rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 243 Who thinks whom is a fool?

"Bella~come here!"

Mentougou, a chicken farm, Chen Li squatted half-crouched and opened his arms.

Then a large black and yellow dog wagging its tail jumped into Chen Li's arms.

"Don't be afraid~Bella is very well-behaved and sensible. You can touch her!"

Chen Li comforted Bella who was a little excited and looked at Liu Qingqing who was far away and said.

"Does it really not bite? Why does it grow so fast!"

"I remember the last time I came here, it was still a puppy. How did it get so big?"

Despite Chen Li's assurance, Liu Qingqing was still a little afraid. She walked behind Chen Li, peeked her head from behind Chen Li's shoulder and looked at the changed German Shepherd.

The last time Liu Qingqing came to the chicken farm was during a social gathering at the chicken farm.

At that time, the German Shepherd had just arrived at the chicken farm and was still a two-month-old puppy. But now the German Shepherd is almost five months old and is almost the same size as an adult native dog in the countryside.

"Bella~! Sit!"

Chen Li made a gesture to give the order, and German Shepherd immediately sat down obediently.

"Handshake~!"

Chen Li stretched out his right hand again, and De Mu also put his paw on Chen Li's hand.

"So good!"

Chen Li rubbed Bella's head and fed a piece of beef to the German Shepherd.

"It's really good. Can I try it?"

Behind Chen Li, Liu Qingqing is eager to try. She is the kind of person who likes dogs but is afraid of them.

"Of course~ Come and try."

Wang Jianjun on the side smiled and handed a piece of beef to Liu Qingqing.

As a former hunter in Wangjiacun, Comrade Wang Jianjun has his own experience in training dogs.

"Uncle, you won't blame me if you can't go back to celebrate the New Year this year, right?"

Chen Li looked at Wang Jianjun with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

There is no way, the chicken farm is here, and someone must watch it. The scale of the chicken farm today is still small, so Chen Li did not recruit anyone else.

"I blame your claws? It's not like you didn't pay us wages."

"But after the New Year, you're afraid you'll have to recruit some people?"

"The scale of chicken farms is getting bigger and bigger now. What kind of white-feathered chicken is it?"

"The dog days grow up so fast!"

"I still think there's something wrong with that feed?"

"Not only white-feathered chickens, but also native chickens grow very fast."

The chicken farm has been open for nearly three months now. As the manager of the chicken farm, Wang Jianjun is very clear about the situation of these chickens.

It was not the first time that Wang Jianjun told Chen Li about the chicken growing too fast.

In fact, after the first month, Wang Jianjun was almost frightened by the growth rate of the white-feathered chicken.

At that time, he suspected that there was something wrong with the batch of feed that Chen Li purchased, so he called Chen Li in a hurry.

White-feathered chickens are indeed not a rare thing in today’s breeding industry.

But Wang Jianjun really had not had much contact with this thing before, because the chickens raised in Wangjia Village were all local chickens.

Later, Chen Li explained for a long time, and even found a bunch of information about white-feathered chickens and showed it to Wang Jianjun, and the uncle reluctantly accepted it.

But even accepting this requires a process. Anyway, Wang Jianjun still feels that something is wrong.

"Haha~ No problem!"

"This is a new breed developed by another Shennong company. I only got the chicks through connections."

Regarding this issue, Chen Li had already made preparations. If there was any problem, he could just refer it to Shennong Company.

"This new breed is still needed~Chickens do grow fast, but the meat is also delicious."

When it came to eating, Chen Li's aunt from the kitchen shouted.

"The meal is ready, come over and eat."

"Let's go~! We went to eat. What we have for lunch today is the chicken we raised."

Wang Jianjun clapped his hands and invited Chen Li and Liu Qingqing to eat.

"Ah~ I haven't fed the dog yet."

Miss Liu held a piece of beef in her hand and looked at Chen Li eagerly.

"Oh~Bella, come here!"

Chen Li smiled, called the German Shepherd over, and then instructed Liu Qingqing to start feeding the dog.

"Sit~!"

"Handshake~!"

"Down~!"

"Stand up~!"

"Wow~! Uncle, you taught Bella how smart she is!"

Chen Li taught Liu Qingqing a few gestures and passwords, and then Liu Qingqing was surprised.

"Haha~ It's not that I taught him well, it's that this dog is really smart."

"Some things, if I teach them two or three times, they will understand them themselves."

"This is indeed much smarter than a native dog."

"Okay~ let's go eat first!"

When we came to the chicken farm, we naturally ate chickens, but we couldn’t eat yellow-feathered chickens yet, so we had a feast of white-feathered chickens for lunch!

Half of the white-feathered chicken is used for stew, and half of the white-feathered chicken is used for braised. Don't tell me that even if the white-feathered chicken after this improved system is used to stew chicken soup, it will not taste worse than the local chicken sold outside.

"After the New Year, please invite two more people and we will expand the scale."

"You don't know, a lot of people come to our chicken farm to buy local chickens recently."

"Look~ I found this this morning."

At the dinner table, Wang Jianjun took out a business card from his pocket.

"Boss Wang seems to be quite rich, and the car he drives is nice (big)!"

This Boss Wang is said to be the owner of a private restaurant in Yanjing City.

"There's no rush~! White-feathered chickens can be sold, but for native chickens we'd better wait until the new year."

In the first three months, Chen Li just wanted to familiarize Wang Jianjun and his wife with the breeding process and accumulate breeding experience.

So at the beginning of the chicken farm, there were only 600 chicks, 500 yellow-feathered chickens, and 100 white-feathered chickens.

Three months have passed and the chicken farm has not bred new yellow-feathered chickens.

Although the number of white-feathered chickens has not increased much, that is because chicken farms now only sell white-feathered chickens.

Boss Wang came here after eating white-feathered chickens from a chicken farm at a relative's house.

As the chef and owner of a private restaurant, Boss Wang is not very interested in white-feathered chickens, but is quite interested in the batch of yellow-feathered chickens in the chicken farm that are about to mature.

After systematic improvement, the growth time of yellow-feathered chickens has been shortened to four months!

This is actually an exaggeration! You must know that generally speaking, the growth time of native chickens is almost six months to one year.

Even in some farms, the breeding time of native chickens is at least four to six months.

Although the yellow-feathered chickens that have been systematically improved have been raised for about four months, the meat quality is completely different from the four-month-old native chickens from other farms.

"Okay~ You are the boss and you have the final say."

"Shall we drink?"

Wang Jianjun brought a wine bottle from the table next to him and looked at Chen Li blinking his eyes.

Okay~ Because she has to take care of the chickens in the chicken farm, Chen Li's aunt doesn't let Wang Jianjun drink more.

Chen Li finally arrived, and Wang Jianjun naturally wanted to have a good time.

"Okay~ Then drink some, but don't drink too much."

"Hey, don't drink too much. Try the medicinal wine I brewed. This is Chinese medicine I specially went to Tong Ren Tang in the city."

"Fangzi was brought out of the army by your old comrades."

"It's just that some medicinal materials can't be obtained now! Otherwise, this medicinal wine can strengthen the body and treat arthritis."

What Wang Jianjun said is not nonsense, it is the truth.

Chen Li's father used to be a soldier in the northwest, where the wind and cold were severe in winter. Anyway, Chen Guofu later contracted rheumatoid arthritis.

It is said that at the worst time, Chen Guofu couldn't even get out of bed when it rained.

Later, one of Chen Guofu's comrades brought him a prescription and medicinal materials. It was said that Chen Guofu's comrades got the prescription from a Chinese medicine expert in a sanatorium.

After that, Chen Guofu brewed two bottles of wine according to that recipe, and his rheumatoid arthritis was really cured.

But now this recipe has no meaning, because the most important medicinal ingredient in that recipe can no longer be found through legal means.

That’s right~ That thing is tiger bone!

However, even if there are no tiger bones, the medicinal wine made from this recipe still has some effects. This effect can only be understood but cannot be explained!

So ~ Chen Li refused directly.

Are you kidding? He and Liu Qingqing are innocent now. He was already a little unable to bear it, but he still drinks like this? Isn't that causing trouble for himself?

In the end, the medicinal wine was replaced with Sanbai. Chen Li was not picky about wine. As long as it was not fake wine, it would be fine.

"Auntie~ This is your and uncle's salary this month."

"By the way~ And this is the holiday fee."

"The total is three thousand yuan!"

Halfway through the meal, Chen Li took out the red envelope and handed it to his aunt instead of giving it directly to Wang Jianjun.

"Ah? So much? Isn't it a thousand a month?"

Chen Li's aunt was stunned. She and Wang Jianjun's current salary was five hundred yuan a month, which added up to one thousand yuan a month.

Usually, Chen Li pays for their living expenses, so they are actually quite satisfied with this job.

"Are you spending money recklessly again?"

Wang Jianjun's eyes widened and he tried to teach Chen Li like an elder.

"What does it mean to spend money indiscriminately? One thousand yuan is salary."

"The remaining two thousand is the year-end bonus! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"And you are not the only ones who have this year-end bonus. Every staff member of the fried chicken restaurant has it. If you don't believe me, ask Qingqing."

Chen Li was not afraid of his uncle and glared back.

"Yes~Brother-in-law~Auntie, everyone has it, just accept it!"

Liu Qingqing nodded, indicating that Chen Li did not lie to them.

"Hey~ You kid said you didn't spend money randomly. There are a lot of people in your store right now. I'm afraid there are more than ten or twenty of them?"

"How much money do you need to give out like this?"

"A thousand for one person. Hiss!"

Wang Jianjun quickly made a calculation, and then started chewing his teeth.

"Give me your cell phone, I want to call your mother!"

Wang Jianjun stretched out his hand directly towards Chen Li, preparing to start the complaint mode.

Chen Li was speechless! This classmate Wang Xiaobao is in his thirties, why are he still resorting to complaining?

Of course, this matter is true, because Ms. Wang knew about it.

Chen Li took out his cell phone and was about to hand it to Wang Jianjun, but as soon as he took it out, the cell phone rang.

Chen Li was stunned and looked at the caller ID. The call was actually from Zhou Xiaoli.

"Hey~Sister Li, what's the matter?"

Chen Li quickly answered the phone and began to wonder why the young lady called him.

Of course, this matter is actually not difficult to guess. Last night, he just mentioned the matter of letting Zhou Xiaoli and Su Mei buy shares. At this time, Zhou Xiaoli's call was probably because of this matter.

And the fact was just as Chen ideally expected, Zhou Xiaoli's somewhat excited voice came from the microphone.

"Chen Li~! I have decided, I want to invest in your fried chicken restaurant."

"But it's not 200,000 yuan. I want to invest 300,000 yuan. You give me 30% of the shares."

"By the way, Su Mei also wants to invest, she wants to invest."

"Du~dudu!"

In a high-end community in Yanjing City, Zhou Xiaoli was stunned for a moment when she heard the beep coming from the phone. Then she redialed!

"The number you dialed is currently on a call!"

"Huh? Who is this guy talking to on the phone?"

Zhou Xiaoli was puzzled and put down the phone in her hand.

"What's wrong?"

At the other end of the sofa, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses who looked polite was holding a newspaper and looking at his daughter.

There was a hint of smile in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he concealed it very well!

"The phone was hung up. He was talking to someone else over there. Maybe he was busy. I'll call back later!"

Zhou Xiaoli shook her head and didn't take it seriously!

Five minutes later, the sound of a call came from Zhou Xiaoli's cell phone again, and Zhou Xiaoli's lips began to pout.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Xiaoli still hadn't called Chen Li's cell phone. Miss Zhou's temper began to rise.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Xiaoli started to explode. The girl was already gnashing her teeth.

"Chen Li~What are you doing?"

"Pa~!"

A mobile phone was thrown over, and the middle-aged man on the other side of the sofa shook the newspaper in his hand and said directly without raising his head:

"Try to make a call on my phone!"

"Um?"

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli still didn't realize that something was wrong. She really thought that Chen Li was busy talking to someone else on the phone.

So Zhou Xiaoli didn't understand what her father meant at the moment! But she still picked up her father's cell phone and dialed Chen Li's cell phone number!

"Du~!"

"Hello? Who is this?"

When Zhou Xiaoli heard the familiar voice on the phone, her head felt "buzzing".

"Chen Li~! How dare you not answer my call? You are dead! I will never rent a store to you again."

This is probably the only trick Miss Zhou can use to threaten Chen Li, but it works!

"Ahem~! Then when I answered your call just now, I dropped my phone."

"The battery fell out, I just put it back in!"

Chen Li drank Sanbai and ate the braised chicken nuggets that Miss Liu picked for him.

"Huh? Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Zhou Xiaoli suspected that Chen Li was lying to her, but she had no evidence.

"Ouch~ Why did I lie to you? You are my landlord, can I lie to you?"

Chen Li's somewhat lazy voice came from the phone, and Zhou Xiaoli didn't notice that her father had quietly moved closer to her.

This is probably a common problem with mobile phones these days. Even if you don't use hands-free, the sound can still come out through the microphone.

So as long as you are closer, you can basically hear it clearly.

"Oh~ that's right! You're not that brave either!"

Zhou Xiaoli nodded, and then changed the subject to the previous topic.

"Then, did you just hear about my investment with Su Mei?"

"Chen Li~20% of the shares are too small. Su Mei and I can only get 10%."

“And wouldn’t it be possible to develop better with more money?”

Zhou Xiaoli took a half-day off today and ran home to discuss the matter with her father.

The result of the discussion was very good~ Zhou Xiaoli’s father not only agreed to her investment this time, but was even willing to pay more.

"I heard it~ But Sister Li, this is a small business and I don't need that much capital."

"Two hundred thousand is enough, any more is useless!"

"You also know that we only have so many people in the store and we can't train them at all."

"So, it's useless if you give me two million! One or two branches still need to be opened. It doesn't mean that you can open more branches if you have more money."

Chicken farm. Chen Li praised his wit in his heart.

In just ten minutes, he came up with a seamless interface, and Chen Li gave himself a thumbs up in his heart!

But at this moment, Zhou Xiaoli was a little unhappy.

"Why are you like this? I give you money, and you're still not happy?"

"And my dad said that we must get at least 30% of the shares, otherwise we will not invest."

Zhou Xiaoli didn't notice that the father next to her suddenly laughed.

"Well"

"30%? Ahem~ Actually it's not impossible!"

"If it's 30%, it's not the previous standard."

"Hmm~ Forget it~ Since you are my landlord, give me 1.2 million!"

"You two, 1.2 million ~ 30% of the shares!"

Chen Li's voice on the microphone was silent for a few seconds, and then rang again.

But Miss Zhou was almost angered to death by Chen Li's words.

Two hundred thousand can be exchanged for 20% of the shares! But now it’s 30% of the shares. Chen Li actually asked her for 1.2 million?

"Chen Li~ You think I'm a fool, don't you?"

Miss Zhou got mad and shouted directly into the phone microphone.

"Sister Li~ It's not that I treat you as a fool, it's you and your father who treat me as a fool!"

"Uh~ you may not understand. Ask Uncle Zhou for details! He should understand."

"Du~du~!"

Zhou Xiaoli suddenly froze when the busy signal came from the handset of her mobile phone, then turned to look at her father who had almost moved to her side.

"dad?"
