The southeast of Hubei belongs to the hilly area, and Li Yadong's side is the most mountain, and the second is water, because it is close to the Yangtze River.

His uncle, Hu Decai, lived on the edge of a tributary of the Yangtze River, a village surrounded by water on three sides, and there was only one dirt road to enter.

Li Yadong arrived here near noon, so tired that he couldn't breathe, and when he walked into Jiangzhong Village along the dirt road, he looked at the surrounding rivers and lush water and plants, and his eyes were full of color.

In fact, he has been thinking about a problem recently - the location of the duck factory, if you don't consider the scale, there are many places to choose from, they can raise it in the village, at least a few acres of ponds, and there is a small river in the distance.

But raising a hundred and ten ducks like that can't meet Li Yadong's expectations at all, his plan is to make thousands at least the first year, and there will be more after that.

So a good venue is something he has to consider at the beginning of his career.

And the Jiangzhong Village in front of you, is undoubtedly very suitable, ducks are unable to leave the water, duck water source is the first major element, here is surrounded by water on three sides, the terrain is open, the mind is brushed, it seems that there is really no better place than here within a radius of ten kilometers.

"It really didn't take much effort to get there. Li Yadong smiled, originally he planned to implement this matter after the New Year, but he never thought that he would come out to pay a New Year's greeting on the first day of the New Year, and solve the problem casually.

He knows the land here in Jiangzhong Village, many crops are not easy to plant, and there is not much arable land, don't they all say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, farmers mostly live on fishing and hunting, and his uncle is an old fisherman, so the land is not a rare thing, and it should not be a problem to ask the village to rent a piece.

At the east end of the village, near the river, there are three mud-tiled houses that are his uncle's house, and the family has little land, and they have to buy rations, so the conditions are naturally not very good.

Hu Decai obviously knew that his nephew was coming today, and the pestle was already waiting to be pierced outside the door.

"Yong'er, hurry up and get the cannon, Xiaodong is here. ”

A dark and thin young man walked out of the house, this is Li Yadong's second cousin, Hu Yong.

Holding a hundred-digit firecracker specially prepared in his hand, he said with a smile: "If you don't come again, my family is ready to eat." ”

"It's all on two legs, what can I do. Li Yadong smiled and asked, "What about Brother Wen?"

He also has a big cousin named Hu Wen, who is nearly forty years old, older than his eldest brother Li Yamin.

Although the two sons of the Hu family are married, they are not separated, one for the two old couples in the three mud tile houses, and one for the two sons, connected together, they can take care of each other when they usually have something, which is also very good.

"New Year's greetings went. ”

Thinking about it, Li Yadong thought that if he didn't come today, his second cousin would probably go out to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, his uncle Hu Decai is old, people in their early sixties, the age difference is too much, and there must always be a peer in the family to accompany the guests.

And Li Yadong is undoubtedly a distinguished guest in the eyes of their family, and no relative has such a good reputation as him.

"Uncle, I'm here to greet you. ”

The New Year's gift brought by Li Yadong was prepared by Hu Xiuying, a piece of pork, two packets of brown sugar, and a box of malt milk essence that her son bought for her.

However, Li Yadong stuffed another twenty yuan, and he didn't dare to give more, for fear that the old family wouldn't want it, so he pulled the old man for a long time.

The three women of the Hu family have been in charge all morning, and the meal has already been prepared, just waiting for Li Yadong to serve it.

It is not very rich, and the living conditions of the old Li family are not comparable at all, there is only one meat dish, fried bacon with green peppers, and then there is a pickled dried fish, and the other three dishes are vegetarian dishes.

When it was time to eat, his aunt and two cousins, plus three children, were not on the table, staying in the kitchen, Li Yadong called twice, but he didn't come out, and there was really no way.

"By the way, what are Brother Wen and Brother Yong doing now?" At the dinner table, Li Yadong asked casually. He probably heard his mother say that the two cousins seemed to have gone to work in the county for half a year.

Hu Yong smiled, didn't speak, took out a bottle of sorghum wine, and poured him a glass.

Hu Decai sighed and said: "What else can I do, born in this place in the river, it's useless to open up the wasteland, if you want to catch any work, you can go out to do it for a few days, usually you can only follow me to fish, watch the sky and eat, for example, there is no revenue today, I want to get a fresh fish when I go out in the morning, and a few nets are all small vegetables." ”

Li Yadong felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, his uncle still had to go out to fish at this age, not to mention the hard work, the main thing was too dangerous.

After the three of them walked for a few cups, Li Yadong inquired about the possibility of renting land in Jiangzhong to raise ducks, they were locals, and they naturally knew something about things in the village.

"The land is fine, it's empty there anyway, it's a good thing to have money, how can the village disagree. But do you want to raise a lot of ducks in this land?" Hu Yong said in surprise.

In fact, he also had the idea of raising ducks, but after looking at the neighbors on the left and right, he compared the millet with the final income, and it seemed that he didn't make any money, and he wasted a lot of time, so he dispelled the idea.

"Yes, a lot, take your time, and plan to raise at least a thousand this year. ”

"A thousand!" the Hu family was startled.

"How much investment does this have to take?" Hu Decai was a little afraid to think, not to mention the millet feed that the ducks eat, but so many duck seedlings are a terrifying expense.

"It's not easy to find so many duck seedlings, right?" Hu Yong knew that his little cousin was capable, and he knew that Lao Li's family was building a building, so he didn't ask about money, but considered other aspects.

"If you can't find it, you can hatch it yourself, to be honest, I plan to lose money in the first year, the key is to raise the ducks first, and the technology is thorough. ”

"Alas...... Your thoughts as a college student are really different from ordinary people. Hu Yong sighed, and he also realized the wealth of his little cousin.

"Do you really want to do it?" Hu Decai still felt that this matter was mysterious, in case it didn't work out...... As for him, the money he lost is not enough to pay for his life.

Li Yadong nodded, his attitude was very resolute, and he had obviously made up his mind.

"Uncle, see if you can help communicate in the village and choose a good place. As for Brother Yong and Brother Wen, if you are willing, come over to help my third brother and them at that time, don't worry about losing money, I will ask him to pay you a salary every month. ”

"Eh, why are you saying that? Hu Decai waved his hand and said, "Xiaodong, I want to ask, can this matter really make money in the future?"

Hu Yong also pricked up his ears, he was naturally happy to have a salary, but if Lao Li's family had been losing, but he and his brother were still getting salaries, it would be embarrassing.

"Uncle, don't worry, any business must be invested first to see results, stay up for a year or two, and then you will be comfortable. ”

"That's good!"

Hu Decai did not doubt that he had him, and he had unreserved trust in this nephew who could be admitted to Capital University, and said: "Just let your cousin and them help out, and don't mention the salary, as long as you don't starve to death, it's better than following me to fish and watch the sky and eat, at least there is a hope." ”

The three of them drank a little wine and discussed for a long time, Li Yadong was too involved to forget, there were still several people in the kitchen who hadn't eaten, so I was embarrassed.

Before leaving in the afternoon, he stuffed ten yuan of New Year's money for each of the three children.

With the help of his uncle in the duck factory, it was naturally a lot easier, and his uncle would definitely take care of the bargaining with the village committee, including the site selection.

After discussing the eighth day of the new year, Li Yadong also went home.
