Chapter 349: Building a Circular Industrial Chain
The last step is to wash the pot with water and grind the soy milk into tofu dregs.
The quantity is huge, and the water used to wash the pot is white, which looks very nutritious. The tofu dregs are even whiter and tenderer, and cannot be wasted.
In later generations, these were used to feed pigs, but Su Wanwan knew that the people here cherished food, and the tofu dregs ground by the tofu shop were also bought and eaten.
Tofu dregs are cheap and nutritious, and can barely be considered a soy product.
In ancient times, many people could not afford meat, and soy products were natural proteins. Not only nobles liked to eat them, but also the poor.
Before the work was even completed, some villagers came to ask if the tofu dregs could be sold.
This tofu dregs is cheaper than tofu. If you go home and mix it with wild vegetables and steam it in a pot, it will also be a delicious dish.
Su Wanwan thought that the two pigs at home could not eat so much, so she asked them to buy it at a big discount.
Originally, I wanted to give it away as a gift, but there are many households in the village, and I didn't know who to give it to and who not to give it to. In order to avoid being embarrassed because of uneven distribution in the end, I just made people pay for it. However, the price is cheaper than the bean curd dregs sold by the tofu shop.
There was some left, so Su Wanwan had someone mix it with the water used to wash the pot, stir it, and send it home to feed the pigs.
There was a lot of water used in washing the pots, and she didn't want to waste the rest, so she sent it to the village head's house, which also had pigs.
However, when she saw these things, she thought about whether she should open another pig farm. In this way, the pot washing water and tofu dregs would be put to good use and would not be wasted.
But she didn't want to run a pig farm. If the villagers...
I was originally thinking of asking my aunt and her family of three to do it.
But my aunt's family had just built a house and had no capital, and they were embarrassed to use my uncle and her money.
What's more, they are all working in the workshop now and are working very hard. Raising pigs is not an easy job without some experience.
Wang Baolin is now her warehouse manager and has no time to do anything else for the time being.
But as for her aunt's family, she actually already had plans.
Wang Baolin was only temporarily managing the warehouse. She could see that the child was hardworking and capable. When the sweet potato vermicelli came out, she planned to teach him how to make hot and sour noodles, spicy hot pot, etc., which could also be a way to make a living.
She didn't want her relatives to be confined to the workshop; they should have their own business.
Okay, after confirming these, Su Wanwan gave up the idea of letting her aunt's family run the pig farm, but she could mobilize the villagers to raise pigs.
The opportunity is in his own hands. If he has the courage, someone will definitely be tempted.
Many people who do business are afraid to take the first step. They are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and they are afraid of losing money, so they miss a lot of opportunities.
Opportunities are always available for those who dare to think and act.
Nowadays, everyone in the village has money. Even if they raise a lot of pigs, every household that raises three or five pigs can afford to buy piglets.
Apart from anything else, piglets will grow faster after being castrated. The head of the village has already seen the signs and seemed to have said a while ago that he wanted to raise a few more pigs.
Pork is expensive, and three or five pigs can be sold for a lot of money. They can be raised by the elderly and children at home, and it can be considered an income.
Of course it doesn’t matter if no one does it. Just sell the bean dregs and throw away the water used to wash the pot. There’s nothing else you can do about it.
If many people in the village really raise pigs, the entire Daliushu Village can be said to have established a complete industrial chain.
The soybeans are sold to workshops, and the wastewater and bean dregs from the workshops can be fed to pigs, and the pig manure can be used as fertilizer, so nothing is wasted.
Su Wanwan could go home after having her people clean up. She carried the rice crusts back home.
Shen Zhao had eaten hot pot at home many times, so he had already brought out the stove and lit the fire.
I have two stoves at home now, so I just made two pots.
One pot is spicy, the other is not spicy.
It was not until then that Su Wanwan remembered why she didn't make a shabu-shabu pot. She would talk about it later.
The dishes were naturally rich in variety. Bean curd sheets were indispensable, and the leftover mutton was sliced up. The green leafy vegetables were all from the vegetable garden. In addition, there were soaked wood ear mushrooms and bamboo shoots, as well as potato chips.
There was not enough meat, so she cut some pork slices to make up the number. There was no other way. There were too few dishes and meat in that era. There was no shrimp meatballs or anything like that. Time was tight and she didn't have time to cook.
She cooked the base ingredients herself, and this novel way of eating it stunned Bai Shao at once.
Su Wanwan likes to eat it with sesame paste. Sesame paste was available in that era, but she would add some seasonings to mix it, and it would be very delicious when eaten with the dip.
Bai Shao ate in silence. He had never known that it was possible to eat like this.
A group of people gathered around a pot, eating while it cooked.
And the taste is spicy and fresh.
He also went to eat the non-spicy food over there, which was also delicious.
Different ingredients taste different when cooked. Even the vegetables that he usually doesn't like, after being cooked in the pot and dipped in sesame paste, he becomes addicted to them when he eats them.
It's incredible.
And as for the mushrooms, he actually fell in love with eating vegetarian dishes, which he had never expected.
The businessman was very perceptive and he knew what this business was without Su Wanwan telling him.
The weather is getting colder, especially in winter. If we eat these around a pot, we will get warmer and warmer. What's the point of having a restaurant?
"Sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law!"
Bai Shao was touched. How could such a good business fall into his hands?
Wow wow wow, so touching.
"What's the matter, cousin, you never treated Sister Wanwan as your sister-in-law before."
Lin Wenyue rolled her eyes at him and took another bite of the dish, looking extremely satisfied.
I'm so glad that I stayed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy this delicacy.
"Sister Wanwan, the bean curd skin has a different flavor after being dipped in the pot. I like it too."
Lin Wenyue ate a lot of yuba today, and she loved every way of eating it.
Ye Jingxue was sitting next to Xiao Yue'er, busy picking up food for her and didn't eat much herself.
Xiao Yue'er was also very smart and immediately helped her aunt pick up some food.
"Auntie, you eat, I'm full."
Looking at the sensible little Yue'er, Ye Jingxue's heart softened.
As for Su Wanwan, Shen Yuan has been picking food for her all the time. After living together for a long time, Shen Yuan knows her preferences very well and knows what dishes she likes to eat.
Perhaps because there were two girls present, Shen Yuan didn't say much and just served Su Wanwan silently.
Lin Wenyue, who was watching from the side, was also filled with envy.
Sister Wanwan is so happy. Sister Ye is right. Women must keep their eyes open when getting married. They must find a man like Shen Yuan.
Well, I will love my wife.
Bai Shao didn't think it was a big deal. His sister-in-law was such a good woman, if she was his wife, he would also spoil her.
In his opinion, Brother Shen was right to do so.
Su Wanwan talked to Bai Shao about the cooperation only after she had eaten her fill.
