Chapter 184 Selling Cups
"Food?" Xie Wanxing repeated his father's words softly, his mind frantically thinking.
"Yes, and we also need to find a long-term market for this food. The shop we plan to open soon won't require so many people. It would be best to find them work by building a workshop in the village." Xie Songlin frowned and thought, "It would be best to make canned food or something that can be easily taken out and sold..."
"Convenient? Take it out..." Xie Wanxing grasped these key words, and suddenly she seemed to have a flash of inspiration, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "How about making instant noodles?"
"Instant noodles? Yes! Instant noodles!" Xie Songlin was stunned at first, and then he seemed to react. He slapped his thigh excitedly. He stood up and paced back and forth a few steps. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that instant noodles was indeed an excellent choice.
"The most important thing for people who are away from home is food. Just carry a few packets with you, and when you're hungry, you can find some hot water and soak in it, and you can fill your stomach right away. There's definitely nothing like this on the market right now. If we could make it, it would definitely sell well. This workshop would then have a flagship product!"
Xie Wanxing said, "These instant noodles are not difficult to make. We just need to separate the production process, and those uncles and aunts in the village who are physically disabled can be assigned suitable positions. The main process is kneading the dough, steaming the noodles, frying or drying them, and finally adding seasoning powder and packaging them."
Xie Songlin nodded continuously as he listened. "These tasks aren't difficult once they're separated. I think this method is feasible. I'll ask your mother to help figure out how to make these instant noodles. However, we probably can't use the frying method. Although fried noodles may taste better, the cost is too high. The drying method is sufficient. As long as the drying process is well controlled, the taste of the instant noodles should be pretty good."
"We still have to find a way to sell our noodles right now, Dad." Xie Wanxing analyzed seriously, "I think we can wait a little longer on the workshop. After all, we haven't even finalized the production process yet. Let's reopen the snack shop first. There will definitely be a lot of traffic by then. Putting these instant noodles in the shop will help attract more people and help sell them better."
"We really need to open the shop first. Having a stable business location is the only way to slowly build up the business. So we have to hurry up and go check out the shop." Xie Songlin took out all the money hidden in the space, which was only about five or six hundred taels. "But this is all the money we have on the market. I'm afraid it's not enough to buy a big shop."
Xie Wanxing raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "It's easy to ask for money. Who outsiders know how much money we have in our pockets? Few people knew you hoarded so much food back then. We can pawn the gold in the space, or make a glass and sell it. Selling it in large quantities will easily cause trouble, but selling just one should not be a problem. And judging from the reaction of the city defense envoy before, this will definitely sell for a lot of money."
"For now, it's better to be cautious. Just make a cup and sell it. If anyone asks about its origins, just say I bought it in Qingshui Town. Anyway, they can't verify it now."
Xie Wanxing asked, "But the question is, who are we going to sell it to? We don't know any of the wealthy families in this city."
Xie Songlin said, "I saw a treasure house in town before. I heard that it has a lot of good things. Why don't we go ask the owner?"
When Xie Wanxing heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, her face full of excitement. She pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and covered her face with it, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes exposed: "Daddy, do you think we should cover our faces and change into black clothes?"
Xie Songlin frowned, "Axing, please stop reading weird novels. We're here to do some serious business, not to steal stolen goods! We can just go there openly. Being so mysterious will only arouse suspicion."
However, the next day, after the father and daughter went out, they secretly went into the air to change clothes and took out the clothes they wore when they went to the city defense commander's house. The main purpose was to dress more luxuriously so that it would be convenient for them to bargain with the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and make him think that the things were valuable and he would not give them a low price.
Xie Songlin drove the carriage and took Xie Wanxing out of the city. According to his memory of visiting the town several times before, he found the Treasure Pavilion. There was a servant at the door to help lead the horse. After settling the carriage, Xie Songlin took Xie Wanxing into the Treasure Pavilion. As soon as they entered the Treasure Pavilion, they were dazzled by the dazzling array of rare treasures in the store. There were all kinds of exquisite jade, dazzling jewelry, and many antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
The guys in the store were dressed in neat uniforms and were busy serving customers who came to appreciate the treasures.
When the waiter saw Xie Songlin and his daughter enter, he immediately came forward with a smile, bowed slightly and said, "Dear guests, thank you for visiting the Treasure Pavilion. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. How can I be of service to you?"
Xie Songlin bowed slightly in return and said, "Please inform the shopkeeper of your pavilion that I came here today with a rare item and would like to ask the shopkeeper to appreciate it."
The waiter looked the two up and down, and seeing that the father and daughter were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary temperament, he did not dare to neglect them and said quickly, "Please wait a moment, my two distinguished guests. I will go and inform the shopkeeper right away." After that, he hurried to the back hall.
After a while, a white-haired old man walked out slowly from the back hall. He was wearing a dark purple satin robe with golden silk patterns embroidered on the corners. His every move exuded calmness and majesty.
The shopkeeper came up to Xie Songlin and his daughter, his eyes swept over them briefly, finally landing on the box in Xie Songlin's hand. He slowly said, "I heard that this distinguished guest has a rare item. I wonder what it is?"
Xie Songlin said, "Boss, this hall is bustling with people, and there are many eyes and ears. I wonder if we can find a secluded place to discuss this in detail."
"That's no problem, please come in, distinguished guest." The shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion immediately understood what he meant and turned sideways to make a gesture of invitation.
He knew very well that the person who could make such a request must have something extraordinary in his hands. If the transaction could be successful, the Treasure Pavilion would make a lot of money, and he would also gain more prestige among his peers.
Xie Songlin nodded slightly in thanks, then gently pulled Xie Wanxing along as they followed the shopkeeper towards the inner chamber of the Treasure Pavilion. They passed through a quiet corridor, surrounded by a variety of exquisite antiques and porcelain.
Soon, they arrived at an elegantly decorated room. The room was filled with the faint aroma of tea, and the walls were decorated with several famous calligraphy and paintings. The tables and chairs were all made of fine mahogany, with exquisite carvings.
The shopkeeper walked into the room first, took a few quick steps, gently brushed the table and chairs, and said, "Dear guest, please take a seat. I wonder if you would let me feast my eyes and see this rare item now?"
