Chapter 264: Sea Participation in Work
In fact, whether it is sugar dried sea cucumber, salt dried sea cucumber or dried sea cucumber, their early processing process is the same, they all need to remove the internal organs of the live sea cucumber, clean it, and then put it in water to cook, the difference is only in the post-processing method.
Dried sea cucumber with sugar is to soak the boiled sea cucumber into a white sugar solution after taking it out, so that the sea cucumber can absorb the white sugar solution. After the sea cucumber has absorbed the sugar, then take out the sugar solution and rinse the surface cleanly, and finally send it to a ventilated baking room for a period of baking, so that the dried sea cucumber is made.
When making dried sea cucumbers, the amount of sugar added can be controlled. If you want to add more sugar, let them soak in the sugar solution for a little longer.
Some sugar dried sea cucumbers, sugar can even account for more than 30%, think about the price of sea cucumbers, and then compare the price of sugar, you will know how much profit there is!
Of course, the quality of this sea cucumber is also very poor, after it is swelled and soft, it is not boiled with water, and it will be broken when you pinch it lightly.
Eating so much sugar into the body for a long time will also bring a lot of health problems. Therefore, the price of dried sea cucumbers is the cheapest among the three types of sea cucumbers.
However, the appearance of the dried sugar sea cucumber is the best among the three types of sea cucumbers, compared with the general color of the salted dried sea cucumber and the dried sea cucumber, the appearance of the dried sugar sea cucumber is black and shiny, giving people a more high-end feeling.
Therefore, there are often some unscrupulous merchants who take advantage of this to deceive some inexperienced consumers.
Salted dried sea cucumber is to soak the boiled sea cucumber in salt water, let the sea cucumber absorb the salt in the salt water, and then take it out to clean off the salt on the surface, put it in the drying box for baking, and the salt dried sea cucumber is made.
Like dried sea cucumbers, the longer they are soaked in salt water, the more salt they will have in their bodies, and of course, the more they will be weighed.
The quality of this kind of sea cucumber is generally a little better than that of dried sea cucumber, and of course, the price will be more expensive.
Dried sea cucumber is a boiled sea cucumber, soaked directly in water after being fished out, and then dried to obtain the product, it can be said that it is the only pure sea cucumber among the three sea cucumbers.
Good quality dried sea cucumbers, after the hair increase, one pound can even get more than 15 pounds of hair products!
Therefore, dried sea cucumber is also the most expensive of the three types of sea cucumber, so this also leads to many unscrupulous merchants who use dried sugar sea cucumber and salted dried sea cucumber to pass off as dried sea cucumber.
Li Xiaofeng's superb wild sea cucumbers, of course, have to be processed in a dried way!
Fortunately, the boiling pot and drying equipment used to process sea cucumbers are also some common equipment on fishing boats, so they can be processed directly on the fishing boat.
The only problem now is that Li Xiaofeng and several of them have experience in processing sea cucumbers before, although they all know the steps, but there are many things that you can do well if you know the method, such as the processing of sea cucumbers involves the heat of cooking, the time of cooking, the speed of stirring during cooking, and so on, many of which require a certain amount of experience accumulation.
If it is an ordinary sea cucumber, Li Xiaofeng plans to arrange someone to get started directly, and he should accumulate experience. It's just that now the quality of his sea cucumbers is too good, Li Xiaofeng is definitely reluctant to use them to practice! ….
In fact, this problem also exists in some large-scale sea cucumber factories, the equipment they use is larger, and when they have time, a pot of sea cucumbers is worth millions, and they must not be able to afford to lose.
But it doesn't matter if they don't dare to operate it themselves, Li Xiaofeng knows that his father is quite proficient in these!
Li Yonglin not only used to handle sea cucumbers at home, but also did odd jobs in factories during the sea cucumber harvest season.
So at this time, he was ready to pick up the walkie-talkie and shake people and ask for help.
"Is the Harvest Horn here, is the Harvest Horn there?"
"Harvest received!" Li Yongmin's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Third uncle, I'm Xiaofeng, is my dad here?"
"Wait a minute, I'll give you the walkie-talkie
Second brother."
"Peak cub, what's wrong?"
"I went to the sea today to catch some very good quality sea cucumbers, although I have seen you handle them before, but I have not used them myself, so I want to ask you to come and help me deal with them!"
"Very good quality sea cucumbers? Okay, I'll be in a dinghy right now!" Li Yonglin said on the walkie-talkie.
In less than half an hour, Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin came to their boat in a rubber boat. After getting on the boat, Li Xiaofeng and several people led them to the place where the sea cucumbers were placed.
Looking at these sea cucumbers in front of him, Li Yongmin couldn't help but sigh: "It's like such a good quality sea cucumber, it's really the first time I've seen it!"
When the two of them saw the white jade ginseng, they were even more amazed. You must know that in many places where sea cucumbers were produced in the past, white jade ginseng was called the "god of ginseng" by the older generation!
After reading it, the two of them immediately began to move. Only by bringing these sea cucumbers out of the work, they can rest assured, in case these sea cucumbers melt, it is really crying without tears!
Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin removed the intestines of the sea cucumber and cleaned the sea cucumber, and cooperated tacitly. Li Xiaofeng and a few of them were also on the side, helping to help and learn from experience at the same time.
Even if Li Xiaofeng and his fishing boat were equipped with all kinds of equipment, it took two or three hours for the two of them to finish processing this batch of sea cucumbers.
Most of this time was spent in the baking process, and this step alone took two hours, and Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin were also very careful when operating.
They explained each step to the four of them while operating, after all, they all knew that the two fishing boats would not always be together, and the next time they encountered this situation, maybe Li Xiaofeng and they would need to deal with it themselves.
Even if it is processed in this way, it must be placed in a cool and ventilated place and continue to drain the moisture in it before it can be considered a finished product.
By the time the sea cucumbers were finished, it was completely dark outside.
Although the location of the two fishing boats is not far away, for safety reasons, Li Xiaofeng plans to let his father and third uncle stay on the boat directly and go back tomorrow morning.
So Li Xiaofeng said to Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin: "Dad, third uncle, don't go back tonight, a few of us will have a drink in a while, and you can go back tomorrow morning!"
Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin glanced at each other, and then Li Yonglin said, "Okay, then we won't go back today, how about we also taste the food on your ship."
