Each process was done by a different person, with a clear division of labor. This way, they could ensure that the products were clean and hygienic.
These chickens had been fed well for more than half a year and were already very fat. After shedding their fur, they were all white and chubby, waiting to be pickled.
Jian Qingqing observed for a while and left when she saw that they had already started.
When she went out, she found that the fields outside had all been planted with high-yield grain without her realizing it. She had been too busy for more than a month, and had actually not noticed it.
Looking at the vibrant crops in the fields, her mood inexplicably became better.
This batch of cured meat chickens was all used by roosters, and the hens had to be kept for laying eggs and hatching chicks.
After all the roosters were transported out, the chicken farm hatched more than 1,000 new chicks. This was still far from enough. Jian Qingqing planned to expand the scale of the chicken farm to raise more than 10,000. Now, there were enough fodder, corn, sweet potatoes, and vines, they could all be used to feed the chickens.
There were also earthworms. Now, Xiao Hu had developed an interest in studying earthworms. He did not go to play after school every day. He did not go to the warehouse where he kept earthworms. He went to see his earthworms every day, now, he had raised more than a hundred cartons, and the speed of the chickens being eaten was not enough to keep up with his raising speed.
This time, she wanted to find eggs to breed chickens. She also wanted to buy ready-made chickens, but it was much cheaper to grow eggs than chickens. She had not earned money since she started this chicken farm. She had been putting money into it, she really did not want to spend so much money anymore. To her, who was diligent and thrifty, anything that could be done without spending money was the best.
The last time she bought chickens, Ming Zhiyan would help her buy them. But during this time, Ming Zhiyan had been busy growing high-yielding grains, so Jian Qingqing did not want to trouble him anymore. She planned to look for them herself.
Many landowners had their own farms. Jian Qingqing first went to look for Zhu Jiazhi, the largest landowner in Shifeng County.
Standing outside the golden gate, Jian Qingqing looked at the sign of the wealthy ‘Zhu residence’ on the door and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a servant came out.
He glanced at Jian Qingqing and used his eyes to size her up. After seeing that the clothes she was wearing were not cheap, he put on a smile and asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Jian Qingqing did not like his gaze, but she decided to communicate with his master first. She suppressed the emotions in her eyes and asked calmly, “I am Jian Qingqing from the Jian Family Village. I have something to talk to your Master about.’
Hearing Jian Qingqing’s identity, the smile on the servant’s face became even brighter. Jian Qingqing’s name was now well-known in Shifeng County. There were many people who were curious about her, but she rarely appeared in public. Therefore, not many people recognized her.
The servant attentively said, “Please wait for a moment, I will reply to Master right away!”
Jian Qingqing grunted in acknowledgment.
The servant immediately ran in. On the way, he met the butler. Butler Zhang berated, “What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry? What if you offend a noble?!”
The servant quickly said, “I know I’m wrong. It’s just that Butler Zhang, there’s a woman outside who claims to be Jian Qingqing. I was just about to tell Master!”
“Jian Qingqing? What is she doing here?”
“She didn’t say. She just said that she had something to tell Master.”
Butler Zhang pondered for a moment and said, “You can leave first. I’ll tell
Master about this.”
“Yes!”
