Chapter 16 Recipe Transfer Re-examination
"Excluding Jiangnan and Yizhou, where the rain is still abundant, as well as a few counties in Hebei, there was a drought in all parts of Dahan last year, and this year's drought did not last, but signs of locust plague began to appear. Guanzhong has a stone of grain of 100,000 yuan, and the degree of food shortage has reached a peak. Wen Ming said solemnly, "In this case, a recipe that is both cheap and can feed the people is needed." β
"I'm more curious, how the hell do you know that I have such a recipe?" Wang Yong directly asked that the transaction between him and Cao Cao was only two hours ago, but the other party came directly to the door, which made him careless.
"Shopkeeper ......" Wen Ming smiled slightly when he heard this, "If we are channel dealers, if we are not well-informed, how can we do business?" We have no intention of fighting for power, we just want to do business in peace and stability, there are some things that everyone understands, why bother too seriously? β
Sure enough, Wanshiwu was able to do business to this extent, and it was not coveted, and there was no need to say more. Not to mention anything else, Wen Ming's ability to come to him to talk about business during the curfew has already explained a lot of truth.
"That recipe, I have already given it to Cao Tingshi, even if I haven't gone to the guild to go through the transfer procedures, but I promise it verbally, and I should keep my word. After handing over the recipe, according to the rules, I can't transfer it to anyone else, I just keep the right to use the formula. If Wanshiwu is interested, you can directly buy the right to use it from Cao Tingshi at that time! Wang Yong shook his head, the recipe for steamed buns has no way to be transferred to others.
"But as far as we know, the owner has kept other recipes and processes that extend this recipe." Wen Ming pinched it and said, but it didn't match his appearance, just like a little kid pretending to be an adult.
"It can't be Cao Cao telling you, right?" Wang Yong was speechless for a moment, Wanshiwu actually knew so much about it.
Cao Cao, of course she didn't say it, she didn't have time for such a formula. It's just that Wang Yong chased Cao Cao out and talked about it on the street, isn't it too bad to take passers-by seriously? Near the scene of their negotiation, there were people from the Wanshi House there, and they listened to this matter from beginning to end.
Some time ago, there was an idiot who applied for more than 20 certifications for recipes and skills directly in the chef's guild, which naturally attracted the attention of Wanshiwu! In the follow-up investigation, I learned that one of the recipes was called steamed bread. Then I heard that it could be very full after eating two with water, what is the significance of such a recipe for today's big man, everything is clear.
In fact, the Masters had also learned about this recipe at first, but the process was complicated and time-consuming, and the effect of eating it was unknown, so it was ignored by their intelligence officers.
"Guess?" Of course, Wen Ming would not tell Wang Yong the truth, so he made a sloppy look. But sometimes, it's precisely because of this that people think about it.
"Well, your Wanshiwu is really hand-eyed!" Wang Yong couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment.
"Shopkeeper!" Wen Ming looked at Wang Yong, "We are sincerely negotiating with you, not to mention that we will come up with enough benefits in exchange for the formula, just to say that the purchase channel of peanut oil residue you need, we will also open it for you!" Not only peanuts, but other materials, as long as you entrust us to find them, we will work hard to find them! β
"I have one more condition!" Wang Yong was indeed moved by compassion, after all, considering that so many people are in the midst of famine, it is indeed unreasonable to ignore it, "Even if I sell this formula, I still have the right to use it!" β
"We can even allow, Cao Cao's forces can also try this recipe for free!" Wen Ming, this little ghost, is very clever, and he immediately understood Wang Yong's plan.
"Okay, tomorrow we will go to the guild to sign a contract and transfer, and it just so happens that I will also go over with Cao Cao!" Wang Yong finally nodded. "Or, by the way, I did the test too!"
"In this way, Wen will come back tomorrow to bother!" Wen Ming got up and saluted Wang Yong, "The hen ordered by the guest, Wen can also handle the urgent business for you for free!" β
"It's hard work!" Wang Yong will not thank him, the original monopoly business is thinned out, and he is the one who loses the most.
The next day, Cao Cao was naturally the first to come to the door, and she couldn't help but pay attention to the production process of steamed buns. Immediately, it was Wen Ming who came over, and the formula that can help the hungry people survive the famine is very important no matter what the era. Dynasties can be replaced, but this recipe can last forever, and as long as there is a famine, then the house of all things can make money!
"You guys are really capable, you can actually deceive a recipe ......" Cao Cao looked at Wen Ming with interest.
"Wherever, seizing the moment has always been the basic policy of Wanshiwu, which makes you smile!" Wen Ming is very polite, no matter how big Wanshiwu is, in the end it is just a chamber of commerce without power. Although there is no need to be afraid of those in power, the necessary obedience is the way to survive.
"Can I not sell it to Lu Bu?" Cao Cao tried to negotiate, and if LΓΌ Bu survived the famine, it would be difficult to completely retake Yanzhou. This person is too powerful, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, and even the three of them with Lejin go into battle together, they can't win.
But now with the addition of Dian Wei, maybe there is a chance, right? However, for the enemy, it is best to weaken it naturally!
"Lu Bu once wanted to force our Wanshiwu to sell a batch of military rations to him at a low price, and even planned to turn us into his profit-making organization, even if this idea was dispelled in the end, she and our Wanshiwu were already opposites!" Wen Ming replied.
"That's right...... She's really damned! Cao Cao smiled faintly when he heard this, if Wanshiwu was really so easy to start, it would have been eaten and wiped clean a long time ago. This commercial consortium is said to have appeared in the Zhou Dynasty and then took shape in the last 200 years, and its organization is so large and influential that it is beyond anyone's imagination.
"Hello, what recipes need to be transferred?" Coming to the Chef's Guild, this is an institution that has been formed in the Qin Dynasty, and the business window where Cao Cao and the three of them are currently located is the formula trading business window.
In addition to this time, there is also a chef qualification registration window, a chef hiring business window, and a recipe certification registration business window.
"I have two recipes to trade for Cao Thorn Shi and Wanshiwu!" Wang Yong stepped forward, took out two formula registration certificates, and handed them to the window salesman.
"Do you have a chef's license?" The salesman asked.
"I'll register for the chef qualification test later." Wang Yong replied directly that he had already registered at the business window just now.
"So, this transaction is a civil act, and if other chefs are held accountable, you will not be protected, is that okay?" The salesman asked. Private transactions are the transactions between non-chefs and non-chefs for recipes, and there are many doorways in it.
It can be the children of chefs, who are so poor that they have to sell their father's recipes. Or maybe you got the recipe for some other reason and traded it. There is a certain possibility that the transaction is not legal, so you need to say the ugly thing first.
"No problem!" Wang Yong nodded, about twenty days ago, he took out a lot of formulas, registered the formula in the window, and the business window first conducted a formula query to determine that there was no correspondence or similar existence in the archived formulas and skills, and then entered the second stage of review. It took about five days before the recipes passed the review.
If he didn't have this step, he really had to worry that Cao Cao would take advantage of his technology. And on the side of Wanshiwu, they will not come to the door to ask for purchase, and with their ability to reach the sky with their hands and eyes, it is easy to take the formula directly and use it.
Immediately took out two recipe certification certificates, one is the recipe for steamed bread and the other is the recipe for fried noodles. The guild immediately inquired and found that the certificate numbers and contents of the two formulas were consistent with the contents of the archived documents, and at the same time checked the identity of the holders, and then went through the procedures. Change the name of 'formula holder' to 'Cao Cao' and 'Wanshiwu'.
Formulations can be sold directly to institutions or enterprises, which are equivalent to the legal persons/board of directors of enterprises and institutions. In this way, it saves the trouble of handling the right to use the formula one by one.
Immediately, the three of them handled the transfer of the right to use the formula, and agreed that Wang Yong would use the recipe of steamed bread and fried noodles. As for the terms agreed with Cao Cao and Wanshiwu, a separate contract had already been signed before the formula transaction.
"Alright, that's done! I'm going to go back and experiment with the recipe, and I wish you a good time to pass the chef's test. Cao Cao took the new formula certificate and turned to leave.
"I didn't expect it...... Chow mein is so broad and profound! "Relatively speaking, the inscription of Wanshiwu is looking at the recipe description of the fried noodles, and I can't help but marvel.
The fried noodles here are, of course, not the fried noodles of later generations, but pure dry fried flour in the final analysis. If you have the conditions to add edible oil, then add almonds or peanuts, or even sesame seeds, and the camellia oil in Shaanxi will be ready.
If it is used for dry food, it can be simpler, stir-fry with wheat bran, add grass roots and even sawdust, there is no nutrition, so you can fill your stomach, eat a few sips and drink a few sips of water, and you are really hungry.
In the past, when Wang Yong read novels, he would preach how good the steamed buns were, and even if the steamed buns were not removed and sifted into white flour, it would be a waste of time to make. For example, the fermentation time is not short, and this is still the time at room temperature, not to mention the subsequent steaming. It's naturally nothing to eat at ordinary times, but if you want to use it for the march, if you have that time to wait for fermentation, it is better to fry the noodles directly, or simply make dead noodles faster!
"You know how important this recipe is, right? If it weren't for the channel of the house of everything, it would be equally important to me, and if I changed to someone else, I wouldn't have given up this recipe yet! Wang Yong said proudly.
"Having said that, the shopkeeper is afraid that the owner will not be able to keep such an important formula!" Wen Ming carefully put away the formula and said in a low voice, "As long as you know the value of this formula, then no one can guarantee that others will not use their brains." Even the chef's guild may be secretly doing it. After all, the owner of the shop is alone, without the backing of his family, and if he dies, then according to the regulations, the recipe will be recycled by the chef's guild.
Don't look at them as an excuse to 'not let the recipes go away' or 'benefit the people', these recipes are directly used by the chefs of the chef's guild in the end, and they don't need to pay any price for it, who wouldn't want such a good thing? β
Indeed, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the chef guild is not only a group of chefs for warmth, but also a profit-making organization, and it is difficult to be honest and fair if there are interests entangled.
Whether it's steamed buns or fried noodles, it's too hot, Wang Yong can't keep it, he already knows this. It is the wisest choice to simply let it go and let others share the risk. Not to mention that the right to use it is in his hands, and he can still make money with these two things.
"Then, Wen will retire first!" Wen Ming saluted Wang Yong, "I wish you a smooth pass of the test, as for the agreed transfer fee, it will be delivered within ten days." β
"Okay!" Wang Yong nodded and watched Wen Ming leave.
After staying at the chef's guild for ten minutes, a salesman shouted: "Candidates who have come to take the test, please enter the examination room!" β
Of course, Wang Yong is not the only one who takes the exam, the chef industry is very popular, and naturally there are many people who want to get the certification of the chef guild and become a chef with a chef qualification certificate. Even some officials, or peddlers' pawns, may have the qualifications to cook.
It's just that he is so keen on the world of cooking and food, why the study of food is still in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Yong actually felt very unnatural from the beginning. Could it be that this is the result of deliberate guidance by some force, or is it a coincidence? It's not good, it's not good, it's a direct conspiracy theory if you're not careful!
Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Wang Yong followed the large army forward, and a group of 100 candidates entered the examination room in turn. If you don't expect it, first ask the candidate the steps to become a red case chef or a white case chef. Perhaps it is because white cases have not yet prevailed, or they have not been classified, so there is no need to be so clear.
Just when Wang Yong was thinking about it, the host took the stage and began to announce the questions of the test......
