Halfway there, he stopped the car by Lord Yu's side. The group walked downstream along the river bank, and before long, Liu Yan saw Zhang Yiming standing at the front of the dike, looking in their direction. He didn't say anything as he made sure it was Liu Yan and turned to leave.

"Heh, he's really sensible." Liu Yan was secretly delighted.

Arriving at the front of the dike, Liu Yan saw that the water here was calm and clear, with rows of bamboo along the riverside. Liu Yan also noticed a spot where people often came to fish.

"What a great place..." Old Man Zhou sighed, "How deep is it here? What kind of fish are there? "

"It should be on my shoulders now. There are carp, catfish and carp, but the most delicious one is the yellow bone fish. The wild nutrition is also high, so it can be used for diuresis and reducing swelling." He was extremely familiar with the fish here, and he went down to fish quite a few times.

"Grandfather will not eat it. They are all just here to have fun. He said that the fish in the river are naturally raised, and should not enter our stomachs." Zhou Qian giggled.

"I see." Liu Yan chuckled. He wanted to retort, but he felt that his words made sense. As an old man, his reverence for life was much higher.

Beneath the bamboo forest was a shady area. A layer of colorful grease could be seen floating on the surface of the water near the shore. Under the waterway in the middle, a few fish the size of a palm could be seen swimming around.

"Yo, someone is sleeping here. Let's go somewhere else." Master Yu looked and said.

Liu Yan said, "This is where I got people to build a nest in advance. Let's give it a try. If you put down the rod, you should fall for the fish."

"Young man, you're so sensible." Grandpa Li praised him and then began to prepare.

Since they were fishing here, it wouldn't be good for Liu Yan to disturb them. He reckoned that the village would be bustling with noise and excitement.

"Do you want to stay here and fish?" Liu Yan looked at Zhou Qian. Although it was a hot day, she didn't look like the popular t-shirt and denim shorts on the streets. Instead, she wore denim pants, which highlighted her slender and straight legs.

"Qianqian, stop accompanying us old guys. Let Liu Yan take you to their village." Old Man Zhou spoke.

Liu Yan bitterly smiled in his heart. Why did he feel like the old man was giving them a chance to get along? However, he already had a girlfriend. No matter how attractive and outstanding Zhou Qian was, he would not be tempted by her.

"Let's go take a look around the village. My girlfriend is already admitted to university, South Sea Finance Academy." Liu Yan grinned, and once again mentioned his girlfriend to Zhou Qian. He couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.

"No need, I'll go fishing with them here. I want to play too." Zhou Qian smiled and shook her head.

"That's fine too. I'll pick you up later. It's rare to be able to come here. Eat a meal here before returning." Liu Yan was a little disappointed, but he still extended an invitation.

"Mm, let's talk about it later. Go and busy yourself."

After returning to the village, all the villagers that he met along the way came up and asked Liu Yan about raising chickens. Right now, the entire village knew that Xi Shi and Liu Erzhu had raised chickens in the mountains, so they raised a lot of chickens without making any mistakes. The profit was also very high.

"Then let's think about it a little more. There's no rush." Liu Yan chuckled. In the countryside, raising thousands of chickens could already be considered a big industry. Although their hearts were moved, they were more worried about the risks because of their honest relationship with each other.

Liu Yan had already explained the risks to the villagers and worried about them. Liu Yan wanted a decisive person who could see the business opportunities. At the very least, they would be more proactive in breeding.

When he arrived at Zhang Xiaohua's house, Liu Erzhu was there as well as two other villagers were chatting about raising chickens. The moment Liu Yan arrived, the two villagers pulled him to a seat, asking about raising chickens.

"Where do you think there's a problem?" Liu Yan directly asked.

"Is it really marketable? We don't need to find a client ourselves, do we? " a man asked.

"You just need to be in charge of raising the chickens. I will handle the rest."

"Erzhu said that if you raise a thousand chickens, the two in-laws could raise more than twenty thousand yuan a month. Is that true?"

"Won't you know once you try?" Liu Yan retorted.

"There's no certainty. How could I dare to try? Nothing will come out of the compensation." The other party smiled in embarrassment.

Liu Yan also smiled. He knew this family, and they didn't have much land of their own. He wouldn't consider letting the other party raise chickens, even if he wasn't a very diligent person.

"Then go back and think about it. There's no rush."

After the two villagers left, Xi Shi quickly said, "Liu Yan, my brother wants to raise him. Is that alright?"

"Where is he?"

"He Sha Town."

"After a while, let's start. The current market doesn't support too many breeding grounds." Liu Yan shook his head.

"That's fine too, leave a spot for him. He was experienced in raising ducks in the river before."

"Yes."

"I want to raise him, but he hasn't come back from work yet and no one answered his phone. I've already told his wife that she's quite willing." Liu Erzhu was anxious.

"No rush, wait for him to come back first." Liu Yan nodded. He was the younger brother of Liu Erzhu. He knew that driving a tractor was a relatively younger and more hardworking person.

After chatting for a while, the entire day had passed and quite a few villagers had asked questions. Those who were truly willing to raise one had yet to take the initiative to do so, so Liu Yan wasn't in a hurry to do so.

When the sky was about to turn dark, Liu Yan suddenly received a call from Zhou Qian. Only then did he remember that the three family members of the town's government were still fishing by the river.

"Hey, have you finished? Come to the village to eat, I'll come pick you guys up right away. " Liu Yan hurriedly said.

Zhou Qian laughed and said, "There's no need. We've already gotten on the car. Grandfather said that he doesn't want to trouble you. They fished to their heart's content today and will be back tomorrow."

"Alright, then I'll have to stay here for dinner tomorrow." Liu Yan didn't force him to stay.

After dinner, Liu Erzhu dragged his brother Liu Gen to his house to make tofu.

Upon entering, Liu Erzhu said, "Liu Yan, you are willing to raise him. Are there any more placings?"

"Aiya, I was out working during the day and didn't even know about this. I wanted to work together with you before this." Liu was a stocky, dark-faced man with a tractor, who had been helping people with their livelihood. His wife was farming at home, and he had a pair of children.

"Have you decided? "As long as you've thought it through!" Liu Yan was delighted.

"That definitely won't be a problem. As long as we can make money, it's fine as long as it's hard as it is." Liu Gensheng was very confident.

"Alright, it's a deal then. Just like uncle Erzhu, I will pay for the breeding ground. The rest will be deducted from the profits, so there's no need to take on any risks."

"Sure!" The two brothers immediately nodded.

Following which, Liu Yan began to train Liu Gensheng again. The content was actually very simple. The pair of tofu users and Liu Erzhu were already familiar with each other. After giving a few explanations, Liu Gensheng more or less understood the situation.

The next day, after returning from the breeding ground and eating breakfast, in the middle of the morning, Liu Yan called for the brothers Zhang Yimin and Liu Erzhu to take a walk around the hills near the village under the scorching sun. Finally, he decided to use the Rooster Ridge at the end of the village as his breeding ground.

After discussing for a while, Liu Yan immediately contacted the manufacturer of the plastic net and ordered the materials. He then asked Zhang Yiming to go to the village and call on the people who had built the breeding ground earlier to start work.

After lunch, even though the weather was hot, it was still unable to withstand Liu Gensheng's enthusiasm. He wanted to go to the breeding ground, and Liu Yan was happy as well. What he wanted was this kind of enthusiastic villagers.

Walking around the breeding ground and chatting with a few people, Liu Gensheng listened very seriously and asked quite a few questions, causing Liu Yan to feel even more satisfied.

"It's basically fine. I'll get Zhao Jianguo to help me contract the Rooster Ridge. When the materials arrive, we'll start working." Liu Yan grinned from ear to ear.

After returning to the village, Liu Yan took the money and went to the village committee. This time, he saw that Zhao Jianguo was playing cards here, smoking and blowing on the air-conditioning.

Seeing that Liu Yan had arrived, Zhao Jianguo did not bother to clean up the mess. He raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Rooster Ridge, I'm going to pack it." With a beaming smile, Liu Yan sat down and took out the money.

As soon as he saw the stack of money, Zhao Jianguo immediately put down the cards. He quickly went to the wall cabinet and rummaged through the map of the village.

"Rooster Ridge is a few acres bigger than White Snake Ridge, you want them all?" Zhao Jianguo showed Liu Yan a map with a beaming smile.

"It won't be a problem if you are able to make the decision here. I'm just afraid that my fellow countrymen will object."

Zhao Jianguo chuckled, "They have no objections. The land belongs to the Gong family. If they want to find another place to plant the cattle, they can go to another mountain to chop firewood."

"Alright then, I'll take all of them, let's settle the score."

"The position of the Rooster Ridge isn't bad, but seeing as you're doing business, I won't give you a higher price. Or do you want me to follow the rules of three hundred and one mu for fifty-two mu of land? Is that enough? "

"No problem." Liu Yan put on a nonchalant expression. In fact, he still wanted Zhao Jianguo to do more. The more ridiculous the agreement was, the more miserable his death would be.

"Good!" "That's straightforward enough. Aiya, I really like people like you." Zhao Jianguo was beaming like a blossoming flower as he hurriedly took the documents out, "Wait a moment, I'll sign the contract right away. It'll only take a few minutes."

Those who were able to play cards on the village committee were not hardworking people. Liu Yan couldn't be bothered to explain to them, so after a few words, he walked out.

At this moment, the phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was from Zhou Qian.

Liu Yan was overjoyed. Since they had signed a contract today, they definitely had to stay for dinner tonight. They had to explain the price of the land they were contracted to, and when they returned, Zhao Jianguo would vent his anger on them.

"Liu Yan, Grandpa and the rest have come to fish. Are you in the village?" Zhou Qian's voice was crisp and pleasant to listen to.

"Yes, is the old man here yet? I'll go wait for you guys."

"There's no need. Deputy Secretary Li is also here. He's going to find you and ask you about raising chickens."

Liu Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He looked behind him and noticed that he was on the village committee.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I know the way. I'll head directly to your village committee. Comrade Liu Yan, wait for me. I'll be there very soon." A middle-aged man's voice came over the phone. It was very thick and it sounded rather urgent.

"Good, good, good." Liu Yan hurriedly agreed. This was exactly what he wanted.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yan could not help but laugh sinisterly. At this moment, the card game in the office had not been cleaned up yet. By the time Deputy Secretary Li came over, Zhao Jianguo would be even more guilty.
