Chapter 153: The technique of removing astringency from acorns
It was used by Captain Luo when he talked about the Di Lu on the first day of the construction. Now it was used for the second time when Song Liyun wanted to talk about something.
At night, the courtyard of the guild hall was crowded with people. There were more than 300 people in Suijin Town, but now there were more than 100 people here.
There were not enough stools for everyone to sit on, so they had to find a place to squat or stand.
There was no noise from women or children, and the crowd was buzzing with murmurs.
Everyone was guessing what Song Liyun was going to say when she gathered everyone together.
There was a square table in the middle of the yard. Xue Zhuang, Old Man Zhang, Manager Mu, Hu Qing and other strong men were sitting on both sides with their horses and swords. There were two empty chairs in the most conspicuous position.
As time passed, there was a commotion in the yard. Everyone was asking each other, wanting to know as soon as possible why they were called over.
Although it is already March and there is a roof over the courtyard of the guild hall, it is still cold if you wait for a long time at night.
Someone lost their patience and started shouting, "What's the matter with Miss Song calling us over? I'm tired from tilling the fields all day and I just want to have a drink and go to bed early."
"That's right, we've been waiting for an hour and don't have time to play with you."
He ran over to wait before having dinner, but he didn't expect that it was getting dark and the Song brothers and sisters had not arrived yet, so he was getting anxious.
Hearing someone complaining, Old Man Zhang and Xue Zhuang both turned around and glared.
Old Man Zhang said in a deep voice, "If you can't wait, leave. We won't keep you."
Xue Zhuang snorted coldly: "If you don't want to leave, just shut up."
The buzzing in the yard grew louder, but no one stepped forward. The two who had complained were so embarrassed that their faces turned red, and they could only retract their necks.
Song Liyun arrived with Song Zhenping and heard these words.
When the two entered the yard, the voices that were boiling suddenly stopped.
Old Man Zhang and Xue Zhuang and others stood up at the same time and invited the brother and sister to take the main seat.
Song Liyun walked to the seat, but did not sit down. Instead, she faced everyone and said softly, "I have something to do during the day, so I can only delay everyone from coming over in the evening. Since everyone is busy and tired, I will make it short."
Old Man Zhang and Xue Zhuang knew that what they had just said had been heard, and their faces were immediately embarrassed. They couldn't pull Song Liyun away, so they could only push Song Zhenping into the main seat: "Song Xiaoge, please sit down first. We can talk slowly if you have anything to say."
Hu Qing quickly picked up the teapot and poured him some water.
Song Liyun didn't stop and continued: "I know that the acorn vermicelli is doing very well now. In addition to the garrison, it is also sold in Qili County.
Broken Gold Town used to make a fortune from gold dust, and now it can also make a fortune from acorn vermicelli."
Her words caused a small commotion among the crowd.
Sand gold... is the scar of Suijin Town. Although acorn vermicelli can generate income now, it cannot be compared with sand gold.
"Small-scale operations won't accomplish anything. I plan to set up an Acorn Food Co., Ltd. so that everyone here can learn about the processing technology and become the owner of the company."
“Wow!”
Song Liyun's words caused a moment of silence in the courtyard, and then bursts of exclamations rang out: "What is a food company?"
"I don't know! What is a company?"
"Come on, Zetao, pinch me and see if I'm dreaming."
Before Song Liyun could say the details, she was drowned out by a burst of questions.
Xue Zhuang excitedly slammed the table and shouted, "Quiet! Anyone who speaks again will be kicked out."
He was in a bad mood today, and the price of vegetables at Tianxianglou had dropped again, so he was only given twenty cents.
Furthermore, the fat shopkeeper was still asking about Song Liyun's whereabouts...
Song Liyun saved his life, so naturally she would not reveal her whereabouts.
And he told everyone else to shut up.
He would no longer attempt to use the acorn de-astringency technique, nor would he let anyone else know.
How could Song Liyun say that so easily, and even talk about company shareholders? She should at least discuss it with everyone.
Not only him, but even old man Zhang became excited and his face was full of disbelief.
They don't understand what shareholders are, but they know there is a method, which means that the mountains of acorn trees will become gold mines, which means endless silver.
Shopkeeper Mu remained silent. He was a businessman who only cared about making money.
After Xue Zhuang's roar, the yard instantly became quiet again.
Every pair of eyes was staring at Song Liyun, as if they wanted to stare a hole in her to see how true her words were.
Old Man Zhang asked in a deep voice, "We all know Miss Song is kindhearted. She usually donates money and supplies to the Elderly Hall. But this gift from some company is too great. We in Suijin Town can't just accept it for nothing. Miss Song, please let us know if she has any requests!"
Mr. Zhang didn't know what a company was. In his opinion, it should be something that Song Liyun wanted to give to everyone.
This is not just a few pounds of cornmeal or a few bundles of burnt matches. No matter how kind-hearted a person is, he is not a fool and will not let his most advanced technology be revealed.
There must be some difficult conditions that require everyone to agree!
Mr. Zhang's words caused another commotion outside the courtyard.
They have all been through the gates of hell and suffered five years of torment like the living dead. It is impossible for them to still be innocent.
Anyone who can stand here alive is not a fool.
They only believe that pie will fall from the sky, not from a trap. At this time, everyone is suspicious and alert.
Song Liyun smiled. She couldn't explain what a company was in a few words.
Acorns grow in the mountains and fall to the ground. People need to pick them up, carry them, and transport them out, all of which requires manpower.
And if she wanted to keep her technique secret, she would have to sneak to the river to soak acorns for a long time.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. It is better for you to directly disclose the technology and form a team.
She has also been observing the people in the town.
During this period of time, Xue Zhuang, Hu Qing and others have been very polite and respectful to the Song family, which she is very satisfied with.
If you want to form a team, it is not enough to rely on the favor of saving your life.
The best way is naturally to let everyone have a common goal.
“The so-called Acorn Food Co., Ltd. is just a big workshop.
I provided the technology and capital, and was the boss of the company, the majority owner, holding 50% of the workshop's shares.
You will be responsible for the purchase, production and sales of acorns respectively.
Each person manages different tasks, contributes different capital, and holds different shares. We'll discuss the details later. Would you be willing to join such a company?"
After hearing Song Liyun talk about Acorn Food Co., Ltd. and its affairs, the people in the town finally believed what Song Liyun said.
What Hu Qing and his companies are actually doing now is just the same thing, except that the company Song Liyun mentioned has more people.
More importantly: the method of removing the astringency of acorns can be explained.
Of course I have to join in if there is such a good thing.
Everyone agreed and expressed their willingness to join Acorn Food Co., Ltd.
Soon, the first business agreement belonging to Suijin Town was established in Suijin Guild Hall.
On the contract with Acorn Food Co., Ltd., the Song family's name was written first. "This method belongs to Song Zhenping and Song Liyun, and is only for use by the people of Suijin Town. It may not be passed on to others, nor may it be monopolized. Anyone who breaks this promise will be exiled to the grasslands."
No one had any objection to this, and everyone put their fingerprints on their names at the bottom of the agreement.
