Village Chief Li asked in surprise: "Execution? Is it that serious?"

Chief Xu shook his head. "It's hard to say. Arson is a serious crime. If the fire is not put out in time, it will be a disaster."

Director Xu has a lot of things to do, so he has to go back and get busy.

Village chief Li seldom comes to the factory. When he was strolling around the factory, he was very curious when he saw the fire truck converted from a diesel three-wheeler.

"Xia Lian, is this for firefighting?"

"When we were planting ginseng last year, some places needed watering, so we used tricycles to fetch water. Later, we welded the water tank onto the tricycle. This vehicle can fetch two tons of water and is equipped with a gasoline pump. When connected to a hose of several dozen meters, it can spray more than 20 meters, and the water supply is sufficient."

"This vehicle will sell well. You can ask the Forestry Bureau. Fire prevention is a headache every winter and spring. Large fire trucks are expensive and easily get stuck in bad roads. Three-wheeled fire trucks are small and can be used everywhere. I think the Forestry Bureau must need them. Isn't it easy to get a big order?"

"The village chief has a sharp eye. OK, I'll tell Liu Daqiang about it later. But this kid has become obsessed with the micro rice transplanter recently."

"I didn't realize this bald guy is so talented. If the research on the micro rice transplanter is successful, it will be a big deal. Transplanting rice every year is a very troublesome task."

Liu Xialian thought for a while and said, "Fire prevention is a headache for our village every spring and autumn. I will drive two fire trucks to the old school yard for the village to rescue as soon as possible if something happens."

"Okay, that's great. I'll go back first and curse on the loud speaker. There are always some people with bad intentions who are jealous of others making money."

"I'm sending the village chief back. How is your winery doing?"

"It's open. It's in the county's industrial park, not far from the garment factory. It's called Lijiatun Liquor. It makes pure sorghum liquor. It's already sold in your restaurant."

"Really? I don't know."

"The supply and marketing cooperative sent it in, but it's not selling very well. You need to think of a solution."

"If you want to sell liquor well, you still have to rely on advertising. With proper advertising, good quality and repeat customers, sales will slowly pick up."

Liu Xia Lian drove Village Chief Li back to Lijiatun and arrived at the fire scene. Zhao Hua and the workers had already cleaned it up. The goose shed of dozens of square meters was gone and the remaining geese were also moved. In fact, the loss was insignificant. What made her angry was why these people were like this. If there was a conflict and you wanted revenge, that would be understandable. But if there was no conflict and they were simply jealous of you making money, that is really incomprehensible.

Li He, the person in charge of the goose farm, also came. He still had to maintain his attitude and apologized to Liu Xia Lian. In fact, it was not his fault, but he was the manager of the goose farm after all.

"Li He, you and I have been raising geese for several years now, but we have worked hard but haven't made much money. Can you leave the village?"

"Of course I can. Why not? My child is in junior high school and my wife is farming."

"Okay, I plan to open a breeding farm of 10,000 goose breeders over at the forest farm, with an annual hatching capacity of about 500,000. You will be responsible for selling chicks and developing the market. You will make money from selling eggs, chicks, and geese. I will give you a monthly salary of 300 yuan, plus a commission of 5% of the net profit. How do you feel about that?"

Li He was very happy. This was a huge fortune. Here he was responsible for raising geese. His superior was Sister Guilan. His monthly salary was a little over 100 yuan. In the new place, not only would his salary be 300 yuan, but he would also receive a commission of 5%. Of course, he would be responsible for more things.

"If we release 500,000 geese and assume an 80% growth rate, wouldn't that mean we will have to collect 400,000 geese? Can a slaughterhouse produce that much now?"

"Of course not. Don't worry. We can't collect that many. Many people keep them for stewing during the Chinese New Year. It would be great if we can collect 200,000. Slaughterhouses now mainly rely on small vendors to supply geese. Goose farms also operate in the same way. Large breeders will directly connect with you, while small-scale individual farmers will still connect with vendors. Old geese are expensive, while seed geese are cheap. Each has its own advantages. Selling young geese and recycling old geese will bring an annual profit of at least one million in a few years. By then, you will have an annual income of about 50,000 to 60,000. Can you do a good job?"

Li He nodded heavily: "We will definitely be able to complete the task. I am a little worried. What if the farmers sell the seedlings we release to other vendors?"

"Don't worry too much. After the goose chicks are released, the goose chicks raised by farmers will hatch on their own, so the impact will not be too great. What's more, I'm talking about at least 10,000 breeding geese. If the development is stable, 30,000 to 50,000 breeding geese will also be possible. By then, the profits from goose eggs and goose chicks alone will be amazing."

Li He is an old goose farmer, but he has learned a lot from Liu Xialian. The goose farm is still doing well. The large-scale batch breeding is mainly Northeast white geese, which are small in size, with male geese weighing about 8 kilograms and female geese weighing about 7 kilograms. They are supplied to restaurants for iron pot stewed geese and roasted goose rice. The goose seedlings supplied to farmers are basically purchased from old geese, so the more valuable lion-head geese are released. This kind of goose can grow to 17 or 18 kilograms in the Northeast. If it is an old goose over three years old, the profit can be at least tripled if one is purchased and shipped to Guangdong.

"I see. Okay, when do we start building the goose shed?"

"Thaw it out. You're still in the village these days. Go to the forest hatchery in about half a month."

Li He went to work, and Zhao Hua came over and said, "The old woman's family just came. Her son and daughter-in-law came to apologize and took a thousand yuan. I didn't take it. I guess they will go to look for their mother."

"It's okay, don't worry about him for now. If we forgive him so easily, it would be indulgence. We must control him."

Village chief Li started broadcasting on the village loudspeaker, and he began to curse.

"I am very sad about what happened yesterday. Our village has always been very united, and we have done many great things together. We built schools and asphalt roads. We went from barely having enough to eat to having surplus food in every household. Every household has a few thousand yuan in their savings account. These are the contributions of the village leaders, but more of them are the contributions of Liu Xialian. Some sell vegetables to the provincial capital, and some sell corn to the south. It is not easy for a girl to travel all over the country. Do you understand the hardships? When you can't sleep at night, touch your chest and see if you have benefited? Not to mention our village, even the entire county has become richer because of the kimchi factory."

"When drinking water, remember its source. When drinking water, never forget the well digger. If you have any problems or are dissatisfied with something, you can confront them in person. Doing things behind their backs is stupid. Murder and arson are serious crimes, and you will be punished with peanuts. Wake up. I don't want our Lijiatun, which has always been united, to become disunited after becoming rich. Do we feel comfortable if we don't have enough to eat and warm clothes together?"
