Chapter 182 Hot Pot Business
Cao Jun felt a little embarrassed and wanted to give up, but he was unwilling to do so.
Zheng Xiaoman held back his laughter, took a pair of serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of vermicelli and put it in his bowl.
She picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Mr. Fang's bowl.
Cao Jun didn't hesitate to pick up the bowl and put a few vermicelli into his mouth.
The vermicelli is cooked to the perfect temperature, not too soft but still chewy.
At the same time, the vermicelli has absorbed the thick broth, and it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth when you take a bite.
Zheng Dashan and his companions also started eating, especially Lixia, who couldn't wait any longer.
It was also the first time for him to eat this kind of vermicelli, and he was already craving for it because of the smell.
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of slurping noodles, which sounded particularly familiar to Zheng Xiaoman.
She suddenly remembered that she could also use vermicelli to make hot and sour noodles, which was her favorite food in her previous life.
The sour and spicy taste combined with the unique smooth texture of vermicelli really makes it hard for her not to love it.
The table was quiet for a while before Cao Jun finally spoke: "The taste and texture of this vermicelli are very good. Xiaoman, does this vermicelli originally have this meaty flavor?"
He thought that the meaty aroma on the vermicelli was the aroma of the vermicelli itself. He didn't know that vermicelli can absorb all kinds of delicious flavors.
Zheng Xiaoman smiled and shook his head. "Uncle Cao, vermicelli itself has no taste. It's not made of meat, so how can it taste like meat?"
Cao Jun exclaimed in surprise, "But the vermicelli we eat has a meaty flavor."
Everyone at the table nodded; the rich aroma of meat could not be faked.
Zheng Xiaoman explained to them: "This vermicelli itself has no taste, but when it is cooked with other foods, it can absorb the aroma of other foods.
For example, if you stew fish with vermicelli, the vermicelli you eat has the freshness of the fish soup. If you stew chicken, it has the freshness of the chicken soup.”
Cao Jun nodded in understanding, "I see, this vermicelli is really magical."
Zheng Xiaoman asked him to try the cold-mixed vermicelli, which was also very delicious.
Mr. Fang looked at Zheng Xiaoman with surprise. He didn't know how this little girl could have so many new and exotic foods in her head.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and there was nothing left after the four dishes.
After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, Cao Jun started to talk about business.
"Girl, I've tasted all the ingredients you asked someone to bring, and they all taste great.
I came here this time to talk to you about the hot pot base. Do you plan to sell the recipe directly, or use it to buy shares like last time?"
Zheng Xiaoman didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I still plan to use the recipe to invest."
Cao Jun liked her directness. He smiled and said, "It's fine to invest, but do you want to make the base material, or do you want me to make it and you just take care of the final share?"
Zheng Xiaoman had thought about this problem a long time ago. Cao Jun must have a huge demand for hot pot base, which is definitely not something her family can supply.
"Uncle Cao, I won't get involved. I'll give you the recipe and you can find someone to make it."
Cao Jun nodded happily, "Okay, but this time we can't split it 70% to 30%.
After all, I am responsible for purchasing the ingredients, finding people to make it, setting up a shop to sell the hot pot, and the subsequent promotion.
You just provided a recipe and you want 30% of the net profit, then I will lose money."
Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "Of course I understand what you said. Making hot pot is not as simple as making ice. It requires much more manpower and resources than making ice.
So I will give you another 10% profit, this time we will split it 20-80, what do you think?"
"Haha, you are a very smart girl. Okay, then we will divide it 20:80."
After discussing the hot pot base, Cao Jun asked again, "Girl, are you going to sell the vermicelli we ate today?"
Zheng Xiaoman hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Uncle Cao, this vermicelli is made from a new food we found in the mountains, but this food is not grown in large quantities yet, so there is no way to make vermicelli in large quantities."
Cao Jun was curious when he heard about the new food. "What kind of new food is it that can make something as delicious as vermicelli? Bring it here for me to see."
It just so happened that their family still had some sweet potatoes cooked at noon, so Zhou Chunfeng looked at her daughter and asked her. When she saw her daughter nod, she got up and went to the kitchen to get the sweet potatoes.
Cao Jun took a sweet potato from the bowl and put it in front of him to take a look. What kind of food is this? He had never seen it before.
Mr. Fang also picked one up and put it under his nose and smelled it. The sweet potato had a sweet smell.
He couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite. The sweet potato had a thin layer of skin on the outside, and the inside tasted very sweet and soft.
Fang Xiucai was stunned after taking a bite. He didn't expect that this thing looked ordinary but tasted so good.
Cao Jun also took a big bite, and his reaction was much more exaggerated than Fang Xiucai's.
"Hmm, what is this? Why is the smell so unique?"
Zheng Xiaoman said: "We call this thing sweet potato, and we discovered it accidentally on the back mountain.
The sweet potato has a soft and sweet texture, and can be eaten like rice or flour.”
When Mr. Fang heard that it could be eaten as food, he became even more interested. "Xiao Man, do you think these sweet potatoes can be eaten as food?"
Zheng Xiaoman nodded, "Yes, this sweet potato will make you feel full after eating it, and can be eaten as a staple food instead of rice and steamed buns."
Fang Xiucai looked at the remaining half of the sweet potato in his hand and said, "Haha, I never thought that there would be such a good thing in this mountain."
At that time, he didn't know the yield of sweet potatoes, so he didn't care too much.
Zheng Xiaoman didn’t say anything else. She planned to grow sweet potatoes at home for another year and then sell them out.
Cao Jun doesn't care about these things. He only cares about whether this thing can make him money.
He sat there in deep thought for a while, then he looked up at Zheng Xiaoman and said, "Girl, since sweet potatoes are a new food, I think we can take advantage of their uniqueness and make a good profit."
His idea coincided with Zheng Xiaoman's, and vermicelli and other products could be produced in large quantities next year.
This year she plans to take advantage of the fact that there are no sweet potatoes on the market and sell them at a high price as a rare food.
She looked at Cao Jun and said, "Uncle Cao, I do have this idea, but I'm still undecided about how to sell it and how much it should be sold for."
Cao Jun laughed, "I'm good at this, just leave it to me and you don't have to worry about it."
Zheng Xiaoman still believed in him. She thought for a moment and said, "I can give you several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes. As for how you sell them, Uncle Cao, I won't get involved.
But we'll split it 40-60. I'll take 60, you take 40."
