Some people said that the reason why the world could progress was because of lazy people. To avoid fatigue, lazy people invented tools. To avoid walking, they invented carriages. Because of laziness, the world progressed.
However, Qin Huaiyu and the other two lazy people were extremely unqualified. In less than a day, they returned the quill pens of the three bald men to Moton.
In the Mo Residence of Chang 'an.
The three of them did not feel guilty at all. They stood confidently in front of Meton.
"It's not easy to use at all!" Yuchi Baolin said in a low muffled voice. He pointed at a quill that had broken in two and shook his head.
"It broke when I wasn't careful!" Cheng Chumo threw the quill in front of Meton with a look of disgust.
"What about yours?" Meton looked at his treasure with a pained expression, hoping that Qin Huaiyu would be merciful.
"Uh! I want to know how he can write! "
Qin Huaiyu awkwardly took out a quill that had broken in two!
Meton was speechless. Expecting these careless and strong men to write with a quill was as difficult as asking them to do embroidery.
"Oh right, have you bought the shop that I asked you to buy?" Meton asked.
"Don't worry, we paid for it. We bought it yesterday. This is the title deed. A total of eight thousand taels. Everything from the shop to the big house behind it is ours!" Qin Huaiyu took out a title deed and placed it in front of Meton.
"Opposite the Imperial College?" Meton raised an eyebrow and looked at the three of them in surprise.
"Don't tell me the three of you chose this place because you wanted to freeload on food and drinks?"
"Cough, cough, cough! How is that possible! " Qin Huaiyu awkwardly waved his hand and said, "It's not the location you asked for. It must be a good location. This is the best one. Think about how many students there are in the Imperial College. It's surrounded by bustling areas with a lot of people. I used all my connections to get this place, and it's big enough."
Meton thought about it carefully. Opposite the Imperial College was indeed a bustling area with a lot of people!
Modun thought for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction. "Alright! Here it is! It can solve the problem of three meals and save us the trouble of eating pig food in the cafeteria! "
"Haha, that's what I said!" Yuchi Baolin laughed loudly.
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo stared awkwardly at this idiot. Even if he thought so, he couldn't say it out loud! Wasn't this slapping his own face?!
"That place has been chosen. I'm just not sure how the business is going." Qin Huaiyu said.
Meton looked at the three of them and knew what they were worried about. After all, five thousand taels was not a small amount. If they were to squander it, it would be enough for them to feel heartache for half a year.
"You guys came at the right time. Today's experiment is successful. You guys are lucky!" Meton smiled.
"That's great ….." The three of them were all smiles when they heard about the delicacies.
In the Mo Residence's kitchen, white steam was rolling, mixed with a burst of fragrance. The three of them who were standing at the door were drooling. This smell was delicious!
"Young Master, it's ready!"
Zi Yi instructed Tie An and Mo Yi to bring out a huge steamer basket. The steamer was filled with steaming and fragrant buns.
"Isn't this a steamed biscuit?" Qin Huaiyu curiously wanted to take a look but he was scalded by the steam and cried out.
"This is much whiter than a steamed biscuit and it's round." Cheng Chumo saw the difference. In this era, the yeast was not mature and the steamed biscuits were yellow. The white bread was still a legend.
"Very fragrant, it will definitely be delicious!" Yuchi Baolin said while drooling.
"This is not a steamed biscuit, it's a bun!" Modun took the chopsticks from Zi Yi. He blew on one of the chopsticks at the edge, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Steaming hot buns were the best. Furthermore, the pork and scallion buns were even more fragrant. Meton showed an expression of enjoyment. After coming to the Tang dynasty, he was once again enjoying the familiar taste.
"Phew! It's so delicious! "The three of them imitated Meton and ate with gusto.
… … …
The three of them were indeed worthy of the Imperial College's title of Rice Bucket. The steamer full of buns was quickly devoured by the three of them.
"That's right, such delicious food. No wonder you said that the Imperial College's food is pig food." Qin Huaiyu rubbed his round tummy and said with satisfaction.
"Such delicious food, I will eat it every day from now on!" Cheng Chumo made a huge decision.
"Why aren't you eating?" Yuchi Baolin burped and swallowed the last mouthful of the bun as he looked at Meton.
"Because there's something even more delicious to come!" Meton revealed a sly smile.
"These are Soup Dumplings!" Mo Dun pointed at the steamer basket that Mo Er had brought out, which was obviously one size smaller. He picked up a small steamed bun and started eating. A different fragrance filled the taste buds of the three of them.
"These are Soup Dumplings!" Mo Wu's skinny body brought out the smallest steamer.
The three of them looked at Meton who was enjoying the delicacies and felt tormented because they could not eat anymore.
"What do you think of this delicacies business?" Meton asked.
"It's one of a kind. It will definitely make a lot of money!" Qin Huaiyu said with satisfaction.
"But once we launch it, there will definitely be others who can imitate us. I don't think these dumplings are complicated!" Cheng Chumo was also optimistic about this business and could see the worries in it.
"And the more we sell, the more money we can make!" Yuchi Baolin was more concerned about making money.
Meton thought for a while and said, "Firstly, our biggest advantage is our noodles. Our noodles are snow-white and fragrant. This is the unique skill of our Mo Family. Other families don't have it!"
"Secondly, these steamers can be stacked. At least ten steamers of dumplings can be made at once. This is something that other shops can't imitate."
In the kitchen, the thick steam had dissipated, revealing the stacks of steamers. The three of them nodded with satisfaction. Mo Jiazi was indeed reliable and had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Thirdly, this is only one of the delicacies in this delicacies business. After that, there will be other delicacies gradually introduced! "Meton thought of the dazzling snacks in the future and was not worried that the delicacies business would not be good.
"There are other delicacies!" The three of them were pleasantly surprised. They thought that just the dumplings alone were worth the money. They did not expect there to be other surprises.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I ask you to buy such a big shop?" Meton nodded.
"But these can only maintain our advantage for a while! We can make a lot of money in a short time, but in the long run, these advantages will be overtaken by other imitators! "Meton poured cold water on them.
"Then what should we do?" The three of them panicked. They originally wanted a long-term business, but they did not expect that they could only make quick money.
"The only way is to establish a brand and show that we are the founders of the dumplings. Only our dumplings are authentic and taste the best. After we make money, we will immediately open branches in Chang 'an City. There will be one at the West City Gate, East City Gate, and South City Gate. Then, we will open another branch in each county of Chang' an City. After that, we will open branches in Luoyang, Kaifeng, and even the entire Tang dynasty. In this way, as long as we don't do anything stupid and ruin our reputation, no one will be able to threaten our position. "
Meton's super big picture was so heavy that the three of them were seeing stars.
"The entire Tang dynasty will eat our dumplings. How big of a business will this be!" Yuchi Baolin muttered to himself.
"Then we must have a domineering name that will shock the entire Tang dynasty!" Cheng Chumo said heroically.
"Ahem!" Meton said embarrassedly, "I have a name for that. It will be called Goubuli Dumplings!"
