Chapter 219 Chicken raising career opens a new page

“I’ll plant some fruit trees behind this!”

"In the future, two rows of large bungalows will be built in front of this, making the whole farmhouse."

"This side is the kitchen and bedroom, and that side is the toilet."

"There is no heating in this house. I will install an air conditioner in the bedroom first."

"The conditions are a bit difficult now. Uncle, you and your aunt should overcome it first!"

In the 60 acres of land rented by Chen Li in Mentougou, Chen Li and Wang Jianjun were wandering around in several bungalows.

"What kind of air conditioner should I install? Is it still the same life without air conditioning in my hometown?"

"Don't waste that money!"

Air conditioners are somewhat of a luxury for ordinary people these days, so Wang Jianjun subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Uncle~ We live in Sichuan Province. No matter how cold it is in winter, the temperature will only be around 0 degrees."

"This is the north. When winter comes here, the temperature is all below zero."

"Although my money is indeed tight now, I still don't need this little money."

"It's just that the current task is to complete the infrastructure of the chicken farm first, and we will improve the accommodation conditions later."

In fact, to be honest, if you are starting a chicken farm, it is not suitable to start at this time.

First, it is October, and it will snow in Yanjing around November, so generally speaking, no chicken farm will choose to open during this time period.

In particular, Wang Jianjun and his wife can only be regarded as novices in large-scale chicken raising. If the management is not good, the chicken farm may have to pay a fortune after one winter!

But as far as Chen Li is concerned, since the chicken farm is built here in Yanjing, it will have to experience winter sooner or later.

Therefore, instead of waiting for the chicken farm to reach a large scale and then suddenly experience severe cold, it is better to let Wang Jianjun and his wife accumulate experience at the beginning when the scale is small.

Moreover, the improved yellow-feathered chickens are originally much stronger than ordinary yellow-feathered chickens in terms of cold resistance. When the time comes to add a chicken coop, there should basically be no problem.

"System~ When will your engineering team come?"

After introducing the chicken farm, Chen Li took the time to ask about the system.

A chicken farm is not just as simple as renting land.

Including chicken coops, living areas, hatching areas, production areas and staff living areas, etc.

Moreover, the chicken farm also needs to build a sewage treatment system, otherwise the chicken feces alone can breed many bacteria every day.

The genetically modified yellow-feathered chickens are indeed much more resistant than the original white-feathered chickens, but this does not mean that they will not get sick.

If managers do not handle it properly, even if the chickens are genetically superior, diseases will appear if they are thrown into a pile of bacteria.

There is also a heating system for the chicken coop. After all, it is too cold here in Yanjing in winter, so the warmth of the chicken coop must be guaranteed.

In short, all these things were put together and packaged into the system by Chen Li.

I don't know where the system created an engineering team, and they directly took over Chen Li's task.

The asking price is fifty thousand!

The most annoying thing is that these 50,000 yuan cannot be converted into mall currency.

In fact, the system gave Chen Li several choices at that time, because the chicken farm had just been established and the scale was still small.

Chen Li only plans to release 50 sets of yellow-feathered chickens and ten sets of white-feathered chickens in advance.

With a total of 600 chickens, the pressure on the venue and equipment is not that great.

But Chen Li thought about it later and finally decided to make the scale larger.

After all, according to the standards established by the system, the chicken farm ecology constructed with 50,000 yuan can allow 10,000 chickens to live a normal life.

And this standard is the most favorable standard provided by the system.

Chen Li calculated the funds in his hand at that time, and finally gritted his teeth and determined the standard of 50,000.

Get it right in one step so you don’t have to do it all over again later.

But this way, he basically has no money in his hands.

He originally only had more than 60,000 yuan, but he borrowed 100,000 yuan from Deng Weimin, and then spent 90,000 yuan on renting the land. Now he spent 50,000 yuan on the system, leaving only more than 20,000 yuan on hand.

Coupled with the recent turnover, Chen Li only has about 30,000 yuan at his disposal.

This little money was Chen Li's preparation for opening a branch.

"Estimated arrival time of the engineering team, 10:45-11:02 am"

After getting the accurate information, Chen Li took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was already 10:30, and he estimated that the engineering team would be arriving soon.

"Brother-in-law and aunt~let's go for a walk on the street and buy some things we need to buy."

Chen Li looked at the land and thought about what else to buy.

The wasteland that Chen Li rented was actually a small orchard in the early years, but it is said that the owner did not make much money, so he stopped renting it after a few years.

At that time, almost all the fruit trees were sold by the boss, and now there is nothing in this small orchard.

Chen Li planned to wait until his economy became more relaxed to see if he could start a task of planting fruit trees in the system.

If fruits can also be improved, then he will plant more fruit trees in the garden.

Raising chickens in orchards was a very popular way of raising free-range chickens in the past.

"You go with your brother-in-law~! I'll tidy up this room."

Chen Li's aunt has already put on an apron and sleeves on herself and is cleaning the house.

These three bungalows will be where she and her husband live from now on, so they still need to tidy up what they need.

"Hmm~! Let's go! I need to buy some things, and I need to buy some tools and so on."

Wang Jianjun also walked around the three bungalows and was quite satisfied.

Although these rooms are not as big as the houses in my hometown, the conditions are still much better than those on the construction site.

There are just some areas that need to be repaired, and there are also electrical issues that need to be repaired.

This bit of work is just a small problem for Wang Jianjun. Who among their generation can’t repair a house and get electricity?

"Okay~! The engineering team will be here soon. Let's go after they arrive."

Chen Li nodded, thinking a little bit.

There are only two people here, his brother-in-law and his aunt. If one person goes out alone, there will be only one person left in the chicken farm.

So, this chicken farm still needs to recruit people! Of course, this is definitely not the case now.

After all, with today's scale, two people are enough!

However, security issues cannot be ignored. After all, this is still the 1990s, and even the security in Yanjing is not much better.

Forget about hiring people for the time being, but I can raise two dogs.

Also, this place is a little far from the street, so it’s not very convenient to walk to buy groceries, so it’s best to buy a tricycle.

Forget about electric three-wheelers, that thing now costs several thousand, and Chen Li doesn't have the budget.

Buying an ordinary tricycle can be useful in daily life. Whether it is buying vegetables or transporting feed, it is more trouble-free and labor-saving.

At around 10:50, the engineering team arrived as scheduled.

Like Xiao Hu from Shennong Company whom Chen Li met last time, the contractor this time also had an eager face.

The reason is also very similar, the system has already paid in advance.

This is definitely a strange thing for the engineering team these days.

You should know that for the completion of a project, only a small part is often paid in advance, and another part is paid after the project is completed, and the final payment is not settled until after the project has been used for a period of time.

This also leads to the fact that once the payment for a certain project is late or even delayed, the workers may not be able to get their wages.

To be honest, generally speaking, contractors rarely take the initiative to default on wages to workers.

This is especially true for contractors these days, because almost all of the workers under them are fellow workers from their own villages.

Unless they encounter any difficulties, they generally would not do things like delaying wages.

Because once something like this happens, where will anyone follow them in the future?

The real reality is that Party A did not pay them at all, and the contractor was too clever to make a meal without straw.

If we don’t have any money, where can we pay the workers?

Of course, this is not an excuse for contractors who owe workers wages, because there are indeed such evil-minded contractors.

But such people are actually only a minority, because the problem of wage arrears is actually not caused by the contractor.

After all, the contractor is not stupid. The workers in the engineering team are his own people. If possible, how could he not care about the life and death of his own people?

Just like Li Yuan's father, why did he become successful in the construction industry?

It's because when Li Dazhi didn't allocate funds from above, he directly borrowed money from everywhere and even took out loans to pay wages to his employees.
