Chapter 386: Workshop
The preparation of pork jerky is a bit more difficult, because pork is different from chicken, some places are fat, some places are lean, and some places are pork belly.
Xie Rongzhao was making pork jerky for the first time, so he simply asked people to buy a few of them, and then try to see which one tasted the best.
Xie Rongzhao is really difficult to do pork jerky here, it's not that she doesn't want to make beef jerky, it's really that beef is too rare, if there is beef, who is willing to make jerky? It must be bought and stewed at home.
So now she chooses chicken, duck, and pork.
The main thing is that these materials are in stock in Fuyuan Villa.
A large number of chickens and ducks raised in Fuyuan Villa were basically sent to the shops in the capital.
Xie Rongzhao is now experimenting, and he thinks that he can ask Cheng Jingzhou to give an order to encourage farmers to raise more poultry.
This time, Xie Rongzhao's chicken jerky had just been successfully cooked, and he didn't know how the news spread so quickly, so Song Erlang came over when he heard the letter.
"Say hello to Miss."
The Song family was originally the tenant of the Xie family, so even if they knew that she was married, this title did not change.
Song Erlang has been helping to take care of some things in the past few years, and later signed a work contract with the Xie family, the kind that does not sell his body, the salary is not low, and there are all kinds of benefits to be taken.
"Why are you here? But what happened to Zhuangzi? ”
Song Erlang hurriedly shook his head: "No, no!" ”
Song Erlang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Miss, that's the case, my father and aunt heard that you still want a lot of chickens and ducks, so they specially sent me over to ask, do you accept our family?" ”
Xie Rongzhao tilted his head: "How much do you have in your family?" ”
"It's not much, I have more than 20 chickens and more than a dozen ducks."
Xie Rongzhao nodded, "Yes, I want chicken first." Waiting for the back can let your aunt raise more chickens, but poultry is also easy to get sick, when you raise, you must pay attention to cleanliness, don't let the chicken get sick. ”
"Yes, Miss don't worry, keep the words here."
"Come on, then you can go back and ask which family has more chickens, and you can sell them to us when the time comes." It's not right, the specific address and price will be notified to you at that time, but there is one point, this price cannot be higher than the braised vegetable restaurant, you have to know it in your heart. ”
"The little one understands."
Xie Rongzhao shouted at him again: "You can also talk to the nearby villages or your acquaintances, and say that the county government may want to buy a large number of poultry and fat pigs, so that they can pay more attention." ”
"Yes, the little ones will do it."
Cheng Jingzhou specially invited the owners of several inns to come over, and said the meaning of the county government, the old men of the passenger line should not do anything, if this major event is done, then the business of their inn in the future will definitely be good, this is a good thing, then it must be done.
In addition, Cheng Jingzhou also ordered people to send these chicken and pork jerky to restaurants or taverns where merchants often gather in the county, so that they could also put them out specially so that those merchants could have a long look.
In addition, Cheng Jingzhou also specially ordered people to set up a stall on the wharf, but only let those merchants taste it, not sell it, if they wanted, let them find a person named Ding Datou to talk to.
Ding Datou is a native of Feng County, with an average family background, but he is honest and loyal, so after Cheng Jingzhou examined it, he had the heart to let him be the manager of this workshop.
Since he wants to set up a workshop, it can't really be made official, and officials are not allowed to get involved in business, so Cheng Jingzhou let Xie Rongzhao's side occupy a large share, and the other few small shares were given to some decent local people.
Although officials are not allowed to get involved in business, Xie Rongzhao came forward to give the county government a component, and the external saying is that 10% of the profits are taken out every year to improve the situation of the people in Feng County, and the main purposes are: road repair, disaster relief, help orphans and widows, and so on.
In this way, this is equivalent to crossing the clear road, that is, the criminal department will investigate, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Cheng Jingzhou doesn't understand some of the twists and turns, but Xie Rongzhao understands that she hasn't done anything else in the past few years, and she is thinking about how to make money.
If everything goes well, the income of this workshop in the next year will definitely be more than 1,000 taels of silver, even if the minimum of 1,000 taels of silver is calculated, and 100 taels of silver are filled into the county treasury in vain, it is also a merit.
What's more, once this workshop can be completed, the effect will not only be the income of the workshop, but also a series of benefits such as local restaurants, inns, shops, etc.
Xie Rongzhao began to write and paint, just thinking that he could get on the right track as soon as possible, and then let the workshop make money as soon as possible.
Cheng Jingzhou's method is very good, less than half a month, the kind of pancakes that are easy to store and can be filled, the key is that the price is still cheap, and it has entered the eyes of people from all walks of life.
Some merchants who traveled from south to north didn't think this thing was so novel, after all, Tai'an Mansion had it.
But the problem is that the pancakes they make here in Fengxian seem to have more types than those in Tai'an Mansion, and they are also more abundant in terms of eating methods.
In this way, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.
This attention naturally stopped and wanted to find out more information.
In this way, the business of inns, restaurants, and tea shops was brought up.
The business of these few lines of them has risen, and even the vegetables and poultry raised by those farmers have been marketed, and even the business of some servants has improved.
On the day the workshop was completed, Cheng Jingzhou, the county magistrate, naturally wanted to go to help in person.
The Sanjin mansion that originally belonged to Li Yue was directly changed into three independent courtyards.
Especially in the inner courtyard, the doors in front of it were directly sealed.
The original front yard is now mainly responsible for entertaining merchants from all over the world, and in addition, according to Xie Rongzhao's requirements, some samples are prepared in the front hall for the merchants to taste, so as to decide whether to buy or not, how many goods to buy, and so on.
In addition, the front yard also brought out the original independent courtyard, which is mainly responsible for some physical work, such as the need to use saucers, stone grinders and other things, and the workers here are some strong men.
They only make some semi-finished products here, and then there will be special servants to carry them to the inner courtyard.
Of course, if you go to the inner courtyard now, you can't go directly, you have to come out of the front yard first, and then go around half a circle to walk through the newly opened gate, where there is a mother-in-law guarding the door, and the little maid is only responsible for putting things down and going back.
After that, the delicate work depends on the female workers in this courtyard.
Of course, the people who are really in charge of technology are now Xie Rongzhao's henchmen, after all, this workshop has just been built, and she doesn't want to make a name for herself on the front foot, and someone will steal the recipe on the back foot.
Xie Rongzhao feels that this workshop is of great significance, after all, it is not only about whether she makes money, but mainly about being able to help so many ordinary people, and it is also a merit of her husband, and there can be no mistakes!
