As soon as Luo Chaoxi picked up the instant noodles with his fork, he heard someone approaching.
A few young men, a little tanned and tall, came in and approached Luo Chaoxi's. Several men blocked out the light.
"Boss, what are you eating? Are you selling it?"
Luo Chaoxi put down his fork and stood up. "This is instant noodles, our new specialty. Would you like to try it?"
They don't dress like residents, and they don't look like they're from here.
Must be a runner.
"Is that what you ate?" The first middle-aged man took a deep breath when he saw the bowl of noodles.
That's the smell!
Even the smell aroused his appetite.
"Yes, it's on sale on the first day of today, so there's a discount. 25 teals a bowl in the store, 30 teals for takeout, and 20 teals for half-finished products. "Luo Chaoxi said that the price was doubled and that there was a discount instead of a normal price, so if the price is not suitable, it can be changed later.
"There are thirteen brothers altogether. Just thirteen bowls." A few people all sat down at three tables. Luo Chaoxi picked up the bowl of instant noodles and tried to put it at the front desk. When it arrived, several people stared at the bowl in their hands.
"I haven't eaten this yet, or..."
"Sell it to me, I'm starving!" said the young man, he grabbed a handful of coins from his arms and handed them to Luo Chaoxi. Luo Chaoxi smiled more warmly, "Please wait a moment."
It was a specialty, but the first business was instant noodles.
This is the charm of instant noodles.
Even if you are used to eating delicacies, you will still miss the taste of instant noodles.
The young man took the bowl of noodles, took chopsticks from the table, and eat the noodles first in front of his teammates.
The noodles taste as delicious as they smell. The noodles are curly, chewy, and stretchy. It is not fresh as regular noodles. The scent of noodles is mixed with a slightly spicy taste, which made his saliva wild.
"It's delicious!" He took a bite of noodles and then drank a mouthful of soup, swallowed in his stomach.
It's the same noodle, why does this new recipe in this store taste so good?
He likes it so much!
"Boss is it delicious! The others watched him eat. The people sitting at the table couldn't help but take the chopsticks. Xiao Guo tried to snatch the instant noodles from the hungry wolves, but obviously, he failed.
Originally a bowl of noodles was only 150 grams, but it was not enough for an adult man to eat. The other three men on the table took away most of the bowl of noodles without mercy. They mercilessly took most of the noodles, leaving only a pinch and a bowl of soup for Guo.
But what was left of the soup was also snatched.
"You need a face! "Xiao Gou was protecting his bowl! "It came up shortly after you ordered! Why are you taking it from me? "
"Who told you to eat first!"
Luo Chaoxi started at the earthen stove in the back kitchen.
He can't help but use hot water to make this kind of stove. In fact, ramen tastes better when cooked. But if you go out, you can only use hot water to make it. It is also a more popular way to eat it.
Lou Chaoxi opened the lid one by one and poured hot water one by one. After five minutes of waiting in the back kitchen, he reappeared in the front hall with dozens of instant noodles and chopsticks.
As soon as he appeared, all the merchants looked like wolves starving for days.
The power of instant noodles is so great.
They like the taste of instant noodles, but they were a little more excited than I expected.
Almost as soon as Luo Chaoxi put the bowl in front of them, the men eagerly lifted the lid, took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks, and buried themselves in the meal.
They ate the noodles briskly, but in a few bites they ate up the whole bowl, then drank the whole bowl of instant noodle soup. When they put down the bowl, there were only a few green onion leaves left.
Obviously, this bag of instant noodles may be enough for an average girl, but those of them who need to work hard all year to maintain their energy by eating meat is simply not satisfied.
"Is there more!"
"There are thirty-six more," said Lou Chaoxi.
Mainly, he can't afford to buy new ones. If he runs out of money, he'll starve to death on the streets.
"It's all done!" A few of them took the rest of the 36 bags from Luo Chaoxi. Lou Chaoxi smiled happily and went back to the kitchen with the rest of the noodles.
All of these are sold, and there will be 1,250 teals, over a couple of months! Experience bars climb 1/10!
That's Good!
Lou Chaoxi first soaked thirteen bowls and then sent out all the rest.
But apparently, they still didn't have enough food for these big eaters. Luckily, they brought some dry food with them. When some people found the noodle soup delicious, they tore up the bread and threw it into a bowl. After eating it whole, it was enough to feel full.
The small table was piled up with ramen bowls made of bamboo. The soup was gone, otherwise the piles would have spilled.
"Boss, check out! " After a while, everyone has finished all the meal. Luo Chaoxi, who's standing behind the counter and doesn't know what to look at, has come to pay the bill.
"Everyone ate 49 servings in the shop, a total of 1,225 cents."
The head of the merchant took out a small piece of silver and counted out 1,225 copper coins to Luo Chaoxi. The system automatically calculated the price and settled the accounts.
The experience bar was immediately brought forward by 1/10.
"By the way, boss, what do you mean by that half-finished product takeout? "The caravan finally asked what they had been curious about when they paid.
Because when Lou Chaoxi serves the meal, it is not directly placed on the pottery bowl like any other restaurant, but wrapped one by one on the floor.
It made them curious.
"It's just a box." Luo Chaoxi found new instant noodles under the cupboard. In fact, he changed the noodles and packages from the system before showing them.
"This food can be carried out. You just need to take it apart, put it in a pot, and put it in a seasoning package. You can put meat, eggs, vegetables, and some beef, and if you don't have a pot to cook noodles, you can just soak them in hot water, or you can eat them directly with chopsticks inside.
"And also, it can be kept for a year without opening the lid and in contact with something wet."
That's the benefit of the system.
The expiration date of ordinary ramen is about half a year, but the system automatically processed the packaging and can be extended to one year, and if it exceeds a month or two, it is up to the buyer to eat it.
The caravan's eyes lit up when they heard Luo Chaoxi's introduction.
Isn't that what they want?
Delicious, fit, and meaty!
25 teals are so worth it!
The boss sold it cheaply, probably because he said he was having an event with the new product today. If it works well, he can talk to other merchants and let them try it out.
The supplies that the merchant carries are only dried bread except for water. These bread have little moisture, but they are very resistant to hunger and are suitable for filling up on long-distance trips.
Of course, it can only fill the stomachs. It's impossible to taste good.
They have encountered noodles similar to this one, but this kind of noodles can only be kept for less than seven days, so they can't be taken to the road to eat in large quantities, and after a few days of walking, they consume them all.
This is what Lou Chaoxi said...
"Boss, how much stock here can you make? Is there a discount?"
Luo Chaoxi calculated that if you count all his savings, plus the replacement of the system packaging can buy hundred bags.
If you resell it, you will earn double the profit.
"Since it's a new product, there's not much in stock. There are still a hundred boxes left, And more to be made. As for the discount, depends on how much you want."
"Only a hundred boxes." the head of the merchants frowned. He didn't expect it to be this much.
"There is another package, but there is no box and chopsticks, and it is a pack of five noodles, which will be cheaper. "Luo Chaoxi brought out another package of instant noodles.
The packaging fee of this kind of instant noodles is much cheaper than bamboo and it is also more economical.
"This one is easy to store.....Is it waterproof? What's the price?" The merchant captain was visibly moved.
He didn't care about the bowl outside. After all, they had to cook outside, and even if they didn't, they could buy a little of these and reuse them.
"These kinds of packaging can be stored for half a year without being opened. They cost 75 teals each, and they contain 5 pieces of noodles and 5 spices."
Kansai, the leader of the merchant, calculated the price, and the box with a bowl was 20 teals and the 5 boxes with a bowl was 100 teals, and the five-pack was almost 30% cheaper. Although the storage time was shorter to keep.
"What if we want 1000 packs plus 100 barrels?"
If you sell it at the original price, it's worth 772,500 teals.
If the deal is successful, then he will be able to upgrade to the second level on this first deal, and he will be able to pay back the rent he owed to Uncle Chen without being kicked out.
Although Kangzhou City was not a very prosperous place like the capital city, it was a commercial transportation center. The house price and rent here were not cheap, even if Uncle Chen's shop was not in the center of the city, but the rent was 9 taels of silver a month.
This is still the preferential price that Uncle Chen gave him.
You know, the rent for a month around here is 10 taels.
The rent I owed for half a year was 54 taels, not counting the two months I had reserved, plus 63 taels for both months.
That doesn't count for rent renewal.
If this is true, he'll have to pay back 4/5 of his profits, and the rest of the money... probably to rent a house for another month.
So poor!
That's the main reason that Luo Chaoxi does not have money to rent a house in a more prosperous place.
He is not going to change places for the time being.
"It'll be 772,500 teals at the original price, if you want to make an order, I will give you 77 taels, but you need to pay half of the deposit first before I can do it for you."
The merchant leader, Kansai, pondered for a moment but asked another question. "When can I get it then?"
"Tomorrow at this time will do."
It can be made now after paying, but Lou Chaoxi just said that there is no stock and needs to be made now.
He couldn't punch himself in the face.
"It's done," Kansai said to Luo Chaoxi. "It's a deposit of 33 taels of silver. I'll bring my cart with me tomorrow."
Lou Chaoxi listened to the system's tinkling of an escalation, and smiled warmly: "Good-bye, everyone."
