Chapter 1493 Several Managers of the Workshop
A short while later, Da Niu came in with several managers.
Luo Chun was in charge of the sunflower seed workshop, Ruan Dali was in charge of the oil pressing workshop, and Wang Kangfu was in charge of the instant noodle workshop.
And, there's Da Zhuang running around in the prefectural city.
Dazhuang was Daqiang's older brother, the one who grew ten acres of sunflowers. He had been looking for work in the prefectural city and was quite familiar with it. Shuyu asked him about his thoughts and later arranged for him to sell instant noodles in the prefectural city.
When she returned from Changjin Mansion last time, she saw that several stores were selling instant noodles, thanks to Dazhuang.
Since he happened to be in the workshop today, Da Niu brought him along as well.
There aren't many people, but after this period of training, they're all in good spirits.
They had probably already heard from Da Niu that the topic of discussion was opening a shop in the prefectural city, so as soon as they came in, they sat down, drank some water, and got straight to the point.
"I think the idea of a rhyme is good, but how to make it up is a problem."
"Doesn't Dazhuang spend most of his time in the prefectural city? Are there any popular rhymes there?"
"Dazhuang, you've seen a lot and know the city well. Why don't you try making one up?"
Da Zhuang felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of the group, even though he was usually quite thick-skinned.
He scratched his head. "How would I know how to do this?"
Da Niu laughed and said, "It's okay, give it a try, and if it doesn't work, you can try another one."
"Then... I'll really give it a try?"
"Come."
Dazhuang coughed lightly, thought for a moment, and then began to speak, "Sunflower seeds are good, sunflower seeds are wonderful, our sunflower seeds are the best, fragrant, delicious, and cheap. Everyone, take a look..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Luo Chun quickly called out to him, "This isn't a rhyme, this is hawking your wares!"
Dazhuang, "..." Upon careful reflection, it seems that's the case.
The main reason is that when he worked in the prefectural city, he also worked as a street vendor. Although the business wasn't great, he had developed a habit of hawking his wares.
He sighed, "Then you tell me."
Ruan Dali spoke up, "I think that you need a certain amount of knowledge to create this kind of rhyme, just like writing an essay."
So everyone looked up at Wang Kangfu. The managers present, although they were all trying hard to read and write, could only understand contracts and account books and calculate numbers. Writing articles required systematic teaching, which they had no idea how to do.
Except for... Wang Kangfu.
Wang Kangfu is in his forties and is the oldest person present.
He used to be a chef, exceptionally skilled at kneading dough and making pastries, and also very innovative. However, the restaurant where he worked recently changed its business model, which reduced the need for pastry chefs like him who specialized in pastries, and the employer wanted to lower the wages.
Wang Kangfu was unhappy and stormed off in a huff.
Later, I saw instant noodles and really liked them. I wanted to know how they were made.
He kept asking around until he was discovered. Da Niu suspected he wanted to steal the recipe, but after chatting with him, they found out he was a pastry chef. After discussing it with Shu Yu, they hired him, paying him the same wages he had when he was a chef in the restaurant's kitchen.
Wang Kangfu was very willing, and Shu Yu had said that he would not restrict him from studying other types of noodles, but they should be mass-produced and sold like instant noodles.
Shu Yu knew that modern times not only have instant noodles, but also rice noodles and other similar foods can be soaked and eaten.
