Chapter 476 Helping More People

Ye Beishan snorted, "Come on, forget it. I don't even know what you were like when you were little. Did Uncle Yunhai go to your place that day and tell you something?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Big Brother."

"No, where on your farm is there room to raise chickens?"

Qin Eryong kept it a secret, "Brother, I can't tell you that. My farm is very big. I have room to raise not only 200 chickens, but even 2,000."

"Just blow it!"

Li Le ate and listened to their bickering. As they talked, he became curious about how Qin Eryong raised the chickens.

Seeing that they were all curious, Qin Eryong deliberately said, "This matter is a secret of our village. I haven't even told my sister-in-law!

If you want to know, Manager Li, don't you have to show some sincerity?"

"Brother Eryong, you can't be so stingy, right? It's just a small idea to raise chickens, what's the big deal?"

"Come on, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it."

Seeing Qin Eryong lowering his head and concentrating on shoveling food into his mouth, Li Le knew that he was determined not to tell anyone, so he had to show his sincerity. "Brother Eryong, how about this? Next time you come to the county town, I'll treat you to a drink at Zuixianlou. How about that?"

Ye Beishan was afraid that they would forget about him, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't forget to call me when the time comes."

Qin Eryong was full and contented, drinking the tea served by the waiter with satisfaction, "Actually, this is just a lucky thing for me.

There are quite a few families living in my village, and I was thinking of selling these two hundred chicks to them. You don't know how hard life is for the people in the village, and I want to make their lives better."

"Eryong, your intention is good, but how can they listen to you and buy the chicks home to raise them?

Qin Eryong raised the corner of his mouth, "Brother, I have thought about this a long time ago.

I told Brother Wanfeng that day that the chicks he gave me were raised at his place for a few days.

He sold it to me at a friendly price, the same price he bought it from Uncle Zhang.

As for me, I also sell it to people in the village at this friendly price.

I just asked about the price at the market, and people from the village also go to the market to inquire about the market conditions.

When they saw that the chicks I gave them were not only big but also cheap, they definitely bought them from me.

Most importantly, the men in the village are either building houses or clearing land.

The money for buying chicks can be deducted from their wages.

When they have grown up, they won't have to run around everywhere. I can come to their house and take their chickens away. Even if I can save two or three cents per pound, won't they be happy with that?"

After hearing this, Li Le slammed the table and said, "Brother Eryong, I am really impressed by your way of thinking.

This is a win-win situation. The people in the farm earn money from raising chickens, and the owner also makes some money."

"Manager Li is right. I think so too. You have never been to the farm. They live on the few acres of land in the farm.

It was fine when the weather was good, but after paying the rent, the whole family at least had something to eat.

If it was a bad year and the harvest was small, the whole family would go hungry.

It took me several days to come up with this rule.

At first, I didn’t dare to try raising too many chickens. I even planned to ask Brother Wanfeng to go to the farm and teach them how to raise chickens well.”

Ye Beishan patted Qin Eryong on the shoulder and said, "Yes, this is a good idea. We need to take our time with everything. Don't rush things."

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Once the workshop in the village is built, a group of people will come in to work.

I will then lead them to cultivate the existing land, reclaim the wasteland, and plant crops and vegetables.

If there are families willing to raise chickens and sell some chickens, they will be able to live a good life within a year or two."

"Eryong, I'm really envious of you when you say that. I'll definitely come to the farm to find you in a few days."

"Shopkeeper Li, no problem. I'm just a little busy lately. You can go after the house is built."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Ye Beishan asked again, "Eryong, does Juexia know about what you are talking about?"

Qin Eryong scratched his forehead and said, "I haven't had time to tell her yet! It's just right. I'll talk to her about something else later and talk to her about it while I'm at it."

"Juexia is kind-hearted, she will definitely support you in what you said.

Look, she has helped every household in our village to have surplus money.

Nowadays, people in our village feel very proud when they go out and mention that they are from Yejia Village."

Qin Eryong nodded solemnly, "Brother, Shopkeeper Li, why don't I go talk to my sister-in-law about this now? I have to go back to the manor soon."

Shopkeeper Li held Qin Eryong back and said, "Wait, wait a little longer."

Ye Beishan also asked Qin Eryong to wait a little longer.

Qin Eryong was puzzled. "Why? My sister-in-law should have finished her meal, right?"

Shopkeeper Li asked Qin Eryong, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending?"

"What do I know? I'm so busy that I can't leave the house. How would I know what's going on outside?

Brother, do you know why?"

Seeing that Qin Eryong's anxious look was not fake, Ye Beishan tactfully told him, "Your brother Beixiu is going to be a father just like you."

"What?"

Qin Eryong looked at the two people in front of him in confusion.

Li Le pointed at Qin Eryong and said, "Brother Eryong, are you so happy that you're silly? Ye Dongjia is going to be a father."

Qin Eryong rubbed his hands with a smile, "This is indeed a good thing. It is indeed not possible to go in and disturb my sister-in-law at this time.

How about this, I'll go to the backyard and ask Sister Yang, and when she's free, I'll go in and talk to her."

Qin Eryong waited for a full hour before Zhang Juexia asked someone to call him in.

Qin Eryong told the truth and first told Zhang Juexia about Liu Dalong, and then told Zhang Juexia about his plan to raise chickens on the farm.

Zhang Juexia did not object and told Qin Eryong, "When the time comes, don't pay less than two or three cents for the product you buy back. Just follow the normal market price.

The people in Zhuangzi really have a hard time. They can still buy a pound of food with those few cents. I am afraid that my few extra cents are meaningless.

Besides, they are helping me by raising chickens.”

Qin Eryong nodded quickly. "Sister-in-law, I thank you on behalf of the people at the farm. Also, what about Liu Dalong?"

Zhang Juexia stroked his forehead with his hand, "Let me think about it."

Qin Eryong was waiting while drinking tea. Zhang Juexia looked up and asked, "How much vacant land is there on our farm? I mean, space to build a house."

Qin Eryong thought for a moment, "There's an open space on the east and west sides, and there's some open space in the middle."

"Since there is vacant land, then you should agree to Liu Dalong. When he builds a house, I will give him ten taels of silver as a subsidy for his settlement on the farm."
