Chapter 338 334. An old man in the family is like a treasure

I saw that they were making phone calls and calling people, as if something was going on.

Master Xu thought that something was wrong with what he made today, so he came over and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the kimchi?"

Luo Yihang shook his head and replied, "No, Master Xu, there must be no problem with what you did. I just asked the people at the kimchi factory. If combined with the bacterial flora testing, it will take about ten times for the lactic acid bacteria to stabilize. If it takes a week to do it once, it will take two and a half months to get it done. In addition, it will take three to three and a half months to finalize the model before mass production. It's a bit late."

Master Xu was surprised and said, "Three months is still too late? You are just building a factory, three months is already very fast."

"That's not what I meant." Luo Yihang briefly told Master Xu about the previous fishing bait and the popularity it brought.

Finally, he concluded: "Popularity comes and goes quickly, so I have to hurry up and catch this overwhelming wealth. Otherwise, when the popularity is gone in a few days, I will lose a lot of money."

Master Xu suddenly realized.

Words like popularity and traffic have been shouted everywhere in recent years.

In his own words, Master Xu is not like Old Wang, who has been complacent for decades without making any progress.

He thinks he is very trendy and sometimes even learns a few tricks from online videos.

can understand.

"So you asked me to make this kimchi because you thought it was quick and you wanted to make it quickly and sell it for money, right?"

Luo Yihang nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, that's what I meant. It doesn't seem to work now."

"Then you don't have enough. How many vegetables do you have? You can only make so much if you make kimchi. And 10,000 kilograms. Can you save up enough for a month?"

"I don't use my vegetables. My vegetables are used to make the mother soup. After the mother soup is ready, I buy vegetables from outside to make kimchi. You know, my vegetables all have owners."

"You are just a pushover."

Having worked together for several months last year, Master Xu naturally knew where Luo Yihang's dishes were supplied.

I also know that his dishes basically don’t make any money.

Looking at it today, even though such a large business has been built, it is likely that it still needs subsidies from other industries.

So when this wave of traffic finally comes, you must not miss it.

Speaking of this, although Master Xu is a cook, he has been in the catering industry for half his life and is quite knowledgeable. Maybe he can have an idea.

Otherwise, let's brainstorm.

Luo Yihang immediately invited: "Master Xu, how about you help me think of a solution."

Master Xu didn't refuse, "Then you have to tell me what you have here."

"Of course, let's go somewhere else and talk."

"Walk."

Luo Yihang brought Master Xu to the meeting room.

Made a cup of tea for the old man.

Master Xu was also thirsty, so he picked up the cup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then put it down again.

He curled his lips and said, "Why don't you plant some tea trees and make some good tea yourself? Instead, you use this to entertain guests."

What’s wrong with tea that costs more than two hundred yuan?

The old man looks down on people.

That's not okay.

"I have tea trees, old tea trees, 15 of them, over 30 years old."

Master Xu raised his eyebrows, "Why, you don't want to give away good things, an old man like me is not worthy of it?" "How can that be possible." Luo Yihang smiled, "We just transplanted it here last autumn, and the old trees are slow to grow. There is no hope before the Qingming Festival this year, but there should be some yield before the rain, and I will send it to you then."

"No need." Master Xu became more energetic. "I'll stir-fry it for you when the time comes. We can't waste a 30-year-old tree."

"Do you still have this skill?"

"Nonsense, I've been doing this for decades, and I know how to eat and drink."

"Then I won't be polite. I'm worried about finding a good tea roasting chef."

"You're welcome. We don't need it."

An unexpected surprise, and also put my mind at ease.

However, what we are eager to get now are products that can be put into mass production.

Back to the topic, Luo Yihang introduced to Master Xu: "It's a lean period here now. The corn hasn't grown yet, and all the vegetables in the field have been bought. There is a yield of peppers, but the amount used is even greater. The amount of other things is too small. Even the grass in the field is used as bait."

"Good fellow, you don't even let the grass go."

"That's right. There are a lot of grasses in the fields. The vegetables grow well here, and the grass grows well too. I originally wanted to use one batch of grasses as bait, and another batch of grasses as fermented mushroom bags. But then something unexpected happened. The sales of baits exploded, and the raw materials for mushroom bags were taken up. That's why I thought of making kimchi mother water."

Luo Yihang told him how much land he had now, what he planted, and how he arranged it.

He said that there is really nothing to sell now.

Master Xu nodded as he listened, his brows furrowed more and more.

It seems that there is really nothing to sell.

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

"The thing that can be made into the most different things is peppers. You can't squeeze this pepper any more... wait!" Master Xu muttered casually. He hadn't thought about what else could be made from peppers. He just felt that peppers could be used to make a lot of things.

Halfway through reciting the poem, I suddenly got a hint of inspiration.

"Do you still remember the first time Old Man Wang brought you to see me, we cooked crayfish, but I blanched it but you were not satisfied, you insisted on having it spicy."

Luo Yihang nodded, "I remember. Later we went to the Mortal Residence."

After he finished speaking, he realized that it was inappropriate and glanced at Master Xu's expression.

It seems that Master Xu has no reaction to the name of Fanrenju.

Still recalling, he slowly said: "I told you at the time that to make spicy food, you must first make it sweet. I used honey from northern Shaanxi and pears from Laiyang."

Luo Yihang continued to nod, "Yes, I have an impression."

"Later, when we got to the barbecue restaurant, we added your maltose."

"correct."

"Yes! That's it!" Master Xu slapped the table happily, "Maltose, you can produce a lot of maltose. We don't make spicy food, we can make sweet food, such as candy. Fruit candy, nougat, peanut candy, candy has always been very expensive. My family bought two kilograms of candy during the Chinese New Year, and it cost four or five yuan a kilogram."

The old man got the clue and became more and more excited as he spoke, his whole body exuding the joy of solving the problem.

Luo Yihang asked in confusion: "Don't we use cane sugar to make sugar? Maltose will also work?"

"Of course it can be done." Master Xu waved his hand. "The difference between maltose and white sugar is that maltose is sticky, while white sugar is not. Candies must be sticky, so maltose is fine. Generally, it is used less because maltose is expensive. It doesn't matter to you."

"Of course, there are differences in temperature and color. I can do it by hand, but you must have factory automation. You need to find someone who knows the business to figure it out." Master Xu added.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help!" Luo Yihang stood up excitedly and gave Master Xu a hug.

The old man was quite embarrassed...
