Chapter 336 332. Kimchi Mother Water
The idea that I worked hard to come up with was despised.

How can Ma Zhitao do this?

"Did I say we use our vegetables to make kimchi? I meant the mother water, the kimchi mother water."

"What is kimchi water?" Chu Jie had never heard of this thing.

Luo Yihang and Luo Shaoan looked at each other. They had heard of the mother water of kimchi.

"Boss, do you use mother water to make kimchi?" Luo Shaoan asked.

This guy won't pick up any pot.

I don’t know why the Luo family is so bad at pickling vegetables. Everything that is pickled grows mold.

Luo Yihang curled his lips and shook his head, "My family doesn't even make jiangshuicai, let alone kimchi."

"No wonder we don't eat rice noodle soup much in the summer. I've never eaten rice fried rice. If I had known, I would have brought it from home."

"Does your family make Jiangshuicai?"

"Yes, my mother makes it every year, including kimchi."

"Then use mother water?"

"No, I always make new ones."

The two of them were chatting about family matters, which made Chu Jie anxious. "Can someone tell me what mother water is and what it is used for?"

Luo Yihang and Luo Shaoan looked at Ma Zhitao at the same time, "Expert Ma, please tell us about it."

They are both from Tianhan. Tianhan people mainly eat jiangshuicai, not mushui.

Kimchi and kimchi water are specialties of Sichuan Province.

Because they were close, Luo Yihang and Luo Shaoan had both heard of it, but they were not sure what it was specifically about.

And Ma Zhitao happened to be from Sichuan Province.

Seeing that no one else was aware of what was going on, Ma Zhitao became excited. He put on his posture, picked up the water cup and took a sip.

Then he slowly introduced: "Kimchi mother water is the water used to make kimchi. The quality of kimchi depends entirely on the mother water."

Having said that, Ma Zhitao picked up the water cup and took a sip.

After he brought out the large cup of water, everyone waited for a long time, but still nothing happened.

Chu Jie was anxious, "Why don't you say anything?"

"That's all."

"That's not what you said."

"You asked me what mother water is, I told you."

"Hey..." Chu Jie was furious. He was annoyed by people who left their words half-sentenced.

Luo Yihang quickly smoothed Chu Jie's hair.

This Ma Zhitao has a strong desire for revenge.

"Expert Ma, you haven't told me how kimchi juice can enable us to mass-produce products." Luo Yihang said.

After the boss spoke, Ma Zhitao continued speaking.

"This kimchi water actually contains a large number of high-quality lactic acid bacteria, which determine the flavor and taste of kimchi. And as long as it is kept clean, the water can be used repeatedly."

"The older the mother water is, the better the kimchi will be. We even have many mother waters that are hundreds of years old in Sichuan Province."

"It's like a collective breeding ground for beneficial microorganisms."

"Now you understand."

Chu Jie and Luo Shaoan both shook their heads in confusion.

Luo Yihang thought about what happened just now and said with a smile: "Onion, ginger and garlic."

"That's right." Ma Zhitao clapped his hands.

He flattered him, "Boss is really smart. It's just onions, ginger and garlic."

Luo Yihang made a please gesture to him.

Ma Zhitao immediately began to talk about the good idea that he had suddenly thought of.

"When I mentioned onions, ginger and garlic just now, I felt like something was about to pop out of my mind, like a post I saw on WeChat Moments."

"So I hurriedly flipped through the pages. After flipping through them for quite a while, I suddenly saw a message from a classmate of mine after the Chinese New Year. He had changed jobs and got a job at a pickle factory in Meishan."

"Meishan is the kimchi capital of Sichuan Province. I immediately realized that we can make kimchi water."

"Using our onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, and vegetables, we can definitely make a jar of particularly good mother water. We have so many equipment in our laboratory that we can study the beneficial bacteria clearly, and there is no problem in recording and comparing them to standardization."

"Then the mother water can be used repeatedly, and the more it is used, the better it gets. We can use this batch of mother water to make kimchi continuously." "As for how to preserve it, how to add water, how to add ingredients, and how to mass produce, you can just spend money to find a master to guide you."

Ma Zhitao finished speaking with "dangdangdang".

Luo Yihang took the lead and everyone applauded him.

This is really a solution.

The important thing about this idea is the mother water. After the mother water is obtained, you can pickle vegetables as you like and purchase them from outside.

And it can be used repeatedly, so the energy source is endless.

All the requirements raised by Luo Yihang can be met.

Get started!

There is no need to look for a master craftsman outside.

We have ready-made ones.

Luo Yihang took out his phone and called Master Xu on the spot.

"Master Xu, are you back from your trip?... Here's the thing, can you make Sichuan pickles, especially the mother water?... Okay, okay, that's great... Could you please give us some guidance... Hey, hey, hey... If you need anything, I'll prepare it... I'll be waiting for you. Thank you, thank you."

hang up the phone.

Luo Yihang said to everyone, "It's done. Master Xu can do it. He will come over this afternoon. Let's prepare the things first."

"Luo Shaoan, go buy a big kimchi jar and a large two-stage water purifier. The bigger the better. Remember, a two-stage one doesn't need a three-stage one."

"We also need to find our suppliers. We need peppercorns from Hanyuan, cinnamon from western Sichuan, white vinegar, bay leaves, and rock sugar from Sichuan Province. All of them must be top quality. Don't make the mistake of the origin. Master Xu is very particular about his work."

"Also buy a box of Jiannanchun. The higher the alcohol content, the better."

"By the way, we have our own Sichuan peppercorns. Ask your aunt for half a pound of them and let Master Xu pick them."

Master Xu still has his own habits and he wants to use the best of everything.

But this time I’m making Sichuan kimchi, so I’m going to use the best things from Sichuan.

This can also be considered a sense of ritual.

Arrangements have been made for Luo Shaoan.

Luo Yihang took Chu Jie and Ma Zhitao to the fields again.

There were all kinds of radishes, cabbages, cucumbers, celery, onions, garlic, but no ginger. I picked about 100 kilograms of the best ones.

Move them all to the kitchen, wash them, drain them and set aside.

After finishing the work, Luo Shaoan also came back.

If you have the money, these things are easy to buy.

Including seasoning.

Once a big customer opens his mouth, we have to dig deep to find the supplier.

After the things were shipped back.

Wow, Luo Shaoan is really honest. The jar of kimchi he bought is as big as a jar.

As a last resort, Luo Yihang asked Luo Qingcai to bring another 100 kilograms of vegetables over.

Let Luo Shaoan and the others clean the "tank" from inside to outside.

Water purifier installed.

Luo Yihang drove himself to the creek, carrying two plastic buckets and walked up the river into the mountains.

The further upstream you go, the narrower the river becomes, until it almost becomes a small stream.

It seems that there are undercurrents and springs along the way to replenish it.

Fetched two buckets of stream water from upstream.

Luo Yihang came out of the mountain and drove back to the kitchen.

Pour the stream water into the secondary water purifier and wait for it to filter and purify.

The first level of a water purifier can only filter out mud and impurities, the second level can filter out microorganisms and heavy metals to meet drinking water standards, and the third level is even better, but it is too good and can also filter out minerals in the water. It is a waste to use it on the source water of the first-level water source.

Had lunch.

In order to show his respect, Luo Yihang drove his large SUV to pick up Master Xu.

With a direction, the action is very fast...
