Flour in the Song Dynasty was also a big problem, the rate of stone grinding was too high, and the bran was almost indistinguishable from flour, resulting in a very black color of the flour.

The effect of white flour is not visible at all. The flour bought from the market must be sifted twice at home.

When you have money in the future, you will have to open a mill directly. I also found someone to renovate the wing room in the courtyard to accommodate many people to work together. I bought a new large board, a big pot and a big stove, and bought dozens of new cage drawers.

The façade room was renovated again, and a new signboard was hung "Wu Dalang Cooking Cake!" "This is definitely going to be a millennium brand!

Lu Renbing also deliberately drew a three-inch simple figure on the signboard, and the dramatic image of Ding Wu Dalang was on it, which looked funny and recognizable.

Lu Renbing also went to the oil paper shop to customize hundreds of knives of oil-wrapped paper printed with the handwriting icon of Wu Dalang's cooking cakes. This kind of paper is used to make snack packaging. Lu Renbing took them back to make the packaging of the cooking cakes.

Lu Renbing entrusted a Chinese person and hired more than a dozen middle-aged women with clean hands and feet to work, and Pan Jinlian was entrusted as the chief steward.

After a month of busy work, I started to get ready.

In terms of sales, Lu Renbing doesn't plan to walk the streets anymore. After investigation, he rented four storefronts near the four city gates where he found that the consumption of cooking cakes was relatively large, and hired four literate mothers-in-law to be responsible for selling cooking cakes there. The bakery signed a sharing agreement with them, and they received a commission of 10% of the sales.

The mothers-in-law who are in charge of steaming the cakes also have a piecework system to improve their work motivation.

Everything was ready, and Lu Renbing's entrepreneurial journey in the Great Song Dynasty began.

The main business of the cooking cake shop is steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and sugar corners. The buns have meat cabbage buns. No longer sell the black and non-slippery cooking cakes of the past. The price of steamed buns is similar to the previous price. But the price of steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and sugar corners are a little higher.

On the opening day, Lu Renbing hired a few beggars to walk the streets and alleys to shout advertisements, saying the address of Wu Dalang's cooking cake shop, opening discounts, free trial of new products, and new product names such as delicious steamed buns and flower rolls.

In the second year of Zhenghe, the third day of the third month of March, it is a festival and an auspicious day of the zodiac. The main store of Wu Dalang Cooking Cake Shop plus four branches are open at the same time.

Before dawn in the morning, Lu Renbing put the steamed steamed buns in the main store into a large basket covered with a new quilt, and sent them to the four branches in a hired ox cart. All four branches have stoves to keep these steamed buns warm.

After a few days of publicity, people in Yanggu County knew that there was a shop for Wu Dalang's cooking cakes, and it was opened. Early in the morning of March 3, many housewives who got up early came to Wu Dalang's cooking cake shop to see the freshness and see what tricks a cooking cake could play.

As a result, when I saw the white shiny, soft as cotton, and fragrant steamed bun flower rolls, after the free and frequent past, I aroused the desire to buy.

The four stores sold out quickly, and there was a steady stream of neighbors who came to buy fresh food. The little beggar who was in charge of delivering the news quickly passed the news to Lu Renbing, who was in the head office. Lu Renbing quickly sent an ox cart that had been prepared long ago to deliver the goods.

Wu Dalang cooking cakes became famous in a fight, and on this day, almost every household in Yanggu County ate them, and the white and fragrant Wu Dalang cooking cakes were eaten.

Lu Renbing was fully prepared for this situation and had enough goods. In one day, I took back all the previous investments. Lu Renbing gave the tired dozen sisters and sisters-in-law who were in charge of steaming steamed buns that day's wages and red envelopes, and they were all happy.

The core secret of steamed bread is yeast, in alkaline water, and in the time of rising, if you want to make steamed bread white, you also need to add some sulfur fumigation. Anyway, the process is still more complicated.

The hawkers outside who run the gang will definitely not be able to make it all. But Lu Renbing was afraid that they would find trouble, so he took the initiative to contact them to come to the head office to do wholesale. If it is a long way, Lu Renbing can also have people deliver it to the door. These men, who were still a little worried, were suddenly overjoyed, and even Daowu Dalang was benevolent.

Lu Renbing's price for them is relatively low, and he has left enough profits, which is more cost-effective than making their own cooking cakes, and they don't have to smoke all day long. They were soon bought by Lu Renbing and became Lu Renbing's mobile vending stall. The cooking cake market in Yanggu County was unified by Lu Renbing in this way.

At the same time as retail, Lu Renbing also does wholesale and large-scale customization. All restaurants and food stalls, if there is a need, no matter how many or too many Lu Renbing will take orders, supply them with small profits, deliver them to their doors, and some large households have special needs, such as noodles and peaches, other noodle products, and the like. Lu Renbing also followed.

Whoever has a happy event is a big customer, of course, he can't refuse.

Wu Dalang's cooking cakes, the boss's reputation for benevolence and righteousness quickly spread throughout Yanggu County. In one month, Lu Renbing's bakery had hired 50 women, expanded to eight branches, and hired more than 20 shopkeepers. Eight ox carts are employed for full-time delivery.

Wuda also took in sixteen wandering beggars in Yanggu County, the eldest fifteen, who was only six or seven years old, and two little girls. These beggars were the same group of children who helped Lu Renbing to carry out propaganda and deliver news.

The little girl, Lu Renbing, signed an employment contract with them and asked them to take care of Pan Jinlian and Wu Ying'er.

Fourteen boys were told to follow them and to read and write, and to practice their guns. Some of these children remember their last names, and some don't. If he remembered his name, Lu Renbing asked them to use their original names, and the three boys who didn't remember asked them to follow their surnames Wu.

The eldest child, surnamed Lin He, is a native of Yanggu, his parents died, and his aunt's family was poor and could not afford to raise him, so he ran to the city to beg for a living. He didn't have any ability, and he didn't want to be a thief, so he gathered a few begging homeless children and made a begging head.

Lu Renbing felt that this child was still a talent that could be created, so he let him continue to be the head of these children, and wanted to recognize him as a righteous son.

Who knew that Lin He felt that if he became Lu Renbing's righteous son, he would be sorry for the other brothers and sisters who followed him, and hoped that Lu Renbing would make them his righteous son and daughter, and they would definitely regard Wuda Pan as their biological parents.

Lin He knelt down in front of Lu Renbing, and his kowtow was broken.

The other children didn't know what was going on with Fa Sheng, and thought that Lu Renbing was going to drive them away. They had only lived a full life for a few days, and none of them wanted to go out and wander again. They all cried and wept and kowtowed to Lu Renbing.

Lu Renbing patted his head, feeling that recognizing one is also admitting, and recognizing two is also admitting. Let's find a playmate for Wu Ying'er. And he recognized them all. Even the two children who signed the contract were no exception.

recognized the righteous son and daughter, except for Lin He, the rest of the people according to their age, respectively according to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, family and everything is prosperous, and they were given names, and those who have surnames are only named, and those who do not have surnames are surnamed Wu.

After burning incense, worshipping God, and drinking their tea with Pan Jinlian, Lu Renbing and Pan Jinlian had sixteen more children.

With these more children in the family, this small courtyard will not be enough to live in.

Fortunately, after monopolizing the cooking cake industry in Yanggu County, Lu Renbing also made a lot of money, so he spent 400 yuan to buy a house outside the south gate of this store. There are two houses in front and back, a total of twenty houses. Let them live there. and spent money to buy Lu Renbing, where they live now.
