The next day, Lenong Commercial Bank branches opened in Dafeng Village and Bailu Village. Yu Yalan took the time to go to the villages to attend the opening ceremony.

The villagers have already been coveting the Yu family's new farm tools. When they heard that they were on sale at a discount three days before the opening, many farmers gritted their teeth and bought one or two.

Small agricultural tools such as plows, harrows, sickles and hoes are relatively popular and can be easily purchased by most farmers after discounts.

As for the larger pedal-type threshing machines, multi-purpose colanders and labor-saving tillage racks, the whole village raises funds to buy one or two sets. They are usually stored at the village chief's house, and each family will take turns registering and using them when needed.

There are not many villagers willing to buy ecological fertilizers and commonly used chemical fertilizers, but occasionally some farmers with a little surplus try to buy some.

In terms of high-yielding grain varieties, potatoes are fairly popular, but rice is still unpopular.

Although the overall business of the branch is not as good as that of Lenong Commercial Bank in the county, Yu Yalan doesn't mind. Her main purpose is to promote advanced farm tools and improve farmers' backward production methods. It doesn't matter how much money she makes.

What's more, both villages are relatively poor. Most farmers have no other source of income except crops in the fields. They are in a tight financial situation and naturally cannot buy whatever they want.

Yu Yalan knew that the incident involving the Zhang family's ancestors had greatly frightened the villagers of Dafeng Village. In order to appease the villagers' emotions and further accumulate merit, she decided to help the villagers develop side businesses and make the farmers' wallets richer.

Escape from your past life of abject poverty.

So while the business was opening, she specially gathered the village chiefs of Dafeng Village and Bailu Village together.

"I have several recipes for making non-staple foods. One is to use beets and malt to make sugar, and the other is to use soybeans to make various tofu and methods of sprouting bean sprouts. I plan to give these recipes to Dafeng Village respectively.

And Bailu Village, if you are willing, you can pool the efforts of the whole village to build a workshop, and I will send someone to teach you the specific production process. When the product is later produced, I can also introduce you to the businessman who purchased it."

Yu Yalan then introduced the concept of dividends based on investment shares to the two village chiefs, as well as the relevant knowledge required to run a workshop.

The two village chiefs were shocked and were suspicious of Yu Yalan's purpose at first. However, as the discussion deepened, they gradually understood that Yu Yalan really wanted to support the villagers, and they couldn't help but feel admiration for this strange woman who was kind and helpful to the people.

Full of praise.

"Miss Yu is really a bodhisattva. She is willing to help the villagers without asking for anything in return. I admire her very much! It's just that too much money is needed to build the workshop. The village has just raised money to buy several sets of large farm tools. Now the money is really empty and we can only wait for the autumn harvest.

We’ll take care of this later.”

Village Chief Liu felt a little embarrassed. The village was really too poor. Now that the opportunity to make money was in front of them, they were powerless.

Chief Luo of Bailu Village also expressed the same opinion.

Yu Yalan smiled faintly and responded: "If you don't mind, I can lend the funds to build the workshop to the two villages, and then I will issue an IOU."

The two village chiefs were overjoyed and immediately said that they would discuss it with the villagers first, and then they would discuss the follow-up with her in detail after everyone agreed to sign up.

Yu Yalan readily agreed and then returned to the county seat to wait for news.

The two village chiefs called together the villagers that day to inquire about their intentions, and even informed everyone of many details of the cooperation.

The farmers did not expect that one day a pie would actually fall from the sky. They all discussed and argued endlessly, but in the end most people agreed to borrow money to build a workshop.

Everything went smoothly after that. Yu Yalan invested in buying the land and materials for the construction of the workshop, and the villagers in the two villages worked hard to build houses according to the drawings.

Dafeng Village built a sugar workshop, and Yu Yalan gave away ten kilograms of raw material barley and sugar beet seeds for free, and the relevant planting management was arranged by Village Chief Liu; Bailu Village built a bean product workshop, and the raw materials were relatively easy to obtain.

, Yu Yalan did not interfere too much.

After the workshop was built, the maid Biyun, who was good at cooking, was responsible for teaching the villagers the detailed process of making non-staple food, while Yu Yalan taught the two village chiefs the specific workshop management methods, the dividend and salary system, and the use of confidentiality and share-sharing contracts.

method.

The two villages under the jurisdiction of Xianping County are in full swing. The farmers' lives have made progress, and their once-sad faces have put on smiles of hope. They praised Yu Yalan for supporting them, and even the long-term worker of the Yu family

They were all treated warmly and kindly by the villagers.

The village is in full swing, and everyone is working hard to develop side businesses, and the county town, which has been quiet for a long time, is about to receive special good news.

Yu Yalan announced an important announcement on the bulletin board of Daoxiangzhai. She will hold a unique bidding meeting within three days to sell some pastry recipes with relatively simple raw materials and production processes in Daoxiangzhai at a reserve price.

Sold by competitive bidding.

For example, mung bean cake, red bean cake, red date cake and chicken cake, more than a dozen pastry recipes that are relatively low in cost and price, but have a wide range of diners, will all appear on the sales list of the bidding meeting this time.

Although it is a bidding meeting, it is different from the modern popular form. It is not a model where the highest bidder wins. Instead, everyone's bids are put into a secret box, and then Yu Yalan randomly draws out three cards. The three chosen ones will win.

They will become the candidate winning bidder for a certain pastry recipe, and then undergo a character test by the leopard cat to determine the final winner.

As soon as the news came out, the whole county was in an uproar.

The people are very puzzled by Daoxiangzhai’s practices. Is there anyone in this world who would push their money to the outside? After selling so many formulas, won’t the Yu family’s Daoxiangzhai face the end of permanent closure?

Many wealthy merchants are very excited about this. Daoxiangzhai’s pastries are famous in Bianliang. Even the simplest pastry recipe is enough for them to earn a lot of money. However, this last step of character test sounds too much.

It's child's play, how can there be any reason in the world to let a cat decide the transaction partner?

Everyone wanted to participate, but they were afraid it was a trap, so they sent people to Yu's house to inquire about the news, hoping to get a more detailed explanation.

"After Daoxiangzhai sells the recipe of simple pastries, it will then put on the shelves a batch of high-end new pastries with complicated production techniques and unparalleled taste. This bidding will be a new starting point for Daoxiangzhai. We will not sell the pastries with the formula.

It will be sold again, so the winner does not have to worry about vicious competition.

As for the methods of drawing lots and selecting bids by cats, they are actually to increase the randomness of the bidding and avoid suspicions of secret operations and favoritism. Therefore, whether you can win the bid depends entirely on luck.

Daoxiangzhai sells pastry recipes this time, aiming to provide a livelihood for the people of Xianping and help everyone get rich together. Friends who can afford the lowest price can try it. We do not have any restrictions on the identity of the winning bidder.

"

After Yu Yalan learned about everyone's questions, she explained all the relevant details of the bidding meeting clearly at once.

Of course, Mao'er's selection is actually a test of the character of the candidate for the Soul Discernment Bracelet. It is impossible to tell others such a secret. Although her original intention is to help the poor, it is also based on the other person's moral character.
