Military Marriage: Boss, my sister-in-law got beaten up again

Chapter 926 Noodle Business

"I want you to help me taste it. Eat two bites first and then I'll add more condiments. Here are the side dishes." Gu Yao said, opening the small bowl next to her.

Tan Xiaomei then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try it."

She picked up a strand of noodles with chopsticks and looked at the noodles in her hand. They were different from what she ate at home.

It tastes more delicate and delicious than the one made by their own chef at home.

Her eyes lit up. It was plain noodles. It was more delicious than any other plain noodles she had eaten.

She took a few big bites and then said, "How come it tastes better than my noodles? It tastes different from the plain noodles I've had before. The noodles are so thin and the texture is better. It's really delicious."

Tan Xiaomei narrowed her eyes and felt very happy.

"Try it. This method is different. It is very suitable for long-distance use. If you like it, I will give you some and let your uncle take it with him to try when he goes on the escort mission." Gu Yao wanted to take the first step from them.

As long as there is demand, these noodles will sell very well.

"What are you talking about? These are made of real refined white flour. I have to spend money to buy them. There is still a long time in the future, so I will buy more. Do you have any other grains here? Refined white flour is too expensive to eat for a long time. Do you have any other kind?" Tan Xiaomei had thought it through. If the price could really be cheaper and noodles could be made with flour from whole grains, their cost would be low and the escort agency would be able to afford them.

"Look, we two sisters have the same idea. Today we are going to make a batch of corn flour and sweet potato flour. The cost is relatively low. Even people who are traveling long distances can afford it. The price is definitely not expensive." Gu Yao smiled.

The corners of her mouth turned up.

Now we need to buy a lot of sweet potatoes to make sweet potato vermicelli.

Sweet potato flour mixed with water is not only filling but also relatively low in cost.

"Aren't sweet potatoes eaten directly? If you eat too much of that, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. The people in our escort agency will only carry a small amount of sweet potatoes on the road for emergency use. They won't eat it for a long time. Escorts will lose strength if they eat it for a long time." Tan Xiaomei said curiously.

"I guarantee that they won't feel uncomfortable eating it. I'm talking about sweet potato flour. It's dried and must be easy to store. It won't taste uncomfortable. There are sweet potato flour, refined white noodles, and corn flour. It's determined according to needs." Gu Yao said seriously.

The escort agency is just the first step for Gu Yao to open up the market. Even if she doesn’t want noodles, she still has other ways.

There are so many wealthy people in the capital, and so many merchants traveling back and forth from the north.

Gu Yao doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell this thing.

Her backyard is now huge.

This backyard is perfect for drying clothes.

Gu Yao thought about it and felt that this yard was really worth buying.

It can meet all her needs temporarily.

"As you said, if the price can be lowered, then I think you can sell as much as you can make, and you will definitely make a lot of money. Look, can I get involved in this business?" Tan Xiaomei was also considering the long-term order for her family's escort agency, and it would definitely be cheaper.

"Do you really want to get involved?" Gu Yao has no acquaintances in the capital city now, but Tan Xiaomei is relatively familiar to her.

It was because she saved their lives that people were so nice to her.

Whether she is doing business or interacting with the Beijing network in the future, Tan Xiaomei is indispensable. With her around, she can save a lot of trouble.

"If you want to get involved, that's great. I welcome you very much. This way I can save a lot of trouble. The price of sweet potatoes is not low now. There are many refugees from outside the city who have come to the capital. The price of grain this year is higher than before. Let's start slowly this year. If the business is good, we will start to expand it slowly next year. This business is hard-earned money, not like jewelry, which makes money so quickly!"

Gu Yao was worried that the kid wanted to make money, so he worked with her.

"Sister, what do you think of me? Of course I know that as long as this business is established, we will not make much money in a short period of time. The grain business itself is a long-term business. What we want are long-term customers. I know this. I have two shops my mother gave me, and I am also running them. The business is pretty good, and I can make money every month." Tan Xiaomei is very confident in her shop.

This is because she knows how to run a business, so she can do so well. Other young ladies who run shops are not as good as her. Some of them lose money and have to make up for it themselves. Compared to others, she is still very proud of herself.

"Well, then you can participate. I can only give you 20% of the shares in this business. You can take out one thousand taels of silver to invest. What do you think?" Gu Yao knew that as long as this business was successful, the wealth in the future would be limitless.

Everyone else was shocked. What kind of business would cost one thousand taels? Sweet potato and cornmeal were very cheap.

Tan Xiaomei wanted to agree immediately. She had some silver in her hand, so one thousand taels would be no problem.

Over the past ten years, she had saved a considerable amount of money.

The maid next to her pulled the young lady and said, "Young lady, do you want to discuss this with the master? This one thousand taels is not a small amount."

The little maid whispered in front of Tan Xiaomei.

"I'm almost an adult, and I've told my father everything. He has never interfered in my business affairs. I do whatever I want to do. Don't say anything more." Tan Xiaomei's face darkened.

This little maid Xiangyu is an old servant in the mansion. Considering that she is still loyal, Tan Xiaomei did not say much.

Gu Yao fiddled with the tea lid with her hands and smiled at Tan Xiaomei: "Don't worry, take your time. What I'm doing now is a long-term business. For now, I own 60%, and the remaining 40% will be reserved for you if you want it."

"I think, if my sister approves of something, then the business will definitely be good. As long as this thing doesn't get moldy and can be stored for a long time, there will be a lot of people like our family, not just the escorts, but anyone who travels long distances on the road will like it, so this thing will definitely sell well." Tan Xiaomei runs her own business, and if this is successful, it will definitely be a lucrative business.

How could she want to let it go?

Her father's business as a bodyguard is like walking on the edge of a knife. If she can earn more, she can open up other profitable businesses for their family, so that their business will have a way out in the future.
