Considering that this workshop is mainly for the people of Feng County to live a better life, Xie Rongzhao basically uses local people when recruiting workers.
Most of them are nearby villagers.
Of course, she still placed her own people in several key positions. After all, the new workshop had just opened, and she was not sure if other people's spies would come in.
After Li Yue's previous house was modified, the name of the main entrance was also changed. Cheng Jingzhou personally inscribed it: Harvest Workshop.
Feng is originally taken from Feng County, and since this place is in the countryside, the word "harvest" has the best meaning.
This large house with three entrances is still vacant. Xie Rongzhao has now begun to teach people how to make pancakes and jerky.
In addition, Xie Rongzhao also wanted to develop some new things, but he never figured out what to do.
It was only after she saw with her own eyes that herders from hundreds of miles away came to exchange for tea leaves and some grains that she suddenly became inspired.
She can try making fried noodles!
She had only eaten fried noodles, but had never made them herself. She had heard people mention the recipe in her previous life, but she found it hard to swallow after drinking it, so she stopped mentioning it.
Now she suddenly remembered that it was because she felt that she should be able to improve the taste. For example, she could try adding some cooked sesame seeds, or fried peanuts, etc.
The output of peanuts in the north is still very large, so Xie Rongzhao simply asked someone to prepare a few raw materials, and then went into the kitchen to tinker.
She wasn't sure if she could make something that even the rich and powerful would like to drink, but at least she could give the merchants running around a bowl of hot fried noodles.
Xie Rongzhao asked people to buy walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar and other items, and then asked Wang Zizhen to help her. The two of them just thought about it.
After making three pots, she finally made a bowl of fried noodles that she could drink.
In fact, there is no difficult technique to make this fried noodles. As long as you are willing to use the ingredients, it will be delicious.
Xie Rongzhao tried to make two kinds, one with various auxiliary ingredients, which will taste more fragrant and make people feel fuller more easily.
There is also a simple white flour, which is then fried in oil and a little sesame is added to it. When it is time to drink, you only need to put two spoons into a bowl, add a little sugar, and brew it with boiling water.
Xie Rongzhao felt that it might be inconvenient if the guests were asked to bring extra sugar, but he was worried that some people like to eat salty food. After all, salt can be added to this fried noodles.
And for people outside, if you add salt, you should be able to regain your strength faster.
In fact, what Xie Rongzhao didn't know was that adding sugar was also possible.
Fried noodles are more convenient than anything else, and many businessmen are reluctant to eat and drink a lot when they are out. Firstly, they waste money, and secondly, they want to eat quickly and hurry up. For them, the benefits are more important than their own. Enjoyment is far more important.
For example, when you are running out, you need to serve a few steamed buns, and then ask the store for a pot of boiling water, and then you can get a bowl and drink it yourself. The hot fried noodles will be delicious and relieve your hunger.
In fact, it was the first time for Xie Rongzhao to taste such delicious fried noodles. She felt that the reason why the fried noodles in her previous life didn't taste good was because they used flour from the south. After all, the flour from the south was not as good as the flour from the north. , it seems to be a little sticky.
What Xie Rongzhao didn't know was that the fried noodles she drank with ground oil in her previous life were made by Wang Ximeng. It might be because of the flour, or it might be because of the different climate in the south, or it might be because the ratio of oil to noodles she used was wrong. , so the fried noodles are not delicious.
As Xie Rongzhao guessed, this thing is not difficult to make, and the method is very simple. The main thing is that if some details are not controlled well, the result will not be delicious.
There are three types of fried noodles. One is the simplest, just clean fried noodles without even adding sesame seeds. Because there are few raw materials, it is also the cheapest.
The second type has sesame and sugar added, and the price is three cents more expensive than that. After all, this sugar is very expensive.
The third type is the high-end version, which not only adds white sugar, but also various chopped fruits. It is fragrant and sweet. You don’t need to drink it. Once it is brewed, you can smell it from across the table.
This kind is more expensive.
Three kinds of fried noodles with oil naturally have three different customers to face.
Cheng Jingzhou is the local county magistrate. With his efforts, local merchants and squires are also actively cooperating to help build their reputation.
In less than half a month, the name of this Harvest Workshop has been established.
And those herders can be said to be their Harvest Workshop's biggest customers now.
They also make dried meat themselves, but the taste is not good, and sometimes it is very hard and annoying.
They came to Fengxian County and brought back tea, grain, fried noodles, and two large bags of various dried meats.
It’s really rewarding.
Ding Datou saw off the guests one after another. Some were too embarrassed to come in, so they stood outside the door and asked, if they wanted less, would they sell it?
The old man at the door smiled and led people inside: "Guests, don't worry, even if you only buy a pound of fried noodles, we will sell them too."
This Harvest Workshop is under the name of a well-known local businessman, mainly because he was originally a businessman, and he was also involved in it and was willing to cooperate with Xie Rongzhao's views, so the cooperation was successfully reached.
Seeing that the business of Harvest Workshop is getting better and better, some merchants have also seen business opportunities. Among them, the owner of Yuelai Inn, the largest inn in the county, is the most thief. He has already settled on a place closest to Harvest Workshop. wasteland, and then built an inn.
The imperial court ordered that fertile land should not be renovated, so he was smart and chose wasteland directly.
With one person at the head, there will be more people following behind.
One villager saw this as an opportunity, so he and his family built a small yard, built a few thatched houses, and made steamed buns here.
Others set up stalls nearby, selling biscuits, hot porridge, etc.
All in all, everything developed smoothly and incredibly quickly.
By the end of the year, the Harvest Workshop had already booked all the production for the next month. Knowing that the business of the workshop was so good, the people who came to work here were also happy. Only when the business is good can they get wages.
Xie Xiuwen looked at the letter written by Guabao, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. His little Guabao was indeed a little lucky star. Whoever he got close to would be able to prosper.
Look at this Cheng Jingzhou, he has only been in Feng County for a long time, and he is already famous in front of the emperor.
Once his term is over, he will definitely be promoted.
