Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 167 Unexpected news from Hong Kong businessmen

The next day, Li Yi got up at dawn!
Then, I made cool skin and baked white skin pancakes with my third sister Li Na!

In fact, as a folk snack and delicacy, whether it is cold skin or white skin pancake, there is no technical content. As long as someone is willing to teach, most people can get started within three days.

After this period of time, under Li Yi's step-by-step guidance, Li Na was able to make these two delicacies on her own!

However, Li Na knew that the cold skin she made was still inferior to that of her younger brother Li Yi.

If nothing else, the yield rate alone is much worse.

Although Liangpi is not difficult to learn, it is not easy to do it well.

Let's put it this way, a skilled chef not only makes dough that is very elastic, but also has more dough and less gluten.

Take Li Yi for example. With one pound of Fuqiang flour, he can make five pieces of dough and a small amount of gluten pieces.

The same cannot be said for Li Na. A pound of noodles only has a little more than four sheets, but there are more gluten chunks than her younger brother.

The difference is still huge. You must know that in the cold noodle business, the gluten pieces are given as gifts, and the amount of dough represents the profit.

In this way, the key is how many pieces of dough can be made from one pound of noodles.

Since this period of time is in the hot summer, it is also the best time for Liangpi business.

In addition, they also need to supply state-owned restaurants, so during this period, the Li family has to make one hundred kilograms of white flour cold skin every day.

This is a lot of work!
Even with Li Yi's help, the two of them still made it from 04:30 to 07:30, which took more than three hours.

Moreover, this requires kneading and proofing in advance. If it is made fresh, it will not be ready in three hours.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the two siblings left Nianzishan Village in a car and headed straight for the county seat.

When leaving the village, I met many villagers along the way. Everyone greeted Li Yi one after another, and Li Yi responded one by one.

When we arrived at the county seat, it was already 09:30.

Li Yi went to the state-owned hotel to deliver goods, while Li Na went straight to the entrance of the sugar factory.

The reason why we have to change places back and forth is mainly because the people in the county have limited spending power. Staying in one place often may affect sales.

Furthermore, some people may get tired of it after eating it every day, but they will feel fresh again after a few days.

All in all, it's all about sales.

Li Yi came to the state-owned hotel and happened to see Liu Jingshan standing at the door of the hotel. There was also a small jeep parked at the door, and several employees were loading something into the car.

After seeing Li Yi's big black carriage, Liu Jingshan immediately greeted him with a smile: "When I saw you coming back yesterday, I knew you would definitely come today. I guessed it right!"

Li Yi smiled, pointed to the employees who were loading things into the car and said, "Brother Liu, what are you doing?"

Liu Jingshan smiled and said, "Don't I be responsible for receiving distinguished guests? I didn't think of any new ideas, so I planned to give the distinguished guests a taste of our ice-cooked lamb and new barbecue."

"But there are no new pots like ours in the city, nor ovens like ours, so I plan to bring all the gadgets in the store to the city for emergency use!"

Li Yi looked at the dirty pots and ovens in the car, shook his head and said, "If you are really a distinguished guest, you'd better not use these kitchen utensils!"

"What?"

"Firstly, it's too dirty, and secondly, it's not high-end enough!" Li Yi said.

"This" Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I will draw you some new sets of kitchen utensils and tableware later. As for you, hurry up and find the best coppersmith and blacksmith in the county. You should be able to make it in time!"

"Really, thank you so much to Brother Li Yi!" Liu Jingshan said happily.

To be honest, when Liu Jingshan saw these greasy and dirty kitchen utensils in his store, he felt very dissatisfied.

You must know that this time they are hosting wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong Island, VIPs invited by the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau with great difficulty. It would be unreasonable to allow people to use such kitchen utensils.

But he couldn't help it. He had just come into contact with this new type of delicacy. Whether it was a pot for boiling sheep in ice or a special oven for barbecue, only he had it here, and he couldn't buy it elsewhere even if he had money. .

Fortunately, Li Yi is really upright and even agreed to design new kitchen utensils and new tableware for himself. This is really a good thing!

He knows Li Yi's ability. As long as he is willing to help, this matter will definitely be settled.

At that moment, he immediately asked other people in the store to help Li Yi unload and weigh the goods, while he personally brought Li Yi to the office and found paper and pen for him.

Li Yi knew that Liu Jingshan was anxious, so he was not polite at the moment.

He took the pen and paper and leaned on Liu Jingshan's desk to draw!
Although Li Yi has no painting skills, he can't stand his broad knowledge.

Whether it was the Mongolian-style copper pot here in Saibei Province, the Yuanyang pot in Sichuan and Chongqing, or the pots in the border areas, he had seen them all.

Although he definitely couldn't build it himself, it wouldn't be a big problem to draw it.

As for the oven, Li Yi simply drew the table oven of the Jiutian Barbeque Restaurant in his previous life. He thought that with the ability of the municipal government, these kitchen utensils should be produced.

In addition to kitchen utensils, Li Yi also upgraded the tableware. Instead of the commonly used bowls and chopsticks, scissors, tweezers, and knives and forks were added.

All in all, it doesn't cost his money to get something luxurious and upscale!

After a while, Li Yi drew all the kitchen utensils and tableware, and drew a dozen pages of drafts.

While drawing pictures, Li Yi was worried that his drawing skills would not be understood by the master craftsmen who made kitchen utensils, so he also included a lot of text explanations.

When he handed the "work" he made to Liu Jingshan, he was stunned.

Although these sketches are indeed average and somewhat arbitrary.

But with a text description, it can reflect the high-end atmosphere and class.

"Brother Li Yi, thank you so much. I'll treat you to a meal when you're done!" Liu Jingshan said excitedly.

"Hahaha, eating is a trivial matter. I hope Brother Liu can complete the task as soon as possible!"

"If it were before, I would only be [-]% sure, but with these design drawings of yours, I am [-]% more confident!" Liu Jingshan said.

"By the way, Brother Liu, are you hosting a distinguished guest? Why is it so grand?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"I heard from the leader that he is from Hong Kong Island and is a big boss with assets worth hundreds of millions!" Liu Jingshan said.

From Hong Kong Island, with assets worth hundreds of millions?
After hearing Liu Jingshan's words, Li Yi's mind immediately pictured a short, fat, middle-aged man and two bloody corpses!

If Li Yi's memory is correct, this distinguished guest from Hong Kong Island is named Huang Lixing, and he is a big boss in foreign trade business.

This trip to Saibei was the last stop in his life.

On the seventh day after he arrived in Saibei, he and his wife were killed in the hotel, causing a great sensation!
Thinking of this case and Wang Anguo who was about to take office in the municipal bureau, Li Yi couldn't help but frown!
