"Si Lian, I'm here to thank you and Mr. Han. If Mr. Han hadn't helped me write the divorce letter, I'm afraid I would still be suffering in that home." Du Chunxia entered Han's house carrying a basket of rice cakes. Said later.
After speaking, he opened the cloth covering the basket slung in his arm. There were two rice cakes wrapped in vegetable leaves. He took out one and handed it to Yu Silian, "I brought some rice cakes I made. You and Aunt Song, I’ll bring it to you first, so you can try it.” Then he said politely, “If it doesn’t taste good, you’ll just have to order it.”
After Yu Silian took it, she thanked her and said, "Sister-in-law is just here. What else can you take? Isn't this just for outsiders?"
"It's not a good thing, let's have a taste."
"Thank you sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, sit down quickly." Yu Silian handed the rice cake in her hand to the maid.
"Si Lian, I would like to ask, are there still a shortage of ducks in the workshop? We raised some ducks a few years ago but failed to raise them, and they all died. I just wanted to raise them again when the weather gets warmer, so I came here to ask if you still want to collect them."
She had decided to raise ducks, but one winter had passed and she had not raised one. She was afraid that if she was raising ducks now, they would have already found someone to raise them, so there would be no shortage.
"Collect it, you can raise it with confidence. We will collect as much as you raise." Yu Silian gave her some reassurance.
The workshop uses a lot of ducks every day. If we don't find a suitable source of supply, we will definitely not dare to sell roast ducks like this. Otherwise, how can we meet the daily consumption just by raising a few free-range ducks in several nearby villages?
Although there is a supply now, it is still not enough every day. If she can raise the ducks, the workshop will have a stable supply, and the business of the workshop will be better in the future.
"Thank you very much, Silian. I'm going to buy some more ducklings to raise."
While the two were talking, Mo Ziwan's voice sounded outside, "Godmother, I'm here."
"Your Aunt Chunxia and I are talking in the room. Come in yourself."
"Godmother, Aunt Chunxia, what are you talking about?" Mo Ziwan asked with a smile after entering the room.
"What are you talking about?" Song Nanzhi greeted with a smile after entering the room.
"Auntie, come and sit down." Yu Silian quickly stood up and greeted her.
"Aunt Song is here." Du Chunxia also stood up and greeted her.
"Chunxia said she was going to raise ducks, and she came to ask me if there was any shortage in the workshop. I was telling her to let her raise them with confidence, and we would take as many as she raised," Yu Silian said.
Mo Ziyuan immediately said: "Aunt Chunxia raises more, and then sell them all to the godmother."
Yu Silian was amused by her words, "You only sold it to me? Didn't I also sell it to you, a little boss?"
"They are also sold to me. Aunt Chunxia raises more ducks and sells them to us, and we all make more money."
"Okay!" Du Chunxia responded with a smile on her face.
After Du Chunxia agreed, Mo Ziwan asked again: "Aunt Chunxia, are the ducklings you raised before unable to be raised without their mother duck to take care of them?"
It's really hard for me to pretend to be a child. Am I a fool?
Answer: No, I am a little fool!
This statement immediately made everyone laugh. Song Nanzhi was the first to say angrily: "Ducks are not humans, and they don't need to nurse. It doesn't matter whether they have a mother duck or not."
After Song Nanzhi laughed, his godmother Yu Silian also laughed and said, "I have never heard of Mother Duck. How did you come up with the term Mother Duck?"
Mo Ziwan blinked, "Don't the little ducks have a mother? Then who gave birth to them?"
Well!
Yu Silian was startled and then burst into cheerful laughter. Not only did she laugh, but Song Nanzhi and Du Chunxia also laughed. Yu Silian laughed and said, "There is a mother, there is a mother."
Song Nanzhi glanced at Mo Ziwan lovingly, "You are the only one with many ideas." Then he handed the bowl in his hand to Yu Silian, "This is the jelly that Wan Wan asked me to mix. You can mix it later and see how it tastes. I'll mix it." If it’s not good, I won’t mix it.”
After saying that, she turned to Du Chunxia and said, "Chunxia, I didn't know you were here, otherwise I would have brought it to you. If you have nothing to do in a while, go home with me and I will fill a bowl for you and you can try it too."
Du Chunxia said: "I will talk for a while
Go bring rice cakes to your aunt, and your aunt will be here just in time. "
"That's right, let's taste it instead." Song Nanzhi was not polite to her either.
"Then I'll have more aunts first."
"Thank you for nothing, I haven't thanked you yet!"
"Aunt Chunxia, you haven't told me why all the ducklings are dead?" Mo Ziyuan brought the topic of ducks back.
She wants to artificially hatch ducks and raise a large number of ducks. This idea came up when Du Chunxia and his wife left the workshop to raise ducks and then raised a large number of ducks through artificial hatching.
It’s just that artificial incubation requires a suitable temperature. It was too cold to hatch a few years ago. Now that the weather is getting warmer, you can also try artificial incubation. If successful, it will not only solve the demand for ducks in the workshop, but also benefit the duck feathers.
Just as her godmother thought, after the workshop was expanded, the production of roast ducks was increased, and more roast ducks could be made. However, there was another problem with the ducks collected. The supply of goods ordered before was now completely unavailable, so now the supply in the workshop There are still not enough ducks, after all, they are currently supplying three cities.
Including letting Du Chunxia and Li Yougui raise ducks years ago, they also wanted to use their husband and wife to raise ducks on a large scale, mainly to solve the problem of not enough ducks in the workshop, but they did not expect that the first attempt was not successful and all the ducks they raised died.
Fortunately, she still wants to continue raising ducks. Now that Mrs. Feng is no longer acting as a monster, she should be able to raise ducks this time. As long as she raises ducks this time and teaches her artificial hatching in the future, she will no longer have to worry about ducks. Not enough.
As for whether artificial incubation could be successful, Mo Ziyuan didn't consider it at all.
Although I have never hatched chickens and ducks artificially, I don’t have much skill in this matter. The worst thing I can do is waste a few more eggs to test the temperature. As long as the temperature is tested, I don’t have to say how many ducks I want in the future. Have the final say.
Du Chunxia also talked about raising ducks before, saying: "They were well raised when we bought them back. Later, Dagang's wife said that we had many things to do, so she came to help with the ducks.
We do have a lot of things at home and outside the house every day, and we are happy that she can help us share some of the burden. Later, Dagang Nai took care of raising ducks. They looked no different from the ducks we raised before, so we didn’t know what to do. They were all dead. I thought it might be because the ducks were too young to raise in the cold weather, and it was difficult to buy ducklings in winter. Then I thought about raising them when the weather gets warmer. "
"Now that the weather is getting warmer, I'm going to buy some ducklings to raise."
"Don't you want to buy the mother duck? But don't the little ducks follow the mother duck? Our chickens follow the mother chicken. Aunt Chunxia also bought the mother duck. If the mother duck takes the little ducks, the little ducks will definitely not Will die again."
"Wanwan, ducks are different from people. Ducklings don't need to drink milk and can survive without a mother duck!" Du Chunxia said with a smile.
"Isn't the little duck born to the mother duck? Why don't you ask the mother duck to drink milk?" Mo Ziyuan was very disgusted by what she asked!
I don’t care whether my words can withstand scrutiny or not, who cares! I am a child, and children do not speak without going through their brains.
How to answer this?
Du Chunxia was in a dilemma. She couldn't answer the difficult question raised by Wan Wan, so she turned to look at Yu Silian.
"Little ducks hatch from eggs, so they don't need to drink milk." Yu Silian took over Mo Ziwan's problem.
Mo Ziwan didn't want to embarrass them, but if she didn't embarrass them, how could she think of hatching ducks later? So she looked at Yu Silian innocently, "Godmother, how did the mother duck hatch the ducklings?"
Yu Silian was really afraid that if she kept asking like this, she would ask questions that she couldn't answer. Fortunately, she could still answer the question, "Mother duck sits on the eggs to hatch them every day."
This answer is really the same as no answer! But that's what Mo Ziyuan wanted. Her eyes widened in an instant, and an innocent sentence came out, "It's so simple! Then if I sit on the egg, can it also hatch a duckling?" "
really!
Yu Silian wished she hadn't helped Du Chunxia take over the topic, "Wanwan! Let's not talk about whether you can hatch a duckling. If you just sit down, the duck eggs will probably break to the ground.
. "
Mo Ziyuan tilted her head and thought for a while, "Yes, I am much heavier than the mother duck and cannot sit on the egg. So what should I do to hatch ducklings like the mother duck?"
"Wanwan, we are different from ducklings. It is the mother duck's job to hatch ducklings. We are humans, how can we hatch ducklings!" Yu Silian explained in a very far-fetched way.
Song Nanzhi also helped: "Yes, we are not ducks, how can we hatch them?"
Why can't it hatch? sure! Am I just trying to think of a solution?
In order to achieve artificial incubation, Mo Ziwan would not let this good topic go. In line with the principle of understanding what you don't understand, "Didn't Godmother say that it can be hatched by sitting on it? Why can't it be done by people sitting on it?" , I sit down gently, I will definitely not crush the egg."
"Mother duck has to sit for a long time. She has to sit on it every day and cannot move. It will probably take about twenty days." Yu Silian began to search for some things she knew about hatching chickens and ducks. She only wanted to hear that it would take about twenty days. I was so scared that I ended the topic.
"No, hatching eggs doesn't only take a day or two. How can you sit for so long? If you don't want to study, why should you teach your brother Dagang and the others to study?" Song Nanzhi didn't want his granddaughter to talk about hatching ducks anymore, so he took the initiative to talk about studying. Come.
"It takes so long! Then I definitely can't do it, I still have it!"
Yu Silian breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she relaxed, she heard Mo Ziwan start talking again.
"Then I'll go back later and ask Aunt Du to help me be a mother duck. Then I'll let the mother duck hatch the ducklings."
Forget it, leave her alone. If she doesn't hatch, she will know that she is no good as a duck mother!
"You kid, why do you want to hatch a duck? How can this fake duck hatch?" Yu Silian ignored it, but Song Nanzhi couldn't ignore it, otherwise she would really go back to Yulian and her mother to sew a fake duck for her to hatch the baby. Duck.
"Ducks are covered in fur and warm enough to hatch ducklings. How do you hatch fake ducks?"
Mo Ziyuan didn't want to dwell on this problem anymore, she just wanted to find a reason to experiment. Now she had a reason, "Oh, I understand, I'll think of other ways!"
Song Nanzhi didn't care about her anymore. He had the same idea as Yu Silian. Anyway, she would give up if she couldn't work it out.
"Where's the godfather?" Mo Ziwan asked again. She didn't come today to talk about hatching ducks.
"In the study room." Yu Silian replied.
"Then I'm going to find my godfather." After Mo Ziwan said that, she went to the study.
"Go! Go!" Yu Silian waved her hand hurriedly, fearing that she would ask about weird things again if she stayed here any longer.
Seeing Mo Ziyuan turn and leave, Song Nanzhi couldn't help complaining: "This kid loves to toss."
Yu Silian laughed after hearing this, "If she didn't like to toss, we wouldn't have roast duck. Thanks to her love of tossing, we have come up with so many new things, including lunch meat, roast duck, and barbecue. They are all the children's ideas. It was made by tossing."
Du Chunxia also echoed: "Wanwan is smart and can think of many ideas. Unlike me, I only know how to work in the fields, cook and wash clothes every day. I know nothing else and can't even think of anything."
Song Nanzhi was embarrassed to praise his granddaughter and only said, "She loves to think nonsense." But Yu Silian was different, but she praised her vigorously, "Wanwan has been smart since she was a child and likes to read. She has a good brain, but your family Regardless of whether Dagang is studying now, he will definitely have a great future in the future." I did not forget to mention Li Dagang.
After Mo Ziwan arrived in the study, Han Shuxian was looking at the account book. When he saw Mo Ziwan calling at the door, he greeted with a smile: "Come in."
"Godfather, what are you looking at?" Mo Ziyuan asked after entering the room.
"Look at the ledger." Han Shuxian looked at the increasing amount of money in the ledger and thought about opening the workshop to other places. "Wanwan, do you want to open the workshop to other states and counties?"
Of course Mo Ziyuan agreed. Although they were making a lot of money now, who would think it was too much money?
I thought about the feasibility of opening branches across the country. The backward transportation is not conducive to management. Moreover, there are only these few ingredients and the varieties are too single. It is difficult to maintain the workshop for a long time. For the time being, I feel
The idea of opening a branch in a distant state or county is not a good idea.
Rather than opening branches in other places now, Mo Ziyuan prefers to increase the food in the workshop. First, increase the types of food in the workshop and open the largest food processing workshop in Dafeng Dynasty.
Good, novel food will definitely attract people to buy it, just like lunch meat and roast duck can sell well.
The main thing now is to develop food that can be stored for a longer period of time. Then there will be no need to worry about the food spoiling due to long transportation. It will not be a problem to find an agent to sell it, or open a store to sell it yourself.
In this way, you will not make less money, and your goods can be sold all over the country.
Another advantage of finding agents is that after they have done a good job in the market, they can then attract agents to invest in the company and open local branches.
"I think about it, but I don't want my godfather to go anywhere else."
"This is not possible. I will definitely stay out for a while in the early stage. I will come back when the branch is on the road." Seeing Mo Ziwan's dependence on him, Han Shuxian's heart softened.
"Daddy, I have an idea. We can make more money without having to build a workshop elsewhere."
"Then tell me!"
"We can make many kinds of food and find someone to help me sell them after we make them!"
I originally wanted to recruit agents, but I had to explain my words, and then continued: "Just like roast duck, roast rabbit and luncheon meat now, we just make them and leave the sales to Uncle Murong. For them, we are responsible for making it, and they are responsible for selling it.”
"But you can't keep the roast duck for too long. The time on the road is too long, and you can't eat it again when you get to the restaurant." Han Shuxian pointed out the problem.
