?Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Being Remembered by Someone (6)_1 Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Being Remembered by Someone (6)_1 Knowing that Lin Ziyin couldn’t possibly delay his business and that there were plenty of duck raisers in the village, Guo Zhongkui hurriedly followed the mule cart to Feng City to find Lin Ziyin.

“Sure, you can buy their ducks, but they must first sign a contract with your family.” Lin Ziyin immediately suggested after hearing him clearly.

“A contract with us?” Guo Zhongkui was taken aback.

He was an honest man who only knew how to raise ducks; how could he also act as a foreman to buy ducks?

“Yes, for each duck, you can collect an extra two cents. But you also bear the risk.” Lin Ziyin instructed patiently, “Big brother Guo, business is unlike ordinary social interactions. If you consistently give in, you may end up cheated with sick or underweight ducks, possibly leading to bankruptcy. However, as you’ve seen, my shop needs a large number of ducks. You can earn two cents for each duck per year, it adds up to a sizeable amount. Think about it. If you’re not willing, I can find someone else.”

Guo Zhongkui understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

He was more aware that this great opportunity was actually given to him by Lin Ziyin. The roast duck shop needs at least eighty or ninety ducks a day. Just by helping to oversee, he could effortlessly earn more than a hundred cents. In a year, how much silver would that be!

This money, Lin Ziyin could totally keep it for himself.

But Lin Ziyin gave it, and even reminded him. It was all out of consideration for his sister Guo Huiniang.

“Big brother Guo should think it over before deciding, after all, you know your relatives well.” Lin Ziyin stopped talking with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll do it.” To improve his family’s living conditions, Guo Zhongkui decided to risk it.

Seeing that Guo Zhongkui was not hopelessly ignorant, Lin Ziyin was secretly pleased. This is how people are, if they don’t strive on their own, even their relatives can’t help them. This is the principle of helping in emergencies, not in poverty.

“Big brother Guo, you have a lot of experience in raising ducks. Why not try raising more ducklings? It could also generate some income.” Lin Ziyin gave him another suggestion.

“It’s possible to raise ducklings, but it’s not easy to have ducklings in winter.” Guo Zhongkui answered with a bitter smile.

“I know a master who can build an Earth Dragon. If you trust me, Big brother Guo, why not let this master set up an Earth Dragon and heated bed in your house? This way, the temperature is met, and you can hatch ducklings on the bed.” Lin Ziyin suggested, “However, I can’t guarantee that this method will definitely work. You may also suffer some loss of duck eggs initially.”

Artificial incubation in winter? This was another new concept. It took Guo Zhongkui quite some time to regain his senses. “Ziyin, I know you mean well for us. Whether this method you suggested works or not, I want to give it a try. When you’re free, could you introduce that master to me?”

“That’s easy. I’ll give you his address later, and you can look for him along the way.” Lin Ziyin was pleased with his courage, “As for the rights to proxy purchase, I will announce it with my elder brother tomorrow. When the time comes, you just sign and put your fingerprint on it.”

“Thank you, Ziyin.” Guo Zhongkui felt dizzy with all this information.

The two things Lin Ziyin mentioned today made him feel like he was dreaming.

Lin Ziyin did not detain him, let his assistant pack a roast duck and some pastries for him. He also generously provided sauces, and another pack of duck necks and braised dishes.

“I’m embarrassed…” Guo Zhongkui was somewhat shy.

Lin Ziyin forcefully handed the basket into his hands.

“Sister, what if there aren’t enough ducks?” Zige overheard her conversation with Guo Zhongkui.
