Chapter 112: Sunny Noodles
Song Qingtian asked Qin Xiaofei: "I just heard Zhao Gengju say that your house has been sold, where do you live?" ”
Qin Xiaofei said: "We plan to build a simple house in the forest behind the village to live in first, my father has already built it at home, and my mother will move in when her body recovers." ”
"How much does Aunt Feng Ying's body need to recover?"
"More than 1,000 points."
In the previous life, 1,000 yuan was nothing, but in this era, it is undoubtedly astronomical.
Song Qingtian was a little surprised when he heard this number, this number was for Qin Xiaofei's family, and they couldn't afford to sell the pot and sell the house.
"So you've dropped out of school and plan to go to work?"
"Hmm."
"Is there a way, have you figured out where to go?"
"When my mother goes back, I go out, my father has already found Zhao Sanmeng, or go to the coal kiln, after all, there will be more money."
It's Zhao Sanmeng again, it's the black coal kiln again, Song Qingtian can't get rid of this nightmare place in his life.
First the third uncle, Qin Xiaofei, all persuaded him, and then Song Chunsheng, this will be Qin Xiaofei again.
They are all living people in front of them, and the thought that they will soon die in the dark coal kiln makes their hearts infinitely sad.
You can persuade one or two, but can you persuade everyone?
If you can persuade Qin Xiaofei for the first time, can you persuade it a second time?
Song Qingtian didn't know, she didn't have any confidence in her heart, but she had to give it a try.
Qin Xiaofei seemed to see the change in her expression, the first time Song Qingtian persuaded him, although he didn't know what Song Qingtian's reason was, Qin Xiaofei was grateful, and he mistakenly thought that Song Qingtian cared about him.
But my mother didn't get sick that time, and the family was okay.
This time is different, the family is in debt, if Song Qingtian opens his mouth to persuade again, Qin Xiaofei has already made up his mind.
"Qin Xiaofei, can you not go to the black coal kiln to work?"
"Sunny day, thank you, I must go this time."
Although they all knew that this was the result, they still said it.
The firmness in Qin Xiaofei's eyes was unquestionable.
At home in the afternoon, Song Qingtian asked how the sales of Song Xifeng liquor were.
Song Xifeng said that the progress was too slow, so he sold more than ten catties, basically when he went to sell his wine, the sellers thought it tasted good, but they all thought the price was too expensive.
Song Qingtian said: "Third uncle, as long as you promote more, someone will always buy it." ”
Song Xifeng asked: "Is the supply and marketing cooperative's side still going to introduce?" ”
"There is no need to go for the time being, and then we will see the cooperation policy of the supply and marketing cooperatives and the Ministry of Commerce."
The liquor and loach business was a little sluggish for the time being, and with the various things that happened during the day, she felt that her mind was in a mess.
Moved the stool and sat in the courtyard, Song Qingtian thought seriously.
In the evening, Yang Xiulian and Jiang Xiaoyan returned home, but they brought good news, saying that the business had been good in the past two days, and the two of them were too busy, which made Song Qingtian have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
After dinner, Song Qingtian first calculated the recent accounts.
The liquor is almost equal to not making money, and he owes Lu Xin more than 60 yuan for 60 catties of liquor.
The loach eel business began to make money, and a total of more than 100 yuan was made in these few times.
The business of jelly made the most money, with more than 300.
Excluding everyone's wages and expenses, all the businesses earned 300 yuan.
Song Qingtian borrowed 500 from Lu Xin, and owed 60 to the liquor, adding up to 560.
Now that he has only earned 300 yuan, Song Qingtian feels that he must readjust his thinking.
Jiang Xiaoyan said: "On a sunny day, loaches and liquor are not profitable, so let's do the cold powder business." ”
Song Qingtian said: "Loaches are long-term and stable, and they have reached the period of making money, so they must be persistent." This is also my promise to Brother Lu, even if you are tired and don't make money, you have to do it. I have thought about the problem of liquor, and it will definitely work in the future, but the temporary sales are not good, this is a long-term business, and I can't give up. ”
Song Xifeng put forward his own ideas and said: "The business of liquor and loach is not profitable for the time being, but it is manpower and cold powder makes money, but we can't give up the business of liquor and loach, this conflict is too big." ”
Song Qingtian thought for a while and said: "We can continue to compress the time for collecting loaches, Brother Lu comes to ship it every Wednesday, and in the future, it will only be collected on Sunday and Tuesday, so that it can save a day's time." ”
Jiang Xiaoyan didn't understand, "Why don't you collect it on Monday and Tuesday for two days in a row?" ”
"On Sunday, when students are on holiday, many children sell loaches to earn pocket money, and on Tuesday next to Wednesday, the loaches are fresher and can be stored for a longer time."
Jiang Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue, "So much knowledge." ”
Song Qingtian said: "We were all busy over there before, and we all went there, I felt that the distribution of manpower was unreasonable, so let's reallocate it." Every morning, the third uncle pulls down the jelly stall above the venue, and doesn't care about anything else. The cold powder stall is watched by my mother and Sister Xiaoyan. The third uncle continued to sell the liquor, first let the people in Sanchuan Town know that there was this liquor, and the business came slowly, and then the third uncle helped pull the cold powder stall back in the evening. ”
Yang Xiulian frowned when she heard the words and said, "On a sunny day, your third uncle still has to help you collect loaches, sell wine, and pull a cold powder stall again in the morning and evening, this is not good, can your third uncle stand it?" ”
Song Xifeng said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I grew up working since I was a child, so I can't stand it." ”
Song Qingtian also smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, how could I not know that I feel sorry for the third uncle, he pulls a trip to the cold powder stall every day, and his salary is 5 cents more every day." He goes to sell liquor, you can go half-day, or morning, or afternoon, so that you can rest for half a day, and when the loaches are collected, the liquor does not need to be promoted, the third uncle is hard, but you can combine work and rest with a lot of wages, how can I lose my third uncle. ”
Yang Xiulian said: "It's okay, you have to go back to school and study a sunny day." ”
Hearing this question, Song Qingtian's heart "chuckled", and she didn't know how to tell her mother about her expulsion.
Song Xifeng said: "Qingtian, like me, has already taken a long vacation, and I don't think about going to school for the time being, and I'll talk about it after a while." ”
Yang Xiulian actually didn't want her daughter to do business at home every day, delaying her studies, and hearing Song Xifeng say that she had taken a long vacation, there was no other way.
"On a sunny day, you have to review your homework when you have time."
Yang Xiulian felt that it was wrong after instructing, her daughter arranged things for everyone, and she didn't go to school, so what did she want to do? Do you also help collect loaches and sell jelly at the same time?
In fact, Song Qingtian had already thought about what to do in the afternoon.
Things that are easy to be imitated are too unstable to do, such as selling cold powder, season, weather, temperature and many other factors are affected, and there are many people who follow the trend when business is good.
Only by doing something that no one can imitate, or even something new, so that only one business is done, then the stability and sustainability will be strengthened.
At present, his own environment is in the countryside, and Song Qingtian has given priority to projects with agricultural and sideline products and grain deep processing.
What was the most influential food of this era in a previous life?
Song Qingtian read the information of his past life that was not much stored in his mind.
There are two things that come into Song Qingtian's range of choices.
One is a small biscuit, she remembers that a small biscuit was sold in the town in her previous life, it seems to be called a bear biscuit, 2 cents a bag, the biscuit is made into the shape of a bear, it is beautiful and delicious, and it has been popular in the entire snack circle.
Biscuit making requires ovens and abrasive molding machines, which are not available at the moment.
The second is instant noodles, as a new type of food, it is said that the earliest production of instant noodles was invented by a cook in the prefect's family surnamed Yi in Yangzhou. Unfortunately, this invention was not patented, and the mass production of instant noodles was preempted by foreigners, and it became popular in Japan first.
In 1982, Shanghai Yimin Food No. 4 Factory, which was later known as Shanghai Guanshengyuan and Beijing Instant Noodles, introduced instant noodle production lines from abroad, and instant noodles opened up the market in Huaxia and became the giant of the instant noodle industry in one fell swoop.
Wheat is produced in Sanchuan Town, flour is the main material for making instant noodles, and the processing of instant noodles does not require machinery and equipment, and it can be completed by hand.
It is still the beginning of 1982, and there is no advanced equipment introduced in China, and the annual output of instant noodles is small, which cannot meet the needs of the market in large cities in China, let alone county seats, towns, and many people have never heard of it.
Instant noodle sales are not restricted by any climate, geography and other conditions, and in the coming decades, it will be a fast food that has won the hearts of the people.
This is the time to do this, just in time to catch the trend.
There is a large flow of people in front of the cold noodle stall, and by the way, selling instant noodles next to it kills two birds with one stone and does not affect each other.
Fortunately, Song Qing saw the process of making instant noodles on the Internet by a chef surnamed Yi in her previous life, and she did what she said.
Song Qingtian asked her mother, third uncle and Jiang Xiaoyan to wait in the house, and went to the stove room alone.
First, put oil and eggs in the flour, add water to mix into a dough, knead it finely, roll it into thin slices, then cut it into shreds, boil it in water, and then put it in oil and fry it to dry.
The first time I did it, the technique was not skilled, the thickness of the dough was uneven, the shredding technique was a little worse, and the oil temperature was not too well controlled, but it seemed to be a little instant noodles.
Yang Xiulian and Jiang Xiaoyan saw Song Qingtian tossing in the stove room in the middle of the night, bringing out a bowl of yellow, orange and orange fried noodles, thinking that this girl could really make up the noodles and fry them.
Yang Xiulian and Jiang Xiaoyan tasted it, well, it was delicious, the entrance was crispy, and it was burnt and fragrant when chewed.
Jiang Xiaoyan asked: "Sunny day, it's so delicious, what kind of way to eat this, it's the first time I've seen it." ”
Song Qingtian remembered that in his previous life, instant noodles were also called crispy noodles at the beginning, the noodles were crumbled, sprinkled with seasonings, and then grabbed and put in his mouth, the taste was really wonderful.
"You wait a minute."
Thinking of this, Song Qingtian said a word, went to the stove room with a bowl, crushed the fried noodles, evenly sprinkled with fine salt and a small amount of peppercorn noodles, and let Jiang Xiaoyan taste it again.
Jiang Xiaoyan pinched it and stuffed it into her mouth, praising while chewing, "It's better and more fragrant than just now, can you tell me what the name of this fried noodle is now?" ”
"Crisp noodles!" Song Qingtian smiled proudly, "Qingtian is simply noodles." ”
Jiang Xiaoyan said to Yang Xiulian: "Auntie, this is what you teach Qingtian to make, it's so delicious, teach me in the future." ”
"I've never done it and I'm not going to do it."
Yang Xiulian shook her head, still wondering in her heart, where did this girl learn this way of eating on a sunny day.
Song Qingtian said: "We set up a stall next to the cold noodle business to sell crispy noodles, sunny day crispy noodles, with lotus jelly, it will not affect the cold noodles business, and make more money, I will be responsible for selling crispy noodles first"
Jiang Xiaoyan applauded, and Yang Xiulian also nodded.
This crispy noodle is so delicious, it must be easy to sell, and Song Xifeng also agrees with Song Qingtian very much.
Taking advantage of the night, the three of them began to make crispy noodles together, making 10 catties of noodles, and then preparing the seasoning.
Song Xifeng made paper bags with straw pulp paste on the side, which was used to make tomorrow's crispy noodles packaging, but did not make one, and wrote the words "crisp noodles on sunny days" on the paper bags according to Song Qingtian's requirements.
Song Qingtian calculated the cost, and the flour was 6 cents a catty, 1 yuan and 3 cents for cooking oil, and 5 cents for eggs.
To make a pound of crispy noodles, you need to put 2 eggs in it, and you need 2 taels of cooking oil to fry a pound of crispy noodles.
Calculated down, the cost of a pound of crispy noodles is 9 cents and 6 cents, plus seasonings and manual calculations, the top 1 yuan and 2 cents.
Song Qingtian set the price at 2 yuan and 5 cents a catty, after all, it is a new type of food, people just want to be fresh, and the price must be set a little higher.
The good thing is that the noodles are sold by two, 1 tael 2 cents 5, which is not too expensive, and a bowl of spicy soup costs 3 cents.
Later, I thought about it, 2 Mao 5 and 205 are somewhat similar, so I simply priced 2 Mao 6.
