Chapter 201 Buyout Pattern
Liang Shaoling was not lying. Ever since he came back, Gu Laoliu often looked for him.
On the one hand, he really missed her, but on the other hand, the villagers were fed up with his bragging and didn't like to hear it.
Now that his good brother has returned, he naturally hopes that someone will continue to support him and listen to him show off his trip to Mingzhu.
Thanks to Gu Laoliu's jokes, Liang Shaoling felt more real about returning home.
Winter hunting before the New Year is the most anticipated activity for the villagers, as it affects the quality of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Liang Shaoling's return seemed to give everyone a shot of adrenaline.
It sounds a bit realistic, but life is not full of false courtesy. We are not friends for life and death, so this is the most normal thing.
This attitude soon made Liang Shaoling's life return to its former ease and comfort.
As the old saying goes: When one has enough food and clothing, he will know honor and disgrace; when his granaries are full, he will know etiquette.
Gu Mingyue has always felt that only when people have enough food and clothing will they follow basic moral norms.
The villagers' handicraft workshops are thriving and they are making money every day.
Even though they work all year round, the villagers still don't complain about being tired. Making money means they have food to eat and clothes to wear, so they enjoy doing it.
It is worth celebrating that the batch of orders sent to Mingzhu was very popular, sales were hot, and it also caught the attention of foreigners.
A reporter from Britain was traveling in China. While shopping, he accidentally saw this lovely hair flower and liked it very much.
I immediately bought a bunch and prepared to give them to my friends.
Unexpectedly, one of my good sisters whose family runs a department store sensed a business opportunity after seeing it, especially after asking about the price, she seemed to have foreseen the profitability, so she came to China to investigate in person.
When Mingzhu Garment Factory learned the news, it immediately asked someone to contact Gujia Village and proposed the idea of buying out the patterns.
When Gu Mingyue learned about it, she agreed without hesitation.
It's not that I'm short of money. Import and export orders are different from domestic purchases. The requirements are extremely strict. There are fixed requirements for qualifications and quantity alone.
They are just a workshop and can’t handle it at all.
As for the share, she didn't even think about it. Even if she had the imperial sword, she had to be careful not to be too arrogant. If she acted too blatantly, she would lose both her money and her life. It was not the time to be individualistic yet. It was safest to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
However, she also put forward her own conditions: buyout is allowed, but only for export. Domestic orders must be mainly from Gujia Village.
She never forgets to ensure that foreign and domestic orders will never be the same.
Mingzhu Garment Factory did not take Gu Mingyue seriously, thinking that there were only a few patterns and they had their own designer, so how could he not be more reliable than a country boy.
Moreover, the export price made them a lot of money, and they felt that after eating the meat, they should leave some soup for others, so they readily agreed.
However, they didn't know that it was this contempt that made them want to slap themselves a few times every time they thought of it in the future.
Gu Mingyue admitted that she had some ulterior motives.
In later life, she often went shopping in small commodity cities, and the variety of accessories alone in her head must have at least a thousand, if not ten thousand.
If she cannot lead the current trend with a modern perspective, it would be a shame for her to travel through time. She is quite confident about this.
As long as the garment factory wants to continue to accept external orders, she dares to say that with her designs, nothing else will be acceptable.
This means they have to keep buying out. What does this mean? It means making a lot of money!
When it comes to fleecing, should we fleece all of the wool all at once or wait until it grows thicker before fleecing? Gu Mingyue knows how to choose. As for whether the garment factory will regret it, it's a joke. If she had no name, she might still be worried.
After all, she was a "heroine" who was mentioned in the newspaper and praised by senior leaders. If she didn't want to seek her own death, she would never dare to do anything two-faced.
During this period, Gu Mingwei did not forget to explain to the villagers that the garment factory bought out the patterns, which were drawn by Mingyue. Therefore, the money did not belong to the village but to the individual.
Originally, one work point in the village was worth only a few cents. Now, everyone is one step closer to their original wish: double-digit work points.
One work point is exchanged for two yuan.
Everyone knew that the order for the handicraft workshop was brought in by Gu Laoliu and his colleagues. They also knew that without Mingyue's design, they would not be able to earn this money.
If one really calculates carefully, most people in the village are just reaping the benefits without doing anything else. If they are still not satisfied, they would be unworthy of the hard work of the village cadres, and even more unworthy of Mingyue's life-saving grace of exchanging her merits for food for them.
Someone immediately shouted, "Village Chief, we have no objection. We will do whatever you say. We don't want ungrateful people in our village."
The villagers echoed, “That’s right.”
There have been a lot of good things happening in the village recently.
This year, we raised 20 pigs at once. The reason why we dared to raise so many pigs has to do with the tofu workshop.
At present, the soy products from their village are very famous throughout Qingshan Town.
Based on the video, Gu Mingyue developed dried tofu, bean curd foam, fried bean curd skin and yuba, and orders came in one after another.
Soy products are known as vegetarian meat, not to mention further processing. Take soy beans as an example, they are fried in oil.
Whenever frying food is started in the workshop, many people gather around the wall with their bowls in hand, eating their meals while enjoying the aroma of oil. It feels like even the vegetables have the flavour of meat.
Due to the complicated process, the price of this processed soy product is also high and is still in short supply.
Whether it is the state-owned restaurant in the town or the canteens of major factory areas, different dishes have been developed for tofu soak.
Don't underestimate chefs of this era.
Nowadays, many well-known chefs only cook for themselves, while it is the novices or home cooks who cook big pots of rice.
It is different nowadays. For example, in the state-owned restaurants in the town, the chef’s ancestor was an imperial chef. His cooking skills would be respected even in a five-star hotel in later generations.
Gu Mingyue often went to the state-owned restaurant in the town and bought a lot of food at once and stored it in the space so that she could eat it whenever she wanted in the future. Otherwise, when the reform and opening up came, it would be difficult to find such talents.
As demand increases, the soy products workshop is also preparing to expand, and it is expected that five more people will be added to help in the workshop next year.
The increase in production results in more and more bean dregs remaining every day.
When people were short of food, we ate bean dregs, tree bark and wild vegetables. Now that life is no longer tight, we can have meat every meal, but we can have a good meal every now and then.
For the villagers, bean dregs are "tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away."
They couldn't make much money selling them to other villages, but they were unwilling to give them away. Finally, they all decided to raise pigs.
It is said that beans nourish people, and pigs are no exception. Since the pigs in the village ate bean dregs cakes mixed with pig grass every day, their weight has been increasing rapidly.
In order to eat delicious pork, Gu Mingyue is very concerned.
In her previous life, someone came to her hometown and taught her the scientific method of raising pigs. She was in charge of this work at the time, so she could still remember it.
Instruct the person in charge of the pigpen to clean it every day, remove feces in time, and keep the breeding environment clean and tidy.
Also, feed dry food first and then water. It is best to boil the water and let it cool, and the water tank should be cleaned regularly, so that the pigs can get sick less and grow more meat.
Seeing her drooling over the pigs all day, Gu Mingwei teased her, "You work really hard just to eat meat."
Gu Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother, you saw the truth but didn't tell anyone. If the villagers knew about it, it would damage my glorious image."
Gu Mingwei was surprised and asked, "Who is it that fought with a bunch of kids to slide down the slide, took Dandan to walk the cat and dog, led Xiao Shitou and Guangxin to the mountain to find rabbit nests, and almost dug up a hibernating snake?"
