The cultivated land, together with the wheat seeds that were already of high quality, finally produced ordinary grade wheat.
This was the second ordinary grade food ingredient that Gu Zheng had come into contact with, except for the fleeceflower and jade poria. The fleeceflower and jade poria were naturally cultivated. As long as there was no artificial influence, they could easily reach the ordinary grade. However, this kind of wheat was actually cultivated by people. It was not easy.
The first ordinary grade food ingredient that Gu Zheng had come into contact with was the honey that he had first used, which was artificially collected honey.
Although the quality had reached the ordinary grade, the yield had decreased a lot. Ordinary wheat could produce 700 to 800 jin per mu. Better wheat could produce up to 1,000 jin. Even if it was not as good, it could produce up to 400 to 500 jin per mu.
The land contracted by the Wang brothers did not use any fertilizers or pesticides. Even the highest yield was less than 300 jin per mu. The average yield was only about 200 jin per mu.
Low yield, but high quality.
As for the five mu of cultivated land, the yield per mu was only about 100 jin per mu. Moreover, it was produced every two years. The amount of flour produced was even less. With such a low yield, there was no way to sell it. Therefore, Wang Wei came up with the idea of a reward. He would draw a lottery every day and give free flour to the people who won the lottery.
There was only one bowl of sky noodles a day. No matter how much money you offered, it would not be sold. If you wanted to eat the sky noodles, you could only draw a lottery. As a result, although the sky noodles were not sold, the business was better. All the people who wanted to eat the sky noodles could only order ordinary noodles.
It had to be said that Wang Wei was very business-minded. No wonder he was in charge of the external affairs and his younger brother was in charge of the internal affairs.
"Mr. Wang, I want to ask if you sell the flour used for the sky noodles. I don't need much, just 10 jin."
Gu Zheng asked in a low voice. With the ordinary grade flour, he did not need to use the second-grade flour to upgrade his food ingredients.
Gu Zheng had originally planned to go to the research institute during the preliminary competition in Hangzhou and ask for the second-grade wheat flour. The research institute was in charge of upgrading the quality of various crops. There were many second-grade ingredients. With the second-grade flour, he could upgrade his food ingredients to the ordinary grade for this competition.
However, now that he had the ordinary grade ingredients to choose from, he did not need to upgrade his food ingredients anymore.
"Sorry, all our flour is not for sale!"
Wang Wei smiled. Over the years, many people wanted to buy their flour, but they were rejected by him. He was not surprised by Gu Zheng's request.
In fact, they had a lot of flour for ordinary noodles. After all, this kind of flour could be produced with enough contracted land. Although the yield was low, it was not like the sky noodles, which could only be produced with five mu. If they wanted to expand their business, they had to raise land for ten years. Without patience, there was no way to do it.
However, no matter how much ordinary flour there was, it couldn't be mass-produced like the flour on the market. Wang Wei had always had the ambition to expand the scale of his business. Even if he didn't open a chain store, he could make the store bigger and sell more pasta. Therefore, he never sold the raw materials of flour.
He didn't even have enough for himself, so how could he sell it?
"President Wang, can you make an exception? We don't need much!"
................................................................
"Mu Mu, I'm sorry. This is a matter of principle. We have never sold it. You can ask around!"
Wang Wei smiled and shook his head. Many people came to buy flour, and he refused many times. He already had the experience of refusing.
Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not selling. Can we exchange?"
"Exchange? What exchange?"
Wang Wei was a bit puzzled. There were many people who came to buy flour, but no one had ever proposed an exchange. For them, flour was bought for use. There were two reasons for exchanging flour. First, there was nothing suitable, and second, many people couldn't remember.
Gu Zheng was now carrying a test. He had to use flour. It was troublesome to go to the research institute, and he also needed to upgrade his qualification. In front of him, there was flour that could be used directly. He did not want to give it up. Since the other party did not want to sell, he did not want to force it.
"I don't know, Wang Wei, do you know Jade Poria?"
Gu Zheng said slowly. Wang Wei was stunned and immediately shouted, "Jade Poria, the best in poria?"
"Yes, it's Jade Poria!"
Gu Zheng nodded. It was good that the other party knew about Jade Poria. If he knew about Jade Poria, then he knew its value. The chances of exchange were higher.
"Can I take a look first?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Wei said. Gu Zheng nodded and said, "I don't have Jade Poria with me. It's in the hotel. If Wang Wei wants to see it, I'll go back and get it for you!"
"Okay, no, I'll go back with you!"
Wang Wei's behavior made Gu Zheng feel a little strange. Not only had he heard of Jade Poria, but he also seemed to care about it. If that was the case, then the possibility of the exchange today was much higher.
It would be best if the exchange was successful. Jade Poria's value was very high, but it could not help him complete this test. The chicken noodle soup did not need Jade Poria. This was not a soup for dietetics. Adding Jade Poria might affect the taste of the whole soup.
After all, the main taste of noodles was on the surface. It was not like soups, where the main focus was on the soup to enhance the taste.
When they came, there were two people. When they went back, there were three people. Wang Wei had a car, so the three people drove back to the hotel together.
"Sorry, I'll go back to the room to clean up. You stop the car first!"
While Wang Wei stopped the car, Gu Zheng got out of the car first. In fact, Jade Poria was on him. He could take it out at any time, but he had to enter the primitive space to get it.
Entering the primitive space, he would disappear. In front of Wang Wei and Mu-Mu, he would perform a big change. Unless he was crazy, he would not do that. So he proposed to go back to the hotel and go back in advance.
After locking the door, Gu Zheng entered the primitive space and took out half a piece of Jade Poria. This was the remaining part that was not used up last time. If it was just for exchange, these Jade Poria were enough. He did not need much flour.
In terms of value, these Jade Poria were more than 100,000 yuan.
"This is your Jade Poria?"
Wang Wei looked at Jade Poria and was a little excited. The more excited he was, the greater his desire for Jade Poria, and the greater the possibility of the exchange success.
"Yes, it's a real Jade Poria. It's very old and of good quality!"
Wang Wei looked at it and nodded. After a while, he looked up and said to Gu Zheng, "Mr. Buzheng, I'm willing to exchange. I know the value of Jade Poria. I'll exchange this piece of Jade Poria with ten kilograms of flour and money. How about it?"
Wang Wei did know the value of Jade Poria. He also needed Jade Poria. He had an old mother at home who was suffering from rheumatism and could not get out of bed and walk. The two brothers took their mother to many hospitals, but there was no way. Finally, an old Chinese medicine doctor gave them a prescription. According to this prescription, their mother's condition could be improved.
The prescription was given, but there was a very troublesome ingredient. The ingredient was Jade Poria. Without Jade Poria, ordinary Poria could be used as a substitute, but the effect was far inferior to Jade Poria.
The two brothers had been shopping for a long time. Previously, they had received a piece of Jade Poria. After decocting the medicine for their mother, their mother's condition improved a lot. She could get out of bed and walk. Unfortunately, after that piece of Jade Poria was used up, they could not find a new one. The two of them had been looking for new Jade Poria. They had heard of and seen a few times, but they were all fake. They were not real Jade Poria.
Without Jade Poria as an ingredient, their mother's body could not take it anymore. Now, she was still lying in bed. The two brothers were filial sons. They had been looking for ways to buy Jade Poria, but they had not received one. They did not expect someone to deliver it to their doorstep today, which was why Wang Wei was so excited.
It was also because he knew the value of Jade Poria that he proposed to exchange for Sky Flour. He was very smart. If he only offered money, the other party would definitely not agree. It was better not to say such words. Sky Flour was very important to them, but their mother's health was more important.
Sky Flour was actually not cheap. It took ten years to raise the soil, and it was only produced once every two years. In addition, the production was very low. This kind of flour was more than a thousand times more expensive than ordinary flour.
However, it still could not be compared to Jade Poria. Wang Wei was still thinking about how much money was appropriate to give Gu Zheng. But no matter how much money it was, to be able to buy Jade Poria was good news to him.
