Xie Huaxiang's snack business has not been going well recently due to restrictions on raw materials and manpower. Although their Anji brigade had a bumper rice harvest, other crop yields were still greatly affected by the previous drought. , including the sweet potatoes needed to make maltose, are hardly harvested either.
¡°Coupled with the collapse of the black market, various raw materials such as sugar and oil are no longer available.
Her biggest helper, Xu Xiulian, also got married and moved out, so the business had to be suspended.
Although I still have savings to live on, the feeling of having no money but no money is really not good. I can¡¯t buy whatever I want like before. I can¡¯t help but spend money. It¡¯s really not the life that Xie Huaxiang loves. .
So during this period of time, she was studying how to use various cheap ingredients, such as whole grains, wild vegetables, etc., to make delicious snacks. You must know that in future generations, after people's lives have become extremely prosperous, In terms of food, the concept has also undergone tremendous changes.
Nowadays, it is happiness to be able to eat meat, and refined grains are valuable, but it will be different at that time. People pay attention to healthy diet, and eating whole grains and wild vegetables is fashionable.
At that time, foods with added whole grains and various wild vegetables were not only popular in the world, but also highly praised. Compared with those high-fat and high-sugar snacks, the most high-end snacks in this era are much more popular.
Because Xie Huaxiang already had some ideas about these things and had some foundation in this field in her previous life, she was able to invent some coarse-grain snacks with cheap ingredients and good taste. Unfortunately, due to manpower problems, she was unable to mass-produce them. .
Now that she saw what Cheng Likun was doing, her mind was a little ready to move. Since he could implement the household responsibility system, could she also run a handicraft workshop for food production in the brigade?
It¡¯s slack time now, and the women in the village have a lot of free manpower. Why not make use of this manpower? You can never make a lot of money by working on your own. You can only make money easily by letting others work for you.
Xie Huaxiang spent several days using various coarse grains, such as dried vegetables, dried sweet potatoes, persimmons left over from winter, and konjac, etc., plus a small amount of sugar and refined grains to make more than a dozen She asked some people close to her to taste different snacks. According to everyone's taste, she left several snacks with the cheapest cost and the best taste, and wrote down the recipes.
Then he wrote a plan and took it with him to Cheng Likun.
"Captain Cheng!"
Cheng Likun laughed: "Stop making fun of me. Why, what do you want from me?"
"How could I make fun of you? I really have something to ask for your help." Xie Huaxiang said seriously.
"Oh?" Cheng Likun looked at Xie Huaxiang with interest. After a few days and nights of busy work, all the fields in the team were divided. Although some people among them thought that the division was unfair and made them dissatisfied, everything was settled in the end. The land was settled. Generally speaking, the Anji brigade's field-dividing operation went very smoothly.
Now the members of the commune are working enthusiastically in their own fields. There are fewer people chatting when they have nothing to do. There are also fewer conflicts because they don¡¯t like each other when working together. The whole brigade is in a prosperous situation. Cheng Likun is The captain also had some free time. In addition to taking care of the land allocated to him every day, he also went to the brigade headquarters to solve some practical problems. The rest of the time he could be at ease.
Now I have the leisure to mind Xie Huaxiang¡¯s business.
"Captain, you also know that our county was hit by a disaster at the beginning of the year. Now, except for our brigade, the farmers in other places are not living very well. They are still tightening their belts and getting by. In fact, we are only thanks to the new type of rice. Seeds, but in addition to rice, the harvest failure of other crops is also very serious. The little millet harvested is not enough to fill the stomachs of the whole family. I also heard that there are people in our team who use rice to compete with people from other teams. Those who trade for coarse grains are just to have more grains to fill their stomachs, but other brigades don¡¯t even have enough coarse grains to eat, so where can they get the extra grains to trade with us!¡±
What Xie Huaxiang said is true. Cheng Likun nodded: "Yes, you told me this. Do you have any solution?"
Xie Huaxiang handed Cheng Likun a pack of biscuit-shaped snacks: "Try this."
This biscuit was light yellow with a little green in it. I couldn't tell what material it was made of, but it didn't look ugly and smelled like a little grain. Cheng Likun curiously picked up one and took a bite. It was very fragrant and crispy. , there is still a little bit of thick taste in the mouth.??Sales can be carried out by barter. "
Cheng Likun looked at Xie Huaxiang's plan with great interest: "Your idea of ??bartering is quite unique, but no matter what materials are used, it can be used to replace food. Isn't this a big loss?"
"Of course not. I have calculated that as long as it is a material that can be used as a food substitute, whether it is dried wild vegetables, dried fish and shrimps, or even sun-dried scraps such as pumpkin peels and winter melon peels, they can be used as food substitutes. The standard exchange rate is five pounds of raw materials for one pound of substitute food. You must know that our substitute food not only tastes good, but also has comprehensive nutrition, which is much better than just eating wild vegetables."
"What if instead of using scraps, we use grain?" Cheng Likun asked. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
