-----------------------------------------------------------
"What is this?"
When Katsu Shima, Kazuha Shioka, Sister Kohata, and Yukimaru looked at Li Xiao and brought out this large bowl of strip-shaped round food with miso soup as the soup base from the kitchen, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Li Xiao laughed, distributed the chopsticks to them, and said: "For the first time, there is only so much, you can taste it first." ”
Everyone looked at Li Xiao with a suspicious look, and then picked up the chopsticks and forked them into the bowl.
Shhhh
When Shima Katsu Takeshi picked up this round strip of food with chopsticks and swallowed it in their stomachs.
Li Xiao was looking forward to seeing them, and the light that suddenly burst out from the bottom of his eyes was overwhelmingly joyful. But this thought was only fleeting, and to Li Xiao's disappointment, they had eaten the food cooked by Li Xiao with a flat reaction from beginning to end.
"Nothing special, is it?" Shimakatsu shook his head violently and spoke.
To Shima Katsuto's words, Shioka Kazuha wiped his mouth with his hand and nodded in agreement. Fortunately, Ruomaru performed well, directly picked up the bowl, held it in front of him, and drank all the soup and water.
It seems that there is still a supporter, Li Xiao was a little relieved, and asked with a smile: "Xingruomaru, I cooked it well, right?" ”
Kowakamaru licked his lips with his tongue and said honestly, "No, lord, it's actually me who is hungry." ”
Li Xiao's face sank when he heard this, okay, I hate honest children the most.
The food he cooked was so unpopular, and seeing that his dream of coming to the god of food was about to be shattered, Li Xiao was suddenly a little discouraged, do I have to find other ways to make money?
"Well, no, it's smooth, but it's almost seasoned." Yuzhen Kohata still comforted Li Xiaoyan intimately, which made Li Xiao a little more comfortable.
"yes, if the seasoning is a little better, it will be very powerful, my lord, what is the name of this thing cooked in miso soup? Is it what you Ming people often eat? Yumi Kohata also looked very interested and asked.
Well, it seems that the main reason is that my cooking skills are a little worse, not that the product is unsuccessful.
Li Xiao found a reason, looked at the Xiaoban sisters, and said, "That's right, this is what we Ming people often eat, and the name is ramen." ”
In the past, when Li Xiao watched the Hokage, he was always drooling at the scene of Naruto eating Ile ramen.
In fact, Li Xiao has seen it in the post bar before, and for Yueben, ramen is also a foreign product, which was introduced to Yueben from China. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the great thinker Zhu Shunshui went into exile and made a bowl of ramen from the Ming Dynasty to entertain Tokugawa Mitsukuni, the lord of the Mito Domain.
After Tokugawa Mitsukuni tasted Chinese ramen, he was immediately amazed and popularized it in the court and shogunate. Since then, ramen has gradually swept the entire world, and even today, ramen restaurants can be seen everywhere in the country, and eating ramen has become a kind of all-out movement, and will affect the world in the future, so that today there are even many Chinese people who do not know the truth, and they still think that ramen was invented by this silver.
At the moment, Li Xiao taught Yuzhen Kohata how to make ramen with flour.
Yuzhen Kohata is very talented in cooking, when Li Xiao taught him how to mix noodles and ramen. Yuzhen Kohata improved the miso soup that Li Xiao used as the soup base, and added dried bonito and kelp, and boiled it, and the aroma suddenly wafted everywhere, which was several times richer than Li Xiao's use of miso soup alone.
So when this bowl of fragrant ramen was brought out, Shima Katsuto, Shioka Kazuha, and Yukiwamaru looked at the bowl of ramen with straight eyes, and their mouths were full of hazko without any image.
"I'm moving."
Fortunately, Wakamaru took the lead, picked up the chopsticks and fished out a large chopstick ramen into the bowl, and Shima Katsu and Shioka Kazuha were not far behind, and the two peerless masters almost used chopsticks instead of swords to conduct a competition on the bowl of ramen, and the table was full of soup splashing.
Looking at the scene of the three of them gobbling up, Li Xiao secretly clenched his fists, and his ramen was considered a success.
Since the taste of ramen is successful, this is only the first step, and Li Xiao's next thought is how to expand production. Although I don't know what the imitation skills are in this era, Li Xiao still wants to try his best not to leak the ramen recipe and production method for a period of time. However, there are certain risks associated with expanding production.
So Li Xiao decided to choose two women with a strict mouth and reliable work from the families of his subordinate samurai as the future ramen shop owner Yumi Kohata.
Li Xiao seriously warned them not to spread the slightest rumor about the ramen shop, otherwise not only would Li Xiao punish them, but even affect the future of her husband under Li Xiao.
Under Li Xiao's intimidation, these two women were suddenly frightened and said that they would obey and obey.
Li Xiao was satisfied with this, and promised that if they expressed their favor, they could give them a large commission every month, this money was a surprise for the two women, and it was really unimaginable to help the husband and lord's father-in-law and get such a generous honorarium.
The staff of the store was all found, and Li Xiao took over, and what he wanted to do was learned according to the theory of the half-tone marketing class, and the use of professional terminology was to do a good job in market positioning.
As a new product, it is conceivable that ramen will be welcomed by people from all walks of life as soon as it comes out. Therefore, Li Xiao positioned the consumer group of the ramen shop on the rich people. In this era, there are many rich people, and often those rich people who sit in the business are all looking like they have money and have nowhere to spend.
As long as it can meet their consumption psychology, where is not afraid that they will not pay obediently.
So Li Xiao rented a two-story storefront shop on the side of the most prosperous street in Takato Town. In the process of buying, Li Xiao also used a little bit of the general's small privilege to settle the difficult boss.
The new shop is in a pretty good location, next door is Wufuya, across the street is an izakaya, and a few steps away is the gambling house. Being able to enter and exit the above three places all belong to the high-consumption groups of this era, and it is absolutely not worrying about the patronage of the rich here.
After finalizing the shop, Li Xiao started to decorate, since the ramen shop is positioned as a wealthy person, the style must not be too low.
Therefore, the materials used in the decoration tend to use better materials, and whether it is tableware, tables and chairs, they must give people a delicate feeling.
However, the cost of investment is also a lot of expenses, which makes Li Xiao really a little painful, but he believes that it is all worth it, and the return given to him by the ramen shop is definitely a lot of money.
However, at this time, there was no industry such as interior designers, but fortunately, the Kohata sisters had good taste and gave Li Xiao a lot of advice. For example, in a few illustrations, and tasteful tea sets, Li Xiao even dragged favors and picked out a landscape painting from Takeda Shinlian, a well-known cultural person in the Takeda family.
With this painting in charge, the grade of the entire ramen restaurant has suddenly improved a lot.
After the decoration, Li Xiao was very satisfied with the effect of the entire ramen restaurant, and the only thing that might be wrong was the mood of eating ramen.
Li Xiao always feels like ordering a bowl of Lanzhou ramen at Starbucks and eating it there, which is too incompatible.
But fortunately, for the people of this era, they absolutely do not have this psychological barrier.
