0224 Planning
Xu Yi checked around and found that there were finally only those woody seasonings left.
After a while, a few pepper plants grew more gratifyingly. The pepper leaves are thick and plump, looking oily, and have climbed to the top of a bamboo pole that is almost four meters high.
I think that if it weren't limited by the height of this bamboo pole, there is a chance that this thing would have grown taller.
Several peppers are full of red, red, green and green fruit ears from top to bottom, and the color of the ripe peppercorns is ruddy, and the unripe peppers are green and crystalline, and the color is very beautiful. It's just that some red peppers or berries have begun to dehydrate and dry out because they have been ripe for too long, and they look a little wrinkled.
Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and moved the ladder over, ready to harvest the pepper.
If you plant pepper again, you must limit the height of this thing, and you have to carry a ladder to pick pepper, what is going on?
The ripe or incomplete peppers naturally have to be picked and placed separately, so Xu Yi climbed up the ladder with a plastic bag and picked the whole bunch of peppers that were red and bright.
However, it is obvious that a lot of peppers have passed the best picking period, and when Xu Yi picked, many ripe ears were touched, and the half-dried peppercorns on them fell to the ground with a bang. After a while, a red layer was laid on the ground.
Xu Yi checked that there were no whole bunches of fully ripe peppers on a few peppercorns, so he collected the peppercorns that fell on the ground and put them together, making a big bag.
After reading some information, Xu Yi can be regarded as knowing why the germination rate of the pepper planted at the beginning is so low that it is pitiful for Cheng Dù.
Xu Yi knew that black pepper and white pepper were the same thing, but after all, he didn't know anything about this thing.
He had always thought that those black peppers were ripe peppers. As a result, after reading the book, I realized that I still made a big fuss.
This black pepper is not made from ripe and unripe peppercorns at all, but by the browning enzyme in the inner cells of the pepper cells. The flesh of the fruit turns black.
And these fully ripe pepper berries like the ones I harvest now will be because the flavor in the berries is not strong enough, so they are generally used to process white pepper by disposing of the outer skin and taking out the middle kernel to dry. Just like the pepper used in traditional Chinese medicine, it is the latter kind.
Or you can't plant so much by yourself, and if you think about it, this kind of seed is not mature at all, how can it germinate?
Xu Yi couldn't help but think that just these peppers sprouted from the red peppers mixed with the black peppers.
Do you have to find a way to peel off your skin?
Thinking like this, Xu Yi reached out and picked up a ripe fruit from the bag and twisted it with his hand, and a spicy sweet smell came to his nose.
This aroma is obviously richer and richer than the black pepper I bought at the beginning. Is there a clear difference between this and green pepper?
Xu Yi picked another one from the reddened ears of pepper on the tree, twisted it, and compared it and smelled it.
After comparison, Xu Yi found that the fully ripe pepper seeds had a sweet aroma, while the unripe peppers were more spicy.
If there is a difference in taste, there will inevitably be a difference in function, which naturally needs to be further clarified by the actual yàn, Xu Yi even thought about waiting for the time to simply try to peel the two and make white pepper to compare the results of the two.
Thinking like this, Xu Yi took another plastic bag and picked off the only few peppercorns on those ears that had just begun to turn red. I also picked up a small half bag.
Carrying the bags to the edge of the tent and pouring them on the bamboo plaques to dry, Xu Yi turned around and walked towards the star anise and peppercorns.
Obviously, after cutting down the linden trees. The bees came again to collect the pollen and nectar, so the trees were pollinated and produced new fruits.
Xu Yi also saw that the watered tea tree had also seen a slightly white green fruit on it.
Of course. Xu Yi is not ready to ask for this tea tree anymore, after this batch of tea seeds is ripe. Xu Yi was going to cut down the tree again.
The space has changed a lot at once, and it is obviously very unrealistic to grow vegetables all at once.
After Xu Yi's calculations. Prepare at most, leave only a quarter of the space for growing vegetables and your own place to move. The rest of the space is naturally used to plant trees or something, and it is not realistic to use it to grow vegetables at all, but it would be too wasteful to be empty there.
Xu Yi thought that he needed to leave some vacant land for backup, so as not to have to cut down trees again if there were new things to plant, which would be easy to say if it was empty, but if it was really busy, it would have to delay the matter if it was not good enough to keep the ears and eyes on the sedan chair.
After all, this is in the space, in fact, it is very easy to manage dozens of acres of fields.
The nutrients in the space are automatically rationed, and there are no infectious diseases or pests, obviously there is no problem of heavy stubble or stubble, so naturally there is no need to consider the problem of crop rotation in cultivated land.
It is naturally very beneficial to save land and manage this space without having to do it in rotation.
Moreover, the space will automatically decompose plant stumps and the like, so that you naturally don't need to turn over the ground, even if you have a little stump and leaves, you can just find a rake and hug it.
There are no weeds and diseases, and you don't have to worry about what weeding and spraying, most vegetables only need to consider the problem of one harvest.
If you really grow vegetables in so many places in the outside world, you can't grow them by yourself.
With just two hands, even if it is 30 acres of grain crops, it is far beyond the capacity of one person to rely on manpower to plant and manage them alone, let alone 30 acres of vegetables.
I'm afraid that if I get Superman over and let him plant and manage this well, he will have to cry too.
Moreover, there are not many things that need to occupy a large amount of land area for a long time.
Needless to say, these woody seasonings of Sichuan pepper ingredients, just find a corner and plant them, the existing trees are enough, such as fennel, cumin and other seasonings I haven't thought about what material to use in the dumpling filling. Even if you plant a penny of land, it's enough for yourself for a long time.
For example, the most common dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, the main ingredients are naturally cabbage and pork. Add flour to the mix, and the ratio of these three is distributed according to one to one. Then one pound of cabbage can wrap three pounds of dumplings.
An acre of cabbage, choose a good variety, under the condition of good management, in the outside world can still produce 10,000 catties per mu, if you can't reach 10,000 catties in this space, isn't it a joke?
Theoretically, this can make 30,000 catties of dumplings, how many people are enough to eat, and how long is it enough?
Even if you have this green vegetable, you can harvest more than 2,000 catties of an acre of land, how much can you use for this bag of dumplings?
It's hard to get started. Even if you open a new store, it's not surprising that there is no business a day.
And this is related to a habit of Chinese people.
People always have a herd mentality. This is expressed in the behavior pattern of Chinese people, who like to queue up and get together, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and children to nursery school...... This is true in every way.
As far as eating is concerned, Xu Yi knows that there are two examples.
In the first three or four years, Tujia baked cakes bloomed everywhere in the provincial capital.
What's even more amazing is that as long as you hang a brand of Tujia baked cakes, there will inevitably be many people queuing up to buy them.
As soon as the baking tray is served, it will be emptied immediately. Business is getting so good.
But the craze lasted for less than a few months, and after the novelty had passed, many of the shops disappeared as quietly as they came.
Even if it's still open. Most of them are also dismal and not many people patronize them at all.
Like Xu Yi also saw, when a chain opened its first pizzeria here in a college town. For half a month, people who queued up in the store every day to eat could be discharged half a mile, but there were still people who would rather go to the back of the line hungry.
Even if those people look around and there is a place to eat. Not many people will go to the restaurant at all.
There are hundreds of women in the family, if the girl in the boudoir does not have a matchmaker. I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, it's either that the door style is not right, or that this girl has some defects nine times out of ten.
It can be seen that queuing is always the best means of publicity, far more attractive to latecomers than price reductions.
If you open a restaurant and no one eats in it, people's first reaction will naturally be: either the chef's skills are too poor or the ingredients are problematic.
Word of mouth or initiative is unlikely to make much difference in a short period of time - especially in a tourist area.
However, the specific situation can only be really known after the opening of his dumpling restaurant.
So at the beginning, if you can't be an instant hit, I'm afraid that even if you have space, you will have to stick to this loss-making deal for a long time.
Xu Yi also believes that if there is no problem with the space, he is afraid that sooner or later, his dumplings will be able to be sold to Cheng Dù, who is in the middle of the market, and at that time, is he still afraid that he will not have the money to engage in development and construction at home?
It's just that the water is far away and does not quench the thirst of the near, and if there is no suitable means at this initial stage, it will be good to have three or two kittens at the end of the day.
If the business is really messed up and there is no improvement for a long time, I am afraid that it is not impossible to use an acre of cabbage for a year!
This is also destined to be the land area that needs to stay to grow vegetables is not too much, if you only consider the current varieties, I am afraid that at most only ten acres and eight acres of land are enough.
Even so, I'm afraid that most of the dishes won't be harvested at all, or they won't have time to collect them.
With so much land, it is naturally more convenient to use mechanized farming, but Xu Yi thought about it and dispelled this idea.
One of them is that they know nine out of ten about these agricultural machinery, and if something goes wrong during use, they don't even know whether it is a failure or improper operation.
And I don't need a complicated machine, if you grow things in the space, I'm afraid that a manpower vegetable planter is enough, and it is more necessary.
As for motor vehicles, Xu Yi didn't think much about it, not to mention anything else, just the size and weight of the agricultural vehicle, how could he get it into the space?
Even if the workbench is such an iron shelf, I will make it fluttering, and if I get a farm vehicle, I am afraid that I can only disassemble it into the smallest parts to get into the space.
Or these things are easy to learn when they are opened, but can you figure out which one is which one is which one of these hundreds or thousands of parts?
I'm afraid that even if I get in, I will end up with a pile of scrap iron. Of course, this space is closed, and there will definitely be no loss of parts, but it's hard to say how many extra parts will come out after installation.
Even if these are not problems, you still have to consider the input-output ratio.
The price of these things is not cheap, this store is not open, and it is not profitable, so if you invest too much, it will be miserable if you can't even recover the cost of buying a car.
If the dumpling restaurant can't succeed, of course, it is impossible for it to really collapse, and you have to find another project, so these investments are likely to be completely idle and useless.
Naturally, it is impossible for me to get the vegetables out and sell the raw materials, and there is naturally no problem with the profits, but it is difficult to hide the origin of the dish.
The better the quality, the more people pay attention to, the higher the possible risk, and small vendors have always been a vulnerable group.
Furthermore, what do you say about the origin of this dish, can you still say: I grew this from my ancestral vegetable growing skills? (to be continued......
