Ok im that time it was probably very doable if say you were a main landowner surrounding a major city, easier if it’s a coastal city in a land protrusion. But that’s just ONE city.
I think it’s more a matter of how impoverished the pesantry are, if they have enough land, food waste, to keep many hens, there is no place for an egg monopoly, if they can’t, there is always sulprus demand. And so there is a place for industrial egg producers. Older Chinese people seem to be very nostalgic about eggs, so they were probably more impoverished than modern Mexican peasants.
That being said, you are correct, it’s likely her grandpa had to he egg monopoly in a small region rather than all of china.
