Chapter 215: Efforts to Open Source
"Ah, tea eggs?" Jiang Hongxia didn't understand what Lan Xin said for a moment. Finally, she asked in confusion: "What is this tea egg, is it tea or egg?"
"Tea eggs are eggs that I cook using tea leaves using a special secret recipe. They have a slight tea flavor and a fragrant aroma. They can be sold as breakfast or as a snack." Lan Xin explained.
Lan Xin had already thought of a good idea. Almost every breakfast shop and steamed bun shop in later generations sold tea eggs, and the taste was similar. Lan Xin originally thought that the breakfast shops added ingredients to the leftover boiled eggs from the previous day and cooked them again to sell as tea eggs.
But when she asked a familiar bun shop one day, she found out that tea eggs could be wholesaled. There was a special factory that cooked the tea eggs, and they were delivered to breakfast shops one by one in the early morning of the next day.
At that time, Lan Xin also asked: Since we are going to steam the buns anyway, why not boil the tea eggs at the same time? It’s not complicated.
The other party smiled and replied to her that they sold hundreds of tea eggs every day, so they didn't have the time to cook them all. It only took ten minutes to steam the buns, and boiled eggs could be put directly into the pot to cook together, but the tea eggs had to be simmered slowly to make them tasty. The wholesale ones were not expensive, and the taste was stable, and there was no difference from what they cooked themselves, so why should they spend time and money to cook them themselves?
She can learn this model now and directly outsource the tea eggs, and wholesale the freshly cooked tea eggs to breakfast shops and convenience stores every morning. In fact, this is no different from Lan Yingjie and others selling them themselves.
Now it is very convenient to cook tea eggs. Lan Xin can just prepare the ingredients, wrap them in gauze, and cook them directly. Then she can ask two more people to cook together. In this city or province, maybe she will have to rent or buy a house in the city.
Thinking of the 200,000 yuan loan that she would soon have to bear, Lan Xin sighed silently in her heart, and felt that she still had to make good money and work hard to increase her income!
When Xie Yaozu, who was standing by, heard Lan Xin mention tea eggs, his mouth immediately began to water. His stomach, which had just been filled, began to feel empty again, so he quickly followed suit.
"Sister Hongxia, you don't know that Sister Lanxin's tea eggs are delicious. I ate four or five in a row and didn't get tired of them. She sells tea eggs every day. She sells more than a dozen boxes a day just with soda, not to mention tea eggs. You can definitely make money by selling them."
"Is this true?"
Although Xie Yaozu's words were very touching, Jiang Hongxia was not so easily convinced. She looked at her husband hesitantly.
Why are these tea eggs really so popular? Eggs are not cheap, even in the city they are expensive. Is there really anyone willing to eat these boiled tea eggs for breakfast or snacks?
"Why would I lie to you? This tea egg is so unforgettable. If it weren't too far away, I would want to eat it three times a day." Xie Yaozu said exaggeratedly.
But thinking about the group purchase of vegetables from this family, he would have to go to Lanjia Village every day, so he could eat tea eggs every day. Thinking of this, Xie Yaozu showed a greedy smile on his face and almost drooled.
Xie Shaowu on the side nodded to indicate that what Xie Yaozu said was not an exaggeration. He was the supplier of soda to Lan Xin's family, so of course he knew how many boxes of soda her family could sell in a day. This was much better than what many stores in the city could sell.
Lan Xin also knew that her words were not convincing, so she smiled and said, "Anyway, I have to come to the city this afternoon. I'll bring some tea eggs for you to try. After you try them, we can consider other things."
Lan Xin was very confident in her tea eggs, so Jiang Hongxia of course agreed.
Anyway, her shop is here, and she stays here every day, selling whatever she wants. Now that Xie Yaozu said that these tea eggs are so fragrant and sell well, of course Jiang Hongxia wants to make money from them.
Seeing that it was getting late, the few of them stopped chatting. After packing up their things, Lan Xin and the others got in the car. Xie Shaowu and a few others started the tractor, and the three of them left to find something to eat.
Originally, I wanted to take Jiang Hongxia's family to eat together, but Jiang Hongxia refused to go, so the three of us had no choice but to go eat by ourselves.
Their stomachs were growling with hunger, so they didn't choose a place to go. They just found a newly opened private restaurant to have lunch, and then drove back to Lanjia Village.
In the morning, Lan Xin called back to Lanjia Village and told them to continue picking more than 100 kilograms of beans and bundle them up one by one. She didn't know how the situation was going.
The tractor continued to come in from the road at the end of the village. Lan Xin jumped out of the car and took a look. Looking at the empty yard, her heart suddenly sank.
No way, could it be that the person who answered the phone didn't convey the message, so no one prepared the beans.
Lan Xin suddenly felt that the whole sky around her had become dark.
She walked into the courtyard with a look of despair. It took a long time to get back to Lanjia Village from the city. It was already past one o'clock and almost two o'clock when Lan Xin and the others returned. Ma Cuihua came to work early after lunch.
When she heard the voice and came out of the kitchen, she was startled when she saw Lan Xin looking listless. She wiped her hands quickly and walked over to her and said, "Lan Xin, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Ma Cuihua supported Lan Xin and saw that she didn't say anything. She then looked at Xie Shaowu and his nephew who got off the car behind her. However, the man was careless and couldn't understand Ma Cuihua's question. They also asked with doubts on their faces.
"What about the beans?"
"Where's the 100 kilograms of beans you asked for this morning?"
The two of them felt the same pang in their hearts as Lan Xin, thinking that something had gone wrong, resulting in the 100 kilograms of beans not being prepared.
Seeing Lan Xin, who had been the first to enter the house excitedly, become so dejected, could it be true? They also felt powerless.
When she heard about beans, Ma Cuihua raised her head and said sharply, "The beans have been picked and are now at Uncle Yong's house, over at the old house."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xin came alive. She immediately stood up straight with a bright look in her eyes: "Did you really pick it? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Ma Cuihua also understood what the three people's expressions just now meant. She couldn't help but said with a smile: "Why would I lie to you? It was already past ten o'clock when you called back. When the villagers heard it, they rushed to pick beans. But the sun was so hot that there was no place to put the things in your yard, so they moved them to your parents' house. There is a thatched shed there, which can just block the sun."
"Otherwise, I'll leave them here at your house. When you come back, the beans will be ripe."
Lan Xin and the other two felt embarrassed after hearing this. They thought too much. No, they didn't think so much. They panicked when they saw the empty yard and didn't think about the actual situation.
Thinking of the beans and the crowded situation in the morning, the three of them were excited to run to Lao Lan's house. Before Lan Xin left, she did not forget to ask Ma Cuihua to save some tea eggs for her.
