Chapter 206: Flavored Dried Shrimp
The production of dried shrimp requires a lot of manpower, Xu Ping helped find a suitable candidate, according to the secret recipe given by Lu Qishan, the first thing is to clean the fattened bamboo shrimp, cut off the shrimp feet and long whiskers, but the shrimp head can be retained. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info generally use ordinary shrimp to remove the head, because the ingredients are complex, there are more dirty things, and it is easy to deteriorate if it is not handled well.
However, the quality of the bamboo shrimp produced in the manor is good enough, the shrimp head is mostly shrimp paste, and all the breeding areas are green farming, using deep underground water and mountain spring water, feeding is self-produced wheat ear feed, so basically there will be no dirty residues, Lu Qishan strongly recommends keeping the shrimp head, which will make the dried shrimp add a lot of color, and do not waste any materials.
After cleaning up, the next step is to use warm water to slowly blanch until six to seven mature, can not be cooked too old, too raw is not good, fortunately their bamboo shrimp are about the same size, otherwise it is difficult to control the heat, when doing this step Lu Qishan specially came to give them guidance, he is also very concerned about the production of this dried shrimp, and whether you can eat delicious dried shrimp next depends on this step.
In the process of blanching, appropriate seasonings should be added, Yunli who can get it in the secret recipe is ready, and Lu Qishan, who does not have it, has also found it, Yunli counted more than ten kinds, in addition to the common seasonings such as fine sugar, sake, ginger and shallots, as well as oilseeds, homemade soy sauce, and even some seasonings Yunli has never heard of the name.
According to the steps in the secret recipe, add the corresponding seasoning in the corresponding time period, and wait for almost six or seven ripe to pick up and spread it out immediately, then you need to sprinkle the powder mixed with salt and other seasonings to season again, the amount does not need to be too much, and it can be sprinkled evenly.
After the shrimp is dried for a day, the shrimp meat shrinks and the shrimp shell is detached, at this time the shrimp shell needs to be removed by hand, the shell of the head is difficult to take, be careful not to destroy the shrimp paste, as for the small shell at the end of the shrimp tail can be taken or not, different places have different views and practices in this regard, but the problem is not big, Yunli's practice is to take all of them.
After the shelling, the dried shrimp will come out, according to the secret recipe to dry a few times, so that the moisture in the dried shrimp gradually and completely volatilized, can not save trouble to dry at one time, to dry several times every other day, so that the shrimp meat will have toughness to eat, and it is also conducive to long-term preservation.
After the completion of the work, Yunli and Lu Qishan took the lead in trying the taste, and sure enough, what they made according to the secret method was different, it was obviously better than the ones he and Lu Ci made last time, the taste was delicious, the flavor was unique, and it was directly steamed to eat the most original flavor, and it was also suitable for cooking with other ingredients.
The decision not to remove the shrimp head is correct, although the production steps are a bit cumbersome, but the shrimp paste has a stronger flavor after drying, and it has become the finishing touch of the whole dried shrimp, and it is a must to use it to make soup and porridge.
More than 2,000 catties of bamboo shrimp were finally made into 600 catties of flavored dried shrimp, which is much lighter in weight, but it is very worthwhile. It turned out that he promised to give Lu Qishan twenty catties after it was made, but this guy was very cunning, he took the bag and put it in it, and he didn't weigh it, saying that it was almost twenty catties and he would leave with it, Yunli estimated that he took at least thirty catties, but he didn't bother with him when he was in a good mood, if it weren't for his secret method, he wouldn't have been able to make this delicious dried shrimp.
After the dried shrimp was made, he immediately sent it to Aunt Fang and Lily, a hundred catties, and sent a lot of special products from the manor, all of which can be preserved for a long time, and they don't know if they can come during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's right to send more, and they can also send some to their friends if they can't finish eating themselves.
The employees also got some, which is one of the benefits in the manor, as for friends and partners, Yunli gave them some, Rong Haiming, Lin Changqing, Jiang Wenfeng, Pan Jing and some scattered college classmates, Ren Fei, Wang Chengyuan, Feng Yisong and Gu Ling, they sent a lot.
In addition, nearby friends and partners have also sent, such as Brother Chen, He Gongsheng, some acquaintances in Mingyi Hotel, etc., so there is not much left from home, and some of them are taken to the office building for everyone's public use, and Yun is only eighty pounds away from himself.
But Yunli didn't care so much, anyway, there will be bamboo shrimp in a few months, he has mastered the secret method of production, it is estimated that when these are eaten, the next batch can be made again, if the effect is good, it may be able to be made in large quantities in the future, increasing the added value of the product.
On this day, Xu Lin found Yunli, and it took him half a day to get to the point, his youngest son was in stable condition, but he still needed to recuperate for a while before he could be discharged from the hospital, and now he basically didn't have to worry about his family, his daughter Xu Jiali couldn't find a suitable job in the city, so he wanted her to come to the manor to help.
Yunli thought it was something, there was a shortage of manpower in the manor, and the suitable person would not refuse, so he immediately agreed, Xu Jiali He had also been in contact with her, she was a very simple girl, and there was no problem if she was Xu Lin's daughter.
As for the work arrangement, there is a bit of a headache, she went to learn to cook after finishing high school, but due to Xu Jiajin's illness, she can only drop out of school halfway to do odd jobs, Xu Lin originally wanted her to continue school, or continue to study cooking courses, but Xu Jiali did not agree, she wanted to quickly earn some money to share her mother's pressure.
Manor is short of manpower in many aspects, after discussing with Xu Lin, combined with her character ability, and finally arranged for her to help in Jifangyuan, Xu Lin is very satisfied with this, as for the place to live, he has to settle in the office building first, his home has been abandoned for a long time, but recently it is being cleaned up, it is estimated that he will move back to his home after a while, although the manor is good, but his home is a place to live.
There is no problem with this layer of clouds, there are six dormitory rooms on the second floor of the office building, and now three are vacant, of course there is no problem for Xu Jiali to move in, in order to take care of the need for more accommodation in the future, the third floor is reserved for expansion when the building is built, and four more rooms and a small hall can be built next to the sightseeing roof, and the project is close to completion, and the dormitory in the manor is enough at present.
Xu Jiali came to work in the manor with the consent of Brother Chen and Huang Yunjuan, otherwise Yunli would not dare to do this behind Brother Chen's back, it seems that their family has a tendency to reunite, this is a good thing, Xu Lin's efforts over the years have not been in vain, and after the matter was negotiated, he was full of joy and good news.
The reason why Xu Jiali was arranged to Jifangyuan Yunli also has its own considerations, the main construction of the second phase of Jifangyuan is in full swing, and it is not far from being officially put into use, and there will be the third and fourth phases of Jifangyuan in the future, and the talents who manage the manor urgently need to be increased.
What's more, Lu Ci now helps him share a lot of daily management affairs of the manor, and he has to take care of Xiaoya and himself in his free time, so he should find someone for her to share the work, and after Xu Jiali is familiar with the work in the park, Lu Ci's burden can be easier.
In other words, Brother Chen has been very annoying recently, not because of Xu Lin and Huang Yunjuan, but about his teaching position. With the rapid development of this area, the educational resources have gradually increased, and it is almost time for Brother Chen, a "veteran" who has served over the age, to retire from the line of fire, and he recently received a notice from his superiors that he can officially retire after the end of this semester.
A few days ago, when he went to Luzhen Middle School to deliver dried shrimp to him, Brother Chen also talked to Yunli about this problem, he didn't expect to be able to retire so soon, and he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy for a while, he was really reluctant to leave the podium that he had worked on for decades.
Luzhen Middle School is also about to be renovated, the teaching buildings and school buildings that have been used for many years can finally be replaced, and the infrastructure construction is starting, and it is expected that the students in Luzhen will be able to move into the new learning environment next semester.
Now that the notice has come down, Yun Li knows that no matter how reluctant he is, Brother Chen should let go, he has to let go, he has worked hard all his life, it is time to enjoy his retirement, the manor has already reserved a room for him to live in, he can also travel around or visit friends, life is just as exciting, and Yun Li is preparing a gift for him, I believe that it will surprise and surprise Brother Chen at that time.
Xu Jiali came to report the next day, she has been away from Shanglu Village for so many years, she is very unfamiliar with the surroundings, she has been to Xiaolu Mountain with her friends before, and she has also entered Banlu Mountain to pick wild treasures, but she didn't expect that the changes here are so big, and the scene Xu Xiangjiao described to her is not exaggerated at all.
She didn't want to trouble Yun Li to live back at home, but their house had not been inhabited for a long time, and the furniture and everything were already dusty and moldy and could not be used, so Xu Lin had to tidy up before she could move in, so she had to accept the arrangement of living in the dormitory of the office building.
She didn't have much luggage, she stayed in the staff dormitory under Xu Lin's arrangement, the room was very tidy, and Xu Lin was ready for daily necessities, such a living environment made her a little flattered, since she ran away from home with her mother Huang Yunjuan, the three of them have been living a wandering life, she was still part-time when she was learning to cook, and even slept in the corridor aisle, thinking of that time, she couldn't help but have red eyes.
Xu Xiangjiao and Xu Xiangming were very happy about the arrival of their cousin, and took her to the manor to tour around, introducing other employees to know, the people in the village are not too strange to her, although they haven't seen her for many years, but they still quickly recognized it, this person Xu Jiali felt surprised and warm, and finally she went to the workplace Jifangyuan.
Lu Ci and Shen Hong are very good people, she will not have much problem working here, and her computer knowledge is good, and the general basic software can be used freely, which is very helpful for her to learn how to control the equipment in the park, everything here is strange and expectant to her, plus the help of everyone, she quickly adapted to the working and living environment here.
