The Spring Festival is approaching, and Liangcun has become more lively.

The farmers have worked hard all year long, so they point to the Spring Festival to take a good rest, and wait until the Spring Festival to make a living in the fields. Those villagers who returned to their hometowns from working abroad also took this opportunity to call friends and have dinner and drink, which can be regarded as a reward for their hard work for a year.

In winter, it is a traditional habit of farmers in Liangcun to burn a hot pot and drink some millet wine at home, talk about this year's harvest, and imagine the next year's vision.

In the countryside, there are not many entertainment activities, and the greatest pleasure of the villagers is to discuss some things lively, lively and warm under the slight drunkenness of alcohol.

This year, although many villagers will be busy working in the vegetable field by the lake during the day, in the evening, everyone still resumes the original tradition, and at night they will draw their fists and guess the code, which is very happy. In addition, the improvement in income this year has also made the villagers more in the mood to hold various dinners.

With the holding of various gatherings, many changes about the village were also passed on to more villagers through word of mouth. In the past six months, the overall changes in Liang Village have begun to touch the string in the hearts of the villagers, and the outstanding performance of several villagers has become a typical example of getting rich, which is a great encouragement to the villagers.

Liu Rui's magical performance made the villagers feel a little unattainable, coupled with some rumors about Liu Rui's grandfather's hidden gold, let the villagers know that many of Liu Rui's successful experiences are not something that can be replicated casually.

In addition to the cultivation of vegetables, tomatoes, fruit trees, etc., and agricultural production industries, the villagers thought that they could gain experience from them and could successfully experiment, and other industries were automatically blocked by the villagers.

Investing in a recreational farm at a grain station not only requires sufficient funds of its own, but also requires a partner with a strong background. The villagers think that these conditions are not suitable for them now, and at most they have some envy of this, and they will not blindly participate in it.

As for the vigorous development of Liujia Distillery, the villagers are even more envious and have no way at all.

Villagers who are a little older know that Liujia Distillery has existed in Liang Village for hundreds of years, and although it has gone through wind and rain, it is still standing. Although the Liujia Distillery used to produce the most resistant bulk rice wine, this did not prevent the villagers from trusting it. Now that the market conditions are ripe, the Liu family has launched higher-quality rice wine products, and the success is expected.

Without a secret recipe for brewing and no brewing experience, it is not easy for other villagers to replicate the success of the Liu family. Therefore, the villagers are very sensible, and after seeing the success of the Liu family, they will not follow the trend and develop the brewing industry.

However, the successful experience of the Liu family's fruit trees and vegetable cultivation still makes the villagers happy, because the Liu family has opened up a successful path for many villagers that can be replicated.

Although Liu Rui's tomatoes suffered heavy losses due to freezing rain that has not been encountered for decades, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the villagers to prepare for the vigorous development of special planting after the beginning of spring. Some villagers followed the technicians invited by Zhou Guodong to learn various techniques for growing tomatoes, while more villagers also sought opportunities to plant more cash crops.

Liu Rui didn't know that among the various industries he worked hard to build, the planting industry had the greatest impact on the villagers.

In addition, Wang Shaozhang's entrepreneurial success has also stimulated many villagers, especially childhood playmates of the same age as Wang Shaozhang.

Most of Wang Shaozhang's playmates went to Guangdong to work after graduating from junior high school, although it seems that they can save some money, but the bitterness is not enough for outsiders. This time, when I returned home for the Spring Festival, I saw that Wang Shaozhang was able to start a business and earn money at the door of his home, and his partners were not envious of it.

Especially Yang Zhan, who has been working for several years, has earned some money, but he still feels like a rootless duckweed, floating back and forth in the tide of part-time work. Yang Zhan is twenty-two this year, and according to the practice in the countryside, the matter of marriage has also begun to be put on the agenda.

If you are alone, it doesn't matter if you work outside, but after you get married and have children in the future, there will be a lot of trouble when you go out to work. If you can earn money at your doorstep, you don't have to travel far to work. After all, working is not a long-term solution, no matter how hard the workers work, one out of a hundred people can become a city person.

Tonight, Yang Zhan asked his old man to catch a goat from the family's flock and carefully cook a whole sheep banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

The warm mutton bone soup, the delicate mutton and the smooth and delicious mutton blood all made the relatives and friends present full of praise. As for the rice wine brought by Wang Shaozhang, although it is not as good as the one brewed with space spring water, the rice wine brewed by the Liu family's craftsmanship and koji is still mellow and delicious.

After relatives and friends were almost dispersed, Yang Zhan left Liu Rui and Wang Shaozhang behind and began to ask about entrepreneurship.

"Brother Zhan, what is the matter with leaving us so mysteriously?" Seeing that only himself and Liu Rui were left on the table, Wang Shaozhang said to Yang Zhan with a smile.

Wang Shaozhang is not a stupid person, as soon as he looks at Yang Zhan's posture, he knows that he has something to discuss with Liu Rui. However, for a while, Wang Shaozhang didn't understand what was going on with Yang Zhan?

"Shaozhang, Liu Rui, I don't want to go out to work after the Chinese New Year!" Seeing that Wang Shaozhang and the eyes of the two were staring at him, Yang Zhan said something that surprised Liu Rui and the others.

In the past, Yang Zhan was the most enthusiastic person in the village about going out to work, and he must say how Guangdong is. In the past, when he returned to his hometown for the holidays, Yang Zhan's words were all about describing all the beautiful things in Guangdong, which made many people yearn for it. Many of his peers in the village went out to work because of his depictions of the outside world.

In Liang Village, many people think that even if everyone doesn't go out to work, Yang Zhan will be the exception.

However, today Liu Rui and Wang Shaozhang heard Yang Zhan personally say that he didn't want to go to work, and for a while they thought that their ears were hallucinating.

"Brother Zhan, you're not joking, are you?" Wang Shaozhang's eyes widened and he looked incredulous.

"You're not going to shake us, are you? Can you give up the outside world? Liu Rui also showed no sign of believing it at all, and shook his head.

"What? Am I the kind of person who can't work at home? Seeing that Liu Rui and the others didn't believe it, Yang Zhan suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Yes!" Liu Rui and Wang Shaozhang are in unison.

"Is that how I look in your minds?" Yang Zhan touched his forehead with his left hand, looking defeated.

"Yes, indeed!" Wang Shaozhang nodded and said: "Who told you to depict the good situation of Guangdong every time you come back, and people who don't know still think that you are from Guangdong, and say that Guangdong is like heaven!" ”

"Now that you suddenly said that you want to stay at home, Brother Shaozhang and I really can't believe it for a while!" Liu Rui took over the conversation and agreed.

"I know I'm exaggerating a bit before, but you can't look at people with old eyes, can you?" Facing the staring eyes of the two good partners, Yang Zhan had no choice but to surrender with both hands.

"I saw you preaching the benefits of going out to work a few days ago, why did it change so much all of a sudden?" Wang Shaozhang saw that Yang Zhan's expression did not seem to be fake, and asked a little puzzled.

Don't say before, even this morning, Wang Shaozhang saw Yang Zhan and a group of people talking about the benefits of going out to work under the big banyan tree. Now that it was night, Yang Zhan's mind had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, how could he not make Wang Shaozhang feel strange?

"People's minds always change! Besides, these changes are brought about by you and Liu Rui! Yang Zhan also knew that if he didn't tell the reason, the two partners would not believe him.

"The two of us brought it?" Liu Rui seems to understand a little.

"That's right!" Yang Zhan nodded, and then said: "Since returning to the village, rumors about the two of you starting a business have been spreading in the village, how can you not make me moved?" ”

After doing it for a long time, Wang Shaozhang and Liu Rui finally knew that the cause of the incident started from themselves, but they couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then you stayed in the village and thought about what to do?" Liu Rui suddenly understood Yang Zhan's thoughts a little, and asked.

"Not yet, why don't you two stay tonight, let's discuss, what do you think I should do if I stay?" Yang Zhan helplessly spread his hands and asked Liu Rui.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Shaozhang fell into deep thought all of a sudden, and the fingers of his right hand tapped rhythmically on the table.

Liu Rui also knew that this question was difficult to answer, so he didn't give an answer quickly, but began to use his brain.

Liu Rui is quite clear about the situation in the village, knowing that now most of the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, and many livelihoods in the village have been abandoned. Although Liangcun has now reached a critical stage of development and take-off, there are not enough manpower, and no matter how good the development opportunities are, they cannot be transformed into development advantages.

Liu Rui naturally hopes that more villagers will join the ranks of building Liang Village and developing the family economy, so that the development of Liang Village can be more orderly. Now Yang Zhan took the initiative to ask to stay, which not only made Liu Rui happy, but also made him need to consider it more carefully.

Wang Shaozhang and Yang Zhan represent two completely different groups, and their success in starting a business in the village will affect the judgment and choice of many villagers, so it is natural to be cautious.

Wang Shaozhang's entrepreneurial process, Liu Rui supported the whole process, and gave considerable support in technology, capital and customers, so Wang Shaozhang was able to gain a firm foothold in a short period of time.

Wang Shaozhang's initial success has given confidence to many people who have not yet gone out to work, and more people have set their sights on the market around them. At this time, the villagers of Liang Village suddenly discovered that it was not that there was no room for development in their hometown, but that they had not discovered it.

As for Yang Zhan, he represents the group of villagers who have been working in other places for a period of time. If Yang Zhan can succeed in starting a business in his hometown, the significance is more typical than Wang Shaozhang's case, and it can influence the views of the villagers.

"What kind of project should I find?" Liu Rui was also a little worried, Yang Zhan's affairs were only allowed to succeed and not fail, so Liu Rui had to act cautiously.

If Yang Zhan succeeds, the demonstrative significance goes without saying; If it fails, it will make more migrant workers even more reluctant to return to their hometowns to start businesses.

"Huh?!" When Liu Rui's gaze froze on an ingredient that kept turning in the hot pot, there seemed to be a thin film in his heart that was about to be pierced.

What Liu Rui saw was a piece of tofu as white as jade, which was constantly rising and falling in the soup, looming, as if it was Liu Rui's inspiration.

The people live on food!

According to Liu Rui's understanding, even if you can't make a fortune when you make food these days, you won't lose money easily. If it can be developed properly, it will not be difficult to enter the well-off in the future.

"Brother Zhan, it seems that your family used to make tofu?" Liu Rui tried his best to recall it in his mind and asked.

"That's right! How did you remember to ask this? Our family hasn't made tofu for several years. Yang Zhan nodded and asked a little strangely, "Do you suggest that I start making tofu again?" It's hard to get up in the middle of the night to grind tofu! ”

Thinking of the experience of being driven up by his parents to grind tofu and shake soy milk during the holidays when he was a child, Yang Zhan shuddered a little, and quickly shook his head and said.

"Brother Zhan, have you forgotten that this is the era of electrification, and there is naturally an electric mill for grinding tofu, which saves a lot of trouble?" Liu Rui looked at Yang Zhan's somewhat frightened look, and said with a smile: "Making tofu is a bit hard, but it is better to be stable, and you have technology at home, so you can try it." ”

As the saying goes, cooked is not raw.

Liu Rui knew that Yang Zhan didn't have much capital, and if he rashly suggested that he enter a field with a huge investment amount and was completely unfamiliar to Yang Zhan, it would not help him, but harm him.

Liu Rui remembered that the Yang family's tofu has always been a well-known good quality in Liangcun and even Qingyun Town, but because of some changes in the past few years, the Yang family ended this business. Now Liu Rui feels that it is also a very good choice to let Yang Zhan restart the operation of the tofu factory.

The profit from making tofu and selling it should be good, and the okara can raise pigs, which is actually a project with a good prospect. Of course, it is unrealistic to point to the tofu mill to be able to get rich, but there is a good chance for a well-off.

"Xiao Rui, I'll tell you the truth, when we used to make tofu at home, the profit from the year plus the money from selling pigs was also worth 8,000." Seeing Liu Rui's suggestion, Yang Zhan did not blindly object, but explained: "However, our family of three has to get up at four o'clock in the morning, and after making tofu, we have to set up a stall in the town to sell it, and you know the hardships of it." ”

Liangcun is located in the tropics, and if soy products are not sold out on the same day, they can easily become rancid and cause waste. Therefore, every day before dawn, the Yang family has to get up to make tofu, and take advantage of the morning to send it to the market in the town to start selling it, which is indeed very hard.

"That's a problem!" After listening to Yang Zhan's explanation, Liu Rui understood the difficulty.

If tofu is still making a fuss according to the previous retail model, Yang Zhan might as well return to Guangdong to continue working.

"Xiao Rui, you have a wide range of people in the county, you go and ask if you can go wholesale like your rice wine, which is very promising!" After listening to Liu Rui and Yang Zhan's words on the side, Wang Shaozhang suddenly came up with such a sentence.

"Go wholesale?!" Hearing this, Liu Rui and Yang Zhan's eyes lit up.

If they can go wholesale, the Yang family can focus on production instead of being distracted from sales. In addition, although the price of wholesale is a little lower, it is better than the quantity, and the overall profit will not be very low.

In the past six months, Liu Rui has established good relationships with practitioners in many industries in the city through various industries. Since this period of time, many vegetable wholesalers have come to Liangcun to buy vegetables, if you help the Yang family match, let these vegetable wholesalers buy the Yang family's tofu, should be able to help the Yang family solve a big problem.

When he was a child, Liu Rui had eaten the tofu of the Yang family, and knew that the tofu made by the Yang family was better than many people's, as long as Yang Zhan could always maintain that quality, it would not be a problem to open the market in the county.

"I'll take care of the wholesaler in the county, now it's up to Brother Zhan if you want to!" Liu Rui thought for a while and gave a reply.

Those vegetable wholesalers often come to Liangcun to buy vegetables, and they also understand Liu Rui's energy in Liangcun. If the quality of the Yang family's tofu is not bad, these wholesalers should not refute Liu Rui's face. However, the crux of the problem still has to fall on Yang Zhan, after all, making tofu in large quantities is not an easy job.

"If you can introduce me to a wholesaler, I'd give it a try!" After pondering for a while, Yang Zhan nodded and made up his mind!

Perhaps it was Liu Rui's magical performance during this period of time that made Yang Zhan have a high degree of trust in his words, and agreed to Liu Rui's suggestion without much consideration. As for the hard work of making tofu, in Yang Zhan's opinion, it is not necessarily as hard as on the assembly line.

On the assembly line of the factory, Yang Zhan felt that his nerves were tense all the time and could not relax at all. Because once you relax, you will make mistakes, you will be deducted from your salary, and the pressure on your body will always be irremoval.

If you go home and do it yourself, there is a hard side, but after all, you are much freer. According to what Liu Rui said, the tofu produced is wholesaled to vegetable wholesalers in the county, which not only makes a lot of money, but also does not worry about it, so why not do it?

In this way, at the dinner table filled with the aroma of mutton and rice wine, Yang Zhan, under Liu Rui's suggestion, decided to restart the old business and re-operate the Yang family's tofu factory.

Sometimes, when people's minds change, they make very decisive decisions. Most of those who twist and hesitate have not yet made a decision in their hearts, so they will show indecision.

Liu Rui and Wang Shaozhang's entrepreneurship stimulated Yang Zhan, and also gave him more confidence and passion for starting a business in his hometown, so he also joined the ranks.

The power of example is always endless!
