Put in a basin of boiling water, don't add any seasonings, put the fish balls in, and simmer.
Dong Xiaorou did not dare to cook more and only put five fish meatballs in the basin. She was afraid that they would not taste good and would be wasted if they cooked too much.
"How long does it take to cook?"
Li Zhi looked at the time, pondered and said, "I guess boiling water will last for five minutes!"
The small room next door is not very big, about 20 square meters. It used to be used as an office in the factory. Now it has a bed and some miscellaneous things, so it doesn't look spacious.
The conditions were not good. The gas stove was placed on the ground, and the iron basin was brought by Dong Xiaorou from home. The two of them squatted around the iron basin, watching the water inside boil, putting the fish and meat balls in, and counting the time.
"Five minutes are up!"
“Take it out and try it!”
"Oh, don't use chopsticks, it's not like you don't have a bowl!"
Eating fish meatballs in your mouth is different from eating them raw. No seasonings are added, and no additives are added during production. They bounce in your mouth and are very slippery. They only have their own fresh taste. They are better than anything I have ever eaten before.
Any kind of meatballs must be delicious.
"What do you think?" Li Zhi bit the whole fish ball in his mouth and swallowed it, then turned to look at Dong Xiaorou and asked.
Dong Xiaorou nodded: "It's delicious. I don't know about other people's tastes, but I like it very much anyway!" After saying that, he picked up another one, or rather, inserted one with chopsticks, opened his mouth and bit it, although the fish balls were
There is no seasoning, but it is not difficult to swallow. The freshness of the fish itself is enough.
Li Zhi didn't fight with her. The fish balls were still being produced. He could eat as many as he wanted, but the scene in front of him didn't happen all the time.
Ten years or more later, Li Zhi recalled today as if it was the next day. There was a woman squatting in front of the gas stove with him, cooking fish balls, waiting eagerly, and her every move seemed so happy.
Only when you are down once will you know who is by your side.
"I think our product should have a good market response." Dong Xiaorou turned off the gas stove, and she ate four of the five fish balls. Li Zhi either let her go or didn't grab them.
"Do you have any ideas?" Dong Xiaorou looked at Li Zhi and asked seriously.
"What do you mean?"
Dong Xiaorou tucked her long hair behind her ears and said: "After the fish meatballs are processed, you can only make money by selling them. The production line in the factory is fine and can be produced. Now we should think about how to take out the fish meatballs."
Already?"
"Sell?" Li Zhi scratched his head and said with a smile: "This is not easy, just take it to the market and sell it. The fish meatballs we make taste so good, are we worried that no one will buy them?"
"..." Dong Xiaorou felt that her young boss was a bit of an idiot. She shook her head and said, "How to sell it in the market? Wholesale or retail, what is the price, how much can be sold in a day, do you think it tastes good, will others think so?
Agreed, have you thought about these?"
"I never thought about it!" Li Zhi made Dong Xiaorou a little dumbfounded. Is there so much to say about selling fish and meat balls?
Dong Xiaorou looked like "I've lost to you", rolled her eyes coquettishly, and said with a wry smile: "You haven't prepared anything to open this factory. Do you want to go home?"
Li Zhi wanted to reply to her, you are just playing house, if you really want to play house, I will let you be the foot warmer.
Dong Xiaorou didn't give Li Zhi a chance to speak. She thought for a while and said: "We need to set a sales price for the fish meatballs made in the factory. Before setting the sales price, I need to know the daily production volume of our factory and the cost of making fish meatballs."
!” He raised his head, looked at Li Zhi and asked: “Big boss, tell me these things, is that okay?”
"No, of course not!" Li Zhiqian smiled. If it weren't for her, Li Zhi could only do it blindfolded, cross the river with his trouser legs rolled up, and walk step by step. Now at least there is still a personal discussion. "You know.
So many!" Dong Xiaorou didn't feel like a woman from a small fishing village to Li Zhi.
Dong Xiaorou snorted and muttered: "Nonsense, I am a college student who graduated from the Department of Business Management."
Instead of talking about this topic, he gave Li Zhi more opportunities to chat, and then said: "Don't talk about these useless things, let's talk about the processing and manufacturing capabilities of our factory first, that is, how many fish and meat balls can be produced in a day!"
Li Zhidao: "Theoretically, the processing plant can run 24 hours a day, but every other day, that is, 24 hours, the machine needs to be shut down for three hours for cooling and maintenance. If the raw materials are sufficient, 15 fish balls can be produced per minute.
The weight of a fish ball is 0.5 taels, which is 25 grams..."
Before Li Zhi could finish speaking, Dong Xiaorou frowned and interrupted him: "15 fish balls can be produced in one minute, and the weight of 375 grams is less than one pound. If it takes 45 pounds in one hour and is produced at full speed in one day,
, it only weighed 945 kilograms in 21 hours, just over 470 kilograms."
The output of less than 500 kilograms a day is completely lower than Dong Xiaorou's budget, but it is right to think about it. This is not a factory at all, at best it is a small workshop that can produce fish balls.
"The price of fish meatballs on the market is about ten yuan per pound, and the wholesale price is about five or six yuan!" Dong Xiaorou calculated and asked: "How many fish meatballs can be produced from one pound of fresh fish?"
"500 grams of fresh fish produces 280 grams of fish meatballs."
The formula was not calculated by Li Zhi, but was directly given by the 'Nebula i9 Smart Factory System' in his mind.
"Fifty percent? The price we buy fish today is two yuan and a half per catty. For two kilograms of fish, you only get a little more than one catty of fish balls. The cost of raw materials is almost five yuan, plus labor, electricity, factory building, and mechanical losses.
Wait, fish balls cost six yuan a pound... Boss, it's not cost-effective for us. Why don't we close this factory now, and maybe we can lose less money, what do you think?" Dong Xiaorou said the last thing, and turned towards Li Zhi.
Blinked his eyes.
The ‘evil spirit’ is everywhere!
Li Zhi was not in the mood to watch the goblin act now, and Dong Xiaorou's calculation made him feel bad.
"How can you not make money?"
Dong Xiaorou blinked her eyes, spread her hands and said, "You are the boss and I am an employee. How can I know why you are not making money?"
"No, no, there must be something wrong." Li Zhi shook his head, frowned and thought, "The raw materials are right, the output is right, the pricing... yes, it's the pricing!"
Li Zhi raised his head and asked excitedly: "Why do we have to set the sales price so low? You are stupid. Our cost of producing fish balls is more than six yuan per catty. How can we sell it for takeout at this price?"
It would be strange not to lose money."
Dong Xiaorou widened her eyes and looked at Li Zhi angrily: "You are stupid, you are stupid, you are stupid!"
"Hehe!" Li Zhiqian laughed twice and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's okay, what, you are quite cute when you are angry!"
"Don't do this to me, I won't accept it!" Dong Xiaorou rolled her eyes at him.
Li Zhi could see that Dong Xiaorou was not really angry and said with a smile: "The ex-factory price of fish balls cannot be based on the current market price."
"Then what's the reference?"
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Without any reference, are the fish meatballs we produce the same as the fish meatballs sold in the market? They are different, not even the same thing. The fish meatballs we process and manufacture are genuine and made with real ingredients."
The 'fish balls' made from real materials have only one raw material, which is fresh fish, so our prices can only be determined based on our products!"
