Early the next morning, Zhang Chang came to Lu Ji with several escorts.

After a few pleasantries, we got down to business: "Shopkeeper Lu, are you ready with the food you mentioned yesterday that you can take on the road?"

Lu Yan didn't beat around the bush: "Bring me the small pot you usually bring to boil water on the road, and I'll demonstrate it to you."

The escorts brought in the pot they usually used to boil water, which was almost the same size as the pot Lu Yan used to cook noodles.

Lu Yan first boiled the water and took out the dried sausages and cut them into slices: "I'm going to demonstrate how to eat them when there is water later. When there is no way to boil the water, the sausages are quite good. Eat them with dry biscuits. This It can store things, it won’t break down even if it’s on the road for several months, and it can still eat meat.”

Several people each took a piece and ate it, and they were all full of praises after eating.

"This is delicious! It would be great to be able to eat this on the road!"

“Both sweet and spicy are delicious!”

The leading escort ate two slices and thought they were good. He asked Lu Yan, "Shopkeeper Lu, how do you sell this?"

"The sweet ones sell for [-] cents in our store, and the spicy ones cost [-] cents. One stick can last for several meals." Lu Yan said, "If you buy more, it will be cheaper. Regardless of the sweet or spicy version, you will get one." Root seventeen articles."

The escort nodded: "Then let's get twenty first."

Lu Yan nodded: "Okay, let's do it together later."

After saying this, the water also boiled.

Lu Yan came out with a basket of noodles: "Let me show you some ways to eat them."

Lu Yan first opened a bag of flour packets and poured it into the pot. After it was completely melted, she put in a piece of flour cake. The dry and hard noodles gradually softened in the water, absorbing the soup.

Lu Yan poured the soup and noodles into a large bowl. The bowl was full of noodles. The soup was clear and seemed watery.

"Can this be delicious?" the escort asked.

"This is clear soup noodles." Lu Yan handed chopsticks to everyone: "Take a bite each."

Several people picked up a noodle and ate it into their mouths with a questioning attitude, and were instantly shocked. The noodles that look bland are actually quite flavorful. With the addition of chicken powder and MSG, the water turns into a soup stock full of umami. This is a soup made from concentrated essences of mushrooms, chicken, dried shrimps and seaweed. It was a heavy blow to the ancients who had never eaten additives.

“This soup is so delicious!”

"Isn't this really a soup that has been simmered for a long time? Can we also make this flavor?"

Lu Yan smiled and picked up a powder packet: "Yes, this is the powder packet I prepared. Just add a packet of this to the water and you can drink it anytime, anywhere."

"How much does this cost?" the escorts asked impatiently.

"This bag costs eight cents, and one bag can cook noodles for two or three people in one pot." Lu Yan said, "It's easy to carry, and it doesn't take up much space with dozens of bags. And this powder can not only cook noodles, but you can also If you catch game or something on the road, you can also use this as a spreader."

"Okay, okay, let's get fifty packets of this." The escort chief cheered repeatedly.

Lu Yan: "No hurry, there's more."

Lu Yan took out the jar of mushroom meat sauce, scooped out a spoonful of meat sauce, and mixed it into the still hot clear soup noodles. The clear soup was instantly dyed reddish brown, and there was a layer of meat particles scattered on the noodles. The aroma of the meat sauce was stimulated by the temperature of the soup, and the originally bland noodles became attractive.

"Try again." Lu Yan greeted a few people.

Everyone picked up the noodles and took them into their mouths, and were shocked again. After adding the rich mushroom meat sauce, the taste of the entire noodles rises to a higher level and becomes thicker. The mushroom meat sauce is rich in flavor and a little spicy. The meat and mushrooms are very soft, which will whet your appetite.

Several people finished the bowl of noodles and shared the soup with each other.

Lu Yan: "..."

I also want to cut two more slices of sausage for you and put them in. Now that you’ve finished eating, forget it.

"After the noodles are cooked, add a spoonful of meat sauce, and the taste will be better. If you want a richer version, you can add two pieces of sausage when cooking the noodles." Lu Yan said: "If you don't have the noodles, Under certain circumstances, it is also very delicious to cook the noodles directly and mix them with the meat sauce. Also, if there is no water, you can also use this sauce to spread the dry food directly. "

"But this sauce is more expensive." Lu Yan said, "As you can see, I made it with meat. One can costs three hundred yuan." Lu Yan used several kilograms of meat to cook such a can, and the meat was cooked. After a serious shrinkage, there was only such a jar of sauce.

Lu Yan added: "But all of this is based on my noodle cake. As you can see, my noodle can hold up well and won't go bad for a long time, and it doesn't take much effort when cooking. It's cooked when put in the pot. A piece of bread is a bowl of noodles, and it costs two cents a piece."

Lu Yan's quotations were not low, but the items were all real and delicious, and they didn't charge high prices unconscionably, so the escorts were quite satisfied.

You can earn a lot of money by working as an escort, but it is indeed hard work and you have to sleep in the open air. If you can eat better, everyone will suffer less.

In the end, I ordered fifty pieces of bread, fifty bags of flour, five jars of meat sauce, and twenty sausages, which cost more than twenty taels of silver in total. Everyone felt that they had made a profit and were quite happy.

Finally sending everyone off, Zhang Chang looked at Lu Yan while riding on his horse: "I'm leaving. I will come back if I am a escort or a businessman after the year."

"Where are you going this time?" Lu Yan asked.

Zhang Chang: "I'm going to Bingzhou this time. There are many mountain roads, but it's not too far."

Lu Yan thought for a while and realized that Bingzhou was really not too far from Hengzhou. They were both in the north and there was nothing to bring with them, so she simply said goodbye: "Okay, you guys should leave quickly. We'll see you later."

"See you later!" Zhang Chang reluctantly left.

Zhang Chang left, and Lu Yan sat in the shop settling accounts. This time I sold something for more than two taels of silver, and made a net profit of more than one tael. This is actually okay. The main reason is that this time the distance is short and there are few escorts. If you run a business later and there are many people and the distance is long, you can make more money. If the Zhang Chang family's bodyguard bureau were used as a middleman and sold to more firms and bodyguard bureaus, it would be a huge source of money.

Lu Sheng returned home and asked Lu Yan a few questions. Knowing that Zhang Chang was gone today, he couldn't help but venomously said: "He doesn't know kung fu. He just follows the bodyguards around every day."

Lu Yan didn't take it seriously: "There is a bodyguard here and there is no need for him to guard the bodyguard. If he doesn't know kung fu, he can't do it. He just needs to be able to ride a horse well."

Lu Sheng knew that Lu Yan was telling the truth, but when he heard her speaking for Zhang Chang, he felt very sad: "Okay, okay, just speak for him. You all know that he can ride a horse well."

Lu Yan: "???Isn't this nonsense? I watched him ride away and I didn't know anything."

Lu Sheng curled his lips sourly.

Lu Yan was simply baffled. She discovered that Lu Sheng started to get sick as soon as he encountered Zhang Chang.
