Chapter 15 The paper bag of Tujia sesame cake

Time flies very quickly, and it is early November before I realize it. The weather in Shanghai is already chilly.

At this moment, a Tujia scattered cake called "Chinese pizza" suddenly popped up overnight in the streets and alleys of Shanghai, and it exploded in a whirlwind manner.

At the corner of the street, deep in the alley, on the side of the bustling market, even on the bustling market, as long as there are a little more people, you can basically see small stalls with white smoke floating on them.

These stalls are very simple, a stove, a simple table, a few basins of dough and a minced meatball that has been seasoned with special recipes, a few seasoning packs, and one or two busy chefs, that's all. But their business is surprisingly good, and the stove often surrounds and circles of customers scrambling to taste.

This sesame cake, which is composed of a small ball of dough, some minced meat, and some chopped green onions, is really surprising and unimaginable in Shanghai, but it grows wildly so incredibly.

On the bus, subway, on the street, and even on the small roads in the back corner, you can see people holding a kraft paper bag chewing on big cakes from time to time. Even the locals in Shanghai who are sweet and light in taste have begun to abandon their reserve and bite the so-called Tujia scattered cakes full of scallion and greasy and fragrant.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Yiyuan took a stack of more than ten Tujia sesame cakes into the workshop. He queued up for more than half an hour at Oriental International Trade. He had not had time to eat them yet. Wang Yiyuan left one for himself and gave all the remaining sesame cakes to Xiao Yunhua, who asked him to distribute them.

Since the contract with Guoli Socks Industry was officially signed, the proofing of Guoli Socks Industry Company has gradually begun to come in, and this period is the peak. Because of Mr. Xiao’s national socks work priority treatment, the whole process was still smooth, and some of the proofing has been initially confirmed one after another, waiting for the formal order.

Wang Yiyuan was very concerned about every proofing this time, and a large part of his energy was spent in the production workshop during this period. After reading it all, Wang Yiyuan was about to go out when Xiao Yunhua followed him. He said to Wang Yiyuan, Lao Wang, wait, I have something to do with you.

In fact, in terms of age, Xiao Yunhua is more than two years older than Wang Yiyuan, but now everyone in the company calls Wang Yiyuan Lao Wang, so Xiao Yunhua also calls him.

But when it comes to the origin of the name Lao Wang, even Wang Yiyuan didn’t know how he called it at first. Logically speaking, Wang Yiyuan is not old now, only twenty-nine years old, and should be still young, at least far from being respected as Lao Wang.

However, there is also a more reasonable explanation. It may be because most of the young people in the workshop and they have a good relationship with Wang Yiyuan. I think it seems unfamiliar to call Manager Wang, and it is obviously not suitable to call Xiao Wang. I don’t know who called Lao Wang at first, but I didn’t expect that they would call him in the company later. Wang Yiyuan didn’t feel embarrassed, and felt that it was nothing to be called like this, it didn’t matter, and even seemed a little close.

Wang Yiyuan stopped. Xiao Yunhua pulled Wang Yiyuan to a corner and said, I have two fellow villagers from Hubei tonight to invite you to dinner. I want to invite you to accompany you. Are you free? Wang Yiyuan said, is there something wrong? Xiao Yunhua shook the pancake in his hand and said softly that it was this pancake. Wang Yiyuan didn't understand.

Xiao Yunhua continued to say that it was the packaging bag of this Shaobing. This Shaobing was developed by my high school classmate in my hometown and their company. You have many ideas, so you can help me to advise the staff at night.

Wang Yiyuan said, OK, it just so happened that there was nothing to do tonight, and we could have a delicious meal. Xiao Yunhua said, then it was decided, and we will go there together after work.

At noon, Jiaotong University Lao Xie called in. He told Wang Yiyuan that the registration materials for the MBA training class of Jiaotong University have been approved by the school and he needs to go through the procedures and pay the fees on Sunday. What is rare is that after Lao Xie said that Wang Yiyuan's entire MBA training class was reduced by more than 50,000 yuan, which was considered to have received a lot of discounts.

Wang Yiyuan expressed his gratitude to Lao Xie. However, this time the tuition fee must be paid in advance for one year, and the information, registration fee, etc. will be nearly 25,000 yuan. Wang Yiyuan calculated that his cash plus the salary in the past few months, and the two bonuses obtained from the signing contract from Guoli Socks last time were almost less than 9,000 yuan, but for all of this, the tuition fee for paying this time was still far from enough.

He remembered that the company gave the special business expenses of Guoli Socks Industry last time, and there were still a lot left, and there were about 15,000 yuan left.

Wang Yiyuan made a round of ideas, but did not come up with any other good solutions. It seemed that he had to take these first and use them first. Adding up all of them should be enough this time. But those are Smart's consumption cards. Wang Yiyuan thought that there were still four days left before Sunday, so he decided to find time to go to Qibao in the middle and find ticket sellers to exchange these cards for cash.

The trivial matters were handled in the afternoon, and it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. Xiao Yunhua waited for Wang Yiyuan in the guard room at the factory gate. The two of them took a taxi to the Honghu restaurant next to Qibao Old Street. After entering the Jingzhou private room on the third floor, there were already three people waiting inside, and the dishes on the table had already been put on.

Xiao Yunhua apologized repeatedly and introduced each other to each other. The person sitting in the guest of the guest was Zhu Wenbing, who was the investment manager of the East China region of Wuhan Haotou Zhaer Seed Cake Food Company, which is Xiao Yunhua's high school classmate. The other two are Manager Tong from the Shanghai area and Manager Liu from the Suzhou area.

After shook hands one by one, Wang Yiyuan sat down at the table where he handed the dishes. The five people ordered three bottles of 52-degree rice-flavored white wine. Zhu Wenbing was quite generous and smiled and said loudly from the beginning, "We will drink this little tonight, but there are not many, but we can't waste it. We have to finish drinking before we can go home, and we can't pack it."

The few people were drinking and chatting, and naturally they talked about Tujia sesame cakes in a short while. When talking about their scattered sesame cakes, Zhu Wenbin talked confidently and introduced them in a very detailed manner.

It turns out that this Tujia sesame cake was originally located in Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, which is located in the junction of Hubei, Hunan and Chongqing provinces. It is a local snack with great local characteristics. It is an indispensable daily delicacy for the Tujia and Miao people. Its history is said to be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was once a traditional offering of the Tujia and Miao people, with a long historical and cultural background.

Zhu Wenbing also introduced that the main ingredient of this sesame cake is flour, which is also very distinctive in making. First, it is fermented with old noodles, then made into a filling with meat, green onion, pepper, etc., and mixed together to make a cake shape. Then it is covered with soy sauce, meat foam, chopped green onion, sesame, etc. The final processing is also very special, and it is roasted from charcoal in a clay tank.

Wang Yiyuan knew that there were Tujia and Miao people in his hometown in Hunan, but he did not expect that he could still be related to this popular sesame cake.

Zhu Wenbing said this, paused for a moment, and said mysteriously, "Selling a good guy, do you know who is making the hot Tujia slag cakes on the market now? Of course, Wang Yiyuan didn't know, so he shook his head and waited for Zhu Wenbing's later text.

Zhu Wenbing smiled and said proudly that it was the first developed by our boss lady. He continued, our boss lady herself was from Enshi, and at that time she was just a little girl who had graduated from college. She worked as a small accountant in a small company in Wuhan, named Lin Yan. She first introduced this small Tujia sesame cake to Wuhan. After the little girl's Tujia slag cake was launched, she did not expect to be a hot sale in Wuhan in a short time. Later, she realized the huge business opportunity from it, and the little girl quickly promoted this Tujia slag cake to other large and medium-sized cities through direct sales and chain methods in a timely manner.

When it comes to their boss, Zhu Wenbing obviously respects and admires them very much. He said in particular that the Tujia sesame cake, which was very popular in the local area, had no trademark, but when it came to the characteristics of the Tujia sesame cake that would cause crumbs every time he took a bite, the boss, who was still a little girl, named his sesame cake Tujia sesame cake, which means "the turbidity is the turbidity, the fashion of losing it". Unexpectedly, the vulgarity is the elegance, but the market is very fond of and recognized the name.

In this way, in a very short time, Tujia’s scattered cakes became famous nationwide. The little girl Lin Yan was known as the “Queen of Shaobing”, and she also created a modern version of the myth of “Enshi Tujia Scattered Cakes in the city, Enshi Tujia Scattered Cakes are popular all over the country”.

Zhu Wenbing sighed and said, the company did not expect this project to become popular now. Now, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai alone can sell nearly 50,000 sesame cakes a day, and Shanghai can have about 10,000 sesame cakes a day, and the number is still growing rapidly day by day. The key is that franchisees of all sizes are still squeezing towards us.

He smiled and said, "I'm telling you the truth, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me." Our company is not completely prepared for the popularity of this scattered cake in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Now many materials, such as franchise stall tools, food materials distribution, and even packaging paper bags, are basically in short supply now, and many are out of stock, and they can't keep up."

Wang Yiyuan was also secretly surprised after hearing this. Unexpectedly, behind such a popular Tujia Shaobing, the instigator and the trader were a little girl who was less than 27 years old and had only been graduating from college for two or three years.

He was secretly surprised. He was really a hero who was not as good as a man. This little girl must have her outstanding qualities and is worthy of understanding. He thought.

Everyone had a very bright meal. After dinner, they sent away Manager Zhu and the other three. Xiao Yunhua said to Wang Yiyuan, Lao Wang, let's go and have tea, the food here is too salty.

Wang Yiyuan knew that he must have something to say. The two of them entered a nearby tea room.

Xiao Yunhua asked for a pot of Tieguanyin. Wang Yiyuan sat down comfortably and took a toothpick to pick his teeth.

After tea twice, Xiao Yunhua spoke, Lao Wang, how long do you think this Tujia sesame cake will be popular?
