No matter how the situation in the capital changes, it will not affect Fubao's happy little life.
When she came back, she discussed with Jiang Li how to open a tofu shop.
To establish a tofu shop, the first thing you need is land, the second thing is a relatively suitable environment, the third thing is people, and then other funds.
The two discussed for a long time and finally decided to go to Xujiacun.
Xujiacun is not too far from the capital. It would be faster if you take a carriage or ride a horse directly there.
What's more, there is Da Shuang who is very skilled in making bean curd. Da Shuang can serve as a core figure to guide how to make tofu shop later. She is diligent and smart, bold and careful, and very loyal. These are what Fubao and Jiang Li are considering.
internal quality.
Another point is that because Xujiacun has sold a lot of things to Baicaoyuan, the two parties have formed a very good cooperative relationship, and people from Xujiacun can also be invited to work in the Tofu Factory.
As for land, let's settle it with Better. Xujiacun has nothing but plenty of land. Choose a piece of land and buy it when the time comes to build a tofu shop. It will be easy for people in Xujiacun to go to work.
After much thought, Fubao and Jiang Li went to Xujia Village in person.
However, this time they did not go directly to Dashuang and Xiaoshuang, but went directly to the village chief's home in Xujia Village.
The village chief of Xujia Village is a scholar, and the only person in the village with such a high level of knowledge. Scholars are highly valued, so people in Xujia Village believe in and respect the village chief. Anyone who has any conflicts or has a naughty parent will like him.
If you ask the village chief for advice, he will always give a good solution. This makes the villagers trust the village chief even more.
The village chief's name was Xu Yongning. Jiang Li brought a pot of wine and some rice paper to the village chief's house.
Xu Yongning is an old man in long robes and white beard, with clear eyes and a kind face.
He had known for a long time that Jiang Li and Fubao were Xu Qingshan's bosses, and he had also seen the prosperous development of Xu Qingshan's family, and he had also seen that everyone in the village had saved some money by selling mountain goods.
So when I saw Fubao and the others coming, I warmly invited them in.
"Two distinguished guests, why are you here in person?"
Jiang Li smiled and handed over the daughter red and rice paper, "To be honest, Mr. Xu, we are here to discuss the future development of the village with you."
Xu Yongning's eyes lit up when he saw the fine rice paper, this is a good thing!
A piece of rice paper costs a lot of money!
There are at least ten sheets of rice paper here!
However, from what Jiang Li meant, it seemed that this visit had something to do with the entire village. Xu Yongning still smiled and rejected the gifts, "You don't have to be so polite. What do you think of the development of Xujiacun?"
Jiang Li: "That's right, you have seen our previous bean curd business... Xu Qingshan's family not only paid off foreign debts by making bean curd, but now both brothers have saved money..."
Jiang Li slowly told about the changes in Xu Qingshan's family, and indeed everything was getting better.
We are all ordinary people living an ordinary life. If we don’t want to get better, then why?
Everyone is trying to keep their families fed and clothed, and there is still money left in their pockets to do other things.
The Jiang family has allowed at least two families to achieve this just by relying on their bean curd business.
People in the village are sitting next to each other, and other people in the village are jealous and envious.
…
Having said this, Jiang Xi paused slightly and said with a smile: "I wonder what Mr. Xu thinks?"
Xu Yongning also nodded and said sincerely: "This is true. Brother Xu Qingshan's family is indeed much better off... Do you want to expand the production of bean curd? Recruit more people? This is easy to handle. Everyone in my Xujia Village is simple.
I am willing to work in exchange for a lot of food."
Fu Bao smiled sweetly and said: "Grandpa Xu, you have misunderstood! We want to help Xujiacun and turn Xujiacun into the 'Hometown of Tofu'!"
“The land of tofu?”
This is unheard of and unseen. Xu Yongning asked curiously: "Fu Bao, do you want me to come and listen to it?"
At this age, he is also Cheng Huan's child, and when he looks at Fu Bao, he thinks Nai Tuanzi is smart and cute.
I also know that she is extremely smart and even knows how to talk about business at a young age!
Fubao said: "Grandpa Xu, this long-term search for yam is not a stable and sustainable development method! Think about it, if times are bad and there is nothing to collect and sell on the mountain, what will everyone do to make a living? Are they all hungry?
Stomach? Or looking for temporary work? Life is not easy..."
Xu Yongning also sighed, "There was a time like this... everyone had to tighten their belts and live a hard life... However, Xujiacun only has such geographical conditions. As the saying goes, relying on mountains and rivers, you can eat water.
I really don’t know what to do…”
It is precisely because of the great instability in relying on the mountain to rely on the mountain that the development of Xujiacun is still relatively poor.
There wasn't even a decent private school in the village, so the village chief couldn't bear it, so he founded a small private school by himself. He didn't earn much, hoping to train a few scholars.
It is said that everything is of inferior quality, but only education is good! Because Xujiacun has no other way to develop, it can only rely on this roundabout way to find a way for the younger generation to obtain fame and become officials in the future.
But even so, there are still many families who don't have money or are unwilling to send their children to school. Moreover, Village Chief Xu does have limited energy and ability, and so far there are no good talents in the village.
What Fubao said really struck a chord with him.
Fu Bao continued: "Besides, it's not stable, there are a lot of dangers on the mountain. If you encounter a wild beast, you will be seriously injured. If you are seriously injured, your family will have to pay for medical treatment, right? Look at what Xu Qingsong's family did before.
Isn’t this the situation where we fall back into poverty again?”
Xu Yongning also sighed, "Yes, there are actually quite a few injured people in the village... If it is an ordinary injury or illness, it will usually be over after a while. If you are unlucky and encounter a situation like that of Xu Qingsong's family,
Yes, that would really make me want to cry!"
Xu Yongning felt more and more uneasy after being reminded by Fubao. He couldn't help but ask: "Then what should Xujiacun do? How should it develop?"
Fu Bao smiled and understood that this made sense.
Tell everything clearly, explain the pros and cons clearly, and don't be afraid that the village chief won't mobilize everyone, and you won't be afraid that Xujiacun won't cooperate.
Their tofu shop is just around the corner!
Fubao said methodically: "So, instead of doing such a dangerous job for a long time, it is better to regard collecting herbs as a partial supplement and just do it in your free time. I have a better development direction here..."
Not all people in Xujia Village can be absorbed into the Tofu Factory. Fubao’s best vision is for a family to have part of the working population join the Tofu Factory and part of the population to collect herbs.
In this way, there will be no shortage of people in the tofu shop, and there will be no shortage of supplies in the Baicaotang.
What's even better is that with fewer people collecting herbs on the mountain, the soil will be more fertile and better, and the supplies will gradually become better and better. Baicaotang will benefit, and the people collecting herbs will also benefit.
Moreover, tofu shops can also absorb many farm women. In fact, many farm women are very capable hands, but they had little room to develop before. Tofu shops can also provide income and jobs for women. In this way, they can also make money.
, I also have confidence at home...
Fu Bao didn't say all of these thoughts. She had big ideas of her own!
Immediately afterwards, Fubao and Jiang Li took turns, describing their subsequent development of the tofu shop, recruiting people from Xujiacun to join them, and their ambition to create the "hometown of tofu" in Xujiacun!
The village chief was so excited that he seemed to have seen the prosperous future of Xujia Village and wished he could start working on it!
