Chapter 149: The Problem of Raising Chickens
Hearing this, Zheng Xiulan's heart moved, this guy would never be sloppy in these serious matters of the villagers, and hurriedly asked, "What ideas do you have?"
Xu Fang thought for a moment and said, "Raise chickens." β
"Raising chickens?" Zheng Xiulan knew that Xu Fang had a hotel business, so that the villagers did not have to worry about raising chickens, and then she frowned and said: "Xu Fang, our villagers invest in scallop breeding, and we don't have much money in our hands, so we can't raise a few chickens, right? β
"Let's raise pheasants. β
Hearing this, Zheng Xiulan raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What is a pheasant?"
Xu Fang rolled his eyes and had to explain to the people in the city: "Pheasants are pheasants, because wild animals are protected by the state, but now people are very interested in wild food, so breeding pheasants will definitely be popular in the market." β
Zheng Xiulan blushed and asked deeply, "Is it easy to raise?"
"It's not bad, it's more profitable than ordinary chickens, and the things you eat are more miscellaneous, vegetable leaves, sprouts, insects, beans, grains, grass seeds, etc., are their food, resistant to high temperatures, severe cold, and it's okay to drink ice slag, but our climate, it is estimated that they can't drink it." Not good at flying, but good at running, so find a piece of land, seal it with a net around it, and you can raise it. Saying this, I want to show that pheasants are very easy to feed, and as long as they are done properly, the survival rate is quite high. β
"What about profits?" Zheng Xiulan was already moved.
"The price of pheasants can generally reach 25 yuan per catty, and they can be sold in three months. Each chick, plus the transportation cost is only five yuan, the stomach pouch is relatively small, the amount of food is small, and the food can be sold, and it will eat 20 yuan of things, and the profit of each can reach fifty. Xu Fang said with a smile.
Zheng Xiulan lowered her head and kept calculating: "The cost price of raising a pheasant is 25, and raising a hundred pheasants costs 2,005, which is actually quite high for the villagers." The profit is 5,000, matures in three months, and earns an average of 1,666 yuan a month. β
At this point, Zheng Xiulan glared at Xu Fang and said, "Xiao Fang, is this profit too small?"
Xu Fang rolled his eyes: "Eldest sister, how much more do you want to earn? If you can earn tens of thousands, if everyone doesn't come to raise pheasants, can this kind of good thing still be our turn? Raise a hundred less, raise three hundred, not more." β
"Three hundred, that's what you think of, the villagers' money is invested in scallop farming, and everyone has no money in their hands, right? Zheng Xiulan asked angrily.
"That's not right, why is there no land in such a big place as Jiulong Mountain? As long as the mountain road is repaired and a few more chicken coops are built on the back mountainside, the villagers will definitely be happy to raise them. β
"Who pays for the cost of buying chicks?"
Xu Fang patiently explained: "Our villagers make money by fishing scallops every day, and the average net income of each family is above 200 yuan. And the price of a chicken seedling, is only five yuan, three hundred is only one thousand five, if you have money, raise more, if you don't have money, raise a hundred nothing, the cost goes down, the money for feed is not invested in one go, a chicken only eats 20 yuan in three months, and the money is quickly saved with the income from scallop fishing. β
"Although raising pheasants does not make much money, in the future, everyone will have an income from the scallops they raise, plus the money from raising pheasants, the average income of each family a month is at least 6,000. And this kind of income can be stable for a long time, which shows that our sustainable development route has been successful, what are you not satisfied with?" Xu Fang comforted.
Listening to Xu Fang's calculations, Zheng Xiulan's heart immediately brightened, and the villagers' scallops matured, and it took a total of nine months, with an average monthly profit of more than 4,000.
When everyone makes money, they invest more in pheasant and scallop farming, and the income will naturally rise. In the future, there is no need to be tired of catching natural scallops, and everyone's monthly income can easily exceed 10,000 yuan!
In addition to some people, zuΓ² dried scallops are also made.
There are also people who work part-time to make medicinal diet pills!
At that time, the income of the villagers will even exceed the per capita income of second-tier or even first-tier cities!
Although there are some people who have earned more than 10,000 yuan, the number of wild seafood in the ocean is limited after all, and after a while, the seafood is all caught, and it will be difficult to make a profit in the future.
Xu Fang's mention of raising pheasants this time has undoubtedly made a strong contribution to the sustainable development of the village!
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xiulan smiled: "Okay, then let's talk to the villagers." β
"Okay, Chief Omura, do you want to invest some money to come in?" Xu Fangxiao asked.
Now the supermarket and the medicinal diet pill are made zuΓ², and after sharing the dividends with Xu Fang, Zheng Xiulan's monthly income even exceeds one million! The head of such a local tyrant is not short of this money, and immediately smiled: "Sister doesn't want to grab jobs with the villagers, let's go, let's talk to the villagers." β
β¦β¦
When Zheng Xiulan and Xu Fang appeared on the beach at the same time, they immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
Every time the two of them appear, there is indeed a big event.
Thinking of this, the villagers looked forward to it.
"Folks, come here. Zheng Xiulan greeted with a smile.
Everyone had noticed the situation here, and when they heard Zheng Xiulan greeting, they immediately surrounded them.
"Village Chief Zheng, what's the matter?" Sister-in-law Lan asked first.
Looking at the curious crowd, Zheng Xiulan said crisply: "Everyone has recently fished scallops, and they should have also discovered that if you want to catch scallops, you need to run farther, and the number is decreasing, and scallops are becoming more and more difficult to catchβ€ one day, the scallops in the sea will be fished out by us, and then we will expect to make money by catching scallops, it will be much more difficult." β
Everyone really felt this situation, and nodded one after another: "Yes, it's really getting harder and harder to fish, it is estimated that it will take less than half a year, and you can't catch it if you want to." β
"Yes, it's really getting harder and harder to fish, and there are scallops on the beach in Yuehai Village, and there are definitely not many of them in the distance. β
Aunt Zhang said worriedly: "Village Chief Zheng, we catch scallops every day, and we also know the number of scallops, and in another three months, it is estimated that we will not be able to catch them. After three months, it will be difficult for the villagers to make money. β
"Village Chief Zheng, is there any good way? Everyone is not afraid of hardship, and the children in the family are all going to school outside, so they are afraid of starving. Uncle Zhao sighed bitterly.
Listening to the villagers complaining, Zheng Xiulan and Xu Fang sighed in their hearts.
They only combined the profits of scallops and pheasants today, but one thing they forgot was that the scallop breeding base invested by the villagers would be nine months later!
The scallop resources on the seashore have decreased, enough to be harvested for three months at most, and from the perspective of ecological protection, Zheng Xiulan will not allow the villagers to go to the beach to fish again.
The income of the villagers will be half a year after three months, and they can only rely on other income to support their families!
After all the calculations, it was still missed in the end!
Zheng Xiulan glanced at Xu Fang for help.
Xu Fang didn't let go, stood up and said: "After three months, we will prohibit fishing scallops on the beach, but you don't have to worry, there is still a three-month buffer time, and Village Chief Zheng and I will do our best to provide you with ways to make money within this time." β
The villagers of Yuehai are simple, that is, they are used to being poor, so they can't wait to make money, but it doesn't mean that everyone is unreasonable.
Uncle Zhang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fang, if you kill the scallops, you will really have no job to support your family in the future, everyone understands this truth." No more fishing after three months, we've got your back. Besides, we have saved some money in these three months, which is enough for half a year, and the scallops farmed will not be able to be sold for money. β
"Yes, Xiao Fang, don't worry too much. Hearing Uncle Zhang's words, the villagers also agreed.
Xu Fang waved his hand and said, "This time I came with the village chief, not to report my worries to everyone, but after our thinking, we found a way to make money for everyone." β
The villagers, who were still a little depressed, were shocked when they heard this.
"Xiao Fang, what's the way?" Sister-in-law Lan asked, and the eyes of the villagers were also curious to stare at Xu Fang.
"Raising pheasants, we introduce pheasant seedlings from outside, the cost price of a pheasant is about five yuan, and it can be sold after feeding for three months, and it can grow to three catties and eat 20 yuan of feed. β
"How much can a pound be sold for?" Uncle Zhang asked.
"The market price is 25 yuan %2f catty, and if you have three catties, you can sell it for 75 yuan, and you can only earn 50 yuan. Whether you want to raise it or not, how much you want to raise, you have decided to tell me. β
"Pheasants can fly, and they have to build a chicken coop, which costs a lot of money, right?" a villager asked.
"The main places to spend money are the fence and the chicken coop, and if you raise a hundred pheasants, the construction cost of the chicken coop is about 600 yuan. This doesn't sound cheap, but a good fence can last for many years. Start farming now, and after three months, you will be able to make a profit, and then everyone will no longer catch scallops, and you will also have an economic source, so you can think about it. After Xu Fang finished speaking, he stopped urging and waited for the villagers to discuss there.
"Tie Zhu, you went to elementary school, calculate for everyone, how much does it cost to raise a hundred pheasants?" Sister-in-law Lan asked the young man on the side.
There are not many people in the village who go to school, and few are good at arithmetic, so many people look at the iron pillar and wait for him, a "cultural person", to calculate the results.
Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Tie Zhu felt a little proud in his heart, and calculated for everyone: "A chicken seedling is five pieces, and a hundred is five hundred." It costs 2,000 yuan to eat food for three months, and it costs 600 for the net and chicken coop, and a total of 3,000 yuan. One hundred can only be sold for seven thousand five, and the net profit is four thousand four. β
"I earned more than 4,000 in three months, which is enough to eat. Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
"I didn't make money by fishing for scallops!" Some young people are not willing to accept this kind of income.
"No, no one has ever raised this pheasant, and if it runs away or dies, won't it be a loss? Who can guarantee that everyone will live. I estimate that in the end, I will earn two or three thousand. β
"It's very likely, there are weasels and big snakes in the mountains, and whoever can watch the chicken coop every day and eat all the chickens one day. β

With the in-depth discussion of everyone, everyone has lost most of their interest in this money-making route.
