He didn't know which island country or South Island it was, but when he heard it was the name, he felt a little ridiculous.
"Say, buddy, I'm a great chef after all, but you don't let me cook, so you let me make noodles?"
"You are so good. You really think of me whenever you have good things to do!"
Silly Zhu added sarcastically that in his mind, instant noodles were noodles made in restaurants and did not require any cooking skills at all.
"Don't worry!" Yi Chuanzong said angrily: "You are an obedient person who always listens to half of what I say. Have you forgotten that I said that everyone in the country should have enough to eat? You just heard one thing?"
"What's wrong with noodles? This is still one of our staple foods. How dare you look down on the ones below?"
"I don't mean that!" Shazhu waved his hands with a guilty conscience. He had an old habit of opening his eyes very wide when he felt guilty, and he was a little at a loss.
Yi Chuanzong did not ridicule him anymore, but explained patiently: "This instant noodles is not as simple as you think. It is a kind of instant noodles that are ready to be soaked and eaten. After a series of processing, the fried noodles become
Dry, you only need to soak it in water and add some seasonings, and it can be eaten quickly... What we do is to increase this quantity, and through large-scale manipulation of machinery, we can produce tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of dollars a day.
Ten thousand bags can be supplied to all parts of the country."
Silly Zhu frowned tightly after hearing this. The noodles are easy to make, but it is too difficult to preserve them for a long time after being fried. What food can withstand time? It will spoil if left out for a long time!
"No, the instant noodles you are talking about are not good. Ordinary dry noodles can indeed be stored for a certain period of time, and they can even be stored for longer after being fried. But if you produce so much, you have to transport it to all parts of the country. If you add in the sales
Time, who knows how long, it will definitely be broken by then!"
After saying that, Shazhu looked at Yi Chuanzong with contempt, his eyes seemed to say, this is the business you want, and it is over before it even starts.
"hehe."
Yi Chuanzong was not surprised by this attitude. He chuckled and replied: "Since I am planning to do this, of course I have a way to prevent it from breaking."
After hearing this, Shazhu came over mysteriously and asked, "What is the method?" He thought Yi Chuanzong had some unique skills. After all, with the food culture here, there are quite a lot of foods that have been stored for three to five years.
Yi Chuanzong rolled his eyes. There are upper and lower limits for a kind of food. Long-term storage like bacon is basic, and it even takes some time to be considered qualified. But where can things like noodles be found?
This technique?
What he wanted to use was, of course, preservatives.
It's just that you can't tell Silly Zhu about this kind of thing yet.
In other words, we can't tell Shazhu now, because this person doesn't know how to suffer in the imperial city.
He silently said in his mind, 'Silly Zhu, how much preservative you use depends on your ability.'
"It's a special ingredient." Yi Chuanzong replied casually and changed the topic, "Actually, I can do this myself, but I have some other requirements, or even multiple requirements. If I
It takes a lot of time to do. So, I need you to help me experiment and even help me manage it!"
There are so many businesses, and if you have to worry about each one, even one person split in half is not enough. Those business giants can only control one direction, and they are even hand-off shopkeepers. So it is a matter of finding the right person.
key.
It would definitely not be enough to rely on Silhu alone. Sometimes he is awake and sometimes he is lost. But there is nothing to say about this person's cooking. It is still very simple to study food.
Then there is his wife Ran Qiuye. She has an upright temperament and is definitely not suitable for management. But this is food after all, so her personality is very suitable. With a little tempering, she will definitely be reassuring when she manages a food factory.
Silly Zhu thought about it carefully, and he almost knew it in his mind, "What requirements are you talking about? Taste? Liang Liang? Or what?"
"All of these are what you mentioned." Yi Chuanzong nodded, and after a slight hesitation he added, "And the most important thing."
"What?" Shazhu asked quickly.
Yi Chuanzong said every word: "The cheaper I want you to study, the better! As cheap as it can be!"
After repeating it twice in a row, each time highlighting an advantage, the smile on Si Zhu's face gradually became stiff, and he said expressionlessly: "What do you mean?"
Now that he has said it, Yi Chuanzong no longer conceals it, "Yes, that's what you are thinking. I want the cost of this to be as low as possible! You can ignore nutrition when necessary! It's non-toxic and harmless, that's it
Minimum standard. Based on this standard, I want the price of noodles to be the lowest! Make it as low as possible!"
Silly Zhu's face was filled with frost, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Well, Yi Chuanzong, after all these years, I can see that you are a businessman! Let me see, you are almost the same as your father-in-law.
Already! Drinking the blood of the people and squeezing the money from the people!..."
Silly Zhu scolded him for a while, but there was no change in Yi Chuanzong's face in the middle of the process. It was not until the end that he said calmly: "Is that done? Can we do it?"
Silly Zhu bared his teeth and looked like he couldn't get enough of it. He really got it right!
This guy really thinks that!
"More than ten years have passed, and your heart is still dark! I can't do this! Please hire someone else!"
"Autumn leaves! See off guests!"
Silly Zhu waved his hands to chase away the people, and lowered his head to drink tea distractedly. Today's conversation made him feel so uncomfortable!
"You're done! Then I'll say it!"
Yi Chuanzong said calmly, "You are not happy when you hear it is cheap. You think it is not nutritious and the food you eat is not good to eat? Do you know what the situation is now?"
Silly Zhu's heart moved slightly, feeling that there was something hidden, but Yi Chuanzong said too little now, and he didn't know what the situation was, but this did not affect him from continuing to listen.
"I just said it was nutritious, but I didn't say it was poisonous."
"Actually, I'm confused. When did eating enough become a sin? Or after so many years, can all of us be full?"
Yi Chuanzong's face was full of indifference, "You must have seen it in Sijiu City. Not everyone here can have enough to eat, especially in the past few years, many young people without jobs were still eating.
!”
"Where is this? Forty-nine cities! With this scene here, do you think it would be better somewhere else? Do you still remember that people starved to death more than ten years ago!"
"You know, I know, but only if I know."
"Has this kind of thing ever had any impact on you? You were a cook at the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant. At that time, your salary was more than thirty yuan a month, which was enough to support six people like the third uncle. You were a single man and stayed here.
The only way to make money is to find a wife."
"Have you ever been hungry? When your father ran away, he left money for you two brothers and sisters to eat! You still have the connections to learn cooking from other chefs! Like me, have you ever eaten the sweet potato vines in the village? Bangzi
The lake won’t let you drink more! Do you know what that feels like?”
Silly Zhu's face trembled when he was told whether it was good or bad. He could tell clearly. He is also a good person, just like Ran Qiuye. But to say how much hardship he has endured, it can only be said that he has never suffered since he was a child.
How hungry!
Yi Chuanzong's face softened slightly, "The situation is better now, but what kind of life will this person live? Have you ever thought about it?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I can do the math for you. With the money you have saved now, the monthly salary of the two of you is more than 80, nearly 90. After excluding the expenses, there is still 60 or 70 left. Let's call it 60.
I save 720 every year, and in these years I have saved almost 10,000.”
"Then the question is, how long can you live with the ten thousand you have saved based on your current living standard?"
Silly Zhu's face was twisted, and he was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, "Brother, just say it directly! My mind is already messed up and I can't figure it out."
Yi Chuanzong did not laugh at him, but said in a calm tone: "If your life is better, then your family of three will have to spend seventy or eighty yuan a month. In the next two years, Xiangyang will eat an extra one hundred yuan a month. You can save
The money you spent for thirteen years cannot be spent for ten years, do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Silhu felt a little panicked.
In fact, a simple calculation can make it clear. Before, the couple lived comfortably on 20 yuan a month, and they saved 60 yuan a month for 13 years. Logically speaking, the money they have saved now should be enough for them to spend 39 years! Now!
It can only take ten years.
"This means that money will start to become worthless!" Yi Chuanzong said leisurely.
Silly Zhu looked around in panic, and blurted out a question before he could think of it, "What's going on?"
"What's going on? It's very simple!" Yi Chuanzong said calmly: "If you think about the past, when there was little gold and silver on the market, it was naturally valuable. But as this gold and silver are simply metals, more and more are mined.
, the value will naturally decrease."
"It's the same now, the same truth. To put it bluntly, this money is paper, which is the same as metals such as gold and silver. The difference is that this paper can be printed all the time, and this gold can be obtained without digging. In the past, everyone's salary was
It’s fixed, but now the environment has changed. In the past, you could buy a pound of meat for seven or eight cents, but you can’t buy it now.”
Yi Chuanzong grinned, "I could buy it originally, but now I can't. That means the value of money has decreased. So, where did the money go?"
Silly Zhu covered his head with both hands, looking like he had a headache, "Brother, stop talking, how can I understand this?" He was in a state of confusion now, and he was living a good and comfortable life, but suddenly the money suddenly
It has depreciated, so what should he do in the future?
"This matter is indeed very complicated." Yi Chuanzong sighed and added in a low voice, "Brother Zhuzhu, you still have tens of thousands in savings, and you only have one child. Do you know how much money others can save?
Then do you know how many children other people have?"
"Do you know what life is like in the homes of these people? Let's talk about the third uncle, this calculating master. He has saved money for most of his life. Do you think it is enough to support him in his old age?"
Silly Zhu's face was filled with painful silence, is that enough? If it were before, he would definitely say enough, but now he can't say that!
The price of meat has not increased much now. What if the price of goods increased by half in the past five or ten years?
Yi Chuanzong sighed: "Brother Zhuzi, this is how the times are! This is the characteristic of this era."
"The reason why I tell you this is to let you know that these good days are only good days for some people in a short period of time."
"Even after we arrive, everyone here will have food to eat, but others are living better, so what do you think is good?"
"In the past few dynasties, those dignitaries did not live as richly as we do, so aren't they considered wealthy? If I gave them instant noodles, maybe they would still think it was a good thing!"
Just when Silly Zhu's brain was about to explode, Yi Chuanzong concluded, "So, if you think instant noodles are nutritious, then you call me evil. Do you think you are right?"
"Instant noodles are originally prepared for those who can't eat. It's better to be full than to be hungry. If it tastes better, wouldn't it be fun to eat? If you compare everything, it won't work.
Do you think it’s possible to do anything good for you?”
Silly Zhu was silent. Silence meant he agreed. He just didn't understand it before and simply thought it was bad because it was nutritious and low-priced. But now, as long as there is such a demand, it would be too one-sided to use good or bad evaluation.
Yi Chuanzong's tone softened again, "Besides, do you know why I want you to do it, Brother Zhuzhu?"
"Why?" Silhu's voice was a little hoarse, and his mind was completely confused at this moment!
In the past, he just wanted to be a good chef and let many people eat the food he cooked and everyone would say it was good. But now he discovered that the good in his eyes is different from the good in the eyes of others!
Some people may never be able to eat such good food like his.
In addition, Yi Chuanzong had talked about money before. This was related to his family's life, and he no longer knew what to think.
Yi Chuanzong's eyes were filled with clarity, "Brother Zhuzhu, now that we have let go of everything, the boss and the chef have the final say over this meal, not the organization! Do you know what this means? This means that in the future you will
Eating out is not just about eating, the quality of the food depends on the heart of the boss and the chef!”
"I'm telling you about money because it's so useful! I used to tell my father-in-law how the salt merchants were in the past. The same applies here. This is a symbol of huge profits. As long as you have money, you don't know
What will become of this person! You can’t imagine what they can do! You don’t know their madness!”
Both Android and Apple are available.]
"When you start cooking with profit first, can you imagine what these bosses will do? I can simply tell you a few methods, including but not limited to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, false creation, cheating, publicity and other means.
What this means is that the restaurant's characteristics may compete with taste, it may use defective products to save money, it may use all kinds of bells and whistles to attract attention, it may use hype to raise prices, etc. These methods are no longer limited to ingredients and ingredients.
Food, even the psychology of consumers has been thoroughly considered. To sum up, the food used is not good, and the food made is not good, but the money will definitely be more! And it makes people feel good! Can you imagine?
In your opinion, this must be a naked deception, right?"
"The purpose of asking you to make instant noodles is to provide those who want to be full with a convenient food that is not nutritious, but also harmless and very satisfying to eat."
"A table of good food only has a few people eating it. I don't know how many people will eat a good food. Your task is to make the price of this food drop again and again. When it reaches the lowest, then
If no one will interfere in this aspect, then the health of countless people will be in your hands!"
"Brother Zhuzi, your task is very heavy!"
Silly Zhu nodded solemnly, then he felt something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "No! Did I agree? I haven't agreed yet!"
"Didn't you nod just now?" Yi Chuanzong asked in mock surprise, "You nodded and you still don't agree?"
"You...I have been tricked by your kid again!" Silly Zhu became a little angry after being speechless for a moment, and said sarcastically: "As expected of the big boss from Xiangjiang, he attacks people first, what a good method!"
Yi Chuanzong nodded indifferently, "Well, so what?"
"So, you must let me do this thing you said!" Sha Zhu looked obligated.
Yi Chuanzong grinned, "I'll put your face on the packaging of instant noodles later!"
"ah?"
"Master He's instant noodles, is there a problem?"
