Once upon a time, the grocery shops in the workshop were filled with instant noodles.

This kind of delicacy created by Master Kang, a chef from the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, has been popular in Chang'an City by chance.

For ordinary children, saving up the pocket money given by their parents and then buying a box of instant noodles after they have enough money is almost the most beautiful enjoyment.

The chewing sound of "Kazkaz" accompanied many children's childhood.

As the biggest beneficiary of instant noodles, Yuchi Odaki has lived a very good life over the years.

"Shopkeeper, in the past year, our unified instant noodles sales have been basically the same as last year, and the growth rate has slowed down significantly.

The instant noodles that people can choose on the market are no longer ours and Master Kang’s family, and the competition has become much more intense.

Should we consider launching several new flavors of instant noodles next year, otherwise the sales situation next year will not be very optimistic."

Although the 21st year of Zhenguan has not passed, in the unified instant noodles workshop, Yuchi Oda-chee is already listening to Yuchi Wanzhi and Yuchi Noda report to himself about the situation this year and the arrangements for the next year.

Yuchi Wanji and Yuchi Noda were both Japanese helpers from Ishimi Yinshan at the time. They successfully joined the guard team and had the opportunity to come to the Tang Dynasty and fight on the grassland.

After making enough contributions, the Donghai Fisheries did not treat them unfairly and placed them all in Chang'an City, becoming a new generation of Chang'an people.

"Noda is right. The current sales growth is not very ideal, especially in winter, eating instant noodles is not so convenient. Many people choose to buy bread and other things to satisfy their hunger, rather than instant noodles."

Yuchi Wanzhi is responsible for the production business in the workshop. Although he is not as sensitive to sales data as Yuchi Noda, he has been deeply engaged in the industry for many years and is still quite familiar with the situation he should have.

"We have been working on developing new flavors of instant noodles. However, we cannot make too many styles. We can only choose two or three types that everyone is more acceptable to sell.

Otherwise, it will be unfavorable for our distribution and production preparation.

As for the sales of instant noodles, I think it is actually very potential.

Nowadays, people who can afford instant noodles are generally people with good income.

If we can make the vast majority of people afford instant noodles, then it will be fine if sales have increased a little compared to last year."

Yuchi Odaki's mentality is better than that of Yuchi Wanji and Yuchi Noda.

In his opinion, the market for instant noodles is far from saturated.

"Shopkeeper, do you think we should ask the people from Guanshishan Academy Business School to come and give us some advice?

I heard that Aunt Liu, who had opened more than a dozen semicolons in one go, was the business of Guanshishan Academy Business School.

If they are willing to give us some advice, the situation will likely change very significantly immediately.

In the business field, they are all very professional talents, and they may have a deeper understanding of the market of Datang."

Yuchi Noda made an innovative suggestion.

For consulting businesses like this, ordinary workshops are unwilling to spend money to do it.

Everyone thinks that what I think is very thoughtful and just do it according to my own wishes.

"Or, please consult the Hakuhodo advertising company to see if there are some breakthroughs in advertising creativity, which should also be beneficial to our sales."

Yuchi Wanzhi did not give his own suggestions without any effort.

"In our current instant noodles, in addition to the noodles themselves, the cost of the box is actually quite high.

I saw a report on the Datang Daily some time ago, saying that the wood in Nanyang is very, very cheap.

Some large shipbuilding workshops in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places are starting to transport some giant trees from the South China Sea to make sea ships.

If we entrust the instant noodles box to a workshop in Nanyang for production, can we reduce the cost?

Whether it is wood or craftsmen's wages, Nanyang is much lower than Chang'an City.

Even with the transportation fee, I think the cost of wooden boxes can be reduced by more than half, or even more.

In this way, our instant noodles can start to reduce prices immediately.

As long as the price of food is reduced, more people will buy it and our market share will also increase."

Yuchi Noda proposed another creative idea.

In recent years, the wages of craftsmen in Chang'an City have been increasing.

Now, a person's salary can be hired for more than ten years.

The most troublesome thing is this growth, and there seems to be no end to see.

People from all over the Tang Dynasty kept gathering in Chang'an City.

The population of Chang'an City has exceeded 2 million.

In this era, it is definitely an exaggerated number.

You should know that many countries have less than two million people.

Even if it is the Kingdom of Silla and Baekje, their population is only a few million.

There are so many people in Chang'an City now, and the degree of exaggeration can be imagined.

"Noda's idea is good. You can consider arranging someone to inquire about the situation later, and then find someone to go to Nanyang to contact him after the spring is beginning.

If it’s not trouble, it’s okay for us to set up a box workshop in Nanyang.”

Yuchi Odaki immediately agreed to Yuchi Noda's proposal.

“The wood and labor in Nanyang are indeed very cheap, but after all, it’s a bit far away.

I think it is possible to open a workshop in the Kingdom of Goguryeo, or in Japan.

Anyway, the wood in these places is also very rich, with a population similar to that in Nanyang, but it is much closer to Chang'an City."

Inspired by Yuchi Noda, Yuchi Wanzhi proposed a more satisfactory proposal.

Sure enough, Yuchi Odaki, who had just made the decision to go to Nanyang to find an opportunity, changed his mind in seconds.

"Tomorrow you will take a boat to Pyongyang City and Seoul, and then go to Nambajin to see which of these three places is more suitable for building box workshops.

We must act as soon as possible, and with our unified instant noodles, it will become the largest and best-selling instant noodles in Datang."

Several people were constantly discussing various cost-saving plans in the workshop, and the results were very good.

At this moment, a guy came in and put down the latest Datang Daily today, and retreated without saying a word.

However, Yuchi Odaki was immediately attracted by an advertisement picture and title on the Tang Dynasty Daily.

"Warming hot water bottle, let the hot water stay with you!"

Although this is not an instant noodles advertisement, Yuchi Odaki, who has a keen sense of smell, suddenly realized that this advertisement is actually closely related to his instant noodles.

At this time, he stopped talking and picked up the Tang Daily and read it.

Sure enough, in addition to the thermos produced in the Warm Thermoshop workshop, there is also an article specifically introducing the functions of this thermos.

Obviously, the other party spent a lot of money to get the strong support of the Tang Daily.

"Shopkeeper, is this warm-hearted thermos really as good as the advertisement says?

If that is true, it is equivalent to the water we cook in the morning and can still be used to make instant noodles at noon.

For many people, the problem of inconvenience in winter will be solved immediately."

I don’t know when Yuchi Noda came to Yuchi Odaki and looked at the contents in the newspaper together.

"You see, the warm-hearted thermos bottle mentioned in this article was invented by Dai Quan, and Dai Quan was the earliest eighth-level worker around His Royal Highness the Prince.

Even in the entire Chang'an City business district, Master Dai is very famous.

If someone else invented this thermos, I would still have to express my doubts about the slogans in the newspaper.

But if the inventor was Dai Quan, I don’t think he needs to cheat.

If you really do that, the Crown Prince will not say anything without saying anything, and it will also damage the credibility of the Tang Daily."

Although Yuchi Odaki was a Japanese, he had already entered the household registration in Chang'an City, so he completely regarded himself as a Tang Dynasty person.

After so deeply integrated into the life of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally had a deeper understanding of the thoughts in the hearts of the people of Chang'an City.

"What the shopkeeper said makes sense, and there is no need for Master Dai to fake this matter.

However, the production process of this thermos bottle looks very complicated and the cost is probably not low.

They will start selling in the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow, and the price will be very high, and there will not be many people who can afford it."

Yuchi Wanzhi's words made Yuchi Odaki feel a little cold.

Indeed, but by reading the introduction of this article, you will know that the warm-hearted thermos is not prepared for ordinary people.

How can ordinary people afford a thermos bottle that costs at least a few cents, or even dozens of cents or hundreds of cents per coin?

"What Wanzhi said makes sense. At the beginning, there were indeed not many people who could afford it, but not very few.

Whether it is the noble families in Chang'an City or the shopkeepers of various workshops, there are actually many rich people.

The most important thing is that I think that in addition to the noble family homes, those who buy this kind of thermos can also be encouraged to buy some in a unified manner to facilitate their employees to drink water and brew instant noodles.

In this way, even if the sales of thermos bottles are not very ideal, there will be no fewer people who can enjoy the benefits of using thermos bottles.

If the problem of hot water storage is solved, there will definitely be many more craftsmen who are willing to eat instant noodles in winter than before.

While other instant noodles workshops have not yet reacted, we will quickly expand the production scale and quickly give this bonus to our mouths."
