"The moon is round tonight." Li Yi stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked up at the sun.

The eunuch Ziyu in the back thought about it for a moment and agreed: "The proprietor is really powerful." ”

"Tobe's noodles are selling well? The people accepted it? Li Yi remembered the noodles.

"It is more cost-effective than grinding noodles by the people themselves and then making noodles, grinding noodles must be grinded, and the price of buying noodles is not low."

Biha spoke up in the back and commented on the noodles.

"Even if you buy noodles, you have to cook them, and if you don't turn on the fire at home, it's troublesome. Let's help the people who are struggling to cook noodles. ”

Li Yi finally saw the dagger.

Before noon that day, the people in the Zhuangzi brought things to the shoeshine children.

A pottery bowl, a pair of chopsticks, a bamboo board, and instant noodles wrapped in raw-edged paper.

When it was time for lunch, the children went to the homes of the people in each workshop and asked if there was boiling water, and if not, cold water would work.

A workshop is so big, it is impossible for no one to have boiling water.

They don't, and they also have in the temple.

Everywhere people saw the shoe-shining children washing the pottery bowls, bamboo boards, and chopsticks first.

Then open the bag of raw paper, take out a square made of noodles, and put the cube in a bowl.

Pour hot water and cover it with a bamboo board.

It didn't take long for the child to pick up the bamboo plank, and the aroma wafted out from the bowl.

Smelling, there is the smell of chopped green onions, and there is also the smell of meat.

Chopsticks use chopsticks to flip the noodles a few times, bow your head and blow to drink the soup, then pick a few noodles and suck them into your mouth and eat them in small bites.

"What is this? Can you soak the noodles with boiling water? Just take a short soak? ”

Some of the onlookers were curious, so they stepped forward and asked for the others.

"Li Zhuangzi's instant noodles, cooked, can be soaked in cold water, if you can't do it, you can chew it dry."

The shoe-shining child said what the dealer told when he delivered instant noodles.

"How much does this cost?" Sure enough, someone asked for the price.

"It's twice as expensive as noodles, but you don't have to cook it yourself to eat this, there is still a taste in it, and all the salt and everything is put away."

The shoe-shining child said and drank the soup again, and the hot soup tasted good.

"How? Put something else in the dough, cook it and dry it? No, I can't. ”

"Boil it, put it in the pot and burn it."

"Don't say it's fried, yes, fried, fried in oil, isn't it cooked after frying?"

"Almost, the Li family Zhuangzi is willing to use oil."

"It's expensive to fry it yourself, and it's cheaper to do more."

"Mix the noodles first, put the other things in when you mix the noodles, make noodles, fry them in oil, and that's it."

"Ask the Li family when the Zhuangzi will be sold, buy one and try it."

The people in Chang'an spread the word that Li Zhuangzi made a kind of noodles that could be chewed dry and soaked in hot and cold water.

The key is that the price is cheap, twice as expensive as the noodles sold now.

Deep-fried with salt, chopped green onion and star anise.

Bring a piece with you, it's much better than fried noodles and ganba crackers.

So the household department sold noodles and helped the people to accept the living habits of buying noodles.

Li Zhuangzi's instant noodles were similarly accepted, and better.

"I know he didn't have a good heart." In the evening, a group of people ate in the prime minister's box in heaven and earth, and Bi Gou was helpless.

Tobe promoted noodles a few days ago, but it took a lot of effort.

First, it was given to the officials' homes, and the others went to the officials' homes to take a look, and well, they also bought them.

Naturally, it is not possible to ask for money and build costs for officials.

As a result, there was just an improvement, and profits began to be made, and the household officials only shared the money once.

Not only tired, but also dissatisfied, the impeachment chapter of the Yushitai was sent up.

Li Zhuangzi is smart, just wait for ready-made, instant noodles are thought to be good.

I am a scholar, and I still can't see this thing?

"Eat, try this instant noodle." Yao Chong picked up the other upside-down bowl on the bowl and looked at the soaked noodles in the bowl.

Sure enough, there was a fragrance wafting out, and it looked good.

Picking it up and taking a bite, Yao Chong nodded: "Yes, it is indeed convenient, instant noodles, good name." ”

"You don't need to mind Longze, it's twice as expensive, and some people are reluctant to buy it after all." Lu Huaishen was relieved.

Bi Gou shook his head: "How much money do the rich and noble people still have?" They found out that there was something better, and who still eats somen noodles? There is no taste. ”

"Long choose, the household department also learns to do it." Zhang said to give an idea.

"I can't learn it, it's too troublesome, I have to buy a lot of ingredients, and I have to fry it. You see, the color of instant noodles is a little whiter than that of somen noodles. ”

Bi Gou pointed to the instant noodles and said that he knew that Bai Na, but it would take a lot of effort.

Yao Chong recalls the color of the noodles and admits that there is a difference.

He took another sip of soup: "Ask him again, if there is any other way to make money, first give the tax on instant noodles." ”

He instigated Bi Gou to collect taxes on the dried noodles in the household department, and the price set was only half of the instant noodles.

This instant noodle is obviously highly profitable, so I went to Li Yi to ask for money.

"If you don't go, he will only pay taxes if there is a profit, what did I say in the past? Only he was accepted, and he promised to tell me that he would lose money selling instant noodles. ”

Bi Gou is not fooled, one is unable to collect taxes, and the other is to offend people.

In the future, I still expect Li Yi to give an idea, it's a big deal to sell the noodles to a farther place.

"Look, I'll just say yes, if he doesn't come up with something every few days, it's not Li Yi." Lu Huaishen is also superstitious now.

"It's also good for the people." Bi Gou felt that he had been calculated, but he still admitted that instant noodles were good to eat, and many families in Chang'an did not fire.

Li Yi in Zhuangzi also eats instant noodles, and he has eaten them several times.

To be honest, he doesn't like to eat very much, and when he thinks of instant noodles, he feels awkward.

At that time, the Chinese people had never regarded instant noodles as a main meal, and they only ate them when they had no choice.

Unlike the country on the peninsula, which is obviously very rich, eating instant noodles is like eating something good, it has to be cooked, and a bunch of dishes are laid out, which is very ceremonial.

In his opinion, with that kind of work, he can not only eat the noodles below, but also stir-fry.

"Only when there are more people who like to eat noodles can the flour milling industry be promoted. A small hand-cranked flour mill may seem to have a small output, but it can also provide a job for people. ”

Li Yi was there to tell the palace maids and eunuchs about his plans.

He didn't want to make a pitfall, he wanted to make an assist, give an assist to the flour, and by the way, try whether the crushed parts of the porcelain are good or not.

If it is easy to use, even use old bamboo to make the outer avoidance of the hand mill, the middle grinding place is porcelain, and the other parts are iron.

In winter, when I don't have much work except to dig the ice, I shake and shake at home alone.

Shake out the flour, and it is always an income.

Nowadays, wheat is used for cooking a lot of times, and it's good to eat wheat rice once in a while, but it doesn't feel delicious after a long time.

Otherwise, why would the Chinese people grind wheat into flour?

If the rice is not delicious, the rice is made into rice noodles.

"Proprietor, in that case, the price of things will rise." Qing Song pondered.

The wheat is ground into flour, and the one who grinds the flour makes money, and the same wheat has more money.

"Yes, slowly the price will rise, and finally balance, this is the problem of currency depreciation in the process of social development, to solve this problem, we need better production technology into productivity."

Li Yi praised Qingsong and gave it a thumbs up.
