493 Pickled sauerkraut, make kimchi
This leisurely life was very smooth, and Liu Fugui checked his fingers and looked forward to the Spring Festival.
Dada's black and white circles seemed to be really tired of staying here, wanting to explore the scenery outside.
I came back in the middle of the night that day, and I could see the scenery, but the food and drink outside were definitely not as good as at home. The vegetables, hay and beans placed in their bowls were eaten up by them.
Moreover, in the past few days, I pulled my neck and shouted as usual in the morning, and then the two donkeys walked down. It was true freedom and living a happy and happy world of two people.
Liu Fugui was also powerless about this matter. Who asked him to buy them? If you want them to be pulled or not, you have to keep them as old men.
"Fugui, the cabbage and radish have been drying for so many days. Should we pickle vegetables?" Just after breakfast, Zhang Zhu came over.
"Brother Zhuzi, do you think we just pickle sauerkraut or make some pickles? Anyway, we don't have many radishes, so it's a cumbersome to sell."
Zhang Zhu laughed, "You are the boss, you can do whatever you say. Anyway, there are many big buckets I bought, so I have to keep warm, otherwise the food will taste bad if it is frozen."
Liu Fugui nodded, "I ordered some straw curtains and quilts. It should be fine if I have a good surround. Then we will take care of this matter today. I will see what the process will be required for making kimchi."
This year, the production of cabbage has increased. Although it can be delivered to restaurants and supermarkets for sale, what about next year? The production will be more next year, and it will be difficult to sell all of these two places alone.
You have to find new sales channels for these carrots and cabbages and process them into finished products, so that the path can be more spacious.
For people in Lijiagou, pickling sauerkraut is a matter of pinching hands. In previous years, I would pickle some at home. In winter, I would stew it like this and eat it hot and not greasy.
The dog lady is really strong. Liu Fugui just took a few simple glances and found a variety of ways to make kimchi.
Originally, he thought that yellow radishes like the ones in Korean dramas would have any unique secret recipe, otherwise how could they make the radishes so yellow? In fact, this is really very simple.
For lazy people, just make some turmeric powder, and the radish will naturally be colored. For more exquisite methods, just use gardenia. Gardenia is white, and gardenia is its fruit. This medicine shop sells it. After being crushed and boiled, the soup can make the radish color.
I haven't studied these before, and I really don't know much about this. Now Liu Fugui is in a big mood and decides to take action on making kimchi himself.
I took Lele to the county to buy some small shopping, and not only bought gardenia, but also some chili noodles.
When he watched Korean dramas, it seemed that the pickle was full of red. He had eaten it in the restaurant, but it didn't seem very spicy, but it looked a lot.
For normal kimchi, you may have to cut it into cool down and then do some other steps. When it comes to Liu Fugui, it will be simplified directly.
He firmly believed that whether kimchi is good or not is the ingredients of pickled kimchi on one hand, and on the other hand, he had to pickled kimchi soup. He had beads in his stomach. Although this was the first time he did this job, the beads were so magical and there should be no problem.
Gardenia asked him to smash it with a hammer and then boiled a large pot. On the other hand, the big guy also peeled the long white radish, and now they were all bare barcodes in a big bucket.
If you want to make kimchi seriously, the cost is really high. Just salt is a big expense. Although you don’t use it too much, this thing is expensive.
Usually, you buy a small bag of it and it seems that it can be used for a long time. But if you change it to pickled pickled cabbage, what is the small bag enough? Not to mention, Liu Fugui uses the same big bucket as he raises fish.
Basically, half a bag of large bags has to be sprinkled into every bucket. This is just an experiment. What will the taste be like then? It will be adjusted next year.
The only thing he can save is sugar, and he has to use sugar to make kimchi. However, his cabbage is sweet, so it is not necessary. He has to use some pickled radish, which is relatively saving a lot.
Children Lele were still very interested in this small activity. They stood on a small stool and directed Liu Fugui to pour gardenia juice on the radish.
In fact, in the little guy's heart, he really wanted to secretly taste what the juice tasted. It looks very good in color, and the taste should not be bad.
However, Liu Fugui discovered it in time, so the little guy had no chance to start. Now he could only sigh and wait until the radish is marinated in the future and then taste what flavor is.
Liu Fugui had just sprinkled a layer on his side, and the big white radish that had taken off his clothes on the other side was sent over again.
"Fugui, can you be so pickled?" Li Fengjiu asked curiously.
"I think others pickle it, just ordinary radish, so it's not so troublesome to use it. Just sprinkle salt and do it. You have a lot of ingredients, and the cost will be high at that time."
"It's okay, there are not many radishes this year. Apart from keeping them for stewing, these white radishes are just right to pickle in a large bucket." Liu Fugui said with a smile.
"The planting scale of cabbage and radish will be much larger next year. You have to have snacks to see if you can find new sales for our radish cabbage."
"Fugui, I still have to care about this job?" Li Fengjiu asked with some confusion.
"That's not. We are the capable people here who work hard and have to hold multiple jobs." Liu Fugui said while sprinkling salt.
"Anyway, you have a lot of people. If our kimchi is really done in the future, I will plan to make some more mountains on the back mountain and put the bucket in the forest, so that I can use it specifically to pickle kimchi."
"Although the sales of radish and cabbage look good now, it is still much smaller than the area we will plant in the future. Each type will have to be planted at least a few dozen acres next year. Do you think that such yields can be digested by supermarkets and restaurants?"
Li Fengjiu nodded, "It's really hard, but these carrots and cabbages are not that easy to sell."
"Normal people buy ordinary radish, cabbage, which is the type that costs 50 or 60 cents per pound on the market. If you sell it cheaply, you will lose money. If you make kimchi, you will have labor costs and raw material costs. If you sell it cheaply, you will lose money even if you sell it cheaply."
"Fugui, you said, how about we sell these kimchi to the side of the stick? They have kimchi every meal, so the sales there should be quite wide, right?"
"And I heard that the cabbage they had sold was crazy a few years ago. The price of cabbage now is incomparable to the ones they have. A cabbage is 180 yuan."
"This is indeed the same direction. We can study it when we take time, but we have to be careful. The things on the side of Bangzi are not very authentic." Liu Fugui thought for a while and said.
"It seems that cabbage can be sold for only one or two years, right? Later, people who bought cabbage will lose a lot. And those who bought garlic, don't they say they shouldn't be cheated? Just let you keep the garlic in the warehouse, and it will all be rotten."
Doing business is actually a risky thing. Especially when doing business with foreigners, the risk here will be greater.
Look, the area occupied by the Bangzi is not very large, and each one is not very thoughtful, just as if the entire earth cannot accommodate them.
Just the cabbage and garlic matter, Liu Fugui was talking to everyone when he was working. He was very troubled at that time, but what happened later? It was still in vain. Because there was someone’s home court there, he would rub you as much as he wanted.
You can really declare, sue, or something. But can the garlic placed on the dock wait for you to chat slowly? It’s all broken, and then it’s a mess.
Now he is considered half a businessman. The reason why he is half is because the people who do business with him are his friends and will not cheat him on it.
But what about the people around you? You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be careful. Needless to say, you should do business abroad. Even in China, you have to be vigilant, and you will be deceived if you are not careful.
But I have to say that Li Fengjiu’s suggestion is also quite good. Whether this transaction can be completed is one aspect, and it is undeniable that this is a good way.
"Brother Fengjiu, you can really think about this matter carefully. See if there are any of your friends who do trade in this area. I will talk to Brother Zhao and the others to find talented people in this area." Liu Fugui continued.
"However, they all pickle kimchi at home. Can we laymen pickle them right? Maybe I'm worried that we can only digest them by ourselves."
Li Fengjiu scratched her scalp, "Who knows, I think it depends on how pickled you are? No one else said that your cabbage and radish are good anyway, and I think the taste will not be bad either."
"But don't count on me too much in this matter. Although I know a lot of people, how can there be people doing such business? You should let Boss Zhao and the others work harder, their number will be wider."
If you are talking to others about this, Li Fengjiu can take on a lot of work. Anyway, it’s another matter of whether it will succeed or not. At least it has to support the scene.
But Liu Fugui is not someone else's business, and he is still making a living with Liu Fugui. Not to mention not drinking anymore, even if he drinks, he will not dare to speak loudly.
How much will the output of dozens of acres of cabbage and radish in the next year? If it can be sold, Liu Fugui will make millions of dollars.
Such a deal is definitely a super big deal. He dare not be careless about such a thing, otherwise he would not be able to raise his head in the village in the future.
Liu Fugui nodded and said nothing. Anyway, it was still early, so at least he had to see how the taste of these radish and cabbage after making kimchi.
