Chapter 79 Packaging
With the help of Zhao Xiaoman, Su Zi made this pot of green dumplings very quickly, and he vaguely felt that the quality was better than making it alone.
It must be an illusion... hmm!
Su Zi comforted herself while wrapping it in plastic wrap.
The green dough ball in hand is green, small and exquisite. Because Zhao Xiaoman did all the work of kneading the dough and wrapping the fillings, it looks more delicate than just now.
It's so small that you can finish it in just two bites.
It's just right as a gift.
There was no suitable container in the store, but fortunately the stores on the street that delivered the dumplings were familiar with each other. Su Zi simply put eight dumplings in a package, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and tied them with string to wrap them up.
"What, do you have something to say?" Seeing Zhao Xiaoman hesitate to speak, Su Zi opened his mouth and asked.
"Do you need help? Or do you plan to deliver it all at once?"
Zhao Xiaoman's words suddenly made Su Zifang realize.
Although there are not many stores to deliver to, they are scattered at both ends of the street. If you go from door to door to deliver, it will also take a long time.
"Then trouble Xiaoman, you are on the left and I am on the right. I will come back after sending it off."
"Okay." Zhao Xiaoman nodded.
"Yang Qiong, please help me change the billboard later. Let me tell you that starting from next week we can sell Youth League. Write down these flavors and let them vote. We will sell the one with the most votes."
"It's better to package and sell several flavors. You will always get tired of a single flavor, but if there are several flavors in a box, you can also eat different flavors. Maybe someone will buy a few boxes specially." Yang Qiong analyzed.
road.
"Well, it makes sense, then I'll do as you say."
After Su Zifang settled in, he carried the Qingtuan ball and went out.
The first stop is the supermarket.
Wang Fugui was lying on the couch and shaking the cattail leaf fan. When he saw Su Zi put it in the door, he was a little surprised: "Hey, why did Boss Su come to buy things in person today? Are you not afraid of miscalculation?"
Although the words were said harshly, they were spoken with a teasing smile, which made Su Zifang quite helpless.
"Uncle Fugui, I'm not going to buy anything today. I made some green dumplings for you to try."
Su Zifang handed over a packet of green dumplings.
"It's still wrapped in lotus leaves. It's very interesting." Wang Fugui untied the hemp rope and revealed the eight green dumplings inside.
"What flavor is it?" Wang Fugui picked one up and asked.
"You'll know after you taste it." Su Zifang did not say it directly, waiting to see Wang Fugui's feedback.
After all, the old Shanghainese loves sweets, so I really don’t know if this salty green dumpling will suit his appetite.
"Hmm? Meat filling?" Wang Fugui took away the green dumpling he had bitten and glanced at it, then said calmly: "Egg yolk bacon?"
"That's right, how about it?" Su Zifang grinned.
"It's okay."
"No problem?" Su Zifang didn't hear Wang Fuguishang's words and felt a little uncomfortable?
"I really want to hear it, then let me tell you."
"The Qingtuan itself can be either salty or sweet, but your ingredients are too overwhelming, like glutinous rice buns. Or more like Cantonese pastries." Wang Fugui showed the unique tongue-tied attribute of old Shanghainese.
Su Zifang recalled the process of preparing the stuffing. It seemed that this was really the case, and he nodded in thanks.
"Try to make it lighter and make the green dumplings and fillings lighter in taste. Would it be better?" Wang Fugui said and put the lotus leaves aside. The seven round green dumplings inside were still green.
"Thank you, Uncle Fugui."
Su Zi thanked him, wrote down Wang Fugui's suggestion, and went to the next shop.
Shen Anyan was cutting fabric in the shop. When she saw Su Zi put it in, she nodded and motioned for him to sit down. Then she cut the fabric in her hand and walked out.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Anyan pulled up her hair and tied it on the top of her head, looking particularly cute.
"I'm here to deliver the qingtuanzi. I have something else I want to ask."
"It's great. Today I was thinking about whether I should buy egg yolk and meat floss green dumplings as Qingming Festival is coming soon. I heard they said they were already crazy, so you made it."
"Because you never know before you know it." Su Zifang reminded him as he placed the lotus leaf buns on the table, "Should you eat the meat-filled buns while they are hot?"
"Okay." Shen Anyan washed her hands and carefully untied the rope, picked up the top one and ate it in two bites.
"How does it feel?"
"It's the first time I've eaten this filling. It tastes pretty good, but it doesn't feel like a Qingtuan dumpling." Shen Anyan said honestly.
"Do you think the filling tastes a bit strong?"
"No, maybe it's because I've never eaten anything made with shrimp before." Shen Anyan said with a smile, "But why don't you use Longjing shrimp to make green dumplings?"
"It's too expensive, and my mother can't bear it." Su Zifang muttered in a low voice.
In fact, he also thought about directly using Longjing shrimps to make Qingtuan balls, but when Chen Aoyi saw it, he immediately put an end to this dangerous and money-losing idea.
"A pound of shrimps costs more than 60. If you make three plates of Longjing shrimps, it will cost you 300 or 400. The time wasted by making Qingtuan is free. Do you still have to pay off the mortgage?"
Su Zifang's logic was completely unable to resist Shen Anyan's advanced bewitchment specialization, and he was tricked into giving up the idea with a few words.
After complaining to Shen Anyan, Su Zifang still felt that he should persevere.
"Auntie is really funny. She was afraid that you would be too tired and she deliberately said it was to control costs." Shen Anyan handed a green dough ball to Su Zi.
"Think about it, there are at least 70 shrimps in a pound. If you really make Longjing shrimp dumplings, it will take an hour just to make the dumplings, right? You have to steam them several times during steaming, and the whole process is not long. I know how troublesome it is. Auntie is here to make it easier for you."
"It makes sense." Su Zifang nodded, but he reacted in a flash: "But Xiaoman is making the Qingtuan dumplings, I just need to make the fillings."
Shen Anyan:......
Are we discussing with you who should pay for it?
As expected, straight men are hopeless.
"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of forming a Youth League? Few people who are not locals from Jiangnan know about this thing."
"Oh, it was customized by a customer. I was just about to talk about it. He is from the China Merchants Bureau and wanted to customize a batch of Qingming Festival gifts for the merchants who invested. He was introduced to me by others, so he came to customize Qingtuan. ."
"But I think disposable lunch boxes are too shabby, and lotus leaves are not suitable for large quantities of storage and transportation. So I want to discuss with you to see if there is a way to customize a batch of packaging for green dumplings." Su Zifang pointed to a broken spot on the lotus leaf. Kong said.
"A cloth bag? It's really rare."
Shen Anyan took out her phone and swiped a few times to show Su Zifang a few pictures.
"Most of them are boxed or vacuum-packed in plastic bags. I've never seen cloth bags before."
"Then what can be done?" Su Zifang fell into deep thought.
"Is it necessary?" Shen Anyan frowned.
"I just feel that the Youth League and the Bag match better, and the flavor of traditional culture is stronger." Su Zifang said seriously.
"Then let me try it and see when I need it." Shen Anyan bit her lip and looked to one side.
"Next week, please trouble An Yan."
"It's okay. Just go and do your work. I'll tell you what I have planned and you can pick it up when the time comes."
"Um."
"Um?"
After Su Zifang finished answering, he felt something was not right. This conversation seemed familiar!
This seems to be what I and Chai Quan said...
