chicken dealers are getting higher and higher day by day. By the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the price of the chickens sold by the chicken dealers in a cart is close to five yuan.

Wang Shaodong is convinced that the chickens in his family are sold well, and they can even touch the price of six yuan.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Shaodong received a call from Song Tao's father. He first asked about Wang Shaodong's recent situation, and then changed the topic to supplying old chickens to their fried chicken restaurant.

Song Daojiang was very experienced in speaking. When Wang Shaodong asked him how to calculate the purchase price, he said that he would let Wang Shaodong decide.

Wang Shaodong had inquired a long time ago that the fried chicken shops on Qishan were seriously short of chickens these two days, and at the end of the year, many of the gatherings would choose to find a fried chicken restaurant on Qishan. Ten fried chicken restaurants are very popular at the end of the year.

When I go to Qishan, I just eat Qishan fried chicken. If there is no chicken, then this fried chicken restaurant will not even think about doing it in the future.

Due to the shortage of chickens, the fried chicken shop on Qishan has bought old chickens from chicken dealers for 14 yuan a catty these days.Such a price has hardly appeared in recent years, it is too high.

Moreover, even if it costs 14 yuan a catty, you may not be able to buy old chickens.

This year's avian flu has already depleted the free-range chickens in the hands of local people around Luzhong City.The old chickens of chicken dealers are mainly collected from ordinary people. Most of them are raised from chickens bought in the spring of the previous year. The price of seven or eight yuan was collected, and then sent to Qishan.

A chicken that is more than seven months old can earn 40 yuan if it is resold in the hands of a chicken dealer, which is more profitable than the next day's strength of dry construction.

Of course, this is an individual case, and most ordinary people still know the price difference between a chicken that is more than seven months old and a chicken that is five months old.

There is not much difference in weight between a five-month-old rooster and an old chicken over seven months old, but there is a big difference in the weight of the feed they eat.

A five-month-old rooster eats less than 10 catties of feed, while a seven-month-old chicken eats about 22 catties. There is a big difference in the input between the two.

The five-month-old rooster weighs five catties, while the seven-month-old chicken weighs seven catties. It eats 12 catties of feed, but only gains two catties of meat.

All chicken farmers know that if you want to sell chickens, it is most profitable to sell young cocks at four months and old roosters at seven months.

At four months, the little rooster just reached the standard of being sold in a large cart, and the ratio of feeding to weight was the most suitable, so it made the most money.The seven-month-old chickens can also be called old chickens, and they can be sold at the price of old chickens. If they are raised again, the weight will not increase much, but the cost will only increase.

When Wang Shaodong heard that Song Daojiang asked him to set a price, he knew that the other party really felt that the price given by the chicken dealer was too high, and he was embarrassed to say the price was too low. He also felt that the chickens of the Wang family were definitely not as good as the chickens that the chicken dealer received from the common people. Okay, so I feel that Wang’s chickens should not be sold at the price of 14 yuan a catty.

"Uncle, I heard that the price of your chickens from the chicken dealer has reached 14 yuan a catty recently?"

Wang Shaodong asked tentatively.

"Oh? Who did you hear that from?"

Song Daojiang did not answer Wang Shaodong's question directly, but instead asked where Wang Shaodong got the news.It can be heard that Song Daojiang was a little dissatisfied in his words. He thought that the price that Xiao Wang planned to set was 14 yuan a catty, so he regretted that he didn't say the price himself just now.

Wang Shaodong heard what Song Daojiang meant, and said: "Uncle, let's see, our chickens are not as good as those of the chicken dealer. After all, we are raised in a greenhouse. If the chicken dealer's price is 14 yuan a catty, then our chickens will be 13 yuan. A catty of money, what do you think?"

This is a reasonable price, and Song Daojiang has no other opinions.

In fact, Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong's psychological price at the beginning was only 12 yuan, but if it was 13 yuan, then their 2000 chickens would suddenly cost another 1 yuan.

"Okay, this price is okay, just follow our contract, you'd better send it to us early tomorrow."

Wang Shaodong smiled: "No problem!"
