Chapter 355 Prepare to go to the countryside to buy chickens and ducks
After seeing off the fan group, Li Youran walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the withered trees outside the window, the dead leaves swirling in the street, and sighed that winter was coming so quickly.
Just then, the cell phone rang. I took it and took a look. It turned out to be the phone number of my second uncle Lijiagou.
"Hey, it's my second uncle. How are you at home?" He pressed the answer button and said.
The call was from my second uncle, mainly to discuss with him the green farming in the village.
The second uncle said that the first batch of chickens had been carefully raised and now weighed three to four kilograms. There were also a lot of chicken eggs. Li Shuanzhu and his five families, plus himself and the old village chief, had a total of seven households.
He was involved in this matter and asked him when he could send someone to purchase it.
Li Youran has actually been thinking about this matter in his mind. The second uncle and the others specially bought 20-day-old chicken seedlings and started breeding them in early July. They are now more than six months old.
He asked his second uncle to estimate how many chickens there were in total so that he could make a transportation plan.
"Our family has more than 80 of them, but the first batch of enough ones is only about 50. The total number of other people's is estimated to be more than 400." The second uncle thought for a while and replied.
"Okay then, I'll arrange for someone to come over in the next few days. Second uncle, when the time comes, you can help with the arrangements." Li Youran agreed immediately.
The two talked about some relevant situations on the phone. During this period, the second uncle often went to several other farmers to check to ensure that these chickens and ducks were indeed free-range. They ate bugs, vegetables and grains, and no feeding was seen.
of feed and additives.
Moreover, in the early stage, everyone uniformly asked technicians from the township animal husbandry station to vaccinate against bird flu, so you can rest assured in this aspect.
"Second uncle. It's already winter. You and Second Aunt have worked hard for a year, so it's time to take a good rest. After collecting the chickens, why don't you come to the city to have some fun? Fang Cheng misses you very much."
After talking about business, Li Youran made another suggestion.
"Fang Cheng still misses us? That's nonsense. That brat usually doesn't even bother to make a phone call. Your second aunt has to take the initiative to call him, which is so arrogant. However, Fang Cheng hasn't been naughty and caused trouble for you recently.
Right? By the way, there is Hu Zi, and that kid is not a good guy. I was always worried that he would abduct Fang Cheng." The second uncle said with a smile and scolded Hu Zi.
"No, Fang Cheng and Hu Zi have learned well now and are willing to listen to me. They have been smoothed over by me. They work in the aquarium shop during the day and go to school at night, which is quite hard. Second uncle, you don't have to worry, I'm here with you.
Don't care. They will definitely be successful in the future. By the way, you should think about what I just said." Li Youran said, secretly laughing in his heart. Hu Zi really doesn't want his second uncle to see him.
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about it.
"Okay, but I still have some work at home. Let's go there before the new year. I want to be fresh at my age and go to the city to celebrate the New Year." The second uncle finally made up his mind and agreed.
The second uncle has never traveled far in his life, and the farthest place is Longshan County. It is really not easy for him to go out.
Li Youran sighed inwardly and quickly finalized the matter with his second uncle.
After ending the call with his second uncle, Li Youran did not waste any time and directly dialed the mobile phone of Feng Daniu, the head of the logistics department, and asked him to come to the office.
Five minutes later, Feng Daniu, wearing a leather jacket, knocked on the door and walked in.
Li Youran asked him to sit down on the sofa, and then told him about his plan to go to Lijiagou Village to buy chickens and ducks.
"Boss, there's no problem with this. I'll just take a guy to the countryside. The truck will drive more slowly. It's probably only half a day's journey. But we need to make some preparations in advance to transport hundreds of live chickens.
, we can’t rely on our own van, we have to find a transportation company to rent a small truck, um, we also have to rent some chicken cages, stack them on top of each other, and prepare some medicines. By the way, we must collect the goods by then.
Go to the county to get an animal quarantine inspection certificate. There is an inspection at the intersection when you enter Tianhai City." Feng Daniu has been the head of the logistics department for such a long time, and he has considered all aspects of this matter quite carefully.
"Daniu, you can make the decisions on these specific matters." Li Youran continued to carry forward the good style of the big shopkeeper who only asked for the goal to be achieved, and the specific details were considered and arranged by the staff themselves. This saves the worry and laziness.
The people below feel trusted, so why not do it.
Feng Daniu nodded and stopped talking about the above matters. Then he asked about the purchase price.
Currently, the price of chickens on the market is two to three times that of ordinary feed chickens. The price of chickens bred in certain specific environments, such as bamboo forests and grasslands with superior geographical environments, is even higher.
In addition, the prices disclosed in the market are generally the purchase prices purchased by wholesalers from professional farmers in rural areas in the suburbs. For remote mountain villages like Lijiagou Village where the distance is far away and the roads are not easy to walk, you have to consider the increase in transportation costs.
Issues, especially fuel consumption, must be considered in the current era of high oil prices.
Li Youran thought for a while and said that Lijiagou Village is his hometown and belongs to his fellow villagers, and the main purpose of this matter is to help the village generate income and get rid of poverty, so he shouldn't worry too much and just buy it at market price.
Feng Daniu took out his mobile phone to find someone to inquire about the latest market conditions, and then informed boss Xiao Li. Based on this discussion, the two came to the conclusion that the purchase price was set at 14 yuan per catty for roosters, 16 yuan per catty for hens, and eggs.
It is set at eight yuan per catty.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Feng Daniu stood up and said goodbye to Li Youran, saying that he would go back to make arrangements immediately.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something and turned back.
"Well, boss, after finishing this matter, I would like to take a leave." There was a hint of shyness in his tone.
Li Youran thought about it for a while, estimated the days, and immediately understood.
"I understand, Daniel is going back to his hometown to get married. That's a good thing." He said with a smile.
"Yes, my father called me a few days ago to urge me. He said that he specially found a fortune teller and chose a good day in the middle of the month. He couldn't delay it. Alas, there is no way. My family just believes this." Although Feng Daniu sighed.
He took a deep breath, but the joy on his face revealed his mood at this time.
"You still have to respect the customs of your elders. Besides, we have been engaged for such a long time, so I guess the bride's family should be anxious. Haha, if the bride changes her mind, you still have to blame me for the rest of your life. Go ahead, I'll give it to you.
You have twenty days of paid marriage leave, go home and arrange the wedding in a down-to-earth manner." Li Youran joked, and then readily approved the leave.
Feng Daniu's dark face was a little red. He expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and then walked out of the office briskly. A few seconds later, his strange humming voice came from the stairs. The two people in the finance office heard it.
The lady frowned.
Two days later, Feng Daniu and his assistant Xiao Dai drove to Lijiagou Village to purchase firewood chickens and firewood ducks. Li Youran left him his second uncle's mobile phone number and told him that his second uncle's name was Li Tiangui.
