In any era, mass merchandise was the most profitable. Luxury goods could only be called luxury goods if people could afford them. Otherwise, they were no different from museum displays.
Just like the future.
Among the major car companies, the most profitable ones were civilian cars, not sports cars.
Under normal circumstances, it was good enough that a sports car did not lose money.
This wasn't a joke, it was the truth.
Even if they thought of themselves as luxury goods, those things were still common products because they were affordable.
The only difference was that you couldn't afford it.
It was the same for instant noodles.
"Father, I'm currently making it myself, and the cost is 50 copper coins. If there's a large workshop to make it, the cost should be controlled below 20 copper coins.”
Jiang Xiaochen muttered.
It had to be said that this era was different from the future.
Even if the process of making instant noodles was not complicated.
The cost was also much higher than in the future.
In this era, one copper coin was equivalent to one yuan in the future. Twenty copper coins was equivalent to twenty yuan. Just the cost alone had reached twenty yuan. If this was in the future, there was almost no need to continue.
Instant noodles cost 20 yuan, but they were only sold for 3 to 5 yuan.
But in this era, it was normal.
First of all, there was no wheat in Jiangnan.
Secondly, the cost of all kinds of seasonings was not something that could be compared to the future, so the cost was naturally high.
Moreover, 20 copper coins was indeed high for ordinary people.
In his previous life, instant noodles were meant for everyone. But now, a hundred years ago, instant noodles were not meant for everyone. At least, it was for small families. Only such families could afford it.
This way, the cost of twenty copper coins was not expensive.
"Really?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaochen's words, Jiang Qingyuan became even more excited.
As a businessman, he understood the importance of this.
"Of course,"
"Moreover, if father can get a large amount of flour, this price can be lowered!”
Jiang Xiaochen's voice was filled with certainty.
"Good, very good!"
"Chen 'er, the formula must be kept a secret!”
"I'll start preparing immediately!"
"Furen, can you lend me those two thousand silver coins for a while?”
As soon as he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. Jiang Qingyuan looked at his wife in embarrassment.
He had no money now.
He could only borrow it from his wife.
"Husband, what are you talking about?”
Lin Yulian said seriously.
"Thank you, Madam!"
Jiang Qingyuan said gratefully.
Then, he began to move quickly.
As the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Qingyuan had quite a few connections in the entire Jiangnan Prefecture.
Under his rapid operation, a factory, no, in this era, it should be said that a workshop had been established. Then, a large number of materials began to be purchased.
Although the silver dollar had already begun to collapse.
However, in the entire Manchu Kingdom, it was still extremely valuable.
Although 2,000 silver dollars was not much, it was definitely not a small amount.
It was naturally easy to purchase resources.
A month passed.
The entire Jiang family had been preparing for a month.
In this month, a large amount of silver was scattered in exchange for a large amount of resources.
White flour was purchased.
Spices were also purchased.
He directly stockpiled several warehouses.
For a time, all the great clans in the Jiangnan Prefecture could not help but feel somewhat surprised. They did not know what the youngest son of the Jiang family was planning to do.
Jiang Mansion.
"First Madam, this is the current situation over there!”
A servant carefully reported to the middle-aged woman in front of him.
He did not dare to be negligent.
This First Madam was not the previous Young Madam. She was extremely harsh to her servants.
He did not want to be whipped.
"What's wrong with Second Brother? Why did he store so much flour?”
The middle-aged woman frowned and asked curiously.
"Madam, we don't really eat noodles in the south. Second Young Master and the others have done something wrong!”
A servant girl at the side said mockingly.
From the servant girl's reaction, it could be seen that the middle-aged woman had obviously been slandering Jiang Qingyuan and his wife behind their backs. It was so much so that a servant girl dared to criticize them.
"Forget it, let's not bother about them. Pass down the order. We're going to expand the workshop this year. The eldest young master has borrowed a lot of silver from the British.”
The middle-aged woman shook her head. She did not care about the servant girl's words or Jiang Qingyuan's actions. She waved her hand and continued to speak.
Now that the benefits of the yarn factory were getting better and better, he decided to further expand the yarn factory.
In order to expand Changneng, they even went to borrow money from foreigners.
"Yes, sir!"
The servant quickly responded.
Boss didn't pay attention to it.
Jiang Qingyuan's actions continued.
After the materials were purchased, production began.
The production of instant noodles was not complicated. Salt and soda water were added to the water in the dough and stirred evenly. Adding soda could neutralize the acid produced by the dough's fermentation, so that the flavor would not change and the noodles would become more chewy.
Then, he dehydrated and fried it.
It could be done in a few simple steps.
Therefore, some workers could operate it after a few days of training.
Of course, these people were only complicating the process to prevent it from being leaked.
Although it was only a matter of time before the instant noodles were leaked, it was better to be a day late.
For Jiang Xiaochen, what made him happy was that the patent certificate for instant noodles had been issued. Although he spent almost 500 silver dollars for it, it was worth it.
With this certificate, it was still very useful for some subsequent things.
Of course, it was nonsense to say that it was completely useful.
However, Jiang Xiaochen only needed him to be useful.
After the patent certificate was issued, the entire workshop went into full production.

He couldn't appear. He would be restricted, so he could only use his code name!）
