Chapter 624: Second-hand
"Five-flowered horses, breeze sword, infinite ...... rivers and mountains"
Ma Chao was beside his own exclusive stove, humming a small song, reaching out and grabbing the dried wine lees, holding it hard to feel the moisture before throwing it back, and then picked up the shovel and turned it over.
This place of winemaking is Ma Chao's exclusive territory, and generally if he doesn't call for help, no one will come at all. In fact, he won't call people to help, he has been following his father to help in the work of making wine since he was in junior high school, and then his father was dizzy from alcohol poisoning every day, and he began to take on this job alone.
People who don't know only think that this is because Ma Chao is very concerned about his winemaking skills, and he is afraid that others will come to learn it. In fact, it turned out that the first people who came to the venue knew that Ma Chao was not looking at the technology of his own wine-the technique of local winemaking is really simple, and it is not worth mentioning.
What he saw was the lifeblood of the audience, the addition of the 'secret feed' provided by Boss Yan. Because of this, those who know have consciously or unintentionally helped him create an image of 'I am in charge of my territory, and others are not welcome to disturb'.
When the sake lees are half-dry, he will mix those bone meals, then mix them well, and mix them up, and when they feed the cattle every day, they will be mixed into the feed - in addition to the green storage feed, dry feed, pasture grass and grass, and some oil cake bran and the like, add one more sake lees into it, and the average person can't understand it, just think that this is a reasonable feed formula tested in the field.
In the middle of the sake pot next to it, there is a thin rubber hose connected to a large pot below, and if you listen closely, you can hear the subtle sound of the flow of sake. The freshly distilled sake smells particularly good, and the alcohol is obviously quite high, but when you drink it in your mouth, the wine with temperature makes you feel very smooth, and it is a completely different feeling from the cold sake you usually drink.
When Ma Chao was a child, he was deceived by this feeling, at that time, he took advantage of the family to go out, curiously took a large bowl of steaming wine and tasted it, and thought it was delicious, so he couldn't help but taste it again...... After tasting and tasting it, he didn't know what was going on next, anyway, when he opened his eyes again, the family had eaten dinner and was enjoying the shade in the yard.
Up to now, because there is still something about his father, Ma Chao makes wine, even if the wine smells good, he will not take the initiative to drink it. At most, drink occasionally when necessary.
Turning over the lees, he took out a small notebook, recorded it, and then went to the slaughterhouse behind him, and continued to take the notebook to record.
Lin Yumei has been busy here for a long time, Lao Gao and several slaughtering workers are busy sweating, and the scene really doesn't look good. The divided meat is piled up together, some of which will be taken to the provincial capital, some will go to Xiangjiang, and Chen Yingjun's side.
Of course, more of them stay in the local area, and some of the butchers and restaurants who are waiting outside will be taken away, and the rest will be sent to the jerky factory to be processed into beef jerky.
Seeing Ma Yue coming, Lin Yumei handed him the notebook she was recording in her hand, and she went to the front to be busy.
The advance payment received for high-grade beef is fixed each time, but the beef pulled away each time is not fixed, and there will always be some differences. Therefore, it is necessary to make a record every time, and it is necessary to calculate the price in time and summarize it - when the advance payment is used up, it will be reconciled with the customer, and if there is no problem, continue to let them pay the advance payment for the next period of time.
In addition to high-end beef, the ordinary beef sold on the spot also includes offal and so on, all of which are paid on the spot, and the money must be recorded. Including the last one sent to the beef jerky factory - this must not be sent over, there must be a record of correspondence.
Now the sunspots are mainly busy with construction, and Lao Gao has no problem doing his work, but it is not so reassuring to do what he is worried about. Xiang Rui's own financial affairs are busy enough, and he can't take care of anything else, and Ma Chao and Lin Yumei have to be responsible for these things in the field.
In addition, Ma Chao and Lin Yumei also have to record the entry and exit of cattle in the field, how much pasture straw is sent to the township, and how many people are usually hired to work in the field.
The cattle that came in were the cattle sent by the cooperative farmers in the township, and some of them were the calves that had been promised to be bred in the farm. Now that Heizi and his brother Xiao Hei have arrived, Ma Chao and Lin Yumei are much easier - when it comes to valuing cattle and talking about prices with those farmers, Xiao Hei, who was born in the cattle economy, is familiar with this kind of thing, and no one else needs to worry about it at all.
And now Zhang Hui and the two little veterinarians will also have records in and out of the cattle, and the old stationmaster, the old man, is in charge. The Marin duo is actually a lot easier.
Most of the time, they just wait for the veterinarians to check the cattle and register the cattle, including those that are to be slaughtered in the near future.
Finally, all the records and cash received, after they check each other, will be summarized to Xiang Rui to form accounting data for preservation.
Of course, Xiang Rui is far more than that, and now Pang Fa has become a big stall. The beef jerky is self-produced, and the accounts are easy to manage, but the bisporus mushrooms, earthworms, etc. collected from the farmers, although they are all small accounts, but they are always accounts, and you can't ignore it because of the lack of money!
In addition, the number of farmers who raise earthworms and grow bisporus mushrooms in the township is slowly but surely increasing. Again, when there is no way to make money, people can only be idle, once there is a way to make money and life has hope, the peasants' enthusiasm for labor is really scary.
The day of each cattle slaughter is the busiest, Pang Fa sits in his beef jerky factory, buys the bisporus mushrooms and earthworms that are delivered, and at the same time sells some of the bisporus mushrooms - those restaurants will also buy some appropriately, and other vegetables can be purchased at will, but Bisporus mushrooms have always been handed over and over again by the farm.
There are also reasons for this, firstly, the purchase volume of those restaurants is not large, and secondly, the supply of farmers is unstable. If farmers take the strain technology from the field, they will also trust the field more, after all, relying on the restaurant is a bad thing.
The restaurant also feels that relying on the farmers is unreliable, the supply and the quality of the mushrooms are unstable, it is better to buy them honestly from the field - Pang Fa also has to command people to screen and classify the bisporus mushrooms according to different qualities, and there is no need to choose the best one in the hotel, and the price is more affordable.
The day-to-day business model of these farms has developed a set of processes, whether it is slaughtering cattle or buying earthworm mushrooms, which are fixed according to the day when customers come to pull goods, unless the weather is particularly bad.
In short, when Boss Yan was away, everyone also did whatever they had to do according to the work assignment and arrangement in the past, as long as nothing special happened, it was the same with him or not.
When it's time to eat, everyone gathers together, and whoever has something that needs to be discussed by the big guys will say it, and everyone will solve the problem with their jobs. If you really can't solve it, you will call Boss Yan and ask.
When the big guys were busy working hard for Boss Yan, Boss Yan was standing in the kitchen of a small restaurant with his daughter-in-law, pointing to the strange little creatures in the basin and ordering: "One from that sea rainbow, a few oysters, and some climbing shrimp." And the little mullet, the yellow tip fish also have some ......."
The proprietress of the hotel is a simple local, because she speaks in dialects, she is afraid that the two of them will not understand, so she tries to slow down the speed of speech and remind: "Little brother, there are only two of you, if you order too much, you can't eat, right?"
Xu Xiaoyan glanced at it: "What we want is a small portion, are you all such a large portion?"
The proprietress explained: "This is a small portion. ”
Yan Fei didn't care: "It's okay, I have a big appetite, I can eat as much as I want." ”
"This is your first time with us, right? If you didn't eat a lot before, you wouldn't be used to eating too much of these things from the sea at once. The hostess reminded.
"Okay, I'll serve what I just ordered first, and I'll order it when I don't have enough to eat in a while. Yan Fei replied with a smile.
If you go to a big restaurant, people won't care how much you order, whether you can eat or not, and it is this kind of small place, where people are much more simple, and will remind guests that they don't need to order too many dishes.
The proprietress asked another sentence that made Yan Fei and the others very puzzled: "Just order these, don't you order some meat dishes? ”
After Yan Fei asked, he understood that the local people did not think that seafood was considered a meat dish, only pigs, sheep and beef could be counted. The two of them also saw the wild food that the proprietress said, it was some pheasants and hares - there are many mountains nearby, and there are really a lot of these things. It's just that Boss Yan is tired of eating these things and is not interested at all.
Yan Fei really didn't know that the local people called seafood not meat dishes, in fact, he felt that he had learned the local customs and habits very quickly by going this way. For example, when he ordered food just now, he said that oysters are the local name, but they are actually clams, or oysters.
As for the sea rainbow, it's a mussel. The small mullet is also the cuttlefish, since a small word is added, it is very small, and it will definitely not be the kind that is a few meters deep in the sea.
After the proprietress finished explaining to the two of them, Yan Fei was also a little speechless, these things are all raised in a water basin, each of them is alive, and it is not called meat dishes, which is no one.
But for the others, Yan Fei and the two were really not interested, so they smiled and said, "No need, these are fine." We didn't want to stay here, but we smelled the smell of your kitchen from afar, and thought it was very authentic, so we stopped here. If it weren't for this smell, we would all be running to the beach now!"
As half a cook, Yan Fei still has a say in the problem of eating. It's not like he hasn't made these seafood things himself, although the creatures of the dinosaur world are different from those of modern society, but there are always some things to figure out.
Unexpectedly, just this sentence made a chef who was busy cooking next to him hear it, and he immediately became happy and yelled at the proprietress .
He said it too fast, and Yan Fei and the others didn't understand his local dialect, but the proprietress looked like she was being trained at first, and then she turned her face and said to the two of them with a smile: "We are in charge, and the two of you are afraid that you will not be able to finish eating if you are a large portion." Otherwise, these dishes will be ordered by others, and when I cook them later, I will make more for you, and I will serve you less, so that you can eat a few more, okay?"
Yan Fei nodded: "That's better, I'm sorry for you!"
The proprietress said repeatedly: "Don't bother, don't bother, you come all the way to us, you are a guest!"
As a result, she was happy when she ate, and Miss Xu Xiaoyan's mouth never stopped, except for eating, she was laughing.
It's so happy, when the restaurant is served, there is a little bit of something on a big plate? Especially with Yan Fei, the big stomach, basically as long as there is something in the kitchen, they will bring them a little.
There are two crabs, a pair of climbing shrimp, two abalones, two sea cucumbers, conch, razor clams, scallops...... It's all one-to-one, and you can put two on a big plate, which is so fun to watch.
When the people eating in the restaurant were almost gone, a large number of plates were piled up on the table of the two, so that the other guests in the hotel were staring at them - it was not excluded that many people were looking at the girl beautifully, and took this opportunity to pretend to look at the plate and look at the girl twice.
When it came time to settle the bill at the end, even Miss Xu Xiaoyan, who was slamming the door, was embarrassed: "We have eaten so many servings, why is it so much money, we can't let you lose money, Xiaofei, you give more." ”
"We are a small restaurant, so there are no expensive things. Charging twenty yuan is already a lot, so don't be polite to the two of you. "The hostess is really down-to-earth. "The two of you think it's okay, come and eat with us next time!"
Because the girl was relatively full, Yan Fei was not in a hurry to leave, so she took the girl around the town. After strolling around the market, I realized that the price of what I ate here is really not expensive - like climbing shrimp and sea rainbows, the cheap ones are compared with the Chinese cabbage in Wancheng.
Mainlanders think that when it comes to seafood, it must be a very expensive thing. In fact, in this small town that is still a hundred miles away from the sea, there are many so-called seafood due to land conditions, which are not as expensive as green vegetables.
It's strange that the two of them went to the beach before, and they all followed the young masters and ladies of the Guo family, and they never went to too cheap places to eat.
When the two of them were shopping, in a shop selling dried seafood products, they also met a middle-aged man who could understand their Sanchahe dialect.
After chatting with this person for a while, the two of them knew more about the situation here, for example, this is a five-day market, for example, this place is obviously planted with apple trees, but it is called a peach blossom village and so on.
Although it is useless to know this, it can be regarded as seeing the customs and customs.
Although the name of Peach Blossom Village is beautiful, it is not a rich place. This is a hilly area, the local fields are not good, and the yield of wheat and corn planted is not high, not even half of the yield of Wancheng, only the yield of peanuts is relatively good.
Although there are special apples here, but the transportation is not convenient in these years, especially in this place with mountain roads in the majority, the traffic is not convenient, and the degree of prosperity of people is still not high.
When the two of them bought some dried seafood products, said goodbye to the man who had been a soldier in Wancheng and got into the car, Miss Xu Xiaoyan sighed: "It's all you, I knew that things in small places are so cheap, so we shouldn't just go to big cities to play." ”
Both of them have been in this area for the third day, and the first two days were spent in the big city. Both of those cities are tourist cities, and it is certainly not too cheap for takeaways. It was a mess that came to such a small town, which satisfied the girl's appetite a lot - the girl's picky temperament, the things over there are expensive, she didn't let Yan Fei order more, and the food she ate in two days was not as many as this meal.
Yan Fei smiled: "That's our luck, we just happened to meet a good person, if it is a local who deceives people, then what should you do?"
The girl couldn't help but glance at the town she had just passed by: "Anyway, I think it's pretty good here." ”
If the proprietress knew that she had sold this girl with only one meal, she would probably be proud.
Seeing that Yan Fei didn't speak, the girl took out a pear from a bag and sharpened it with a fruit knife. Yan Feizhi was worried: "You can't just peel the skin in the car?"
The girl didn't raise her head: "If you don't talk and don't disturb me, I'll be fine!"
Yan Fei had no tricks, so he could only try to drive the car smoothly.
After peeling the skin, the girl put the pear in her mouth and took a big bite, and then stuffed the rest into his mouth: "Eat, hum!"
Then take another one and continue to peel it with emotion: "The pears here are also delicious, better than ours, and there is no dregs after eating......
The local pears in Sanchahe Township are the kind of big and delicious to eat, but at the end of eating, I always feel that there is something woody in my mouth - the locals say that this is scum.
As the girl spoke, her wrist flew, and in the blink of an eye another pear was peeled. This time, she didn't eat it herself, but handed it to Yan Fei's mouth first: "Try this kind of pear, it's also very delicious, it's like our noodles and melons over there." ”
Looking at the peel of the pear in the bag on the girl's leg, she realized that the two pears she had just peeled were not the same kind.
Yan Fei took a bite and said, "Not bad, that water is sweet and there is no slag, and this noodle is also very delicious." ”
The girl was happy: "This is my wife's pear, haha, you are an old woman if you eat it......"
The old woman's pear she said is also a local specialty, and the two of them bought it on the road. This thing is even more inconvenient to transport, and there is no such fruit sold in Wancheng.
Yan Fei Yele: "Yes, it's my wife's pear, it's my wife who fed me!"
Although the girl had long been accustomed to his 'gibberish', she still blushed slightly every time she heard him say this. Flew him a look, saw that he was driving, didn't bother him, just bared his neat little white teeth, and viciously bit the old woman's pear.
The two of them didn't stop on the road this time, and drove all the way to the easternmost seashore - the girl had eaten a lot of this meal, and she had just bought a lot of dried seafood products, many of which could be eaten directly, and she was not afraid that she would be hungry.
Yan Fei recalled the map in his memory, and decided to take this place as his destination, and there was no way to go east. Less than 400 kilometers away in a straight line, there is a city there, which is already the capital of a foreign country.
found a hotel to live in, and at night, Yan Fei asked the girl to sleep first, and went out for a walk by herself.
When it was dawn, Boss Yan dialed a number and said mysteriously: "Qiansuo, I bought some instruments, second-hand goods, and now on the beach, do you want to come and see?"
