"Mayor Liu, please sit down." A village party secretary in his 40s quickly moved the chair next to the mayor and invited Liu Yibang to sit down.

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "The meeting is about to begin. Everyone, please take a seat. We still need to listen to the spirit of the meeting conveyed by Mayor Wang and Secretary Zhou. I also have work to report on later. I've discovered another good project!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Liu Yibang with burning eyes. The spirit of the meeting could still be conveyed later, but good projects were hard to come by!

These village party secretaries do not dare to hope that a factory will be built in their village, but it would be a good thing if they could recruit more people from the village to work in the factory.

Secretary Zhou and Mayor Wang obviously shared everyone's thoughts. After asking everyone to take their seats, they conveyed the spirit of the meeting in a concise and concise manner.

What used to take more than an hour to explain can now be done in 10 minutes.

Secretary Zhou smiled and asked, "Mayor Liu, tell me quickly, what good project have you come up with?"

Now he goes to the county to attend meetings, and he feels very proud. Their area does not have good natural resources, and the economy has not been able to develop.

I want to open a factory, but I don’t have any good projects and I don’t know how to open up sales channels.

When people were sent down from above before, many places were unwilling to accept them. After all, many people did things in an irregular manner and could not withstand investigation. They were afraid that these young officials who could go directly to the heaven would cause trouble, so they passed the buck and finally gave it to them.

But no one expected that when Liu Yibang arrived, he would seek unity and development instead of fighting.

Two factories have been established, and almost every week, they take away trainloads of vermicelli to the eastern region. They are now profitable, with part of the money going to road construction and part to teachers' salaries.

When they started building the vermicelli factory, they encouraged the town's residents to grow more potatoes. To allay farmers' concerns, they signed a contract directly in the name of the town government, guaranteeing purchase.

This year, the town's per capita income increased by an average of 1800 yuan, meaning a family of six could earn an additional yuan.

This amount of money is not much for economically developed areas, but for poor areas like theirs with underdeveloped economies and no other way out, it is a considerable income.

Because of this, more people will grow potatoes next year, which is a virtuous cycle.

Such outstanding results not only shocked the entire town, but also surprised the leaders in the county.

Because of such achievements, Liu Yibang has gradually gained a lot of say and is gradually improving the local business environment and government management level.

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "I guess everyone has eaten instant noodles, right?"

Mayor Wang asked doubtfully, "Mayor Liu, are you planning to build an instant noodle factory? We mostly grow millet and potatoes here, not much wheat. If we buy flour from other places and then make instant noodles, the cost will be a bit high."

Secretary Zhou also nodded. "Yes, instant noodles are indeed a good thing! They have a very rich flavor and are quite delicious! Last time I was on a business trip on the train, I saw many people eating them. Soaking them in hot water and enjoying them with the broth is better than eating dry steamed buns. There is a market for instant noodles, but they may not be suitable for us here."

After hearing what Liu Yibang said, the other village party secretaries felt a little disappointed and felt that it was not very reliable.

Liu Yibang replied: "We're not making instant noodles, but using our vermicelli noodles to make instant food. We also put seasonings in the bag and you can just soak it in boiling water and eat it!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "This... can this be delicious?"

"Is beef vermicelli soup delicious? Is it delicious with spicy meat sauce in the vermicelli? If it is made spicy and sour and then with meat sauce, would it be appetizing?" Liu Yibang asked, not in a hurry to convince everyone, but letting everyone think about it.

Everyone thought about it carefully and looked at each other: "The vermicelli made in our town, the mutton soup and beef soup are quite good! Maybe it will really work!"

Although Secretary Zhou and the mayor didn't express their opinions immediately, they were willing to give it a try: "How about we have the cafeteria make it and give it a try?"

Liu Yibang smiled and replied, "I already told Aunt Cai yesterday to make several flavors of vermicelli soup! When the time comes, everyone can try them and choose the best one. Don't hesitate and judge fairly and impartially."

"If this instant vermicelli factory can be built, not only will we be able to sell the additional potatoes grown locally, but it will also create at least 1000 jobs, bringing economic benefits, perhaps even more than I can imagine."

When this was said, everyone was shocked: "If that's the case, can we plant more potatoes next year?"

They have land and labor, but no sales channels.

Because every household grows potatoes, some of them can be sold in the city, and the rest are eaten by themselves.

Therefore, the amount planted is not large. If it can be sold, it will definitely motivate many farmers to plant land and even open up wasteland.

Liu Yibang nodded: "Yes! We can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes! In addition, in order to ensure that there are raw materials all year round, we also need to build a large cold storage to store potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Of course, these are all gradual processes and cannot be accomplished overnight. Once we are sure that the project can be launched, we will start planning."

Everyone had a very heated discussion and looked forward to the project being approved.

At noon, everyone couldn't wait to come to the cafeteria, 20 minutes earlier than usual.

Seeing the leaders arrive, Aunt Cai quickly explained, "I cooked according to my usual mealtimes, and it's not ready yet!"

The mayor smiled and said, "Sister Cai, don't be anxious. Take your time. We just want to see what we can make with these vermicelli noodles!"

Aunt Cai heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "The base soup is bone soup, and I've already soaked the vermicelli. I'll blanch it in hot water later, pour the bone soup and various flavored meat sauces over it, and then we can eat it!"

Smelling the broth, spicy food, and the mouth-watering sour and spicy taste in the air, everyone became more curious about today's fans.

The fried peanuts were placed aside. In addition, Aunt Cai used the remaining oil to fry some diamond-shaped crispy pieces the size of fingernails.

The potato flour used is of medium coarseness. After soaking, it becomes as thick as disposable chopsticks. After being blanched in hot water, it is served in bowls.

Pour the bone soup over it, then add various ingredients, peanuts, and crackers. If you like cilantro, add some more cilantro.

Aunt Cai smiled and said, "I made three flavors. Let's try the braised pork shreds first."

"Thank you, Sister Cai!" Everyone took a bowl and started to taste it.

Everyone's attitude is very pious. This is not just an ordinary bowl of vermicelli, but carries the people's hope of getting rich and the expectation of developing the local economy.
