The first step is to use small restaurants to let customers know about Hexing rice.

The second step is to start selling Hexing rice to the outside world.

Now is the second step.

"The rice production in our village is limited. We can't supply much if we sell it in supermarkets, right?" Liu Yusu asked.

"It's good that the output is limited. The rice in our village is good, but the output is small. Doesn't this just fit the point that things are valuable because they are rare? Low output and good taste are also one of the selling points. The more delicious it is, but the lower the output, the more attractive it is to buy." Lu Youxi said.

"If we can develop well, our village can focus on rice production and no longer need to grow other crops," said Lu Youxi. "This way, we can have less work and earn more than before."

"You still have the pink book to take care of, and you have to sell rice to supermarkets, can you handle it?" Liu Yushu said distressedly, "Besides cooking, I can barely run a restaurant. I really hate that I can't help with anything else."

"I'll discuss this with the village chief." Lu Youxi said, "I think the village chief can definitely do it."

She only has a preliminary plan now. There are so many children in the village, especially the children of the village chief, Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu, who are about to take the college entrance examination.

When they graduate in the future, they can come and help.

But this is just her own idea, and she has no right to decide the future of others.

There is a good chance that they have other work they would like to do.

Therefore, Lu Youxi did not express his thoughts for the time being.

After Lu Youxi discussed with Liu Yusu and Grandma Xu, he called the village chief.

The village chief was pleasantly surprised and said, "Yuki, you are progressing too fast. I was originally thinking that in the next one or two years, we would only supply rice to your restaurant, at most if your restaurant could expand a little and the demand would increase a little. Now you actually want to sell our rice directly."

Just by supplying rice to Lu Youxi's current restaurant, the villagers are already earning more than before.

The price Lu Youxi offered was much higher than the factory that purchased the goods from them.

Those factories just took advantage of the fact that Hexing Village was located in a remote area and the villagers had little education and connections, so they kept giving them very low prices.

They have indeed not seen the world in the village and don't know that their rice is also very good when sold in the city.

I thought the rice everyone eats is similar.

Lu Youxi explained his plan, "So, I plan to do both. On the one hand, I will sell it to customers in our restaurant. On the other hand, I will negotiate with the supermarket to push our rice into the supermarket."

"This...can you handle it alone?" said the village chief.

"I was just about to ask you for help." Lu Youxi said with a smile.

"I?"

"Yes." Lu Youxi said, "If we only sell it in my restaurant, it will be very convenient, but our restaurant is limited in size and has a limited number of customers, so the quantity sold will definitely not be that much."

"Now the price of rice supplied to your restaurant alone is several times higher than before. The economic conditions of our villagers have improved a lot." The village chief said hurriedly.

They didn't do this originally because they couldn't sell their rice at a high price.

Moreover, the villagers grow their own vegetables and raise poultry, which reduces the cost of daily meals.

While being self-sufficient, we can also produce enough vegetables and poultry products to sell in town.

"The rice in our village is sold at a high price. When the demand increases, all the land in our village will be used to grow rice. Then we will specialize in producing this and make money from it. We can earn more and on a larger scale," said Lu Youxi.

The village chief took a deep breath and asked, "Can it really reach that level?"

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "It's difficult to sell in supermarkets. But we have to try. How can we succeed if we don't try? I'm not satisfied with just the sales volume of my restaurant. How can I bring prosperity to our village?"

"But if we want to enter the supermarket, we have to be formal, set up a company, and negotiate with the supermarket. Otherwise, the supermarket will not pay attention to you, and they cannot sell three-no products. It is useless to just know that our rice is of good quality. The key is that we must also have various qualifications."

"Uncle village chief, I think if we set up a company, you will be in charge of the management." Lu Youxi said.

"How can I do this?" The village chief was shocked. How could he be in charge of a company?

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Sales, we have dedicated sales staff to take care of it. You are responsible for connecting the company and our village. You have prestige in our village and can control them. If we want to sell rice well and if we want Hexingmi to become famous, we must first ensure the quality of our rice."

"Otherwise, it will be useless even if our company has strong sales capabilities. If the quality is not good, people will not buy again after buying once. We can't do this kind of one-time business."

"Yes, you are right." The village chief nodded repeatedly.

"What I'm afraid of is that once the people in our village make money, they will become impatient and stop working hard, thus destroying their own reputation," said Lu Youxi.

"No, I have to supervise carefully!" The village chief raised his voice unconsciously.

"That's what I mean." Lu Youxi said, "You manage the company and don't let outsiders mess around. You also supervise the quality of our village's rice and don't let people take it. If someone doesn't work hard, we won't use his rice. But this matter can only be done by you. I can't take care of it, and no one listens to what I say."

"You know the most about the various things happening in every household in our village. Everyone in our village listens to what you say." Lu Youxi said, "To be honest, not everyone in our village is so hardworking and honest. There are some who are cunning and dishonest."

"I'm also afraid that someone among them will do something bad." Lu Youxi said.

"You are right." The village chief also reacted.

"Also, all the rice from our village was given to me. The remaining small amount was given to the factory that used to collect rice from our village. Didn't the factory say anything?" Lu Youxi asked again.

"You know what, they do have some complaints," said the village chief. "They asked me about it, and I told them directly that we have other channels, and they offer higher prices, so we will definitely give priority to the higher-priced ones."

"Uncle village chief, now you know that the rice in our village is delicious and can be sold at a high price in the city." Lu Youxi said, "In the past, that factory bought our rice at a low price and sold it at a high price. I don't know how much profit it made. Now I suddenly come out and interfere. The factory will definitely not be happy."

"They can't find me, but they will find ways to continue purchasing rice from our village. The price they offered will definitely be higher than before," said Lu Youxi.
