Qingcheng. Project Department!
In the canteen, Nie Nansun, Yang Donghai and other project leaders were all gathered around a large noodle table, staring closely at Zhou Yang who was busy.
At this time, Zhou Yang was counting the ingredients in front of him with several lesbians.
"Egg whites, sugar, butter, potato starch, milk..."
After checking the ingredients and ingredient list in front of me one by one, I found that all the ingredients were ready.
Then Zhou Yang began to check various tools. In addition to the common pots and pans, some of the tools were relatively new, such as Zhou Yang's homemade egg yolk extraction tool, and the molds borrowed from the popsicle factory. That bundle of small sticks...
After making sure that all the ingredients and making tools were in place, Zhou Yang immediately said to the lesbians next to him: "Now I will teach you how to make ice cream. The first step is to make the cream!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yang took out a white enamel basin, and then broke all the dozen eggs in front of him into the basin, but only the egg whites, not the yolks.
After smoothing out the egg yolks, Zhou Yang immediately put white sugar into the basin, stirred them evenly, and then put them into hot water and heated them over water.
"Note that the water temperature should not be too high when heating. The purpose of this step is just to speed up the melting of the white sugar. If the water temperature is too high, it will easily cause the egg white to solidify."
While talking, Zhou Yang continued to beat the egg whites with a homemade egg beater. After beating for a while, he added butter and continued to beat, and the beating speed became faster and faster.
While Zhou Yang was stirring, everyone's eyes were fixed on the enamel basin on the counter. Soon they discovered that the egg whites, sugar, butter and other things in the enamel basin gradually turned into a milky white consistency. object.
In this way, Zhou Yang stirred quickly for several minutes until his palms and wrists became sore and tired before he stopped. The simple cream was ready.
Looking at the small half bowl of cream in front of him, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that making simple cream would be so laborious. Sure enough, this professional thing should be done by professionals, but it is really difficult for laymen to do it.
I scooped a little with a small spoon, put it in my mouth and tasted it. The taste was so-so, not much different from the cream I had eaten before.
The craftsmanship is definitely a bit lacking, but the advantage is the solid materials.
At that moment, Zhou Yang said again: "Now for the second step of making ice cream, watch it carefully!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yang put all the butter into the large iron pot, then poured in half a bucket of fresh milk and a certain proportion of potato starch. The fire started to simmer. During the cooking process, Zhou Yang kept stirring the bottom of the pot with a spatula. Prevent smudging.
This process lasted for about ten minutes. When all the ingredients were cooked until thick and the liquid volume dropped significantly by about one centimeter from the initial level, Zhou Yang, who felt that it was almost done, immediately turned off the heat.
Then he asked someone to bring over the mold he had made in advance, use a small spoon to scoop the thick objects in the pot into the mold one by one, and insert the small wooden sticks he bought.
After installing a mold, Zhou Yang asked several lesbians next to him to pour the mold, while he took the installed mold outside to freeze.
In fact, according to the normal process, after installing the mold, it needs to be frozen in the refrigerator for a few hours, and then it can be eaten.
But the current Saibei itself is a large refrigerator. The outdoor temperature can reach minus 30 degrees, so there is no need for a refrigerator. You only need to place these molds quietly outside for more than ten minutes before they freeze hard.
Most of the pot's thick substance is filled with dozens of popsicle molds, and each of these molds has 10 slots, which can make 10 popsicles at the same time.
In other words, this time, Zhou Yang and others made hundreds of cream ice cream sticks.
When the last mold was installed, more than half an hour had passed, and the first few molds taken out were almost frozen.
Zhou Yang did not hesitate, and immediately brought several molds into the room, and then opened one of the molds under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The moment he opened it, ten things that looked like popsicles and ice cream appeared in front of everyone.
Zhou Yang took out the ice cream sticks one by one and distributed them to Nie Nansun, Yang Donghai, Niu Weitong and others. He also kept one for himself.
Other staff also opened the remaining molds and divided the ice cream inside.
"Try the first batch of cream ice cream we tried to make, and let us know your opinions when the time comes!"
As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, Nie Nansun echoed: "Yes, everyone should try it and see if this gadget can be sold!"
With Nie Nansun's greeting, everyone no longer hesitated and immediately tasted the ice cream in their hands.
Soon, there was a burst of exclamations in the cafeteria:
"Hey, this thing is different from the old popsicle. It's so delicious!"
"Bingbing is cool, very sweet, and has a soft and glutinous texture. It is much more delicious than old popsicles!"
"It's a bit like the Beauty brand ice cream that Lao Hucheng sold before, but it's a little different. There's no ice cream in this one..."
While everyone was amazed, Zhou Yang felt that the taste was ordinary and could only be described as so-so.
The creamy ice cream in my hand has a soft, glutinous and refreshing texture. It can indeed beat those old popsicles, but it is still a bit different from the 504 ice cream in Zhou Yang's memory.
The difference is not in the raw materials, but in the production process, especially the process of making cream.
You must know that the reason why Factory 504 produces ice cream is mainly because it is convenient for them to produce cream. After all, the only machinery that can be directly used for productivity in the uranium enrichment production factory is the centrifuge in the factory.
The centrifuge is the most common piece of equipment in the production process of enriched uranium. It is mainly used to separate uranium elements. Its speed can reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of revolutions per minute.
Using a centrifuge to produce butter is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes, and the effect will not be very good.
Therefore, the cream made by 504 Factory using high-speed centrifuge has a pure and dense taste, which is not inferior to those of foreign "foreign cream", not to mention the taste of cream ice cream made with this kind of cream.
As a result, the 504 enriched uranium production plant was quickly transformed into a veritable 504 ice cream factory.
In comparison, although the creamy ice cream they made simply by hand has a passable taste, there is still a big gap compared to it.
But even so, it was unanimously praised by the comrades present.
After collecting the comments and opinions of everyone present, Nie Nansun and Yang Donghai took Zhou Yang back to the office.
As soon as he entered the door, Nie Nansun asked impatiently: "You are such a genius. You can make such delicious ice cream with just a few simple ingredients. It's amazing!"
Zhou Yang smiled and asked, "Now do you think the cream ice cream we made can be sold?"
"The taste is good, but whether it sells or not depends on the price. How much do you plan to sell one stick for?" Nie Nansun said.
"How about 2 hairs!"
Nie Nansun thought for a while and said: "That's okay. After all, the old popsicles can be sold for 5 cents each. Is it profitable to make only 2 cents a popsicle? I think we have both eggs and milk." , and white sugar and butter, they are all good things!”
"Of course I made money. I spent a total of almost 40 yuan on those things today, but I made more than 450 ice cream cones, and the cost was less than a dime!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "But this is just a trial production. Once large-scale production is carried out, the cost will further drop. Even including labor, water, electricity, etc., I estimate that the cost of one stick will not exceed 8 cents."
"The cost is 8 cents, we sell it for 2 cents, and the profit is 1.2 cents per stick..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said: "The retail price is 20 cents, but if we sell it to external parties, the price will have to be reduced, to between 15 cents and 18 cents per stick!"
"This... won't the profit be even less?" Nie Nansun said.
"Haha, the profit is small but the output is high. Even a small workshop can easily produce tens of thousands of pieces a day. What this thing does is a small profit but quick turnover!" Zhou Yang said.
Hearing this, Nie Nansun and Yang Donghai couldn't help but secretly calculate in their hearts. The profit from one stick was about a cent, and if they produced 10,000 sticks a day, that would be a profit of one thousand yuan.
That’s 30,000 yuan a month, and the net profit in a year is as high as 360,000 yuan...
Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but get excited.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's quickly mobilize people to do it!"
"Okay, I'll make a list of the equipment I need. You hurry up and get the things, and then find some lesbians to start trial production!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK..."
