Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1710 Friends Everywhere

"Zigong, look at the matsutake I picked!" Matsui Zao said proudly, waving a large matsutake in one hand, "It turns out that all the mushrooms here are really wild!"

"Neither Matsutake nor Chicken Mushroom can be cultivated artificially, and the same goes for the ones from your Mount Fuji." Zhou Zhi was speechless. The knowledge field of scientists in science and engineering is often very limited. They are deep but not broad. If they leave their profession, they are no better than an illiterate person.

"I want to cook the matsutake mushrooms I picked myself!" Matsui Zao treasures the fruits of his labor: "Elbow, take down my camera, and take a picture for me first!"

"Remember to get pumpkin leaves and let the kids teach you how to wash mushrooms!" Zhou Zhi smiled and took the camera off Matsui's neck.

There were so many mushrooms that almost every kid had 10 to 20 pounds in his backpack. Zhou Zhi didn't distinguish between varieties and paid one yuan per pound by weighing them. He also gave each person one yuan and asked them to wash the mushrooms. He was only responsible for cutting them.

Cut small ones into slices and large ones into strips, then deep-fry them in a pan over low heat.

A large pot of mushrooms shrunk by 70% after more than an hour. They were taken out, let cool and put into a transfer bucket, while new ones were fried here.

After frying three pots of mushrooms, the mushroom oil is ready. Scoop it into a large bowl to cool, pour in cold vegetable oil and boil it again, and the new pot of oil can be used for frying again.

After this operation, more than two or three hundred kilograms of mushrooms are turned into about 40 kilograms of fried dried mushrooms and 50 kilograms of mushroom oil, which are divided into five 20-kilogram transfer barrels and can be shipped after a few weeks.

Such mushroom oil can be stored for a year without any problems, which solves the problem of mushrooms being difficult to handle in season, resulting in a lot of waste.

"That's a good idea." Brother Dayong came in at some point and looked at the bustling kitchen. "We can build such processing workshops in various places, and then we can process the mushroom sauce in the factory. This way, it can be stored at room temperature, saving a lot of cold storage space."

Zhou Zhi gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's different when you're a capitalist. You're always thinking about costs."

"Nonsense!" Brother Dayong laughed and said, "The processing specifications are strict and must meet the requirements of the group. Your large-scale wood stove will definitely not work. It must be a stainless steel electric processing workshop. You know your sister Xiaojuan'er and your eldest aunt are... mysophobes."

"But the mushroom season is only two or three months a year." Zhou Zhi asked: "What should we do with the remaining three seasons? Will the equipment be idle? Can it be used next year?"

"It's a bit troublesome." Brother Dayong was stumped and scratched his forehead.

"What does the group do?" Zhou Zhi asked, "For similar equipment."

"The group has a great demand for meat sauce and dried tofu." Brother Dayong is quite familiar with the company's business: "The low-temperature frying equipment is mainly used to process these two items, which are used as ingredients for spicy sauce."

"That's easy," Zhou Zhi said, "Then we can also fry beef paste, and in the future we can also fry small fried chicken!"

"Are you planning to stay here for a long time?" Brother Dayong was a little confused: "Didn't you say you were here to study? Why do you seem to be busy with other things all day long?"

"Brother Dayong, I don't know if you have heard this before." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Knowledge of the world is knowledge, and understanding of human nature is writing. I do these things, which does not affect my studies, but if I don't do these, I may not be able to continue my studies. Don't you understand this?"

"I don't understand. You literati have too many twists and turns." Brother Dayong muttered, "Xiaojuan'er said that it's best for someone like you to be born in your own family. It would make people unhappy if you were born in someone else's family." "I'll take it as a compliment from Sister Xiaojuan'er." Zhou Zhi held the spatula with a frown on his face.

Of course, we can’t use all of these mushrooms to fry mushroom oil, so making a mushroom feast is a must.

The second banquet was made of braised beef liver with pork belly, stir-fried black beef liver with garlic slices and green peppers, stir-fried meat with shiitake mushrooms, chicken mushroom and pork slice soup, and the remaining various green chanterelles, together with the leftover mutton from yesterday, made into a big pot of stew.

As for the Matsutake mushrooms, it is better to follow the method in the state. The Yi people’s Guozhuang barbecue is more authentic, especially suitable for grilling Matsutake mushrooms and tofu buns.

This time, the tofu buns are no longer Jianshui tofu buns. Instead, they are made with tofu skin made by Gillette Abi himself, wrapped with vegetables, green pepper shreds, shiitake mushrooms, pork belly shreds, and freshly fried dried mushrooms. The taste is simply overwhelming.

Even Zhou Zhi couldn't enjoy this dish before, but now he nodded his head repeatedly after eating it: "This is definitely worth recommending to the chefs in Shudu, it's amazing!"

Matsui-zo still prefers grilled matsutake, but this dish completely hits Kim Chun-il's sore spot. He eats until his mouth is full of oil. While eating, he wipes the sweat and keeps muttering: "How expensive is this dish in Seoul? 50,000 yuan per dish at least."

The exchange rate of the Korean won is a bit exaggerated. Now it is basically 800 won to one US dollar, and more than 100 won to one RMB. 50,000 won sounds exciting, but in fact it is only 500 yuan.

Moreover, we cannot compare it with the current domestic purchasing power. They are now the four little dragons that have already taken off, and an ordinary family can barely afford a dish of 500 yuan.

"So in order to allow the people of both countries to eat delicious wild mushrooms, I'll have to ask you two to take care of the cold chain terminal." Zhou Zhi raised his glass. Brother Dayong had learned his lesson from this meal. The high-proof corn wine was too strong, so he changed to drinking wine soaked in water.

"There are so many good things here." Matsuizo held up the glass and said, "If this wine can be clarified to be transparent, I think it will sell well in our country."

"This process doesn't seem complicated. Beer and wine seem to have this process?" Zhou Zhi said, "I also have friends in the wine industry in XJ. I'll ask them when the time comes."

"How come you have friends everywhere?" Wu Renzhong felt that Zhou Zhi was amazing. How could he know everyone at such a young age? It would take him a long time to make friends.

"Brother Dayong should know this." Zhou Zhi said, "Liu Damao of Yilite has lived up to everyone's expectations and finally listed the company."

"Oh, yes. I remembered it when you mentioned that." Brother Dayong was probably the type who didn't care much about the group's affairs. "It seemed that our group also participated in the share expansion financing at that time..."

This incident is enough to prove that the world is a makeshift team. When Yilitte first raised funds through IPO, it even raised funds from a printing factory in Jingyang, which was acquired by An Ran's cousin. An Ran was puzzled by the feedback from his subordinates, and then Liu Damao boasted that he knew Zhou Zhi. After Zhou Zhi called to confirm, he knew about this matter.

In the end, Zhou Zhi came forward through AXA Fund and spent nearly 10 million to get 7 million shares. The 10 million included part of Zhou Zhi's funds, and the rest came from Jin'an Group and Zhou Liuniang Group.

When Zhou Zhi mentioned that he met Liu Damao when he went to XJ to look for jade, Wu Renzhong finally realized, "No wonder you sent the stone to Suzhou Jade Carving Factory a few days ago. It turns out that this is how you met!"

"By the way, Elbow, have you identified those flints?" Old Chi Ri was quite worried: "You have already collected two rooms. If they are not valuable, you will lose a lot!"

"It's not a big loss, just a few hundred kilograms of corn wine." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "The certificate from Capital University of Geosciences has come out, confirming that it is agate, which means that there is no guarantee of loss."
