Chapter 514 The Ministry of Household Affairs Has No Choice but to Promote New Businesses

"The moon is round tonight." Li Yi stood at the door of the yard and looked up at the sun.

The eunuch Ziyu behind thought about it and agreed: "The proprietor is really awesome."

"The Hubu's noodles are selling well? Have the people accepted them?" Li Yi thought of noodles.

"It's more cost-effective than people grinding their own flour and making noodles. The flour needs to be ground, and the price of buying noodles is not low."

Bihe spoke up from behind, commenting on the noodles.

"Even if you buy noodles, you still have to cook them. It's troublesome if you don't have a fire at home. Let's help the people who have trouble cooking noodles."

Li Yi finally saw him.

Before noon that day, people in the village brought things to give to the children who were shining shoes.

A pottery bowl, a pair of chopsticks, a bamboo board, and instant noodles wrapped in raw paper.

When it was time to eat at noon, the children went to each house and asked if they had boiled water. If not, cold water would be fine.

A farm is so big, it’s impossible for every house to have boiling water.

They don't have it, and the temples also have it.

People everywhere saw the shoeshine children washing the pottery bowls, bamboo boards and chopsticks first.

Then open the bag of raw edge paper, take out a square made of noodles, and put the square into the bowl.

Pour hot water and cover it with a bamboo board.

It didn't take long for the child to pick up the bamboo board and the aroma from the bowl wafted out.

Smell it, it smells of chopped green onions and meat.

Use chopsticks to flip the noodles a few times, lower your head to take a sip of the soup, then pick a few noodles and suck them into your mouth, taking small bites.

"What is this? Can the noodles be soaked in boiling water? Just soak them for a short time?"

Some of the onlookers who were curious came forward and asked for the others.

"Lijiazhuangzi's instant noodles are cooked and can be soaked in cold water. If that doesn't work, just chew them dry."

The shoeshine boy said what the banker told him when he delivered instant noodles.

"How much does this cost?" Sure enough, someone asked the price.

"It's twice as expensive as noodles, but you don't have to cook it yourself. It still has flavor, and the salt and other ingredients are all put in."

The shoe shiner said and took another sip of soup. Hot soup tastes better.

"How to make it? Put other things in the noodles, cook them and then dry them? No way."

"Bring it on, put it in the pot and bake it."

"Not to mention it's fried, yes, it's deep-fried. Isn't it cooked after it's fried?"

"It's almost the same. Li Jia Zhuangzi is willing to use oil."

"It's expensive to blow it up yourself, but it's cheaper to do it more."

“Knead the noodles first, then put other things in to make noodles, then fry them in oil, that’s it.”

"Ask Lijiazhuangzi when it will be sold and buy one to try."

Word spread among people in Chang'an that Lijiazhuangzi had come up with a kind of noodles that could be chewed dry and soaked in hot or cold water.

The key is that the price is cheap, twice as expensive as the noodles sold now.

Deep fried, with salt, chopped green onion and star anise powder inside.

Take a piece with you, it's much better than fried noodles and gamba pancakes.

So the Ministry of Household Affairs sold noodles and helped the people adopt the living habit of buying noodles.

Lijiazhuangzi's instant noodles were also accepted, but better.

"I knew he had bad intentions." In the evening, a group of people were having dinner in the prime minister's box in the heaven and earth. Bi Gou was helpless.

Hube tried to promote noodles a few days ago, but it took a lot of effort.

First, they were given to the officials' homes. Others went to the officials' homes to see if they were OK, and they also bought them.

Naturally, gifts to officials cannot be made without asking for money.

As a result, things just started to improve and profits started to come in. Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs only distributed the money once.

Not only was he tired, but he also made other officials dissatisfied, and the impeachment papers from the Yushitai were sent to the top.

Lijiazhuangzi was smart enough to wait for ready-made instant noodles, and people thought they were good as soon as they took out the instant noodles.

As a minister, you still can't see this?

"Eat, try this instant noodles." Yao Chong picked up the other upside-down bowl and looked at the noodles soaked in the bowl.

Sure enough, there was a fragrance wafting out, and it looked good.

Picking it up and taking a bite, Yao Chong nodded: "Okay, it is indeed convenient, instant noodles, a good name."

"Long Ze, don't worry about it. It's twice as expensive. After all, some people are reluctant to buy it." Lu Huaishen comforted Bi Gou.

Bi Gou shook his head: "How much money do rich people still have? They have discovered that there are better things to eat. Who would still eat noodles? It has no taste."

"Long Ze, the Ministry of Finance should also learn from this." Zhang said giving the idea.

"I can't learn it. It's too troublesome. I have to buy a lot of ingredients and fry it. You see, the color of instant noodles is a little whiter than that of dried noodles."

Bi Gou pointed to the instant noodles and said that he knew what Bai was doing, but it would take a lot of effort.

Yao Chong recalled the color of Hubu noodles and admitted that there was a difference.

He took another sip of soup and said, "Ask him again if there are any other ways to make money. Let's start by taxing instant noodles."

He encouraged Bi Gou to charge taxes on the dried noodles in the Ministry of Revenue, and the price was half of the instant noodles.

This instant noodles is obviously very profitable, so go to Li Yi and ask for money.

"If you don't go, he will only pay taxes if there is profit. What did I say in the past? I will only charge him. He promised me that he would lose money selling instant noodles."

Don't be fooled by Bi Gou. One is that you can't collect taxes, and the other is to offend others.

I'm counting on Li Yi to give me some advice in the future. At worst, I'll sell the noodles farther away.

"Look, I'll just say yes. If he doesn't do something every few days, he's not Li Yi." Lu Huaishen is also superstitious now.

"It can be regarded as benefiting the people." Bi Gou felt that he was being tricked, but he still admitted that instant noodles are good to eat, and many people in Chang'an do not open fire.

Li Yi in Zhuangzi also eats instant noodles. He has eaten them several times.

To be honest, he doesn't like eating very much. The thought of instant noodles makes him feel awkward.

The Chinese people at that time never regarded instant noodles as a main meal, and they only ate them when they had no other choice.

Unlike the country on the peninsula, which is obviously rich, eating instant noodles is like eating something good. It has to be cooked and put out with a bunch of dishes, which is very ritualistic.

In his opinion, if he had time, he might as well eat noodles and stir-fry some vegetables.

"Only when more people like to eat noodles can the flour processing industry be promoted. A small hand-operated flour machine may not seem to have a large output, but it can also provide people with a job."

Li Yi told the palace maids and eunuchs his plans there.

He didn't want to trick Bi Gou, he just wanted to provide an assist to Flour, and by the way, he wanted to see if the porcelain crushing parts worked well.

If it works well, we can even use old bamboo to make the outer shell of the hand mill. The middle grinding part is made of porcelain and the other parts are made of iron.

In winter, in addition to chipping away at the ice, UU reads www.uukanshu.net and when there is nothing else to do, he just shakes and shakes at home.

Shaking out flour is always an income.

Nowadays, wheat is often used for cooking. Wheat rice is good once in a while, but it doesn't taste good after a long time.

Otherwise, why would Chinese people grind wheat into flour?

If the rice doesn't taste good, the rice is made into rice noodles.

"Proprietor, if that happens, the price of things will go up." Qingsong thought about it.

Wheat is ground into flour, and the grinder makes money. The same wheat makes more money.

"Yes, prices will gradually increase and finally balance. This is the problem of currency depreciation in the process of social development. To solve this problem, better production technology is needed to transform it into productivity."

Li Yi expressed his appreciation for Qingsong and gave him a thumbs up.
