Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 251 New Technologies

Yangjiawan Village Potato Flour Factory currently produces two types of flour, wet flour and dry flour. The wet flour is mainly supplied to hot pot restaurants in the county.

The dry powder is mainly wholesaled to the major non-staple food stores in Qingjiang County. The township market opened by the old cadre baijiu before has played a very good role.

The quality of the vermicelli produced by the vermicelli factory is excellent. Although the price is a little bit higher, it is still liked by many purchasers.

The dry powder produced by the vermicelli factory uses Jinliyuan food additive produced in Shandong. It is the only vermicelli food additive on the market that meets the QS certification, that is, the "National Industrial Product Production License" that can replace alum.

The vermicelli produced have excellent chewiness, toughness, and elasticity.

The wet powder is directly supplied to the restaurant. Yang Zhenyu did not allow the workers to add any food additives, but adopted the patented technology of Wesfarmers University, using the low-temperature aging method combined with the unique fresh-keeping technology to produce a soup with a low breaking rate and no muddy cooking. High-quality alum-free wet potato vermicelli with good elasticity and bright white color.

Yang Zhenyu seasoned it himself, and tasted the first wet noodles produced by the vermicelli factory.

The taste is smooth, full of elasticity, and the mouthfeel is very good.

Another advantage of Wesfarmers' patent is that it has a long shelf life. It can be stored for 3 months under normal temperature conditions, which is longer than those wet vermicelli with additives such as alum. It is hygienic and safe.

Zhou Xingsheng, as the head of catering in Qingjiang County, will definitely choose the best ingredients to protect his brand name.

The wet potato vermicelli produced in Yangjiawan Village has won his affection.

At the internal meeting of the Qingjiang County Hot Pot Association, Zhou Xingsheng gave Yang Zhenyu a lot of face, and publicly announced that he would change the supplier of vermicelli, and gave Yang Zhenyu the list of vermicelli needed by the hot pot restaurant under his catering company.

Zhou Xingsheng said: "Everyone, although there are some personal feelings between me and Yang Zhenyu, this is not the reason for me to stand up and support him without hesitation."

He turned around and waved at the chef.

The chef brought up a serving of boiled potato vermicelli.

Zhou Xingsheng spread his hands and said, "Try it, everyone. After you taste it, you will know why I use his product."

The big bosses of several hot pot restaurants tried it.

Zhou Xingsheng asked: "How do you feel?"

"Both elastic and tough."

"The color also looks very comfortable, smooth and transparent, and of high quality."

"Old Zhou, I don't understand one thing. If no food additives are added, how can it become so resilient?"

The broken rate of vermicelli production has always been a long-standing problem. The traditional method is to add alum in it, which has a strong astringent effect, can improve the toughness and elasticity of vermicelli, and the color will also become very beautiful. This is a chemical additive. common features presented.

However, alum contains aluminum ions, and excessive inhalation will affect the absorption of calcium, iron and other components by the human body, resulting in osteoporosis, anemia and even affecting the development of nerve cells.

The "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" clearly stipulates that alum cannot be added to vermicelli products.

However, many small workshops and individual producers still use the traditional method, adding alum, so that the molding is faster and the effect is more direct.

Qingjiang County Hot Pot Catering Association has the responsibility to supervise the hygiene and safety of hot pot restaurants. As the chairman, Zhou Xingsheng has been looking for safer suppliers. The new technology of Yangjiawan Village came at the right time.

Zhou Xingsheng said: "Let Yang Zhenyu explain the principle to you."

Yang Zhenyu smiled and said: "Bosses, our village and Wesfarmers University jointly established a Shengyuan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. After research by the company's technical staff, they discovered a method of low-temperature aging and special fresh-keeping technology, and produced the products before you. This high quality potato vermicelli doesn't have any added.

The relevant technology has applied for a patent and is a commercial secret.

But I can assure everyone here that it is very safe to eat the wet potato flour produced in our village, and we have maximized the nutritional value of potato flour.

The only possible downside is the high price. "

The owners of the hotpot restaurants present nodded their heads, and their worries were gradually dispelled when they heard about Wesfarmers University and the Agricultural Science and Technology Company.

As for the price, they know better than anyone in this business.

市场上纯土豆粉零售价15～18不等，还有超过20的，批发价也在12～15之间。

Potatoes with low starch content can generally produce a catty of starch from 7 to 10 catties, and a catty of starch is processed into vermicelli, and the flour yield is basically 95%. If the technology is advanced and the technology is mature, it can also reach 100%. A catty of starch yields a catty of vermicelli.

So the price is high is inevitable.

What's more, the vermicelli brought by Yang Zhenyu uses new technology, and the production cost will be higher.

The owner of the hot pot restaurant has a good opinion in his heart and knows where the price is high.

But in fact, the production cost of wet vermicelli in Yangjiawan Village is not as high as they imagined.

One is because the starch content of the potatoes in the back mountains far exceeds the starch content of the local potatoes in Qingjiang County. Basically, about 6 catties of potatoes can produce a catty of starch. Calculated according to the price of potatoes in Qingjiang County at 2.2 yuan per kilogram, it has already saved A lot of cost.

On the other hand, when Shengyuan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. was established, the contract stipulated the power of patent sharing. Yangjiawan Village can copy it and use it during production. There is no need to pay patent fees, which also saves costs.

The reason why Yang Zhenyu set the price high is to improve the quality of vermicelli and differentiate it from those vermicelli with additives in the market, so as to gain market competitiveness.

Zhou Xingsheng finally added: "There are more than [-] hotpot restaurants, large and small, in Qingjiang County, and everyone here today can be regarded as the benchmark of Qingjiang County's hotpot industry.

I hope to continue to make this pie bigger with you. Those stores that do not meet the industry's hygiene standards must be eliminated. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to food hygiene and safety, and keep their own signs. "

On the one hand, Zhou Xingsheng's words were talking about principles and rules, and on the other hand, he was helping Yang Zhenyu in disguise.

In the hot pot industry in Qingjiang County, they all regard Zhou Xingsheng as the boss of the industry, and he is also the most famous hot pot restaurant. The competition pressure faced by others is not small, and they can get a piece of cake under such a big competitive pressure. All the people in the world know a truth and follow the trend.

If the hot pot industry in Qingjiang County is going to change, it must be a major cleaning from the aspects of food hygiene and service level.

At today's meeting, Zhou Xingsheng wanted to express his opinion.

Several big bosses present echoed and agreed with Zhou Xingsheng's point of view, and at the same time expressed their willingness to order to Yang Zhenyu.

After the meeting, Yang Zhenyu went up to thank Zhou Xingsheng. Zhou Xingsheng smiled and said, "There is no need to thank you for business matters. I can only help you in the county. The city is in dire straits, so you need to go out on your own."

Yang Zhenyu heard another meaning from his words, and asked concerned, "Brother Zhou, is your investment in the city not going well?"
