Chapter 30 Acquisition
After the new year and spring, Li Yan planted another two acres of pepper saplings, and then pruned the branches of the pepper trees planted last year, and started raising chickens.

Last year, she brought home a total of 3 yuan and 5000 yuan. Li Yan plans to take [-] yuan to build a chicken coop and a biogas digester that provides lighting and burns cooked food.

The green-shell layer chickens are three yuan per bird, and the total cost is 3000 yuan if you buy 1000 chickens first, and [-] yuan for various vaccines.

The chickens eat feed for a month, and then they can be released into the chicken shed to be free-range in the Potou field, allowing them to forage for themselves, but they still need to be raised in captivity during rainy and winter, so the most important thing is to ensure enough feed.

Li Yan went out to work because she wanted to raise chickens in the future, so she especially found a chicken farm to work, and she had already figured out the basic allocation of feed.

The most important ingredients are corn, wheat.

Li Yan went out with a notebook, ready to knock on doors and walk around.

At the end of the village, I met Aunt Huang, who looked like she was about to go up the mountain with a backpack on her back.

"Aunt Huang." Li Yan greeted her.

Aunt Huang looked up, forced her mouth to twitch, and smiled, "It's a swallow."

With a sad face on her face, Li Yan walked up to her and asked with concern, "Aunt Huang, where are you going?"

"When your uncle came back at the end of last year, the boss said he was too old to go to work. After the new year, he went out for a while, but he didn't find a job, so he came back again. I thought about going up the mountain to get some herbs and let him go. The son of the village chief took it to the county town to sell it, so that he can exchange some money." Aunt Huang stopped and answered.

Li Yan nodded, "Then be careful when you go up the mountain, it only rained two days ago, and the road is slippery."

"Good boy, I know, go ahead." Aunt Huang said and left.

Li Yan knew that Aunt Huang still had a child in the third year of junior high school, and it was time to spend money.

"Uncle Zheng, you're at home." Li Yan went to Aunt Huang's house first. Her husband was obviously a restless person, planing wood in the yard.

Uncle Zheng nodded and smiled, "It's Swallow, what's the matter?"

"Well, I met Mrs. Huang at the end of the village, and I knew you were at home, so I hurried over here." Li Yan walked to him and looked around, "What are you up to?"

"I'm getting old and I can't find work outside, so I want to make chairs and sell them in the county market." Uncle Zheng stopped the wooden pushers and replied.

"Uncle Zheng, I'm going to expand the chicken coop in Pojiao. Please help me. The wages are the same as that of Mr. Cheng from Lincun Village." Li Yan said bluntly.

A trace of surprise flashed across Uncle Zheng's face, and then he shook his head, "Swallow, I appreciate your kindness, but I am alone and cannot take over your job."

"Don't worry about this, Uncle Zheng. I, Uncle, Dad will help you when the time comes. This will save a lot of labor!"

After thinking about it, Uncle Zheng nodded and agreed.

Li Yan also told about her purchase of corn by the way. Uncle Zheng heard that her price was [-]% lower than the purchase price of the grain depot in the county. I was very surprised when I went to the chicken farm.

Before, it was enough to grow enough corn to feed the pigs and chickens at home. It’s meaningless to grow more corn, and it’s not even enough for travel expenses to sell it in the county. Therefore, Li Yan’s purchase price is [-]% lower than that of the grain purchase station, which is super cost-effective.

Pingya Village now has a lot of abandoned land, and now as long as it is planted, it can be exchanged for money. Once she said that, the whole village would have to open up wasteland to plant corn.

"Swallow, take as much as you have, you can't say this, if there is too much corn for your chicken farm, what are you going to do?" People looked down on her, so Uncle Zheng hurriedly persuaded her.

"Uncle, don't be nervous. Next, I will buy a truck. As long as everyone can grow corn, I will collect it and send it to the county grain depot."

Uncle Zheng looked at her incredulously. He knew the situation of her family very well. Where was the money to buy a car?
