Best Son-in-law

Li Fan noticed the expression on Xia Menglan's face and roughly guessed what she was thinking. He explained with a wry smile: "This time we are just selling some experimentally, and the price may be more expensive, so we don't sell much, and the standard is not It’s different. Anyway, I think aquaculture in our village can be done, and I estimate that the aquatic product market will be in short supply in the future, so Village Chief Xia, you can safely encourage everyone to engage in aquaculture. Sooner or later, the eels raised in my fish pond will Gotta sell out.”

"Are you sure that selling more than 30 kilograms a day is considered a good thing? But speaking of which, more than 30 kilograms costs hundreds of dollars. If we sell like this every day, then our village must be a wealthy village." Xia Menglan pondered. , she thought carefully again, the eel fry are available in Laoshantun Houshanshuigou, and there is no need to go out to buy them. Most of the cost is basically spent. As long as you can feed them and spend some food money, it can be said to be zero cost. , now that Li Fan has experience.

It is completely possible for the villagers to reduce the cost to the minimum. In this way, the money sold belongs to the big guys. Since Li Fan said that the market in the town is okay, there is nothing to say, as long as the money sold is You won't lose money if you go out.

Moreover, Laoshan Lake, a large lake, is a treasure for the villagers of Laoshantun to make themselves rich.

She had originally thought about aquaculture, but she didn't know what to raise. When she saw Li Fan raising eels, she got the idea.

"How can this be sold like this every day? Otherwise, everyone is doing this. Our village has the advantage of our village. There are ready-made eels in the ditch behind the mountain. You can culture them after catching them, but it takes time, and You can’t catch too many from the Houshan River Valley. Once you finish catching the ecological balance of the ditch, you still have to catch some and leave some to let them grow. You can catch them again in the future. This way, the ecological balance of the Houshan River Valley will be achieved. It won’t be destroyed.”

"With ready-made eels, we have to learn how to breed them so that they can reproduce faster. This also takes time to accumulate, but it will be fine in the future. As they reproduce more and more, our aquaculture can also do it. It's getting bigger and bigger." Li Fan smiled.

"You mean to let some villagers contract fish ponds for eel farming first?" Xia Menglan's original calculation was to let all Laoshantun villagers engage in eel farming.

"Yes, if we do it all, it won't work. It's all good if we do aquaculture, but what if we lose money? There are risks in everything we do, and I'm not sure that everyone can make money, so there needs to be a process , Besides, even if you mobilize, every household may not do it. This is not a trivial matter. The previous village chiefs just liked to do some things in a hurry and asked everyone to do it. In the end, they were all scattered and the rest There is no one to clean up the mess. We are not in a hurry and let the few companies that are willing or interested do it. If nothing good can be done, the village can still compensate, so that the gap will not be too big."

"If it succeeds, it would be even better. If all the villagers are mobilized to work together, they will all make money, and our village will become rich." Li Fan expressed his thoughts.

"Yeah, that's right. You still can't act too hastily. You still need to think about this matter more." Xia Menglan nodded with deep approval.

"However, what I can guarantee is that the market in the town has opened up a bit now. Our village is not far from the town. There will be no loss in setting up four or five eel farming companies. Even if they can't sell it, they will not be able to sell it. I will accept all the restaurants that can be sold to me." Li Fan promised.

"Do you have to bear the risk?" Xia Menglan felt a little regretful. Li Fan played a huge role in the village. He worked for the villagers and provided money and effort. He could still bear the risk. ?

"It's okay. I need these things to open a restaurant. I won't lose money." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Okay, as you said, I will first encourage four or five families to do this." Xia Menglan nodded and said.

"Well, I still have great confidence in this aquaculture. This is just a market in the town. After the road is built, we can open up the county market and even the city market, and make it bigger and stronger step by step. "Li Fan is full of confidence.

"Then let's see who in our village is most likely to contract the fish pond?" Xia Menglan was worried. Contracting the fish pond was not a trivial matter. You had to sign a contract and pay money, and everything had to be done in a formal manner.

The villagers in Laoshantun are really too poor. The money they have is basically pension money or coffin books. It is basically impossible to use it to contract fish ponds, a risky thing.

Besides, the villagers were deceived by the previous village chiefs. Even if they trusted her and Li Fan again, it was basically impossible for them to contract the fish ponds.

These four or five are really hard to get together.

Li Fan was troubled after hearing this. He thought for a while and said, "Hey, there are many people in the village who believe in me. They should do it as soon as I tell them."

The first thing Li Fan thought of was Wang Erxi, Aunt Lianhua and the others. They had the best relationship with Li Fan, so he still wanted them to be the first to taste the benefits.

What's more, there is basically no risk for him. Even if he can't sell it, he will collect the eels they raise and give him a lot of money.

"Forget it, I'll bear the risk. Just tell them and let them do it." Li Fan thought to himself, planning to do the ideological work of Aunt Lianhua, Wang Erxi, and Uncle Liu when he went back.

Xia Menglan looked at Li Fan with shining eyes. When she was in the city before, she didn't feel this way about other men.

Practical, reliable, doing practical things, and responsible, Li Fan almost single-handedly changed the situation of the entire village.

Such a man has a special charm for Xia Menglan.

sense of security?

Xia Menglan's face was red. She didn't know what was wrong with her and why she was thinking so wildly.

"Let's go, Village Chief Xia, we have to get started as we say, and we need to start aquaculture right away." Li Fan waved to Xia Menglan and said.

He couldn't wait.

"Okay, let's go together." Xia Menglan followed.

Wang Erxi's home looked very dilapidated. His new home was lent to Li Fan to open a hotel, so he could only live in the old house.

Recently, Wang Erxi feels that his life is very fulfilling. In the past few days, he has been learning water and electricity work with Uncle Liu, and he has made great progress. He is busy every day, thinking about how to connect water and electricity.

Days like this seem particularly tiring than before, but they are also particularly fulfilling and satisfying.

Erxi's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen, and Wang Erxi was sitting in the living room watching TV. While watching TV, he hammered his sore shoulders, arms and legs.

Wang Erxi’s family is also particularly satisfied with Wang Erxi’s performance. In the past, Wang Erxi only knew how to hang around in the village, forming gangs, and saying nothing was useless. Now he knows how to work hard to take the right path, although life is a bit harder. Finally there is hope.

At the same time, Wang Erxi's family was particularly grateful to Li Fan. If it hadn't been for Li Fan, there might not have been Wang Erxi, so the old couple discussed the matter of renting the house together. They wanted to repay their kindness.

"Is Brother Erxi at home?" Li Fan called in from the door.

Hearing Li Fan's voice, Wang Erxi immediately stood up.

"Hey, Fanzi is here." Wang Erxi said happily.

Erxi Niang was also very happy after hearing this. They were also thinking of inviting Li Fan to their home for dinner and treating him well.

So Erxi Niang wiped her hands with her apron and came out.

Almost everyone came out to open the door.

"Fanzi, come in quickly, come on, come on, come on, my aunt will kill a chicken for you to eat, and open a bottle of wine, and you and Erxi will have a good meal." Erxi's mother didn't say any words of thanks, she just wanted to give Li a bottle of wine. Wherever good food is made.

"Aunt, I can't do it today. I have something to do today. After I come to your house to talk about it, I have to go to someone else's house to talk about it. Let's talk about it when I have time later." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Oh, don't you come to have a meal?" Erxi Niang wanted to greet Li Fan, but when he said something was wrong, she couldn't say anything.

"No, no, I'm going to discuss something with Brother Erxi today. Uncle and aunt, come too. Let's discuss it together. Village Chief Xia is also here," Li Fan said.

"Village Chief Xia is here too? Didn't you eat? Let's have a meal together?" Erxi Niang greeted Xia Menglan again.

"No, Auntie, we have something to do here. We can just go home and eat in a while. Don't bother." Xia Menglan also declined softly.

"Okay, come in, come in." Seeing that both of them were occupied, Erxi Niang said nothing more and greeted them into the house.

The three members of Erxi's family and Li Fan and Xia Menglan were sitting in a room.

"What's wrong with Fanzi?" Wang Erxi is now much calmer than before.

"Didn't I build a fish pond in the village?" Li Fan stopped talking and spoke straight to the point.

"The eels I raised were sold recently. They sold well in the town and the market demand is great. As you know, the soil in our village is not good and there are fewer crops like this than in other villages. So I thought about it. I wanted to do something else, so I discussed it with Village Chief Xia, and she agreed that we could try aquaculture."

Li Fan spoke and glanced at Xia Menglan.

Xia Menglan seemed a little reserved in front of Wang Erxi's family, smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"First of all, this project cannot be compensated, so I want to discuss it with you and let you do it. Contract fish ponds in the village and raise eels." Li Fan said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, the old couple looked at each other, and even Wang Erxi looked embarrassed. This was not a trivial matter after all, but it came from Li Fan's mouth, and he had no reason to refuse.

It's hard to refuse, and it's hard to agree. After all, I'm afraid of being poor.

But in the end, Wang Erxi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes: "Okay, let's do it!"

After hearing this, the old couple looked at each other and had no objection.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Brother Erxi, listen to me. I guarantee you won't be able to pay for this. Just raise eels. They can't be sold outside. If you sell them to my restaurant, I will accept them. They are needed for cooking. I will never do it." You will suffer a loss." Li Fan assured.
