Let’s talk about Jiang Huashu again. His original plan in 1980 was to set up an instant noodle production line, and then let Lao Ding take over directly, and hand over the factory to Lao Ding after it was completed.
In 1964, our country's instant noodles were born in Kyoto Food Factory.
It was a deep-fried instant noodle made by workers rolling it out with a rolling pin and then fried in duck fat. However, due to a review in the Kyoto Shimbun at the time that pointed out the strange smell of duck fat, this instant noodle quickly disappeared from the public's view.
In fact, this is already a very standard prototype of instant noodles.
In 1970, Mr. Jiang, the former director of the Yimin Food Factory in Shanghai, led his food research and development team and successfully developed the first domestically produced instant noodles - egg noodles - using a high-pressure steaming and frying process.
This instant noodle received its own name—"Happy" instant noodles. This marked the official launch of instant noodle production in China. "Happy" instant noodles indeed brought joy to people, with 2 million bags sold that year.
When people saw how popular instant noodles were, they flocked to the market, starting mass production. Southerners eat rice, northerners eat noodles, and the north is the king of noodles. But instant noodles were the product of the southern elite.
Among them, the Suhang Flour Mill was the most aggressive. The Shanghai Food Factory was capable, and sales were impressive. He refused to give in! Both were considered among the top three in the industry in southern China, so neither was willing to give in. The director of the Suhang Flour Mill, receiving a mandate from the factory director, immediately recruited a large group of skilled chefs, specializing in frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying, determined to perfect this instant noodle recipe.
After developing their product, they began distributing it to supply and marketing cooperatives and stalls in Suzhou and Hangzhou. They offered free stock to customers who came in first, and settled the bill after sales. Procurement back then was unlike anything seen in later generations; this sales model was unprecedented. By 1984, their annual instant noodle sales had reached an astonishing 90 tons.
At this time, Shanghai's Guanshengyuan's delicious pork noodles became a renowned instant noodle brand. Their packaging, made of paper on the outside and a thin layer of plastic inside to protect against moisture, was unlike the typical plastic bags used for instant noodles and has become a memory for a generation.
Jiang Huashu was moved when he saw that there was a huge gap in real instant noodles in our country in 1981.
The flavors, for example, were pretty simple. And the sales model was that they were only available on trains, at train stations, or around train stations. The newly developed instant noodles had a very complex flavor profile. At the time, Xingxing didn't know about the space, so I didn't tell her about the development.
Just make it simple and remember the taste, then improve the outside to the taste that people of this era like to eat, and you’re done!
He had originally wanted to try this, but it turned out that Lao Ding had gone to Shen City to get an automatic machine tool. This was a great thing. Knowing the development of the situation, Jiang Huashu not only did not stop it but also gave his full support.
After the factory opened, Lao Ding not only came, but also brought a family to eat (research instant noodles). Lao Ding is really shameless now. No, no, no, Lao Ding is really shameless now. He begs for alms every day for the construction of their factory.
In the past, Jiang Huashu just thought that Old Ding was not good at talking, but he didn't expect that after meeting him and opening his eyes, he became like a wheel Ding, and he would do anything for the workers in the factory.
