Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

After the spring ploughing in the village was over, Xia Chan's family started building houses and digging fish ponds. Xia Chan has prepared two hundred chickens, ducks and geese each. They are still young, so they are raised in the yard at home. Once everything here is cleaned up, they can be moved there directly.

Chickens, ducks and geese are really cute when they are young, small and furry. Xia Chan bought these from outside. They are very cheap, just a few cents each. If they were to be bought inside the space, it would be more expensive. She also couldn't check how much savings from her previous life was left, but she had used them for several years, so there must not be much left, so she decided to save as much as possible.

She only bought two pairs of grey geese and lion-head geese, and let them breed on their own. There were so many quails, rabbits, and pigeons in the yard that she didn't have to spend money on buying seedlings.

In order to prevent the proliferation of these things, Xia Chan also found a partner in the vegetable market to supply him with goods. When the chickens, ducks and geese he raised grew up, they would have to be sold outside, so he still had to find someone to help.

She lives in the countryside, and it takes time for her to go to the town or the county town. It is not realistic for her to set up a stall by herself, so she might as well find someone to cooperate with!

The state-owned restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives have now been taken over by private individuals and turned into private enterprises. No one wants the rabbits from the Yong'an production team anymore, and the rabbits cannot be sold, so the village has lost a source of income.

The team leader found Xia Chan and asked him if he had any good ideas. Xia Chan asked him to convene a meeting of all villagers and let everyone come to the farm to wholesale rabbits and sell them, giving everyone an equal opportunity to make money. Moreover, everyone had savings and capital.

After the meeting, diligent people went to the farm to wholesale a few rabbits and sold them in the city. If they could be sold, they would continue to wholesale, which also relieved the pressure on the farm.

Rabbits have such a strong reproductive capacity that if they are not sold, the farm will not be able to raise so many rabbits.

Everyone wholesales rabbits and takes them to the city, where they set their own selling prices. They can raise the price appropriately based on the prosperity of the area.

Xia Chan also reminded the team leader that they could cooperate with the meat canning factory to produce canned rabbit meat. Both cold rabbit and spicy rabbit head are delicious.

Many people don’t refuse to eat rabbit, but they don’t know how to prepare it. But if someone prepares it well, just like canned meat, which they can eat right after opening it, can they resist trying it?
Xia Chan is very busy and has little time to go down the mountain, so the village cadres have to talk to the food factory about these matters themselves. Anyway, Xia Chan is only responsible for providing solutions.

Since she is not the director of the farm, she will not sacrifice her time to work for everyone.

Su Yu will graduate and be assigned a job this summer, and Jin Pengfei and the two children will be back by then. Xia Chan will occasionally go to Jin Pengfei's house to clean up, so they can move in at any time. Now they just have to wait for them to come back.

There are a lot of things on the mountain in this season. Summer cicadas are on the mountain every day. People enjoy picking wild vegetables and mushrooms. If they don't sell them all, they can exchange them with vendors. And when winter comes and these things are no longer available, their prices will go up.

Summer cicadas also go to the hills with bamboo forests and pick bamboo shoots to their heart's content. Villagers also pick them, but they pick fewer and take them back to feed pigs.

They don’t know how to eat bamboo shoots in a more delicious way. They always think that bamboo shoots are very unpalatable and don’t eat them at all.

Xia Chan also drove a tractor to the forest at the junction of the town and the county town to pick bamboo shoots. There were a lot of bamboo shoots there, and they were bigger than the ones in their village.

After all, that place is far away, so the summer cicadas only go there every few days. We must give the bamboo shoots space and time to grow!

There is also a bamboo forest in the courtyard. The bamboo shoots are really big and tender. Xia Chan would go there to pick bamboo shoots when she rests at night. She would peel the bamboo shoots and blanch them in water. Then she would make some pickled bamboo shoots, some dried them, and some kept them for fresh eating. When everyone came into the courtyard at night, they would help Xia Chan to deal with these things. After all, the money earned would be divided equally among each household, so they would naturally work together, otherwise they would feel embarrassed to share the money!

Vegetable greenhouses are now gradually becoming popular, and there are vegetable greenhouses everywhere, so people don’t lack vegetables to eat in the winter. However, no one grows seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, so when these things are unavailable in the winter, you can still make money.

Xia Chan had his own plan in mind. It didn't matter even if he couldn't sell them. At worst he could just keep them in the space for a few more years. When these things were really valuable, he could take them out and make more money.

Especially for wild mushrooms, after more than 20 years, the most common ones will cost more than 100 yuan per kilogram, and the rare varieties will sell for several hundred yuan per kilogram. By then, if they go into the mountains for a while every day, they can earn 1,000 yuan a day. It is definitely better to live out your retirement in the countryside than in the city.

When you retire in the city, if you don't have a job when you are young, you will have no pension when you are old. You will then rely on your children for money. If your children have money, they will give you more. If they don't have money, they will give you less. Your retirement depends on other people's moods.

Therefore, summer cicadas still prefer to retire in the countryside.

In the blink of an eye, it was already May. The cherries planted next to the bamboo house had begun to ripen slowly, but not many were ripe. The summer cicadas picked the red ones and shared them with everyone.

Xia Chan regretted planting two cherry trees because there was not enough cherry to eat. The seedlings that had been transplanted elsewhere were not yet ready to bear fruit and would need to wait another two years.

There are not enough cherries to eat, so Xia Cicada naturally doesn’t want to sell them. There are too few kinds of fruits on the market, so it’s better to let your family eat them first!
Xia Chan also bought ten bayberry trees and ten mulberry trees and found a place to plant them near the yard. Fruits can bring her more economic benefits in the future, so planting fruits is a good choice.

She also wanted to grow them outside, but the climate outside was not suitable for growing these fruits. She could only grow some northern varieties, namely sugarcane. The seeds she bought were all specially selected northern varieties. If she bought the wrong seeds, she didn't know if they could be grown.

Almost all the fruit trees planted on the hill have survived and have grown new leaves, but this is the first year, so don't expect them to bear fruit and make money.

But Xia Chan has made a lot of preparations this year, so he is not in a hurry to plant the fruit trees on the hill.

There are also many people in the village who learn from Xia Chan. Seeing Xia Chan raising these things, they also raise them. Xia Chan owes so much money but is not afraid of losing money. They have their own capital, so what is there to be afraid of?

Xia Chan didn't care. These weren't the main sources of her income anyway. She could get a large sum of money in dividends every year. She just didn't want to tell anyone!

Do you really think that only honest and simple people live in the countryside?
In the 21st century, many people go to the countryside to contract land and start businesses. Even if they grow pumpkins that no one eats, there will be people who steal them. They don't eat them, they destroy them and prevent others from making money.

If others knew that Xia Chan was so rich, would they really not do anything shady?

Xia Chan deliberately told others that she had borrowed so much money from the Xiao family because she didn't want others to bother her, so that she could earn money in peace. People's jealousy should not be underestimated. (End of this chapter)
