There is a way to start a business in the mountains. Local chickens wear a "QR code".

Original title: Chengdu Longquanyi post-90s boys return to their hometown to raise chickens and put a "QR code" on each chicken.

At 8:00 on October 19th, the warm autumn sun shines through the mist on the mountain forests, farmhouses, paths and yellowed woods in Jinlong Village, Luodai Town, adding flavor to the deep mountains of autumn.

Group 3 of Jinlong Village, when the morning smoke rose from the farmhouse, Lai Qingli had already returned to his chicken farm from the field with a basket full of green vegetables on his back. "take advantage of the early morning, beat some green vegetables leaves, let the chicken chicks eat more fresh green materials." Lai Qingli was smiling. He squatted among the bamboo groves and whistled, and the chickens slowly gathered towards him. Lai Qingli scattered the vegetable leaves, attracting a dark flock of chickens.

Since he quit his job and returned home in June this year and joined his brother in Chengdu Township to raise chickens in a professional farmers' cooperative, Lai Qingli has not slept in. At the age of 25, his face was full of vitality and his words were full of energy. "No matter how wonderful the outside world is, it is not as good as my hometown. The mountains and rivers in my hometown are all treasures. These are my entrepreneurial resources." Lai Qingli said, throwing the remaining handful of vegetable leaves at several black native chickens standing on the trees, which fluttered their wings and ingeniously pecked at the vegetable leaves hanging from the branches.

Be determined

The post-90s boys quit their jobs and start a business in the mountains.

The first rooster crow every morning is the alarm when Lai Qingli gets up.

Lai Qingli is a post-90s student who majored in design in college. After graduation, he went to work in Beijing, Jiangsu, Shenzhen and other cities. His last job was at Foxconn. After working abroad for many years, Lai Qingli's biggest feeling is: "Life in a big city looks beautiful."

Lai Qingli calculated that he and his wife both worked in ordinary enterprises, and their monthly wages added up to almost no savings, excluding rent and living expenses.

"We are all so young that we can't keep floating around like this. I still want to make my own career." Lai Qingli thought it over, and instead of working hard in a foreign land, he might as well return to his hometown to start a business. However, although there is the idea of returning home to start a business, it takes a lot of courage for the idea to become a reality.

Why are you going back to your hometown to start a business? The first thing that comes to mind in Lai Qingli's mind is the green hills of his hometown, the idle land, and the native chickens scattered behind the house.

"even if people in the city have money, they cannot buy native chickens and eggs. Qualified native chickens must have a market, and raising chickens may be a good project." Lai Qingli's idea was supported by his wife and reminded by his parents: "if you want to think clearly, it is not easy to start a business, and this road is not easy."

He made up his mind that in June this year, this young man, who had walked through many big cities and experienced modern urban life, resolutely gave up the prosperity of the city, returned to his hometown willingly, cleaned up the old house that had been vacant for many years, and built a chicken cottage. bent on becoming a "farmer" in the mountains.

Be not afraid of hardship

Go up the mountain every day to pull herbs for native chickens.

"these herbs are all pulled from the mountains. If the chicken eats heat, it is not easy to get sick." Lai Qingli carried a basket of herbs from his old house, grabbed a handful, and threw it to the local chicken looking for food in front of him. "I didn't know anything about raising chickens a few months ago, but now I've learned to pull herbs to feed chickens. I go up the mountain every day to pull baskets for these chicks."

After returning to his hometown, Lai Qingli bought 800 five-black chicken seedlings in one breath. This kind of chicken has black hair, black crown, black feet, even the internal organs are black, and the meat is more delicious than ordinary native chickens.

"I feed all green vegetables and leaves and miscellaneous grains, and these chickens don't touch a single grain of feed." Lai Qingli planted green rape and pumpkins on his land and uncles' idle land, and every day he would drive the chickens into the vegetable field and peck at the green vegetables. After the rain, there was a mountain spring on the mountain. Lai Qingli used a hose to connect the mountain spring water to the chicken coop for native chickens to drink.

Lai Qingli regarded the 800 chickens as his treasure. Except for going out to buy food for the chickens, he seldom left the mountains and forests. "these chickens are very timid, but they are very wild and like trees. Once more than a dozen chickens stood on a branch and crushed the branch, so that some chickens dared not go up the trunk again. " Lai Qingli already knows very well about the living habits of these native chickens.

Love to use the brain

Every local chicken has a "QR code"

"each chicken wears an anklet with a QR code printed on it. By scanning the code, you can find out the feeding and epidemic prevention of each chicken." Lai Qingli gently walked up to a local chicken, grabbed it, and showed the anklet on the chicken's feet to the reporter. "it's like a hoop spell. Once you put it on, you can't take it off."

Lai Qingli loves to use his brains in raising chickens. In order to raise chickens better, he moved the broadband to the woods of his hometown, making it convenient for him to check the knowledge of raising chickens on the Internet at any time. In addition, under the guidance of the cooperative, he learned the knowledge of aquaculture and epidemic prevention, and often went out to learn the advanced breeding experience of farmers from other places.

Lai Qingli also prepared new "recipes" for native chickens by studying on the Internet. He mixed Tu Yuan, which is common in the rural hearth, with wheat bran for chicken consumption. "the egg shell hatched by Tu Yuan, as a chicken feed additive, can advance the laying period by 20 days, and the laying rate will be higher." Lai Qingli has been able to say a lot about how to raise chickens scientifically.

This is the first batch of native chickens raised by Lai Qingli, and he is very confident. In two months' time, the native chicken will begin to lay eggs, and the co-operative has already helped him solve the marketing problem, and he is not worried about the market. In the next step, Lai Qingli also wants to use the recovery funds to expand the scale of breeding and take the entrepreneurial road of characteristic breeding and ecological cultivation.

"you see, that piece of land is empty, and it's a pity that there is no one to breed. Next, I'm going to make use of all the wasteland in the village. The mountains are full of my chicken coops." Lai Qingli helped the broken glasses frame wrapped in transparent tape, and his young face was full of self-confidence.
