However, even though he has decided to raise chickens, what kind of chickens to raise and how to raise them are also issues that Li Yuan needs to consider. Among these problems, the first thing to be solved is the site problem.
For Li Yuan, it is not difficult to solve the venue problem. Next to the vegetable base, there is a wasteland of tens of acres. Although it is not suitable for growing crops due to the soil quality, it is perfect for building a chicken farm.
In order to win this piece of land, Li Yuan once again consulted with Chen Wenchuan. The two parties had maintained a good cooperative relationship, and it didn't take much trouble for him to rent this land.
Li Yuan just mentioned it to Chen Wenchuan, and the latter agreed to lease the land to him without hesitation, and the price was also very suitable. The lease term was the same as the vegetable base for ten years.
However, Chen Wenchuan did not forget his duties as the village head just because he was a consultant of the vegetable base. Although the other conditions are more favorable, but this time he deliberately added a clause in the contract - when Li Yuan hired chicken farm staff, the villagers of Ningxia Village had priority.
Li Yuan agreed to the old village chief's request without even thinking about it. With the lessons learned from the employees in the vegetable base, he also understands that most of the villagers are honest people who work hard. What's more, there is Chen Wenchuan to help check the gate, so there is no need to worry about inviting lazy and slippery people.
After renting this piece of wasteland, the next step is to start building a chicken farm. Since Xiantao Company is taking the high-quality route, the chicken farm can't be sloppy.
Li Yuan thought about it from the very beginning. The chicken farm must adopt a free-range model, and he will never feed the chickens synthetic feed. Instead, they feed on grains and vegetables.
Out of such considerations, chicken farms must be fenced with high barbed wire to prevent the chickens from escaping, and at the same time keep some animals that threaten the chickens out. Relatively speaking, the chicken coop does not need to be too large. Just enough to keep the chicken safe overnight.
Of course, building such a chicken farm is not a small project, and it also requires a professional engineering team to do the construction. For this reason, Li Yuan asked Chen Wenchuan to invite back the engineering team that built the vegetable base, and let them do this project. After all, both parties in the last cooperation were very happy, and there is no need to find someone else.
Although Chen Wenchuan was a bit picky about the quality of the project. But Li Yuan is a very willing to pay, so the boss of the engineering team happily took over the project.
After clarifying the various requirements to Li Yuan, the engineering team quickly started construction. Some workers began to build the foundation to build the chicken coop, while others used forklifts and chainsaws to clear the site and prepare for the construction of the fence.
Seeing everyone busy on the construction site, Li Yuan also felt very relieved. Now his career is getting bigger and bigger. After the chicken farm is built, it is not just a vegetable base, but should be called a farm.
Looking at the growing scale of the farm, and the beautiful Yuetang Mountain behind the farm in the future, Li Yuan also has the idea of finding a good foothold nearby and living here more often in the future.
Li Yuan doesn't plan to live in Ningxia Village, but wants to build a small building by himself at the foot of Yuetang Mountain. Preferably with a garden. That's about the same as the single-family villa in the advertisement, and what's even better is that the environment here is even better.
Of course, even at the foot of Yuetang Mountain where no one lives, it is not allowed to build houses casually. Otherwise, everyone would come here to build villas, and it would be really messed up. However, if Li Yuan wanted to build his own small villa, he first had to get Chen Wenchuan's approval.
After hearing Li Yuan's plan, Chen Wenchuan thought for a moment before saying to him: "Actually, you have rented land in the village for ten years, so you can be regarded as half a villager. There is a serious person to build a house here. It’s not a big deal to settle down.”
Hearing what Chen Wenchuan said, Li Yuan was also overjoyed, knowing that this matter was basically considered a success.
However, Chen Wenchuan changed the subject at this time, and said to Li Yuan in a deep voice: "However... let's agree on one thing first, this house must not be built on the cultivated land. There is a red-headed document stipulated that the red line of the cultivated land must be strictly observed, and no one can invade it. arable land..."
Amused by the words of the old village chief, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Chan chief, I don't need you to tell me that I would not build a house on the cultivated land. Let alone the cultivated land in the vegetable base, even if it is the wasteland of the chicken farm, I will I am not willing to waste it. It is all profitable land, and it is distressing to use it to build a house!"
Chen Wenchuan was still worried about this matter, but he felt relieved after hearing Li Yuan's words, and nodded repeatedly: "It's best if you think so, where exactly are you going to build the house?"
"I want to build it at the foot of Yuetang Mountain, near the river." Li Yuan said the most suitable location in his mind, and then explained to Chen Wenchuan: "There is not much agricultural land there, and it is almost out of Wuxi. It’s within the scope of the city, and I built my house there, so there shouldn’t be any major problems, right?”
Chen Wenchuan nodded and said, "You have a good idea. It is not an agricultural land and the environment is very good. It is indeed suitable for building a house."
Li Yuan's idea was approved by Chen Wenchuan, and the next thing will be much easier. The two went to the site to check it out, and Chen Wenchuan marked out a wasteland of almost two acres for Li Yuan to build a house.
Of course, Li Yuan is not from the village after all, so it is impossible to use this land for free. For this reason, he will pay the village an extra 2,000 yuan in rental fees every year before he can obtain the right to use the land.
But for Li Yuan right now, the annual expenses of 2,000 yuan are really nothing. With more and more customers in the vegetable base, the net profit of a day is far more than that.
After getting the land, Li Yuan immediately went to the boss of the engineering team and told him his plan to build a small building. For the boss of the engineering team, the more jobs the better, he assured Li Yuan that the small building would be built according to his requirements.
Li Yuan was also unambiguous, listing his requirements one by one, and asked the other party to strictly follow these requirements for construction. Naturally, the boss of the engineering team would not have any objection to this, and carefully wrote down every requirement of Li Yuan and prepared to strictly implement it.
Of course, it will cost a lot to build a small building that fully meets your own wishes. After listening to all of Li Yuan's demands, the construction team boss quoted a cost that was more than double the previous one.
But today's Li Yuan is no longer the poor boy he was half a year ago, he has some money in his hands. Hearing the quotation from the engineering team boss, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I won't counter-offer, as long as you guarantee the quality of the project!"
Since Li Yuan was so straightforward, the boss of the engineering team was also unambiguous, and promised him to start working on the foundation immediately. So at the foot of Yuetang Mountain, two construction sites started at the same time.
However, within a few days of the start of the chicken farm project, Li Yuan noticed that Chen Wenchuan was frowning, as if he had encountered some difficulty. (To be continued.)
