Chapter 54 Planning

Rural people have always been willing to take out the best things in the family. As for whether the guests see it or not, it is another matter. At least for them, they have done their best.

It's the same in Hou's family. He learned that Hou Yong was going to bring guests back for dinner. From the afternoon, the family began to prepare. When Zhu Daidong sat at the table, he found that Mr. Lin had set up a table, which was extremely rich. Chicken, fish, pork tripe, pig's feet, pork heart, but half of the dishes are related to tofu: boiled fish with tofu, stir-fried meat, bean skin and egg soup, cold braised and dried.

Originally, Hou Lihua prepared home-brewed rice wine. Since Zhu Daidong brought wine, let's go to the boutique. When rural people eat, women and children can't eat. In addition to Hou Lihua and Hou Yong, the other one who accompanied Zhu Daidong to dinner was Hou Yong's younger brother Hou Dang. When introducing Hou Yong, Zhu Daidong saw his brass-like face and thin cheeks. He thought it was Hou Yong's brother.

Hou Yong only graduated from junior high school, but he is good at doing farm work. At the same time, he also has a brick-building skill. In his spare time, he built houses for others everywhere. His house was built by him. In order to save money, he didn't hire anyone except his wife and mother as small workers. With his skillful hands, it took him two months to build this building. It was not until the last Shangliang and Gewa that Hou Gan asked for helpers, but he was not an outsider. Hou Lihua worked as a carpenter when he was young, and the father and son worked together to build a home for himself.

Chinese people have always liked to talk about things at the wine table. According to the statistics of some non-staff experts, at least 80% of China's large and small affairs are finalized at the wine table. Although this data has not been approved by authoritative departments, no Chinese will oppose it.

The three sons of the Hou family are both good at drinking. Needless to say, Hou Yong, as long as he doesn't drink fast wine, he won't fall down two catties. And Hou Gan is better. Although Hou Lihua is old, he is also old and strong. It is not a problem to drink a catty and a half. This time, Hou Yong brought Zhu Daidong back. In addition to promoting his plan, he also wanted to try Zhu Daidong's drinking capacity.

But what stunned Hou Yong was that his drinking capacity seemed to be infinite. As soon as he was served, Zhu Daidong first saluted the Hou family and his son, and then the Hou family and his son returned. Then in Hou Yong's intentional calculation, none of the three of them drank with Zhu Daidong, but took turns to clink glasses with him. But even so, more than five catties of high-quality products are useless, and Zhu Daidong still seems to be a person with nothing to do.

"Brother Hou, you should enjoy the wine. Don't drink too much. I think it's enough to drink another bottle. You have to leave two bottles for Secretary Hou, right?" Zhu Daidong counted nine empty wine bottles, more than half of which he drank. Although he did not feel intoxicated, the Hou family and his son were already in the same state.

"Director Zhu, you are a guest. The task of our family is to accompany you. You must have a good time." Hou Lihua also admired Zhu Daidong's drinking capacity. He looked like a gentle young man, but he drank wine so boldly, which made him very fond of him.

"Secretary Hu, you can't call me Director Zhu anymore. Isn't this to break me? You can ask me to Dai Dong or Xiao Zhu, but don't call me Director Zhu, otherwise I won't come in the future. Zhu Daidong pretended to be angry. After drinking so much wine, everyone's relationship suddenly became much closer.

"Okay, Xiao Zhu, I know you have something else to do this time. I heard from Hou Zi that it's still about making a fortune for the villagers. I don't know what it is?" When Hou Lihua saw that Zhu Daidong was not as tall and pretentious as ordinary young people, and did not put on the airs of township cadres, he felt even more pleasing to him.

Many people can't see a person clearly in their lives, but some people can recognize a person as long as they meet once, and Hou Lihua is obviously one of those "some people". As many people say, you should learn to be a person in advance. When others recognize you, everything you do will be completed smoothly.

Although Hou Lihua still doesn't know what Zhu Daidong is going to do, his words have shown an attitude that as long as he can do it, he will strongly support Zhu Daidong. As the director of the enterprise office, it is rare to get the full support of Hou Lihua, who has a lot of prestige from the village secretary and all the village secretary in the township.

"I have seen the crop statistics of the whole township. The output of soybeans in our Shuling Township is very high, with an annual output of nearly 5 million catties. I was just thinking about whether I can use these soybeans to do something. Of course, the best use of soybeans is to produce tofu. If a tofu factory can be set up, selling tofu is much more cost-effective than selling soybeans directly. Zhu Daidong knew that he was talking about the topic, but he was not reserved, so he said his ideas one by one.

"Tofu factory? Basically, every family in our village can make tofu. If we run a tofu factory, who will we sell it to? Hou Lihua gently put the wine glass on the table and muttered. His eyes narrowed, which was his habitual action when thinking about problems. Although he also drank more than a catty of dry, his mind was extremely clear at this time.

"In the city, to be precise, in the city." Zhu Daidong's determined way.

"City? Tofu is not a rare thing. Where can it be sold in the city? Hou Lihua's eyes suddenly opened, and he stared straight at Zhu Daidong and said.

"Secretary Hou, do you think the citizens of the city will be like our family. Every family grows soybeans, and every family will grind tofu. I have done several surveys in the city. Since last year, although several farmers' markets have been set up in the city, in general, all kinds of vegetables, meat and eggs are in short supply. Otherwise, the city would not have carried out the vegetable basket project last year. This is the mayor's personal leadership in order to solve the problem of citizens' difficulty in buying vegetables. Zhu Daidong said with a smile that it is rare to have no vegetables in the countryside. Who doesn't order vegetables in front of and behind the house? Cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, leeks, winter melons, pumpkins in summer, cabbage and cabbage in winter can be said to be eaten all year round. On the contrary, there is relatively less meat, and there is not much oil and meat in the vegetables.

The vegetable basket project is only carried out in the city, and the bigger the city, the tighter it is. Shachang City is the second largest city in the province, with nearly 2 million people in the city. Citizens feel that the supply of meat, eggs, milk, fish, vegetables and fruits is tight. Summer is better, and winter and spring are the most stressful.

As for Shushuling Township, there is no need to do any vegetable basket project at all. Hou Lihua, who has always only paid attention to the township policies, is not very clear about these policies. Zhu Daidong introduced him very carefully. As he spoke, Hou Lihua's eyes began to become bright.
