"Shopkeeper? Why did the shopkeeper come to me?" Lin Wanwan was confused.
But soon, after inviting this group of people into the house and explaining their purpose, Lin Wanwan understood.
It turned out that a few days ago, the new chef of Yingke Building suddenly launched a series of high-quality noodles. The fluffy and sweet steamed cakes and Hu cakes instantly attracted the attention of all the foodies in Xiaoxi Town.
Stealing everyone's business.
As competitors, everyone naturally had to use their skills to find out what was going on. After taking turns using threats and inducements, everyone soon followed the clues and touched Lin Mengli, and then touched Lin Jiazhuang.
And at the Wanghai Town Inn, he sold all the remaining noodle base to Shan Xinrong in one go (the day the other party won the game, he took all the family savings and bought out all the noodle base in Lin Mengli's hand).
Lin Mengli was still complacent. He sold out all the noodle base Lin Wanwan gave him at the price of 200 Wen per bottle.
He was still thinking about going back to tell Lin Wanwan the good news at the end of the month!
But he never expected that a few days later, people would come to him one after another to buy noodles. If these noodles were still in his hands, they would probably have doubled and sold, and there would still be people rushing to get them.
He was too embarrassed to go back to the village to see Lin Wanwan.
It can remove the sour taste from pasta and improve its texture. This secret recipe is so popular that it instantly became popular among the upper class of Xiaoxi Town.
The wealthy households are now eyeing Shan Xinrong in Yingke Building, doubling his worth. Only a small amount of it is sold for retail every day, and the rest are all ordered by wealthy households, and the supply is completely in short supply.
Shan Xinrong also transformed into a hot chef. Although steamed cakes are not a big dish, they are fresh and delicious enough. When other dishes are similar, diners are naturally willing to choose Yingkelou which has Baiyun steamed cakes.
The shopkeepers followed Lin Wanwan into the courtyard. They were shocked first by the glass greenhouse and then by the agarwood pavilion, and then the smiles on their faces immediately became three points more enthusiastic.
Also rushing over were Chief Lin, Lin Mengjin, Lin Mengbo and other clan members.
Everyone stood behind Lin Wanwan, all of them tall and burly, with fierce looks on their faces, intimidating the visitors, for fear that she would suffer a loss.
The owners of the restaurant, the Lin family, occasionally interacted with them, and they were often cheated. They didn't like such people at all. In their hearts, the people in the restaurant who cheated poor fishermen and risked their lives for their catch should be killed.
Lin Wanwan tilted her head and blinked at Patriarch Lin, pretending to ask: "Uncle Patriarch, are they talking about the steamed cakes and pastries made by the sisters-in-law and aunts in our village?"
Patriarch Lin was stunned for a moment. Wasn't that what they were talking about? But soon, he came to his senses and replied: "Yes, yes, yes."
Several shopkeepers looked at each other, knowing that they had met their opponents.
Next, there was a negotiation headed by Patriarch Lin. Lin Wanwan only occasionally interrupted one or two sentences (a very crucial sentence or two, related to the price). The shopkeepers did not expect that the people in this poor mountain village would become so difficult to deal with. Sure enough, there was a
The descendants of the old god helped me, but it was different.
The hermits who live in seclusion seem to be returning to the countryside, but they are not the peasant class, but the gentry class. Lin Wanwan is a direct descendant of the Hou Taolin family and was raised by a reclusive master. Naturally, she is not an ordinary person in the eyes of others.
Looking at the Lin family's glazed flower house and glazed doors and windows, the shopkeepers realized that they couldn't fool these big bosses anymore. They now had a backbone, and they couldn't use force.
Behind these group of shopkeepers, there are shadows of big families. If it is the down-and-out Hou Taolin family who has the secret recipe today, it is impossible for them to come to discuss business in a polite manner. How can a fat pig deserve to sit with a tiger at the same table? The fatter the fat pig, the better.
The tiger will be happier when he eats it.
But knowing that behind Lin Wanwan there is the Xiao family with a high surname from Jiangnan, it is another situation. They are all nobles, so it is not impossible for everyone to cooperate and win-win.
For the highly hierarchical society of the Tang Dynasty, an individual's power was too insignificant, and no matter how strong he was, it was no big deal. In fact, the stronger he was, the faster he died. The interest class would naturally work together to cut off the leader.
What makes people fearful is always the power of the clan behind an individual.
Originally, this group of shopkeepers wanted to buy out the Lin family's secret recipe, but they didn't expect that the farmer here would only sell the finished product. They were so strong but also fearful of the hermit family and the Xiao family behind Lin Wanwan. They were afraid that the gain would not be worth the loss, so in the end they had to pinch their noses and admit it.
Of course, this is because the benefits are not big enough. After all, it is just a noodle. If Lin Wanwan produced glass, alcohol, etc. today, then even if there is someone behind her, as long as Hou Tao and Lin are not strong, these
People will still use blood to test the depth of the pool.
At Lin Wanwan's place, Patriarch Lin has already come forward to sign cooperation contracts with several restaurants that came over.
Although Lin Wanwan really wanted them to bid against each other and then give the highest price.
But it was obvious that these shopkeepers who were accustomed to doing business were not stupid. Of course they would not do anything that would hurt both sides. They must have discussed it with each other while waiting for Lin Wanwan to come back.
In the end, I was given a price of 3 cents for a steamed bun (steamed bun) and 8 cents for a steamed meat bun (roasted bun). Each family supplied 100 steamed buns and 100 steamed meat buns every day.
A total of five restaurants came, which means that from now on the clan will produce 500 steamed cakes and 500 steamed meat cakes every day.
After sending away several shopkeepers, Clan Leader Lin was so happy that the corners of his mouth curled up. Everyone in the clan could have a good night's sleep tonight.
Linjiazhuang makes a living by fishing. The sea is dangerous, the wind and rain are unpredictable, and there are pirates. They have to work together to make ends meet, so the whole family can be said to be a large communist collective and a big family. They work together and are controlled by the clan leader.
Distribute the fruits of labor according to labor intensity.
Now the orders signed with five big restaurants are also in the name of the clan, which is equivalent to the wealth of the whole clan, so everyone is naturally happy.
A bucket of white flour costs fifty cents. Based on this cost, a steamed cake with flour base costs two cents. If you sell it for three cents, you only make one cent, but it’s okay. As for the meat steamed cake, mutton is relatively expensive.
It’s expensive, no matter how much you save, the cost is still five or six cents, but you can earn two or three cents from a steamed meat cake, so it’s more worthwhile.
Moreover, selling such agricultural and sideline products is not considered a business, but can only be regarded as a living subsidy for farmers and fishermen, and the court encourages it.
Although the society of the Tang Dynasty was strictly hierarchical, the ruling class liked to see that the people at the bottom could shine in the area of food, clothing and clothing.
After leaving Lin Wanwan's house, Chief Lin immediately convened a family meeting with the elders and young men in the clan to discuss making steamed cakes and steamed meat cakes - it must be the wife of the family who does this kind of thing, but there is no way, generally speaking
It is said that the Tang Dynasty was still a society that favored boys over girls, so the clan meetings were naturally dominated by men.
Lin Wanwan didn't care about these.
In fact, Lin Wanwan is not good at doing business. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Fortunately, she has the confidence to lose money. Anyway, no matter what, the formula is in her hands, and she is invincible.
