Keep the original intention to inherit the skills

"Duqiao" tofu skin selects high-quality soybeans, uses pure Yellow River water, selects beans, soaks, grinds, boils, marinates, pours, presses, peels, tastes (modifies), and cools.

Adhere to quality innovation research and development

In order to ensure product quality, Du Meishou proposed the "three nos" principle that unqualified raw materials do not enter the factory, unqualified semi-finished products do not flow into the next process, and unqualified products do not leave the factory, and warned employees to firmly guard the quality lifeline

In addition to the production of tofu skin, in recent years, the company has fully implemented the rural revitalization strategy, focusing on the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, accelerating the transformation of new and old kinetic energy as the main line, and industrial integration development as the path, adopting "company + cooperative + base + village" The development model of "+ farmers" has gradually formed an agricultural and animal husbandry circular economy industrial chain that integrates land transfer, soybean planting, acquisition and storage, soybean deep processing, feed production, animal husbandry, cold chain logistics, organic fertilizer, and soybean planting.

Through the connection with Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the company has obtained soybean seed supply and technical guidance in the process of soybean production.

Drive income to get rich folks

The company purchases soybean growers with custodial land at a price higher than the market price, which ensures the economic benefits of soybean growers

At the same time, the company actively recruited more than 100 impoverished people from surrounding villages to gain employment, each with an annual income increase of more than 30,000 yuan, helping them achieve poverty alleviation

The long history and culture of Huimin County, the "hometown of grandchildren", and the handicrafts handcrafted by Qinghe Town for hundreds of years have gradually made the "Duqiao" brand popular among people

When talking about future planning, Du Meishou said frankly that the company will actively explore and innovate new models of rural revitalization, continue to expand the scale of the enterprise, and allow more farmers to participate in production, so that enterprises, villages and farmers will become a community of interests for integrated development.
