The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Jun Lan said succinctly: "The quantity needs to be large enough."

Jun Lan finished speaking. Some people looked confused, while others lowered their heads and began to ponder...

Gu Yin understood what Jun Lan meant and explained, "You're right. This is indeed a major premise. Currently, meat sold in the market is either raised by farmers themselves and brought to the county town to sell, or purchased from the countryside by people who specialize in this business. Not only is the quantity small, but it is also scattered, so it is too difficult to distribute."

"I see, that does make sense." Zhang Letian nodded in sudden enlightenment, "But how can we unify them?"

"It's possible to send people to the countryside to purchase the meat, slaughter them uniformly, and then sell them to stalls that specialize in selling meat. However, this will add an extra process in the middle, and the final selling price will definitely be more expensive than buying directly from the countryside." Su Zimo continued.

Nowadays, ordinary people are honest and simple, but they are not fools. No one would buy the expensive one instead of the cheap one for the same thing.

Another reason is the historical background. Except for pork, other chickens and ducks are bought by each family and slaughtered by themselves. If they have to spend more money to buy slaughtered chickens, they would rather choose to do it themselves.

"If that's the case, this path doesn't seem to work."

"Yes, ordinary people will not spend more money to buy a chicken breast just to avoid chicken feet."

"That's right, unless you can get it at the same price."

"That's even more impossible. Didn't you listen to Zimo's analysis just now? With one more process, the price will only be higher, not to mention that we're only buying the meatier parts."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

By the end they realized they were talking in circles, so they all looked at Gu Yin who was leisurely eating hot meat.

Gu Yin calmly put down her chopsticks and chuckled, "You are all right, but have you ever thought about solving the problem from the source?"

"source?"

"Buy it from the countryside at a lower price?"

"That won't work. It's not easy for farmers to raise chickens. They won't be willing to lower the price."

"Stop!" Gu Yin suddenly interrupted, "Jingwen, repeat what you just said."

Jiang Jingwen was stunned: "It's impossible that you are willing to lower the price?"

"last sentence."

“Is it difficult to raise chickens on the farm?”

Gu Yin clapped her hands: "Yes, that's it. The root of the problem lies here."

"You can raise chickens, too?" Zhang Letian opened his mouth in surprise.

However, Gu Yin glanced at him and teased, "Your family sells pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones. Can you make them?"

Zhang Letian was stunned by what he said, but he quickly reacted: "This, this is different..."

"What's the difference?" Gu Yin teased him deliberately.

Zhang Letian couldn't explain it for a long time. Jiang Jingwen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, patted Zhang Letian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are stupid, the things in your store are all wholesale. Raising chickens is at least raising them at home, how can they be the same?"

To put it bluntly, one is a middleman and the other is a manufacturer, so they are naturally different.

Gu Yin laughed and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I really don't know how to raise chickens, but I do know a little bit about the theory. Since ancient times, experts have emerged from the common people. If you really decide to raise chickens, you can ask around in various villages to find out where there are fellow villagers who are good at raising chickens. By learning from their experiences, you will always be able to find a way to raise chickens quickly and at a low cost."

Nowadays, the poultry raised by ordinary people are basically free-range, and due to food shortage, the way they are fed is definitely not very good.

If a farm is opened for centralized breeding, one can start with feed, disease prevention, temperature, light and so on. However, Gu Yin only has a rough idea about these. If one really wants to raise poultry well, everything needs to be constantly explored in the actual breeding process.

While everyone was discussing farming techniques, the waiter started serving a new round of dishes. Gu Yin quickly changed the subject: "It's not so easy to make breakthroughs in large-scale farming techniques in a short period of time. Let's eat the dishes first and talk about something else."

Grain production has not yet increased, people still have not had enough to eat, and consumption will not increase in the short term. Even if grain is raised, no one will buy it, and it will not be successful.

However, what Gu Yin didn't know was that someone at the table had heard about this...

"Wow, why are there so many dishes?" everyone exclaimed.

Gu Yin patted his chest proudly: "I finally invited you to dinner, how can I not enjoy it!"

"It seems there are new dishes?" Jiang Nuan said as she took a look at the new dishes served.

"Cows, sheep, cows, sheep. We just ate beef, so we have to try mutton..." Gu Yin said with a smile.

Su Ziyin pointed at a pile of intestine-shaped objects and asked weakly, "What is this...?"

"Duck intestines!" Gu Yin answered excitedly, "It goes perfectly with the spicy beef hotpot. Come, I'll cook some for everyone to try."

In just a dozen seconds, Gu Yin cooked the duck intestines and distributed them to everyone, saying expectantly, "Try it and see if it tastes good."

Jun Lan glanced at the pieces of duck intestines in the bowl, frowned slightly, glanced at Gu Yin, and found that she was still urging others to try it.

So he quickly put the duck intestines into his mouth and planned to swallow them directly.

Who knows, I chewed it accidentally, and it was crunchy. I stopped the movement in my mouth for a while, and continued to chew it a few more times. There was no fishy smell, and the taste was crispy and spicy, not bad...

Jun Lan then slowly chewed and tasted it...

The performance of the others was similar to Jun Lan's, and they were all conquered by a small dish of duck intestines in the end.

"I didn't expect duck intestines to be so delicious. I think they taste better than beef." Zhang Letian said exaggeratedly.

Su Zimo's expression relaxed, and he commented calmly: "Each has its merits."

After the meal, everyone had a full stomach.

Gu Chenshuo stood by the window and looked at the people walking on the street. After a while, he asked in confusion, "It seems that there are many more outsiders in the county town today?"

Su Zimo stepped forward to take a look and agreed, "Indeed. I think he came here for the lanterns in the county town."

The big lanterns in the county town yesterday made the people of Ning County enjoy the excitement. They will surely spread the news when they return home, and people from neighboring towns who live closer will definitely come to join in the fun.

"It would be good to have more people come, so that the business of the shops in the county town can be better." Gu Yin was very happy. Finally, her efforts were not in vain.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, everyone was about to go home.

Gu Chenshuo suddenly pointed at two figures on the street and asked in confusion: "Those two... aren't they Master Wei and Miss Song? Are they back?"

"Where?" Gu Yin rushed to the window excitedly, looking around.

"Those two, not far away, are wearing red skirts and green cloaks." Gu Chenshuo pointed out the direction to Gu Yin.

Gu Yin's eyes lit up: "It's really them! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

"Ruorou..." Gu Yin shouted directly to the street, and her voice could be heard from far away...

Everyone on the street and in the box was stunned...
