Soon, Hualong Hotel, Yuxuetang and Fumanduo all sent salesmen to the door.
After receiving the first batch of eggs provided by Li Zhe, they immediately introduced the simple main dish of egg custard on the menu of their hotel.
All of a sudden, this dish caught the stomachs of those high-end diners!
These high-end diners are the rich and powerful. They are used to eating big fish, big meat, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. Suddenly they tasted such a simple and sweet egg custard, and they fell in love with it!
Especially since the quality of Li Zhe's "spiritual eggs" is on the same level as the vegetables and sturgeon he provided before, it will naturally become extremely popular!
The three hotels also received attention and reports from some food media.
After being spread by these media, they can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend and completely establishing their status as the three giants in the catering industry.
They have launched popular menus one after another, including stir-fried vegetables, sturgeon sashimi and most recently, egg custard. Their dishes have put them way ahead of other restaurants or hotels!
······
Li Zhe gave the payment from the three hotels to his second grandfather Li Manfu and asked him to distribute it to the villagers.
A series of tasks such as egg packaging and transportation are all left to the villagers!
In this way, Li Zhe would be free to worry about it, and secondly, it would also allow the villagers to contribute. In this way, everyone would feel more comfortable with their share of the money.
Moreover, the transportation of eggs will continue in the future, and the villagers must start from scratch and become familiar with the process...
The people in the village were very motivated and packed the eggs meticulously. The villagers raised their own funds to pay for the transportation costs. It was embarrassing for Li Zhe to keep paying.
Now, in addition to taking out the fertilized eggs picked out every day and using warm water to assist in hatching them, the villagers in Lijiaji have also begun to pickle the duck eggs produced in the mountains!
Although these duck eggs are not delicious when cooked directly and have a fishy smell that cannot be removed, but when pickled and made into salted duck eggs, the taste is amazing!
Li Zhe's mouth watered when he thought about the scene when he cut the salted duck eggs in half and the golden buttery oil flowed out along the cut surface!
Especially since my duck eggs are produced by ducks fed with spiritual water on the mountain. They are pickled and the taste is definitely much better than ordinary salted duck eggs!
When the time comes, put a plate of peanuts, a few slices of salted duck eggs on the table, no other big dishes, and open a bottle of good wine————
Just eat the peanuts, use a chopstick to dip into the salted duck egg oily yolk, take a sip of the taste... and then have a sip of wine, it's like a fairy's life!
Li Zhe is also planning to pickle a few jars of salted duck eggs at home. There is no such thing as too much of this good stuff!
My mother, Zhao Xianglan, is an expert in pickling salted duck eggs. It can be said that every housewife in the countryside is familiar with this kind of thing!
The duck eggs used by Li Zhe's family for pickling are all the largest and best. They are all carefully selected and delivered by the villagers!
After getting these duck eggs, wash them first, then dig some yellow mud that can be found everywhere in the countryside, add water and salt, stir it into mud, wrap it around the duck eggs, put them one by one into the jar, and finally add some white wine and seal the jar tightly. mouth.
After the process is completed, just wait for a month and it will be done!
······
These days, almost every household in Lijiaji is pickling salted duck eggs.
But there were too many duck eggs, almost the same amount as eggs, weighing six to seven thousand kilograms. When distributed, each household would have more than six hundred kilograms of salted duck eggs to pickle!
It's not a problem to pickle them, but when the time comes, every household can't eat salted duck eggs every day.
The current batch of duck eggs will take a year to finish, and those salted duck eggs on the mountain are still being produced continuously!
Therefore, Li Zhe now has to think about the whereabouts of this salted duck egg first...
Li Zhe also thought about relying on Mi Caixuan and Hualong's three hotels to digest these duck eggs.
But after thinking about it, it still doesn’t work.
After all, although these duck eggs are delicious, they are pickled products and have a strong taste. Most people only serve them as a side dish or as a side dish with wine from time to time.
No one would eat salted duck eggs as a main dish, so salted duck eggs are generally not on the menus of hotels and restaurants.
This gave Li Zhe a bit of a headache.
However, Li Zhe had to solve a problem first, that is, his own jars were not enough...
The family also received more than 600 kilograms of salted duck eggs. Duck eggs are heavier than eggs, but there are five or six per kilogram, which means that Li Zhe's family has more than 3,000 eggs to salt.
In the past, I usually pickled more than ten or twenty kilograms, but there were not so many jars!
Some families in the village even have large vats filled with water, which are used to pickle salted duck eggs. These and other things are still not enough.
Li Zhe thought about going to Jiangcheng to find a factory that sells vats and buy some vats or jars for the village. Otherwise, there would be no place to marinate these duck eggs!
As a result, he went to the city and searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Then he patted his head and smiled bitterly:
Times have changed!
Nowadays, most of the jars used by people in Murakami are left over from the older generation. A few of them are enough for pickling pickles and the like.
In the past, there were people who specialized in selling pickling jars, but now there are fewer and fewer of them. Li Zhe really hasn’t found one in Jiangcheng!
If you are just looking for a container, that's easy. There are a lot of plastic barrels on the market now, and there are as many as you want.
The key thing that rural people pay attention to is that they must follow the old rules. For pickling salted duck eggs, they must use the boiled jar or water tank, otherwise they will not be able to pickle the farm flavor.
There are a lot of plastic container manufacturers on the market, but there are very few that sell fired jars or jars.
After all, this thing is very troublesome and the market demand is not high.
There was no other way. Li Zhe could only take the last chance and search online. Not to mention, this thing really existed!
Thanks to the Almighty Polo Chief!
On Taobao, Li Zhe found a shop that specializes in selling these fired pots and jars!
This shop is a porcelain manufacturer in China. In addition to selling finished porcelain, the shop also sells some defective products that were burned in the kiln or failed to be glazed.
If you want to sell these defective products seriously, they will definitely not be sold. They are usually scraps and the price is not high!
Li Zhe immediately placed an order and ordered a large number of this defective porcelain from this store.
Li Zhe didn't care whether it was a defective product or not. Anyway, he only bought it to pickle salted duck eggs, not to collect art!
I bought a lot of them for 1,000 yuan, enough for my family and the villagers to pickle salted duck eggs!
The shop owner was also happy to sell it to Li Zhe. Originally, these defective products were left there and no one wanted them. It was just a matter of luck that they were put online. Unexpectedly, people actually bought them!
It’s just that the store owner asked Li Zhe to pay the shipping costs.
With so many jars and jars, ordinary express delivery is definitely not possible. You need to hire a professional logistics company.
Li Zhe readily agreed. Anyway, it didn't add up to much money, and he didn't have to go looking for all these pots and jars.
When Li Zhe was happy to buy these jars and jars, he also had an idea flash in his mind!
yes!
Those salted duck eggs pickled in your own village can also be sold online!
Although people don’t eat salted duck eggs as a staple food, if you eat them occasionally, I believe everyone will not resist this delicious taste.
If you open a Taobao store online, as long as it is well-known, no one will buy it!
With a population of more than one billion, China is afraid that it cannot digest just a few kilograms of salted duck eggs every week?
Now there is no need to worry about the sales of eggs, as long as they are delivered to those restaurants on time every week. If the sales of these salted duck eggs can be opened through Taobao stores, it will also be a good choice!
This method is totally worth trying. Li Zhe immediately decided to open a Taobao store specializing in salted duck eggs!
Li Zhe went to his second grandfather Li Manfu's house again to discuss the matter.
In fact, Li Manfu would basically agree unconditionally on matters in the village as long as it was said by Li Zhe. But coming here to discuss it was an attitude, a kind of respect, and Li Zhe still understood the proper etiquette.
Li Manfu, who was at home, was also happy to hear Li Zhe's intention.
To be honest, as the simple village chief of Qiongshan Valley, he has recently been worried about what to do with the salted duck eggs pickled in the village!
After all, there are too many, and the eggs have been secured, so the duck eggs cannot be discarded. If that doesn't work, he is planning to mobilize the villagers to eat salted duck eggs together!
"Baby, your second grandfather, I am too old to understand what you are talking about... a treasure shop? But since you think it is feasible, then do it. Anyway, everyone in our village is now thanks to you. If anyone dares to have any objections, I will personally delete his name from the genealogy!"
"Come on, just a word from you, old man, is all. Our eggs and duck eggs are all good, so we don't have to worry about not being able to sell them! Sales will definitely be no problem!"
After Li Zhe came back from his second grandfather's house, he started tinkering with the Taobao store in the next few days.
However, Li Zhe is really not good at e-commerce, especially Internet marketing.
Li Zhe usually has no trouble buying things on Taobao, but when he wants to open a Taobao store by himself, Li Zhe is in trouble.
There are a lot of application materials, communication with logistics and express delivery, and the website introduction is amazing... Oh, it is beautifully written...
All these things have to be done personally, and Li Zhe is lazy, so these trivial things really make him dizzy.
······
Just when he was planning to simply spend money to find a professional online to help him deal with it, his second grandfather Li Manfu came to the door with a young man.
This time, reinforcements were brought in for Li Zhe.
"This is your third uncle's son, Jianbing. He's a few years younger than you. He majored in electronics in college. I thought I could help you, so I brought him here. Got it!"
Li Zhe also knew that this young man Li Jianbing was the son of his third uncle in the west of the village. He was considered his cousin. They all knew each other in the village.
We all played together when we were kids, and we were of the same generation, but there was a few years difference in age. Later, Li Zhe went to Nancheng to go to college, and the relationship between them became a lot stranger.
But Li Zhe still recognized his face.
The way Li Jianbing looked at Li Zhe was full of awe and admiration.
Now Li Zhe is an omnipotent person in the eyes of the whole village.
If you can make money, you can just spend millions without blinking an eye! He also led the villagers to get rich together. After investing so much money, he didn’t want to give all of it to the villagers. The only people he knew and befriended were wealthy people...
That is simply a living example of the legendary child from another family in reality!
