Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 42 Letter from Wu Song! [Please collect it! 】

According to his recent observations, the cake and pot helmet shop may not be good if it really wants to open Manyanggu County.

Once the market is full of stores and manpower, it will become a burden.

If you are opening more than a dozen, you are also robbing your own business.

After all, Yanggu County is too small and the market is limited.

In the opening of the two, it can almost occupy all the cake pot helmet market in Yanggu County, and there is no missing share.

Another shop, Wu Zhi decided to get something else.

As for what to do.

Wu Zhi has already thought about it.

He first had someone decorate the shop, and at the same time recruited three cooks to train him.

It is not difficult under Wu Zhi's careful teaching, and they can learn it quickly, including a new ingredient, which is stinky tofu.

Not bad.

Stinky tofu.

Don't underestimate this stuff, it's very popular.

"Stinky tofu is very popular in the world, and the market is huge. It was even a new item in the Song Dynasty. At present, there is tofu in the Song Dynasty, but it seems that there is no stinky tofu."

Wu Zhi thought.

If he sells stinky tofu, he can open several stores to make money.

Speaking of stinky tofu, there are actually allusions.

According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam lived in the guild hall. He wanted to return to his hometown because he failed the exam, but the transportation was inconvenient and he didn't have much money in his hands.

So I planned to study in Beijing and take the exam again, so I had to make a living in Beijing.

So I rented a few rooms, ground tofu and sold it along the street every day.

Once, he cut these tofu into small pieces and salted them in a small crock. Afterwards, he concentrated on studying and forgot about it.

In the end, he failed again. He was heartbroken, and he was very decadent when he returned home.

However, suddenly he remembered that the tofu marinated in the vat was probably broken, so he hurriedly opened the lid of the vat, and a stench came in his nostrils, and the tofu was already gray. Contains a strong aroma, intriguing.

He gave it to his neighbors to taste, but they all praised it.This made him very happy.

Because the scientific research failed, he sold this kind of stinky tofu. Unexpectedly, the business became prosperous day by day, and he made a fortune instead.

Wu Zhi called several chefs together and began to tell them how to make stinky tofu.

A chef said: "Master Wu, what are you going to do?"

"Make stinky tofu!"

"Stinky tofu?" Several chefs looked at each other, they had never heard of stinky tofu.Since it is stinky tofu, how do you eat it?
They can't figure it out.

It just depends on Wu Zhi's operation.

Cut the marinated tofu into tofu cubes with a knife.Then steam the tofu cubes in a steamer.The next steps will take a few days.

Anyway, a few chefs are here every day.

Wu Zhi put the tofu cubes in a cool place until the tofu grew long mold lines.

After a few days, take it out, boil the water in a pot, put in the millet and cook on low heat until a layer of rice oil appears on the millet soup.

Wrap the moldy thread on the tofu along the tofu block, put it into the ceramic jar, pour the boiled rice soup, add an appropriate amount of salt, too much will make it salty, and too little will make it light, according to personal taste.

After sealing the ceramic jar for one month, it can be eaten after opening.

After doing all this, Wu Zhi was speechless for a while, the cycle was a bit long.

So the stinky tofu shop is temporarily closed.I had to make a large number of seals and wait for the sale next month.

However, the two cake shops have already been completed, and after opening, the business is not bad.

Although it was not as popular as when the cake first came out, it was enough for Wu Zhi to make money.

Although the tofu shop has not opened yet, all three shops have been renovated with all kinds of equipment, and the stinky tofu has also been sealed.

Now Wu Zhi owns ten stores, and with the opening of the other two, his daily net profit has soared from 15 taels to 20 taels.

The nearby neighbors were also surprised to see the opening of Dalang Cake Shop.

"Bring me a piece of cake."

"I want one too."

One person exclaimed: "This is the branch opened by Dalang, right? We have opened several in Yanggu County! Here are two more, and Dalang has almost ten stores here."

"It was opened by Da Lang, you don't know yet, these three stores, including the house behind, have already been bought by Da Lang!"

"What? This house belongs to Wu Zhi?"

"That's right! Last time I saw him move, it belongs to him."

"Tsk tsk, there are houses worth hundreds of taels of silver. Awesome!"

"Hehe, Wu Zhi now has a personal maid, she is no longer an ordinary person, and has become the rich man of our Yanggu County."

"This is it!"

Many people talked about it, and many of them watched Wu Zhi make a fortune. What was Wu Zhi at the beginning?
Isn't it just someone who just moved here to sell pancakes?
Who knows that in a short period of time, they have opened several branches, bought a big house, and even hired two maids to serve them. I am really envious.

Especially the beautiful lady Pan Jinlian.Today's days are booming!

Next, the two stores also got on the right track, and the business was booming.

There are many people buying cakes.

And the third stinky tofu signboard has been made, and the stinky tofu has not yet been baked, so it will take a while.

Wu Zhi waited for the income every day, and in his spare time, he suddenly thought that he had some talent, so he went out to buy some pens, ink, books and paper.

Enjoying the flowers in the courtyard, blowing the wind, playing chess with my wife, cultivating sentiment, playing with pen and ink and so on.

in the room.

Xiao Wu helped Wu Zhi grind the ink, and seeing the master writing with a brush, the font was magnificent and majestic.
Even when Pan Jinlian came in and saw Wu Zhi writing, she was also surprised: "Da Lang, you, can you still know calligraphy and painting?"

Wu Zhi turned his head and smiled, "Know it, isn't this practicing?"

"Are you still practicing? Although Xiaodie can't understand the master's handwriting, she also knows that it is a very good handwriting."

Xiaodie said.

Wu Zhi smiled. In fact, although he was a chef in his previous life, he also liked writing and painting scenery. When he was studying, Wu Zhi's painting was ranked among the top three in his class.

He also has a little foundation, plus some talent, if Wu Zhi writes with spirit, he feels that savvy and talent play a significant role in this aspect.

"In the past, I had to pause for a while when I was writing, and it was a bit unsmooth. Now I write these words in one go, and there is a kind of aftertaste. It must be the effect of talent and understanding."

"What are you writing, let me see!" After Wu Zhi finished writing, Pan Jinlian could see clearly that there were a few lines of small characters in the bold and sloppy font.

Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return.

Don't you see Gaotangmingjing's sad white hair, the morning is like a blue silk and snow is at dusk.

After a few lines of characters came down, Xiaodie Xiaowu and Pan Jinlian were dumbfounded on the spot when they saw the words.

Xiaodie Xiaowu only looked at the overall word style, and felt a sense of shock.

And Pan Jinlian was still able to read, so she was a little surprised at first glance.

Pan Jinlian: "This, you wrote this?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "That's right!"

"This poem is very well written!...By the way, did you create this poem yourself?" Pan Jinlian asked.

"..." Wu Zhi felt embarrassed, how did he create this himself?I wanted to pretend to be my own, but then I thought that Li Bai seemed to be from the Tang Dynasty, and it was easy to reveal his secrets.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "This was created by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. You should have heard of Li Bai."

"Uh, I don't know. Neither Xiao Wu nor I can read!"

Xiaodie shook her head, but it was Pan Jinlian who said, "I've read Li Bai's poems, but I haven't seen this one."

"Oh?" Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Actually, this poem is very long, may I read it to you?"

"Okay! Master read it quickly, I want to listen..." Xiaodie Xiaowu seemed very interested.

Wu Zhi looked high, and a poem burst out from his mouth:

"You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not returning.

Don't you see Gaotangmingjing's sad white hair, the morning is like a blue silk and snow is at dusk.

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone..."

"It's a good thing that my talents are born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone..." Several people who heard this poem praised it repeatedly.

"Master is so knowledgeable, he actually knows this good poem, and he writes it well!" Xiao Die admired.

Although she doesn't know how to read, she can still hear the artistic conception of the poems.

"It's wonderful..." Pan Jinlian didn't expect Da Lang to be so educated.I have read a lot of poems, and they are also good at writing.

When everyone was laughing, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Master, there is a letter, it seems to be from the master's younger brother..." Zhao Sandao, the servant outside the door.

These are the two servants that Wu Zhi recruited by the way when he was looking for a cook.

One is Zhao San and the other is Li Wu.Also help with household chores.

Wu Zhi recruited them because he saw that the two were honest and honest.Their names are based on their ranking in the family.

In the Song Dynasty, many families had many children and had no livelihood. Being a domestic servant for a wealthy family was also a way out.

At least eat and drink, don't worry about food and clothing.

Hearing this, Wu Zhi was a little confused, he muttered to himself: "Brother... what brother?"

Then Wu Zhi suddenly realized that he almost forgot that he had a younger brother.

It should be Wu Song's letter, right?
