The Era of Hard Work

In the morning, after breakfast, Lu Dong took his notebook and went to the river. He heard the sound of a chainsaw from a long distance away, but before he saw the chainsaw and the shadow of a person, he smelled the smell of onions.

In winter, the temperature of minus five or six degrees can't suppress the smell of rotten onions in the river.

Rivers in this era are not generally unlucky.

The river water eats dead dogs and cats, then eats household garbage, and injects a colored and smelly stimulant after industrial pollution.

People living on both sides of the river, including Lu Dong, don't need to blame anyone. The river is stinky, and everyone is the culprit.

When he came to the river, Lu Dong stood on the side of the road and watched for a while, instead of going up the embankment to suffer.

Four or five workers are working here and have just brought down an old elm tree.

This is the best wood in Qingzhao, and it can be used as a beam in a house.

Li Banshan moved very quickly. On the Xiayan Road by the river bank, more than 20 big trees have been brought down, mainly poplars, pagoda trees and elms.

Walking forward, next to the river bank, a pagoda tree, which can only be surrounded by two people holding hands, is specially made of ropes for the fence, and there is a sign on it, which says "this tree will not be cut down".

From Lu Dong's handwriting, it was written by the second grandfather.

This is the thickest, tallest and longest tree in Lujia Village.

There are some legends in the village that a big boa constrictor is suppressed under this tree, and when the tree falls, the snake will come out!

It's a pity that Lu Dong knew the origin of this rumor, which was made up by Uncle Qi many years ago.

No matter what, this big pagoda tree, which is said to be a century old, is actually more than 60 years old, and it will not be cut down.

In the tree-cutting plan in the village, the oldest batch of trees will also be left behind, with about 20 or 30 trees.

Lu Dong turned another street and came to the elementary school. Looking through the courtyard wall, there were a lot fewer trees inside. Looking at the adobe school building, it is estimated that the children will have to wait another one to two years.

Without support from above, it would be very difficult for Lujia Village to rebuild such a school.

Once the leadership is changed, many things have to be reinvented.

After being transferred to the university town, Yang Liewen has done a lot of practical things, such as promoting Quannan bus to open the bus in the university city. The stop signs have been erected recently, and it will start operation after the Gregorian calendar year.

Students don't have to take a car to be slaughtered by a private old minibus.

On Ning Xiu's side, many things were not straightened out.

Lu Dong could also understand that the conditions in the county and the town were much worse than that of Lujiacun Primary School. It was common for Lujiacun Primary School to make do with it.

If the county were to renovate dilapidated school buildings by itself, the finances would collapse before it was finished.

County-owned enterprises went bankrupt one after another, teachers' salaries were deducted every month, and everyone's life was difficult.

Turning to Market Street, Lu Dong entered the courtyard of the brigade. In the large courtyard full of trees, there were only three trees that could not be hugged by a single person.

Lu Dong came into the office a little early, only Lu Zhenlin and Accountant Li were in the office.

After saying hello, Lu Dong gave the notebook to Lu Zhenlin: "Third Grandpa, everything I think is written on it."

Lu Zhenlin opened the notebook to read, first frowned, then put on reading glasses, looked at it, and said, "Dongzi, you need to practice your handwriting well."

Lu Dong had a thick skin and said, "Practice when I have free time."

Li Banshan and Tie Rooster came in together, and after a short meeting, Lu Jianguo and Lu Jianwu also came in.

Two older men in their 60s came in from behind, a Zheng Ke who had retired from the Tobacco Bureau, of course a Zheng Ke who was about to retire.

The other worked as a workshop director in an auto parts factory.

They all belong to people with certain prestige in the village.

After everyone sat down and closed the office door, Lu Zhenlin went straight to the point: "In the past three days, I have run away from the counties and towns around me. I have gone to the fifth place, and the old fellows. What Dongzi said is very true. As for the actual situation, after thinking about it all afternoon yesterday, from the current point of view, braised cooking is the most realistic and the risk is the lowest."

Accountant Li took the conversation and said in detail: "I also went there, asked many people, asked many shops, and bought a lot of stewed vegetables. We are not Wangpo who sells melons. The stewed vegetables in other stores are compared to those in Lujia Village. There are some gaps, which are bigger than those made by Jianjun’s family.”

Iron Rooster said: "If Jianjun's sister-in-law came out to sell stewed stew earlier, Cheng Lifeng would be nothing."

That's what I said, but it was unrealistic to do so in the past few years. Who would be willing to be self-employed in the past few years? What's more, as a woman with children, even the village didn't consider developing a side job.

In the past two years, the social situation has changed rapidly, and people's thinking has changed significantly.

Lu Jianwu said at this time: "I also looked at it specifically and asked. Cheng Lifeng's influence is not as great as we thought. This person has a great forgetfulness. When something happens, it may attract people's attention at that time, but people's attention The energy will soon be transferred to other things, and Cheng Lifeng is almost forgotten."

Lu Jianguo thought for a while and said, "I asked Uncle Wu, the construction company has already planned this year's welfare budget, and the stewed goods are still a bucket per worker, and the purchase price is the same as during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Lu Zhenlin said: "Lao Liang will retire after the Chinese New Year. He doesn't want to take care of things. We don't need to take care of other public units. The private market is not small."

Lu Dong answered, "We don't need to engage in crooked ways."

The person who retired from the Tobacco Bureau answered: "Dongzi is right, earning money in a dignified manner, and making money with peace of mind."

Iron Rooster said, "Third Uncle, let's do it!"

Lu Zhenlin's two straight eyebrows, although stained with a little hoarfrost, are still thick, and they are connected together like a sharp sword: "This matter is related to the future and destiny of our Lujia Village, so we have to be careful! If we take this step, we have There is no going back!"

Including Lu Dong, everyone is waiting for Lu Zhenlin to make a final decision.

Only the leader, Lu Zhenlin, can shoulder this heavy burden at this stage!

Lu Zhenlin didn't keep everyone waiting for long, and said slowly but firmly: "Okay, let's make stew! Open a store! Open a branch!"

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhenlin seemed to do it intentionally, and called out his names specifically: "Dongzi, you have thought a lot, and recently you have been doing business related to stewed cooking. Among us, you have experience in the food business and have helped your mother make stewed soup all year round. Tell me."

Among the people present, only Lu Dong was really engaged in food business.

Speaking of it, he is barely a professional in this field.

Everyone knew this and knew that Lu Dong had become very reliable, so they had no objections.

Lu Jianguo no longer looked at this nephew with old eyes, and at this moment encouraged Lu Dong with a slight nod.

Although Lu Dong recorded a lot of things in that notebook, accountant Li picked up a pen and prepared to record out of concern about the ghost-drawing characters.

The people present here are all grandparents and uncles. Lu Dong is the youngest and the lowest seniority. It's not like the fire is imminent during the flood, so you should be more careful when you speak.

Lu Dong said: "I did a small business, but I am young and have little social experience. Let's discuss it together."

No one should underestimate such things as life experience and social experience, and they are very useful sometimes.

Later, Lu Dong said, everyone expresses their opinions, and Accountant Li is responsible for recording.

The first thing to solve is the problem of funds. Without money, nothing can be done.

Li Banshan has already contacted the buyer, and when the solution is turned into wood, he can sell it immediately, and the funds will be in place within ten days at most.

Where the tree was cut down, new saplings will be planted next year.

In terms of manpower, although there are many strong laborers in the village working on the construction site in the university town, there are also many people who stay at home to work in agriculture. There are more than 1,000 people in Lujia Village.

Lu Zhenlin held a meeting in advance and made mobilization. Lujia Village is mainly composed of people with the surnames of Lu and Li, and their hearts are relatively homogeneous. Everyone wants to get rich when they see Songjia Village running iron dealers to make money.

Few people are afraid of working, no matter how tiring this job is, it is not as tiring as the construction site and crop work.

Moreover, the village does not engage in apportionment, nor is it mandatory to pay money, and there are wages to be paid.

Including activists like Hu Chunlan, Lu Zhenlin rallied around 50 people.

Of course, most of them are women who usually stay at home.

During the period of waiting for money, the big guy also has a lot of things to do.

First of all, we need to determine the venue, making marinated cooking, hair removal, soaking in water, and boiling all need a relatively large place. The noise, the burnt smell of hair removal, and the sound of the blower during cooking can travel far, which is impossible. Put it in the village.

Originally, Cheng Lifeng's workshop could be used as an alternative, but firstly, the place was small, and secondly, after Cheng Lifeng's incident, the workshop was demolished by the county and returned to the fields.

Lu Dong proposed to temporarily use the orchard where the trees had been cut down, and everyone agreed.

The orchard is a large site, with dozens of large stoves, and it doesn’t matter how much you can hold. Thousands of apple trees and tree stumps that have been cut down are piled up as garbage, which is just used as firewood.

Another point, people don't say it but they know it well, the east of the orchard is next to the Qingzhao River, and the drainage is also convenient.

At this stage, we can't pay too much attention to it. When funds are sufficient, these problems will definitely be resolved later.

Lu Zhenlin thought more about it, and planned to fight with the town or county to separate that piece of land and turn it into an industrial land.

Secondly, it is necessary to determine the taste, determine the stewed cooking process, and make stewed stewed food on a large scale. The taste should not be too different, and the process must be unified. You cannot use one company today and another one tomorrow.

As soon as the topic came up, everyone said to use Hu Chunlan's formula and craftsmanship.

Lu Zhenlin made a decision on the spot that the village employs technical formulas, and they will not use them in vain, so they count as investment shares.

Since there is really not much capital in the village, if someone is willing to invest, as long as the money comes in the right way, the village will accept it.

Lu Zhenlin asked Lu Jianwu to formulate a charter.

Lu Dong was also figuring that he wanted to put some money into it.

For things like registered companies and registered trademarks, Lu Jianwu is an expert, and he is also responsible for all of them.

The next thing is to find a store, first find a suitable house, and you can rent it if you have the funds in place. You don’t need to do major renovations, just clean it up, put up signs and counters with similar styles, find the right manpower, and you can start business.

In terms of advertisements, find more people to put up posters everywhere. There are three grandfathers in each village brigade. The county TV station will broadcast Huanzhugege immediately.

There are also many issues such as hygiene, training, transportation, clothing and purchases.

One storefront is easy to talk about, two storefronts are quite troublesome, and three storefronts are called scale, and the problems and troubles caused by this may multiply several times.

The business looks small, and there are a lot of problems that need to be solved.

Lu Dong can only talk about the framework, and the real management has to be handed over to Lu Zhenlin.

Managing an enterprise is different from managing a village. On Lu Zhenlin's desk, he can read many books about enterprises.

For the time being, Lu Zhenlin can only be the locomotive in Lujia Village.

Not to mention anything else, Lu Zhenlin's connections over the past few decades are incomparable to others.

He was able to talk to the deputy director of the TV station, establish a relationship with the Qingzhao Meat Factory, and invite several people in charge of the nearby township police station to dinner, etc.

These are accumulated over decades.

From these aspects, Lu Zhenlin also has a lot of accumulation but a little growth.

In a place like Taidong, there are people who have relationships and are easy to handle, which is completely different from going through normal channels.

After the New Year, through the relationship of old classmates, Lu Jianwu quickly registered the company and trademark, and completed the three major certificates.

The first official company in the history of Lujia Village was born - Qingzhao Lujia Food Co., Ltd.!
