"It must be miserable." Lin Shu said without thinking.
"I will disappoint you." Li Siwen pursed his lips and smiled: "Just like Feng Yuhui."
Lin Shu was startled for a moment, and then he laughed: "I didn't expect this old guy to move so fast and start making trouble before the business started. But the boss has let out a bad breath today. I can see it from a long distance."
Qing Feng Yuhui’s face looks like his mother’s death.”
"I finally understand why you bought so much ham. It turned out that you had expected what would happen today." Lin Shu did not hide his admiration, but said with some worry: "It's just that you used Yangdu ham to replace Wu."
Although meat ham can solve urgent needs, what should we do in the future? Do we really want to make meatless ham?"
"Yes, we will not only make meatless ham, but the taste will be almost the same as Yangdu ham." Li Siwen replied affirmatively.
"Brother Wen, is this impossible? Without meat, there is no meaty taste at all. How can it taste the same as Yangdu ham sausage?" Chang Hai said on the side.
"Chang Hai knows it's impossible." Lin Shu shrugged.
"It's nothing impossible. In a few decades you will know that people prefer seasonings to staple foods." Li Siwen said seriously.
His words are not exaggerated at all. Decades later, whether it is mainstream meals such as hot pot or barbecue, the role of seasonings has been far greater than that of staple food.
Of course, how could Chang Hai and Lin Shu understand at this time, so they could only stare at each other with big eyes and small eyes, feeling that Li Siwen was dreaming again.
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the end of Huanghe West Road, which is also on the edge of the city. A small chicken essence processing factory is located here.
"What is chicken essence?" Chang Hai was obviously stunned when he looked at the name of the processing factory.
"I've heard that it seems to be the same as MSG." Lin Shu was not sure.
"This chicken essence is a good thing. To put it simply, it is a seasoning made by grinding chicken and chicken bones into powder, and then mixing it with MSG, salt and other seasonings. Not only does it taste more delicious than MSG, but it also has a unique flavor when cooking.
It smells faintly of chicken." Li Siwen explained.
"Hey, it seems that this boss knows a lot about chicken essence!" A rich voice suddenly appeared, and a man walked out of the factory.
Li Siwen looked at the other person. The man was about forty years old, a little fat, wearing a white work cap on his head and work clothes on his body.
"Are you a staff member here?" Li Siwen asked politely.
"I am the owner of this processing factory, what can I do for you?" The man looked at Li Siwen and asked.
"It turns out it's the boss. I'm glad to meet you." Li Siwen stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, and then said: "I want to discuss a business with you. By the way, how much does a pound of chicken essence cost?"
"In retail, it's three yuan per pound, but wholesale is cheaper," the man replied.
"Damn, this is too expensive. It's several cents more expensive than MSG." Chang Hai said unconsciously.
"Didn't you listen to what this brother just said? Chicken essence is much better than MSG. Not only is it delicious, but it also has a chicken flavor, and the process is more complicated than MSG. Most people in big cities eat this, and there are no people who eat MSG.
The man snorted: "You country bumpkin can't understand it at first sight."
"Why do you speak so harshly?" Chang Hai was a little unhappy.
"Okay Chang Hai, I'll talk to him." Li Siwen patted Chang Hai, then looked at the man and said, "What do you call brother?"
"My surname is Jiang, you can just call me Big Fat Jiang." Big Fat Jiang said.
"I'd better call you Brother Jiang!" Li Siwen smiled slightly and said politely: "Actually, what Brother Jiang just said makes sense. Chicken essence has many advantages and is very popular in big cities, but that's where the problem arises.
"
"What's the problem?" Jiang Dapang asked curiously.
"If I remember correctly, in the early 1970s, this kind of chicken essence was first popular in Japan, and later gradually appeared in developed areas such as Switzerland, South Korea, and Hong Kong. With the reform and opening up, some big cities in China also began to introduce this kind of chicken essence.
Seasoning. However, although chicken essence has a history of more than ten years and does have many advantages, it has never been able to enter thousands of households. To put it bluntly, small cities like us are too backward and do not recognize this kind of thing."
Li Siwen said slowly.
Listening to Li Siwen's talk, Big Fatty Jiang was a little surprised, nodded and praised: "Well said, I have met an expert today. Brother, your analysis makes sense. This small city is not only economically backward, but also
Their thinking is also inferior to that of big cities, and it is difficult for them to agree with new things."
"So if you open a chicken essence processing factory in a place like Caozhou, there is only one outcome: bankruptcy. Otherwise, there is no need to post a redemption message on your door." Li Siwen glanced behind Jiang Dapang.
Big Fatty Jiang was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Hey, it's hard to explain. I really can't do it anymore. The sales of chicken essence here are so bad."
"Since the sales are so poor, do you still have the nerve to sell it for three yuan per catty?" Li Siwen laughed teasingly.
Big Fatty Jiang took a breath and said after a while: "Brother, you talked so much just to bargain, right?"
Chang Hai and Lin Shu also exhaled as if they were suddenly enlightened. They had to admire Li Siwen's mouth, he could speak so eloquently even when negotiating prices.
Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Hong Kong, and other places so far away have all been moved here. The most important thing is that Big Fatty Jiang really knows how to believe them.
The two of them thought that Li Siwen was deceiving, but in fact, everything he said was true. What made them even more unbelievable was what Li Siwen said next.
"I'm not bargaining, I'm here to save you." Li Siwen said softly.
"Save me?" Jiang Dapang was confused.
"That's right, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I will revive your processing factory from now on." Li Siwen pursed his lips confidently: "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Li Siwen, the director of the Xiyou Ham Factory processing factory.
"
"Are you the director of the Westward Journey Ham Sausage Processing Factory?" Big Fatty Jiang was shocked.
"What? Do you know me?" Li Siwen didn't expect that he would become a celebrity.
"I don't know you, I just saw the advertisement for your processing plant in the newspaper my son brought back. At that time, I was thinking, who would come up with such a silly name, haha." Big Fatty Jiang laughed, and suddenly
Realizing something, he quickly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you, it's just that the name is too funny."
After Jiang Dafang finished speaking, he added: "But my son likes the name of your factory very much, and he also said that he wants to buy the ham from your factory."
