Lin Yaodong replied," People think of solutions. As long as everyone has confidence in the country bumpkin braised egg project, we can find a way to overcome the issue of start-up funds.”
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. No one expressed their opinion.
Only Lin Yaohua was supportive.”
Lin Yaohua's wife, Zhou Xiuqin, tugged at the corner of her husband's shirt, implying that he was blindly supporting her!
"Village Chief, there are more than 400 villagers in our village, but only 20 adults came to the meeting. Everyone has lost confidence in you for a long time," said the village accountant, Lin Xiang, in a low voice.”
Li Xue, the head of the village women's department, also said in a low voice,"That's right! We have to find a way to make the villagers regain their confidence in you. Only then will someone be willing to invest in the factory.”
Lin Yaodong said," Why don't we do this first? I'll organize everyone to make some country bumpkin braised eggs. I'll arrange for someone to go to the county town to sell them tomorrow morning to explore the market so that everyone can see how the sales are."”
Aunt Huang said,"We can try this. In any case, every family has eggs."”
"Let's try to make good country bumpkin braised eggs and sell them in the county town. Even if no one buys the braised eggs, we can still take them back and eat them ourselves. There's no loss.”
Widow Wang raised her hand and said,"Village Chief, I'll make braised eggs with you. It's not a problem for me to contribute."”
"You old ladies are going to make braised eggs tonight. We'll go to the county town tomorrow to sell them.”Deputy Village Chief Lin Yaohua said enthusiastically.
"Count me in," Tie Zhu said."I'm also willing to go to the county town to sell braised eggs."”
Immediately after, the villagers expressed their willingness to participate in this matter and support Village Chief Lin Yaodong.
Therefore, Lin Yaodong said," Since everyone is willing to give it a try, then organize everyone to go door-to-door to collect eggs. The market price of each catty of eggs is 1.26 yuan. Put it on the village's account. After selling the braised eggs, we will pay everyone."”
Everyone began to move after hearing that.
There were more than 400 villagers in Tazhai Village. Basically, every family raised chickens and ducks. They might not have anything else but eggs and duck eggs.
Soon, under the call of the village broadcast loudspeaker, they gathered 500 pounds of eggs from more than 400 villagers in the pagoda village.
Lin Yaodong spent some public funds from the village and personally rode a bicycle to the market to buy enough seasoning.
The reason why Lin Yaodong personally went to buy the seasoning was to prevent the secret recipe of the country bumpkin's braised egg from being leaked.
Lin Yaodong knew very well that the core secret recipe must be in his hands.
It was useless to learn the cooking process. Only by mastering the core secret recipe could one make an authentic country bumpkin braised egg.
After everything was ready, Lin Yaodong organized some villagers to participate in the production of the country bumpkin's braised eggs that night.
Widow Wang deliberately approached Lin Yaodong and asked curiously," Village chief, the braised egg you made is so delicious. What ingredients did you put in it?”
Lin Yaodong replied,"This is the core technology. It's a secret."”
"Tsk, if you don't want to say it, then forget it!"
Lin Yaodong held back and did not tell anyone the recipe for the secret seasoning, including his younger brother, Lin Yaohua.
Strength in numbers.
500 pounds of eggs were divided into several portions and marinated in the homes of N villagers.
Looking at the fragrant country bumpkin braised eggs, Lin Yaodong was indescribably happy.
"Brother, we'll sell it in the county town tomorrow morning. How much should we set?" Lin Yaohua asked.”
Lin Yaodong did a rough calculation after listening.
Eggs: In 1985, the market retail price was 1.26 yuan per catty.
(Those who don't understand history, please don't spout nonsense, and don't question the price of eggs in 1985. This is the official announcement. It can be found online. The true historical price of eggs back then will not be questioned or refuted.)）
One catty of eggs could be weighed about eight.
A country bumpkin's egg was priced at 0.3 yuan, and a catty of eggs could be sold for 2.4 yuan. Subtracting the cost of the egg at 1.26 yuan and the cost of ingredients, a catty of eggs could earn at least 0.8 yuan.
If the 500 catties of country bumpkin braised eggs were all sold out, he could earn a net profit of 400 yuan.
Therefore, Lin Yaodong replied,"Each country bumpkin braised egg is priced at three cents."”
Tie Zhu asked,"Uncle Dong, where should we set up our stall in the county town tomorrow?"”
" Of course, we'll go to places with a lot of people," said Lin Yaodong." For example, the entrance of the market, the train station, the bus station, and the commercial street. You can set up your stalls wherever there are a lot of people."”
"Alright, Uncle Dong. We'll listen to you.”
The urban management was established in the 1990s. In the 1980s, it was the traffic, city appearance, public security, industry and commerce, gardens, and other departments that carried out comprehensive management. Therefore, the management of the stalls was not strict.
The entire village was waiting to see if the country bumpkin's braised egg would succeed tomorrow.
The next morning, Lin Yaohua, Lin Tiezhu, and the other male villagers followed Lin Yaodong's instructions and went to a crowded place in the county to set up a stall to sell country bumpkin braised eggs.
Although Tazhai Village was only a dozen miles away from the county town, it was all muddy and rugged mountain roads. Transportation was very inconvenient, which was the main reason why Tazhai Village had always been poor.
If a spacious asphalt road could be built and the originally winding old road straightened, the traffic would be convenient, and it would definitely help the pagoda village get rid of poverty and become rich.
In Lin Yaodong's opinion, if the pagoda village wanted to become rich, building roads was the top priority.
Lin Yaodong roughly calculated that the budget for repairing this Tazhai Road was close to 100,000 yuan.
In the parallel world of 1985, the average annual income of urban workers was only about 500 yuan.
The average annual income of the villagers in the pagoda village was only about 200 yuan.
Spending 100,000 yuan to build a road was an astronomical figure.
He didn't disappoint.
After noon, Lin Tiezhu and Lin Yaohua held a stack of old Chinese coins in their hands and ran into the village committee excitedly.
"Uncle Dong!"
"Uncle Dong, we succeeded!"
"It's not even noon yet, and everyone has sold out all the country bumpkin braised eggs!”
"Brother, the people in the city have never seen a country bumpkin's braised egg. Out of curiosity, many people crowded around to buy it. I just set up a stall near the train station and sold it out in a short while.”
The village accountant, Lin Xiang, took the money and counted it. After counting it on his small abacus, he exclaimed,"Village chief, we earned 400 yuan just by selling the country bumpkin braised eggs in one day. This is more than the annual income of a villager in the pagoda village!”
A catty of watermelon was only 1.5 cents, and a catty of white flour was only 2.5 cents. By comparison, one could tell how valuable 400 yuan was back then.
After the village women's director, Li Xue, heard this, she said happily,"That's great! Our Tazhai Village finally has the hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich!”
When Lin Yaodong saw everyone's happy appearance, he felt sincerely happy.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission, regaining the trust of the villagers and increasing the cohesiveness of the villagers in the pagoda village. You have received the "Country Braised Egg Factory Construction Plan" and "Country Braised Egg Promotion and Sales Plan".”
Lin Yaodong secretly exclaimed,"That's great!"”
"With a detailed business plan, it will be much easier to start a country bumpkin braised egg factory.”
