BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236 - 236 Mixed Feed
“Then do you still want to go to other inns to sell them? Or do you want to just sell them here?”
“This…” Mother Jian was a little doubtful. “I still have to go back and ask Qingqing. She said that they can only sell them in the inns. When the customers ask, she will say that my family’s dessert shop specializes in selling these things. When the time comes, I won’t have to worry about the customers. I still don’t know how Qingqing wants to sell them. My idea is to just sell them here. Both of us can make money, but I still have to ask Big Sister.”
Mother Liu nodded. “This matter should be discussed properly. There’s no rush now. Come and tell me when you’ve thought it through.”
“Eh, okay.”
…
In the afternoon, Mother Jian asked about the remaining few shops. After memorizing the situation of each shop, she went back.
Jian Qingqing was at home preparing feed for the chickens. Her family had 30 to 40 chickens, which was perfect for an experiment.
She had five kinds of feed. One was 50 percent rice mixed with rice chaff and grass that the chickens could eat. The rice was mainly cooked with aged rice chaff, if the grass grew more, the sweet potato leaves could be used instead.
The second was also 50 percent rice, and then the ratio of rice chaff to green vegetables was changed.
The remaining three were to increase the ratio of rice chaff to 60 percent and 65 percent. If the rice chaff was more, the ratio of rice chaff would be larger, and the green vegetables would be less.
The chickens were divided into five groups on average and observed how each group ate.
As a result, Jian Qingqing found that the chicks who mixed 70% of the rice with the feed ate the fastest and cleanest, and the chicks who mixed 60% of the rice with 20% of the rice with 20% of the rice with 20% of the grass were ranked second.
This was to be expected. The chicks did not like eating rice crumbs. If the ratio of rice crumbs was larger, they would eat much slower. However, it was impossible for them to not put any rice crumbs, so they could only increase the ratio of grass. She planned to try the other ratios tomorrow.
At this moment, she saw Mother Jian return with a smile and asked, “How is the condition today?”
Mother Jian smiled and said, “It’s almost done. I went to look for your Aunt Liu today. She introduced me to a few shops. I’ve gone to see them all.”
Then, she told her about the situation of those shops. Finally, she asked, “Big sister, which shop do you think is better?”
Jian Qingqing asked her back, “Mother, what do you think? Which one is better?”
Mother Jian hesitated for a moment, she said, “I prefer the carpenter’s shop. I told your Aunt Liu to put some of the desserts for her to sell first. When the customers come out from her house, they can go to our house to buy them. It’s more convenient. Moreover, that shop is the largest. I plan to set up a few tables inside. If there are customers who want to stay there to eat, they can also sit there. However… that shop is also the most expensive.”
Jian Qingqing nodded. she smiled and said, “Mother, it’s up to you. This shop is yours, so let’s do it your way. If you don’t have enough money, just come to me to get it. But since you said that the shop is big enough, I suggest that you make a small box like mine. After all, those who can afford desserts are all from big families. They may not like to eat outside in public. Desserts are mainly for the ladies and children, so you can decorate the box better. The ladies and children will also eat more happily.”
Mother Jian listened carefully, nodded, and said, “Then I buy that carpenter’ shop?”
