"Brother Feng, I heard that reform is in full swing in the south. I think our forest farm cannot fall behind. The reason I came back this time is to integrate the resources of the forest farm, whether it is mountain products, medicinal materials, animal skins, These are unique to our mountains. If we use this to create a medicinal materials market, maybe the forest farm’s market can become a transfer station for several nearby villages, towns, or even counties and cities..." Li Qiuyu's remarks , which surprised Xu Qingfeng.
This girl, her ideas are quite advanced.
If he hadn't been reborn, Xu Qingfeng felt that he would never have seen so much at this time.
Good guy, if she hadn't died young in her previous life, she might have actually done this to her.
This is also an opportunity for forest farms.
It's a pity that she was killed in her previous life, so this matter was stillborn.
I remember that the medicinal materials market in the town next door was very prosperous in later generations, but the forest farm has never been large-scale.
After losing the opportunity, they fell behind step by step.
"I think your idea is very good. Our Baishan medicinal materials have always been famous throughout the country. If we set up a distribution center, we will definitely be able to do it." Xu Qingfeng was washing and chopping vegetables while chatting with Li Qiuyu.
Li Qiuyu saw Xu Qingfeng raise the knife and drop all kinds of vegetables and meat, turning into segments, slices, blocks...
And he still had the time to chat with himself.
"Brother Feng, I think you should pay more attention when cutting vegetables, otherwise you will easily cut your hands and get injured." Li Qiuyu looked at Xu Qingfeng worriedly.
Xu Qingfeng smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm sure. I've been chopping vegetables for a long time. If I do it with my eyes closed, I won't cut my hands."
It has already formed a feel.
Li Qiuyu blinked. She couldn't do it as easily as Xu Qingfeng, so she still admired Xu Qingfeng.
After a while, Xu Qingfeng cut the vegetables and handed over the cooking work to Li Qiuyu.
In fact, Xu Qingfeng is good at cooking, but if men and women are matched, the work will not be tiring.
He was washing and chopping vegetables, and Li Qiuyu was naturally the one doing the cooking.
Otherwise, Xiao Nizi would still not be happy.
So Xu Qingfeng went to add firewood to the fire, and then Li Qiuyu took charge.
About half an hour later, several dishes came out of the oven.
"No need to burn this." Xu Qingfeng put the caviar on the table.
It was also covered with a lid, which made Li Qiuyu a little curious. What was contained inside was so mysterious.
Xu Qingfeng just smiled and said nothing, saying that he would know after eating.
Li Qiuyu's personality is quite good, she doesn't look like the daughter of a high-ranking official.
In the evening, the three of them sat at the table.
Mr. Li took out a bottle of Moutai and poured Xu Qingfeng a glass.
Li Qiuyu also wanted to taste some.
Mr. Li smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll give you a small cup."
"Thank you, grandpa." Li Qiuyu said happily.
Xu Qingfeng only opened the lid of the caviar at this time.
When Mr. Li and Li Qiuyu saw the caviar, their eyes lit up.
"Oh my God, Qingfeng, is this caviar?"
"Where did it come from? Isn't this thing only available abroad?"
...
Xu Qingfeng knew that he couldn't hide it from the two foodies.
Sure enough, they immediately guessed that it was caviar.
But my heart is still inexplicably shocked.
Caviar in the 1980s can be said to be an extremely high-end ingredient.
Even Mr. Li only ate it once or twice, and it was limited.
Not to mention Li Qiuyu, he has only seen it but has never eaten it.
"This is not foreign, but our local, native Changbai Mountain sturgeon. In fact, this caviar is sturgeon roe. Foreign caviar is just foreign sturgeon roe. There is nothing high-end." Xu Qingfeng Tell them both.
The so-called high-end is just because it is mysterious, so few people know about it.
You know, a few decades later, our country’s caviar exports will account for 1/3 of the world’s caviar.
Domestic caviar has gone abroad and become the best-selling caviar in the world.
And it has a good reputation.
Who would have thought that caviar has been known as one of the three delicacies on the table in the West since ancient times.
It will be monopolized by our country.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that the people of our country are diligent, intelligent and love to study.
From importing, to self-production, to exporting, it has grown in scale and gradually become the largest producer and exporter of caviar in the world.
These are all achieved step by step, which is not easy.
However, the price of authentic sturgeon caviar has always remained high and is very expensive.
Even decades later, domestic sturgeon caviar will sell for more than 10,000 yuan per catty.
"Is this really our country's sturgeon caviar?" Mr. Li exclaimed.
He really didn't expect it.
Why, we also have this thing in our own country.
Xu Qingfeng nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li, think about it, I have never even been out of Changbai Mountain. Where can I get foreign caviar? I also read a book, which said that caviar is sturgeon. caviar, so I thought, don’t we also have this kind of sturgeon in our country? So I got some, but I don’t know if the taste is authentic.”
Caviar does not involve taking the roe out of the sturgeon and eating it directly, but requires some simple preparation.
It's not that difficult.
Xu Qingfeng heard from a friend in his previous life that he could just add a certain proportion of fine salt to the washed fish roe, then put it in a low-temperature environment and marinate it.
This step can make the roe loose and moist.
Salt can also stimulate the proteolytic enzymes in fish roe to produce more free amino acids that bring umami flavor.
At the same time, it can also trigger the action of another enzyme to harden the membrane on the surface of the roe.
Pickling is the finishing touch, which allows the inside of the caviar to change, eventually becoming caviar with clear particles and full color.
Of course, there is a certain amount of salt you put in it.
If it is too much, the taste will be ruined, and if it is too little, it will be difficult to preserve.
This was Xu Qingfeng's first time doing it, and he didn't know how effective it would be.
"I finally know why you bought the wooden spoon. Haha, it turns out it's to eat caviar." Mr. Li smiled slightly, took a wooden spoon, picked out some caviar with wooden chopsticks, and tasted it. stand up.
"Grandpa, why do you use a wooden spoon?" Li Qiuyu asked in confusion.
Mr. Li told his granddaughter that there are certain things to pay attention to when tasting caviar.
The correct way to open it is to use a wooden spoon, shell spoon, ivory spoon, etc.
In short, do not use metal spoons.
This is because the caviar has been pickled, so it contains salt.
If you use a metal spoon, the umami flavor of the caviar itself will be destroyed, and it may even taste strange.
Xu Qingfeng gave a thumbs up. Mr. Li was indeed well-informed.
Decades later, there are still many novices who don’t understand this.
I ate caviar once and said it was unpalatable. It had a faint metallic taste and was very disgusting.
But in fact, it’s just the wrong way to eat it.
