As soon as Bai Yunxi stepped into the yard, the young man had already called his parents out.
"New Year's Eve, the guests are here, go and get some tea."
While they were talking, a middle-aged couple walked out of the main room and looked at Baiyun River with smiles.
"Some people came over a few days ago to inquire about ducklings, but it's not yet the season for ducklings to be hatched. We have to wait until spring before ducklings are available for sale."
Baiyunxi nodded,
"I know this. I asked a friend to come over and inquire about it a while ago. I happened to be on my way today and found the address. Because I need a large quantity, I still want to confirm it first."
The Zhao family couple looked at each other after listening to Bai Yunxi's tone.
"I see, please come sit down in the room and let's talk while drinking tea."
Bai Yunxi and Xiaosi followed them into the house. They looked at the big Kang that stretched to the bottom on both sides and took a curious look. Madam Zhao looked at the two people's eyes and asked them to sit down with a smile.
"This is the fire bed where ducklings are hatched. It's a little messy and makes the older girl laugh."
After that, she directly closed the curtains on both sides, blocking the view of the two of them. Bai Yunxi didn't care, since she wasn't planning to steal her skills anyway.
Until Danian came in with tea, Mrs. Zhao stood up and placed a bowl of tea in front of Baiyunxi.
"This kid, it takes so long to hold a cup of tea."
Then he introduced to Bai Yunxi, "This is my son's first year. He is eighteen years old and he is usually busy in the workshop."
"She looks like a good, hard-working and sensible child." Bai Yunxi said politely, picked up the tea and took a sip. It was the same old coarse tea she usually bought.
"Oh, I don't deserve your praise, I'm just an ordinary kid."
When her son was praised, Mrs. Zhao's wife smiled brightly.
"I wonder how many ducklings this big girl wants?"
Since it took all the effort to come here, Baiyun Xi didn’t hide it.
"Our family wants to raise a group of ducks, so the number will naturally be larger than that of ordinary families. We will start with a thousand ducks."
Upon hearing this amount, the Zhao family looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
"So, I just wanted to come over today and ask if I should make a reservation in advance? In addition, there is also the price. I also want to know about it. After all, we need a large quantity, so I would like to ask you two for your convenience.
It can be somewhat cheaper.”
As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, the Zhao family calmed down, covered up the light in their eyes, and sat upright.
"Of course, the larger the quantity, the better. No matter how much it is, it will always be cheaper."
Mrs. Zhao said, her eyes filled with joy, and she warmly invited Baiyunxi to drink tea.
"Of course, older girls also know that the price of duck eggs is not cheap. They are always three cents per egg on the market. We buy a lot of duck hatchlings and collect duck eggs all year round. We also spend a lot of money, and some of the consumption is taken into account.
, it’s not cheap at all.”
"So we only pay seven cents for each duckling, which is already very cheap. If you want more, we have to give you some face. How about this, if you buy a thousand ducklings at a time, how about we give you fifty more?"
"
Listening to the tone of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Bai Yunxi curled her lips. She still knew a little about the market conditions.
A newborn chicken costs four cents, and a slightly older chicken costs five cents. But not many people raise ducks, so the price is a little higher. She can understand it, but seven cents is a bit too high.
"Your price is a bit high. I want you to give me two cents less."
Listening to Baiyunxi's repayment price, if it was reduced by two cents, wouldn't there be only five cents left for each one? The eldest lady of the Zhao family almost jumped up, but fortunately, she was held down by the head of Zhao next to her.
Feeling that her reaction was a bit big, Mrs. Zhao's face turned red and she looked at Baiyun Xi and smiled.
"Young lady, you don't know. We worked so hard and earned only the profit of one hundred and eighty cents. It's really not much more than that. Besides, the price of duck eggs is already higher. It's tens of millions to drop two cents at once."
It won’t work.”
"In other words, if you raise a duck, it costs at least four or five kilograms. If you sell it, you can make a profit of one hundred and eighty yuan. Just one duck will make back the cost. No matter how you calculate it, you will make a profit."
"To be honest, you make more money raising ducks than we do hatching ducklings."
Listening to the calculations that Mrs. Zhao made for herself, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle. She was indeed a business person. When she said this, she almost thought that the duck she bought could grow up by drinking the northwest wind?
"What you said is correct, but from ducklings to adults, there is a lot of wear and tear. In addition, we also need to feed a lot of food, which is the cost of raising ducks. How can I ask my sister-in-law to tell me this?
So simple?"
"If you buy a few, you can raise a few. Let alone seven cents, even if it costs ten cents, I won't negotiate the price with you. It's not because ducklings are difficult to raise and the losses are immeasurable. The survival rate of ducklings
How many percent, my sister-in-law should know better than me."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Mrs. Zhao's face turned red and she looked a little unnatural.
"Whether it is a chicken or a duck, there will be some wear and tear, but as long as you take care of it carefully, the wear and tear can be minimized. Big girls also know that ducks like to be in groups. Trampling on each other is inevitable. This
Just go back and pay more attention."
"Spring is warm and then cold, no matter how careful you are, losses are inevitable."
Baiyunxi still knows this. Whether it is ducklings or chickens and geese, when they are young, they are particularly afraid of being frightened and trampled, as well as sudden changes in the weather.
These adverse factors will affect the survival rate of ducklings.
When she once visited a duck nursery factory, a technician once said that ducks and chickens are the most easily frightened. Even if a mouse runs past them, several of them will be killed.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi looked at the Zhao family and said directly,
"I won't say much else. I also know that it is not easy for everyone. You will suffer losses and risks when hatching ducklings. The same goes for us."
"So, I won't pay you more for the price. Each one costs six cents. I want a thousand pieces first, and you will give me an additional fifty pieces for loss. If possible, I will pay you a deposit immediately."
Madam Zhao stood up suddenly after hearing Bai Yunxi's tone.
"What? You're giving away fifty pieces of loss? That's not the case..."
Before she finished speaking, her arm was pulled by her man. When she came to her senses, she realized that the mother and son opposite her were looking at her in surprise. Knowing that she had overreacted again, she smiled.
"Ahem~, big sister, you are so good at bargaining. Our family can't make so much. You have returned our capital all of a sudden. We have worked hard for a month, how can we not make a little money?"
"There is always profit, but it's just a little less than before."
