Chapter 441: New Outlook

Li Yi spent three days in Tongxiang Village, and the food problem has been completely solved.

With these grains, the village can last at least two months. By that time, the first batch of grain grown by the villagers will be mature, and there should be no more problems.

The most important thing is that the village chief finally agreed to build a school in the village, which is absolutely good news.

After receiving the news, the mayor Chen Ruqing was also excited and slapped the table. At that time, he said that when the village school opened, he must be there in person to give the children a lesson.

These children in the mountains are all precious eggs, with a strong character engraved in their bones and a desire for knowledge. Any teacher would like them.

Most of the problems in Tongxiang Village have been solved. The remaining ones are the former Jinyuan Meat Processing Plant and the current Kaoshan Village Food Processing Plant. Li Yi has already made up his mind about how to develop.

During this period, all the customized equipment for the food processing plant has arrived. Wei Sanpao is busy with everyone, placing the equipment, and then doing some simple adjustments and tests under the guidance of professionals.

Then the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau also helped and started testing to see if the sanitary conditions were up to standard and whether the indicators met the standards. Li Yi was aiming to build a top-level food processing plant, so the customized machinery was the most advanced model.

In short, there is still a lot of preparation work for the food processing plant, but Li Yi skipped some steps, such as recruiting people.

As for the number of villagers in Kaoshan Village now, there are more than 100 people, and 70 or 80 of them have considerable labor force. The workload in the early stage is not very large, and everyone can accept it.

And they are full of enthusiasm. After all, they are making money for their families and the village. Every villager has shown full patience.

A food processing plant always has a leader, and Li Yi is naturally the factory director, but Li Yi will not stay in Jinyuan forever. He has a lot of follow-up things to do. It’s just that after the first batch of spicy strips are sold and good results are achieved, Li Yi will withdraw and leave.

To make spicy strips, a small workshop is enough, but there is no such strict health guarantee system. It is just a roadside snack. This is not what Li Yi wants to do. Now many spicy strips are still made and processed in the era of small workshops, that is, they have not been generally and widely recognized. In the eyes of some people, they are well-deserved junk food.

Li Yi established this spicy strip production and processing factory in strict accordance with market regulations, and some safeguards are far beyond the reach of small workshops. First of all, a large workshop is being prepared, and then customized disinfection suits, work clothes, gloves, shoes and other equipment are customized. The establishment of an air shower room alone costs a lot of money.

There are more than 70 employees now, which is far from enough for Li Yi. At least 300 people are needed to form a production line of considerable scale. Don't forget that the food processing factory established by Li Yi not only processes spicy strips, but also instant noodles!

Three hundred people are needed for spicy strips alone, not to mention instant noodles. However, all aspects of instant noodles processing have become mature, and this market is not easy to manage, so Li Yi still focuses on spicy strips. First, make spicy strips well, and then consider the problem of instant noodles.

When I came to the food processing factory, I saw many people busying around. Various equipment filled the warehouse. It no longer looked abandoned. The whole factory was rejuvenated. During this period, the villagers of the whole Kaoshan Village were divided into two parts. One part continued to build the family building, with the purpose of moving in as soon as possible, and the other part was to move some things over. A batch of furniture customized by Li Yi also arrived at the site. The high-rise simply hired a crane to lift large items such as sofas.

The low-rise floors were also very simple. Just let people move them up. After every household on each floor had fully equipped the furniture, the next thing was the problem of power supply and water supply. Wei Sanpao had to go to the city to find the power supply company.

The entire food processing plant is in a state of vigorous development. Some other villagers are already learning how to make spicy strips. If you simply talk to the people in the village about theory, it will definitely be confusing. What about high pressure and high temperature, what about the working principle of the spiral machine, these are all theoretical, so they can't understand.

But if you give them a hand-in-hand demonstration, these villagers will be almost the same after three or five times. In terms of hands-on ability, the villagers in the mountain village have never been afraid of anyone. Weaving straw sandals is much more difficult than this.

Li Yi took the time to taste the spicy strips made by the villagers, and a surprised expression appeared on his face!

"Who made the spicy strips on this plate?"

Hearing Li Yi's voice, the villagers were all nervous. Is there something wrong with the spicy strips? Is it not delicious? No, everyone has tasted it just now, and it tastes good... It's not compatible with the authentic spicy strips?

Just when everyone was worried, a voice came from the crowd:

"I made this, what's wrong?"

Li Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl who looked about 18 or 19 years old. There is a tradition in Kaoshan Village that girls over 18 years old will wear a copper coin on their wrists to ward off bad luck. They can take it off after they get married. Generally, if they get married in their early twenties, the copper coin will not appear again.

Li Yi smiled and said:

"Don't worry, there is no problem. The taste is very pure! I am curious, what seasoning did you use?"

The girl was relieved and smiled and said:

"I usually use spices picked from the mountains when cooking, so I put the spices in!"

So it was spices? That should be spices like pepper and gardenia! This combination, coupled with spicy strips made of wheat flour, is simply perfect!

Li Yi said with a smile:

"Everyone listen to me! This seasoning does not have to be made according to my demonstration. You can mix it as you like! I will taste them one by one at that time. Anyone who thinks that his seasoning formula is good enough can come and try it!"

"If the first place is selected in the end, I will pay to buy his formula!"

The villagers of Kaoshan Village were very excited when they heard this!

After all these years, who still can't cook? According to Li Yi, as long as you take out the best seasoning in your hand, the first place may be yours!

Li Yi looked at the villagers who were excited and full of energy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
