Chapter 123 Preserved Eggs and Yuba
According to the discussion of several leaders yesterday, the yamen will recruit a large number of people again today.

Cosmetics factories and clothing factories are also recruiting a large number of people, as well as Jinchuang Pharmaceutical Factory, which is about to start construction.

When I came to the interview before, there were some who were a little bit older, but now everyone understands that although the Yamen says that regardless of gender, age, or origin, as long as you have ideas, you can apply.

But after entering, you still need to learn various things, especially calligraphy. I heard that there is an elimination system and a punishment system, not to mention learning various other skills.

The boss is a rough man, he can't even hold a pen, let alone memorize those complicated words, and he is getting older, and his memory is even worse. If you learn it today, you will forget it tomorrow.

After the master posted the recruitment information, all the interviewees were young people, and the older ones stayed at home obediently.

Li Mo doesn't have to worry about recruiting people, the master, Song Min, and Lin Ling can handle it all.

The garment factory is even simpler, as long as your embroidery is good, you can enter.

Cosmetics factories don't need any technology, just be honest, hard working, obedient, and hygienic.

Li Mo reckoned that the busy farming season was over now.

Ask the yamen servants to inform the village heads of each village that any villagers who want to make yuba and preserved eggs can come to the yamen for training.

Those who participated in the first phase of the yamen's training for preserved eggs, their family life gradually became more prosperous.

Hearing that the yamen was going to train preserved eggs again, everyone felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

"Xianggong, what do you mean by the county magistrate? If so many people make preserved eggs in the future, won't we have no business?" This is what the woman who makes preserved eggs said to her busy husband. All the sources of income for their family are now It is preserved egg.

There are eggs all over the house, and I didn't have money to buy eggs at the beginning, so I already wanted to give up this opportunity.

But when the adults were training, they once said that any difficulties are only temporary, and only through hard work can you know the joy of success. There may not be rewards for hard work, but there will be absolutely no rewards if you don’t pay.

So the couple had the cheek to borrow money from all their relatives and friends, and scraped together enough money to buy two hundred eggs.

With the attitude of trying, the couple took the preserved eggs to the trading company in the Yamen to sell them. Who knew that after checking the quality, the servants took all the preserved eggs away without saying a word, and gave them all in cash.

But the couple were overjoyed, and their anxiety finally subsided.

The same experience happened to three other families.

The couple used the money from selling preserved eggs to buy eggs and invest in them. After that, relying on preserved eggs, life gradually improved.

The man stopped what he was doing: "No, it is said that the adults have already opened shops in many other places, and these preserved eggs are to be sold all over the country. The few eggs from our family are not enough to sell at all. .”

The woman was very surprised: "What? All over the country? You mean that our preserved eggs can be eaten all over the country?"

The woman has never been to other places, and Songjiang County is where she comes and goes. She doesn't know how big Jin is, but when she thinks of all parts of the country, she feels very proud.

Man: "Let's hurry up and buy more eggs, or the price will increase again."

Woman: "No way, the county magistrate said that the price cannot be raised casually."

A slight price increase is okay, but a random price increase is absolutely not acceptable. Li Mo once warned all business people that there is no reason to raise prices indiscriminately, so there is no need for your store to continue operating.

For example, under normal circumstances, an egg costs two cents a piece, but according to market demand, it can be increased to three cents a piece. You say that it is impossible not to increase the price. The market is going like this, and everyone has to eat, right?

But if you suddenly raise it to [-] Wen a piece, then you are finished, Li Mo will directly bring someone to search your house, and ask you if you are afraid.

Early the next morning, the head of Yejia Village brought the villagers who had time and ideas to the county government office.

With so many villages and so many people, it is impossible to complete it in one day, and it can only be done one by one every day.

Everyone is very excited. This is another good project to make money. All families with sufficient staff will send a representative, and most of them are the pillars of the family.

Li Mo looked at the dark crowd and tried to raise his voice: "The purpose of calling everyone here this time is to increase everyone's income and give everyone another way to make money."

When everyone heard it, it was indeed about money, and everyone couldn't hide their excitement.

Li Mo: "But everyone, don't be too happy too early. There are three hardships in the world: punting, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu. The first thing to talk about is yuba. It is not tofu but a soy product, but it is very hard to do this job. Like tofu, I hope you will be mentally prepared."

There are many people studying now, but I don’t know how many of them can persevere.

Some villagers shouted: "Sir, we are not afraid of hard work, what we are afraid of is not having money."

"That's right, what's more terrifying than having no money."

Li Mo: "Since you are not afraid of hardship, let's talk about how to do it first."

Several simple stoves have been prepared in the open space, and there is steaming soy milk in the pot.

Li Mo briefly explained the process of turning soybeans into soybean milk. Everyone understood that it was nothing more than grinding soybeans into pulp with a stone mill. It was as simple as that.

Filter with gauze, pour in the soy milk and filter out the bean dregs.

The most difficult thing is how to turn soy milk into bean curd sticks. Because there are too many people, it needs to be divided into several batches.

Cook the soy milk with a fire, scoop out the floating foam on the surface of the soy milk with a spoon, try to scoop it as clean as possible, otherwise it will affect the crust, and the bean curd skin will have very small pores when picked up, and the finished product will not look good.

After that, just pick it up with chopsticks, and then wait for another piece of rotten skin that can be picked up to appear on the surface.

When picking out the bean curd skin, first use chopsticks to separate the edge from the pot, and then use chopsticks to pick it out. Put the picked bean curd skin on a drying rack to dry, and don’t touch it after putting it away.

After picking them all out, they can be air-dried.

The production process is not difficult, but it takes too long, and it is very hard to stay by the stove all the time.

Li Mo taught everyone how to make bean curd sticks. The villagers listened carefully and watched carefully.

Li Mo asked everyone to do it again, emphasizing the need to pay attention to hygiene.

Only then did everyone realize that the county magistrate was wearing a white hat, and he was not wearing an official uniform, but a white suit that had never been seen before.

Li Mo: "As long as the bean curd sticks you make have no quality or hygiene problems, trading companies will definitely buy them up, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them."

Village Chief Ye said very kindly: "My lord, don't worry, I will supervise them well."

Some villagers expressed their worries: "Sir, even if we learn how to make bean curd sticks, what should we do if we don't have so many soybeans at home, and we don't have so much money to buy?"

"Yes, my lord, the family is really unable to make ends meet." Someone followed up with a sigh.

Li Mo: "Don't worry, everyone. The Yamen has prepared a batch of soybeans. You can pay them back on credit first, and then pay them back when you make money. There are six months, one year, and you can choose to pay in installments."

Isn't this the same as buying cattle, but cattle are so expensive, everyone has credit, and soybeans are nothing compared to cattle.

Moreover, after soybeans are made into bean curd sticks, they can be sold to trading companies, and cash can be received immediately, which makes money come in faster.

After the most difficult yuba training, Li Mo non-stop taught everyone how to make preserved eggs.

By the way, I will also teach you how to make salted eggs.

The operation method of salted eggs is very simple, just wash the duck eggs and drain the water.

Put it into the white wine first, so that the duck eggs are evenly coated with a layer of white wine, and then put it in the salt and roll it, so that the duck eggs are evenly coated with a layer of salt.

Put the processed duck eggs into the jar, cover the lid and seal it well, and put it in a cool and dark place for 30-40 days before it can be used.

Before eating, take out one and boil it with clean water. If the yolk of the duck egg becomes greasy, it means that the salted egg has been marinated.

Li Mo also taught everyone how to make it, and during the production process, everyone can come to the Yamen to ask if they don't understand anything.

The next step is preserved eggs, which requires a little skill.

Li Mo had already prepared the raw materials for making preserved eggs, and told everyone that if they couldn't find the raw materials, they could go to the yamen to buy them back.

It is impossible to give away. As long as it is free, some people do not know how to cherish it. Only by letting them pay for it themselves will they know that it is hard to come by and cherish it.

After training three items in one day, everyone said that their minds were buzzing, and they felt like they remembered but didn't remember.

Someone had a bitter face: "What to do, I forgot how to make preserved eggs again."

"I forgot how to make yuba."

"I forgot everything."

When Village Chief Ye heard this, he couldn't help being angry: "Usually, you all remember clearly what is happening in the village. People from all over the world know that it was you who released the newspapers. Now such an important thing can't be remembered, is it? You are not trying to force me to hit you."

Someone pulled his head together: "Village Chief, I really can't remember."

Someone suggested: "Village chief, isn't it the other village's turn tomorrow? We'll send someone over to eavesdrop. Anyway, the adults don't know which village we belong to. What do you think?"

Village head Ye thought for a while: "It's fine, but who will you send?"

Li Mo doesn't know what they think, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, if he can't learn it, he can continue to learn, and he has to practice it himself to know which step he can't understand.
