It was Fang Hui's two cousins who had not seen him for a long time.
On this cold day in the twelfth lunar month of winter, both of them were wearing a lot of clothes. They were wearing robes with fur collars and fur cloaks, brocade and velvet.
Come and rob me" were written in a row of big characters.
Song Qiu looked at it and this thought came to his mind, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fang Ji and the other two looked strange and couldn't help but ask: "Why is Dong Dong's family laughing?"
As he spoke, he looked at each other up and down, "Is there something wrong with what we are wearing?"
It's cold today. Isn't it normal to wear more clothes?
Look at the Song Dong family themselves, don't they also wear thick cotton-padded jackets that are bloated all over, and have fur collars around their necks?
They looked much more dressed than the girls in the mansion they had seen.
How can you still laugh at them for wearing so much?
Naturally, Song Qiu couldn't tell the truth, so he opened his eyes and lied: "No, no, I just saw the God of Wealth coming to my door, and I felt happy, but I couldn't help showing off."
But this is not nonsense.
Isn't Fang Hui the God of Wealth? How much money did he give her?
When Fang Jie heard these words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly, God of Wealth?
Indeed, he really was the God of Wealth who came to visit again.
However, even though he gave away the money, he did not lose money. These days, relying on the starch, he also made a lot of money, and the money he spent on buying the house was already earned back.
This is a long-term business.
First, grocery stores were opened in all the big and small counties and towns in Jingzhou Prefecture to sell starch, and then it was sold to the capital. The response in the capital was very good, and a crispy meat snack almost sold like crazy.
Now it is gradually spreading to other state capitals.
No, even Song Dongjia, who was the first to make starch, ordered a large amount of starch at the grocery store under his name a few days ago.
He said it was for making vermicelli.
By the way, he came here just for this vermicelli.
This Song Dong family really surprises him every time.
He had heard of hot and sour noodles when he was checking accounts in the south, and had also tasted the so-called hot and sour noodle set. It was really a good thing to eat when he was traveling in the wild and was inconvenient.
Therefore, as soon as I rushed back to Jingzhou Mansion, I immediately took the time to come over.
Fang Ji knew that Song Qiu liked to talk about business cheerfully, so he didn't beat around the bush. After the pleasantries, he went straight to the point and said: "Fang is here today just for the vermicelli. Fang has already tasted this hot and sour vermicelli. It's really a good one."
Good thing, I asked about it when I came here. Nowadays, in addition to the hot and sour noodles sold at Song Dong’s Songshan Inn, there are also many vendors who have purchased goods from Song Dong’s and are setting up stalls in many towns in Dongling County, but they have not expanded.
Outside Dongling County.
Fang also has a noodle shop under his name, and a grocery store that sells starch as well as vermicelli and sauce, so he plans to discuss the business with Song Dong's family and wants to ask Song Dong's family to supply a large amount of vermicelli.
Give the sauce to Fang.
In this way, it also helps the Song Dong family to make the hot and sour rice noodles famous and spread all over the world. The Song Dong family is responsible for the supply and Fang is responsible for the sales. What do you think?"
Song Qiu was not surprised at all when she heard this. She knew that Fang Hui was a quick thinker and would come sooner or later.
Since there is such a thing as sweet potato, starch and vermicelli are indispensable every year.
She sold the starch recipe to Fang Hui, but did not sell it with the vermicelli recipe, just like selling the dried chili recipe but keeping the bean paste.
You have to have something in your hands, you can't sell it all.
She just doesn't have the power and ability to expand things to all parts of the country now, and she can't compare to the mobility of the Fang family, a great imperial businessman.
If so, she made it herself, so why did she only earn this amount of money?
Now that the starch prescriptions are sold, she doesn't know how to sell vermicelli prescriptions. Fang Jie doesn't want to talk about prescriptions, but asks her to supply vermicelli. This kind of negotiation is naturally in line with her wishes.
"Young Master Fang is also an old business partner. I won't beat around the bush with Young Master Fang. I think this business can be done as Young Master Fang said."
Fang Hui was not surprised when he heard this. He didn't ask about prescriptions, he only talked about supply. As long as the Song Dong family wanted to make money, there was no objection.
"I wonder if Dong Song's family can keep up with the supply here? Why don't we start with the entire Jingzhou Prefecture first? I'll need two thousand kilograms of vermicelli, one hundred jars of sauce, one hundred jars of red oil, and one hundred bags of vegetable buns for the first batch. Do you think it's feasible?"
Song Qiu pursed his lips and thought. One pound of starch can produce eight taels of vermicelli. Zhuangzi, who gets up early every day and works hard, can produce seven hundred catties of vermicelli in one day.
If the noodles cannot be frozen the same day they are made, they will have to be hung to dry for a few days before a batch of dry vermicelli can be harvested.
Every day, the noodles are piled up in piles and collected. Evenly divided, at least 500 kilograms of dry noodles can be made in a day, tied up, bagged and put in the warehouse.
So it is no problem to supply two thousand kilograms of vermicelli at once.
As for the sauces, they are all available in jars, so you can stir-fry them right away in the afternoon.
The key is red oil.
There isn't much left of the dried chili peppers she harvested in the autumn, and I'm afraid she won't be able to supply a hundred jars of them a few times.
After all, Fucheng Xianfulai and Boss Lu all supply dried chili peppers, and the inn itself also uses them.
At that moment, Song Qiu told Fang Yuiming what he was worried about.
Fang Hui had seen the red oil in the hot and sour noodle set before. He vaguely looked at the chili shell-like thing that looked like dried chili peppers, and guessed that the red oil was related to the dried chili peppers.
I never thought it was actually made of dried chili peppers.
The chili peppers were out of season, and he hadn't even begun to use his recipe for dry chili peppers yet, so he knew Song Qiu wasn't lying.
The dried chilies are gone, so we have to wait until next autumn.
Next autumn, he will harvest a large amount of red peppers, so he won't have to worry about dried peppers.
Grocery stores can also display them for sale.
Now, if it really disappears, we can only avoid talking about it.
I think the hot and sour rice noodles would be less tasty without the red oil.
After thinking about it, Fang Jiao said: "In that case, let's sell it in some big counties and towns throughout Jingzhou Prefecture, as well as in the capital city. We will supply it as long as we can. When it is gone, we will stop selling it. Wait.
Let’s talk about it later, what do you think?”
Song Qiu nodded as he listened, "There is no need to stop selling the noodles. In fact, in addition to making hot and sour noodles, these vermicelli can also be used for cooking. If you don't sell hot and sour noodles, you can still sell the vermicelli alone.
Our inn has been serving a lot of dishes made with this vermicelli these days. Mr. Fang arrived after lunch today and hasn’t eaten it, so I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it and bring it over, so you two can try it first.”
Fang Hui was also surprised when he heard that the vermicelli could be cooked.
I originally thought that I could only sell hot and sour noodles, but it could also be used for cooking. Naturally, it would be better, and the market would be wider. It would be more appropriate to sell it in grocery stores.
The inn was not busy at the moment, so the kitchen got instructions and quickly started cooking a few dishes related to vermicelli. These dishes are also the main products of the inn these days. I like to order them a lot and eat them all.
Bragging.
Several dishes looked strange to both Fang and Hui, because they had never seen anything like this before.
Song Qiu introduced the two of them one by one and asked them to taste it one by one.
"This one is called Ants Climbing a Tree, this one is braised vermicelli with pork and cabbage, this one is braised vermicelli with pork ribs, this one is pickled cabbage vermicelli soup, and this one is cold vermicelli."
"Besides, this vermicelli can be used in many dishes. In short, it just needs to be paired with any delicious food!"
