Chapter 205: Price of Ham Sausage
It was clearly the cold weather in the twelfth lunar month of winter, so Dongzi just took off the heavy cotton-padded jacket on his body, and there were beads of sweat on his face.
"Wan Ning, we are here too, let's talk about what we can do!"
Director Zhang was so loyal that he rolled up his sleeves.
Xu Wanning couldn't help the corners of her mouth twitching, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang. I originally wanted to treat you to a bowl of noodles, but I didn't expect that the business was a bit too good. How about another day?"
Manager Ma looked at the group. He looked like he was slurping noodles, and said hurriedly: "Don't wait for another day, just today. I can cook noodles, so I'll help!"
Look at the sauce poured on the small noodles. Even if he can't smell it, he can see it. You'll know it's delicious when you eat it.
Sister Lu, who knew how to cook, also joined in.
Xu Wanning said sorry to Director Zhang and others, rolled up her sleeves, and took over Cuifen's job of kneading and rolling the dough.
She stuffed a dollar and a few kilograms of food stamps into Cuifen and said: "I'm going to treat the leaders of the food factory to eat noodles later. I guess what we have is not enough. You go two hundred meters west." " Duomi, there is a grain and oil station, go and buy some flour."
"Remember, what we want to earn is reputation, small profits but quick turnover, we can't buy this kind of flour for cheap."
Cuifen also knows that she is too busy now. She didn't refuse the money Xu Wanning handed her, she accepted it and hurriedly went to buy flour.
With the addition of Xu Wanning, we are finally not so busy anymore.
She can roll out and cut the noodles as fast as three of Cuifen. Basically, the noodles on Dongzi's side are cut as soon as they are taken out of the pot.
It was already meal time, and this group of people were all doing manual labor, so they were already starving.
He simply stopped waiting for tables, chairs and benches. After serving the noodles, he squatted on the curb with a bowl in hand to eat.
"Dongzi, these brothers all do manual work, which consumes a lot of energy. Let's add more noodles to them so that they can eat full!"
Dongzi was a little reluctant.
Their noodles are made with high-quality flour, and the cost is already high. If each person added a little more, would they still make money?
But Dongzi is Xu Wanning's crazy fan, and he will listen to whatever his sister-in-law says without giving a second thought.
"Okay, I'll add half the amount for each person!"
The construction workers couldn't help but blush when they heard the conversation between Xu Wanning and Dongzi.
If possible, who would be willing to leave their hometown to move bricks on a construction site? It’s not just to make more money and give my wife, children, and parents a better life.
Originally, I just heard from a worker today that there is a newly opened noodle stall here. The price is affordable, the portions are sufficient, and most importantly, it tastes delicious.
A bowl of noodle sauce without meat costs 30 cents per bowl, and a bowl of noodle sauce with diced pork costs 50 cents per bowl.
It was indeed much more expensive than the dried steamed buns they usually ate, but moving bricks was already hard enough, and it was okay to have a better meal once in a while to make things better.
So all the people in their group who were willing to spend three to five cents came.
Who would have thought that for the same money, you can get half the amount of noodles.
A few of them with smaller appetites couldn't even finish the food, so they shared some with other workers.
"Boss, you are the one!" An older worker gave Xu Wanning and Dongzi a thumbs up.
Under the hot mist of cooking noodles, Dongzi smiled with an honest face.
"Come back next time if you feel good, I'll give you more!"
After sending the group away, Xu Wanning didn't rest for a while and continued to knead the noodles for the factory leaders.
Fortunately, the noodle sauce she prepared was large enough for more than ten people to eat together.
"This tastes really good, no less good than what you get from a state-owned hotel!" While working hard on the meal, Mr. Ma didn't forget to praise Xu Wanning's craftsmanship.
Others also said a few words of appreciation. Judging from the speed at which they couldn't stop eating the noodles, they obviously thought the noodles were extremely delicious.
"I have decided that from now on our factory will set up shop here from day one to day five."
"No!" Xu Wanning hurriedly stopped Director Zhang: "Director, you have also seen it, our place is just a small stall, and usually my brother My sister-in-law and I can handle a few diners, but if we deliver noodles to so many employees in our factory, they will be too exhausted to do it."
"If you think this tastes really good, you can help me! Promote it in the factory. They also sell breakfast. If someone is willing to come and eat it, that would be great. "
This was Xu Wanning's original idea.
Limin Food Factory is the number one food factory in Beijing. There are thousands of employees in the factory. Even if only a small number of people are willing to come to eat, it will still be a profit.
But it is definitely impossible to deliver noodles to all employees in the factory.
Don't delay everyone's normal meal.
"That's okay. Your brother's noodles are delicious and will definitely sell well."
Dongzi touched the back of his head and smiled honestly: "Then I'll borrow Factory Director Zhang's good words and try to earn more during the Chinese New Year. "
At noon, Xu Wanning returned to the food factory with the factory office leaders. Her main task these days was to teach the employees to make delicious ham sausage.
Hard work pays off. After five days of personal instruction, the employees were finally able to make ham sausages comparable to those made by Xu Wanning.
Another assembly line worker also modified the outer packaging that is most suitable for ham sausage based on Xu Wanning's suggestions.
In this book world, China's first ham sausage finally appeared.
It was a full four years earlier than the first ham sausage in Xu Wanning's world.
Because the ham sausage is not the product of Xu Wanning's own research, but draws on the successful results of her predecessors, she did not propose to brand the ham sausage as the trademark of Xu's Shop this time.
But Director Zhang and others spontaneously printed the name Xujiapu on the outer packaging.
Unsurprisingly, the ham sausage was also ignored as soon as it was put on the shelves.
Many people don’t know what it is, let alone how to eat it.
To this end, employees at the food factory have personally taught employees at department stores and various supply and marketing cooperatives the correct way to eat ham.
"You mean, this thing can be eaten raw?"
"Yes, you can eat it as long as you peel off the outer layer of skin. But if you are at home, I suggest you add one when cooking noodles and put it in the pot to pass through the water, or when frying something, pass it through the oil pot. , it will be more delicious."
The salesperson picked up a ham sausage and pointed to a few lines of small words on the outer packaging: "The manufacturer has marked various usage methods. You can follow the above tips." "
Here . Are the things expensive? "
It is said that they are all made of meat, so they are not cheap.
"There are two sizes, the thinner one costs 50 cents a piece, and the thicker one costs 80 cents a piece. And there are two flavors, original flavor and slightly spicy flavor. The price is the same. It's up to you to choose."
"Then give it . I’ll take two thick ones, one with the original flavor and one with the spicy flavor.”
