Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

"Come, have another drink." Uncle Zhao kept toasting Father Zhao.The eldest aunt on the side has been holding Zhao's mother's hand and talking about family affairs. After returning from Zhao An's house, this kind of enthusiasm has not stopped

Although Zhao Da has been talking on the phone with his family in the past six months, and even sent money home.But Uncle Zhao and his wife were still worried about Zhao Da.

It wasn't until their son returned to the Lower East Village and appeared in front of them that they really felt the changes in their son.

Both of them knew very well that their son was able to live so smoothly in Rongcheng, and his income reached an unimaginable level for the two of them.

With Zhao Da's current income, it is even possible to find a man from the city to be his wife.Now the eldest aunt is not worried about Zhao Da's marriage at all, let her son work hard in the city for a while.

So after Zhao An's family returned to the Lower East Village, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhao naturally welcomed them warmly.

Seeing that their eldest grandson had also stabilized, the grandpa and grandma naturally burst into laughter.My son and grandson went to big cities to work hard, and they all got good results.When you go to the village for a few days, you can show off to a few old friends of yours.

Seeing how successful Zhao Da's entry into the city was, the rest of the family were also moved.The whole family, including the eldest uncle and the third uncle, had the idea of ​​going to the city.

According to Zhao Da's description, selling stewed vegetables in the city is much easier than farming in the countryside, and the income is higher.And it is absolutely possible to open a chain store like Zhao Da, and it can also increase the income of Yuejin and the couple, and they will not feel embarrassed.

But thinking of leaving the familiar hometown, there are no familiar friends to "put up a dragon's gate", branch stores have to be opened in various places in Rongcheng, and there are still two elders who need to be taken care of at home... Uncle Zhao and Sanbo Zhao temporarily dismissed this idea.

On the contrary, Zhao's father took the initiative to bring up another matter, that is, the crops of the two brothers' families.

Huaxia is originally a small-scale farmer model, and a farmer only has a few acres of land.Sometimes it is not possible to plant all the same crops, and the advantages of scale cannot be fully utilized.

Everyone always likes to leave some land to grow the vegetables they need daily. After all, buying from the market must be much more expensive than growing them yourself.

Another problem is that apart from staple grains, other crops are not uniformly purchased by major grain merchants, but the purchase price of staple grains is extremely low.

Unless a certain crop has already been planted nearby, farmers are afraid that a large number of certain crops will be unsalable.

So Father Zhao and his brother mentioned the purchase of agricultural products.

Now that Ye's secret brine business has stabilized, a large amount of ingredients and spices are needed. Instead of looking for them in the market every day, it is better to fix a source.

Kelp is not considered for the time being.Other lotus root, potatoes and hot peppers that consume a lot are suitable for planting in S Province.

Of course, Zhao's father has special requirements for the varieties of these three crops. For example, peppers must be chili peppers that are more suitable for making chili sauce.

Now there are more and more varieties of crops.

Taking potato as an example, as one of the main food and economic crops in the world, the cultivation work has been quite perfect. Since the reform and opening up, the excellent varieties from all over the world have been directly poured into China.

Snowden comes from Maple Leaf Country, which has high dry matter content and high starch content, and is most suitable for making fried chips.The Eugene cultivated by Huaxia itself has relatively more vitamin C, and the tubers are large and neat. It is suitable for cooking shredded potatoes or making French fries.

These cultivated and selected potatoes have a particularly important feature, that is, large size, high yield per mu, and fast maturity.After all, when the unit price of potatoes is relatively stable and low, only by increasing the output as much as possible can profits be guaranteed.

Since the 90s, more and more farmers have chosen to plant these new varieties, while the native small potatoes have gradually been abandoned.

But if you eat marinated whole potatoes, the taste of local small potatoes is better.The so-called small potatoes are not cultivated potatoes that have not fully matured.

In order to ensure the concentrated supply of nutrients during the growth period, varieties with fewer plant tubers are selected during the cultivation of potatoes.For unselected varieties, ten or twenty small tubers that can be used can often be formed under one plant, which is the so-called "small potato".

The content of starch, dry matter and fiber of this small potato is significantly lower than that of the selected potato, and it is impossible to make processed potato products.But it is especially suitable for direct steaming, frying, stewing and other cooking methods.

First of all, because the dry matter and starch content are relatively low, and the water content is higher, the taste of small potatoes will not be as dry and powdery as large potatoes.

Secondly, because the potatoes are small in size, the direct frying of the whole potatoes can also quickly cause the gelatinization reaction.The golden shell on the surface of fried potatoes is the product of the gelatinization reaction.The same small potatoes can also be marinated quickly.

Another very important point is that because the starch content of small potatoes is relatively low, it will not dissolve in a large amount in the brine during the brine process, which will damage the texture of the brine.Small potatoes can be said to be the most ideal marinated varieties [1].

In fact, Zhao's mother also planned to use the big cultivated potatoes for marinating at the beginning. After all, the cost can be reduced again in this way, and the purchase and control of dishes can be much simpler.

But Zhao An resolutely opposed this matter, half of the reason was that Zhao An wanted to establish and maintain the core competitiveness of Ye's Secret Brine, and the other half of the reason was purely because of Zhao An's perfectionism.

It is true that different people have different taste buds and have different preferences for seasoning and texture.But Zhao An believes that most diners will prefer marinated small potatoes.

Zhao An didn't quarrel with his parents either. He asked Zhao's father to buy the same amount of young potatoes and cultivated potatoes within a week, and then sell them at the stewed vegetables stand.

Every day, the small potatoes are sold out before the cultivated potatoes. This intuitive sales comparison made Zhao's father and Zhao's mother decide to sell mainly small potatoes in the future.

In the future, small potatoes will definitely become more and more difficult to find in the market. Even if the unit price of small potatoes will be higher in the future, it will not be able to make up for the profit difference brought about by the output.

Similarly, there are many varieties of lotus root.To make stewed lotus root, you must choose the lotus root with a crisper taste, not the glutinous lotus root that is suitable for stewing soup.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, what do you think of this matter?" Father Zhao mentioned this matter again.

Uncle Zhao and Sanbo Zhao have a lot of trust in their brothers, and the purchase price given by Zhao's father can no longer be described as fair, it can be called generous.

Zhao's father bought from his brother at a price slightly higher than the retail price of the vegetable market. Coupled with the potential benefits of large-scale planting, as well as the savings in transportation and sales costs, it can still make his brother's profit per acre of land somewhat. promote.

But it was precisely because of the price Father Zhao proposed that made them hesitate.Can my second brother/second brother still make money at this price?

"The price you gave is too high."

"Not high, not high."

"Then do you need that much? It's too much."

Even now, one acre of small potatoes can produce more than 800 kilograms. Father Zhao actually proposed to plant all four acres of land with potatoes. Calculated by planting twice a year, it can produce 6000 kilograms a year.

Zhao's father smiled and said, "Don't worry, now we and Dazi's two stalls can sell 2 to 30 catties of potatoes every day. I am worried that if there are new chain stores in the future, this amount of potatoes will not be enough."

Although this was just a joke, it was something Zhao An had been thinking about.

Now the foundation for expanding the chain is in place, but there are no suitable candidates.

Is it necessary to let Zhao's father directly start attracting investment and opening a chain?Zhao An is still a little worried, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother still have too little understanding of business knowledge, Zhao An is particularly worried that Zhao's father and Zhao's mother will be cheated.

It will be a very troublesome thing if the company and trademark are registered first.But Zhao An didn't know how to explain it to his parents.

This is also the reason why Zhao An couldn't wait to jump a level, and wanted to have this knowledge without being weird in the eyes of the world.

Not to mention the registration of the company, even the two issues of fixed stores and urban household registration have not yet been resolved.Zhao An knows that there is a possibility of obtaining a non-agricultural household registration through the "agricultural to non-agricultural" policy, but some gray means need to be used in the process.

However, the three generations of Zhao An's family have no relationship in this regard, and they still need to think of a way.Zhao An was thinking secretly.

"It's a pity that you have a few acres of land." Grandpa Zhao said suddenly from the side, but Grandma Zhao pinched her arm immediately, and Grandpa Zhao fell silent immediately.

The land that Grandpa Zhao mentioned refers to the land allocated to Father Zhao. The soil is too barren and not suitable for farming at all.This is also an opportunity to prompt Zhao's father to enter the city.

Hearing his second son say that the land is not enough, and thinking that his second son is living well in Rongcheng now, Grandpa Zhao felt that his son should have let go, so he mentioned it.

However, Grandma Zhao knew how brooding her son was about this matter, so she pinched her wife.

Father Zhao's expression darkened when he heard this, but soon he relaxed again.Because he really had other ideas about his land.

Now that their own stewed chicken feet and minced chicken chili sauce are selling so well, Father Zhao naturally focused on the raw materials, thinking about whether it is necessary to raise broilers.

Some time ago, Father Zhao specially asked Zhao An to accompany him to the book store to buy several books on broiler breeding and transportation.

Zhao's father has a deep understanding of broiler chickens, especially white-feathered chickens. If a farm is established and the feed is strictly followed, the time for white-feathered chickens to be slaughtered will only take more than two months.

Compared with traditional native chickens and hybrid chickens, this has obvious advantages, and because of the existence of our own stewed vegetable stall, we don't have to worry about sales at all.

Chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken gizzards, chicken livers, chicken hearts... are all excellent stewed ingredients.General chicken with skin can be used to make cold salad, while chicken breast can be used to make minced chicken chili sauce.

When the village party secretary allocated the few acres of land to Zhao's father, there were no restrictions on the use of it.Although the soil is dry, the terrain is flat, with sufficient lighting and air circulation, so it can be used to build a breeding farm.

It's just that Father Zhao still has too many worries in his heart, and he hasn't been able to make up his mind.Hearing his father mention it at this time, Zhao's father said indifferently: "Who knows what's going on now, maybe some day these few acres of land will play a big role."
