Hawthorn water was quickly brought to the table by four girls, one cup each, and everyone drank the hawthorn water slowly while blowing the wind to get rid of the sweat.
But when I saw the potatoes all over the yard, my mood was not so good.
This work... is enough for them to work for several days.
"Should we continue making potato flour in the afternoon?" Shitou asked, looking at Huang Lei, "Can you take a break first? Wait until the temperature drops a little before we start... The sun is getting high now, and it's too hot in the yard."
Huang Lei nodded, "Okay, I also think the temperature is too high. How about we take a nap in the afternoon and work overtime in the evening?"
"I agree!"
"agree!"
Everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Then, the program team was confused.
If you all go to bed, what else will be recorded for the show? What will be broadcast live?
Do you want to sleep?
Chen Kezhou was also confused. Originally, you could pause the live broadcast after taking a lunch break for about an hour, but now I hear you mean to sleep until the sun goes down?
"Ahem." So Chen Kezhou coughed lightly as a reminder.
He Jiong understood instantly and had no choice but to say helplessly, "It's past one o'clock now. It's almost two o'clock when we put away the dishes. Let's sleep for an hour and a half by then. The temperature has almost dropped. We still have to work hard...
...Otherwise, I won’t even be able to afford food.”
"Yes." Zifeng was also very worried, although it seemed that there were staple foods in the fields.
"Let's eat mashed potatoes tonight!" Reba raised her hand, "It's super delicious!"
"Can you fry some French fries?" Ange immediately looked at Ling Rui for advice.
"Of course." Ling Rui nodded, "But are you sure... you want to eat such a high-calorie meal at night?"
"No, what I mean is? Can we make potatoes into mashed potato pancakes or French fries and potato chips... and sell them to the program crew?" An Ge thought for a while and said, after all, people went to buy them again all morning.
Ingredients are ready, and... the money spent must not be too little. In other words, they will soon run out of money from selling pickles in the morning.
"That's okay!" Huang Lei agreed very much. Can they just eat the potatoes all over the ground? How long will it take to eat them? Of course, everyone should be mobilized to eat them together! At the same time, they can also sell them for money, killing two birds with one stone. How great.
!
So, everyone turned their attention to Chen Kezhou.
Chen Kezhou breathed out, you finally remembered that there are so many people in the program team!
So, he nodded, "Okay, I'll accept it, but the price still needs to be discussed."
"A small bowl of mashed potatoes costs 3 yuan per serving." He Jiong took the lead in setting the price, which was not an exaggerated price. "It's up to you to sprinkle some cumin or black pepper sauce."
Chen Kezhou thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."
"Fries, a plate like this costs 10 yuan a portion. This is a big plate after all." Huang Lei then picked up a plate and started negotiating the price.
Chen Kezhou shook his head, "No, the maximum price for a plate like this is 5 yuan. Listen to me first. French fries are different from mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are solid, while French fries are empty and take up volume. So you look like this.
It doesn’t actually consume many potatoes.”
Huang Lei frowned slightly, "But we have to cut the potatoes by hand, which is very time-consuming. We also have to use oil to fry them, which is even more time-consuming."
"But for such a plate of French fries, only one potato like this is enough." Chen Kezhou picked up a potato about the size of his hand and gestured.
Huang Lei looked at Ling Rui.
Ling Rui nodded, he could agree to the 5 yuan, even though he would only earn a salary of one person.
"As for the potato chips, they should be able to be stored for a period of time." Chen Kezhou then touched his chin, "You see how many can be made, the program team will collect it as a souvenir for netizens, and also let everyone have a taste of Xiao Rui's craftsmanship
And the potatoes from our mushroom house.”
Everyone agreed to Chen Kezhou's proposal.
"How much is a pound?" Peng Peng asked.
"I checked. For Lay's, based on packaging, 70g*6 packs, the total is about 32 yuan." Zifeng raised his phone and spoke.
"Then let's pay at least 40 yuan per pound, right?" Zhang Xincheng immediately calculated and gave an approximate price.
Huang Lei thought for a while and nodded. Potato chips take up a lot of volume. A pound of potato chips is a big bag. Then he looked at Chen Kezhou, "What do you think, Director Chen?"
"No, a pound of potato chips... you actually want 40 yuan..." Chen Kezhou felt that it was a bit too dark. A pound of potato chips doesn't consume many potatoes, so the guys from Mushroom House wanted him 40 yuan...
Huang Lei opened his eyes wide, "Aren't we based on the market price?"
"But even if it's based on the market price, it can't hide that you actually spent very little on the materials!"
"No, Lay's can be sold for this money, why can't we sell it?"
"Because we are recording a show!"
Everyone in Mushroom House: ...What you said makes sense.
…
"Can anyone tell me how many potatoes are needed for a pound of potato chips? Or how many potato chips can be produced from a pound of potatoes!"
"Thank you for the invitation.
There are two types of potato chips on the market, one is reconstituted potato chips made by mashing potatoes and adding starch, which tastes like puffed food, and the other is potato chips directly fried into slices.
The difference between the two types of potato chips is very big. The price of sliced potato chips is almost double that of ordinary ones, and the artificially sliced potato chips are even more expensive. There is a potato chip in the UK that is artificially sliced. With a sales volume of 100 million pounds a year, it feels like the kitchen knife has already withstood the price.
I can't help it. However, the potato chips we often eat are mainly starch-added, such as Lay's.
The potatoes are broken into pieces, stirred with starch, then fried in a fixed shape, and then bagged or put into potato chip cans. This is the entire factory production process of potato chips.
One pound of potatoes can make at least three bags of potato chips, and this bag of potato chips only weighs one or two. In other words, one pound of potatoes can make at least three bags of potato chips, and the cost of potatoes is less than one yuan. They can probably
Selling for 15 yuan, of course, excluding other costs such as packaging, transportation, advertising labor, etc., the profit is still not low."
A long list of answers suddenly appeared in the barrage.
Many netizens were shocked.
One was surprised by how fast this guy answered, and the other was surprised that there was no word limit for barrages? They had never known it before!
And this barrage instantly topped the list of likes.
The live broadcast room staff also noticed this barrage, and at the same time conveyed the relevant news to the program team and guests in the simplest words.
Ling Rui raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the masters are among the people. He doesn't need to learn more about this. In other words, they sell starch compound potato chips and make greater profits.
However, it requires more craftsmanship.
"We want original-cut potato chips!" Chen Kezhou decided immediately, "10 yuan per pound, no more!"
Huang Lei laughed angrily and looked at Chen Kezhou, "Old Chen, you are too shameless! It's not even a quarter of the market price! What do you want us to do!"
