Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to talk about Shen Mingyuan's problem, but took some of the melon seeds he fried and put it on the table, and took out an oiled paper bag from her pocket, which also contained sunflower seeds and put it on the table .
"I'll talk about whether this stuff makes money later. You see, you fried it. The oily paper bag is what I just bought from the market. Try it to see the difference in taste."
Shen Mingyuan looked hesitantly at the two kinds of melon seeds, and there seemed to be no difference on the surface. He took the melon seeds in his hand and squeezed the skin of the melon seeds.
Knocking kernels in the mouth, the taste is very obvious this time. The melon seeds bought by the second sister-in-law did not have the smell of ash from the bottom of the pot, but the ones he fried did.
Moreover, the melon seeds bought in the market are more delicious than the fried ones of the old man, and they are much better than my own melon seeds. With such good products, it is no wonder that my own melon seeds cannot be sold.
"Second sister-in-law, the one you bought is really delicious, I feel ashamed."
Chen Yuan nodded, thinking that it must be, she chose the best tasting melon seeds from several kinds. But this melon seed still hasn't reached the top level feeling, it's enough for Shen Mingyuan to be an experiment.
"Now you know why your melon seeds are not easy to sell. Of course there is a reason. Besides, melon seeds are not a daily food necessity. Customers can eat them or not. If they don't taste good, they won't eat them. Would not buy either."
Shen Mingyuan felt that what Chen Yuan said was very reasonable, and he immediately understood why his melon seeds lost money. The melon seeds were just trivial snacks, and they didn't even rank among the many foods. They wanted to sell them as hot items Easier said than done
"Look at your melon seeds. The black ash on them has not been processed. This affects the taste too much. If you want to improve the taste, you must first work hard on the taste experience."
"Then I'll get rid of the black ash right away."
As Shen Mingyuan said, he was about to get busy, and Chen Yuan hurriedly stopped him: "It's too late to deal with the ripe melon seeds, and this alone is not enough, no matter how delicious you make it, there are melon seeds sold all over the street, and it's not enough. may stand out, so we will use the formula to adjust the taste of melon seeds."
When Shen Mingyuan heard this, he couldn't believe it. Even though he knew that Chen Yuan's cooking skills were good, he had never heard that melon seeds can be used to adjust the taste every day.
"Second sister-in-law, is what you said true? Then how to prepare it? Is it really delicious?"
Chen Yuan stated her purpose: "So this is the key to my cooperation with you. I invest the capital and you purchase it, and I make the formula and you are responsible for selling it. We earn 50-50% of the money."
Shen Mingyuan was about to agree at first, but when he heard the ratio of the last sentence, he immediately shook his head and refused: "How can this be done? This ratio is not worth it to you at all. I just made an effort. The actual core steps are all yours." Thoughts, even if we want to cooperate, we have to give you more proportion.”
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "You're not right. No matter what part of a business goes wrong, it won't succeed. Even if my formula tastes good, if you don't actually operate it, then It’s also just talking on paper, so your work is also very important, and I will give you half of the share, which is what you should take, and if you really can’t think about it, you can also invest the principal in it, so it’s okay.”
After hearing these words, Shen Mingyuan deeply felt that the second sister-in-law was really different from ordinary people. No one had ever told him that his importance had always been ignored by others.
Although he is not convinced, but because of some experiences, he has long been used to such thoughts, and now he is suddenly affirmed by others, and his heart is extremely moved.
Chatting with the second sister-in-law, in her mind, she is an ordinary person, no different from other people, how difficult this is for herself.
Shen Mingyuan was very grateful to the second sister-in-law for treating him like an ordinary person, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Second sister-in-law, I will listen to you."
"Then you will buy back all the raw materials according to the formula I gave you."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, she handed over the list she had prepared to Shen Mingyuan and gave him a sum of money.
Shen Mingyuan was really surprised when he saw the above content. Would it really be delicious to season with these kinds of things? Moreover, all these materials are very expensive. Is it really possible to make money back
With this kind of worry, I bought everything back. The first step is to wash the melon seeds in water and soak them in clean water.
Shen Mingyuan didn't expect that the melon seeds would have to go through the water, and he fried them directly without any treatment at all. It seems that frying melon seeds is not a small skill.
Chen Yuan mixes the seasoning for pickled melon seeds. She wants to make creamy and fragrant melon seeds, which taste salty and sweet, and have a thick taste in the mouth.
Creamy melon seeds are not actually made of cream, but are made of various aniseed powder and vanilla powder. These parts of the materials are used by the processing factory to make ice cream. It took a long time before they were sold in the wholesale city. If you find it, and you want a creamy taste, the main thing is to highlight the thick and sweet taste. Adding melon seeds is already very fragrant.
Although Shen Mingyuan had never tasted butter, he could imagine it was very sweet, but the ingredients in this formula had nothing to do with cream, and he didn't know how the second sister-in-law could make a creamy taste.
Chen Yuan prepared the creamy flavored water, put the melon seeds into the water for cooking, turned off the heat after about ten minutes, and started to make a flavor, jasmine flavored melon seeds. The cooked jasmine tea is added with seasonings such as sugar, and it is boiled first and then soaked in the same way as before.
The jasmine-flavored melon seeds have a special fragrance. I used jasmine tea and dried jasmine flowers, and the whole room seemed to have been sprinkled with perfume, which smelled very good.
The faint fragrance makes people want to taste it. What is the taste of this melon seed
Shen Mingyuan felt that he was overwhelmed by the fragrance of the melon seeds before he tasted them. If these melon seeds were put on the street, they would attract everyone's attention without shouting at all, and they would definitely attract customers.
Chen Yuan thought so too. After all, she just started making melon seeds, and she has to see results. She has recipes for hundreds of flavors of melon seeds, but if she wants to attract people's attention, she must not only taste good, but also have a strong fragrance.
Using the cheapest jasmine tea to cook melon seeds can not only control the cost of raw materials, but also achieve the taste you want. This taste is also an advantage to attract customers.
It didn't take long for Chen Yuan to cook 20 catties of melon seeds, which happened to be the unfinished stock of Shen Mingyuan before, and asked the other party to soak these melon seeds for a day before frying them, and put them in a cool place and pay attention to ventilation.
After Chen Yuan left, Shen Mingyuan stared at the two large barrels of fragrant melon seeds in the room in a daze, asked about the fragrance of jasmine still remaining in the air, and felt a little more anticipation for the melon seeds business in his heart.
The second sister-in-law's method is different from his. If she changed it to herself, she would never have imagined that there are creamy and jasmine-flavored melon seeds.
But when he thought about it, he felt that he had never seen it before, and no one else had seen such a smell. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt quite proud.
Perhaps Shen Mingyuan also felt that he was a bit special than others for this unique sweet melon seed.
In the evening of the next day, all the melon seeds were pickled, and Shen Huai also came over. He took the initiative to follow and help stir-fry the melon seeds. He couldn't help with technology, but he did have strength, and this job was most suitable for him.
Shen Huai took off his shirt and only wore a white hurdle vest. He took a shovel and turned over the melon seeds in the pot at a constant speed. In fact, it would be more convenient and easier to make them if there was a toaster, but the cost would be too high It can only be cooked slowly with a low fire, and the taste will be similar.
While he kept tossing the melon seeds, his forearm was driven by his forearm, and the muscles on his arm formed a perfect line. The male hormones were bursting, and he had a wild beauty, and his figure was very good. He was absolutely beautiful, seductive, and tempting.
Chen Yuan looked at Shen Huai's tendons in admiration, and felt that his strength must be very strong. This is really inferior, so give him a thumbs up.
And after his own guidance, Shen Huai's posture for frying melon seeds is very standard, neither fast nor slow, unlike Shen Mingyuan who used a shovel before and just randomly stirred in the pot.
In that way, it has no benefit except that the skin of the melon seeds will become drier and the black ash will fall down and affect the taste.
Shen Mingyuan was also studying carefully at the side. He felt that he was really a headless fly before. He didn't understand the rules at all, and he hated selling for less than two catties. Now thinking about it, two catties is already a very good sales volume. It's bad luck. It may not be sold for a catty.
As for the price of the melon seeds, Chen Yuan also made up her mind. It is still 10 cents per cup, but the glass for weighing should be one size smaller, so that customers will not feel that the price has increased, let alone How expensive it is, I thought I could spend the same money to taste something fresh, the capacity of the small glass is only a little less, but I can’t see it unless I look carefully.
After hearing the price set by Chen Yuan, Shen Mingyuan simply lamented that his sister-in-law is really too smart. He originally thought that if the taste was changed and so many raw materials were added, then the selling price might not make money if the selling price was not increased.
Now the unit price has not changed, but the quantity has changed, and the cost is still the same as before, and customers will not be aware of the change. It can be said that it is a perfect solution to kill two birds with one stone.
Shen Mingyuan became excited, took the initiative to take Shen Huai's shovel and said, "Brother, you take a break, and I'll do the rest."
"Well, don't go too fast, be careful with your movements, and pay attention to the essentials taught by your sister-in-law."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."
Shen Huai looked at Shen Mingyuan's stir-fried melon seeds for a while before he felt relieved, took a towel and wiped off the sweat on his body, turned his head and saw Chen Yuan seemed to be writing something in the notebook with a pen.
He walked over to have a look.
"The address and business hours of Wucheng's famous cultural palace, several dance halls, repertory theaters, game halls, cinemas, adult night schools, and the Sanba Fertilizer Factory."
Shen Huai now admires Chen Yuan's meticulousness and caring from the bottom of his heart. These places are all places for evening activities. Take the Cultural Palace as an example. Many people go here to enrich their spare time after work. There are many Actors used to be ordinary working people. With an activity center like the Cultural Palace, many people learned their specialties through learning dance, vocal music, calligraphy and painting, and Go to improve their ability to complete counterattacks.
Therefore, places like the Cultural Palace will be overcrowded after every night, and those people can become their main customer targets.
As for dance halls and game halls, which are emerging entertainment industries, the flow of people inside should not be underestimated. Movie theaters and drama theaters have productions released every week, and many young couples will buy tickets to watch them.
Imagine watching a movie while knocking melon seeds. Not only will the spirit be relieved, but the taste will also be enjoyed. This is the home of selling melon seeds.
Adult night schools also have a high frequency of activities at night, and workers in the fertilizer factory often work overtime. Anyway, although these two are not as good as the previous ones, you can still go to get melon seeds for trial operation. It is simply too important.
I don't know how long Chen Yuan has been preparing for it. Some very small things have also been written, such as when the cultural palace will not open, the fertilizer factory will not work overtime, and the movie theater will not show movies on weekdays. She must have asked one by one. Get such precise information.
Shen Huaijue himself was not as careful as Chen Yuan, even if he wanted to teach Shen Mingyuan the secret recipe, at most he would give an outline of the process, it was absolutely impossible to be so attentive.
He could feel that Chen Yuan was really thinking about Shen Mingyuan, and she and her third brother were not related, so even if she agreed to help him, she didn't have to be so careful.
But now that Chen Yuan has achieved this level, Shen Huai would be deceiving herself if she said she was not moved. She is really a good person, so good that people want to keep getting closer.
When Shen Huai was in a trance, Shen Mingyuan's melon seeds had already been fried, and he invited everyone to taste the melon seeds. He couldn't wait to try them for this moment.
Especially the flavor of jasmine, after frying, the taste is more intense, it is estimated that the whole yard is full of flowers.
Chen Yuan took a handful and knocked it up, nodding secretly in her heart, this is a qualified melon seed, the ones she ate before were not very good.
Shen Huai and Shen Mingyuan tried this flavor for the first time, and they were quickly conquered by the salty and sweet taste of butter. They couldn't stop their mouths. She stopped.
There are also jasmine-flavored melon seeds that completely amazed them, especially Shen Huai who often drink jasmine tea. This taste is very familiar, but it is the first time to eat jasmine melon seeds. The sweet taste is paired with melon seeds. The original nutty aroma is simply a wonderful perfect fusion, it is really delicious.
After eating, I wanted to catch it again, but Chen Yuan refused to let me eat it, saying that the two kinds added up to only 20 catties, so how can I sell it after eating it.
Shen Huai secretly had the urge to spend money to eat melon seeds, but as soon as he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing, because no matter who tasted this melon seeds, he would be willing to spend money for it.
Shen Mingyuan got the target list given by Chen Yuan, and the first sales venue was locked at the open-air cinema. He had to go to work during the day, so he could only come out to sell melon seeds at night. It happened that the cinema showed a new movie the next night, so he found it an hour in advance. The location is ready to start selling melon seeds when there are many people.
However, when Shen Mingyuan saw the old man who was walking with him that day, he also came with his melon seeds on his back. He thought that this old man must have sold his experience. Just found here.
In fact, Shen Mingyuan didn't grow up like a normal child, and he had very little contact with these things. He knew to go to work honestly before, and he didn't dare to have other thoughts at all, let alone any entertainment activities. I dare not even think about it.
The movie theater has opened, and people have already entered one after another. Shen Mingyuan looked at the lively threshold, but he didn't know what it looked like inside, whether the movie was good or not, these people really know how to entertain, and it's nice to have money to enjoy life.
Thinking of him, I felt a little envious, wondering if I would have the opportunity to watch movies inside in the future.
Shen Mingyuan didn't feel sad for too long, because a passerby had already smelled the scent of melon seeds and asked in front of him. "Are these melon seeds? Why are they so fragrant?"
"Yes, this is the melon seeds of jasmine tea and the creamy melon seeds, which taste very delicious."
"What? It also smells like jasmine and cream."
Passers-by were very surprised when they heard it. Although they saw Shen Mingyuan's appearance was a bit weird, they couldn't hold back their curiosity. After all, they had never heard of this smell before, and they suddenly saw it was very fresh. The clear fragrance is very comfortable, and I am very curious about this taste at the moment: "How much is it, let me taste it."
"A cup for a dime." "Give me two cups."
"No problem." Shen Mingyuan happily got up and filled the other party with melon seeds, thinking that this would open the business, it seemed quite easy, his voice was almost hoarse compared to the last time he was in the night market, and there was no one there.
Out of the corner of the eye, he glanced at the old man next door. The business on the other side was a bit cold, and he didn't sell any of them.
Afterwards, during the first half hour of the movie screening, Shen Mingyuan's melon seeds stand was already crowded with people. After one person took a bite of creamy melon seeds, he suddenly bought two catties without hesitation. Others heard that person's mouth Shouted: "It's so good, it's so delicious."
The word "delicious" seems to have turned on some switch. People who watched the movie began to rush to buy melon seeds. After the movie started, the 10 catties of melon seeds brought by Shen Mingyuan were almost sold out. The amount of money is a little weak, I feel that the money is too easy to earn, and it feels a little unreal.
The old man on the opposite side was dumbfounded, and the unbelievers also came to buy a cup of melon seeds. He was very angry at first, because he didn't expect that there was a young man who came to grab business today, and he looked stupid and smart.
He thought about not caring about the handicapped, so he put up with it, and he was always in the melon seed business, and he had regular customers every day, and the other party's business would never be able to compete with him.
But who knew that this young man would come up with something creamy and jasmine scented. It was the first time he had heard of it after living for dozens of years. This kind of smell is very weird. Can it be delicious
The old man thought that it must be a strange taste and would not be delicious, but they sold it very quickly, and the business was so good that he was jealous.
He felt that he was being provoked, and angrily stepped forward to buy a small cup, and with sharp eyes, he found that the glass was much smaller than his own weighing cup.
"Young man, why is your cup so small, and you sell it for ten cents, it's too expensive."
Shen Mingyuan took a look at the old man, thinking that although his cup was small, he didn't put his finger in it, and the customer liked his melon seeds, which meant that the other party was really cutting corners.
"At this price, do you still want to buy it?" Anyway, after the movie theater ends, there will be no more melon seeds left.
