Chapter 25 The Huge Market

Dried pickled radish is the second variety that Wu Xiaozheng has brought to the market, for which he has been preparing for many days.

Compared with pickled radish, the process of drying pickled radish is slightly different.

The pickled radish adopts the wet pickling method. After the fresh radish is cut, it is directly thrown into the pickle jar and pickled with the prepared acid water, which will have a sour taste.

Dried pickled radish is different.

Before pickling dried radish, cut the radish into strips the size of chopsticks, then dry it half-dried, then mix in chili powder, salt, etc., and then put it in a jar for pickling. Do not add water, only add water to the edge of the altar to isolate the air.

The pickling time of dried pickled radish is also longer than that of pickled radish. It takes at least a week before it can be opened. It will be more fragrant and sweet if it is fried with oil before eating.

The tastes of the two are completely different. Pickled radish is hot and sour, while dried pickled radish is sweet. Of course, there is also a spicy taste.

The shelf life of the two is also different.After the pickled radish is left for a long time, it will become too sour or even taste bad, and it will be uneatable at that time.Dried pickled radishes are different. Under the premise of being isolated from the air, it will be fine for more than half a year, but it will be more fragrant and sweet.

If you consider the pickling time, Wu Xiaozheng is naturally more willing to produce pickled radishes now, because he has limited manpower now, and pickled radishes will produce faster results.But in the long run, dried pickled radish with a longer shelf life is a better choice.

There is another very important reason why Wu Xiaozheng launched pickled radish now, and that is that the New Year is coming soon.

In this day and age, according to the customs of the mainland, the vegetable market is generally closed during the Spring Festival, and even the restaurants have to close their doors and go home to celebrate the New Year. At least they will not reopen until the end of the seventh and eighth holidays of the Lunar New Year.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozheng, who urgently needs to prepare start-up funds, must make full use of the time of the Spring Festival to make the leftover radishes at home into dried pickled radishes, and put them on the market after a good year.

Wu Minxia and Yang Zhengyi have seen what it means to have a hot business.

"Wow, it is indeed produced by Chef Wu. This dried pickled radish is fragrant, sweet, and refreshing. It tastes great. Is the price also a piece?"

Wu Xiaozheng replied: "This one costs one yuan and five. This is dry, the quantity is more than pickled radish, and it has been fried with oil. The process is a little more complicated."

"Okay, give me two bottles."

"Give me six bottles, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I need to reserve a few more bottles."

"Give me two bottles of pickled radish and dried pickled radish."

……

After a while, a tricycle full of pickled vegetables was robbed, and customers who came a step late were still complaining.

"Chef Xiao Wu, can't you make more pickles!"

"That's right, in order to buy your pickled vegetables, I came to the market early on purpose, who knows, it's still a step late."

"Chef Xiao Wu, you will have no friends like this."

……

Wu Xiaozheng had no choice but to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm short of manpower now, and the amount I can produce every day is very limited. But I will come for a few days a year ago, so you guys try to come as early as possible tomorrow."

Wu Minxia was dumbfounded.

She heard that Wu Xiaozheng's pickled vegetables were very popular, but she didn't expect it to be so good, the supply was in short supply.

But she was still worried. She asked, "Your pickled vegetables are so easy to sell, won't others be jealous? Won't you flock to them?"

Wu Xiaozheng was very pleased that Wu Minxia could think of this so quickly. He said with a smile: "In fact, other people have already swarmed into it, and the price is cheaper than mine. It really affected my business at first, but after After the comparison, most of the old customers came back."

"why?"

"Because I win by taste and quality." Wu Xiaozheng said confidently.

In fact, this is the case. There are more and more pickled radishes in the market now, but after comparison, Wu Xiaozheng's business is not only not bad, but even more popular.Because the quantity is limited, many people came to the market early in the morning to wait.

The food market is indeed a place that wins by taste and quality.

Just like the Doll’s Head ice cream these years, because of the popularity of the Doll’s Head ice cream, there are many imitations on the market, but what everyone looks for is the Doll’s Head ice cream because of its improved taste.

This is also where Wu Xiaozheng is confident.

Don't underestimate things like pickled vegetables, which seem to be easy to make, but subtle differences in recipes and techniques can lead to big differences in taste.

Just like stir-frying, a good cook can turn simple raw materials into delicious dishes, while a bad cook can make delicacies unpalatable.

In order to let Wu Minxia realize how big the future market is, Wu Xiaozheng simply parked the tricycle in front of Liu Shuigen's shop, and took the couple to stroll around the market.

Wu Xiaozheng explained while walking.

"Think about it, our county alone has a population of more than 20 people. These people need to eat every day. With our current production, we don't have to worry about sales at all. Even if we expand the scale by ten or a hundred times, Our county alone is enough for us to digest."

"Our biggest problem now is insufficient production capacity, so the first thing to do is to recruit people to expand production capacity, and then gradually formalize and scale up."

"Don't worry about the sales. In our county, there are four or five large vegetable markets like this. Once the production is up, we will first develop distributors in these markets, and then push them to shops, grocery stores, etc. in the county. Townships can also expand."

"A little farther away, we can gradually develop to the surrounding counties and cities, and even push it to the national market in the future."

"Because I still have to go to school, I can control technical matters, and I will teach you how to operate, but the specific things still have to be done by you."

……

Wu Minxia became more and more excited.

"That's it, old lady... oh, I've done it with you. We have to go back to Yang's house during the Chinese New Year, and then your uncle has to rush back to be on duty. I'll be back on the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year. How about it? I'm all at your disposal."

This is a formal statement, and Wu Minxia has already made plans to stay without pay.

Then, Wu Minxia said with a playful smile: "But Xiaozheng, since the money is so easy to earn, can you give me a higher salary?"

This guy, even before he started working, he even negotiated terms with me!
No, she has to be strangled to death as soon as possible.

Wu Xiaozheng replied: "Oh, since the money is so easy to earn, why don't you do it yourself, and I'll hire Gao Ming?"

Wu Minxia: "..."

If I can do it myself, do I still need you bastard?The point is that I don't have this technology!

After the blow, Wu Xiaozheng still had to appease him.

"I told you that 300 is just the beginning. If you are really capable, a salary increase is not a problem at all. I will even give you shares. I'm just your aunt. Can I still treat you badly?"

Wu Minxia: "You brat!"
