Chapter 915 Instant Noodles



The former Red Cliff boss Xia Qiulong had two right-hand men under him. The first left-hand man retired from the underworld due to old age and lived a quiet life.

Later, he had new right-hand men who were even more famous than the previous two, namely Liu He and Lu Wu.

Although their legends have not appeared in the world in the past three years, the aging myths still linger in our ears.

Now this cousin of mine, whom I dislike, is actually on good terms with these two guys. What went wrong?

"Brother Wan, if you want to beat someone up, who do you want to beat? There are still people in Hongya who are against us brothers."

Lu Wu pointed at Zheng Song and said, "Brother Wan's cousin, beat him up!"

"Alright, leave it to me. You said you wanted to beat me into a pig's head or... who? Brother Wan's cousin? Fifth brother! Are you kidding me?"

"No kidding! This is Brother Xiao Wan's order. I'm embarrassed to take it, so I'm giving it to you."

"If you're embarrassed to do it, then I'll be embarrassed to do it."

At this time, Xia Qiulong walked out of the alley while pulling up his pants. He was shocked to see a group of people gathered in front of Lu Wu's stall, and came over in two or three steps.

"What's going on? What's going on? No fighting."

"Brother! No fight!"

"Oh, it's Xiao Wan who's back. I was wondering why it was so lively. Why did you think of coming to see me today?"

Wan Feng chuckled, "Brother, your words and actions sound full of resentment. Why do you feel like you're almost becoming a shrew?"

"You've come back several times and haven't come to see these brothers. How can I not feel resentful?"

"Let's talk about this later. Let me deal with the matter between me and my cousin first." After saying that, Wan Feng turned to Zheng Song, who was pale.

"Cousin! It seems that you really have the capital to be arrogant in front of me. Look, the two big brothers of Hongya gave you face but didn't give me face to not attack you. From now on, you can walk sideways in front of me."

Xia Qiulong took over the conversation: "What's going on? Your cousin doesn't take you, his cousin, seriously? Hahahaha, you're awesome, kid. This time you've met someone you can't hit or scold!"

"It seems like it's useless to point to those guys on your street, but I still have people in Wahou, cousin! Go to Wahou tomorrow, do you understand?"

Zheng Song's attitude was no longer the same indifferent and unambiguous one as before: "Cousin, I have school tomorrow."

"I don't care about that day. It's useless whether you go there or not. Go to Wahou and see how we Wahou people teach you a lesson. Okay, you can go home now. By the way, if that Feng Xing intercepts you on the way, tell him to get out if he doesn't want to die. If he comes out again, he won't have to use his legs to walk anymore."

Zheng Song agreed and slowly left.

"Feng Xing? Feng Xing blocked your cousin? Who is this Feng Xing?" Xia Qiulong asked Lu Wu and Liu He.

The two guys frowned and scratched their heads.

Lu Wu turned around and asked the people behind him: "Does anyone know who Feng Xing is?"

"I know!" said a young man.

"Feng Xing is He Tao's man, and He Tao is Miao Ling Qiangzi's man."

Qiangzi, Jin Guanqiang? He Tao?

Wan Feng felt that he needed to sort out the relationship.

It seems that in Miaoling's generation, Yu Hongchui was the one who had the final say. Jin Guanqiang was his younger brother, He Tao was Jin Guanqiang's younger brother, and Feng Xing was He Tao's younger brother.

What the hell does this have to do with anything?

"Forget it, let's not think about who Feng Xing is, big brother! Besides the other two things I came here for today, the other thing is to see you and ask if you want to do anything?"

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Just, are you guys interested in starting a business or something?"

Xia Qiulong, Lv Wu and Liu He looked at each other in bewilderment. "Brother, although we brothers have been doing business for several years, do you think we are cut out to run a business?"

"What's the big deal? We'll see if it works after we start. I think you've made a little money in the past few years but you've wasted all your energy. I asked you to go to the Wahou Market to do business, but you thought it was too far. Are you willing to set up a stall here every day in the future?"

"Isn't it good to set up a stall? You don't have to work and you don't have to worry about food and drink." Lu Wu spoke frankly.

"Is this probably what all of you are thinking right now?"

Everyone nodded.

"It's understandable that Big Brother has lost his edge. People become timid in middle age. Why are you two acting like this now? Is it because your wives are holding you back after you got married?"

"That's not the case, but what kind of business is it?"

"Do you want to do it?"

"Even if you want to do something, you have to let us know what you are going to do, right?" Xia Qiulong asked.

"I think you guys are working in mechanical manufacturing without any frame, how about just eating? I've picked a project for you, making instant noodles!"

"Instant noodles? What the hell is that?"

In 1985, instant noodles had not yet appeared on the Chinese market. At that time, there were only two manufacturers, Beijing and Modu, producing them, but they only supplied local products and did not expand to other places.

The first bag of instant noodles in China was Huafeng Sanxian Yimian, which appeared in 1986.

In 1984, the Dongguang Province Agricultural Reclamation Company imported an original instant noodle production line from Japan. It was originally intended for Zhujiang Farm, but Zhujiang Farm did not want it, so it was given to Pingsha.

After Pingsha took over this production line, he launched Huafeng Noodles in 1986. Because he had no competitors, he instantly became the leader in the domestic instant noodle market.

Not to mention that Xia Qiulong didn't know what instant noodles were, there weren't many people in the entire Hongya or even the entire Beiliao Province who knew what instant noodles were.

"To put it simply, it's noodles wrapped in a plastic bag. You can eat them raw like biscuits or soak them in hot water."

Noodles? Noodles that can be eaten raw or soaked in water? What is that?

Xia Qiulong and Liu He and Lu Wu looked at each other and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, but will this thing work?"

"Of course, do you think I would fool you?"

Xia Qiulong shook his head: "No! But we really didn't know about this thing. Today is the first day we heard about it."

"Instant noodles are a type of fast food. They're simple, quick, and cheap. They cost about 40 to 50 cents a pack. As long as you have boiling water, you put the noodles in a container and pour in the boiling water. In 10 to 8 minutes, you can have a bowl of steaming hot noodles."

The price level in 1985 can be said to be a watershed. Prices, which had remained relatively unchanged before, fluctuated for the first time from 1984 to 1985.

The price of pork has increased from 70 or 80 cents to one dollar, and the price of beef and mutton has increased by nearly one dollar and fifty cents, which is now more than two dollars.

Going to a restaurant to eat is no longer the time when two taels of liquor and two cents for a dish. Ordinary vegetarian dishes have risen to thirty or four cents, and dishes with a little meat are already seventy or eighty cents. As for those dry fried meats, they are now between one and two yuan.

Wan Feng clearly remembered that the price of a pound of meat buns had risen to 1.8 yuan.

Therefore, it is very economical to spend only four or five cents to eat a bowl of noodles in a short period of time.
