Chapter 397 Induction and Canning

Seeing the fishermen gathered around, Fang Xing pointed to the pot and said, "Today I invited this family to try making canned fish for everyone, everyone should pay attention."

The family immediately demonstrated the skill of braised fish, but put a lot of salt, and Fang Xing could only feel helpless about it.

In today's absence of methods such as sterilization and inactivation, this relatively primitive method can only be used to extend the storage time.

The fish meat cut into large sections is cooked on a high fire, and then changed to a low fire and simmered slowly.

Fang Xing took advantage of this time to explain: "Braising in brown sauce costs ingredients, but the smell of sea fish is strong. If it is not braised in brown sauce, those buyers will not like it. Everyone can also come up with ideas, try them all, and see which method It can remove the fishy smell of sea fish."

"Add a little more salt."

Fang Xing continued: "This can delay the rotting of the fish. The second is to cook the fish more. It is best to make the bones of the fish crispy."

It's talking here, and the fishermen are listening attentively.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing had some guesses in his heart, so he pulled Xu Fangda aside and said in a low voice, "Your teacher wants to take care of your father's business!"

The Xu family can be regarded as a medium-sized business in Taizhou Prefecture, but after Xu Fangda entered school, Xu Qing transferred the business to others.

As a businessman for many years, Xu Qing immediately saw the business opportunities here.

"Your teacher is indeed a kind person!"

Hearing this, Xu Fangda nodded and said, "Teacher is a good person. During this time, he took me with him in dealing with things, and told me not to become a nerd, otherwise he would expel me from the teacher's school."

Xu Qingxi said: "Sure enough, Wen Qu Xing came down to earth, your teacher's move is exactly what you want to do for your father!"

For more than a year, Xu Fangda read the first volume of mathematics like a madman, and then wrote and drew by the river all day. Others said that there was a madman in the old Xu family.

At that time, Xu Fangda didn't listen to anyone, and worried the whole family.

Xu Fangda said embarrassingly: "The teacher said that my temperament is suitable for doing research, but I can't become a nerd. I need to be physically strong and observe world affairs."

Xu Qing said gratifiedly: "Then as a father, let's see if there is anything that can share the worries for Xing and Bo. It can be regarded as a thank you."

At this time Fang Xing had already picked up a clay pot, and showed it: "Everyone pay attention, the inside of this clay pot must be cleaned, then boiled or steamed in boiling water, and then put the prepared fish in it."

"Remember, you must pack it while it's hot, and then seal it." Fang Xing put the clay pot and lid into the boiling water beside it to boil.

"Uncle, should you use lime tung oil and white hemp to seal the sides of the jar?"

A middle-aged man with rough hands and feet asked.

Fang Xing nodded and said: "That's exactly what it means, but you must try it a few times, so as not to make too much and rot."

Fang Xing also had no choice, so he came up with this method.

After waiting for a while, the stove started cooking in advance.

"Come, come, everyone, pay attention."

Fang Xing greeted with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After the family completed the entire sealing process in a strange manner, the fishermen all had a look of reluctance on their faces.

"It's too troublesome! And if you add salt, it will cost a lot of money."

"That's right, we don't have such craftsmanship. If we make a mistake or the taste is not good, who is to blame?"

"It's easy to talk about fishing, and it's okay to make dried fish, but I'm afraid my family won't be able to make it like this."

"Uncle, the young one can only fish, I'm afraid I can't handle the others!"

A bold fisherman spoke out everyone's aspirations, and everyone else echoed, saying that he couldn't do such a troublesome thing.

"Is that so?"

Fang Xing said with regret on his face, "Then..."

Fang Xing's eyes looked around for a while, and paused for a while on Xu Qing's body.

"Uncle, why don't Xu give it a try?"

Xu Qing stood up, nodded to the surroundings and said: "I, Xu Qing, guess that some people present know me,

If it is trustworthy, Xu will discuss it with his uncle to see what method can be used to solve this matter. "

"It's Mr. Xu, I know him, the little one even sold fish to your family!"

Fang Xing nodded slightly, and then said, "Since that's the case, can we do this?"

"Mr. Xu is in charge of buying everyone's fish, and has nothing to do with everyone from now on."

When the fishermen were overjoyed, they hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, this is the best."

"I didn't dare to fish too much before, because I was afraid that it would stink if I couldn't sell it. If Mr. Xu can take it away, what are we afraid of?"

"Yes, it's just that the money won't be delayed, right?"

A shrewd fisherman asked.

"Pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand!"

Fang Xing said categorically, and then comforted Xu Qing: "Mr. Xu can rest assured, it is the same with your side, the goods will be delivered to Jinling or Beiping, and the payment will be made immediately after inspection."

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Xu here is naturally trustworthy."

The next step was to spend money, Fang Xing asked people to buy the baskets of copper coins for dried fish, and amidst the cheers of the fishermen, he went back with a fishy smell all over his body.

Back in the camp, Fang Xing and Xu Qing discussed the future.

"Try to make a small batch first and send it to Jinling, and sell it there, and then make a large amount after the follow-up is stable."

Fang Xing gave the address to Xu Qing, and then explained: "The main thing is to remove the fishy smell, and then you can try to make other flavors, and widen the price difference according to the cost."

Xu Qing was surprised and said: "How can Uncle understand the business affairs?"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Everything in the world has a reason to exist. I opened a restaurant in Jinling, and the business is good."

Knowing that Fang Xing was also in business, the last stone in Xu Qing's heart fell, and he hurriedly went to buy some fish to test.

Before Xu Qing left, Fang Xing found Xu Fangda and his servants.

"Can you see what I did today?"

As soon as Xu Fangda arrived, Fang Xing asked a question, which made him think carefully while enlightening him.

The weather in October seems to be very suitable, but it is a bit dry.

Fang Xing drank chrysanthemum tea, and signaled Fang Wu and Xiaodao to think about it too. As for Xin Laoqi, he didn't dare to expect too much.

After waiting for half the salary, Xu Fangda still had a dazed expression on his face, obviously he had no conclusion.

Fang Wu tentatively said, "Master, do you mean it today?"

Xiaodao also said: "Fifth brother is right, master, I also think you did it on purpose today."

Fang Xing glanced at the smiling Xin Laoqi, nodded and said, "It was on purpose."

"You all have to remember."

Fang Xing warned: "The common people are the most realistic. They eat three meals a day, and having children is the focus of their lives, so they cannot be driven by promises alone."

Xu Fangda said confusedly: "Teacher, when the government used to serve the common people, they were very honest!"

"That's a threat."

Fang Xing said indifferently: "The county magistrate who destroys the family, the governor who destroys the family. If the people don't follow, the family will be destroyed at least, and the family will be destroyed if it is serious. Do you understand?"

After Xu Fangda was shocked, he remained silent, looking a little at a loss.
