Chapter 603 The Ingenious Odagiri
Of course, Odagiri didn't know what instant noodles were before.
However, "Datang Daily" introduced the advantages of this new gadget in detail, and also pointed out that this instant noodles will be used as military rations for Datang.
This gave Odagiri a deeper understanding after reading the article.
After all, he had just returned from fighting on the grassland.
Like other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Odagiri was satisfied with eating mutton every day at first, but within a few days he missed the old days.
Nowadays, if this instant noodles is used as military ration, it has a very different meaning if it is really as good as what the newspapers say.
"Just by steaming and then frying the noodles, you can make instant noodles that taste good, are easy to store, and can be eaten with water? How can we actually have such military rations at this time?"
Odagiri read the article from beginning to end with bright eyes, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
"Wan Zhi, you go and buy a batch of flour now and come back. We'll have the cook try making instant noodles right away to see if it's as simple and delicious as the newspaper said."
Take action when your heart moves.
In just a short moment, Odagiri had already thought about it.
If the instant noodles were really what the newspaper said, then he decided to start an instant noodle workshop, specializing in making instant noodles.
As an outsider, it is difficult to diversify your business with Xungui. It is better to focus on a completely new field, and you are more likely to make a name for yourself.
"No problem. Datang has had a bumper harvest this year, and the price of flour is also declining. If it is processed into instant noodles, the selling price will go up immediately. The profit margin is probably not low."
After Yuchi finished speaking, he quickly walked outside the house.
…
"Suck! Suck!"
Odagiri and Yuchi Wanji, each with a large porcelain bowl, ate the freshly baked instant noodles with relish.
"Captain, this "Datang Daily" really never tells lies. This instant noodles is really as simple and delicious as it says."
Yuchi Wanzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead with a satisfied look on his face.
Before entering Iwami Ginzan, he was an ordinary farmer in the Japanese country who didn't even have a surname. He worked hard every day and couldn't get enough to eat.
Now they all have their own courtyard in Chang'an City. In order to better take care of each other, Yuchi Wanzhi's courtyard is adjacent to Odagiri, but the area is a little smaller.
In order to find such a neighboring house, Yaren really put a lot of thought into it.
Of course, Yuchi spent a lot of money to complete his treatment.
"Aren't there some on-site empty workshops in Workshop City? I plan to go there this afternoon and take a look. If the price can be negotiated, I will buy a workshop today and arrange for someone to build special cooking utensils and large oil pots.
"
After all, Odagiri was a person who broke out of the sword mountain and the sea of blood, so his courage was naturally extraordinary.
Obviously, the "Datang Daily" clearly stated all the information about instant noodles, and Odagiri himself was definitely not the only one who could read this article.
At this time, whoever moves quickly and is determined enough will be able to gain a firm foothold in this new field.
One step ahead, one step ahead.
That's the truth.
"Okay, captain, I still have some money. If you don't mind, I'm willing to give you 30% of the money. I only need 20% of the money."
Although Yuchi Wanzhi was also more flexible in mind, his status and status were not as high as Odagiri's, and he had no sense of presence in the Chu Palace.
Unlike Odagiri, he could be personally received by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and could visit Wang Fugui at any time.
"Thirty percent of the money naturally corresponds to 30% of the shares. Wanzhi, I know what you mean, but you still don't know who I am, Odagiri? This is not my mother-in-law's business. It's important to work separately. I'll tell you later.
Just go to the workshop city and go find the craftsmen to discuss customizing your own utensils."
…
Liu Fang is now the leader of an engineering team of Nanshan Construction Engineering.
After so many years of hard work, an ordinary farmer in Liujia Village has now become famous in Chang'an City.
Recently, his engineering team was assigned to carry out construction work in Workshop City.
All houses are design drawings. Logically speaking, this kind of project is not difficult, and there is no need for him, the person in charge, to follow it up personally.
However, this project is a project of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and it was personally arranged by His Highness the Prince of Chu. Naturally, everyone at Nanshan Construction takes it very seriously.
Besides, there is a biogas pool in the design, and the so-called biogas must be used to boil water and light lamps. The difficulty of this project has suddenly increased.
"Boss, this instant noodles is so convenient. Just boil a pot of hot water and you will have something to eat immediately. This way, some craftsmen will not be hungry even if they delay their meal."
On the construction site of Workshop City, Liu Fang and several craftsmen sat on the steps without any barriers, holding a large pottery bowl and eating instant noodles in it.
Since the "Datang Daily" published an article about instant noodles, some vendors appeared in Chang'an City the next day selling their own instant noodles.
Without large-scale production, the processing of instant noodles is indeed not that difficult.
Some people who read the newspaper thought it was novel, so they spent a few pennies to buy a piece and took it home to soak in and eat it themselves.
Or you can eat directly at the small table next to the stall.
It can be said that the vendors who first tried selling this instant noodles basically made a little money.
Of course, there is definitely no big money.
The appearance of these small vendors further strengthened the determination of Odagiri and other interested merchants to join the instant noodle workshop.
In just ten days, instant noodles mass-produced in instant noodle workshops began to be sold in the east and west markets.
Nanshan Construction Engineering has more than tens of thousands of craftsmen distributed throughout the Tang Dynasty, so the demand for this kind of fast food is naturally very strong.
Coupled with Wang Fugui's advice, as soon as this instant noodles came out, Nanshan Construction Engineering purchased a batch for the craftsmen on the construction site to eat.
"Yeah, it's nothing like when we first built the Daming Palace and the cement road from Chang'an to Liangzhou. As long as you miss your meal in the winter, basically don't expect anyone to give you hot food or rice."
Liu Fang burped with great satisfaction and shared his great achievements in the construction of Daming Palace with the craftsmen around him.
Although the craftsmen around Liu Fang have heard this story many times, they still have to pretend to be interested.
He even asked a few questions from time to time to show that he was really listening carefully.
It’s really hard for these people.
It seems that no matter what you do, it has its own difficulties.
