0230 Oak Noodles

It won't take long for those coffees to ripen, and it seems that I will try to process coffee much earlier than processing tea.

But for people like me who haven't even drunk instant coffee a few times, what can the coffee taste like, and will it really become a plate of fried beans?

If that's the case, I'm afraid that this roasted coffee bean really deserves its name.

But it didn't work out, even if he wanted to hit the idea on this thing, he had to find a way to pollinate this thing artificially.

The rest of the things are only a few cork oaks, can I still launch another acorn dumpling?

That seems like a good idea!

When Xu Yi was in school, he wrote in his history books that he always thought that the three-year disaster was caused by natural disasters.

It wasn't until I went back to check on the villagers two years ago that I happened to hear the old people in the village talking about some old things in that era, and I went to look up some information to find out that this was not the case at all!

The three years of natural disasters occurred in the era of the planned economy, and the blind expansion of exports, coupled with the compulsory expropriation of grain, caused a concentrated shortage of grain in the rural areas for a period of time, and this was the real cause of starvation.

The impact of decision-making errors is far greater than that of natural disasters, and the result of such a result can be said to be "three parts of natural disasters and seven parts of man-made disasters."

Very few people in the cities starved to death, but countless peasants died of starvation across the country.

Even the human tragedy of eating one's own child is innumerable all over the country, what a human tragedy!

When the old people in the village mentioned that year, they couldn't help but sigh.

Those years. In fact, there was no disaster in the village, but it was a good harvest year.

It's just that all the grain produced has been pulled away by truckloads. Not even a single ration was left for the villagers.

If it weren't for the acorns all over the mountain, there would also be a bumper harvest, and they would have to go up the mountain to collect acorns to make acorn noodles for a living. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no tragic situation of dying of hunger in the village!

Xu Yi couldn't help but be shocked after checking the facts, and then felt something in his heart -- the people do not fight with the officials, and this cannot but be said to be a kind of fatalistic sorrow of the Chinese peasants who have been unable to protect themselves since ancient times. From the beginning of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the present day, Chinese peasants have never been able to truly control their own destiny, nor have they ever had such ability, and peasants have never really been the masters of their own affairs!

From the old people, Xu Yi also knew how to make this acorn noodles.

Acorn noodles are not difficult to make, but the taste of acorns is bitter and difficult to eat, so you have to treat it before making acorn noodles.

Pick up the acorns and split them with a knife. Pull out the acorn kernels inside. Soak the acorn kernels in water, change the water every once in a while, and when the acorns are no longer bitter, take them out to dry.

After the acorn kernel is dried and ground into powder, it is acorn noodles.

The bitter taste of acorns Xu Yi naturally knows what causes it, and acorns contain a lot of tannic acid.

Tannic acid is easily soluble in water, but although repeated immersion in water can naturally remove a large amount of tannic acid, there will still be a lot of tannin residue in the acorn.

From the acorn, Xu Yi thought of gallnut.

Aphids sting the young leaves or petioles of the salina produce a cyst-like gall. These galls are baked and dried to become gallnut.

Gallnut has a sour and astringent taste, cold nature, and functions to astringent the lungs and stop perspiration, astringent intestines and solid essence, stop bleeding and detoxify.

Xu Yi used to prescribe various medicines containing gallnut to patients with diarrhea.

There are many main active ingredients in gallnut, but the main one is tannin.

Modern real yàn has also proved that the medicinal effect of gallic is mainly achieved by relying on the tannic acid inside.

Tannic acid undergoes condensation reaction with proteins in the form of hydrophobic bonds and hydrogen bonds. This results in a clinically astringent efficacy.

Acorns, which also contain a lot of tannic acid, naturally have a fairly strong astringent effect.

Not only that, but the acorn itself has a very low cellulose content in the solid form. Therefore, if you eat too much acorn noodles, it will lead to very strict stool dryness.

Of course. The strict consequences of this acorn noodle have nothing to do with making such an acorn noodle dumpling by yourself.

Even if you eat dragon meat every day, it is not fragrant, let alone this kind of acorn noodles with a faint bitter taste.

No one is happy to eat this stuff every day. I also ate dry stools. If there was anything else to eat in the village, which of the villagers would eat this kind of thing that even pigs would not want to eat?

You can also add celery and bananas to the dumpling filling with high fiber content to offset its undesirable effects.

Xu Yi didn't want to think about it, but he actually felt that the operability of making acorn noodles was too poor.

The easiest way to make acorn noodles is to collect acorns, and the rest of them are too troublesome to peel and soak in water.

In the future, if you have the opportunity to buy a smaller peeling machine when it is convenient, you can get a larger stainless steel soaking tank, try to dip in running water and then try to launch this thing, for the time being, you do not have such production conditions.

Seeing that there were no other new discoveries, Xu Yi continued to examine those seeds. These common vegetables must be the things that you consume the most, and the dumplings made of these vegetables are the varieties that you need to manage with your heart.

The development of new varieties is of course important, but the conventional varieties of dumplings should be the top priority, not only can not let these dumplings be absent, but also catch up, and then surpass everyone!

The more ordinary and popular things are, the more people will like them, and naturally they are also a must-have variety for all dumpling restaurants. If you lack these conventional varieties, you are afraid that you will already fall behind at the beginning of the competition.

The prices of these ordinary varieties are certainly not too outrageous, and they are not as good as those new varieties with monopoly significance, but the money they make is not necessarily less.

The first thing that attracts anything new can only be those who are adventurous, and the first thing ordinary people think about when facing something new can only be to wait and see. The vast majority of people are unlikely to pay for this new variety if they are not sure that they are satisfied with the taste and price. Only by making these common varieties superhuman can they be convinced that the new varieties will taste just as good.

For that matter. These basic things are the foundation to ensure that your dumpling restaurant has a stable source of customers and has made great progress. And the final sales of these dumplings will inevitably far exceed those new ones. Become your own most profitable variety. It is no exaggeration to say that even if he has developed 800 new types of dumplings. Combined, the profitability may not be comparable to that of one of these conventional varieties.

After all, no matter how many varieties you develop, you can only sell them in batches. Opening a store is not a playhouse, and you always have to consider the input-output ratio and the problem of manpower.

I can make dozens or hundreds of dumplings at once, and if I only sell one copy of each, I have to prepare so many ingredients. Although these materials are produced in the space, they don't cost money at all. However, it is impossible to take out these materials out of thin air and sell them wantonly with your eyes closed, so you have to buy some of the same materials from the outside to cover up.

You can't buy vegetables only once a month or two, right?

I'm afraid that people will be suspicious. The leftover vegetables will even be kept for next year, just like the mooncake filling.

To buy every day, this will naturally increase the cost, but I am afraid that just purchasing these materials will take up too much of my own time.

What's more, if there are too many varieties of dumplings, it will cause considerable trouble to everyone.

From the customer's point of view, more choices often mean more hesitation. Look at the picky eyes, which will make them not know what kind of dumplings to choose.

If it takes five minutes just to read the menu, how many customers can a waiter serve?

In addition, if there are too many types of fillings, it will also cause trouble to the person who makes dumplings. They were in a hurry and at a loss.

Of course, chaos can easily lead to disorder, and disorder means more mistakes.

It can be said that this is a situation that I try to avoid.

I am afraid that most of these self-developed dumplings can only be used to present the characteristics of their own dumpling restaurant in the end. And you can't treat them as the main product, and the ones that sell the most in the end must be these dumplings with conventional fillings.

Radish and cabbage are common farm dishes. The old lady left a lot of seeds. Most of the seeds are fine, but the seeds of this cabbage are not known to have been stored for too long or have been overheated. The color of the seed coat is a little dull and dull, and it does not appear so fresh.

Such seeds are planted in the outside world. The germination rate is not high, and it does not grow well when planted, and it is easy to sprout and flower. However, this will not affect Xu Yi too much, as long as these seeds can germinate.

Anyway, after pouring space water, this kind of seed will also be immediately pumped.

This batch of vegetables is just enough seeds to be bred in order to expand the scale before the official production.

After taking out a gourd and pouring out the seeds again, Xu Yi looked at this kind of seed and smiled dumbly - this gourd still contained chili seeds.

Finding the gourd before, Xu Yi compared the seeds in the two gourds.

Obviously, there are subtle differences in the appearance of these seeds, which do not look like the same variety.

The two gourds were only half filled with less, which obviously indirectly proved their own inference.

The old lady didn't put any labels on these gourds, probably people can naturally judge what is in them based on the different sizes and colors of these two gourds, but she has no way to judge what this kind of gourd is, let alone call Australia for these two gourd seeds.

Xu Yi is going to plant these two kinds of pepper seeds, as long as the peppers bear fruit, he will naturally know what they are. No matter what kind of pepper the merrier, even if it is a green pepper, you can still make dumplings filled with green peppers, and it is also not white.

Fennel seeds are their own, and this thing naturally needs to be multiplied more, not only can you use the seeds as a seasoning, but the fresh stems and leaves of fennel are also very suitable for making dumplings.

In recent years, the population movement has been very frequent, and the non-local population in the provincial capital is almost as large as the locals.

Fennel and homecoming have the same sound, so many northerners like to eat fennel-stuffed dumplings during the New Year's festival to take its meaning of reunion and beauty. Such a dumpling that symbolizes reunion will surely bring a touch of home warmth to outsiders who are far away from their families in the provincial capital and work hard alone.

And whether it is pork or beef and mutton, the taste will be very harmonious with fennel. Even if some people don't like fennel, then replacing fennel with radish can also meet the needs of those who are halal.

If you replace the meat with these fillings with eggs or bean skins, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, which can add a lot of variety, and basically there is no problem with the category in the opening stage.

The business is on the right track, and you can also launch different dumplings with various fillings such as fish and seafood to develop fried dumplings and steamed dumplings...... Try to improve the types of dumplings as much as possible, and try to get as many customers as you can! (To be continued......)
