Chapter 12 The game business is expanding in an all-round way(1/2)
Author: Mahjong Jun
I originally had 60 yuan!
Today my second brother went to sell vegetables. He received 10 yuan from the state-owned hotel and 31 yuan from the family area of the sugar factory.
The total is only 101 yuan2!
Even the money for the wild boar is not enough!
"Dad, several uncles, pheasants, hares, and wild boars total 280 kilograms per tael, and the price is 7 cents per kilogram, which is 196 yuan and 7 cents."
"The fish weighs 54 kilograms in total, and the price is 50 cents per kilogram, which is 27 yuan. Altogether, it is 223 yuan and 7 cents."
Several old people did not expect to have so much money.
Occasionally they would go up the mountain to catch some prey, but they would only eat it for their own family, or the neighbors would secretly buy some for only two or three cents.
They are very satisfied if these things can be sold for a few dozen yuan.
"Sanwazi, do you really accept these things? Pay so much money?"
"Uncle Chen, I really want it. If you have any in the future, you can come and sell it to me."
After a pause, he continued:
"Uncles, this wild boar is too big today. I don't have that much money on hand. I will give you 100 yuan first, and I will give you the rest after I sell the goods tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"100 yuan is enough, these things are not valuable."
An old man waved his hand and said.
"That's not possible. It's as much as you want. Third child, are you sure you can give everyone money tomorrow?"
Zhao Xuehai said with a straight face. He had always had a stern look on his face ever since he saw Zhao Wenmu.
Zhao Wenmu knew that he was not only asking himself, but also reassuring everyone.
"Dad, don't worry, these game meats are all reserved by the big hotels in the city. I will deliver them to them tomorrow and they will pay me!"
He replied loudly.
"That's okay!", "Just give it to me tomorrow."
Several old people nodded and said.
Zhao Wenmu took out all the money, counted 100 yuan in front of everyone, and handed it to the eldest Uncle Chen.
Several old people were hunting together this time, so the money was naturally divided together.
The gray-haired Uncle Chen counted it twice and handed it to Zhao Xuehai to count it twice and confirm that it was OK.
"Our brothers will send everyone back, and we will make up for the remaining 123 yuan and 7 cents when we harvest game tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Zhao Wenmu, Zhao Wenguang and Zhao Wenyuan set off together.
Zhao Wenguang drove the Zhao Wenlin family's ox cart, carrying more than 300 kilograms of wild vegetables, directly to the family area of the sugar factory.
Zhao Wenyuan drove his own ox cart, carrying game and about 300 kilograms of wild vegetables, as well as Zhao Wenmu.
There is no way, Zhao Wenmu can't drive a bullock cart.
Zhao Wenmu and his wife first went to the state-owned hotel, unloaded the goods and collected the money, then went straight to the state-owned glass factory.
I also made an appointment with Li Guofu to come back and teach me how to cook game after selling all the wild vegetables.
This time the state-owned restaurant received 120 kilograms of wild vegetables.
The state-owned glass factory is located in the northeast of the city and covers a very large area. The family area borders the northeast corner of the old city.
In this junction area, the main residents are glass factory employees and their families, as well as the family members of employees of the state-owned cigarette factory.
The state-owned cigarette factory moved some of its production workshops farther out of the city at the beginning of the year, but employees' accommodation has not yet had time to follow.
It can be said that this is a market with a larger market size and higher consumption power.
The reason why I didn't choose this place at the beginning was because the staff here was more complicated.
From time to time, there are street gangsters wandering here, and the police pay much attention to this area and crack down a lot harder.
However, when the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, he already had some plans in mind.
On the first day he arrived in this new area, Zhao Wenmu only brought three items: shepherd's purse, bitter greens, and gray greens.
The state-owned hotel and the sugar factory run by the second brother have officially launched dandelion, mint, and toon buds today.
Among them, the first-crop toona buds are small in quantity and expensive, currently priced at RMB 1.2 per pound.
When it grows back, it will probably only cost two or three cents per pound.
There is nothing new under the sun.
The market at the glass factory is as popular as the market at the sugar factory.
The population here is more than three times that of the other side, and the income level is no worse than that of the sugar factory. The state-owned cigarette factory is the top income earner in Pingyang County.
Zhao Wenmu quickly opened up the situation and entered into the rhythm of weighing-collecting money-weighing-collecting money.
Zhao Wenyuan was also dumbfounded.
"Wenyuan, please watch carefully. I will leave it to you to sell in a while."
Zhao Wenyuan swallowed, his throat gurgling.
He nodded like garlic and responded loudly, "Yeah."
I was even more determined to follow Zhao Wenmu.
The two of them quickly sold out all the wild vegetables in the car. Zhao Wenmu did not collect money for the vegetables in advance this time. He shouted loudly to the crowd who had not bought any vegetables:
"We will come back at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Comrades who still want to eat wild vegetables, please remember to come and buy them tomorrow morning!"
On the way the two drove the ox cart back to the state-owned hotel, Zhao Wenmu asked Zhao Wenyuan:
"Ayuan, you have also seen how popular the sales of wild vegetables are, but I only give you and Erniu 3 yuan a day. Do you have any objections?"
Zhao Wenyuan immediately blushed, scratched his neck and said:
"Third brother, what are you talking about? You can earn 3 yuan a day by digging some wild vegetables. I never dared to think of such a good thing before! It's your ability to make more money. Just give me 3 yuan."
You're already taking care of me and Erniu, otherwise why wouldn't I see you looking for someone else!"
As expected, he is his brother, he knows how to be grateful and not suffer from pink eye.
Zhao Wenmu patted him on the shoulder.
"Ayuan, 3 yuan is just the beginning. Sooner or later, I will help you earn 30,300,3000 yuan a day!"
So what if you earn 30,000 yuan a day, it is only 10 million yuan a year. In his previous life, Zhao Wenyuan followed Zhao Wenmu and earned more than this amount!
"Well, Third Brother, I will definitely do it well!"
When he arrived at the state-owned hotel, Zhao Wenmu taught him a few ways to cook hare.
Li Guofu and others have many good recipes for crucian carp and carp. Sweet and sour carp is a famous local dish. Zhao Wenmu just discussed with them the mixing of sweet and sour sauce to make it taste better and sell better.
Zhao Wenmu recommends using stir-fried chicken or ground pot chicken for pheasant, which has a rich and warm flavor. These are also common dishes in Shandong cuisine.
In fact, he had some different methods, but considering that the pheasants in his hometown were almost extinct for a time and only slowly recovered after 2008, he decided to hide these recipes.
Pork is a mature way to eat, and wild boar is no exception. However, wild boar is more woody, difficult to chew and has some peculiar smell. He suggested introducing several spicy dishes based on conventional braised and braised pork.
It is not without reason that Sichuan cuisine became popular all over the country in later generations.
The spicy food makes people want to stop eating it. The spicier it is, the spicier it becomes. It can also block the peculiar smell of wild boar meat.
In addition, you can make soup. Wild Boar Guishen Decoction can nourish blood, regulate menstruation, and replenish qi. It is suitable for both young and old women.
The highlight is the hare. There are many wastelands in Pingyang County. After the environmental protection was strict, the hare became a disaster for a time. A lot of manpower and material resources were spent every year to hunt and kill the hare.
And artificial breeding of rabbits is not difficult.
Well, to sum it up, hares can withstand being eaten and will not become extinct.
Braised rabbit meat and stir-fried diced rabbit are all standard. Zhao Wenmu also taught a spicy rabbit dish.
As for the cold rabbit and spicy rabbit head, I plan to make them myself in the future and cannot teach them.
With this, Li Guofu was very satisfied.
Cooking is a matter of mastery. Zhao Wenmu seemed to only teach a few dishes, but he opened a door for them.
For example, a dish of spicy rabbit, can it also include spicy beef, spicy mutton, spicy rabbit, pepper rabbit, and then extend it to pepper beef and black pepper steak.
Once the door is open, the road is right in front of you, and there are endless possibilities.
In the past, due to limited vision, many chefs only knew local dishes and did not know that there were countless ways to prepare them across the country.
As economic and trade activities become more frequent and exchanges between places increase, new dishes will continue to emerge.
It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that China after 1980 has undergone tremendous changes unseen in five thousand years!
Li Guofu has already foreseen the popularity of the new dishes.
He immediately decided that the state-owned restaurants would accept all game meat sent by Zhao Wenmu from now on.
