Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Su Wanqing watched all of this with a smile.

It seems that the officials here are studying the data and submitting reports. Once they are ready, they will also have to start raising chickens themselves, and by then they will have enough chicks on the market.

By the time the official promotion started, my local chicken farm had grown to a considerable size.

In the early stages, they focused on selling chicks nationwide, and that first pot of gold was definitely theirs.

They've just started promoting it over there, and here we're already selling special chicks, hehe.

Since this is an official promotional campaign, the price of the chicks is definitely not cheap; selling hundreds of thousands of them would easily generate a considerable amount of money.

Su Wanqing then offered a heads-up: "Relying on these few to breed is too slow. I'll start breeding them myself first. If these chickens pass the certification and can be promoted nationwide in the future, you can come to me to buy chicks, which will speed up the nationwide promotion."

Chen Jianhua glanced at Su Wanqing, surprised that she had such a business mind.

However, he did not object, but said:

"It's obviously not okay for you to raise them privately, who knows if the ones you raise are the same breed as ours? However, there is an idle livestock area next to our Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which is the Academy's own land. You can pay some rent and put these chickens of the same breed there to be raised together."

When Lao Zhang tests them, both sides will be tested together, so they will be from the same batch.

If we promote their use, the testing report from our Academy of Agricultural Sciences will prove that they are from the same batch of qualified chicks.

Chen Jianhua gave a more authoritative suggestion: to semi-officialize Su Wanqing's private breeding business and stamp it with an official seal.

Su Wanqing gave a thumbs up: "Director Chen is very thoughtful. We'll do it your way."

At that moment, Chen Jianhua approved the use of the adjacent land for research and breeding of chicks. After all, Su Wanqing was already very selfless for contributing a few chickens. It wouldn't be right to ask her to contribute all her chickens before this new breed of chicken has been fully researched.

Therefore, everyone present was very supportive of Su Wanqing opening a private chicken farm next door.

Su Wanqing only needs to find some people to build a proper chicken farm, then bring the chickens in to raise, and record the data together with the research lab. However, since she's going to raise chicks, she'll definitely need to hire more people... she needs to find some trustworthy ones.

Unfortunately, it seems she doesn't have many people she can use in Bincheng.

A day can easily pass by at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

After finishing the work of planting shiitake mushrooms, white fungus, and chickens, it will be almost time to get off work.

Grandpa Chen waved his hand and said, "Come on, Xiao Su, let's go to the city to look at houses for you. My old classmate and I have already made arrangements, and he's waiting for us this afternoon."

Chen Jianhua still has a lot of things to do. It's just that the old man Chen has nothing to do all day, especially since he's retired and feels restless. When Su Wanqing has some small matters to attend to, he takes them seriously and handles them.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Chen."

Chen Xiuer had also finished her work, and the group met up and went with Old Master Chen to look at the house.

The first location is in the city center, where there are cinemas and People's Square, and the flow of people is very large.

The house is a two-story building facing the street. It's quite spacious and not far from the military hospital, which is only a ten-minute walk away.

At the door, Mr. Chen's old classmate bought a bag of roasted melon seeds and a bag of roasted soybeans, which were rolled into a paper tube and cost a total of one cent for the snacks.

"Hey, Old Chen, have something to eat. I was getting really bored waiting for you guys, why did you take so long?"

My old classmate's surname is Wang. He works at the housing management office and will retire soon. He is in charge of managing the allocation of public housing.

Now that reform and opening up have allowed individuals to rent these houses, some are too expensive and others are in remote locations, so they haven't been rented out yet.

Grandpa Chen grabbed some melon seeds, then took some beans and gave some to Su Wanqing and the others before saying:

"Once I'm done with my work, let's go take a walk and see those rooms you mentioned."

Old Wang led the group to the location and pointed, saying, "This area is bustling with people coming and going. This house faces the street; although it's small inside, it's perfect for your business. The rent is eighty yuan a month. This used to be a supply and marketing cooperative's branch; this is the first time it's been rented to a private individual."

Aunt Wang clicked her tongue – Good heavens, it's so much more expensive than her huge house? No wonder it can't be rented out.

Su Wanqing looked at the storefront. There was indeed a lot of foot traffic outside. She thought it would be more suitable to sell snacks or open a restaurant, but selling mushrooms... well, it was definitely a prime location.

She then asked Chen Xiuer and Guo Mingyuan, "What do you think?"

Chen Xiuer shook her head: "Dr. Su, since we're just starting out selling mushrooms, it's best to go to areas with more residents. Most people who come here are watching movies; I'm afraid not many will buy mushrooms."

Guo Mingyuan nodded as well.

But Su Wanqing felt the location was excellent, and even if she didn't need it now, she could use it later, so she asked, "Is this place for sale?"

Old Wang paused for a moment, then nodded: "Sell it. This is private property. It was a shop before liberation, but the owner later went overseas, and the property has been managed by the housing management office ever since. Now that the policy has been implemented, the property rights are relatively clean, so it can be bought and sold. But the price isn't cheap. This shopfront costs 20,000 yuan, which isn't worth it. Renting is more cost-effective."

Su Wanqing thought about it and realized that she currently only planned to sell mushrooms, but planned to open a chicken farm in the second half of the year.

What to do if you have too many chickens? What to do with the eggs? What to do with too many chickens?

Then just make it into fried chicken legs, fried chicken cutlets, roasted chicken hearts, and egg burgers—a complete production line.

So maybe a fried chicken shop could open here in the future—oil prices are too high to make fried chicken now, but she could make roast chicken or roast chicken leg shops.

She wants this shop! It's only 20,000 yuan. If this were twenty years from now, it would be worth more than 10 million yuan for this location.

There aren't many shops with such clean backgrounds that can be bought and sold. Nowadays, most of them are government-owned properties, which don't have the right to be bought and sold at all.

Since I've come across this, I might as well buy it; I have plenty of money.

He said, "Okay, let's look at the next one first."

Everyone assumed that Su Wanqing hadn't taken a liking to the place, so they didn't say anything and followed her to the next location. After all, no one expected that Su Wanqing would spend money to buy this house.

When we arrived at the second location, it was closer to the military hospital and was located in the military family quarters.

There are large residential areas here, with not only supply and marketing cooperatives but also department stores, and the foot traffic is quite good.

I heard that a new building is under construction not far away.

Old Wang explained, "This storefront is even bigger than the previous one. It's the storefront at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there's a warehouse in the back. There's a residential area not far away, with houses everywhere, so the demand for daily necessities is even stronger. There's not only a supply and marketing cooperative here, but several new shops have also opened next door, making it very well-equipped."

Su Wanqing was very satisfied with this place—it was at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there were all kinds of shops along the entrance, selling seasonings, dried goods, toys, and small commodities.
