880. How is bonito made?
Qin Shiou is not a stingy person, he pays attention to making money together, he left New York the next day, but before leaving, he sealed a red envelope for each employee in the store, ranging from 2,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan.
Butler didn't think it was necessary, because it was what the employees were supposed to pay, and they would get a portion of the dividends at the end of the year, and there should be no bonuses now.
But Qin Shiou insisted on giving, he had his considerations, now he is in charge of supplying the company, sales is what Butler said, and the employees are also managed by him, he has to leave an impression on the employees and let them know who the big boss of the company is.
To put it simply, he gives red envelopes to employees, which is a small buy of people's hearts, so that if someone messes around, he hopes that someone will notify him.
Butler did things vigorously, Qin Shiou returned to Farewell Island on the front foot, and a cargo ship came on the back foot, sending two sets of dried bonito machines.
The first fishery on the west side of Daqin Fishery has a deserted warehouse, I don't know what the fisherman wants to do, the warehouse is large enough, like an indoor gymnasium.
The last time he welcomed Odom for a party, Qin Shiou wanted to use it, but the warehouse had been abandoned for too long, and no one used it, and he couldn't clean it up in a short time, so he had to give up.
This time, to accommodate the machine, the warehouse was just in use, Qin Shiou found a cleaning company, and it took two days to classify and take out the contents of the house.
There are not many things that can be used in the warehouse, most of them are planks, tree trunks, etc., which are not worth much in Canada, especially on Farewell Island, before the country.
In addition, there are a lot of farm tools, Qin Shiou searched for it, and the previous fishery owners may also want to develop farms in the fishing grounds. There are a lot of agricultural vehicle accessories in the farm tools, which Mao Weilong can use. He made a call and asked Mao Weilong to come and take it away.
After attending the wedding of Yan Fei and Song Xuemei in October, Mao Weilong took Duoduo and Liu Shuyan to Australia for a honeymoon trip. I just came back in late November.
After receiving a call from Qin Shiou, Mao Weilong rushed over, and Qin Shiou was stunned when he saw it: ", are you going to Australia or Africa?" You're darker than his Butler, and if you don't wear clothes at night, you can play stealth! ”
Mao Weilong said stupidly: "Fuck you, who knew that Australia is so hot, and the ultraviolet rays will be so strong?" I'm not bad either, is this called black? Blind your 24K titanium dog's eyes, this is called wheat skin......"
"I don't talk nonsense with you. My daughter-in-law's skin can't be wheat-colored, right? "Qin Shiou cares about the cute little girl Duoduo.
Mao Weilong laughed and said: "She is a bronze ......"
"Falk Squid!" Qin Shiou felt distressed.
After the warehouse is cleaned, it has to be painted and simply renovated, at least the roof leaks must be repaired, and this will be handed over to the sea monster, he is handy at this kind of work, and he has saved Qin Shiou a lot of money.
After working for almost a week, the dried bonito machine was put into storage.
Dried bonito is also called bonito, because it is very dry and textured, just like firewood. The color is pale yellow.
Generally speaking, bonito is made into dried bonito, and tuna contains too much protein and fat, although it has long been delicious when they are made into yusheng. But they are also easy to break.
Dried bonito is easy to preserve, and high-quality dried fish can be stored for five years without spoiling, which was invented by the Japanese. And this thing is written in Japanese as Katsuo, and at first glance, you can see that it means to win a battle and be brave.
Originally in Japan during the Warring States period. Dried bonito is one of the military rations, and the portraits of Japanese samurai at the time are exquisite. It is not uncommon to see samurai with a small shield hanging from their waists, which is actually dried bonito made into a round flake, and that thing can really be used as a shield......
Of course, the more important role of dried bonito was as a preparation food, and the samurai could use it to relieve their coal burning needs when they had nothing to eat.
The household practice of this thing is usually to cook the fish first and then grill it dry to reduce its moisture content to less than 10%, and then leave it in a cool place under the premise of keeping it dry like bacon, waiting for it to become moldy.
The dried bonito can be eaten after mold, and the layer of cyano-white mold on the surface is an edible mycelium, which is a companion of dried fish, and its reproduction can curb the storage of other harmful bacteria.
However, now is the era of machine qì, and the quality of handmade dried bonito fish is slow and easy to guide, and the dried bonito circulating in the market is made with machine qì.
The factory of the bonito dried tuna machine sent an old technician, Butler has a lot of energy, this factory does not dare to offend him, the old technician will stay here until the first batch of dried fish is perfectly baked.
Qin Shiou is still a very studious person overall, and after the machine was assembled, he followed the old technician to understand.
This set of machine qì is not simple, including a total of four parts, one part is a distillation furnace, bonito deboning, gutting and then put in, steamed, so that the protein coagulated, it is not easy to deteriorate.
The steamed fish is then placed in a centrifuge that resembles a large washing machine drum, the first step in dehydration, and when the water and gravy are thrown out, the bonito shrinks by 20 percent.
Then, it is also put into the oven to dry, which is the longest process, taking more than ten days. The oven is a hot, dry, lightless, and airy environment, and the bonito is thoroughly dried into wood-like dried fish.
Ultimately, it's reprocessing, and can't dried bonito enter the market like a piece of firewood, so how can people go home and eat it? Therefore, the machine used in this process, similar to a milling machine, sharpens the dried bonito into sawdust like a pencil sharpening pencil.
The dried bonito made from this method has a special name called 'dry knot', and depending on the processing method, there is also a type called 'aratsutsu'.
The method of barren festival is simpler than dry festival, and after steaming, it is smoked and grilled to make it look like smoked dried fish, and the meat of this fish contains a little water, and the meat is relatively soft to eat, so you can drink it.
Of course, the price of dry festivals is higher, because this thing is more real, and one pound can be eaten for a month.
It's no problem to try it out, Qin Shiou waved his hand, and Sha Ke immediately led people into the sea with a harvest, first marking the location of the bonito school, and then fishing for dried bonito.
Shaq said to Qin Shiou: "BOSS, if we want to fish for bonito, we'd better go to the Pacific Ocean." How many bonito can we have in our fishing grounds? Especially now that the water temperature is so low, even if there are bonito, they have run to Florida, right? ”
Bonito are swimming fish, and all tuna are swimming fish, and they are constantly swimming with food and temperature.
But Qin Shiou knew that the transformation of the Poseidon energy had made the bonito schools in the fishing grounds more resistant to temperature, and now there were really large schools of bonito in the fishing grounds.
Of course, this school of fish is not enough to supply the North American market, and Qin Shiou will go to the Pacific skipjack tuna area, but not now. (To be continued......)
