Rural people are poor, rural people are miserable, if you can find a way to help the villagers get rich, Hou Lihua will definitely not let go. The production process of tofu is not complicated, and many people can make zuò at home. Moreover, the soybean yield in Shuling Township is indeed very high, and now the general practice of the villagers is to keep enough for their own use, and other soybeans are sold to the grain station, and the purchase price of a pound of soybeans is only three or four cents. And the price of a pound of tofu can also be sold for three or four cents. You must know that 30 catties of soybeans can make 100 to 110 catties of tofu, so that after processing, the value of soybeans will immediately increase three or four times.

"So, the sales of tofu are not a problem?" Hou Lihua looked at Zhu Daidong with a longing face, just now it was Zhu Daidong who recommended the tofu factory to him, but now the situation has quietly reversed, Hou Lihua is going to pull Zhu Daidong to help him build a tofu factory.

"If Secretary Hou doesn't believe it, we can go to the city together on Sunday, you can make some dried incense at home first, and we will sell it together, and then you will have a better experience." Zhu Daidong smiled, he was very confident, as long as Hou Lihua really went to the farmers' market in the city to see it, he would definitely be tempted.

"Okay, ** also said, there is no right to speak without investigation, so we will go this Sunday?" Hou Lihua's dark face was as smiling as a flower, and Zhu Daidong was willing to go to the city with him, and he was also going to sell dried incense, which made him even more sure that this young man was not a man who only talked but did not do.

"Dad, this tofu factory costs forty or fifty thousand yuan, don't be too happy." Hou Yong saw his father's eyes shining, and reminded him kindly.

"Where can there be output without input? As long as you can make money, the village can afford to collect these 40,000 or 50,000 yuan! Hou Lihua glanced at his son and snorted.

"Dai Dong, can we invest a little bit first, wait until we see the benefits, and then expand reproduction?" Hou Dang interjected on the side.

He didn't talk much at the wine table, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have opinions, in fact, he is a pretty smart person. The most important thing is that he has perseverance, otherwise his family's house would not have been built. Although Zhu Daidong only met him for the first time, he also had a good impression of him. Now seeing him ask such a question, my heart is even happier, smart and persevering, coupled with prudence, the tofu factory in Houjiatang Village will have a leader in the future.

"It's okay to start with family-based production, which is purchased and sold by the village, but in this case, the cost will be higher." Zhu Daidong thought about it, if the villagers have scruples, this is also a compromise method, the only thing that needs to be invested may be the wooden box and plank for tofu, these things are not available in every house, and if they are sold in a unified manner, the specifications must be unified.

"It's okay if the cost is higher, as long as you can sell it, even if it doesn't make money at the beginning." Hou Lihua nodded, you can test the water first, as long as there is a market, and then let the villagers raise funds, he doesn't have to bother with this branch secretary. Otherwise, forty or fifty thousand yuan, although his prestige as a branch secretary in the village is also high, it is not easy to convince everyone.

"But there is one thing that must be bought first, that is, the paddle grinding machine, and the villagers can't be allowed to use the stone mill to grind the oars, right? This is too time-consuming, and it is said that there is not enough stone mill in the village. Zhu Daidong said again.

"Okay, the paddle mill will be bought by our family first, and if we set up a factory, we will convert it into the factory." Hou Lihua made a decision on the spot, and this matter was decided.

After eating, Hou Lihua immediately summoned the village cadres to a meeting, first unifying their thinking, as long as they were persuaded first, then they could talk and then persuade the villagers. Because Zhu Daidong was the de facto initiator, Hou Lihua also invited him to join the village committee.

"Let me introduce you to the people, this one is the secretary of the township government, Xiao Zhu, Zhu Daidong. Today, I received a notice from the township that Xiao Zhu was promoted to director of the enterprise office. He came to our village today to discuss with us about the village's collective enterprise. Hou Lihua pulled Zhu Dai in front of everyone and introduced.

In addition to Hou Lihua, the other four are Hou Satisfied, an accountant, Hou Jianguo, a militia company commander and deputy village director, and Liu Dan, a women's director. Hearing that this young man was a cadre in the township and a director, their eyes were suddenly full of awe, and they all applauded in unison.

Zhu Daidong hurriedly smiled at everyone and shook hands and greeted everyone, but soon, he automatically retreated to the back, today's meeting is the villager committee of Houjiatang Village, not his Zhu Daidong's inspection work report meeting, the protagonist is Hou Lihua.

Next, it became a separate introduction by Hou Lihua, and his prestige in Houjiatang Village was as high as the sun was in full swing, and Zhu Daidong was in the battle today, so the other committee members did not raise any objections. The reason why Hou Lihua has high prestige is because he thinks about the interests of the villagers in advance, acts fairly and honestly, and has never let others say half a word of gossip for decades.

This time it was the same, first he personally went to the city with Director Zhu to inspect the market, and even brought a little dried incense to sell. Then the villagers were organized to produce at home, and only after the results were seen did they officially raise funds to set up a factory. The risk that the villagers need to take may be the dozens of catties of soybeans and a dozen or so wooden boxes and planks. This is also within the acceptable range for the villagers, if the tofu is not sold, can it be taken back and eaten at home? Those wooden boxes and planks will also be used to make tofu at home in the future, and they also save borrowing from others.

And the biggest investment in this is the paddle mill, but Secretary Hou bought it out of his own pocket, if he doesn't set up a factory, even if he is private, even if he runs a factory, even if he buys it in the factory. No one else can say anything about this way.

The next day, Hou Lihua was ready to hold a villagers' meeting, Zhu Daidong came back with Hou Yong first because he had to go to work, and after last night's village committee, Zhu Daidong knew that in Houjiatang, as long as Hou Lihua nodded, this matter was basically nine out of ten. Now what he has to do is to help Hou Lihua contact the sales department of the paddle mill, thinking that he is going to the city on Sunday, Zhu Daidong focuses on contacting several machinery sales departments in the city.

In the morning, Zhu Daidong "heard" Liu Wei's voice in the township government, Zhu Daidong drank more than five bottles of high-quality Lao Baigan last night, he felt that this wine was completely worth the price, one night, a box of wine was gone, he wanted to find Liu Wei to buy a few more boxes. These wines can't be bought in the market, and the taste is almost the same as Wuliangye, if he didn't have so much money on hand, he even wanted to buy all the high-quality Lao Baigan in all the inventory of the distillery.

Zhu Daidong was about to go to find Liu Wei, and suddenly "heard" his footsteps heading towards Yuan Ping's office, and Zhu Daidong, who had already walked to the door, stopped again, he wanted to buy wine, and he had to wait for someone to finish his business first.
