Widow Xie, Ji Xuelan, and Ji Mingfang, the three of them sat side by side in a row, staring straight ahead.

On the wall in front of him, a rectangular wooden board was hung, and Ji Yu used charcoal that had been burned through and cooled to sketch on it.

"If the fragrance is stronger and the meat is thicker, it should be soaked in hot water, and the soaking time should be longer; If the odor is small and oily, soak it in warm water; It is easier to make incense, just room temperature water.

There are many impurities and peculiar smells in bitter spices, so they are generally soaked in liquor with dissolving and penetrating effects, which can make the peculiar smell of spices easier to remove.

Of course, the method of soaking and the length of time should also be flexibly controlled.

For example, when processing grass fruit, the smoky smell on the surface should be washed away with clean water, and then soaked in liquor. The white cocoon should also be rinsed with water to remove the sulfur smell remaining on the surface before entering the liquor soaking process.

As for those spices that are fragrant and fat-soluble, simple soaking cannot completely volatilize their fragrance, and they must be fried. ”

Ji Xuelan raised her hand, "If the method of frying is used when concocting, then after soaking, do you have to fry it again?" ”

"The two have different purposes and do not conflict."

After Ji Yu answered her question, she thought about it and added

"Normally, we don't need this second stir-fry, it is mainly for single-flavor spices, before stir-frying, put it in the oil pan to fry, which is different from the dry pan stir-fry in the processing stage."

"Since you don't need it, don't you need to learn it?"

Ji Xuelan wished she could reduce her burden, but Ji Yu's words shattered her dreams.

"Not absolutely.

Although we focus on compound spices, and compound spices are mostly processed and ground into powder, and then blended, there is really no need to learn what pretreatment before use.

But the line of single spices does not necessarily have to be cut.

Compound spices are not suitable for all times, and stews, for example, are more suitable for a combination of multiple single spices. When customers come to buy, we always have to explain to them how to use it, then you must first understand the doorway.

In case we derive some non-staple foods and other things in the future, you can't just understand it, you have to be able to make it. ”

After listening to it, the pressure was even greater......

Ji Xuelan gritted her teeth, silently recited a few sentences, and then asked, "What should I pay attention to when frying in an oil pot?" ”

"When frying in an oil pan, the oil temperature is the key, and you must not heat the oil violently, otherwise it is easy to fry the spices and scorch. At the same time, pay attention to the order in which the spices are put into the pot.

If the fragrance is slow, it should be put first, such as star anise, cinnamon, grass fruit, etc.; If the incense comes out quickly, it should be put later, such as bay leaves, cumin, thyme, etc. In this way, we can ensure that the fragrance tends to be consistent.

Generally speaking, the small particles will produce fragrance faster, and the slow fragrance is more because the size is relatively large. Therefore, such as star anise, cinnamon, and grass fruit, they can be crushed and then put into the pot with the fragrant spices, which can save a lot of time. ”

Ji Mingfang said, "If this is the case, then when soaking in the previous step, when you encounter a large and hard spice, is it better to knock it open and soak it again." ”

"It's not bad to draw inferences."

In addition to receiving Ji Yu's thumbs up, Ji Mingfang also received eye worship from Ji Xuelan and Widow Xie.

He coughed, slightly stunned.

Ji Xuelan looked at her younger brother, her eyes full of pride.

Widow Xie is different, she is envious, but also a little anxious.

Seeing that the eldest sister and brother asked one after another, and the questions were all on the point, how could she still sit still.

They all listened to the lecture together, why are people's brains bright, and when they come to her, their brains seem to be rusty?

Widow Xie held her breath and stared at Ji Yu tightly, trying to find a loophole, or catch a word that she could catch.

Ji Yu could see at a glance what she was thinking, and continued with a smile.

"In addition, there are some special spices, which can neither be soaked nor fried, and must be steamed in a steamer before use, so that the fragrance can be fully developed.

Just like bay leaves, it is made of laurel leaves dried in the shade, and it has a spicy and aromatic aroma, but it can only be steamed to maximize the aromatic flavor, and if it is processed by frying, it can only increase its spicy and pungent taste. ”

"Wait, wait, wait." This time, it was finally Widow Xie's turn to raise her hand, "Girl, what kind of bay leaf are you talking about, we don't seem to have it, right?" ”

As soon as she said this, Ji Mingfang and Ji Xuelan also remembered.

"And some of the ones you mentioned earlier, there doesn't seem to be any planting in the field."

That's a really good question.

"Some spices are not suitable for the climate and soil here in our Kanbei, and some of them take many years to harvest when planted in the ground. The former is helpless, and the latter time does not allow it. ”

"What can I do?" Everyone became worried.

"The solution is already there."

When the medical equipment workshop was just being built, there were a lot of materials needed, some of which were available in the north, and some of which had to be purchased in the south.

Xin Ziqi was assigned to the Chamber of Commerce specializing in procurement, and before leaving, he specially asked Ping An to ask Ji Yu if there was anything he needed to bring.

Ji Yu made a list of spices that she might use but didn't have at home and entrusted it to him.

Speaking of this, she was actually very embarrassed, and the money for the purchase of this batch of spices was paid in advance by Xin Ziqi.

Since the cooperation of hand cream in March, it has been half a year now, and I have returned several times one after another, and now I have just offset the cost, and it will not be long before it will enter a profitable state.

When Xinzi gets the money back, he will give Ji Yu dividends as soon as possible.

But first, this part was originally invested by him in advance, and as far as she knew, it was borrowed from his iron buddies who had played since he was a child.

Second, the anesthetic drugs that the pharmaceutical workshop will focus on research and development in the future, as well as the medical equipment workshop, from preparation to large-scale production, all do not need funds, and money is used everywhere.

At this juncture, where is Ji Yu good to stretch out her hand.

Her original plan was that since she didn't care about anything, she would wait until she entered the profit period to get dividends, and then transfer the dividends to pharmaceutical workshops and equipment workshops, so that she could help Xin Ziqi share some of them.

Who thought that he didn't help, but owed him a sum of money.

Even if the amount of money is not large, it is an indisputable fact that the capital turnover of the Xinzi period is difficult.

The return of hand cream is all invested in pharmaceutical workshops and equipment workshops, which is still a drop in the bucket, and Xin Ziqi thinks about it, so he can only put the anesthetic project on hold for the time being and devote himself to the production of hand cream and equipment.

When these two projects make money, they will be used to support the research and development of anesthetics.

Xin Ziqi never mentioned a word about these difficulties, and it was only recently that Ji Yu inadvertently learned about it from Ping'an.

This is also the reason why she began to rush to earn money.

"It's been a few months, this season is suitable for traveling, water and land parallel, time can be saved by half, the day before yesterday I went to the town to ask, I estimated that I can get there recently."

Hearing her say this, everyone put their hearts in their stomachs.

I'm just a little curious, why is Dr. Naxin so enthusiastic, why is he willing to help with anything?

Ji Yu did not disclose the cooperation between the two, but only deduced that Xin Ziqi was originally old-fashioned.

I was afraid that they would ask again, so I hurriedly said, "Okay, that's all for today, let's get out of class, go back and digest it well, and it will officially start tomorrow." ”

As soon as she heard the end of class, no one really bothered to ask her, and she hurriedly wanted to go home one by one, which was completely opposite to the days of work.

Especially Widow Xie, what I want to hear most these days is the word "class".

Before Dacheng ghost cried wolf and refused to go to private school, she didn't understand it, but now she understands it.

Mother, it's pitiful to think about, I've lived most of my life, and I have to be caught in class.

When I went home these days, the two children in the family met and asked, "Mother, are you out of class, what did you learn today?" ”

Widow Xie left in a hurry, Ji Mingfang was struggling, Ji Xuelan thought that he had any questions to ask Ji Yu, so she didn't wait for him, she went home to cook first.

"Xiao Yu......" Ji Mingfang spoke, with a hint of hesitation and struggle on his face.

Seeing his expression, Ji Yu knew that what he asked would never be about spices.

Sure enough—
