He chatted with his friends and found a business opportunity. He raised big geese.

In the past year, Li Yuexi was so busy that the phone kept ringing on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. "most of these calls are from southern customers asking if there are any goose eggs or goose meat at home," he said.

In the winter of 2014, the laid-off workers of the former flour mill in Jiyang County can now be called "farmers" of geese. They found business opportunities in the chat of friends, and then raised geese after on-the-spot visits. Now, after more than a year of groping, he is gradually on the right track.

A friend asked the goose egg that he saw a business opportunity.

"do you know who sells goose eggs around here?" One day in 2014, Li Yuexi, who had just left home, was grabbed by a friend. My friend said that I heard that goose eggs are high in nutrition and want to buy them for children to eat.

Li Yuexi said that usually he has some "connections", and because he knows a lot of things, most of the villagers come to ask themselves what they have. However, the friend asked himself this question.

"if you think about it, there really don't seem to be anyone selling goose eggs around." At that time, Li Yuexi suddenly thought, "if you have a need, why not raise your own geese?"

After popping up this idea, Li Yuexi went to the Internet to find relevant information. After learning that goose eggs and goose meat have high nutritional value, Li Yuexi became more convinced of his own idea.

Li Yuexi said that after learning this, he went to Jiyang to visit goose farmers, but unfortunately, most of these people have changed careers to other jobs. But from these former farmers, he found that they all lost a lot of money because of raising geese.

"A few years ago, public awareness was not good enough. Goose meat was even cheaper than chicken. Of course, goose breeders had to pay for it. But in recent years, the price of goose has been significantly higher than that of chicken. " Li Yuexi said that after the visit, he found that the road of raising geese to get rich is now completely feasible.

Put together a thousand goose seedlings and ran for several places.

Jiyang, Shanghe, Zhangqiu, Leling. In the following period of time, Li Yuexi traveled almost all over Shandong Province in order to find good goose fry. Everywhere he went, he asked where there were big goose farmers.

He said that a large goose farmer in Shanghe once warned himself that in order to avoid being deceived, he had better buy his own goose eggs and incubator and hatch the goose seedlings.

Following the advice of the big goose farmer, he bought an incubator that could hatch more than a thousand goslings at once, ready to hatch himself. However, the question is, where to buy goose eggs?

Based on his previous visits, he found it difficult to buy more than 1000 goose eggs from one place. "finally, I bought more than 700 from Shanghe and more than 200 from Jiyang."

Success! Not only the goslings but also the peacocks are hatched.

The incubator was bought and the goose eggs were collected, but the rest was left to hatch the goslings. Facts have proved that Li Yuexi is lucky because he succeeded at once.

Li Yuexi said that I was not sure before hatching. I set the parameters of the incubator step by step in accordance with the steps introduced on the Internet, but fortunately, I finally succeeded.

Since then, a month later, the goose has grown up slowly. Then, considering his future development, Li Yuexi bought an incubator that could hatch 3000 goslings at a time.

Watching the goose grow up day by day, Li Yuexi had a new idea. "there are only geese in nearly 100 mu of open land, which is somewhat monotonous." He thought, buying some peacock eggs and hatching the peacock.

As soon as the idea popped up, Li Yuexi became a little impatient and quickly put it into action. Then he bought 10 peacock eggs from the south and tried to hatch them in an incubator.

"out of ten peacock eggs, there are seven little peacocks." Li Yuexi is very satisfied with the results of such experiments. But before the warmth dissipated, the peacocks died one by one.

Speaking of which, Li Yuexi felt a little sorry. "at first we didn't know what peacocks ate, so we fed them with fish and meat, but one by one we starved to death." He said that when he finally checked the data, he found out that this kind of peacock ate worms when he was young.

Most of the eggs are "southward". The northern citizens' acceptance is low.

On the day of the interview, there was only one of the seven peacocks hatched by Li Yuexi. The peacock seems a little unsociable with a large flock of geese. When he saw someone approaching, he hid under the car and refused to come out. Li Yuexi said that now peacocks grow up and find food on their own.

At Li Yuexi's farm, the reporter saw that the periphery of the farm was artificially dug ditches, and flocks of geese went into the water from time to time. On the farm, many geese walk up and down the woodland, and the north-south sink runs through the whole forest farm.

The reporter learned that at present, there are nearly 10, 000 geese on Li Yuexi's farm, which can lay more than 1000 goose eggs a day. Although there is no shortage of sales at present, Li Yuexi said that eggs and meat are mostly "robbed" by southern customers.

He said that goose meat and goose eggs are rich in nutrients, but judging from the current situation, people in the south are more "knowledgeable" than those in the north.
