"Ahem~! This..."
Han Tianhu's face turned red and he coughed dryly: "Xiao Xuan, feel free to eat. The most indispensable thing in Zhuangzi now is eggs. That guy Tiedan has been eating a lot of eggs recently!"
Li Zexuan was startled, then suddenly said: "Father-in-law, are the previous batch of chickens in the village growing up and starting to lay eggs?"
Generally speaking, it only takes about three to seven months for hens to lay eggs from hatching to adulthood. Counting the days, those more than 100,000 chickens should have started laying eggs by now.
"Yeah~! They started laying eggs a month ago, and now every household can collect hundreds of eggs every day."
Han Tianhu nodded.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said strangely: "Then this is a good thing! Farmers can sell all their eggs in Chang'an City, which can subsidize a lot of household income!"
Generating income for his bank account has always been what Li Zexuan wanted to do.
Hu Hanyun interjected: "Master, you don't know. Eggs were quite easy to sell before, and at their most expensive, they could be sold for six cents each. But now they can't be sold for even two cents each. Everyone in the village is worried." It was sold for five cents, but there are still many unsold! Seeing this thing broken, everyone feels sad! I couldn't bear to eat it before, but now I can only eat it as a vegetable!"
In this era, eggs are money to ordinary farmers. They sell them in the market, but now in the situation in Hanjiazhuang, they have to eat even if they don't want to eat!
Because eggs are stored for too long, bacteria will invade the eggshells and cause deterioration, such as sticky shells and yellowing. Eggs stored at a temperature higher than 25 degrees are more likely to be damaged. In summer, they can generally be stored at room temperature. It can be stored for seven to ten days, and can be stored for thirty days at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. There are no refrigerators in this era, so the eggs on Zhuangzi can usually only be stored for about seven days, and they will go bad any longer.
"The price has dropped so much~?"
Li Zexuan opened his mouth in surprise. He had so many things to do all day long that he definitely didn't have time to understand these little things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Therefore, he had no idea about the huge changes in egg prices in the past few months.
"Yes! Not only our village, but also the Plum Village next door is like this!"
Han Tianhu sighed.
"Hey~! Let's do it! Father-in-law, you can send a batch of eggs to the academy first. Anyway, the canteen over there consumes a lot of eggs every day. If you buy other people's eggs, you will buy them, and if you buy our own, we will also buy them. When the time comes, the canteen will I’ll buy it from you at two cents each!”
Li Zexuan thought of an emergency plan and said.
"How can it be done? Now the eggs in Chang'an City are sold for one and a half cents. Doesn't this mean that you, Xiaoxuan, will suffer a loss?"
Han Tianhu said anxiously, he knew that his son-in-law was rich, but he couldn't spend it recklessly!
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "No loss, no loss, the college canteen is not free, so why lose it? It's just that the college currently only has more than 600 students, and it can only consume more than a thousand eggs every day!"
Hu Hanyun said with a smile: "Master, it's pretty good to be able to sell more than a thousand more every day. We will figure out the rest ourselves. We can't let you worry about everything in person, right?"
Li Zexuan pursed his lips and said nothing. He understood that the dealers could not think of any good solutions. After all, the vision was there. After thinking for a long time, Li Zexuan suddenly smiled excitedly:
"Haha~! I have an idea! In this way, I will send someone to ask Steward Wang to arrange the purchase of eggs today. All the eggs in Zhuangzi can be sold to Steward Wang every day for two cents each. It is purely voluntary for everyone who is willing to sell Just sell it~!”
Han Tianhu was shocked and said: "Xiaoxuan, this is not possible! Where can you sell so many eggs at once? All the markets around Chang'an City are overrun with eggs. If you buy so many eggs, they will all rot in the end. In hand!"
"Yes, young master! You have taken care of the villagers enough. I must not make you lose money again! Don't say that I, Lao Hu, don't agree. The whole village would rather have all the eggs in the house spoiled. Promised~!”
Hu Hanyun also echoed at this moment.
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "Haha, father-in-law, Uncle Hu, you may have misunderstood me. I never said that I would lose money to help farmers! You all thought that I would lose money when I bought the fruit. As a result, I made a lot of money from the sales of Wenrou Township!
It's the same now! Since I dare to buy so many eggs, I must have a better way to preserve them, and I will definitely make a profit without losing anything by then~! "
Hu Hanyun said with some suspicion: "Young master, what you said is serious~! I, Old Hu, have traveled all over the country, and I am quite knowledgeable. Why have I never heard of such a magical method~?"
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you don't have it. Uncle Hu, don't worry. You also know that I never do anything I'm not sure about! It's just that I will make a lot of money from these eggs. Folks, don't say anything about me." Li Zexuan just deliberately lowered the price of eggs to make dirty money!"
Hu Hanyun stared and said loudly: "Who dares to~? The chickens in our village are all given to us for free by Master. These eggs are originally extra wealth. If you can sell them for money, thank God. Come on, Master, it’s your own ability to make money from eggs. If you don’t buy them, everyone’s eggs won’t be sold and you won’t get a penny! Whoever will be ungrateful and jealous instead will be the first to go. Fight him to the death and see if his heart is evil!"
Han Tianhu also stroked his beard and said: "Old Hu is right, Xiaoxuan, if you really have a way to preserve eggs, it is your own ability. You make money by your own ability, and no one can say anything! Besides, there is definitely no way in our village. There are people who are so arrogant and indifferent to right from wrong~!"
In fact, Li Zexuan mentioned this mainly because he had seen too many similar news in his previous life. For example, someone helped find a good market for the agricultural products in the village, and the price was higher than the price at the nearby farmer's market, and then This man made a lot of money and built a big house in the village. As a result, many villagers said that this man was unkind and deliberately lowered the price during the purchase to make shady money! These people completely forgot about the extra income their families received because of this person.
"Well, that's okay! Butler Wang will be here tomorrow. Father-in-law, please inform the people in our village and the people in the nearby Plum Village in advance!"
Hearing what Lao Hu said, Li Zexuan also felt that he had thought too much. After all, bankers at this time were still very simple.
"Okay! In the afternoon, I will go door to door and tell them to prepare eggs tomorrow~! Come on, come on, drink and eat vegetables quickly, the vegetables are already cold!"
