Chapter 68 Greatly Welcomed

  Xiao Ping was very confident in Sun Lin's vision, and seeing his ecstatic expression, he knew that the green-shelled eggs would definitely be a hit. Sun Lin did not disappoint Xiao Ping, asking about the price of the eggs as soon as he opened his mouth.

  Xiao Ping had certainly considered the price of these eggs. The ordinary green-shelled eggs on the market were sold for eleven or twelve yuan, so his good eggs should at least double that price. So he set the price at twenty-five yuan per egg.

  A chicken egg selling for twenty-five yuan is not a low price, but Xiao Ping can even sell cabbage for fifty yuan per kilogram, so this price is not bad. Most importantly, the green-shelled eggs are really excellent, so Sun Lin agreed to the price without hesitation and asked Xiao Ping to send three hundred eggs first for trial sales.

  Xiao Ping readily agreed, then bid farewell to Sun Lin and went elsewhere to promote the eggs. For several days in a row, Xiao Ping was outside, running from one high-end hotel to another, introducing the green-shelled eggs to those top chefs. Xiao Ping had already made a name for himself in the high-end catering industry, so when he came with new ingredients to recommend, those top chefs didn't dare to slack off and all personally came out to receive him.

  Green shell eggs were already famous in Suzhou, and those big chefs saw that Xiao Ping was selling green shell eggs, they all had very high expectations. And Xiao Ping did not disappoint the old customers, easily conquering these big chefs with the deliciousness of the green shell eggs. Every customer asked to buy this delicious green shell egg, even several large restaurants in the provincial capital were no exception.

  Pierre, the chef of Raffles Western Restaurant, has a huge appetite and hopes that Xiao Ping can supply him with at least 400 eggs every week. No wonder the French are so greedy, eggs are an essential ingredient in Western cuisine. According to Pierre, 400 eggs per week is not enough, doubling it would be just about right.

  However, Xiao Ping's green shell eggs are supplied to many high-end hotels in the provincial city and Suzhou, so it is impossible to fully meet Pierre's requirements. He only promised to supply 500 eggs per week and promised to increase the supply quantity after the production volume increased later.

  Xiao Ping's quoted price was twenty-five yuan per egg, which is twice the market price of ordinary green shell eggs. An egg sells for over twenty yuan, which is absolutely a high price. However, no customer haggled with Xiao Ping over the price, and everyone only bargained over the quantity supplied, hoping to buy more products from the farm.

  Xiao Ping made a round trip to the provincial city and Su City, with an average of 500 green shell eggs produced every day, not only were they all sold out, but also in short supply. After deducting feed and other costs, Xiao Ping could make more than 20 yuan per egg, and 500 eggs a day would be worth tens of thousands of yuan. Later, as the scale of chicken farming expanded, this number could be multiplied several times, which was also a considerable income.

  The green-shelled eggs were selling very well, and the inventory in the cold storage was taken away by customers in just a few days. Now, almost every day, people from hotels come to the farm to buy eggs that were laid yesterday. Seeing how popular the green-shelled eggs are, Xiao Ping would not miss this good opportunity, telling Zhao Quan to expedite the plan to hatch chicks, even if it's just one or two hundred for now, in order to make use of the empty space in the chicken farm as soon as possible.

  Fortunately, the green egg chickens in the farm had a high egg production rate. Within just one week, dozens of mother hens selected by Zhao Quan produced more than 200 eggs, which he put into the incubator. The incubation period for chickens is twenty-one days, meaning that these chicks would hatch before the Spring Festival.

  The specific chores on the farm no longer required Xiao Ping to do them himself, and all the output had a fixed sales channel. As a result, he had more free time. After being busy for several months, Xiao Ping suddenly found himself with nothing to do and felt somewhat unadapted, so he went to a driving school to learn how to drive.

  As the business grew bigger, Xiao Ping gradually found that not knowing how to drive was really inconvenient. Especially after the car accident with Zhang Yu Xin last time, he felt it was even more necessary to get a driver's license. Now that he had the time, he might as well take care of this matter.

  Xiao Ping was also clear in his heart that if he were to find Wang Chun for such a thing as a driver's license, it would be easily settled with little effort, and maybe not even need to study. However, in Xiao Ping's view, personal relationships should be reserved for critical moments, and there was no need to trouble others for such trivial matters.

  Since taking the spiritual liquid, Xiao Ping's abilities in all aspects have improved significantly, and driving is no big deal for him. He has only learned for a short time, but Xiao Ping can already drive with ease, and even his instructor praises his level, sighing that if all students were like Xiao Ping, his work would be much easier.

  In his spare time while learning to drive, Xiao Ping would often go to antique markets and the like, or get in touch with those bosses who did jade business, thinking of ways to buy some jade stones for the Spirit Refining Pot to absorb. At present, the scale of the farm was getting bigger and bigger, and Xiao Ping had to increase the output of spiritual liquid of the Spirit Refining Pot to meet his own needs and the needs of the farm.

  Xiao Ping knew that the Alchemy Cauldron was the foundation of all changes, and in terms of buying jade stones, he was absolutely willing to pay any price. Anyway, during this period, the farm also sold a lot of vegetables and eggs, which increased Xiao Ping's income by several million. In addition, the iron skin stone lotus in the Alchemy Cauldron grew well, and it would not take long to harvest again. Therefore, Xiao Ping spent money without hesitation, as long as he could buy back any jade material that could make the Alchemy Cauldron produce a clear response. However, within just over three weeks, he had already spent over 1 million on this.

  This also made Xiao Ping somewhat famous in the jade circle of Suzhou, and many people who did business with jade knew that there was a young man who spent money very freely when buying jade. More importantly, his movements when selecting jade were extremely quick, he would just take a close look and immediately decide whether to buy or not. This also gave Xiao Ping an air of mystery, and many people were guessing what this rich young man's background really was.

  Xiao Pingcai didn't care how others speculated about his origins. Every time he bought back jade stones, he would eagerly let the Lian Yao Hu absorb them. After absorbing hundreds of millions of yuan worth of jade materials, the interior of the Lian Yao Hu also underwent a significant transformation.

  A small tree on the edge of the spring has grown another leaf, bringing the total to nine lush green leaves. The space has also expanded, with the original area of about 1.5 mu now growing to nearly 3 mu. The pond's surface area has doubled and its distance from the spring eye has increased slightly, still maintaining a position at the edge of the 3-mu boundary. A considerable amount of aquatic plants have grown in the pond bottom, which can be seen from their emerald green color and exceptionally large leaves, these aquatic plants are absolutely not ordinary.

  The small stream flowing from the spring to the pond has become wider, and its flow direction has also undergone a significant change. Originally, the stream was directly flowing from the spring into the pond, but now it meanders around in a semi-circle before finally pouring into the pond. This not only increases the length of the stream but also allows it to fully nourish more land. The Alchemy Cauldron is indeed an extraordinary treasure that can adjust the distribution of rivers and ponds within its space as the area expands.

  However, Xiao Ping also discovered a problem at the same time, which made his mood somewhat heavy.
