Chapter 8 Mold (Thanks to Mr. Baobao for the reward)
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the courier delivered the mold sent by Qin Xiuli to the door.
Six sets of solid wood molds, together, are more than 60 kilograms. Ouyang Fei, who doesn't believe that a mold weighs more than 10 kilograms, would hold one and stand on the scale to weigh it, and then find that he has gained another 8 kilograms and start emo.
Qin Huai chose to ignore it and tried to make a set of animal molds.
Very successful.
The speed is fast, the size and shape are uniform, and the most important thing is that there is no need for subsequent processing. The mold itself is fine enough, and the little rabbit, mouse, and piglet pressed out are lifelike, which is a style that children will like.
"It can be really pressed out. I thought this kind of mold can only be pressed on mooncakes and osmanthus cakes." Ouyang, who finished emo, was amazed and pointed to another set of molds that were not used, and asked, "Can Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie on this set of molds be able to press out too?"
"You can press out the approximate shape." Qin Huai said, "The subsequent processing and coloring are required. If the craftsman is good, the final product will be similar to the dough man."
"That's good." Ouyang was instantly interested, "I took my nephew to the street two years ago to meet someone who made noodles. To be honest, I don't think it was a bad guy. It's probably obvious that it was Sun Wukong, and he couldn't read it carefully. It costs 25 yuan per person, and it can't be eaten or played. My nephew broke it before he finished shopping. If you can mass-produce it, you can make three in batches, three at a time, and earn 1,500 an hour!"
"Qinhuai, why are you still opening a canteen? Go directly to the door of the affiliated primary school to set up a stall. You are going to get rich!"
Qin Huai really wants to take out his system panel for Ouyang to see. How can he make money with his elementary fingering? Does the stupid people who rely on primary school students to make more money and the tolerance of urban management?
"You can just pick one now, I'll give it to my nephew and let him open up sales for you. He is from an affiliated elementary school." Ouyang felt that he had seen a bright future.
At that time, Qinhuai will produce and sell, and it will be just around the corner.
Qin Huai spread his hands: "No."
Ouyang:?
"How come your family has these molds? Could it be that uncle can do it?" Ouyang felt it was time to establish a friendship with Qin Congwen.
"My dad doesn't."
Ouyang:??
"That's right. These 6 sets of molds were ordered by my dad when he had not opened a breakfast shop 27 years ago. I spent a lot of money. In my mom's words, if my dad didn't order these 6 sets of molds but used the money to buy a small house in the city, our family would have been financially free."
Ouyang: 0.0
"Is this thing so expensive?"
"That's not, mainly because the houses in the city were cheaper at that time, and were cheaper than those in our county."
"Then why did uncle spend a lot of money to order a set of molds that he wouldn't use at all?" Ouyang was puzzled.
Qin Huai said that this is a very long story.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about Qin Congwen's ambition.
Although Qin Congwen has opened a breakfast shop for more than 20 years, he was also a person with dreams. More than 20 years ago, Qiuxian had a prosperous period due to its geographical location. There were many merchants, including rich people, and their business was very good in both restaurants and hotels. At that time, Qin Congwen's dream was to open a dim sum shop, make steady progress, first become the first in the county, then the whole province, and finally the whole country.
It happened that at that time, the most famous hotel in the county was generating income. In addition to normal Chinese food and dinner, it also sold dim sum all day long. It had a lot of variety, with all kinds of cute animal styles, and a series of gift boxes. What are the twelve zodiac signs, Liangshan 100 singles and eight generals, Journey to the West, the same style as the price is in place, and it can even be customized. Only unexpected, not impossible. In just a few months, the dim sum of the hotel has become a famous specialty in Qiu County, and merchants who come and go like to buy a few sets to give to others.
Once dim sum is popular, more people follow the trend. There are one dim sum shop in Qiuxian, and they all find carpenters to customize the same mold. If the high-end ones cannot be done, they will fight price wars and roll the low-end market. With everyone's concerted efforts, carpenters in Qiuxian became very popular. Qin Congwen, who had a dream of dim sum, also followed the trend and found carpenters to customize molds. Not only did they line up, but they also spent huge amounts of money to customize molds, becoming the number one sucker in the dim sum craze.
A few years later, the hotel closed down because the chef ran away and lost its leader. Cheap dim sum shops that rely on molds and have no excellent skills are no longer popular.
Today, Qiu County is no longer a transportation hub and has become an ordinary small county town. The prosperity is no longer the same as before. The old-fashioned brand was closed, and the dim sum shop was not changed to a breakfast shop. Qin Congwen, who accidentally opened a "old-fashioned brand". Now, except for Qin Congwen who occasionally takes out the transportation and keeps it intact, it is still a new mold of 99 to mourn the indifference of his money he spent on the trend back then. It is probably not many people who remember that Qiu County's specialty was the dim sum gift box.
"When my dad asked Carpenter Zhang to customize it, Carpenter Zhang advised my dad and told my dad that the Journey to the West series was not that simple. The reason why the chef dared to sell it in the hotel was because the master was good at craftsmanship. The mold could only be made into a rough shape, and subsequent processing and coloring were required. But my dad didn't believe in evil. He didn't know that the subsequent processing was so difficult. You think you were Sun Wukong, and others thought you were the king of inspiration."
"The final result is that the mold is well-made and I can't make it. Every dim sum shop in the county can make those simple basic styles, and it's better than my dad's. So my dad didn't open a dim sum shop later. He went to the neighbor next door to learn from his master and learned to open a breakfast shop for a few months."
"These six sets of molds have been kept at home, and they are reluctant to throw them away, and they can't be sold. Fortunately, the wood is of good quality, and it has not been rotten for so many years and has not been eaten by insects. Now it is in use."
Ouyang can only express regretfully:
"Why did uncle set the template for Journey to the West back then? If we set the twelve zodiac signs, our career in face-to-face will begin."
"How great are the twelve zodiac signs, children will definitely like them!"
Qin Huai felt that if Qin Congwen could hear Ouyang's words, he would definitely say: What do you know? There are only 4 masters and disciples of Tang Monk, and there are 12 zodiac signs. It costs three times more. Do you understand the cost-effectiveness?
Ouyang Lai, who didn't understand the cost-effectiveness, had another supper at Qin Huai's house. Finally, under Qin Luo's touching eyes, he took two large bags of red bean hedgehog bags and went home. Qin Luo didn't even dare to cheer before Ouyang left, and he screamed until he was sure that Ouyang had already taken the elevator.
"Okay, I won't have to eat red bean hedgehog bags again!"
"Brother, what will we eat tomorrow morning?"
Qin Huai pointed to a batch of rabbit buns made in the kitchen when he was trying the mold this afternoon: "Eat red bean rabbit buns, but the other stuffing has not been made yet."
Qin Luo:Σ(°△°|||)︴
