Chapter 134 Private Food Factory

Huayun County is adjacent to Siyun County and is larger than Siyun County.

Their county not only has factories, but also local Xiuyan jade mines.

It can be said that there are treasures everywhere in the mountains. Although it is a county-level city, it is one of the richest counties in the province.

Almost every family has two working parents, and some even own jade mines. They work during the day and sell some of the jade they mine at night.

Looking down the street, I saw many shops with signs hanging up, offering everything from food to drinks.

There are also some quite eye-catching shops.

It is the best location on the county center street, but the rent is very cheap.

As soon as I saw that the door was being renovated.

The locals insisted that the person renting the house must be from out of town. Upon inquiry, it turned out to be true.

This place used to be very expensive and had changed owners several times. No one knew what had happened to this house, but no matter what it did, it would go bankrupt within half a year.

After a long time, this house became smelly.

The homeowner was anxious, fearing that the house would become a rotten thing, so he listed it for rent or sale at a low price, and someone actually bought it outright.

When the people in the county saw it, they hurried to ask what it was made of.

What's called Malatang? I've never heard of it. It sounds weird and I don't have any desire to eat it.

Malatang was simply tidied up, with ten tables placed in the small room and two outside.

We even set off firecrackers on the opening day.

Some people were actually attracted by the sound of firecrackers.

There were more than 30 food bowls filled with various vegetables, and small baskets. What were these? I had never seen them before.

If you look closely, you can see a big pot with boiling water inside.

"How do I buy it?" the customer asked.

"Just take what you want to eat." The shop owner was very welcoming and strongly recommended bean sprouts and dried tofu, one of which has a crispy texture and the other has a soft texture.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of self-selection mode. I picked up a full small basket and felt quite accomplished.

Then I saw the man pour it directly into the pot.

More than a dozen vegetables immediately scattered, bobbing in the boiling water. They were blanched for only a few seconds, then scooped up with a giant ladle and poured into a bowl that was already half full. Then he was asked what kind of noodles he wanted.

There are three types of noodles: cornmeal, buckwheat cold noodles, and wide noodles.

This customer was eating here for the first time and had no idea what to choose.

Seeing that he was too hesitant, the shop owner took the initiative to suggest: "Why don't you try all three?"

"Oh, sure."

There are three kinds of noodles, and the bowl is full.

Finally, add the seasoning. The seasoning used by the store is the commercial version produced by Shen Qingyue's factory, which is already mixed into a thick and spicy sauce.

You can only adjust it to slightly spicy, spicy, extra spicy, sweet and sour according to the customer's taste.

He was one of the earliest people to make dry spicy hot pot in Siyun County, so he already had experience. He also had the idea of ​​soaking soybeans and frying them until soft, and then scooping a spoonful of it into the hot pot. The result was crispy, salty and fragrant, which really enhanced the flavor of the spicy hot pot.

Sure enough, as soon as this sauce was poured onto the spicy hot pot, the aroma immediately came out.

The people who were originally pointing and talking outside the store were attracted by the fragrance and followed in in a daze.

When it's done, it's a big bowl full.

The customer patted his pockets, thankfully having brought some extra money with him. He could still hold on. "How much?" He was also a little nervous, worried that he didn't have enough.

With so many dishes and noodles, and such tempting taste, it would probably cost at least two dollars.

The shopkeeper smiled foolishly and said, "Fifty cents a bowl."

"What?" So cheap.

After hearing this number, everyone became even more excited.

The others were waiting there, looking at the first person who came to eat from time to time.

The price is cheap, but I don’t know how it tastes.

I saw the man stir the food, pick up several dishes and put them in his mouth. His eyes lit up as he chewed.

Then the eating became even more rude!

The more you eat, the more surprises you'll find. Each vegetable has a different texture, and the combination is very rich in flavor.

This is much more delicious than noodles, not to mention it’s so cheap.

Malatang became popular overnight. Every time at noon or after get off work, it is so crowded that you can’t get in.

At night, people gradually dispersed and I quickly soaked the dried kelp and wide noodles.

Siyun County is too competitive, with too many Malatang restaurants and no profit. Since coming here, the people of Huayun County love it so much that three or four Malatang restaurants have opened here one after another.

They are all fellow villagers from Siyun County. Before coming, they had agreed to stay away from each other and make their own money to avoid affecting each other's business.

"Today, several people from South City came to eat with us. They said that among so many Malatang restaurants, ours is the best." Her wife was very happy.

The shop owner also smiled and said, "Of course not, we give you enough ingredients!"

The spicy hot pot ingredients at Shen Qingyue's place are the soul. Those people save on the ingredients and add less so they can earn more.

But he poured a full spoonful, and basically the whole street was his repeat customers.

He planned to settle down here and do business in the future, so he started by talking about it, but he still needed to get more materials in: "I'll ask a bus to bring back 100 portions of commercial materials tomorrow."

"So much?" One hundred copies would cost two thousand yuan.

"If it's slow, it will only take three or four days. If it's fast, they will be sold out in one or two days. It's better to have more than less," said the owner.

Since he started his business, his business has expanded greatly. Recently, many repeat customers have suggested that they open a few more stores.

He had already seriously started thinking about the location. By then, let alone 100 portions of commercial materials, even 300 or 500 would be enough.

…

Shen Qingyue's commercial materials are very popular.

Many people have heard that there is a tough guy in the next county who earns 2,000 yuan a day from raw materials.

Many people in the county have eaten the spicy hot pot dumplings that Shen Qingyue personally prepared back then, so they have a high level of understanding of spicy hot pot.

But people in other counties don’t even know what Malatang is, so it becomes popular wherever it is sold.

So more people turned their attention to other counties.

As soon as Shen Qingyue's bagged spicy hot pot with a long shelf life was distributed, it was immediately snapped up.

The factory is now working overtime to produce.

Even the director of the private food factory couldn't sit still anymore and came to Siyun County specifically to look for Shen Qingyue and He Zhengchen.

As for the matter of investing, their equipment and production technology are the best.

But they have never found the right flavor. Now the canned and bagged spicy hot pot with seafood sauce is in short supply, which made them rediscover the two young people.

Now we produce 50,000 bags a day but it is still not enough to sell. There are only two options before us: either we produce in three shifts and double the quantity, or we increase the production line.

The factory director came here just for this second matter!

The last time I saw Shen Qingyue and the others, he was the decision maker, and the final success or failure depended on his decision.

But within less than a week, their status had undergone a 180-degree turn.

Last time, before He Zhengchen left, he asked them to help with the agency promotion.

In order to get a preferential price, several deputy directors sent the products to their former colleagues and friends. As a result, the other parties decided to buy the products after eating them.

But it was not produced yet.

My former colleagues thought this was a new product they had developed with a new look, and they sent congratulatory messages one after another.

The factory director was in great pain.

Now everyone is congratulating them but there is no way to clarify. Just like this misunderstanding, it actually led to an idea.

Changli took over Shen Qingyue's production line, and there are still two production lines left. It would be better for him to take these two production lines as shares, and work together to make it bigger and stronger.

By then, Shen Qingyue will have products and they will have connections, and they can push them further together.
