Chicks poured out of the trading bay like a spring! Da Feng Novel Network
They were all tiny yellow chicks, unable to even fly. Their beaks and wingtips had been trimmed, clearly indicating they had been processed.
The base was instantly filled with the thin, high-pitched chirps of the chicks.
Jiang Ye roughly opened the sacks and scooped the chicks into them handful by handful, quickly emptying them.
Carrying the sacks, he headed to the chicken coop.
He cupped the chicks in his hands and placed them into the coop.
The chicks were so small that even after all of them were placed inside, there was still plenty of space left.
As they grew, the space would become increasingly cramped, and Jiang Ye would have to sell at least a hundred of them.
The chicks were all settled.
Jiang Ye returned to the base and opened the Livestock Assistant, purchasing chick solution.
One barrel of solution weighed twenty kilograms and cost 200 yuan.
Jiang Ye bought a total of three barrels.
The main ingredients of the chick solution were water, along with some nutrients and antibacterial agents. It helped the chicks drink and gain initial immunity.
If they didn't drink this chick solution, a large number of chicks would die within a few days.
Jiang Ye carried the barrels to the chicken coop.
He poured the solution into the troughs in front of the chicks.
The chick solution was pale green, like bamboo water.
The chicks eagerly stretched out their heads and began to drink from the water.
Jiang Ye was satisfied; on the first day, it was enough for these chicks to just drink this.
Just as he was about to leave the chicken coop, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze was fixed on the feed troughs for the hens.
Despite having just poured a large amount of feed, they had already eaten it all clean!
The feed troughs were incredibly smooth, as if they had been licked clean inch by inch.
Not a single grain of feed was left!
Jiang Ye was astonished. Were these hens this voracious?
For a moment, he hesitated to feed them, fearing he might give them too much and the foolish hens would overeat themselves to death.
He returned to the base and opened the Livestock Assistant.
At the bottom, there was a section for expert guidance where he could type in questions.
With a "let's give it a try" attitude, he typed.
Jiang Ye: Hello, expert! I bought a batch of hens, feeding each about 100 grams of feed. They should last a long time, but they cleared it all in a blink. Should I wait before feeding them again? I'm afraid they'll eat themselves to death.
After three to four seconds, the expert's reply arrived.
Professor Ma: Did you buy the chickens and feed from the Livestock Assistant?
Jiang Ye: Yes.
Professor Ma: Don't worry, feed them generously. The ones provided by the Livestock Assistant are not ordinary chickens; their digestive systems are incredibly strong. Feed them as much as you have. They will grow rapidly!
Jiang Ye: Wow, they're that amazing? Thanks, expert!
With the expert's guidance, Jiang Ye's concerns were allayed.
He directly bought two sacks of feed, carried them all to the chicken coop, and poured them in with a rush.
The hens began pecking furiously, their appetites exceptionally good!
As they ate, many of the chickens started shedding feathers!
Feathers of all sizes detached from the coop and fell to the ground.
Besides the feathers, chicken droppings were also being produced.
These chickens were clearly efficient; less than an hour after their last meal, they were all lifting their tails to defecate.
Grayish-green droppings fell to the ground, thick and sticky.
The chicken coop immediately became foul-smelling!
Jiang Ye was overjoyed.
Returning to the base, he grabbed a shovel and started shoveling the manure.
He shoveled it into the toilet in the corner of the chicken coop.
After more than ten shovelfuls, the toilet was nearly full.
He pressed the flush button, and the chicken manure gurgled down.
In just a few minutes, two bags of fertilizer and two canisters of biogas were produced!
Jiang Ye was very pleased. See, this was efficiency!
Looking at the feed troughs in the coop, with the small mouths of these chickens, they should still be eating for a while.
Jiang Ye returned to the base.
He opened the chat channel, where the daily messages awaited.
Cao County Citizen: Anyone around? I need to stock 2000 Ofloxacin capsules today! These things sell well.
Jiang Ye started delivering without a word.
2000 capsules seemed like a lot, but they were small in volume, and he finished in a short time.
Including the profit from the shipment and today's profit share, Cao County Citizen transferred a total of 50,000 yuan.
Jiang Ye's personal assets currently stood at 694,000 yuan.
He was reasonably well-off, at least enough to buy small items without checking the price.
Of course, he still needed to save diligently for upgrades.
Cao County Citizen: Any new stock lately? What are you busy with?
Jiang Ye: No new stock. I'm trying my hand at raising chickens.
Cao County Citizen: Feathered chickens, or featherless chickens?
Jiang Ye: Don't let your mind wander with all sorts of nonsense! Feathered chickens, of course!
Cao County Citizen: That's great! Sell me some chickens! I'm sure many people would be willing to eat chicken, and maybe I can make a small fortune.
Jiang Ye: Forget it. The cost price alone is 500 yuan. If I mark it up, and you mark it up again, a single chicken would cost over a thousand yuan. Not many people can afford that.
Cao County Citizen: What the heck! Such expensive chickens! Where did you get them?
Jiang Ye: Of course, I bought them from the base panel. There are no supermarkets here. The goods on the base are produced by various star systems under the Galactic Empire. With tariffs, transportation fees, inspection fees, and layers of intermediaries, the selling price to us is often outrageously high. But there's no other choice; I can't buy them anywhere else.
Cao County Citizen: That makes sense. But can your chickens lay eggs? Sell me the eggs!
Jiang Ye: They can lay eggs, that's true, but they won't hatch into chicks. Because I only have adult hens now and no roosters, the eggs they lay are all infertile.
After a moment of thought, he typed a further message:
I can consider selling you a batch of dead chickens, or roosters, later. Infertile eggs can also be sold to you. As for hens and fertile eggs, I won't be selling them for now.
Cao County Citizen: I get it, you're monopolizing. I hereby declare you the Chicken King of Nebula M78!
Jiang Ye's forehead was covered in black lines. Why did that title sound so strange?
Feeling tired, time to sleep!
Jiang Ye added a scoop of coal to the stove and snuggled into his quilt.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt like there was still a scent of women's shampoo on the bear-skin quilt.
