"Xu Yi, I remember that your family is also in the countryside, you should always know about the vigorous development of fruits in the county when we went to school, right?" Li Chengxiang raised his head and looked at Xu Yi and asked.

"You know, what's wrong with this?" Xu Yi didn't understand, what does this fruit planting have to do with dropping out of school, could it be that he dropped out of school and went home to run an orchard?

"At that time, my family's conditions were not very good, for me to go to school, this day was also tight, watching people plant trees to make money, my dad moved his mind, thinking that if he wanted to plant fruit trees on such a big hill in his own family, he must be able to make a lot of money, he and my mother combined, from the county Agricultural Bank of China loaned 20,000 yuan, bought saplings, and hired people to plant on the mountain, the result was poor management, the fruit tree died more than half of it at once, and the rest could not see the results, but the loan was about to expire, in desperation, my father sold the family house, paid off the loan, and took me and my mother to work in the south, I dropped out of school for this。 Li Chengxiang said, reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes, and reached out to hand one to Xu Yi.

"I don't smoke, thank you. If you are young, you can still quit it, smoking is not good. Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, fortunately, he just thought about it back then, even if this was really planted, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay this loan if I work part-time, after all, the area of this Qingyuan Mountain is several times larger than his.

"I've been smoking this for almost six or seven years, and now I'm gradually reducing the dose, let's quit a little bit. Li Chengxiang lit a cigarette with a lighter and took a hard puff.

"At the beginning, the houses we lived in were all other people's warehouses, there was no TV or anything, and we came and went, so we learned to smoke to pass the time, and in a blink of an eye, we have been smoking for so many years. ”

"I see you're good here, it's all the money you've earned from working in the past few years? That's really good. Xu Yi said.

"How can it be so easy to earn, at that time, when I went out to work, I couldn't find any good jobs, the whole family only earned four or five thousand yuan a month, and it cost almost more than 1,000 yuan for food and housing, and there were less than 60,000 yuan left in almost two years. ”

"Then I told my parents that this is not possible, although this kind of part-time work is better than farming at home, but there is nothing left in this life, we still have to find a way to rely on the resources of our hometown to make money. ”

"At that time, farmhouses in the south had been on the rise for several years, and many of the people who worked together had been there, and they all said that this thing was very rare, and countrymen like themselves liked to run to the city, but the people in this city were good, and they always thought about running to the countryside. ”

"I pondered for almost a month, bought a second-hand bicycle, got off work every day, ran to the outside of people's farms to see, and when I came back, I told them that they also felt that this thing had a head, and gritted their teeth, and rushed to take my parents on the weekend, and spent hundreds of days to live with other people's houses, after all, we are farmers, and the main thing is the countryside, this thing is reliable. ”

"What's more, I haven't heard of this here, and our own hill is not far from the forest park, and we have seen more and more tourists in this forest park in recent years, so if we really do it, we shouldn't lose money." ”

"But after all, my own economic strength is limited, and if I make a one-time investment, I don't have that much money, but if I don't have money, I can only watch it, and I can't do it at all. ”

"After a few more investigations, I think it's a good idea to raise local chickens to accumulate funds. Discuss with them, although this is a little risky, but after all, this local chicken is better than a foreign chicken, one is solid and easy to feed, and the other is that the common people also recognize this, sometimes outsiders come to the village, and it may not be possible to buy one for hundreds of yuan. ”

"The chickens are bought and placed on the mountain for them to find food on their own, which not only saves money on feed, but also sells them at a price. Assuming that the chickens can't be sold, then continue to raise, even if winter comes, there are not so many grass seeds, insects, at most it is to paste some corn or something, raise it until the next year, the hens can lay eggs, and the eggs can be sold for money. ”

"Although it is said that this foreign egg is only a few dollars a pound, but at that time, if the local eggs in our county were sold in retail, they were almost a dollar, and there were a lot of unruly ones, all of whom took a small foreign egg to pretend to be a native egg, and the reputation of this native egg was also stinked, and no one in the city dared to buy the native eggs in the market, and they all tried to entrust their relatives in the countryside to help buy it. ”

"Although I think I can do this, but my parents also have concerns, we don't have the technology to raise chickens in our own family, this is not my own family to raise ten or eight, how to raise it, it is not distressing. This requires large-scale chicken raising, but I'm afraid that if there is a mistake, it is really too late to cry. ”

"Well, every year in the spring, the chicken plague in our place is also very bad, and the first day is still alive, and the next morning, there is no one left. Xu Yi also remembers that every spring, because there is no vaccination, the chicken plague is very bad, but the people in the village don't care, let's die, anyway, I can still eat it after plucking the hair, or I have only learned from the township in the past few years, and the chickens have been vaccinated in the new city, and there are fewer deaths.

"After thinking about it, my parents thought that I was young, my brain was active, and I learned things quickly, so I simply found a chicken farm to work, although people raised in this cage and we raised a difference from the free-range, but in the end it is almost the same, this is not trying to make any money, just thinking that this can also learn technology. ”

"After all, if you want to raise so many chickens at this time, it's hard to guarantee that nothing happens, the old saying doesn't say, 'family wealth, hairy ones don't count', this is really a bit of a problem, I'm in the chicken farm, even if I haven't learned the skills, at least there are technicians in this chicken farm can ask for advice, no matter how it will not be as miserable as planting trees before." ”

"In this way, just after the New Year, my father and my mother quit their jobs and came back, built a chicken coop on the side of the mountain, and built a simple house next to the chicken coop, and then surrounded the mountain with a net. ”

"Fortunately, apart from being bitten to death by rats at the beginning, there were no major problems. And they also think that this is the only hope for the family, even if they can't find a chicken, they don't want to rest, and they listen to me, and the vaccines are all complete. The grass seeds and insects that this chick eats are also sturdy, and they run in the mountains all day long, and they don't get sick at all. It can be said that until the winter, in addition to the cost of the chickens, there is nothing else, even if the winter, the insects are gone, but there are still a lot of grass seeds on the mountain, although a lot of corn was bought just in case, but in the end it was useless. ”

"Although we didn't spend the money ourselves, we must earn the money we should earn, and there is no need to reduce the price because of our low cost. When the Chinese New Year was about a month away, I was afraid that the market in our county would be limited, so I asked my father to put dozens of chickens in a cage and take a bus to the city to test the water. ”

"After all, it's the Chinese New Year, and every family has to buy a few chickens, and although the local chickens that we haven't eaten this mouthful of feed are a little smaller, they are completely different from those broilers in terms of coat color and appearance, not to mention the taste in their mouths. ”

"My dad was worried that according to what I said, the price would be several times more expensive than that of broiler chickens, and that it would be too expensive to offer more than 100 yuan for one piece -- we had white chickens here at that time only five yuan a pound, which means that a live chicken can buy five or six foreign chickens. ”

"I'll tell him, this good product is not afraid of expensive, all feed is antibiotic these days, and this thing will have an accident sooner or later. ”

"I have to say that knowing that my family has so many chickens, several people came to my house to sell feed within a few days, saying that the chickens that eat his feed will grow fast, and they promise not to get sick, and the price is not expensive. ”

"My dad asked me, and I said that I couldn't use it, because we haven't broken out yet, and we can't cut off our own way first. ”

"This also happened to coincide with the food inspection in the market before the year, and the radio exposed that the chicken antibiotics in foreign fast food exceeded the standard, and then the chicken on the market also had this problem. My dad told me that this was over, and when people saw the chicken seller, they turned around and left, saying that they were afraid that they would lose money now. ”

"Whether the market sells white chickens or live chickens, there is no business, all of them are full of gloom, even if the price is reduced to a loss, few people buy it, my dad said that we will also reduce the price, that is, make less money, if the year is over, it will not be able to sell the price." ”

I immediately thought, isn't this a good opportunity, let my dad quickly catch a few chickens, and send them directly to the city's agricultural product testing center to do a nutrition and drug residue measurement, no matter how much it costs, as long as everything that can be measured is measured, wait for the test results to come out, and send it directly to the notary office for notarization. ”

"Waiting for the notarial certificate to be obtained, this is less than half a month away from the Chinese New Year, I asked him to buy two frames to frame these test reports and notarial certificates, and put them directly in front of the stall, simply increase the price of each chicken by 30 yuan, and don't care about killing! Then let my dad buy a few packs of toothpicks and a few bags of disposable small paper cups, and then kill a chicken and cut it into small pieces, and stew it directly on the side of the stall. ”

"Is this okay, the live chickens sold in the vegetable market are all stinky, how can this work?"

"This is the role of hype, you see that so many beauties in the world are fried on the Internet, and I haven't seen a few of them popular, but you look at this Sister Feng, she is praised for her unsightly, but why is it popular? In fact, there is nothing strange, this uniqueness is the best selling point. ”

"You also know the shopkeeper in this countryside, who can cook, better cooked? This chicken is stewed, but the proportion of this seasoning is wrong, he added more peppercorns, but no matter what, this chicken is stewed by him, but the mistake is good, the taste of this stewed chicken is just over the smell, all the way through the seasoning area, and even spread to the place where the noodles are sold!"
