The next day.

After going out to eat a bowl of raw ingredients and cooking powder, Liu Xiahui went straight to Dongcheng Market.

The twelve chickens left by the old man yesterday have been sold out. Today he can only get the market to "purchase"!

There are two relatively large markets in Baizhou County, one is the Dongcheng Market in the prosperous area, and the other is the relatively remote Nancheng Market.

Ten years later, with the shift of the focus of the county's development, the development of the Nancheng market gradually surpassed the Dongcheng market and became the most prosperous vegetable market in the county.

Of course, the leader of the vegetable market is still Dongcheng Market.

Compared with those big cities, Baizhou County is naturally an inconspicuous small county town.

But in fact, this small county is not small at all. Even among the more than 1,600 counties in the country, Baizhou County can reach the top three in population rankings, which is a veritable large-capital county.

As the most prosperous vegetable market in the county, Dongcheng Market naturally has more than three or two chicken dealers, but more than a dozen.

Liu Xiahui looked at it from beginning to end and found that among the dozen chicken stalls, 80% sold feed chickens, and the remaining 20% ​​were sold with local chicken brands, but in fact they were sold some fake local chickens.

The classification of chickens is actually very complex. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three categories, namely pheasant, native chicken, and feed chicken.

Pheasant belongs to wild game, and for some well-known reasons, Liu Xiahui will not touch it in this life, so I will skip it and not mention it.

Local chickens, also known as grass chickens, firewood chickens, and stupid chickens, refer to domesticated in ancient times, never undergoing any hybridization and optimization breeding, and have long been natural foraging or combined with rough feeding, and have strong wild foraging and survival ability. They have the characteristics of resistance to rough feeding, strong nesting and strong disease resistance, and the meat is delicious.

Feed chickens are different from broilers, also known as "cage-raising chickens" and "shelf-raising chickens".

It refers to broilers raised in a certain scale of breeding farms. They are intensively raised, with small activity space and no sunlight. The feathers of a batch of feed chickens are the same, and the feet are mostly yellow.

The food eaten by the feed chicken is very fixed, all of which are mixed with feed, and the growth cycle is only two months or less, so the meat accumulates less nutrients and the meat fiber is short.

In Liuxiahui's hometown, native chickens are generally called domestic chickens and feed chickens are called breeding chickens.

In fact, although the meat quality of chickens is related to the variety of chickens, the most important thing is the acquired breeding method.

For example, feed chickens, if you use them as local chickens when they are young, and you will release them to feed them on their own except for feeding some rice every day. After raising them for a year or two, is this feed chicken still considered a feed chicken?

For example, if you use native chickens as feed chickens when they are young, keep them in cages all day long and feed them with prepared feed, is this still considered native chickens?

Therefore, the meat quality of chickens is closely related to the acquired breeding method. Even if the same breed is raised in different breeding methods, the final meat quality is also very different.

The reason why there is a saying that pseudo-native chickens is determined based on this breeding method.

If he read correctly the local chicken stalls that Liu Xiahui saw, these so-called local chickens are actually feed chickens, but in terms of breeding methods, there is a big difference between those feed chickens that emphasize quick success.

Not to mention anything else, at least the breeding time should be more than five months. This can be seen from the cockscomb and chicken feet.

In terms of meat quality, it is more than the best. It is located between native chickens and feed chickens and sold as local chickens. Whether it is a person who understands chickens or does not understand chickens, they will not be too serious.

After all, it is unlikely to buy authentic rural chickens on the market even in 2000.

Of course, if you are in a township, there is no problem. Now, the chickens used in the small restaurant in Liuxiahui’s hometown are basically authentic rural chickens.

In the countryside today, it is too easy to buy those rural native chickens with delicious meat. It is not like twenty years later, even if you return to your hometown in the countryside, it is very difficult to buy authentic rural native chickens.

...

Feed chicken 4.3 yuan to 4.5 yuan/jin.

Local chickens cost 6.5 yuan to 6.8 yuan per kilogram.

This is the approximate price of more than a dozen chicken stalls in Dongcheng Market.

In order to ensure the taste of the white-cut chicken, Liu Xiahui definitely wouldn't choose the feed chicken that can be quickly produced in one or two months. It is unrealistic to go to the countryside to buy local chickens, so she could only look at those fake local chicken stalls.

Although this fake native chicken is not as good as the authentic rural native chicken, its meat quality is still higher than that of those quick-form feed chickens. In Liu Xiahui's opinion, it should be comparable to the twelve chickens raised by the old man.

Therefore, after seeing it correctly, Liu Xiahui chose one of the fake chicken stalls that looked old (dialect, meaning that it took a long time to keep).

"Boss, can you still be cheaper?"

"Brother Housheng, I'm sorry, my price is really cheap. If it's cheaper, I won't make any profit!"

"Boss, I bought more than one, but more than a dozen. Can't the price be cheaper?"

"You want more than a dozen, then you'll be given six yuan and sixty pounds!"

"Boss, you only have one cent or one pound less. Isn't this too sincere?"

"Brother Housheng, I am a native chicken, which is different from those feed chickens. The purchase price is expensive. My small business originally had not made much money. If it was less, it would be in vain!"

"Boss, don't bully me when I'm young. You know whether this is a native chicken. I won't tell you much. You can do it if you want to pay attention to the price! Anyway, I want more than a dozen chickens every day. If the price is right, I will cooperate with you for a long time. If the price is not right, then I will go to another family!"

"Little brother, are you saying this? You need more than a dozen chickens every day?"

"Of course it's true. You only have one chance to bid. I hope you think it through!"

The owner of the chicken stall changed slightly when he heard this. He pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "Six yuan three, little brother, this is the lowest price!"

Liu Xiahui took out the bargaining methods of a platform anchor and e-commerce in later generations, and continued to bargain: "Liujiu, boss, I am a stable big customer. Although I made a little less profit per catty, I still make a small profit but quick turnover. In general, it is still very cost-effective!

Moreover, I am not afraid to tell you that the number of more than a dozen is just the initial number every day. If we cooperate happily, the number I need may continue to increase in the next period of time!"

The owner of the chicken stall vomited blood and said, "Brother, you are so ruthless in this price. I have just reduced it to the lowest price for you. If you reduce it by three cents, let alone make money, I will lose money!"

Liu Xiahui issued an ultimatum and said toughly: "Boss, don't fool me. In one sentence, can you? If it's OK, catch the chicken immediately. If it doesn't, I will turn my head and leave!"

The chicken stall owner said anxiously: "Little brother, I really... 6 yuan two for this price, this is me... Oh, little brother, don't leave now, come back soon, I'll give you 6 yuan one for you... This is me... Okay, you won!!"

...

Three minutes later, the chicken stall owner smiled bitterly and said, "Little brother, you are so awesome. The price-killing is too ruthless, so I can't make a fortune!"

Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "Boss, judging by what you said, who would do a loss-making business? Although the profits of each chicken have dropped now, they have small profits but quick turnovers. Overall, you must have made a lot of money. Let's make a fortune together!"

The chicken stall owner gave a thumbs up and praised: "I admire you, little brother, you have a bright future!"

Liu Xiahui laughed and said, "It's too much, you should help deliver goods here, right?"

The owner of the chicken stall said: "Help deliver goods. As long as it is within the county town, I will help deliver goods. If I leave the county town, then I can't do anything!"

Liu Xiahui shook her head and said, "I haven't left the county town, I'm just in Gou'er Lane!"

The chicken stall owner nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem!"

Next, Liu Xiahui started to select chickens, and picked a total of ten, weighing 53.6 kilograms. It is calculated as 6 yuan per kilogram, which is 321.6 yuan.

After all, he asked the other party to wipe off the fraction of the back, which cost only 320 yuan.

"Little brother, just like you, it's hard not to get rich in business!"

"Haha, Youcai will come together. Boss, please help me send these ten chickens back first. I will come here to pick up a few more in the afternoon!"

"Okay, no problem!"

In fact, when choosing chickens, Liu Xiahui wanted to choose fifteen, not ten.
Chapter completed!
