“I guess so.” Jiang Yue said indifferently. “It all depends on when I tell Xue Sifu.”

After a short pause, Jiang Yue began to explain, “The rice flour I’m talking about is the strips made from rice flour. If it’s made from rice flour but people call it noodles. If it’s made from rice flour, it can also be called noodles or vermicelli. It depends on how thin you make it. If it’s especially thin, it’s called vermicelli. It can also be made into flatter noodles.

“No one in the town has sold this kind of stuff made of rice flour yet,” Jiang Yue said. “The taste is very different from normal noodles, and rice flour is cheaper than flour, so the cost is naturally much lower. It’s not much, but at least it’s more profitable than opening a noodle stall in town. “Moreover, it’s not necessary to use rice flour to make this thing. You can buy rice and make it. Soak it in water until it’s crushed. Crushing it is much easier. Rice is cheaper than rice flour, so the cost can naturally be reduced by a lot.”

No one in the town sold this kind of thing because no one could make rice flour into strips. It will always end up becoming brittle.

Xue Yan nodded his head, “Must you add something to it to make it stick together?”

Jiang Yue immediately understood what he wanted to ask and answered, “You can add things like starch flour to it to prevent the rice from breaking. However, the rice noodles made from this won’t be as original as they used to be. You just need to use the right rice.”

“The right rice?”

“Yes. Only a certain type of rice would be suitable. It must have a strong bite to it.”

“Which rice?”

“There’s one type of rice that’s definitely available, which is the hinda rice. The hinda rice is also known as the hiny rice.”

Xue Yan nodded again. “It’s still in the field. It’s not time for harvest yet. If you want to buy this kind of rice, you can only buy the rice harvested from last year.”

Jiang Yue glanced at him and said, “When do you think we should talk to him?”

Xue Sifu was not like others. He was smart, so they had to be extra careful and precise in whatever they did to avoid arousing his suspicion. He had his own opinions and didn’t like others interfering in his affairs. It was best if they didn’t take the initiative and were more passive. That way, he wouldn’t think too much and wouldn’t feel infuriated.

In other words, when it came to Xue Sifu’s business, it should be Xue Sifu who was in the leading position, not them.

They could help and give advice when the time came, but they could not snatch the leading position.

Because of this, even if she had the idea of rice noodles, she still did not tell him about it.

Xue Yan was a smart man, he knew why Jiang Yue hadn’t told him about the rice noodles. He sighed and said, Let’s wait a little longer and let Xue Sifu see for himself. If he really starts to think about setting up a noodle stall in town and wants to go in this direction, it won’t be too late for us to tell him about the rice noodles then.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yue had no objections.

She had long noticed that he was better at getting along with people and dealing with these things than she was. Therefore, she decided to let him take the lead in this aspect.
