Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 73 Doing business (4)

On the other side, Xiao Yi helped to sign a contract with those customers. The total order quantity was 850 catties, and the goods were shipped before the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. The advance payment was made at a deposit of [-] Wen per catty.

Li Mingyue only received 17 taels of silver as a deposit, plus the 18 taels of silver she had saved from selling medicine before, a total of 35 taels, the cost is definitely enough.

Everything is ready, Li Mingyue's small bacon workshop has temporarily opened.

In the first few days, the main work of the temporary small workshop was to wash pig intestines and scrape the casings for stuffing sausages.

The New Year is approaching, and there are many people slaughtering pigs. Fang Yuan and Li Mingzhi go door-to-door in several nearby villages to collect them. Not many people like to eat this food, and they basically sell it for money, which invisibly saves some expenses.

After washing the pig intestines for three days, the bamboo racks in the front yard of Luo’s house are full of casings… When enough sausage casings are collected, the small sausage workshop officially enters the assembly line operation.

Every morning Fangyuan and Mingzhi go to the town to buy the freshest pork and come back, then Mrs. Liu is in charge of cutting the meat, Li Mingyue is in charge of the most important marinating link, Li Mingzhi is in charge of filling the meat, and Li Minglan is in charge of pushing and kneading and tying the cotton thread.

Since the pork is sold together with the meat on the belt, a large pot of pigskin can be cut out of the fresh pork bought every day. There are so many pigskins that you can’t finish them, and you are even more reluctant to throw them away.

Li Mingyue started to use her small brain to make melon seeds, thinking that it could be made into fried pork skin, boiled soup, stir-fried vegetables, and eaten with cold salad, all of which were delicious.Pig skin is full of collagen, and it can also beautify the skin when eaten regularly.

This fried pork skin is also easy to make. Clean the raw pig skin and put it in a pot of clean water. After boiling on high heat, turn to low heat and cook until the pig skin thickens and changes color.Then take out the boiled pork skin, let it cool down and scrape off the fat from the inner layer of the pork skin with a knife.Then thread the pigskin that has been cleaned of grease and hang it in a ventilated place to dry.Wait until the pigskin is dry, put it into an oil pan, and fry it on low heat until the pigskin becomes fluffy and turns yellow.

In addition to marinating the pork, Li Mingyue was also in charge of cooking the pigskins. Mrs. Liu came over to help her after cutting the meat.

Several people are busy from morning to night every day, never idle for a moment. It is very hard work. They are so tired every day, and they fall asleep when they get home, but no one complains of suffering or tiredness.

The weather is also beautiful. Although the weather has been gloomy for the past few days, there has been no rain or snow.

In the front yard of Luo’s house, strings of red sausages and pieces of pigskin were hung on the bamboo racks, which was quite a spectacular scene.

Xiao Yide took a look at it once, and joked that he seemed to be in a meat forest in a wine pool.

Both Liu Shi and Li Minglan are people who are used to doing their jobs, they are quick to learn and their movements are agile.

The production of sausages and fried pork skin is proceeding in an orderly manner, and basically about 110 catties of sausages can be filled every day.According to this progress, the required sausages can be made in less than ten days, plus drying and smoking, and they will definitely be shipped on time before the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.

Time flies so fast when you are busy.In a blink of an eye, ten days later, about a thousand catties of sausages were finally filled, and the first batch of stuffed sausages was almost dried, and after being smoked, they were ready to be shipped.

This time, Li Minglan and Li Mingzhi were in charge of the smoke.The hanging pigskins were almost ready to dry, and Liu Shi and Li Mingyue were busy working on frying the pigskins again.

For the first batch of fried pork skins, Li Mingyue picked a few pieces and soaked them in clear water, and cooked a fried pork skin feast at night.Cold pork skin, stewed pork skin with cabbage, stir-fried pork skin, black fungus pig skin soup... once again successfully captured everyone's stomach.
