After the noodles went on the market, but for more than a month, Cuihua asked Boss Li to pay close attention to the market feedback, and Boss Li came to her on this day.

"Madam, there have been people on the market who have made somen recently, most of them are thicker than ours, and they are not as well-proportioned as ours."

"There is one that is the most special, it should be mixed with other grains, the color is darker, the taste is worse, and the price is 50 wen a catty."

"They are all sold in bulk, without packaging, I asked the family to weigh a pound back, and I will compare it for you."

"These people are also selling somen noodles into the noodle restaurant, under the slogan of Dali Village somen noodles, I see that there are quite a lot of people eating in the noodle restaurant."

Cuihua is very interested, and she imitates it very quickly! "Show me, these people are all talents, and they know how to mix with miscellaneous grains, which is more innovative than the products of our workshop."

Among the piles of dried noodles, this somewhat dark dried noodles are the most conspicuous, Cuihua hurriedly asked the kitchen to cook and eat, and asked the family to evaluate and analyze.

She also picked a chopstick to import, why does this taste so much like modern buckwheat? Cuihua was muttering in her heart, but she would be in Sichuan, and she seemed to grow this in the snow area, right?

"This is black wheat, and many people on the grassland eat this!" After tasting it, Mr. Fan concluded: "Pulling the throat, coarse and rattling, not as smooth as gray noodles, but it is definitely no problem to have a full stomach." ”

It's no problem, if this thing is the ancestor of buckwheat, future generations will use it for health.

However, this mixed noodles look much thicker, not as fine as gray noodles that can be made into hollow noodles, most people are not so particular, and the market space is still very large.

Cuihua didn't want to monopolize the market, this was just to do deep processing of Zhuangzi's wheat, imitating the copying homework, but it was a matter of time.

"There are no big merchants doing this yet, it should be a woman in the workshop, madam, do you want to check it out?" Steward Li has already touched some people before, and he probably knows it in his heart.

"We must check it, we can't let others think that we are easy to bully, but this job doesn't have too much technical content, sooner or later, Yuan Fu didn't think about occupying all this market, let's do the high-end market!"

Steward Li is still a little confused about this new word: "High-end market? ”

"Well, it's that we sell to rich people, and you ask everyone to make the packaging better, or think about how to make the noodles more beautiful, such as making them colorful, or adding some eggs and noodles or something, and talk to him."

Steward He was called by Cuihua and whispered, and then found Widow Zhu and handed over the task of noodle innovation to her, people with chef work experience are more good at this.

Two days later, the Yuanfu Noodle Shop fired the four daughters-in-law, and the reason was also told to everyone: these few exposed the noodle-making skills of the master's family.

The objects of these four daughters-in-law are all their own mother-in-law's family, their mother-in-law's family or something, and the family thinks about it, this matter is promising.

Then the market was tossed out of different lengths and fineness of the somen noodles, they took the bulk route, the popularity of the somen has not yet subsided, the supply exceeds the demand.

This daughter-in-law who makes black and wheat mixed noodles also sells this dried noodles to a noodle restaurant in the county seat, and her ability is not small.

However, the four daughters-in-law were ridiculed by the crowd in the three villages, and everyone was upset about Yuan's house:

"This conscience is greatly broken, you say, what kind of life did the daughter-in-law of the old Gou family live in her mother-in-law's house before? Now I can't afford to earn nearly a tael of silver a month! ”

"Why don't you know, this old Gou family lets her be a cow and horse all day long, and when she doesn't stop, isn't it better than her to work at home in the noodle shop?"

"You said that she is so careless at home, it can be seen that this betrayal is not something she can call the shots! A family of bad water stuff! ”

"Isn't it, what do you think these people think? lives in a brick house bought from the Yuan family's brick kiln, tenants the Yuan family's land, earns the Yuan family's wages, and dares to smash the Yuan family's bowl! ”

"Steward Li said, this betrayal, in the future, their family, as well as their mother-in-law's family, will not be used, and the land will not be rented to them."

"It's very interesting not to send it to the government, I'll tell you quietly, Yuan Qian is the new emperor's henchman!"

A few people put their ears together and asked in a low voice, "Huh? Tell me, why is he the new emperor's henchman? ”

"I know this cement road, I heard that it was this Yuan Qianzong tossed out, do you want our official road to be built like this, saying that in the place south of the Great Yellow River, the official road has been fully repaired, how much money has this earned the new emperor?"

Everyone exclaimed: "This, this is too capable, my mother, that Yuan Mansion is really kind!" ”

Everyone talked about it, most of the villagers were still very righteous, condemning these betrayers, and the good reputation of the Yuan family had another layer.

The few people who were expelled, because the noodles were easy to sell, also quickly saved some money, moved to the town or county seat to live, really listened to enough gossip every day, and arrogantly thought, where can you not settle down to do business if you have money?

When the two of them heard about this, they were very angry, and they shouted that they were going to beat other people's children to avenge their mothers.

"Mother, why don't you send them to the government, revealing the secret recipe of the master's family is to punish the crime!" The big head is puzzled, why is this matter taken lightly.

"They should be allowed to lose money and use our recipe to earn their own money!" The two heads also felt unreasonable.

"How much wheat does our village only produce in a year, and we can probably sell it out in two or three months!" Cuihua explained to the baby.

"When it's sold out, let's buy some wheat from the farmer's house and come back to make noodles and sell them?"

"Then won't we become merchants, how will you take the imperial examination in the future? The food grown at home is processed by yourself, and it is sold in your father-in-law's shop, and our family is still a family of cultivation and study! ”

"Is this still about our imperial examination? But why didn't the imperial court give the merchants the imperial examination? ”

"You go to Mr. Fan for this, and Mr. will explain it to you."

"What's the most important thing, our noodles are not a complicated technique, smart people can learn it at a glance!"

"What others learn is different from what our own people leak!" The boss is very good at getting to the point.

"Well, what the boss said is very right, but we didn't sign a confidentiality contract with these people, this is also our mistake, isn't it?"

The two didn't understand Cuihua's explanation, and went to Mr. Fan to entangle, and agreed that the mother was a woman after all, and she was too kind.

After Mr. Fan's explanation of the imperial examination system, the two did not make a fuss, but they still sent a letter to their friends to complain, because they didn't want to suffer.

The queen is really boring these days, listening to the prince talk about this, and also announced Cuihua into the palace.

"Excuse me, come here, why don't you bring the twins into the palace to show the palace?" Queen Gao asked people to help Cuihua up, looking like she was going to chat.

"Back to Niangniang, when the courtiers went out today, these two boys slept soundly, and they were afraid that they would sleep if they were taken out."

"The child just sees the wind growing, Princess Jingyao went to your house to drink full moon wine last time, saying that the two younger brothers are well-behaved, and the palace is itchy when she hears it, so she wants to see these two little guys."

"Hehe, Niangniang, the mother doesn't think the son is ugly, but the courtier's heart is biased, no matter how you look at it, you think they are well-behaved, haha..."

"You really haven't grown at all, and you're telling the truth all day...."The two talked about the child for a long time before the queen asked about the noodles.

"I've heard about your noodles, what do you think?" Empress Gao looked at Cuihua and asked seriously.

"Niangniang, this noodles are not a complicated craft, it is a matter of time before they are learned, and the courtiers don't want to make a fortune from this, they just want to process the wheat of the Zhuangzi you rewarded and then sell it, and the most important thing is to find some money for the daughters-in-law in the village."

"Besides, as for the oyster sauce workshop you opened, don't you still have people from a big family to share the soup, and you can't make all the money of the world."

"You are relieved, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be merchants in Beijing who will open a workshop larger than you."

"Then or, Niangniang, the courtiers will give you this method, you see which businesses are suitable, let's give more people, and when there are more people who make noodles here, everyone will naturally stop!"

"You said that you still want to find you and support you, you are good, and you have sent Fang Zi to the door, what do you say?"

"Those merchants will have to learn sooner or later, give them a fortune, it is better to give it to you, you can let the designated merchants recruit more daughters-in-law to do the work, hey, Niangniang, you don't know, how difficult the daughter-in-law in the village is..."
