In the midst of everyone's watching, Xue Yu broke the calm and said, "Why don't I try one!"

He picked up one first, sniffed it slightly, and subconsciously said, "It smells, it's good, I don't know how it tastes!" ”

Sun Ji and they are not superior, even if they are on duty, they are not unable to eat any steamed buns, in the field on duty, and even in some special operations, they have eaten a lot of steamed buns, which look a lot bigger and taste a lot more fragrant, but I am afraid that it is really just the appearance, maybe, it is still gold and jade, and it is ruined.

Zhao Xin has created a lot of miracles, but steamed bread is different, steamed bread was invented more than a thousand years ago, to now, how many years, not no one has changed the practice of steamed bread, but in addition to cooking cakes and pasta, there is really no way to solve the problem of steamed bread.

Let's say, steamed bread is also delicious, in the process of steaming steamed bread, there will be less sour, even very fragrant, because of this, some people try to do this, and find that there is no law at all, it seems to come out of thin air, deliberately do it, but it can't be done, inadvertently, it comes out.

People in this era have no knowledge of chemistry, let alone fermentation, and they don't even know why steamed steamed buns turn sour, to put it bluntly, some microorganisms decompose flour into vinegar, and the sour and bitter taste brought by vinegar is not known.

It's not so sour, maybe when fermenting, vinegar appears less, or the yeast is relatively pure, no vinegar is produced, or it is accidentally neutralized, this probability is very rare, but it is the real taste of steamed bread in later generations, that is, the taste that Zhao Xin wants to make now.

In the spotlight of everyone, Xue Yu took one of them casually, it was a big mouthful, the taste that should have been sour and astringent, it was gone, it was very soft, it was also very long, and the taste was very special.

"Is this still a steamed bun? Why is it so delicious! Xue Yu said with some emotion, with his city government, he was still so surprised, a few people next to him were very familiar with him, it was impossible for Xue Yu to deliberately deceive them, besides, who hasn't eaten sour steamed buns, and they won't die if they eat it, and a few people next to him will pick it up and eat it.

They really didn't know if they didn't eat it, they were shocked when they ate it, they didn't expect that this steamed bun was really played by Zhao Xin, and they looked at Zhao Xin in disbelief, does the powder burned out of fire really have such an effect?

Zhao Xin has a hand of immortal arts, making such a terrible weapon as a longbow, and even the kitchen knows that the sour steamed buns themselves have become fragrant and sweet.

For the poor masses, this is a good thing, flour is cheaper than rice, much cheaper, ordinary people have to eat steamed bread, there is no way to do it, after all, to fill the stomach, not everyone can afford to eat good rice, the biggest problem with steamed bread, the sour taste is gone, more textured, from the hard to swallow drudgery, into a delicacy, which is very lucky for ordinary people who can't afford to eat rice.

Seeing Sun Ji and the others, more on the taste of steamed buns, Zhao Xin shook his head, it has been clearly stated that this is for making money, how can they not think about it, Zhao Xin has no choice, so he has to set his eyes on Miao Yuan, compared to Sun Ji and others, Miao Yuan knows a little more about general affairs, he should think about it.

When Miao Yuan was in the kitchen, he was really thinking, Zhao Xin asked him to do an investigation and told him that this thing was meant to make money, so he had an extra mind, selling steamed buns, a choice that had never been made before, seemed to have become a good choice.

Anyone can steam steamed buns, everyone buys flour and makes their own, other steamed buns are bitter and astringent, and a little hard, this one is crispy and soft, the size is big, the taste is stronger, this is stronger than anything, this is a unique business.

There is no need for Zhao Xin to point it out, Miao Yuan already knows, what is the business he is talking about, that is, the food business, whether there is anything to do, for Miao Yuan, it is too much to do, and finally understands why Zhao Xin asked him to investigate Baozhou City, just to pave the way for sales.

Baozhou is a natural market, for other cities, maybe it's not the same, steamed bread business, it is unlikely to spread out such a big market, slow progress, even if the taste of steamed bread is first-class, it is impossible to quickly occupy the market, the money in the hands of ordinary people is limited, far inferior to the military.

In addition to being a big city, Baozhou is also the capital of the border military state, with at least eight or nine thousand soldiers stationed, which is counting the Xiang army, as well as a large number of officials and merchants, and it can be regarded as a county with a population of seventy or eighty thousand, and the resident and floating population combined, more than 100,000.

The Xiang Army and the Baozhou Army, they are local, with more relatives, let's say that the Yunyi Army of 2,500 people, they are the forbidden army, the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the strongest military force in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it will be transferred with the change of stationing, and the family members did not follow, except for a small part of the time, eating in the army, most of them are eating outside.

The Northern Song Dynasty for soldiers, in terms of Yulu, quite expensive, 1 month of money, this is just the foundation, after going out to station, there are all kinds of subsidies, plus during the Renzong period, because of the rise in prices, the part of the promotion of Yulu is enough to feed a large family, come out as a soldier, part of the monthly salary and grain, will be withdrawn at the station, and the other part is directly withdrawn, more than 1.5 times a month.

1.5 guan, in the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, is a very large amount of money, in a stone of grain seventy or eighty wen, is a lot of money, placed in the Renzong period, increased by more than 10 times, but you can still buy 2 stone of grain, which is not a small amount of money.

The forbidden army is like this, and so is a part of the box army and the Baozhou army, plus some outsiders who do business, and most of the guys in the shops are foreigners, and to ensure their food, many restaurants came into being.

Baozhou's catering is very developed, steamed bread has not had much market, at most is noodles and flat food, the appearance of this steamed bread is a unique business, others can't learn.

Three big steamed buns are full, no one can replace this, relative to the noodles and flat food, as well as cooking cakes, the price is relatively high, cooking cakes, must be added sesame seeds, sesame oil and salt, so that the taste of the cooking cakes can rise, so as to increase the cost, steamed bread is different, it looks very good, it looks very big, in fact, a steamed bun, that is, about two taels of flour, the cost is very low.

After Miao Yuan asked the old mother who steamed the bun, he knew that in addition to adding the powder provided by Zhao Xin, there was no other thing added to the entire steamed bun, but the size of the steamed bun increased by almost one-third, and the taste and the degree of entrance also increased, as the most basic product, the cost of this product is very low, and to a certain extent, it is flour and unknown powder.

The price of cooking cakes is about 5 Wen a, three or four cooking cakes can be full, and the consumption of a meal is 20 Wen, if it is replaced by steamed bread, his price is not much higher than that of cooking cakes, and it can replace cooking cakes and become a new application of pasta.

Miao Qi is also a strong man, originally to eat three or four steamed buns, will be full, now, at least you can eat less 1, counting others, according to a steamed bun 3 Wen, or two steamed buns 5 Wen, there is definitely earning, this is the easiest way to be full, said 2 buckets of rice can make a person full, but that is pure food, stupid soldiers and others, if you go to the market to eat, at least 20 Wen or more, that is still the simplest, such as noodles or ordinary food, a little more meaty, At least about 30 texts.

The cost of this steamed bun is about 1.5 flour per stone, 300 wen per stone, less than 3 wen per catty, you can make 10 steamed buns, as long as that little bit of stuff, the price will not exceed 1 wen each, double the profit.

Zhao Xin said that it is a money-making business, so the price of this powder should not be very expensive, as long as the price does not exceed a certain range, such a business can definitely be done, and even sold throughout Baozhou.

180 catties of noodles, made 1,200 steamed buns, used 1 catty of soda ash, because in this era, there is natural soda ash, the price of soda ash is not expensive, a catty is only 7 Wen, this is still the price in the card system, that is to say, one or two halves are less than 1 Wen, the average to 1200, basically is minimal.

Zhao Xin can't buy steamed buns to divide it, he doesn't have the time, he doesn't have the energy, he can only sell products, this is a real unique business, even if there is soda ash, there are more natural impurities, a little mixed with a little poisonous, added to the steamed bread, it is not delicious, it is terrible.

Chemicals, not to mention a small amount, sometimes, a few milligrams are enough to kill, such as some nervous agents, or chemical agents, a few milligrams are enough to kill.

The most important thing in food is safety, no risk can be taken, and Zhao Xin has a card system, which can see most of the impurities in the molecular formula, so he dares to add it to food.

At present, the card system is limited to fine powder, which is easy to add, not to mention, and the form of ordinary soda ash is also very different, so it is enough to keep it secret.

Miao Yuan took the initiative to ask Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin did not hide the price of this powder, he directly told him that it was about 1200 wen per catty.

Basically, for a steamed bun, he has to draw 1 penny, which is basically a considerable proportion of the profit, almost 160 times the profit, which is very amazing.

Zhao Xin knows the price, Miao Yuan doesn't know, his psychological price is about one penny, the cost of such a steamed bun is less than 1.5 Wen, how to sell, whether it is 3 Wen one, or 5 Wen two, there is a great profit.

Sun Ji and the others were stunned and watched the exchange between the two people, 1.2 yuan per catty, this is not much, look at Zhao Xin's work so hard to get it out, a few days, and do this, and do that, it takes a lot of effort, but on average, each steamed bun costs 1 more Wen, this is not a small number, can you still make money?

Even if you can make money, how much can a steamed bun make, how much can you sell every day, thirty fifty, or three or five hundred, such a small business, why is Miao Qi so excited, happy.
