Chapter 757 Teaching Someone To Fish
Qiao Mei kept observing and finally realized that it was because the chickens and ducks had eaten plants that she had catalyzed with energy. This was the reason why they could understand what she said and knew how to follow her instructions.
It would not be so effective if they ate ordinary things from the mountain. It seemed that this jade stone could only be used to exchange energy with plants at the moment.
Recently, Qiao Mei did not have much to do. She had been thinking about how to earn money and how to do it more easily.
In her other life, she had eaten a type of chicken that only ate medicinal herbs and could be sold for an astronomical price. It was said that eating this chicken could let one achieve a nourishing effect and that it had more nutritional value than ordinary chickens.
If she could let these chickens and ducks eat the plants that she had catalyzed and to set the daily timings for them to wake up, go for walks and eat medicinal herbs, then she would be able to replicate that business model.
It was a pity that she could not earn any money from this idea yet and would only stand to lose a lot of money.
What she needed to think about now was how to let Li Gui have a stable income as quickly as possible so that her family did not have to suffer or worry about food and clothing. She also had to think about how to solve the children's needs for school fees and medical treatment.
It was not that difficult to change the lives of the children, but it would still take them around 10 years to learn enough knowledge and go to university. In these 10 years, the difficulties that they needed to face could easily overwhelm them and cause them to give up.
Although she could sponsor the children, it was still not a long-term solution. She might become a military spouse in the future, and then she would not be able to watch over them all the time.
She had to find a practical solution now.
Qiao Mei felt that working with the supply and marketing cooperative was the most cost-effective plan at the moment. As long as there was a harvest, there would be money.
When the village had more money, they could build it up properly so that they could attract tourists in the future. This village was surrounded by mountains and there were many beautiful sceneries up on the mountains. Not only were there hot springs, but there were also waterfalls in the distance!
By that time, she would get Li Gui to operate a farmstay in the village for the tourists. It was just that it was not possible at the moment yet. That was something that would happen in the next 20 to 30 years. If she mentioned it now, everyone would just think that she was a lunatic.
"Sigh… It's so difficult… This is too difficult…" Qiao Mei sat back on the rocking chair and sighed.
"Is there anything that my granddaughter finds difficult? Tell me about it and see if I can help you solve your issues." Qiao Qiang slowly headed to Qiao Mei's side with his walking stick and sat down.
Qiao Mei had found a block of wood and made this walking stick so that Qiao Qiang could walk steadily and reduce the risk of him falling. He would not have to worry about falling down when walking on the mountain road and it could also be used as a self-defense weapon.
"Grandfather, will you believe me when I say that if our chickens grow up eating ginseng every day, they can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars each?" Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Qiao Qiang expectantly.
Qiao Qiang laughed out loud to hear what Qiao Mei said. Could a chicken eat ginseng?
If the animals at home could eat so well, then what would the humans eat? Eat the chickens that Qiao Mei said grew up eating ginseng? He had never heard of such a thing!
"Mei Mei, are you awake yet? Putting aside how much this chicken is worth, it's hard to say if this chicken will die if it eats ginseng. If one eats too much ginseng, one will get heaty and even bleed from all seven orifices. If you let such a small chicken eat ginseng, can it still stay alive?" Qiao Qiang asked.
Qiao Mei had indeed never thought about this. In her other life, she had only come into contact with chickens that ate cheap herbs, but she had never encountered chickens that grew up eating ginseng.
Now that she thought about it, what she just said was indeed funny. If the chicken could not be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, it was not worth the effort to raise it.
"But… but there might be a buyer in the capital," Qiao Qiang said meaningfully.
Qiao Mei widened her eyes and asked curiously, "Grandfather, you know someone! Who is it? I'll raise one and sell it to him! 5,000 dollars will do!"
"Hahahaha! You've fallen into the money trap! I'm not talking about someone I know, but someone you know," Qiao Qiang said with a laugh.
Someone she knew… from the capital… and who would spend a lot of money on chickens that ate ginseng…
"How is that possible? I only know people from the Xia family. Who would be a fool to spend so much money to buy…" Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Mei suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a fool and quickly went into the house to call him.
After three rings, the call was picked up.
