Chapter 197 Sister Ice Beauty can’t wait any longer

I stayed at home for another two days, just in time to find an acquaintance at my aunt's house to activate broadband.

Then when the bank started to arrange people on duty, I took the time to activate the online payment function.

Under Ma Liang's guidance, the preparations for the online store were thoroughly completed.

The Taobao store is now open, and two products have been uploaded, one is slender ordinary sweet potato vermicelli, and the other is flat and thick hot pot or spicy wide vermicelli.

Ordinary personal Taobao stores only have a limited range of products and do not require particularly strong operations.

The only thing that requires effort is to continuously attract traffic to your online store. Ma Liang has already taught you the specific method, and the effect depends on the level of your aunt and your family.

However, compared with the mobile Internet era with information explosion, the cost of attracting traffic in early 2006 was still not that high.

As long as the content is done well, there will always be rewards.

Ma Liang thought for a while and then added: "Honey, it's best to research hot and sour noodles when you have time."

"Hot and sour noodles? Do you still need to study it? I can make it for you at night." Aunt Ma Sufen said nonchalantly.

Ma Liang shook his head and explained: "It's not an ordinary hot and sour noodle. I want you to develop a hot and sour noodle product similar to instant noodles.

To make vermicelli, you don’t need to use a pot to cook it, you can just brew it with boiling water and eat it.

If the research is really done, we won’t be afraid that our online store won’t be able to take off the business.

With so many people in Sichuan and Sichuan Province going out to work, many of them miss the taste of hot and sour noodles in their hometown.

If it could be as simple as instant noodles, many people would definitely buy it."

"I know, but the kind of vermicelli soaked in boiling water is not strong enough and not as delicious as boiled noodles." Ma Sufen immediately reacted.

Ma Liang replied with a headache: "Honey, open your mind.

People are so busy that they don't have time to cook noodles, so they don't care about the slight taste difference between boiling and soaking. Some of them are just good.

Instant noodles are not as delicious as hand-rolled noodles, and they are still selling like crazy.”

"That's right. Your uncle and I will study it later and see if we can figure it out. It shouldn't be too difficult." Ma Sufen replied confidently.

She runs a sweet potato vermicelli workshop at home, and she must have tried processing techniques with different ratios, so she has the confidence to say such a thing.

In fact, the first bowl of instant hot and sour noodles appeared in 1997.

However, due to technical limitations at the time, instant hot and sour noodles had a relatively short shelf life, were heavy in oil and spicy, and may contain alum, so they did not receive much attention and promotion.

It was not until 2015 that manufacturers such as Master Kong, Baixiang, and Nanjiecun successively launched their own instant hot and sour noodle products.

The method of making instant hot and sour noodles soon became no secret.

The instant hot and sour noodles that have been improved by various companies have changed the previous "fatal point" and begun to have "private customization".

Not only does it provide a variety of vegetable buns to suit the tastes of different diners, but it also replaces the heavy oil and spicy characteristics with fresh flavor, which has attracted countless consumers for a while.

It is worth mentioning that the hot and sour noodles originated from the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, but were eventually developed and expanded by the Dutch people who love to eat noodles.

This is a direct blow to the Sichuan and Chongqing catering and food industry, and it is nailed to the pillar of shame.

If possible, Ma Liang hopes that her aunt can save her face in this life.

So he told his aunt and uncle all the limited information he knew, hoping that they could work out the results.

"Liang Wazi, if the research is really done, wouldn't it mean that we would have to buy new machinery and equipment? We won't have that much money!" My uncle expressed his worries.

Ma Liang laughed and replied: "Don't panic, if the research is really done, I can invest money and invest in a new production line for you."

"Yes, your aunt and I will give it a try in two days. According to the method you mentioned, it shouldn't take long to figure it out." After hearing this, his uncle Wu Shengli replied excitedly.

My nephew pointed out the general direction, just work out the ratio of sweet potato starch puree.

Compared with the traditional drying process of sweet potato vermicelli, the subsequent process is just an additional steaming and drying process.

Wu Shengli actually feels that traditional handicrafts are a bit behind the times. Not only is production capacity limited, but also depends on the weather. If the weather is bad, drying is a problem.

The only advantage is that the traditional handmade sweet potato vermicelli tastes better.

It's not like a machine-automated production line, with high production capacity, and you don't have to worry about drying, it will be dried in minutes.

However, the equipment is too expensive and the couple simply cannot afford to upgrade the workshop.

If we can really develop vermicelli that is as convenient as instant noodles, and Ma Liang is willing to invest money, maybe we can really take advantage of the situation to become bigger and stronger.

Who doesn't know that instant noodle manufacturers are making a lot of money, so my uncle was naturally yearning for it when he heard this.

After chatting with his aunt and uncle, Ma Liang hurried to the county. Because today was the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it was the day to take the driver's license test.

Hu Weijie called him back two days ago and said that everything was arranged and he could just go through the motions.

When he arrived at the place, the invigilator started going through the process before Hu Weijie showed up.

First, he took the computer-based theory test. The invigilator planned to help him, but it turned out that he didn't need it at all. Ma Liang answered the questions very quickly.

After the computer-based exam, I went directly to a large playground to take the exams for subsequent subjects.

When the teacher saw that Ma Liang was familiar with driving, he didn't even bother to go through the process in the end, and just announced that he had passed.

This is the case in small places. The driving license test is not strict these days.

Not to mention that Hu Weijie's father, the captain of the traffic police brigade, said hello, so there was no reason to fail the test. He even prepared his driver's license in advance, which saved him a lot of trouble.

I have to say that there are people in the DPRK who can do things easily!

After getting his driver's license, Ma Liang thought about treating Hu Weijie to a meal to thank him. Although he was a good brother, he couldn't be ignorant.

I directly chose a restaurant near the driving school. The quality was much better than the last class reunion.

"You can do it, my teacher said you are an experienced driver!" Hu Weijie couldn't help but said in surprise as soon as he entered the restaurant's private room.

He just received feedback from the driving school that Ma Liang didn't even have to go through the motions to get his driver's license.

It's just that Hu Weijie didn't come alone. He was also followed by study committee member Qiu Xinyi and "campus beauty" Lin Qiuya.

Qiu Xinyi could understand why Lin Qiuya also came together.

He was very puzzled by the behavior of his good brother. It seemed that such a bloody twist had never happened in his previous life.

What Ma Liang didn't know was that in his previous life, he had not attended the class reunion, nor had he brought Liu Feifei to the scene, so he had not interfered with the original development trajectory of Young Master Zhang and Qiu School Committee.

As a result, Qiu Xinyi and Zhang Shaoyang had a falling out this time, giving Hu Weijie a chance.

This guy is really a bitch. When he saw that the goddess in his heart had a window of opportunity, he immediately hooked up with her.

I have to say, this is really a butterfly effect.

The key is just to bring him and Qiu Xinyi over for dinner. Why did he even recruit Lin Qiuya?

"Didn't I tell you, I learned it a long time ago in Donghai." Ma Liang replied awkwardly, "Xinyi and Qiu Ya are here too, sit down quickly, I'll add two more dishes."

Although I am not very proud of these two female classmates, they still have to show off on the surface.

After all, it was Hu Weijie who brought him here, so he couldn't refute the good brother's face.

However, with Qiu Xinyi and Lin Qiuya participating, the meal was not so enjoyable, at least not able to speak freely.

After eating, Ma Liang called Hu Weijie from behind and whispered: "Are you so cheap? Young Master Zhang came to see you when he was out of town. Are you so hungry?

It’s okay to play for fun, but don’t take it seriously.”

"What about cheating? Xinyi and that guy Zhang Shaoyang have never had a formal relationship." Hu Weijie immediately became a little unhappy.

Ma Liang had a headache and could only lie: "If you believe me once, I will have told your fortune a long time ago. The red line of your destiny is not with Qiu Xuewei.

When you start working, a good marriage will be waiting for you."

He was not talking nonsense. Hu Weijie did develop like this in his previous life. After graduation, he took the civil service examination and went directly to the official career, and only then met his real partner, the daughter of the provincial leader.

It was precisely because of his father-in-law's care that this boy had a smooth journey and was promoted to three levels in a row.

Later, he directly became the youngest group of reserve cadres in the Chengdu system. He can be said to be a winner in life.

That's why Ma Liang didn't want him and Qiu Xinyi to get together again. Qiu Xinyi's father was just a county leader, how could he compare with the provincial boss?

He really wants to tell Hu Weijie the truth. The broad road is ahead, so you can't take detours!

"It's true or not, it's like a magic trick." Hu Weijie obviously didn't listen.

Ma Liang had a headache, but he couldn't reveal too much, so he had no choice but to give up. From now on, whether he is a dragon or a worm, it all depends on this boy's fate.

Back home, I had a good dinner with my grandparents, aunt and uncle.

After breakfast the next day, he said goodbye to his relatives, rushed to Shuangliu Airport in Chengdu again, and boarded the flight back to the magical city.

By the time he got off the plane, it was already mid-afternoon.

It has to be said that the rich lady knows how to care for people, so she sent a car to pick him up. After getting off the plane, he went straight to the parking lot and found the familiar white Bentley according to the text message prompts.

Opening the car door, he was about to say hello to the driver, Master Lei, but when Ma Liang looked at the driver's seat, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

After being stunned for a second or two, he immediately let out a cheer: "Sister Bing, why is it you?"

Sister Bing Meiren didn't even arrange a driver, but actually drove to pick him up herself. She obviously wanted to give Ma Liang a surprise.

"You're such a fool, hurry up and get in the car." Yan Bing also said with excitement.
