Manor Romance

Chapter 205 Flavored Dried Shrimp
The production of dried shrimps requires a lot of manpower. Xu Ping helped find suitable candidates. According to the secret recipe given by Lu Qishan, the first step is to clean the fattened bamboo-jointed shrimps, cut off the legs and long whiskers, but the heads can be reserve.Generally, the head should be removed when using ordinary shrimp, because the ingredients inside are complex and there are many dirty things, and it will easily deteriorate if it is not handled properly.

However, the quality of the bamboo shrimps produced in the manor is good enough. Most of the shrimp heads are made of shrimp paste, and all the breeding areas are green farming, using deep underground water and mountain spring water, and feeding with self-produced wheat ear feed , so basically there will be no residue of dirty and harmful substances. Lu Qishan strongly recommends keeping the shrimp heads, which will add a lot of color to the dried shrimps, and will not waste any materials.

After cleaning, the next step is to slowly blanch them with warm water until they are six to seven mature. They should not be overcooked or too raw. Fortunately, their bamboo shrimps are all about the same size, otherwise it is difficult to control the heat. When doing this step Lu Qishan came here specially to guide them. He is also very concerned about making this dried shrimp. Whether he can eat delicious dried shrimp or not depends on this step.

During the blanching process, appropriate seasonings should be added. Yunli has prepared all the ingredients that can be obtained from the secret recipe, and Lu Qishan has also found all the ones that are not available. Commonly used seasonings such as ginger and scallions, as well as oil seeds, homemade soy sauce, and even some seasonings that Yunli has never heard of.

According to the steps in the secret recipe, add the corresponding seasonings at the corresponding time period. After it is almost six or seven years old, take it out and spread it in the sun. At this time, you need to sprinkle the powder mixed with salt and other seasonings to season again. The amount does not need to be too much More, spread evenly.

After drying the shrimp for a full day, the meat of the shrimp shrinks and the shell separates. At this time, the shell of the shrimp needs to be removed manually. The shell on the head is difficult to remove. Be careful not to damage the shrimp paste. As for the small shell at the end of the shrimp tail, it is preferable It is not necessary, different places have different opinions and practices in this regard, but it is not a big problem, Yunli's approach is to take all of them.

After shelling, the dried shrimp will come out. According to the secret recipe, it needs to be dried several times to let the moisture in the dried shrimp gradually evaporate completely. You can’t save trouble and dry it at once. You need to dry it several times every other day, so that the shrimp meat tastes better. Only then will it have tenacity and is also conducive to long-term storage.

After they finished their work, Yunli and Lu Qishan took the lead to try the taste. Sure enough, the ones made according to the secret method were different. They were obviously better than those made by him and Lu Ci last time. It is also suitable for cooking with other ingredients.

The decision not to remove the shrimp head is correct. Although the production steps are a bit cumbersome, the shrimp paste has a richer taste after being dried, and it becomes the finishing touch of the whole dried shrimp.

More than 2000 catties of bamboo prawns were finally made into [-] catties of flavored dried shrimps. The weight is much lighter, but it is very worthwhile.Originally, he promised to give Lu Qishan twenty catties after it was finished, but this guy was very cunning, he stuffed it into the bag without using a scale, and said it was about twenty catties, and then he carried it away. Yunli estimated that he would at least I took more than [-] catties, but I didn't bother with him when I was in a good mood. If it wasn't for his secret method, I still wouldn't be able to make this delicious dried shrimp.

After the dried shrimps were made, he packed them and sent them to Aunt Fang and Lily as soon as possible. He sent them a full hundred catties. He also sent many special products from the manor, which can be preserved for a long time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival They don't know if they can come, but it's okay to send more, and they can send some to friends if they can't finish it themselves.

The employees also got some, which was considered one of the benefits in the manor. As for friends and partners, Yunli gave them some, far away were Rong Haiming, Lin Changqing, Jiang Wenfeng, Pan Qing and some others. The college students who scattered things, Ren Fei, Wang Chengyuan, Feng Yisong, and Gu Ling were nearby, and they all gave a lot of gifts.

In addition, nearby friends and partners also gave gifts, such as Brother Chen, He Jingsheng, some acquaintances from Mingyi Hotel, etc., so there is not much left from home, and some of them are taken to the office building. While sharing it with everyone, Yun Li only has about [-] catties left.

But Yunli didn't care too much about it. Anyway, there will be bamboo prawns in a few months. He has already mastered the secret method of making them. It is estimated that after eating these, the next batch will be made again. If the effect is good, we will talk about it later. It may not be possible to produce and sell in large quantities to increase the added value of the product.

On this day, Xu Lin approached Yunli, he hesitated for a long time before getting to the point, his youngest son is in stable condition, but he needs to recuperate for a while before he can be discharged from the hospital, now there is basically no need for his family to worry, his daughter Xu Jiali is in the city Can't find a suitable job, so I want her to come to the manor to help.

Yun Li thought it was something, there was a shortage of manpower in the manor, and suitable candidates were always available, so he immediately agreed. Xu Jiali was also in contact with him, she was a very simple girl, and she was Xu Lin's daughter, so there was no problem up.

As for the work arrangements, she was a bit of a headache. After finishing high school, she learned to cook, but because of Xu Jiajin's illness, she had to drop out of school and do odd jobs around. Xu Lin originally wanted to pay for her to continue her education, or continue to study chef courses, but Xu Jiali did not agree, she wanted to make some money quickly to share the pressure of her mother.

The manor was short of manpower in many aspects. After discussing with Xu Lin and combining her personality and ability, she was finally arranged to help in Jifang Garden. Xu Lin was very satisfied with this. As for the place to live, he had to settle in the office building first. It has been abandoned for a long time, but it is being tidied up recently, and it is estimated that I will move back to my home after a while. Although the manor is good, my own home is a safe place to live.

Naturally, there is no problem with this cloud. There are six dormitory rooms on the second floor of the office building, and three of them are vacant now. Of course, there is no problem for Xu Jiali to move in. In order to take care of the possibility of more accommodation in the future, when the building is built, On the third floor, there is a place reserved for expansion. Four more rooms and a small hall can be built next to the sightseeing ceiling, and the project is almost complete. The current dormitory in the manor is sufficient.

Xu Jiali came to the manor to work only with the consent of old brother Chen and Huang Yunjuan, otherwise Yunli would not have dared to do this behind the back of old brother Chen. It seems that their family has a tendency to reunite. This is a good thing, Xu Lin These years of hard work were not in vain. After the matter was settled, he went to announce the good news with joy.

The reason why Xu Jiali was arranged to go to Yunli in Jifang Garden is also due to her own considerations. The main construction work of the second phase of Jifang Garden is in full swing, and it is not far from being officially put into use, and there will be a third one in the future. With the construction of Jifang Garden in the first and fourth phases, there is an urgent need for more talents to manage the manor.

What's more, Lu Ci now helps him share many daily management affairs of the manor, and has to take care of Xiaoya and himself in his spare time. He should find someone to share the work for her. The burden can also be lightened.

By the way, Brother Chen has been quite annoying recently, not because of Xu Lin and Huang Yunjuan, but because of his teaching position.With the rapid development of this area, the educational resources are gradually increasing. Brother Chen, a "veteran" who has served over the age, is about to retire. He recently received a notice from his superiors that after the end of this semester, he can officially retired.

When he went to Luzhen Middle School to deliver dried shrimps to him a few days ago, Brother Chen also talked about this issue with Yunli. He is really reluctant to leave the podium that he has cultivated for decades.

Luzhen Middle School is also about to undergo renovation. The teaching buildings and school buildings that have been used for many years can finally be replaced with new ones. The infrastructure project is starting. It is expected that the students in Luzhen will be able to move into the new learning environment next semester.

Now that the notices have come down, Yunli knows that no matter how reluctant he is, Brother Chen should let go. He has worked hard all his life, and it is time to enjoy his retirement life. A room has been reserved in the manor for him to live in. , he can also travel around or visit friends, life is just as exciting, and Yunli is preparing a gift for him, I believe it will surprise and surprise Brother Chen.

Xu Jiali came to report the next day. After leaving Shanglu Village for so many years, she was very unfamiliar with the surroundings. She had visited Xiaolu Mountain with her friends before, and also went to Banlu Mountain to pick wild treasures, but she did not expect the changes here. But it was so big, the scene Xu Xiangjiao described to her was not exaggerated at all.

She didn't want to trouble Yunli and go back home, but they haven't lived in the house for a long time, and the furniture and everything are dusty and moldy, so Xu Lin has to tidy up before moving in, so she has no choice but to accept living in the office building Dormitory arrangements.

She didn't have a lot of luggage, and she moved into the staff dormitory under Xu Lin's arrangement. The room was very tidy, and Xu Lin had all the daily necessities ready. This kind of living environment made her a little flattered. Since she ran away from home with her mother Huang Yunjuan, the three of them She has been living a wandering life. When she was learning to cook, she was still a part-time student. She even slept in the corridors. She couldn't help but get red eyes when she thought of those days.

Xu Xiangjiao and Xu Xiangming were very happy about the arrival of their cousin sister. They took her around the manor and introduced her to other employees. People in the village were not unfamiliar with her. Although they hadn't seen her for many years, they recognized her quickly. Xu Jiali felt unexpected and warm, and finally she went to Jifangyuan, where she worked.

Both Lu Ci and Shen Hong are easy to get along with. She will not have any problems working here, and her computer knowledge is good, and she can use general basic software with ease. This is very helpful for her to learn how to control the equipment in the park. It was a great help. Everything here was unfamiliar and expected to her. With the help of everyone, she quickly adapted to the working and living environment here.
