Now that you have decided to open an instant noodle workshop and have sufficient start-up capital, you can start. Jingwen immediately asked people to recruit some people and let them start making zuò instant noodles. This method of instant noodles is not difficult, as long as you know how to mix the noodles, and then knead it into noodles and knead it into a dough that can be fried in the pan. Moreover, this kind of instant noodles is not for the emperor to eat, so the zuò will naturally not be the same as the one in the palace, the zuò is rougher and the taste is poor, but it can still be eaten.

On this day, Jingwen left the palace and came to the camp of the left guard, and made an appointment with this Cangcao of the left guard to join the army. The army of the Tang Dynasty was divided into 16 guards, which led the government soldiers of the world. In fact, the government soldiers are a kind of reserve, a military system that integrates soldiers and peasants. The so-called Sixteen Guards are only remotely led to the government soldiers, and do not directly control the army. However, these government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty also had a group of standing troops, which were troops who served in turns. These standing troops were about 600,000, while the various registered armies of the Tang Dynasty were more than 1 million. In addition to the left and right Qianniu guards and the left and right prison guards are the emperor's guard troops, the other twelve guards have an average of about 50,000 standing troops.

And the reason why Jingwen found Cangcao to join the army is because there are two such people in the Twelve Guards, who are responsible for the logistics affairs in the army, and in later words, they are the logistics ministers. This logistics minister does not have a high status, that is, an eight-rank petty official.

"What do you have to do with this officer? This official is very busy, and he doesn't have time to talk to you much, and he has something to say and fart. That Cangcao joined the army and said.

Jing Wen scolded in his heart: "Your grandfather's, isn't he an eight-rank official?" Isn't it a deputy director in the later generations? But with your attitude, I'm afraid that the deputy ministers don't have the arrogance of you. ”

However, as a salesman, of course, you should lower your attitude and say, "My lord, I'm here to sell a kind of noodles." ”

"Oh? If you want us to buy it, then you can talk about it openly, why do you need to meet me privately? This Cangcao joined the army and said with a businesslike appearance.

However, Jingwen could clearly see that this guy was hinting that he wanted benefits.

Jingwen immediately said: "My lord, I sell instant noodles, if you can purchase our instant noodles, I can give you a penny rebate for each instant noodles." ”

"Oh? What is a rebate? Cangcao asked when he joined the army.

After Jingwen explained what kickbacks were to this Cangcao joining the army, this Cangcao joining the army immediately lit up. Because if you accept bribes directly, it is very risky, because now the Tang Dynasty is very strict in anti-corruption. However, if it is a kickback, then the law does not clearly stipulate it, and it is taking advantage of the loopholes in the law.

"Where's your noodles? Let me see! Cangcao asked when he joined the army.

Jingwen immediately took out a wooden box, and then opened it to show this Cangcao to join the army. And Cangcao joined the army and obviously asked about a fragrance, which is the aroma after frying.

"This noodle is very fragrant, how can we eat it?" Cangcao asked when he joined the army.

Jingwen immediately brought a large bowl, then put the dough cake down, and then poured hot water, and slowly loosened the dough with chopsticks. After that, after the noodles were completely loosened, Jingwen poured the sauce into the noodles.

"Hmmm! It smells so good! Cangcao said when he joined the army.

"Lord Joiner, do you want to try?" Jingwen asked.

Cangcao joined the army and smelled this aroma and wanted to try it for a long time. Now that Cangcao joined the army and heard Jingwen say this, he immediately couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and began to eat.

"Whoosh...... "The soldier ate it, and he didn't look like he was eating at all.

Cangcao joined the army and obviously felt that this noodle was too delicious, and the things he ate before were like pig food. The food in the army in the past was really garbage, and it couldn't be compared with this instant noodle at all. Cangcao has already decided to join the army, and he must purchase this thing. Not to mention that Jingwen also gave him a penny rebate for each dough cake, which is probably the four dimes of later generations. Don't look at this dimes is not much, but this kind of military procurement is tens of thousands of purchases, which adds up to a lot. What's more, it is impossible for each person in an army to eat only one bread! I'm afraid that a purchase needs to be made according to at least ten breads per person. And this may only be a few days' worth of purchases, and then it will have to be purchased continuously. Then you can get a huge source of wealth!

"Lord Joiner, what do you think of this noodle?" Jingwen asked.

"Good!" This Cangcao joined the army and gave a thumbs up with both hands in a row.

After a while, Cangcao joined the army and said helplessly: "It's a pity! Sometimes it's hard to boil water during our march, so we may not be able to eat this instant noodle in an emergency! ”

"My lord, we also made a kind of bowl that can be used to boil water without firewood. As long as you use a bowl like ours, the problem of boiling water can be solved very quickly. ”

Jingwen immediately took out a bowl and explained the purpose of this bowl.

This bowl is actually very simple, that is, the bottom of the bowl is made of copper sheets, and there is also a base. The base is made of pig iron and is wrapped in wood for thermal insulation. You can put lime in the base, and when you need it, put lime into the base, and then fill it with water. Lime will heat up when it encounters water, and the temperature can reach up to six or seven hundred degrees. Then, you can put the bowl into the hole above the base, and the bowl is filled with water, and the lime and water under the base can generate temperature through the copper sheets under the guò to the water in the bowl, so that it can be boiled.

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Not only can this thing be used to make noodles, but it can also be used to boil water at critical times. Especially when it snows, it can be used to get hot water, which is also good for the army. How much does this bowl cost? Cangcao said when he joined the army.

"A hundred dollars a pair! If you purchase one, you can get a rebate of 10 cents! Jingwen continued.

"Okay, I've purchased these two things!" Cangcao joined the army and said.

Then, Jingwen left the Zuowei camp, and in the next few days, he also took the other twelve guards' camps, and then sold this instant noodle and quick-hot bowl respectively, and the sales were very good. Those Cangcao joined the army and immediately decided to purchase it and try it out. The reason why they don't purchase in large quantities is because they use a certain amount of money, and if they want to purchase in large quantities, I'm afraid it will have to be approved by the generals of the Twelve Guards. However, Jingwen knows that I am afraid that the day of the Twelve Guards' mass procurement is not far off.
