The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 80 Someone Copy Homework
After the dried noodles went public, within a month or so, Cuihua asked Boss Li to pay close attention to the market feedback. Today, Boss Li came to see her.

"Ma'am, some people have made dried noodles in the market recently, most of them are thicker than ours, and they are not as well-proportioned as ours."

"One is the most special. It should be mixed with other miscellaneous grains. The color is darker and the taste is worse. The price is 50 yuan a catty."

"They're all sold in bulk, without packaging. I'll ask the family to weigh a catty for you to compare."

"These people have even sold dried noodles into the noodle shop, under the slogan of Dali Village dried noodles. I think there are quite a lot of people eating in the noodle shop."

Cuihua is very interested, imitating very fast! "Give me a look. These people are all talents, and they know how to mix miscellaneous grains. They are more innovative than the products in our workshop."

Among the pile of dried noodles, this dark one was the most conspicuous. Cuihua hurriedly asked the kitchen to cook it and eat it, and asked her family members to evaluate and analyze it.

She also picked a chopstick to import. Why does it taste so much like modern buckwheat?Cuihua was muttering in her heart, but she was in Sichuan at that time, so it seems that she grew this in the snow area, right?
"This is black wheat. Many people eat this on the grassland!" After tasting it, Mr. Fan came to the conclusion: "It's rough and rough. It's not as smooth as gray noodles, but it's definitely okay to be full."

Not only is there no problem, if this thing is the ancestor of buckwheat, future generations will use it to keep healthy.

However, this mixed noodle seems to be much thicker, not as thin as the gray noodles that can be made into hollow noodles. Most people don't pay much attention to it, and there is still a lot of market space for them.

Cuihua never thought of monopolizing the market, it just wanted to further process Zhuangzi's wheat, imitating copying homework, but it was only a matter of time.

"At present, there is no big business doing this. It should be spread by a woman in the workshop. Madam, do you want to check it carefully?" Li Butler has already arranged some people before, and he probably knows it.

"There must be an investigation. We must not let others think that we are easy to bully. However, this job does not have too much technical content. Sooner or later, the Yuan family does not want to occupy this market, so let's do it." High end market!"

Butler Li is still a little confused about this new term: "High-end market?"

"Well, we sell to rich people. You ask everyone to make the packaging better, or think about how to make the noodles more beautiful, such as making them colorful, or adding some eggs and noodles, and what? Take care of the matter and talk about it."

Guanshi He was called by Cuihua to whisper for a while, and then found Widow Zhu, and handed over the task of making noodles to her. Those who have experience as chefs are better at this.

Two days later, Yuanfu Dried Noodle Shop fired four daughter-in-laws, and the reason was also told to everyone: these few exposed the master's noodle-making skills.

The four daughters-in-law leaked to their own natal family, husband's family and so on. After the family members thought about it, there was a lot to be done.

Then, dried noodles of different lengths and fineness were tossed out on the market. They took the bulk route. The popularity of dried noodles has not subsided yet, and the supply exceeds demand.

This daughter-in-law who made wumai mixed noodles also sold the noodles to noodle restaurants in the county town, which is quite capable.

However, the four daughters-in-law were ridiculed by the crowd of the three villages, and everyone defended the Yuan family:

"This conscience is greatly broken. Tell me, what kind of life did this old Gou's daughter-in-law live in her husband's house before? Now she can earn nearly one tael of silver a month and is not satisfied!"

"Why don't you know, this old Gou's family makes her a cow and horse all day long, and there is no time to stop. Isn't working in the noodle shop better than her at home?"

"You said that she is so careless at home, so it can be seen that she is not in charge of betraying the master! The whole family is a mess!"

"Isn't it? What do you think these people are thinking? They live in a brick house bought from the Yuan family's brick kiln, occupy the Yuan family's land, earn the Yuan family's wages, and dare to smash the Yuan family's bowl!"

"Housekeeper Li said that this betrayer will not be used by her family or her mother-in-law's family in the future, and the land will not be rented to them."

"It's very interesting not to send it to the government. Let me tell you quietly, Mr. Yuan Qian is the new emperor's confidant!"

Several people put their ears together, and asked in a low voice: "Huh? Tell me, why are you the new emperor's confidant?"

"You know this cement road. I heard that Mr. Yuan Qian made it. You think our official road has been built like this. It is said that the place south of the Great Yellow River has all the official roads. How much money has this made for the new emperor? Silver?"

Everyone exclaimed: "This, this is too capable, my mother, the Yuan Mansion is so kind!"

Everyone talked a lot, most of the villagers were still very righteous, condemning these traitors, the good reputation of the Yuan family was added another layer.

The few people who were expelled, because dried noodles are easy to sell, quickly saved some money and moved to live in towns or county towns. They really listened to enough gossip every day, and arrogantly thought that if they have money, they can't settle down and do business ?
The two heads were very angry when they heard about this, and they clamored to beat the other's child to avenge their mother.

"Mother, why don't you send them to the government, they will be punished for revealing the master's secret recipe!" The big head was puzzled, why this matter was handled lightly.

"They should lose money and use our formula to earn their own money!" The second also felt that it was unreasonable.

"Our farm only produces so much wheat a year, and we can probably sell it in two or three months!" Cuihua explained to Wa.

"It's sold out, so let's buy some wheat from the farmer's house and sell it as dried noodles?"

"Then we have become merchants. How are you going to take the imperial examinations in the future? The grain you grow at home is processed at home and sold in your father-in-law's shop. Our family is still a family of farming and studying!"

"It's still about our imperial examinations? But why didn't the court give imperial examinations to merchants?"

"Go to Mr. Fan about this, and he will explain it to you."

"What's the most important thing? Our noodle is not a complicated technology. A smart person can learn it at a glance!"

"What other people learn is different from what our own people leak!" The boss is very good at focusing on the key points.

"Yeah, what the boss said is right, but we didn't sign a confidentiality contract with these people. It's also our mistake, isn't it?"

The two of them knew only a little about Cuihua's explanation, so they went to Mr. Fan to entangle them, and they agreed: Mother is a woman after all, it's too kind.

After Mr. Fan's explanation of the imperial examination system, the two didn't quarrel, but they still wrote to their friends to complain, just because they didn't want to suffer.

The queen is really boring these days. After listening to the prince talk about it, she even announced Cuihua into the palace.

"Wai Li, come here quickly, why don't you take the twins into the palace and show me?" Empress Gao asked someone to help Cuihua up, as if she wanted to talk about family matters.

"Returning to your mother, when the minister's wife went out today, the two boys were sleeping soundly, and they were afraid that they would make a fuss if they were carried out."

"Children are just as good as they are. The last time Princess Jingyao went to your house to drink the full moon wine, she said that the two younger brothers are so good-looking. I heard this and wanted to see these two little guys."

"Hey, empress, the mother doesn't think the son is ugly, but the courtier's wife is biased. No matter how I look at it, I think they are good-looking, haha"

"You really haven't improved at all, you just tell the truth all day." The two talked about the child for a long time before the queen asked about the noodles.

"I've heard about your noodles, what do you think?" Empress Gao looked at Cuihua and asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, this noodle is not a complicated skill. It will be a matter of time before someone learns it. My wife doesn't want to make a fortune from it. She just wants to process the wheat you rewarded from Zhuangzi and then sell it. The important thing is to find some money for the daughters-in-law in the village."

"Besides, the oyster sauce shop you opened, ma'am, there are people from the big family to share the profits. It can't make all the money of the world."

"You are more open-minded. It is estimated that there will be businesses in Beijing that will open workshops larger than yours in a short time."

"Then how about, empress, my wife will give this method to you. You can see which businesses are suitable, and let's give more people. When there are more noodles here, everyone will naturally stop!"

"You said you, and you still want to come to you to support you, but you are good, and you even sent Fangzi to your door. What's so good about you?"

"Those merchants will learn sooner or later. If they make a fortune, it is better to give it to you. You can ask the designated merchants to recruit more daughters-in-law to do the work. Hey, ma'am, you don't know how difficult life is for the daughters-in-law in the village."
