I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 234: Raising Chickens"Uncle village head, I know this is not easy, but it is precisely because we have never tried it that we should be brave enough to take this step," Xu Congyi continued, "Tang's restaurant is about to open, and this is a rare opportunity. We can start with a small-scale pilot and find a few villagers who are willing to try raising chickens together. This way, the risk is small and everyone can have a period of adaptation. Moreover, Mr. Tang said that he provided the chicks for free, and we only need to raise them well, and then talk about money when the chickens grow up. If we really can't raise them well, we can eat them ourselves, at least we won't lose money. More importantly, if we succeed, we can increase our income a lot."
At this time, Old Man Xu also interrupted and said, "Village Chief, just believe Yi Yi. Since she recovered from her illness, she has changed completely. She is smart and capable. Our village has not changed much in recent years. It's time for a new look. When the time comes, we can sign a contract with Tang Ji. Even if we can't sell it, we won't suffer any loss. Just believe her this time, and let's work together to make this happen!"
After listening to the two, the village chief's last bit of worry disappeared. "Okay, let's give it a try. I'll go to the chicken coop with you guys to see the chickens. I'll call a meeting this afternoon to discuss this matter and see who is willing to work with you. I'll sign up first. My yard is big, so I want 30 chicks first!"
Old Man Xu and Xu Congyi smiled at each other. They had convinced the village chief and taken a crucial step. Although the matter was not completely settled, in their hearts, it was already half successful. Old Man Xu helped the village chief fix the broken bench at home, and then took the village chief to his own chicken coop.
The chicken coop and the rabbit coop are next to each other. This place is a wasteland at the foot of the mountain and no one usually comes here, so it was the first time the village chief had seen it.
"Brother Xu, are these two rows of houses used to raise chickens and rabbits?" The village chief couldn't help but marvel at the magnificent brick houses.
Old Man Xu said with a smile, "Ever since Yi Yi and Young Master Tang became friends, Young Master Tang has taken good care of us. He has given us tasks like raising rabbits, and we have made a lot of money from this. In addition, Yi Yi has studied gourmet food, and has cooperated with Young Master Tang several times, which has also made a lot of money, so we have the money to build this rabbit coop and chicken coop."
Old Man Xu also knew that he couldn't say too much about his family's situation, especially the space of his precious granddaughter had to be concealed. He only said that the money for building the house was earned by Tang Wenhao. This was also what Xu Congyi had instructed before he came.
There were not many families in Liushuzhuang Village, only 26 in total. On the way home from the chicken coop, the village chief went door to door to inform everyone that each family should send a person in charge to the village meeting hall in the afternoon to discuss something with everyone. There was an unusual seriousness in the village chief's words, which made the villagers curious.
The head of Liushuzhuang Village was always amiable and seldom serious. Therefore, when everyone saw the head's expression, they all guessed that it must be a big deal. In the afternoon, the villagers gathered in the meeting hall early, waiting for the head's arrival.
After the village chief came to the meeting hall, he relayed what Xu Congyi said to everyone. He told everyone that Xu Congyi wanted to lead everyone to raise chickens to increase their income. However, everyone's reaction was the same as when the village chief first heard the news. They were very confused and didn't know whether raising chickens would work.
Seeing this, the village chief patiently explained, "I called you all here to tell you about this. The chicken farming is led by Tang Ji, who has a good reputation in our area and is reliable. If anyone wants to try it, they can give it a try. After all, the chicks are free, so even if they can't be sold, we won't lose money."
Hearing this, Aunt Li, Aunt Sun and Aunt Liu expressed their opinions first. These three aunts were the three who were invited by the Xu family to help before, and they were also good sisters of Li Dahua. They were very supportive of what the Xu family was doing, thinking that this was not only good for everyone, but also a token of the Xu family's kindness. Therefore, the three of them responded directly, saying that each family wanted fifty chicks.
With the leadership of the three aunts, other villagers also began to express their opinions. Originally, they wanted to find a few households willing to raise chicks as a pilot. But the villagers thought that they were just providing feed, and it would be good if the chicks could be sold, but it would not be a loss if they could not sell them. So, each of the twenty households also joined the chicken farming industry. The families with more wanted fifty chicks, and the families with less wanted ten. The whole village needed 750 chicks in total. This number surprised the village chief, but he was more looking forward to it. He wrote down the number of each household, and after the meeting, he took the paper with the number recorded and went to Xu's house again.
