Chapter 111: Another Set (3/3)
Fragrant, spicy, fresh.
These three words are enough to accurately describe the characteristics of spicy tempeh sauce.
The spicy chili peppers, the aroma of tempeh and rapeseed oil, and the freshness of the secret ingredients combine to create this special sauce.
Looking at Yang Guiping, who was still unsatisfied, Wu Xiaozheng asked with a smile: "How about it, do you think this flagship product I am about to launch will sell well?"
"It has to sell well!"
Yang Guiping praised it first, and then asked, "In addition to eating the noodles below, what other ways to eat?"
Wu Xiaozheng said mysteriously: "You use chopsticks to directly pick a little and put it in your mouth to taste it." ”
Yang Guiping tried it as he said.
Then he was surprised and said, "It tastes good to eat it directly!"
"That's right, a bachelor like you, always have a bottle of Lao Gan Ma at home, not only can you use it to eat noodles, but when you don't want to stir-fry, you can also use it directly for dinner. Also, when you stew pig's feet, stir-fry meat, stir-fry chicken, or cook any dish, add a little Lao Gan Ma to it, and the taste will be completely different. ”
Wu Xiaozheng did not hesitate to seize the name of Lao Gan Ma first.
Although he already has the upcoming general brand of Chef Wu, he doesn't want to let go of the name Lao Gan Ma, and he plans to use it as a special name for the spicy sauce flavor series products.
The name Lao Gan Ma is really too powerful in later generations.
Wu Xiaozheng remembers that when many people go to supermarkets or small shops to buy various brands of spicy tempeh sauce, they call it not spicy tempeh sauce, but directly call Lao Gan Ma, especially in rural areas and small cities.
So this name, Wu Xiaozheng, must be shamelessly occupied in advance.
What he just said is exactly the correct way to eat the old godmother, but it's not all.
Yang Guiping was immediately moved and said, "Fill me with a big bottle, and I'll take it away in a while." ”
He didn't mind being ridiculed as a bachelor by Wu Xiaozheng at all.
Wu Xiaozheng nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Actually, that's what he wants.
If Yang Guiping just felt delicious after eating, and didn't have the idea of taking it away, he would be unhappy.
In fact, that's how the real old godmother came out.
It is rumored that Tao Huabi, a genuine old godmother, did not work as an old godmother before giving birth to Lao Gan Ma, but opened a noodle restaurant, because the noodles were filled with homemade tempeh chili sauce, and the business was not bad.
But Tao Huabi found that the people who came to eat noodles didn't seem to come for her noodles, but for her tempeh chili sauce, after eating the noodles, each guest had to buy a little tempeh sauce to leave, and some people even came directly to buy the sauce, which gave her the idea of mass-producing Lao Gan Ma.
What Wu Xiaozheng needs now is this effect, to make Yang Guiping remember the taste of this sauce, not the bowl of noodles just now.
Yang Guiping asked curiously: "Since you have such a good sauce, why didn't you launch it earlier?"
Wu Xiaozheng smiled bitterly.
It's not that he doesn't want to launch it sooner, but because he has a hard time.
To be honest, he himself is not completely satisfied with this sauce, and the main reason is because of the addition of monosodium glutamate to this sauce.
It's not that MSG can't be added.
In fact, the main raw materials of the famous Lao Gan Ma are dried chilies, tempeh, rapeseed oil, monosodium glutamate and sugar, as well as other tempeh chili sauces.
Even in this era, MSG was used in large quantities as an important ingredient for cooking to enhance freshness, and everyone did not mind the use of MSG in condiments.
But Wu Xiaozheng, who paid attention to health preservation in his previous life and later, knew that eating too much monosodium glutamate was not good for the body, so he wanted to replace the freshness of monosodium glutamate through other animal and plant raw material formulas.
This is not actually impossible, but the cost is a bit high, if you do not use MSG at all, you need to set the price of the product quite high to be cost-effective, which may affect the early promotion of this product, and it will also be in a disadvantageous position in the later price competition.
Therefore, Wu Xiaozheng finally decided not to completely abandon MSG, but decided to launch high-end products without MSG in the future.
In addition to this, there is also a very important issue, and that is the shelf life of this product.
Taking the genuine Lao Gan Ma as an example, its shelf life can be as long as 18 months at room temperature without opening.
But there is a reason for this, because it uses a special process in the production process, called seal sterilization.
This process is also mandatory for most canned foods.
Take the more common canned sugar water in this era as an example.
If you want to keep these canned sugar water for a long time without spoiling, there are only two ways, one is to add preservatives to the cans, and the other is to use sealing sterilization technology.
Needless to say, although this way can also be guaranteed, the preservatives themselves are harmful to the body, so only some small manufacturers will secretly use this method in order to save costs, which is also the reason why some unknown brands of canned sugar water are sold cheaper.
The most correct method is naturally sealed sterilization.
When using this method, it is necessary to use special sterilization equipment to put the packaged product into the machine together with the packaging (canned food bottles, vacuum packaging, etc.), and after instant high-temperature sterilization of more than 100 degrees Celsius and rapid refrigeration, it can not only damage the original taste of the product, but also allow the product to be stored aseptically in a sealed state for a long time.
In these two methods, Wu Xiaozheng naturally disdains the use of preservatives.
Since he has the idea of making the enterprise bigger, stronger and longer, he must have the consciousness of being a conscientious enterprise from the beginning.
Sealable sterilization machines are not cheap.
Wu Xiaozheng looked through the information brought back by Yang Guiping a little last night, and found that the cheapest machine for use cost more than 30,000 yuan.
Where does this lead him to find money?
This is also the reason why Wu Xiaozheng deliberately wanted to make a note for Mayor Yang this morning, because he was going to use Mayor Yang again.
Isn't that a bit unkind?
Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but smile, but still spoke.
He first told Yang Guiping about his difficulties.
Yang Guiping was also in a dilemma, and said: "So, this pasteurizer has to be bought?
Wu Xiaozheng smiled again and said two words lightly: "Loan." ”
Mayor Yang immediately jumped up and said, "I knew that your things were not so delicious, eating yours was really soft-mouthed, and you were setting me up again!"
After venting his dissatisfaction, he asked again: "You don't have anything now, why should the bank lend you a loan?"
Wu Xiaozheng asked rhetorically: "Who said I don't have anything?"
