Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 177 Thoughts
Now the business of the cigarette factory is very good.

Another batch of new tobacco leaves was made.

There are also hookah and dry cigarettes in other places, but they are not as good as the cigarettes here in Bai Xiaowen.

I found a place to chat with the people from the cigarette factory.

He called someone over, and in the restaurant, he ordered some side dishes and a jug of good wine, and drank slowly.

This restaurant is also their own property.

In Zishui, [-]% of the industry belongs to Bai Xiaowen.

"How many years have you been with me?"

"Boss, this is the fourth year."

In the past four years, this restaurant has developed into one of the best in Chang'an.

Bai Xiaowen doesn't pay much attention to the desire of food and drink.

I ordered a jug of white wine and two side dishes and drank slowly.

He opened the door curtain and said to the bartender: "Change the tune, play Flying Daggers."

This is the characteristic of the restaurant, with piano music playing.

The 23-year-old who plays the song looks like a performer, with some light powder on her face.

The pipa is played very well with one hand, and the ten fingers are moved, which is very beautiful.

The sound played is sad but not tragic.

Bai Xiaowen walked over and said, "Give me the Pipa."

He took the pipa from her hand.

The woman was a little flustered and puzzled, could it be that she didn't play well.

Bai Xiaowen's movements were rough.

I also used some strength, and felt a feeling of depression and explosion at any time.

The melody is urgent and urgent, the tone stops at the highest point, and then comes back immediately.

Zhang Gui felt his mind tense.

It wasn't until Bai Xiaowen finished playing that Zhang Gui calmed down.I just feel that Bai Xiaowen is unfathomable.

The pipa girl also looked in amazement, finding it incredible. She could not have imagined that Bai Xiaowen could have such high attainments in pipa.

"I'll give you back the pipa. Have a drink?"

The pipa girl took the instrument and drank the wine Bai Xiaowen brought in one gulp.

The alcohol content is a bit high, and one drink is already five points drunk.

The eyes are looking forward and looking forward, this pipa girl is very charming.

Bai Xiaowen: "What's your name? How old are you?"

Asking someone's age doesn't seem like a good idea.

"Xiao Bai. I am eighteen this year."

Somewhat mature long,.

He gave her two dollars casually.

"What is the current situation of the cigarette factory?"

These days, there are water pipes, dry tobacco, and cigarettes. Bai Xiaowen's cigarette factory is the strongest alone, with a huge production volume.

It is also a hugely profitable industry and even occupies a huge source of funds for Bai Xiaowen.

It is precisely because of such huge profits that some people focus on cigarettes.

Others started to do it too.

But the taste is still better than Bai Xiaowen's cigarette factory.

Flue-cured tobacco is just getting started.

It is very difficult to imitate. They are all similar in appearance but not in spirit. They are fake cigarettes with a strange smell. It is not as good as the hookah dry tobacco of this era.

Bai Xiaowen's cigarettes are different. There are seven or eight types of cigarettes, including flue-cured tobacco, mixed, external flavor, and cigar. They were all slowly figured out and combined with the memory of later generations. After many years of research, it took a lot of time. It took a lot of money to tinker with some.

The daily sales of cigarette factories are huge.

It is a place where money is being made every day.

I also made a lot of charlatans.

A lot of people.

Used to transport cigarettes.

On the official road, dozens of men were transporting ten carts of cigarettes.

A box costs two cents.

This trip alone contained 2 boxes of cigarettes, worth [-] yuan.

Dozens of people walked down the street.

Along the way, no bandits came to cause trouble.

In the past three or four years, there have been several incidents at the cigarette factory.

In particular, the thirty or forty people who were transported once died in the hands of the gangsters.

Thinking that there is no living person, this case cannot be found out.

But there are clues about Bai Xiaowen's strength.Thousands of new troops went up the mountain together and killed all the bandits who caused trouble.From then on, those who dared to cause trouble were basically gone.

This is shipping in the northwest.

If you are lucky, it will be a bit difficult.

This time it is to be transported to Guangdong and Guangxi.

The journey is thousands of miles long, and it may take more than half a month to go back and forth, and you still have to rely on trains.

There were 30 NO.[-] people escorting them.

They are all more experienced.Everyone has a gun.

More than 20 people wanted to go to Guangdong and Guangxi as soon as possible.

These cigarettes cost [-] cents per pack in the northwest, and [-] cents per pack in Guangdong and Guangxi.

The reason for this is that labor costs increase huge costs and create higher risks.

There are sites all over the place.

When the delivery person arrives at a site, some people will be replaced.

"Look at those people, are they from us? Why have you never seen them before?"

"I haven't seen him before. He shouldn't be one of ours."

“It’s unrealistic to have seen them all.”

"Brother is so fair and comes to deliver goods? The weather is so hot that transporting goods is a hard job."

"I haven't seen you. Come on, have a cigarette. It's a good smoke."

The last thing they lack is smoking.

Five carts of cigarettes, containing about [-] cubes, contain [-] packs of cigarettes.

They can make more money if they ship the goods farther away.

"Have a piece."

What was handed over were compressed biscuits.

It is also Bai Xiaowen's industry, and biscuits are made in large quantities in the military.

There are also some peddler porters who will also purchase large quantities of orders, the main thing is to make it convenient.

It took half a month to travel all the way to Guangdong and Guangxi.

Unlike the northwest, there are still wars in some places here, and you can still see people begging for food along the way.

If they hadn't seen the dozens of people transporting goods, all of them strong men, each with a sword and a gun on their body, the refugees would have swarmed them.

If you can't come hard, they will come soft.

"Master, do me a favor and give me a stutter."

There are probably dozens of refugees.

Just these individuals are very hungry and have no strength. The carrier only needs three or four people to massacre them all.

"Boss, please do it."

The people delivering the goods ignored these people.

Their task is to be responsible for the safety of the goods. As for other things, they don't want to, and they can't.

Traveling abroad, with rich experience, he turned a blind eye to these situations.

There is a lot of shipping.

"Brothers, please be careful."

Looking at the terrain on both sides, it is very suitable for ambushes.

The leader of the team raised his spirits.

"Let's explore the way ahead first."

Arranged for a personal opening.

Do things as safely as possible.

What if these local forces don't give the freighters face?

Walked over, all right.

"How long will the journey take?"

"It's almost here. It will take two days at most."

Many shops in Guangdong and Guangxi have signed orders with cigarette factories.

As long as the freight passes, the distribution will be completed soon.

There are many convoys who want to transport cigarettes abroad in this way.

Bai Xiaowen ate at the big restaurant and then went to other small restaurants.I found a roadside restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

Ordered two meat dishes.

It feels like business here is okay.

The shop owner didn't understand when he saw that the driver of the car came to eat at his place.The people he comes to eat here are very ordinary people.Maybe some rich people are just different, and they want to experience other lives.

Bai Xiaowen looked at the menu.

With the same ingredients, the dishes in this restaurant should be very different from those in the big restaurant just now.

Bai Xiaowen asked: "Boss, what is your signature dish here? Have one."

The boss replied: "Braised pork, there are braised fatty intestines, and braised pork head meat."

There are quite a lot of guests here, and they are more authentic when they think about it.

Bai Xiaowen: "Okay, then give me one. Are they all fresh?"

I thought that if it was fresh, I would bring a copy to my family.

"Sir, what are you talking about? How can it not be fresh? The pork is all slaughtered on the day, and I personally pick the meat. The brine is also made on the day. We have opened a store here for several years. Seven It’s been eight years, a time-honored brand, and no one has said that our products are not good.”

Bai Xiaowen quickly apologized: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing. Please serve the food."

The boss was originally a little afraid of Bai Xiaowen's identity, but he immediately became unhappy after hearing him question his food.

After a while, the hot lo mei came over.

Bai Xiaowen started eating, and it tasted really good.

The food in this small shop on the street is no worse than the food in the big restaurant just now.

He praised and said: "It's really delicious, boss, your lo mei here is considered a must."

Hearing Bai Xiaowen's words, the boss was very happy.

The happiest thing about running a restaurant is when customers praise the delicious food.

Basic necessities of life, food and clothing are also important.

A few more food factories can be opened.

Recipe for tempeh and beef sauce, brine recipe.

Setting up a factory, making them into packages, and mass producing and selling them can make a lot of money.

Recalling the formula of later generations, I studied it myself.

Immediately after returning home, I began to write some prescriptions.

I want to try out my own recipe.

I took a large pot, put water, pork skin, green onion, ginger and garlic into the water, added seasonings, and brought the water to a boil.
Follow the steps in the recipe step by step.

These operations are very easy for him.

After a while, Bai Xiaowen walked out of the kitchen.

Bai Ling asked curiously: "Can I eat it?"

Bai Xiaowen: "It's not possible now. Wait another half hour."

Soon, the fragrance began to dissipate.

Bai Xiaowen went over and fished out all the meat inside.

The color is very beautiful.

You can't go wrong knowing the recipe this time around.

Tried it.

"what about the taste?"

"good to eat."

Need to get a few more people's opinions.

Called all the maids in the mansion: "Come and have a taste."

Serve them each with a little meat.

Waiting for their reaction, he asked curiously, "How does it taste?"

"The meat is fat and soft. After one bite, the soup flows out and spreads throughout the mouth, stimulating the taste buds. It is very delicious."

"What about you, evaluate and evaluate."

"It's very mellow, and the bone is also tasty, delicious."

At this time, Bai Xiaowen knew that this formula was no problem.

He tasted it himself, and it was delicious.

The taste is similar, and it looks like we can set up another food ingredient factory.

After getting good feedback, Bai Xiaowen can make arrangements.

Build a few more ingredient factories.

Bai Xiaowen: "Take these three prescriptions. Set up a food factory specifically."

If the seasoning is done well, it can also make money.

There are many people in need.

Bai Xiaowen: "If we hire a few chefs at high prices, they must be of good character and have high salaries."

Go find a chef.

It's just the production of ingredients, no chef is needed.

As long as you have some experience in these areas.

The guard didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to be so sad about food.

Don't be lazy.

Went to a bunch of people, "I think you work for a food factory."

"The monthly salary is 20 yuan, and it must be more than that if you do a good job."

The salary offered is high.

"Sign this contract."

Chang'an originally had a food factory.

Now there are a few more recipes, just add some production lines on the basis of the original factory.

He could read some words and carefully read all the above contracts.Xiangjiang is a place that is very particular about contracts.

But it is also for people of the same level.

If the difference is too large, the constraints of the contract effect will be gone.

He looked at the contract and was still a little puzzled.

Isn't he a cook himself, and he still needs a non-disclosure agreement? Seeing this, he was a little nervous.

"It's simple. As long as you don't reveal the recipe, it doesn't matter. There are no other requirements."

It doesn't matter if you say it.

Whoever dares to produce the ingredients on the formula.

Bai Xiaowen went to find someone to talk to him personally.

"Okay, I'll sign."

Signed it right away.

The guard then went to find the next person. According to the requirements given by Bai Xiaowen, he wanted to find seven or eight people who knew food.

The workers who make ingredients can't find people who don't understand food.

With these chef identities, the efficiency of production will be greatly enhanced.

With a high salary, basically there is no disagreement, and everyone readily agreed.

As for the secret of the formula, it is quite normal.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have paid attention to the tradition of keeping a recipe from outsiders.Pass on the male but not the female.This is relatively easy for them to do.

In a few days, the production line of the food factory was immediately set up.

Ready to start the production of the first batch of products.

The recruited chefs all read the recipe.

One person is in charge of a small process.

What the machine produces is the assembly line.

If others want to know the situation of the formula, at least three chefs need to be found to cooperate in order to formulate the complete formula.

One of the chefs looked at the above recipe and didn't think there was anything strange.It feels unremarkable, and the ingredients are some very common ingredients, such as star anise, cinnamon and fennel.

But thinking that people are willing to spend so much effort to do things, it must be unusual, and there is reason for him.

Work hard, no matter what, you have to be worthy of your monthly salary of 20 yuan.

For the production of condiments, the machine is only an auxiliary function, and the most important thing is labor.

Half a day passed.

Finally the first products are starting to come out.

The whole production workshop is full of fragrance.

"It smells so good, did we make this?"

Basically everyone went and tasted a little bit for themselves.

"It's so delicious. If you put a little of this sauce in the dish, it will be very delicious."

Everyone thinks that what they produce will be bought by someone.

Such a delicious thing, even they are willing to buy it.

On the first day of operation at the food factory, the guards personally supervised the work.

He also tasted it.

Knowing that I succeeded, I am a little happy, knowing that I have accomplished something.
