Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Liu Xialian praised: "It's developing very fast. Now there are three stores of Tieguodun and Linyi Fried Chicken, right?"

Xu Shiba nodded: "Yes, they are all stores. Tieguodun Linchang Store, Tieguodun Boiler Factory Store, Tieguodun Baishan Store. Linyi Fried Chicken Material Company Store, Linyi Fried Chicken Pharmaceutical Factory Store, and the one in the provincial capital is called Linyi Fried Chicken Nanguan Store."

Liu Xia Lian has a special feature when opening a restaurant. She does not rent a house, because houses are cheap these days. She just buys them directly. She also looks for a separate commercial location that will not disturb others and is separated from residential areas.

Iron pot stew is a Northeastern cuisine, with iron pot stewed goose, fish, mushroom stewed chicken, pork stewed with vermicelli and other dishes as the main dishes, and stir-fried dishes. It is a typical Northeastern local dish, very popular in Jilin Province. The biggest feature is the large quantity and rich ingredients. Take the main dish iron pot stewed goose as an example. It is enough for six or seven people to order this dish for a dinner. The live goose weighs ten pounds, and there are still seven or eight pounds of meat after killing it. The big iron pot is full, and the stainless steel plate occupies the center of the table. The chef of the iron pot stew is Li Ganzi, a representative of local chefs. He can't make any exquisite dishes, but he cooks Northeastern dishes very well. He understands the taste of local people and is very popular. The daily attendance rate can be 70% to 80%, which can be said to be making a fortune every day. Naturally, there are many jealous people.

Linyi Fried Chicken was founded by Liu Xialian's cousin Liu Fugang as the chef. It belongs to the southern Shandong cuisine. The main dish is fried chicken, which is fresh, fragrant and delicious. There are only about twenty dishes in total. It is delicious and not expensive. Moreover, Linyi Fried Chicken has a very wide base in the Northeast. At least 30% of the people in the three provinces of the Northeast are from Shandong. Most of them came here in the late Qing Dynasty, fled to Guandong during the Republic of China, and some came here in the 1950s.

What people remember most is not the delicacies from land and sea, but the taste of childhood. Fried chicken was an absolute staple in those days, and it was not available except during festivals. Compared with Northeastern stews, Linyi fried chicken tastes more delicious. In addition to fried chicken, other stir-fried dishes are served faster, and the daily turnover is also several hundred.

Due to the deepening development of reform and opening up, the economy has shown a prosperous scene, especially the old industrial base such as Jilin Province, whose economic development far exceeds that of the emerging cities in the south. After all, it has a profound foundation and its decline is only 20 years away.

Xu Shiba smiled and said, "The biggest problem now is that we don't have enough chefs and store managers. The incubation speed is much slower than the store expansion speed. After the several stores in the provincial capital are completed, let Fugang and Ganzi focus on cultivating talents. With enough skilled chefs, the stores will be a small problem."

"Okay, don't be anxious if it's not enough, take your time. Be careful with this store in Nanguan. In the next two days, you can recruit some good people from the nearby villages and be careful."

"Okay, Xia Lian, don't worry, I will recruit two good hands in the next two days."

The two cars drove together all the way until they reached the county town, where they went their separate ways.

When I arrived at the forest farm, I happened to meet Li Hu. Li Hu was driving a 25-horsepower tractor to deliver fish. He opened a fish shop in the county town and another one in the forest farm. Now he was collecting and catching fish, and the daily volume was maintained at about 1,000 kilograms, with a net profit of more than 300 yuan.

Li Hu drove over and asked, "Sister, where are we going?"

"I just came back from the provincial capital. You take Daya and Erya back to the village. I'm going to the kimchi factory."

"Okay, sister."

Liu Xia Lian looked at Li Hu's shabby clothes. The handsome young man had become a fishmonger. Now Xu Xiong was engaged in electrical appliances, doing a clean job and making a lot of money. The gap between them was widening.

"Li Hu, do you regret your choice? If you don't want to do this anymore, you can go to the provincial capital and run a restaurant. Although you won't make much money, it's better to have some free time."

Li Hu scratched his head. "I fish because I love it. Although I can't make a lot of money, I can make some small amounts of money. It's no problem for me to get rich. I have an immature idea now, which should be much better than just fishing for freshwater fish."

"Oh, what's your idea? Tell me."

"I plan to open another store in the county's aquatic product wholesale market. In addition to river fish, I also want to sell sea fish. The price of sea products is much cheaper than river fish, and the market is also large, so the profit is quite high. The investment only requires money to build a cold storage. The goods are all Spanish mackerel, Spanish mackerel, hairtail, shrimp, squid, crab, kelp, etc., which are shipped in bulk from Bayuquan and Dalian. The net profit is more than 100%."

Liu Xialian has some knowledge about seafood. These days, the resources of the sea are extremely rich, and the price of seafood is low, which is very popular among ordinary people. Songhua River fish is just the opposite, especially catfish, catfish, and black fish, which are relatively expensive and usually sold in restaurants as mid- to high-end consumption.

"Selling seafood is a good idea. You can do it. If you need me to come forward, just contact me in advance."

"Okay, sister, it's easy to find seafood, but it will cost more to transport it."

Erya was getting impatient and said, "Huzi, stop talking and hurry up. I want to go home and see how the fungus I planted is doing and whether it has died."

Liu Xialian said, "Li Hu, please go back first. Just arrange the seafood. You can decide this little thing yourself."

Li Hu started the tractor, which was spewing black smoke, and took Daya and Erya home.

When Liu Xia Lian arrived at the kimchi factory, it was time for lunch.

Grandpa Xu Changyuan and several key members of the production workshop were eating there. Liu Xia Lian placed a few bottles of samples from other factories on the dining table.

"Grandpa, fellow elites, here are some hot-selling products that the sales department found from outside. They are selling well in the market. Can you guys see if we can make them?"

Grandpa's hands were quite strong. He opened the pickled chili with a snap. He took a bite and smiled confidently: "This pickled chili is very simple. It's easy to make. There's no technical content. This is a must-have dish for old drunkards. Most people can't eat this."

Everyone ate a little and tasted it. The pickled peppers were quite good, sour, spicy and crispy, and very spicy and refreshing.

Some people say: "The yield of millet pepper is low, with one acre producing more than 1,000 kilograms. The production cost is not low. If you want to do it, I suggest you develop less and don't produce too much."

The chopped pepper sauce made from red and green peppers uses long peppers, which have a high yield.

Xu Changyuan tasted it and shook his head: "I really don't understand whether it was soaked first or cut first. But I think we should use other techniques. There is no need to imitate this. After chopping the pepper, pour hot oil on it. It tastes better and can be preserved for a longer time."

A technical backbone suggested: "I think we can try to use preservatives. Preservatives are now allowed by the state and can extend the shelf life."

Liu Xialian vetoed the proposal: "Don't mention preservatives anymore. Although they are allowed to be added, we must not use them. We would rather produce good products at a higher price."
