“This smell!”
"Great~~"
Director Yang was instantly conquered after just one bite of the instant noodles. The taste was amazing, the texture was great, and the convenience was even better.
He didn't expect that noodles that only needed to be soaked in hot water for three minutes could be so delicious.
After saying that, Director Yang stopped talking and started slurping the noodles. In a short while, he had finished all the instant noodles in the lunch box, without even any soup left.
It must be said that Director Yang thought the soup was extremely delicious and it would be a waste not to drink it.
"Hurry~ Really good, leaving me wanting more!"
Chen Jun laughed when he heard it. Director Yang must be not satisfied with the meal and wants another one!
"Chen Jun, the product is good, but the price..."
Director Yang felt that although the noodles were not expensive, they were so delicious that the price should not be cheap.
But if it is not cheap, the workers may not be willing to spend money to buy it.
"The price is not expensive. A pancake with seasoning only costs one dollar, and the canteen will boil hot water in advance." The price is calculated. Although the profit is low, it is provided to overtime workers after all, so it doesn't matter even if there is no profit.
"I plan to open a separate window to sell instant noodles during lunch to see if they accept it. If the response is good, I will officially start selling it tomorrow afternoon."
"Of course I can accept it!" Director Yang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "The price is so cheap, the canteen won't lose money, right? I think adding a few cents is no problem."
It is no exaggeration to say that this instant noodle is much more delicious than ordinary noodles. It can be sold even if it is priced at 1.3 or 1.4 cents, not to mention that the cafeteria also provides free hot water.
Because of the sale of bread, the canteen has developed into an independent revenue department of the factory. A large part of the money earned from selling bread is handed over to the factory, and another small part is used as a bonus for the canteen. Director Yang is worried that if instant noodles are sold so cheaply, the canteen will lose money, which will affect the income of the entire kitchen staff.
"Not a loss, ten cents is just right."
Chen Jun waved his hand. "Our original intention in making instant noodles was to provide workers with a quick and delicious meal, not to make money. If the response is good, we can also find a food factory to cooperate with and make individually packaged instant noodles, which can be priced higher."
Um?
Can it be packaged individually and sold?
Director Yang immediately became interested. He knew the taste of instant noodles and thought that most people would like this delicacy, so it didn't seem difficult to sell it.
In this way, the steel mill has another revenue-generating project.
"Okay, okay, you have to think long-term. If you can really make money, the factory will give you a 10% share of the profits." After saying this, Director Yang smiled and said, "Don't refuse. After all, you invented instant noodles. Making money is a great thing for our factory."
"Hahaha, I won't refuse!" Chen Jun also grinned. One percent profit may not sound like much, but Chen Jun knows better than anyone how popular instant noodles are.
If I remember correctly, the world's first instant noodles were released in a small notebook in 1958. I brought it forward by several years, and the market was very large.
After chatting for a while, Director Yang turned the topic to instant noodles.
"You just said that instant noodles can be cooked and eaten. Will the taste change?"
Chen Jun shook his head. "It will change. It will taste better. The noodles will be chewier. Besides boiling and soaking them, you can eat them directly. They'll be crunchy, but a little bit choking."
The reason why it is called instant noodles is that the noodles are cooked and can be eaten in any way.
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Song beside him couldn't wait to pick up a piece of bread and took a bite.
Director Yang had just finished the bowl of instant noodles, leaving not even any soup. Director Song had been craving for it for a long time, so when he heard that he could eat it directly, he started to eat it right away.
"Bang bang~"
"Bang bang~"
Director Song took a few bites and immediately felt his mouth was filled with fragrance.
"Not bad, not bad. It tastes like wheat, but it's a bit dry and easy to choke on." Director Song gave a thumbs up, thinking that even if instant noodles are not eaten as a main meal, they can be used as a snack.
"Chen Jun, are there enough instant noodles in the cafeteria? Give me ten. No, I want to buy twenty to take home and let my wife try them."
One cent each, twenty pieces only cost two dollars, Director Song can get them easily.
"We just started making it, so the quantity isn't too large yet. If you want to take some home for your sister-in-law to try, I'll give you ten. The rest will be tested in the cafeteria later to see if everyone can accept them." Chen Jun replied.
"Of course I can accept it, unless we eat meat every meal at home." Director Song muttered and continued to crunch his noodles.
After returning to the kitchen, Chen Jun arranged for Sha Zhu to open a new window and hang a sign on it.
Red Star brand instant noodles, one cent per serving!
The people in the kitchen were a little confused when they saw the price. Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Director Chen, aren't we setting it too cheap?"
"That's right, this instant noodles is so delicious, I think 20 cents is a good price."
"Yes, yes. We also provide hot water. Selling such delicious noodles for only ten cents is a huge loss."
Obviously, the people in the cafeteria have tasted the instant noodles and they also think the price is a bit low.
But Chen Jun did not listen to their advice. Instant noodles were prepared for the workers who worked overtime in the factory in the afternoon, so there was no point in setting a high price.
Soon the bell for the end of get off work rang, and a large group of people rushed into the cafeteria to eat.
As usual, the first thing they did when they ran into the cafeteria was to rush to the window to line up.
"Hey, why is there an extra window today?"
"Is there something new in the cafeteria? I saw a pile of noodles, I'm going to check it out."
"What's so delicious about noodles? The big pot dishes in our factory are the best."
"It's not noodles, it's called instant noodles, ten cents a portion."
"Well, I have to give it a try."
Seeing someone coming to buy instant noodles, Sha Zhu, who was responsible for making instant noodles for the employees, started to get busy.
He put the noodles into the employees' lunch boxes, added seasoning and stirred them, then poured a spoonful of boiling water into the lunch boxes.
Pour ~
The moment the hot water dissolved the seasoning, a fragrant aroma came out.
Even in a cafeteria filled with fragrant aromas, the smell of instant noodles can easily attract the attention of people around you.
"Wow, what is that? It smells so good!"
"It doesn't smell like cooking. Could it be that instant noodles that cost ten cents?"
"One cent a portion? How can it be so cheap? Why does it smell like meat?"
"I don't know. Let's go and have a look."
Soon, many workers followed the smell to the window and began to line up to get instant noodles.
Xu Damao was also attracted by the aroma. He moved closer to the window and sniffed it, then shouted to Sha Zhu, "Hey, is this a new product in the cafeteria? Make me a bowl to try."
