Ye Cheng instructed Zhu Laoda to deliver twenty chickens to the dock early tomorrow morning. Since Boss He was interested, the other bosses should also send some, as a form of publicity.
"Also, if you're free tomorrow, go to the city and buy a cell phone and a motorcycle. That will make delivering chickens more convenient."
"Okay, Brother Cheng, I'll take care of it tomorrow, and then I'll report back to you. We'll also go to the city tomorrow to buy the chicks."
"So fast?"
"Yeah, my mom said we need to raise them quickly, because it costs money."
Ye Cheng smiled slightly. This old lady may be old, but she's not senile.
After finishing his business with Boss Zhu, Ye Cheng strolled over to the crayfish farm and saw three people scattering feed by the pond.
"A-Yong," Ye Cheng called out.
Duan Yong and the other two turned around and saw that it was Ye Cheng. They immediately waved to him.
"Brother Cheng, come and take a look, the crayfish are almost done growing."
Um?
Is that about it?
Ye Cheng couldn't help but quicken his pace.
The three of them proudly showed Ye Cheng several crayfish they had caught.
"Brother Cheng, look."
Indeed, this crayfish has grown to 10 centimeters long and is quite substantial, weighing about 6-7 qian (approximately 30-35 grams), making it edible.
"Great job, you three! I think we can ship it out in another week."
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's praise, smiles immediately spread across the three men's dirty faces.
"Feiyang, how's it going? Getting used to the work?" Ye Cheng looked at He Feiyang, who had gotten quite tanned, showing he had been working hard.
He Feiyang grinned.
"Brother Cheng, it's a habit. There's nothing you're not used to. Duan Yong and Jiansheng taught me a lot. To be honest, working here is much more comfortable than working in the factory."
"This is comfortable? I get to sunbathe, do all sorts of dirty work, and don't even have a suit to wear." Ye Cheng pointed to the mud spots on his feet.
He Feiyang scratched his head sheepishly.
"Brother Cheng, stop mocking me. My suit only cost a little over a hundred yuan. I just bought it from somewhere. It's useless. If you don't have money, it's pointless to wear anything."
"Okay, it's good that you're thinking positively. I'll go out and look for sales channels tomorrow. You guys keep feeding them these next few days, and try to ship them out within a week."
Hearing that the goods were going to be shipped, the three of them were very excited; their pets were finally going to be sold for money.
Ye Cheng had originally planned to leave, but then he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Yong, how's the crayfish farming going with the Chen family?"
When the Chen family was mentioned, Duan Yong's face immediately showed a gloating expression.
"Brother Cheng, almost all of their shrimp are dead. Luckily, they've even lost their underwear."
I knew they didn't raise them well, but I didn't know they were this bad.
Hearing Duan Yong say this, Ye Cheng suddenly became interested.
"Come with me to take a look."
"Sure."
Duan Yong put down his work and led Ye Cheng to the other end of the village.
Soon, after crossing most of the village, we arrived at Chen's crayfish farm. There was no one guarding it; it was just a few bare ponds. There were protective nets around the ponds, but the problem was that there was nothing on the nets.
Ye Cheng frowned. "Isn't anyone watching them?"
Duan Yong gave a disdainful smile and pointed to the pond, saying...
"They don't need anyone to watch them at all; they're almost all dead. You'll see when you take a look."
He led Ye Cheng to the edge of the pond, which was filled with lush aquatic plants.
A few crayfish were crawling on it, but they didn't look healthy at all. They were thin and had white spots on their bodies.
Duan Yong scooped a crayfish out of the water and said with a disdainful tone, "Brother Cheng, look, these crayfish must be sick, otherwise they wouldn't have white spots."
"And this water quality, Brother Cheng, it's just like the wild. And with so many of them kept together, it's no wonder they're dying."
Ye Cheng nodded. He hadn't noticed it from a distance, but as he got closer, he could smell a putrid odor.
The pond water was quite murky, probably because it hadn't been changed in a long time.
There is a drain outlet over there, but it's blocked.
Ye Cheng sighed, "It's a bit of a pity. Such a large area, and so much time was spent, it's basically a complete loss."
Actually, Ye Cheng was being too kind by saying he lost everything. Such a large pond would require disinfection and cleaning again if he wanted to raise fish there again. Pumping water and sprinkling lime powder would all require manpower and money.
Ultimately, this was their business, and Ye Cheng didn't want to get involved too much. After watching for a while, Ye Cheng left with Duan Yong.
After they left, a figure emerged from under the ridge of the field, looking at Ye Cheng's retreating figure with a complicated expression, and sighed deeply.
Chen Zhangfu deeply regretted his decision. If he had firmly followed Ye Cheng back then, he would be managing Ye Cheng's crayfish farm now, while Ye Cheng was already harvesting his crayfish and Chen Zhangfu was facing bankruptcy.
After parting ways with Duan Yong, Ye Cheng didn't rush back, but instead walked along the beach.
He wanted to find a farmhouse inn, since this place is by the sea, and a farmhouse inn opened by the sea would definitely attract a lot of customers.
However, getting too close is not an option, as the tide will flood the area, and the soil near the sea is also relatively loose, making it difficult to build a house.
Actually, the best option is to use the original house, so that you can not only enjoy the natural scenery but also experience the culture of the fishermen.
After looking around, Ye Cheng found a place he liked: three abandoned old houses.
These are all houses where people used to live. Later, I don't know if they moved to the city or what happened, but no one lived there anymore, and they were completely abandoned. Now they are full of weeds and cobwebs.
Most importantly, the house is made of earth and wood, so it's not exactly an antique, but it has a lot of historical feel to it.
City dwellers love watching this kind of thing when they visit the countryside.
If we fence off this abandoned house area and turn it into a large yard, then build trellises and plant some climbing plants in the yard, it will not only have a rural atmosphere but also provide shade.
Moreover, this place is not far from the beach; it's only a few minutes' walk away, making it convenient for customers to go beachcombing.
Looking left and right, Ye Cheng was very satisfied, but he didn't know whose homestead this was or whether it was wasteland in the village. He would have to ask Chen Jinhai about that.
Ye Cheng didn't remember to ask, deciding to wait a couple of days.
The next day, Ye Cheng got up and checked the system.
Luck value: 90+20
Points: 1900
Savings: 280,000; Foreign debt: 10,000; Mortgage: 300,000
Wow, this luck stat is interesting.
It's probably some big shipment.
Ye Cheng got up, ate the mutton soup that Widow Zhang had brought, and set off feeling warm all over.
When we arrived at the dock, it was still quite early, only 7 o'clock. Unexpectedly, we saw Zhu Liwen and Zhu Lao Er squatting there waiting.
