The people who moved into their new homes were familiarizing themselves with the surroundings, including their neighbors and the location of their homes.
Some people even wondered if they could raise chickens. After all, it was cheaper to lay eggs than to buy them.
Since the price of grain was low, they could also feed the chickens with bran.
Today, they saw a lot of people coming out of nowhere and building a shed in the area next to them.
After asking around, they found out that they came from Huazhou and were hired by a company called Chang Kuai Vermicelli.
As for who opened Chang Kuai Vermicelli, they didn't know.
They temporarily rented a place away from Zhuangzi and were buying bamboo in large quantities.
The people looked around and found nothing interesting, so they continued to care about their own lives.
The people who were hired from Huazhou didn't know who was behind them. Anyway, they were paid well and went home before the New Year.
Everyone knew about Chang Kuai Vermicelli, but few people ate it in Chang 'an.
The people didn't have the time to know about Chang Kuai Vermicelli, but it was impossible for Li Chengqi to not know.
Li Chengqi asked but didn't get an answer. He couldn't find the boss either.
He went to Li Family Zhuangzi and found Li Yi, "Brother Yi, Chang Kuai Vermicelli …"
"It's mine. I want to try if I can do something without the name of Li Family Zhuangzi."
Li Yi directly admitted that it was his. He wanted to sell Chang Kuai Vermicelli.
"Why do you want to do this?" Li Chengqi was puzzled. Why did he have to make Chang Kuai Vermicelli?
"The yield of new rice will increase. Now, there is old rice in Chang 'an. Old rice doesn't taste good.
But to make Chang Kuai Vermicelli, old rice is the best. I can turn it into something delicious without wasting food.
When the quantity of indica rice increases and the warehouse can't hold it anymore, I can make it into Chang Kuai Vermicelli and send it to the soldiers at the border. It's more convenient to eat.
Of course, I also need to send jerky and meat floss. Otherwise, Chang Kuai Vermicelli won't have enough nutrition. "
Li Yi talked about the situation of dealing with old rice. Old rice wasn't delicious, and new rice was more fragrant.
Now that the standard of living of the people in the capital office had improved, they all wanted to eat new rice and grind wheat into Chang Kuai Vermicelli.
The land road from Luoyang to Chang 'an had been repaired, and there were always cars going back and forth.
Even the snow couldn't stop them. They just had to pull snow-removal tools and clean the roads.
"Are you selling rice noodles wholesale?" Li Chengqi nodded. Yes, he didn't eat rice noodles.
"We don't sell individual rice vermicelli in bulk. You can buy them in bamboo tubes. If the price is high, you can also buy them in bulk.
Or, after buying a bamboo tube, he would buy some in bulk and put them in the bamboo tube when he was eating.
There were small beans soaked in vinegar, dried and fried.
At the same time, there were also salt and pepper noodles, as well as dried green onions.
When he ate, he poured hot water on it, just like instant noodles. If you don't use the bamboo tube, wrap it in straw paper. "
Li Yi said as he gestured. He didn't have a plastic bag, so the vinegar couldn't be stored properly.
It was just like making vinegar cloth. Tofu was fried into bean bubbles and soaked in vinegar. When it dried, there would be a vinegar smell.
The rest of the food was wrapped in a small paper bag and poured into it when eating.
Li Chengqi swallowed his saliva. "You can put a salted egg or dried meat in a bamboo tube. The price will be higher."
"Good idea." Li Yi gave him a thumbs up.
He wanted to use this thing to advertise during the selection of singers in Nanqu. He wanted to see the effect of the advertisement.
Of course, the venue would provide rice noodles for the participants, judges, and staff to eat for free.
The audience would enjoy the discounted price and help with the promotion after eating.
Unfortunately, there was no television or internet. The singer's voice wouldn't spread far.
He couldn't use the equipment in Zhuangzi. It wouldn't be popularized and popular.
Shouting with his voice to let more people hear him was like singing in a local opera.
Li Chengqi was thinking about eating rice noodles when he suddenly had an idea. "Brother Yi, I know how to pretend to be jealous."
"How?" Li Yi was curious.
"Wax paper. Put a layer of wax on the paper. If it's poisonous, you can use beeswax." Li Chengqi had an 'I'm very capable' look on his face.
Li Yi: "…"
"Brother, it's already very expensive to package it with raw paper. If you replace it with beeswax, the cost of a packet of rice noodles will be too high. Ordinary people can't afford it."
Li Yi didn't want to sell rice noodles as a luxury item.
He wanted rice noodles to be the same as instant noodles. If people wanted to eat it, they just had to spend a little more money than making noodles themselves.
"You can make two types, one for ordinary people and the other for rich people."
Li Chengqi suggested. He actually wanted to eat the type of rice noodles for rich people.
Li Yi was in a daze for a while. "If you say so, I can make it even better."
Li Yi remembered the instant noodles and rice noodles in the past. There were oil packets, seasoning packets, and vegetable packets inside.
A packet of rice noodles was wrapped in wax paper. A packet of rice noodles cost 2 RMB, a set of seasoning cost 3 RMB, and a bamboo container cost 1 RMB.
A packet of rice noodles cost 6 RMB, no, 10 RMB. Rich people wouldn't like it if it was too cheap.
"Brother, I think …" Li Yi said his idea.
Li Chengqi continued to swallow. "Okay, 10 RMB is not expensive. A bucket of rice now costs 20 to 30 RMB."
Li Yi: "…"
A bucket of rice was cheaper. It was no longer a few hundred RMB. The problem was that a bucket of rice weighed more than 10 catties. Old rice was even cheaper.
"Dongzhu, there's someone outside. He said his name is Hao Lingquan and he wants to see you." Song De ran over like a ghost.
"What is he doing here?" Li Chengqi was puzzled. He had seen Hao Lingquan before.
Hao Lingquan was the envoy of the Bagu tribe. He was a small official and a general in the Dawu Army.
The Dawu Army was in the Shuo Province. He was sent to a small tribe in Tubo.
When Mosip's head was chopped off, Hao Lingquan came back with the people of the Bagu tribe.
Mosip's head was hung on the Vermilion Bird Avenue for people to see, mainly for the foreigners of the Honglu Temple.
Why did this person want to see Li Yi? Did he know Li Yi?
"Brother, I'll go and see him." Li Yi heard the name and got up.
He had to see this person and guess why he came.
"Brother Yi, be careful." Li Chengqi nodded.
Li Yi crossed the bridge under the protection of the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards. He saw a person.
The person was walking in circles at the place where free soup was served. He looked very anxious.
As soon as Li Yi's team appeared, the person walked quickly towards Li Yi. When he was more than ten steps away, he was stopped by the guards.
The guards wanted to search him. Hao Lingquan opened his arms and waited.
"No need. Let's find a place to sit down." Li Yi shook his head and went to the noodle stall.
He sat down and glanced at the side. "Everyone, I have something important to do. Thank you!"
The people eating noodles immediately took their bowls and went to other places to make things convenient for Li Yi.
"General Hao, please take a seat." Li Yi stood up and invited again.
"I'm just a general." Hao Lingquan rubbed his hands and looked very uneasy.
"The one who took the initiative to contact the Later Turkic Baku Tribe to instigate a rebellion and even helped to kill Mosip is the general."
Li Yi invited again.
"Doctor Li, you … I …" Hao Lingquan heard Li Yi's words and his eyes suddenly turned red. He stood there speechless.
"Please!" Li Yi invited for the third time.
