You have a small egg farm. You need to buy chickens, let them go down, then carry out the egg to the truck, sell them to get income. You can continue to upgrade the quality of the chicken and make the eggs they produce more valuable. When you have accumulated enough money, you can buy new chickens to produce non-necessarily eggs. You can also hire workers to help you handle these things.
