Chapter 493 Pickled sauerkraut, making kimchi

This leisurely life went smoothly, and Liu Fugui counted his fingers looking forward to the Spring Festival.

The big black and white eye circles seem to be really tired of staying here, and want to explore the scenery outside.

I came back in the middle of the night that day. It was fine to see the scenery, but the food and drinks outside were definitely not as good as those at home.The vegetables, hay and beans in their food bowls were eaten up by them.

And for so many days to come, in the morning, as usual, they pulled their necks and yelled, and then the two donkeys walked down again.That is the real freedom, living a happy and happy world of two people.

For this matter, Liu Fugui is also powerless.Who bought them in the first place?If you want them to fail, you have to feed them as uncles.

"Fugui, the cabbage and radish have been in the sun for so many days. Should we pickle the vegetables?" Just after breakfast, Zhang Zhu looked for it.

"Brother Zhuzi, do you think we should just pickle sauerkraut or also get some pickles? Anyway, we don't have a lot of radishes, and it will take a lot of trouble to sell them."

Zhang Zhu laughed, "You're the boss, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, there are a lot of big buckets you bought back, so you have to keep warm, otherwise the food will definitely not taste good if it freezes."

Liu Fugui nodded, "I ordered some straw curtains and quilts, and it shouldn't be a problem to wrap them up by then. Then let's take care of this matter today, and I will see what processes are required to make kimchi .”

The production of cabbage has increased this year. Although it can be sold in restaurants and supermarkets, what about next year?There will be more production next year, and it will be difficult to sell all of these two places alone.

It is necessary to find a new market for these radishes and cabbage, and process them into finished products, so that the road will be more spacious.

Pickling sauerkraut, for the people in Lijiagou, this job is a matter of pinching.In previous years, some people would pickle some at home. In winter, it is stewed like this, and it is not greasy when eaten hot.

Du Niang is really powerful. Liu Fugui just took a few glances and found out a variety of ways to make kimchi.

Originally, he thought that there would be some unique secret recipe for the yellow radish in Korean dramas, otherwise why would the radish be so yellow?In fact, this is really very simple.

A lazy way, just get some turmeric powder, and the radish will naturally be colored.For a more refined method, you can use gardenia.Gardenia is white, and gardenia is its fruit, which is sold in this pharmacy.After crushing and boiling, the soup can color the radish.

I haven't studied these before, and I really don't know much about this.Now Liu Fugui was so excited that he decided to do it himself in the matter of making kimchi.

He took Lele to the county for a little shopping, not only bought gardenia, but also bought some chili noodles.

When he watched Korean dramas, it seemed that the kimchi was covered with red patches.When he was in the restaurant, he also ate it. It didn't seem very spicy, but it looked like a lot.

Normal kimchi may have to be cut and cooled, and then some other processes will be done. When it comes to Liu Fugui, it is directly simplified.

He firmly believes that whether kimchi is good or not depends on the raw material on the one hand, and on the other hand it must be the soup from which the kimchi is made.I have beads in my belly, although this is the first time I do this job, but the beads are so magical, there should be nothing wrong with it.

Gardenia asked him to smash it with a hammer, and then boiled a big pot.The big guys on the other side also peeled the long white radishes, and now they are all bare barcodes in the big bucket.

To say that it is serious to make kimchi, the cost is really high.As far as salt is concerned, it is a large expenditure.Although you don't use it very much, but this thing is expensive.

Usually you buy a small bag for home use, it seems to last for a long time.But if you switch to pickles and sauerkraut, where is the small bag enough?Not to mention, Liu Fugui still uses the same big buckets as he used to raise fish.

Basically, half a bag of the big bag has to be sprinkled into each bucket. This is just an experiment, and the taste will have to be adjusted next year.

The only thing he can save here is sugar, which is also used to make kimchi.But the cabbage in his family has a sweet taste, so this can be omitted.Pickled radishes need to be used, and relatively speaking, they save a lot.

Little Lele, who is still very interested in this little activity, stood on a small stool and instructed Liu Fugui to pour gardenia juice on the radishes.

In fact, in the little guy's heart, he really wanted to secretly taste what this juice tasted like.The color looks good, and the taste should not be bad.

It's just that Liu Fugui discovered it in time, so the little guy didn't have a chance to attack.Now I can only look forward to the juice and sigh, I have to wait until the radish is pickled in the future, and then taste the taste.

Liu Fugui had just sprinkled a layer on this side, and the big white radish with his clothes off on the other side was brought over again.

"Fu Gui, are you sure you'll succeed if you're salted?" Li Fengjiu asked curiously.

"I think other people pickle it, it's just an ordinary radish. It's not so troublesome to use it. Just sprinkle salt and it's done. You have a lot of ingredients, and the cost will be very high at that time."

"It's okay, there aren't many radishes this year, except for stewing, these white radishes are good to pickle in a big bucket." Liu Fugui said with a smile.

"Next year, the planting scale of cabbage and radishes will be much larger, and you have to go to the snacks to see if you can find a new market for our radish and cabbage."

"Fugui, I still have to take care of this job?" Li Fengjiu asked a little puzzled.

"That's not true. Here, the able ones work harder, and they have to wear several jobs." Liu Fugui said while throwing salt.

"Anyway, you have a lot of people. If we really make this pickle in the future, I plan to get some more mountain land on the back mountain side, and then put the bucket in the forest, and then it will be used for pickling pickles."

"Although the sales volume of radish and cabbage looks good now, it is still much smaller than the area we will plant in the future. In the coming year, we will plant at least tens of acres of each kind. You can say that such an output can be digested by supermarkets and restaurants alone." Is it?"

Li Fengjiu nodded, "It's really disgusting, but the radish and cabbage are not so easy to sell."

"Normal people buy ordinary radish and Chinese cabbage, which is the kind that costs five or six cents a catty in the market. You are selling it cheaply, which is a loss. After making kimchi, there are labor costs and raw material costs. It’s even worse to sell it cheap.”

"Fugui, tell me, how about we sell these kimchi to Bangzi? They have kimchi every time they eat, so there should be a lot of sales there, right?"

"And I heard that a few years ago, their cabbage was sold like crazy. The price of your cabbage now is incomparable with theirs. A cabbage costs 80 yuan."

"This is indeed a direction. We can study it when we have time, but we have to be careful. Bangzi's work is not very authentic." Liu Fugui thought for a while and said.

"It seems that the cabbage can be sold alive in those one or two years? The people who dumped the cabbage later suffered a lot. And those who dumped the garlic, didn't they say that they shouldn't be cheated? Just let you put the garlic in the warehouse and it will all rot. .”

Doing business is actually a risky thing.Especially when doing business with foreigners, the risks here will be even greater.

You can see that the territory occupied by the stick is not very large, and each of them has a poor mind, as if the whole earth cannot accommodate them.

As for the matter of cabbage and garlic, it was Liu Fugui who chatted with everyone and heard about it when he was working part-time.It was quite noisy at the time, but what happened afterwards?It's not over yet.Because that is their home field, they can rub you whatever they want.

You can indeed appeal, sue and so on.But can those garlic on the pier wait for you to chat slowly?It's all rotten, and then it's a mess.

Now he can be regarded as half a businessman. The reason why he is said to be half is because the people who do business with him are all his friends and will not cheat him on this.

But what about the other people?You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.Not to mention going abroad to do business, even in China, you have to be vigilant, if you are not careful, you will be tricked into blood.

But I have to say that Li Fengjiu's suggestion is quite good.Whether this business can be done is one aspect. It is undeniable that this is a good way.

"Brother Feng Jiu, you can really think about this matter carefully. See if any of your friends are engaged in this kind of business. I will also talk to Brother Zhao and the others later, looking for capable people in this field." Liu Fugui continued.

"However, they pickle the kimchi at home. Laymen like us pickle the pickles, can they get the taste right? Maybe I'm worried that we can only digest it ourselves."

Li Fengjiu scratched his scalp, "Who knows, I think it depends on the taste of your pickles, right? I don't want to say anything else, anyway, your cabbage and radishes are good, so I don't think the taste is bad."

"But don't expect too much from me for this matter. Although I know a lot of people, there is no one who does this kind of business. You'd better let Boss Zhao and the others work harder, they can have a lot of people. "

If it is to talk about this matter with others, Li Fengjiu can take care of everything.Anyway, whether it will be successful or not is another matter, at least the scene must be supported.

But Liu Fugui's business here is not someone else's business, he is still begging for life with Liu Fugui.Don't say you don't drink anymore, even if you drink, you don't dare to speak big words.

How much will the yield of dozens of acres of cabbage and radish be in the coming year?If it can be sold, Liu Fugui can earn several million.

This kind of business is definitely a super big business, he dare not be careless about such a matter, otherwise he will not be able to hold his head up in the village in the future.

Liu Fugui nodded, but didn't say anything.Anyway, it's still early, at least I have to see how the radish and cabbage taste after I finish making kimchi.

Anyway, he didn't dare to make too much sauerkraut today, because the cabbage is sweet, and he was afraid that the pickled cabbage would taste bad.
