Su Qingluan thought, since he couldn't sleep anymore, he might as well get up and work.
Obviously, more than one person was unable to sleep due to the noise. Many people heard the noise and saw that it was Su Qingluan who woke up. They were embarrassed to continue sleeping and woke up everyone who was still sleeping on the left and right.
Su Qingluan looked at everyone's obviously sleepy expressions and felt a little guilty: "I'm very sorry, I have to prepare all this batch of goods within seven days, otherwise I will make the other party unhappy, not to mention making money, but I have to The bottom line is lost."
In fact, this batch of jam can be prepared within ten days, but Su Qingluan calculated the current progress and felt that it would be safer to prepare a little ahead of time.
Just like when she originally planned that the whole process of preparing jam could be completed in three to five days at most, it seems that she has not taken into account the mutual coordination and restriction of the entire team at all. And judging from yesterday's situation, the number of people reaches a certain level, which is impossible. Controlled accidents will increase.
For example, when Su Qingluan recalled the amount of fruits that were "killed" because the two groups were fighting each other, she felt heartbroken.
It’s not that I feel sorry for anything else, but that while they are wasting raw materials, they are bound to extend their working hours.
And for every day these people work, her "employer" has to pay them one day's wages. Although the original purpose was to provide the villagers with more reserves for the winter, the Xie Mansion's requirements could not be reduced at all.
Everyone got up, and Su Qingluan began to assign tasks. She took a few people to prepare everyone's breakfast and some more portable foods, such as burritos and other easy-to-carry foods, which can keep everyone hungry at noon.
As for the remaining people, Su Qingluan asked them to put the jam that had been boiled until it was thick into the millstone that was washed and dried yesterday, and grind it over and over again.
This millstone is relatively heavy and requires three people to support it and work together in a clockwise direction. Moreover, Su Qingluan bought two sets of millstones as a precaution at that time.
These two sets of grinding discs are not cheap, and they are the best specifications for grinding function at the same time. But because the grinding function is good, it means that the millstone is large and heavy. While three people are responsible for grinding, one controls the jam, and the other controls the jam.
If anyone is really exhausted, the person controlling the entrance or exit of the jam will have to take over.
The remaining few people went to the second floor to tidy up the beds where everyone had slept. In order to avoid suspicion, the entire bunk where men sleep is tidied by men. In the same way, a woman is responsible for the area where women sleep.
Su Qingluan shredded vegetables quickly with her hands, while looking at the grinder whose face was red from holding back the grind.
In fact, she has not considered buying a donkey for grinding, because donkeys are more hard-working and do not require additional labor, so they are more cost-effective than labor.
But considering that her understanding of donkeys was limited to the animal world and cross talk performances in her previous life, Su Qingluan decisively gave up this idea.
After all, the uncontrollable factors of animals are exponentially higher than those of humans, not to mention the price of a donkey is not as cheap as she imagined.
The most important thing is that she hires more people in order to provide more workstations and to "pay wages" to more people more reasonably. But what’s the point of working more efficiently if humans—and more than one human position—are replaced by animals?
She didn't do it to pay for the animals, but instead she might turn the donkey into donkey meat and burn it for the neighbors to satisfy their hunger.
Su Qing looked at the grinders who were gradually sweating profusely due to heavy physical labor in the rustling autumn wind all morning. He couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, these tasks would only take ten minutes with a broken wall food processor. Why should it take so many people and so long to grind things over and over again when they can be dealt with?
But obviously, if you are pursuing a delicate and uniform taste, simply grinding it once with a rough stone grinding disc will obviously not reach the level of a wall breaker. Su Qingluan can only ask them to grind it at least three times to increase the crushing rate.
Fortunately, after last night's processing, the four casseroles originally contained more than half of the pot of raw fruits. After cooking and ripening, the volume of each pot shrank by almost half, which greatly reduced a lot of workload.
So when Su Qingluan's breakfast was ready, the three grindings were completed.
Su Qingluan has already made some mental preparations for himself. Even if he grinds it repeatedly, this kind of jam is definitely not as delicate and even as the one produced by a broken-wall cooking machine. But beyond her expectation, the fruit jam after repeated grinding turned out to be much better than she expected!
And this time, the jam was different from the last time. Due to the different fruits selected this time, while the raw fruit was bright red, the cooked jam in front of me was a crimson color comparable to ruby.
This red color is somewhat similar to wine red, but it can be seen with a slightly transparent feeling in the autumn morning sunshine, and Su Qingluan discovered that this time the fruit should obviously contain pectin, because as the jam The temperature cooled down and it took on a jelly state. Su Qingluan felt that the current jam was a winner, at least visually.
But that doesn't mean that the making of jam ends here. Su Qingluan has not yet added the seasonings and petals containing various flavors, so there is still a long way to go before it is "completed."
But at least these jams have been cooked at high temperatures. Compared with those raw fruits, both the shelf life and the ease of storage will be significantly improved.
Su Qingluan didn't need to worry too much about the preservation of these jams, but she looked at the stock of these jams after they were fully cooked and matured, and then calculated the amount of jams needed for each jar, and found that if they were divided evenly, it would only be enough anyway. It was only enough for twenty-five or six cans, and any more would not be enough.
In addition to the minimum production requirement of ten cans of each flavor, Su Qingluan originally planned to reserve at least two or three cans of each flavor as backup to prevent accidental bumps.
In other words, these jams are full of money, but they are only enough to make two flavors. There is another flavor that requires picking at least half of yesterday's quantity again.
And today's task is not just as simple as picking fruits.
Su Qingluan looked around and picked four men and two women who were agile enough to run for a long time and had a lot of strength: "You will follow me to run errands in the town today, and the remaining one will take my place." In the logistics team, priority will be given to those who are good at hunting in the wild. Over there, Yun Niang, I will leave it to you to keep an eye on the fruit picking side."
