Seeing that everyone's expressions had relaxed, Li Zhe quickly struck while the iron was hot and said:
"And we can not only raise chickens, ducks, and even pigs. When the time comes, we will raise them all over the mountains and plains, and others will know at a glance that we are free-range, organic and good things. Then I will publicize them to everyone. It’s definitely not bad!”
When Li Zhe said this, the villagers became a little tempted:
"Li Zhe, you are the most promising kid in the village and a college student. If you say yes, then everyone will follow you!"
"Yes, Li Zhe said it's okay, so what do we, the big guys, have to worry about?"
“I heard that this organic food has become very popular recently, it’s really happening!”
Li Zhe also took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire and said:
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll pay for the first batch of chickens and ducks. Each family will share some. I usually just take care of the chickens and ducks so that they don't get sick. Don't refuse, everyone. I am also from our village, so this is my heart! If anyone refuses to accept it, then I will not care about it! And when the time comes, I will purchase it for everyone in a unified way, so you don’t have to worry about sales!"
Li Zhe hurriedly said that the money was nothing to Li Zhe. Being able to do something for the village also gave Li Zhe a sense of accomplishment. This was also a good opportunity to do favors!
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Zhe said, the second uncle Li Manfu on the side said:
"Everyone has heard this. This kid is kind-hearted and has a conscience. You can't let me off the hook. You have raised these organic chickens for me, but you can't invalidate this kid's intentions for me!"
All the villagers in Lijiaji also had happy expressions on their faces, but country people are simple after all. Li Manfu also asked:
"Li Zhe, you are giving away chickens and buying them together. If you can't sell them by then, it will be a loss. We in the village can't let you suffer this loss, otherwise we all won't feel at ease making this money." .”
"Yeah, yeah, we don't want to make such uneasy money."
Li Zhe also smiled and said:
"Uncles and brothers, you still don't know what I am capable of. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to sell it. I will also make money when the time comes. Don't get jealous by then."
Li Zhe's joking words also caused a burst of laughter. Everyone knew that Li Zhe was joking, and there was a happy atmosphere in the venue.
Li Zhe was also happy when he saw this scene. This was forcing him to become a livestock king again. When the time comes, the mountains behind his home would be filled with his own free-range organic chickens, ducks, and domestic pigs. What, you can try to raise all the game in the mountains in captivity when the time comes, and feed it carefully by yourself. As long as you don’t tell others, others will think it is pure game. Even the meat of the animals you raise is better than that of pure wild animals. Be more delicious.
Thinking of this, Li Zhe also said to the second uncle Li Manfu beside him:
"Second uncle, now that everyone has agreed, I really have one thing to trouble you about."
Li Manfu, who was smiling all over his face, heard Li Zhe's words and immediately said cheerfully:
"Son, tell me, as long as the second uncle can do it, we will definitely do it for you."
Li Zhe took advantage of the situation and said:
"You see, don't we want to raise free-range organic chickens and ducks? Since they are free-range, we have to let these chickens and ducks run all over the mountains and fields in search of food, so you have to contract the hill behind our village to me, and you can tell me a price. !”
The back of Lizhe Village is close to the mountains, and there are several hills on the periphery. Logically speaking, these are state-owned properties, and ordinary people cannot decide their ownership. However, it has always been a convention in the countryside that the hills belong to the village where they are located. , so sometimes if you want to contract this mountain, it may not be useful to go to the national department. You usually discuss it with the local villagers, and the state turns a blind eye to these matters.
Li Manfu is the village chief, and it is appropriate for Li Zhe to talk to him.
"You kid, look what you are saying. You have made such a big contribution to our village, and this mountain is reserved for everyone to use. How can I ask you to pay for it? Anyway, the mountain belongs to everyone. This When we raise organic chickens, everyone has a share and no one can escape. When the time comes, just release the chickens and ducks on the mountain, and there is no need to talk about money!"
Others also heard the conversation here and echoed:
"That's right, we all have a share, so I can let you, the kid, pay for it yourself, but don't embarrass us uncles!"
When Li Zhe saw this scene, he didn't say much more. In fact, he just mentioned that now that the matter on the top of the mountain was settled, the mountains behind were all pure natural woods, and there were also many insects and the like. When the time came, he would just take the chickens away. Just put the ducks inside. It doesn't matter if the food is not enough. Li Zhe has no intention of really relying on insects in the mountains to raise the chickens and ducks. In the end, it still depends on himself!
When rural people encounter happy events, they want to throw a banquet when they are happy. As the village chief, Li Manfu immediately announced that there will be half a banquet in the village today. There is a master chef in the village, the pots and stoves are set up, and the vegetables from each family's fields are... It's ready-made, and if you kill a New Year pig, it will be prosperous.
Li Zhe also specially asked Fatty Qian to send a few boxes of golden wine from Nancheng Winery for the evening banquet. Nowadays, it is difficult to buy even a bottle of this golden wine on the market, let alone these few. I bought several boxes.
The protagonist of the banquet was naturally Li Zhe. Those uncles and brothers took turns to come to Li Zhe to toast. Li Zhe could only refuse everyone who came. He hardly ate food all night and only drank wine. Li Zhe was nothing. After all, with the body lying there, those uncles and brothers were all dizzy until the end.
······
The next day, Li Manfu began to mobilize all the young and old men in the village and went up the mountain to delineate the approximate range of activities of the chickens, ducks and poultry in the future. The approximate range had to be fenced off with wooden stakes, otherwise tens of thousands of people would be killed in the future. There is no way to take care of chickens and ducks in the mountains. If they all run into the mountains and cannot be found, and there are many wild animals in the mountains, it will be a waste.
But it only needs to be roughly fenced, it doesn't need to be so tight, and the wood on the mountain is readily available, and the villagers can just bring hatchets from their homes to chop it.
However, even if dozens of strong rural laborers did this work, it would take more than ten days before it was roughly completed.
But some villagers couldn't do it. Li Zhe hired a professional architectural design company to design and construct a large-scale irrigation and water delivery system on the hills behind, and the water source was directly connected to his own. That semi-underground cistern.
At that time, the spiritual water in the reservoir will be directly transported to various hills for drinking by these chickens and ducks.
For this reason, Li Zhe also specially built a large reservoir again. Otherwise, the original reservoir would be a little tight for the winery and Rainbow Fish. Now it has to supply 200,000 chickens and ducks. Drinking is a bit too much.
Li Zhe had already applied for industrial land once before to build the reservoir, but fortunately this time Li Manfu directly applied for land from the superiors in the name of the village. When the superiors heard that Lijiaji was going to start a collective business, it was natural for them to do so. Thank you for your strong support. The land was quickly approved. Anyway, the land was originally within the territory of Lijiaji. It was just a matter of going through a procedure.
······
Li Zhe, on the other hand, drove his family's dilapidated minivan to Jiangcheng. As a free-range organic chicken and duck farmer, he didn't have much to settle for yet.
After asking around for a long time, I still haven't found any place in Jiangcheng that can provide me with tens of thousands of chickens and ducks. There is no way that the scale Li Zhe wants is too big. Now only rural people can raise so many chickens at home. I eat it at home, and there are no such large-scale breeding farms in Jiangcheng.
Li Zhe could only ask Fatty Qian to inquire in Nancheng. After all, it was a provincial capital, wasn't it?
"Brother, you are really good at playing. One day at a time, you start raising chickens again. Then you can come to my house when you smell like chicken shit! But since we are brothers and you want to do it, how about I join in? "
"Fuck you, I asked you to inquire, there is so much nonsense! You don't make enough money, do you?"
Fatty Qian is a really tricky guy. Now he wants to have a hand in whatever Li Zhe does. He now understands that none of the things Li Zhe does is not profitable! It's absolutely right to follow along...
Li Zhe didn't pay attention to him at all. Now the gold wine business was enough for him, and the chicken and duck raising business was left to the villagers.
Fatty Qian was very efficient. After only one day, he helped Li Zhe contact a large-scale breeding farm in Jiang Province. He also did wholesale business of chicken and duck seedlings. The scale was large enough, and he would definitely be able to satisfy Li Zhe. Zhe needs the amount.
Fatty Qian also helped Li Zhe find out the price of their chickens. One chicken only costs five yuan.
This is still the price of a good variety, which surprised Li Zhe.
Li Zhe really didn't expect it to be so cheap. After all, when he raised chickens at home, he usually got the chicks directly from other people's homes. Country people never care about this, but it makes Li Zhe look a bit like that person who doesn't eat minced meat. The stupid pig emperor seems to know nothing.
In this case, 10,000 chickens are only 50,000 yuan. They even said that if you want so many chickens, they can give you a discount. This little money is just a waste of money. Li Zhe suddenly became jealous. Damn chickens. Give me 100,000 ducklings and ducklings of each kind!
The total amount is only one million!
Anyway, the back hill area of my village is huge, so the two hundred thousand sounds like a lot, and if you just throw it into the back hill, it won’t mean anything.
And there’s no need to worry about the chicken coop. Aren’t the pheasants on the mountain living directly in the mountains? Li Zhe didn't believe that the chickens and ducks that he had fed with spiritual water would not be able to compete with those pheasants. When the time came, they would all be scattered on the mountain. It would be more worry-free!
The farm was also frightened by Li Zhe's inhumane behavior. There were a total of 200,000 chickens and ducks, which was almost the business volume of their farm for a whole year.
He immediately offered to waive the shipping fee for Li Zhe, and also told Li Zhe a lot of knowledge and precautions about raising chickens. Li Zhe must have forgotten about it immediately because these chickens will need to be treated with spiritual water. Come to feed me, this is more useful than any knowledge...
Li Zhe also informed that the village might need to expand in size, so the old and young men would have to work again, but no one was unwilling. The larger the scale, the more they would earn.
Two hundred thousand chickens and ducks were quickly delivered by a special vehicle from the farm. The convoy transporting chickens alone blocked the road outside Lijiaji Village!
