After the survey was completed, it was almost noon. The heat in the mountains gradually subsided, and Yu Bai and Zhou Fengxia walked down the rugged path, taking one step forward and one step back.
Most of the villagers had just returned from the fields, and were either gathering under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air and chat, or packing up farm tools at their doorsteps.
Seeing the mother and daughter coming back from the back mountain with empty hands, without even a backpack, they couldn't help but feel curious.
At this time of year in the past, there were many mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountain, and every villager who went up the mountain would return with a full load.
"Fengxia, Xiaobai, didn't you get anything from going up the mountain today? Look at you guys coming back empty-handed."
Zhou Fengxia was a straightforward person, and at the moment she had a big plan in mind. She was even more excited when she heard the words. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said loudly:
"Hey, we're not going to pick snacks! Xiaobai and I have already discussed it and are going to tidy up the back mountain and raise chickens!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the village entrance, which was originally a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then even louder discussions broke out.
"Raising chickens? On that mountain?"
"Fengxia, you're serious, right? That mountain is just filled with trees and rocks. How can we raise chickens?"
Raising chickens in the mountains is not without precedent in recent years. Some families rent a mountain and engage in ecological farming, and they have made some money.
What surprised the villagers was not this, but the situation of the Yu family.
"Fengxia, didn't your third son Yu Nian open a big supermarket in the county? His business is booming!"
"Logically speaking, as a mother, why would you go into this mountain valley and suffer this hardship instead of going to the supermarket to help?" someone asked quickly, with a hint of confusion in his words.
Zhou Fengxia can't just tell the truth, right?
She said that the chickens she raised at home had become like spirits since Xiaobai got some "special" things from them. The eggs they laid were more valuable than those from other chickens. Did she discover a huge business opportunity?
If you say this to others, you will be considered a lunatic!
She had already thought of her words, with a smile that was both mysterious and proud:
"Hey, Mrs. Li, you can't say that."
"My Xiaobai is quite capable. He's hooked up with a big boss out there. He's taken a fancy to our beautiful place and wants to partner with us to build an ecological chicken farm! It's going to be large-scale, and the eggs we produce will be sold to big cities!"
"I'm just thinking that Xiaobai is a young girl, how can she do everything by herself? As her mother, I naturally have to help out a little and keep an eye on things!"
This is not entirely made up.
Ever since he tasted the sweetness of the last accidentally "mutated" pig, Yu Bai has been thinking about large-scale breeding.
It just so happened that Zhou Fengxia herself was also thinking about raising some chickens, so Yu Bai took advantage of the situation and shifted his target from pigs, which were difficult to operate in the short term, to chickens, which were easier to operate.
She had already discussed the initial idea of "cooperating with a big boss" with her mother a long time ago, but this "big boss" was herself, and the real "core technology" was the spirit gathering array.
If not, why would Zhou Fengxia be so excited?
If you really just want to raise a few chickens in your own yard to lay eggs, why would you need to go to so much trouble to open up the mountains, build roads, and install electricity and water?
It was precisely because Yu Bai painted a beautiful blueprint of "golden chicken laying golden eggs" for her that she was so excited and wanted to make a career in the mountains immediately.
