Xiang Nan from Daxiang Village dumped the charming son of the richest man and married a 28-year-old single leftover man who only owned three thatched huts.
Everyone waited for her to regret i...
Cakes have a shelf life and cannot be produced in large quantities, but bean curd sheets can be kept for a year. She decided to focus on bean curd sheets in the future.
I took advantage of the fact that there was no bean curd skin here and produced it in large quantities, and sold it to make my first pot of gold.
"We'll need a lot of soybeans, Huo Yun, when you're free, go to each village and help collect the beans.
I will talk to the village chief tomorrow and plan to build a workshop on the open space behind my house to make bean curd sheets. I will also need to hire a few people to grind the beans.
Leave the task of cooking the bean curd sheets to Huo Qing and Huo Sheng, along with my sister-in-law. Don't tell others how to do it in advance.
When we make our first big buck, we can tell others about it, and then there will be more ways for the village to get rich."
Huo Yun was puzzled: "Sister-in-law, why do you have to tell others? Can't we do it well ourselves?"
It has always been a unique business, so why not just sell it casually?
Xiangnan smiled and said, "This thing is not difficult to make. How long do you think you can keep it a secret? It's not like making cakes, which requires technical skills. You can make it just by knowing the process."
They make a lot of money selling bean curd sheets here, so people will definitely ask about it. How can they hide it?
Xiangnan didn't plan to hide it. He just wanted to make a batch and make some money. This was just a temporary solution.
She then asked Huo Sheng, "How much can we borrow in our town?"
Among the three brothers of the Huo family, Huo Sheng is the smartest and knows the most.
Huo Sheng asked in surprise, "Why did my sister-in-law take out a loan? If she can't pay it back, she'll be held legally responsible. If you're short of money, you can ask my eldest brother. He...he shouldn't be short of money."
"The county market is now mostly empty. I'm thinking about taking out a loan to rent it all out."
I looked around Xiangnan today and found that the vegetable market is not just a vegetable market. Outside the market is a large circle of storefronts that sell clothes, shoes, fabrics and the like.
It is equivalent to an early stage shopping mall.
Those storefronts outside cannot be rented, they are only for sale, so she definitely can't afford them.
But as long as you can pay for the storefront fee of the vegetable market, it will be a lot of money.
Xiangnan knew that the market would definitely be a success. Although the book she was wearing mainly talked about the male protagonist's entry into officialdom, it also briefly mentioned the first market in An County.
It was mentioned in the article, which proves that it must have developed later.
The market led by the An County government cannot be abandoned.
"How much does it cost?" Li Mo asked in surprise. She was a little shocked by Xiangnan's idea. There were so many storefronts that no one else wanted, but she dared to rent them all.
"There are hundreds of storefronts, and the rent is ten yuan a month, but the rent is paid annually, which is more than one hundred yuan a year, probably ten thousand yuan." Xiangnan said lightly.
"Ten thousand yuan!" Li Mo was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks.
Ten thousand yuan is an astronomical figure.
In the evening, Xiangnan told Huo De about the loan.
Hearing her say that she wanted to borrow 10,000, Huo De thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you wait until I'm healed, and I'll find a way."
Xiangnan shook his head: "Opportunity cannot be missed, time waits for no one, I'm afraid that by the time we gather the money, the place will have been taken away by someone else."
There is no shortage of people with a keen sense of timing in this era.
And since she could borrow money, there was no need to find ways to raise the money. She wanted to borrow money because she felt she had the ability to pay it back.
Huo De touched her head and said, "How can you be so brave? Others don't dare to take out loans, but you are not afraid."
Who would dare to borrow so much money these days? You have to pay it back, otherwise people will kill you.
But Huo De never hindered Xiang Nan's decision. At worst, if he couldn't pay it back, he would find a way to pay it back.
With Huo De's support, Xiangnan went to the only credit union on the road the next day. He didn't know there was a surprise until he asked.
The government now issues interest-free loans, and you don’t have to pay interest at all. The procedures are simple, as if they are afraid that you won’t take the loan.
There was such a good thing. Xiangnan borrowed 20,000 yuan without saying a word and just provided his ID card, marriage certificate, and household registration book.
Xiangnan returned home with 20,000 yuan in her pocket. Huo De was surprised at her courage. She came back with 20,000 yuan in her pocket.
"Wife, have someone follow you next time."
If such a large sum of money is robbed, it would be a big deal, not to mention the fear that someone might kill you for your money.
"Well, I didn't expect that I could borrow it today. I just wanted to ask around, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to borrow.
The country encourages us farmers to borrow more money to develop the economy. As soon as I said that, the credit union immediately agreed.
Especially when I heard you were in the military, I was so happy! I never thought that the people who lend money out are happier than the people who borrow money."
Huo De chuckled. "There's a policy from above. Many people from banks in Jinghai have come to us begging for loans, but very few people are borrowing because they're afraid they won't be able to pay it back."
Xiangnan said cheerfully, "That's the saying that the brave die of overeating, while the timid die of starvation. Let's get started. I'll ask Brother Da Lei to help me find someone to build the house."
"Okay, let's build a small building?" asked Hood.
Xiangnan shook his head: "I don't like high-rise buildings. Let's build a bungalow. It will save trouble and take up a lot of land. It will also be convenient for workshops."
The area behind was ownerless wasteland. She made arrangements with the village chief and was able to occupy a large area of it. There was no such thing as not being allowed to occupy land and build houses in rural areas.
After they occupy it first, it will be their own residential land. Her three nephews will not have enough to share if they don’t occupy more.
If she were to live alone in the south, she would prefer this kind of mud house, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The only difference is that the mud floor needs to be leveled and tiled.
Xiangnan took two bottles of bean curd sheets and a few pieces of cake with meat floss and went to the home of the village chief Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming subconsciously asked when he saw her, "What happened again?"
Recently, I always feel that Xiangnan is accompanied by trouble. Her appearance will stir up trouble, especially when I heard that Zhu Li was caught eloping with someone because she provided the clue.
Zhang Ming felt that Xiang Nan was a very strange person, and anyone who got on bad terms with her would suffer a miserable end.
Feng Mingli stole the water used to irrigate her family's fields and was beaten to death.
Yang Shengli stole her cake and not only was he beaten up, but he also lost six laying hens.
He Jinhua had a quarrel with Aunt Zhou, and she went to mediate. He Jinhua suffered a fracture and was admitted to the hospital.
Zhu Li robbed Zhang Hao and was caught eloping with someone. She was even caught in bed with him. If parades were not out of fashion now, the whole village would have been paraded.
Zhang Ming felt that Xiangnan was a man who would not come to visit unless there was something important.
"Village chief, I have something to ask you." Xiangnan smiled and placed the things he brought on the square high table in the village chief's house.
"There's a vacant lot behind my house. I'm thinking of setting up a workshop to make yuba." Xiangnan opened a bottle of braised yuba and handed it to him: "Village chief, try some."
Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was glad that it wasn't troublesome.
He took the dried bean curd sheets and smelled them: "I heard that the braised garlic shoots you make are quite delicious now, and they are sold to state-owned restaurants."
"Yes, I want to set up a workshop to make garlic sprouts, bean curd sheets and cakes. I don't want you to approve the land for me."
"Although the land is barren, it has not been divided. It belongs to the village collective. It will be difficult to build on it." Zhang Ming said with some difficulty.
