Chapter 290 Ordering Salted Duck Eggs

The farm's fruit drink series has now embarked on a path of clear and rapid development, but other product categories such as taro bread and baked beans in tomato sauce have not been updated, and Josh has been slow to launch new products.

But in the middle of the night, she suddenly thought of egg yolk pastries, delicious egg yolk pastries.

Typical egg yolk pastries contain salted egg yolk, lotus seed paste, or red bean paste, and some even contain taro paste. These are all available at the farm, so why not give them a try?

Josh, without hesitation, decided to jump out of bed. But when she looked up, it was pitch black outside. She patted her head and thought, "What's the rush? It's the middle of the night." She had no choice but to go back to sleep.

But with something on his mind, Josh didn't sleep much that night. The next morning, as soon as it was light, he went to find Wen to discuss something.

Wen En always gets up early to collect duck eggs in the morning.

Upon closer inspection, sure enough, Wen En's spatial bag was flashing with an excessive amount of light; he had returned with the eggs.

Good morning, Wen En!

"Good morning, Josh. Why didn't you sleep in a little longer? It's still early," Wen asked with concern.

"I can't sleep. Wen En, I want to talk to you about a business deal."

Wen En was taken aback, somewhat confused. "What?"

"I'd like to buy some duck eggs from you."

"Oh, duck eggs? No need. How many do you want? I've been herding them on your farm. Don't talk about buying them or not." Wen En suddenly realized and was about to hand over the spatial bag.

Josh waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Wen En, I don't want to buy one or two. I want to develop new products. I need at least five hundred first. If all goes well, I'll need more in the future. Don't be shy with me."

"Huh?" Wen En was stunned. "Why do you suddenly want so much? You didn't mention it last night."

"I hadn't thought of that last night."

Since there are so many duck eggs, and Wen En isn't the kind of person who tries to put on a show, he'll discuss business properly. Discounts are a given, and Josh won't let him suffer any losses.

But he was still a little puzzled. "What are you planning to do with so many duck eggs? It's best not to leave them for too long, otherwise they will dehydrate."

"I plan to use it to develop a new product for the farm, which is a kind of snack that will be filled with salted duck egg yolk."

"Salted duck egg yolk?" Wen En asked thoughtfully.

"Is it the kind of salted duck egg used to make mayonnaise?" he asked.

“Yes! Wen, you know this?” Josh asked in surprise.

“I do know that. Some merchants buy small amounts of high-quality duck eggs from us and mix them with ordinary duck eggs to make mayonnaise, which they call ‘attribute duck egg yolks.’” Wen En’s tone was full of resentment.

"That price is comparable to my real attribute duck egg, what a profiteer."

"Hey, does Wen'en know how to pickle salted duck eggs?" Josh discovered a blind spot.

"What's so difficult about that? It's the most basic operation for us duck herders. My salted duck egg pickling skills are top-notch." Wen En wasn't the type to brag, so if he said that, he must be confident in his abilities.

"So, Wen, can I buy some salted duck eggs from you?" Josh looked at Wen with sparkling eyes.

If Wen En could properly pickle the duck eggs before selling them to her, it would save her a lot of trouble.

"Well, that's possible, but you might have to wait about two weeks." Wen En thought about it and realized it wasn't a big deal. "Okay, I can wait!"

After agreeing on the terms, the two began discussing the price of the duck eggs. Although Wen En said that pickling didn't take much effort and there was no need to increase the price, and that they should still pay the price of raw duck eggs, Josh disagreed.

This isn't a one-off deal; there's always next time. Once we've reached an agreement this time, we'll do as agreed. We can't keep making him do all the work for free.

Finally, Josh made the final decision: 45 salted duck eggs each, and these 500 salted duck eggs would be worth 22500 Federation points.

Wen insisted on buying in bulk and offering a "friendship price" of thirty. How could he possibly make a profit? Josh couldn't agree to that.

Moreover, Wen En mentioned in a previous chat that when selling to regular customers, the price is usually over 40 federal points, while retail sales can sometimes reach over 50.

Not to mention the marinated ones, which cost a different price.

Josh didn't want to take advantage of him, after all, his hard work was evident; he was exposed to the wind and sun every day with these ducks and geese, which was very tiring.

"Josh, really, the wholesale price doesn't need to be this high." Wen En was still a little embarrassed.

"Alright, Wen'en, why are you still dawdling? I said there's no problem. It's a win-win situation when everyone makes money."

“Okay, Josh, you’ve convinced me. I’ll make you some salted duck eggs as soon as possible while I’m at Glimmer Farm.”

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After finishing his conversation with Wen, Josh strolled back along the shore of Twilight Lake, feeling refreshed, and happened to run into Oswin, who was about to head out.

Oswin looked in the direction Josh had come from, his head ringing with the sound of a detective's radar, and asked suspiciously, "You didn't rest at the farmhouse last night?"

"What are you thinking, Oswin? Couldn't I be the one to get up early and talk to Wen about something?!"

"Oh, that's good. I was wondering why you'd still be fast asleep at this time of day." Oswin breathed a sigh of relief and began to tease him.

"That's only occasionally! Most of the time I get up very early." After saying that, she glared at Oswin and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "Little steward, go get to work and don't meddle in the farmer's business, or I'll dock your pay."

"Yes, yes, as you command." Oswin put his hat on, nodded to Josh, and then quickly left the farm.

He went to supervise the construction of the Weiguang Commercial District.

After finishing the breakfast prepared by the diligent housekeeper, Josh turned on his communicator and saw Dolly's reply after he sent the message yesterday: Okay, Farmer Josh, I will come to meet you on time tomorrow at noon.

She sent her a message yesterday saying we'd meet at the farm today at noon, since she doesn't have much time to go out and about.

Taking advantage of the morning, Josh opened the cloth covering the entire ant nest, allowing the Big-tailed Yak to withdraw its ice-attribute energy, so that the large-leaf ants inside could slowly return to normal and awaken.

This is not a short process. Josh has to stay by their side to make sure that she is the first person these little guys see, otherwise it will be difficult for them to trust her again in a short period of time.

So, Josh spent the morning with these little guys as they thawed. Watching the leaf ants become more and more lively, Josh began to try to communicate with them.

But whether they were frozen stiff or hadn't quite recovered, these little guys were very unresponsive and didn't convey anything useful to Josh.

"Moo~" Josh, don't rush, it won't be that fast. Their little brains need time to recover.

"Okay." Josh could only wait.
