The production of dried abalone is not simply drying the abalone, the production process is still very complicated: the first step is to remove the shell of the abalone with a round-headed knife, leaving only the abalone meat, and then, marinate it with a small amount of sea salt, and finally cook it with clean seawater, and then dry it, which is considered the production of dried abalone.

This is still just the simplest and most common practice of fishermen, like those abalone masters in the Wa Kingdom, after marinating, they are not cooked in seawater, but cooked many times with the top stock of the unique secret recipe, so that the abalone can completely absorb the umami of the top soup before drying. Therefore, in the Wa Kingdom, it takes a year for the top master of Jipin abalone to make a batch of dried abalone, and the recipe is all kept secret.

Xiao Peng didn't have that much patience and time to make dried abalone like them, so he directly cooked the pickled abalone and put it in the dryer to dry, saving even the sun. In this way, only a week later, Xiao Peng's dried abalone was produced.

Xiao Peng hurriedly contacted Ye Yuli and asked her to see how the quality of the dried abalone she produced was.

By the time Xiao Peng arrived at the ferry, Ye Yuli had been waiting for half a day. It seems that she is also very curious about the quality of the dried abalone produced by Xiao Peng here.

"There were twenty fresh abalones and one hundred dried abalones here. Xiao Peng patted the fresh-keeping box beside him, and the fresh abalone was sold directly by Ye Yuli in the store.

Ye Yuli hurriedly picked up a dried abalone and observed it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, Ye Yuli looked puzzled: "Xiao Peng, you are "old water", right?"

Xiao Peng made Ye Yuli confused: "Sister Ye, what do you mean by "old water"?"

Ye Yuli showed a helpless smile: "Xiao Peng, I really don't know how to say hello, you can raise such a good abalone, why don't you know anything about dried abalone? This dried abalone is divided into two types: "new water" and "old water", the one that has just been dried is called "new water", and those that have been stored for more than one or two years are collectively referred to as "old water". The flavor of the new water abalone is not strong enough, and the "sugar heart" is insufficient. Proper preservation of abalone in old water will make the abalone have a better "sugar heart", and there will be hoarfrost on the surface of the abalone that has been stored for a long time, which is not moldy, but a manifestation of high-quality abalone. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned when he heard this: "Sister Ye, don't blame me for not understanding, I'm a halfway monk, if it wasn't for an accident at home, I wouldn't be able to stand up to this stall, maybe I'm still running business in Yongcheng now." And what do you mean by 'sugar heart'?"

Ye Yuli continued to explain: "The term sugar heart abalone. Originated from Guangdong, it is also called sugar body abalone. In Cantonese, the words 'body' and 'heart' are pronounced the same. It means that good old water abalone will taste like sugar and the flavor of abalone, which is converted from the protein of the fresh abalone itself. ”

After speaking, Ye Yuli pointed to the hoarfrost on the surface of the dried abalone and said, "Look, your abalone has hoarfrost, which is the performance of the old water abalone." Abalone is more valuable the longer it is stored, and there is a saying that abalone retains its value more than gold. In the south, especially on Hong Kong Island, almost all wealthy people have a collection of dried abalone for many years. ”

Xiao Peng scratched his head: "I thought I didn't keep it well and it was moldy." ”

Ye Yuli laughed: "You're too funny." I'll just take it as a joke. You abalone farmer doesn't even know this. ”

Xiao Peng was even more nervous about whether he could sell it quickly: "Sister Ye, why don't you hurry up and try the meat quality of this dried abalone?"

Ye Yuli was completely speechless: "Xiao Peng, you are too anxious." You two abalones, even if I want to send them well, it will take at least a week. ”

If you want to eat dried food, you have to go through the water first, Xiao Peng knows this, but he didn't expect the dried abalone to take so long. They usually don't have to eat dried abalone for so long, and they start eating it after soaking it in the afternoon, which is really not so particular.

Ye Yuli also saw Xiao Peng's doubts: "Ordinary dried abalone is not so troublesome, but this top-notch abalone needs to be watered, first it must be sunburned, then soaked in cold water for a few days, then added rice wine and white vinegar ice cubes and then soaked, then boiled in hot water, and finally steamed in warm water." That's how it can be considered a good haircut. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned when he heard this: "Why is it so troublesome to eat abalone?"

Ye Yuli laughed: "You also underestimate the tongues of foodies." The procedure I just mentioned is still a simple process, and some gourmets have to prepare half a month in advance in order to eat a good abalone. ”

Hearing that it would take so long to dry abalone, Xiao Peng was also a little nervous, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get the money.

Ye Yuli directly took out her mobile phone: "These abalones, I will give you a uniform price, all 30,000 pieces." In the future, I will charge this price for dried abalone of this quality. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Sister Ye, what are you doing here, why did it suddenly rise so much?"

Ye Yuli smiled: "I didn't raise the price for no reason, you have to do two things for me." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng asked, looking puzzled.

Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, Ye Yuli also smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's all within your power." The first thing is that you register a brand for your abalone. This makes it easier for me to promote. ”

"This is more troublesome, our family's breeding license is owned by the village collective, and if the trademark is registered, the ownership must belong to the village. Xiao Peng said.

"You don't have a mariculture farm?"

"No, let's talk about it after I contract Qianliyan, it's really not good, I'll set up a company. Xiao Peng said.

Ye Yuli was a little disappointed, but she had no choice but to say: "Then I hope to contract Qianliyan as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "I will, this is my current number one goal." The second thing?"

Ye Yuli looked shy: "Xiao Peng, this second thing should not be told to you, but I think about it, you are the best person to help." ”

"Sister Ye, you're welcome, you have something to say. Xiao Peng said with a smile. But Xiao Peng guessed that this matter should be related to Fang Ranran.

Sure enough, Ye Yuli said: "This second thing is to hope that Xiao Peng will do me a favor, it has something to do with Ran Ran, now Ran Ran doesn't listen to me at all, I think she listens to you, I hope you can help me persuade Ran Ran." ”

"What is it about?" asked Xiao Peng.

Ye Yuli bit her lip and said, "You also know that I divorced Ran Ran's father. Ran Ran is now in a period of rebellion. Both to his grandmother's family and to my friends. Remember the girl who bought you a hundred abalones that day? Actually, she was my ex-husband's sister. As for Zheng Gangsheng, not to mention. I didn't dare to let Ran Ran see me with Hong Kong students.

After Xiao Peng heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Sister Ye, it is said that it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, do you think Ran Ran will listen to me when I say this?"

Ye Yuli replied without thinking: "Don't refuse directly like this." How do you know if she doesn't listen if you don't try?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, Sister Ye, I'll do my best." ”

After hearing this, Ye Yuli became happy: "It's great that you promised, Ran Ran will go back to school in the city in a few days, I hope you can talk to her during this time." ”

Fang Ranran is in high school in the city, and he usually lives on campus and only goes home on weekends. Now it's time to come back for the summer vacation.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, Sister Ye, I'll go to the hospital to see my parents first, and I'll go talk to Ran Ran in a while." ”

Xiao Peng nodded and agreed, Ye Yuli sent Xiao Peng directly to the hospital, and instructed Xiao Peng a few more words before leaving.

Before Xiao Peng walked into the ward, he heard Xiao Jianjun's voice: "It's useless to say anything, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital today!"

Chen Aifen said: "Now that my son is so capable, why do you need to go back to work?

Xiao Jianjun snorted: "He tosses at home like this, as if you are not worried." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Peng walked into the ward: "It turns out that you are so worried about me." ”

Chen Aifen heard this and laughed: "It's all your father's worry, I'm very relieved." ”

Xiao Peng looked at Xiao Jianjun: "Dad, if you want to be discharged from the hospital, just say it, don't use me as a cover." ”

Xiao Jianjun looked embarrassed: "Son, I really can't stay in the hospital." Lying here every day, even if you are not sick, you can lie down and get sick. ”

Xiao Peng laughed: "Then let's be discharged from the hospital." ”

Xiao Jianjun didn't hear Xiao Peng's words clearly, and complained there: "I'm here every day, don't talk about spending money, don't eat well, don't sleep well, you still let me 。。。。。。 What? You say discharge?"

When Xiao Jianjun heard this, he jumped up directly from the hospital bed: "Let's go, go through the formalities." I don't want to stay any longer. ”

Xiao Peng and Chen Aifen looked at each other and smiled, and went to the hospital together to go through the discharge procedures. A family of three left the hospital.

Xiao Jianjun flagged down a taxi "to the ferry terminal." ”

Xiao Peng said to the driver: "Go to the Agricultural Bank first." ”

Xiao Jianjun asked Xiao Peng with a puzzled face: "What are you doing at the bank?"

Xiao Peng said as a matter of course: "What else can you do when you go to the bank? ”

"Nonsense, of course I know. Xiao Jianjun's eyes widened: "Your mother and I still have some money here, what are you doing with the money?"

"Pay off the family's foreign debts. Xiao Peng said lightly.

Chen Aifen was taken aback when she heard this: "Can the foreign debt be repaid? That's more than 700,000 yuan!"

Xiao Peng nodded: "It's okay, I have more than four million here now." "In addition to the purchase of Moss, Xiao Peng's money earned during this time was there. He has been saving up, just waiting for Xiao Jianjun to return the money to the villagers in one go when he is discharged from the hospital. "More than four million?" Xiao Jianjun gasped. "It's only been a few days, aren't you making me and your mother happy?"

Xia Peng shrugged his shoulders: "Dad, Mom, what am I lying to you for? The money is in my card." It's all earned by selling abalone, and that's just the beginning. Our family's investment over the years has come back. ”

Chen Aifen listened, tilted her head and mocked Xiao Jianjun: "You have raised abalone for so many years, and you can't catch up with your son, it's a shame." ”

Xiao Peng hurriedly said: "Mom, don't say that, it's all because Daddy has a good foundation." You are suspected of ruining the relationship between our father and son. ”

The old mother said happily: "What's the damage to this? I can't be happy when I see my son have a chance? You are much better than your father!"

Dad was depressed: "You didn't say that at the time, you forced me to make more money every day, saying that our son is not promising, and you want to make more money for your son!"

"Did I say that?" said Mom, pretending to be stupid.

The family of three talked and laughed and arrived at the bank. Xiao Peng looked at it, good guy, there are really a lot of people.
