The flesh on the faces of Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu jumped with excitement, like blooming dog tail flowers.

The two of them have been telling Li Zhongxin that they hope Li Zhongxin can find some suitable way out to get the people in the village to move, even if the people in the village are more miserable and tired, it doesn't matter.

They believed in Li Zhongxin at this time, because Li Zhongxin had indeed brought benefits to the people in their village.

The life of the people in the village has improved, and the prestige of Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu in Zhubantun has greatly increased. No matter where they go in the village, everyone will greet him cheerfully from the bottom of their hearts.

During the festival, most of the villagers in the village would spontaneously visit the two of them at home with the only good things they had at home, which made Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu feel like they wanted to smear the villagers' lives.

As soon as Li Zhongxin said that he wanted to engage in vermicelli processing, they were immediately excited. As long as Li Zhongxin proposed the project, countless people in their village would benefit.

The best area for making vermicelli is SD, and the most famous place for producing vermicelli is Longkou (Huang County).

In later generations, as long as vermicelli is mentioned, most people will think of Longkou. Most of the people who traveled from Guandong to the Northeast were SDs, and among the SD people, the largest number were from Huang County.

Li Zhongxin's uncle's family is all from Huang County, because Huang County people know how to live frugally and are willing to work hard. Many of the first people in the Northeast to become rich are from Huang County.

Li Zhongxin worked in resort catering in later generations. When he was over 40 years old, he and his friends went fishing on the farm below Jiangcheng. The friend took Li Zhongxin to visit the old-fashioned vermicelli workshop on the farm and wanted him to sell the old-fashioned vermicelli in the restaurant.

His handmade vermicelli. Because not a long time passed, he could still remember it fresh even after he was reborn.

Li Zhongxin knew the general direction of making vermicelli and the technical process of making vermicelli. However, when it came to the actual operation, Li Zhongxin had no way.

Not only is Li Zhongxin young and always likes to hide behind the scenes, but also because Li Zhongxin really has never done any processing with his own hands.

The equipment for processing vermicelli does not need to be very good, but the place where the vermicelli is made must be large. From the time when the potatoes are made into flour until the vermicelli is made, it not only requires a large place to work, but also requires a large space for drying.

The primary school here in Zhubantun has a huge space, and the former primary school in Zhubantun was merged into the city due to the small number of students, so it has been vacated. It can be used as the site of the vermicelli factory. As long as Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu contact Potato

Once it is in place, you can start making vermicelli immediately.

In the early 1980s, there were no machines for making vermicelli, and it was almost purely handmade. The process and technology of making vermicelli are very simple, but many people don't bother to do it.

There is another biggest reason, that is, in the early 1980s, despite the reform and opening up, people were still afraid of doing business, fearing that if the policy changed, their work would end up being in vain, and there were even

Prison disaster.

The older people are, the less likely they are to let their children go into business, let alone have contact with those who do business.

It is said that those trend-setters who started doing business in the early days of reform and opening up are capitalist roaders. The tail of a rabbit cannot grow long. Don't watch them jumping happily now. In two years they will have to make a list.

Later generations of Li Zhongxin heard from their elders that in the mid-1980s, there was a slight backlash in the policies of the Northeast region, and many of the trendsetters under the reform and opening up were invited into the situation.

Li Zhongxin had been worried about this trend in the past, but now he is affiliated with Zhubantun. It is a collective enterprise, and even if there are policy iterations, it will not fall on him.

Li Zhongxin told Liang Guofu and Dong Guozhong to summon a dozen people, and he explained to them the essentials of making vermicelli that his uncle had taught him.

The reason why Li Zhongxin carried his uncle out is very simple. This kind of thing must be simple and normalized. They must not let them think that he is omnipotent and can do everything.

Try to find a source for everything, which will be of great help to him hiding behind the scenes.

After Li Zhongxin called these people together, he began to explain to them how to make vermicelli.

The process of making vermicelli is very simple. After cleaning the potatoes, put them into the prepared rows of large vats. This process is called pulping.

After the slurry in the large vat is cured, put it into a cloth bag to filter out the water. If the filtered water is dried, it will be what we know as potato starch.

Use a tool as large as a household cutting board to crush the filtered wet starch into fine pieces.

After these tasks are completed, the work begins.

Get a large iron pot with the largest diameter, and knead flour noodles in the iron pot as you would knead noodles.

The most laborious process of making vermicelli is this. It usually requires six to eight very strong men to circle around the city and work with their hands rhythmically for more than half an hour until no "knot" can be felt inside.

After pouring the powder, it is time to start leaking the powder. The tool for powder leakage is very special. Even though the vermicelli is very thin, the tool like a small iron basin used for powder leakage should have holes as thick as a little finger. This way

Only then can we ensure that the powder leaks out.

By adjusting the distance between the colander and the large iron pot of boiling water, you can control the thickness of the vermicelli.

The leaked flour is cooked in the big pot until it floats, which is considered a successful leak.

These fans that have successfully leaked the powder will be quickly picked up and put into the cold water pot next to them to cool down.

After the cooling is completed, use some wooden sticks to pick up the formed vermicelli and hang it on the playground of the primary school to dry. It will take a few days to dry and become the vermicelli we see.

The most popular winter vegetables in the north are cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. Potatoes are produced in large quantities and are quite cheap.

However, the flour extraction rate of potatoes is not very high. Generally, it takes five or six kilograms of good-quality potatoes to produce one kilogram of starch. If the potatoes contain low starch, it will take more than seven or eight kilograms to produce one kilogram of starch.

Good potatoes from 1982 cost eight cents a catty if bought in small quantities. If a big shop like the Vermicelli Factory buys them in large quantities, the price of potatoes will be no more than six cents a catty. If a big shopper rushes to sell them, the price may even be higher.

It can continue to drop. At this time, the wholesale price of starch in Jiangcheng is about 70 cents. Even if he doesn't make more vermicelli, selling starch alone is a very profitable thing. Li Zhongxin doesn't want to worry about how much money he can make.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to do it, after all, he has no intention of starting this vermicelli factory.

In the Northeast, under normal circumstances, potatoes begin to be produced in late September.

Li Zhongxin made some calculations and found that when making vermicelli in a large place like Zhubantun Primary School, about 500 kilograms of starch should be produced every day, and the output of starch should be 1,000 kilograms. It would take two or three months to start work.

After the vermicelli and starch are made, they can be sold directly in the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket. It will be a very good thing for both the people who make vermicelli and the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket.

Li Zhongxin knew clearly that the production process of the vermicelli making thing he made was very simple. He just wanted to eat some good vermicelli. He suddenly thought of something. For the now prosperous Zhongxin Company, this thing is almost useless.

, it is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to throw it away.

Li Zhongxin directly told Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu that the vermicelli factory was under the name of Zhongxin Company, but it was a village-run factory in Zhubantun and Fulong Village. He did not participate in the management or dividends.

, just one request, when he wants to eat good vermicelli, it must be delivered to him.

Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu were immediately overjoyed when they heard that Li Zhongxin said that the vermicelli factory would be run and managed by the village.

The two of them have been in contact with Li Zhongxin for a long time, and many ideas have opened up. They also understand how much profit margin this kind of vermicelli processing factory will have.

Because the mountains in Jiangcheng are high and the emperor is far away, it is an area far away from the center of the motherland. In many cases, vermicelli cannot be distributed in their place.

If you really make good vermicelli, you won't have to worry about selling it, not to mention that there is a Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket that can sell this kind of thing.

The most popular dishes cooked by Northeasterners in winter are sauerkraut, cabbage and potatoes. Stewed sauerkraut, pork belly and vermicelli, and cabbage stewed with vermicelli are all quite good stews. There is also the famous stir-fried sauerkraut powder in the Northeast.

, as long as they can produce as much as they can, they can probably sell as much as they can.

You don’t need a ticket to buy ingredients like potatoes. You can buy as much as you want, and the noodles you make don’t need a ticket. This is definitely a great thing that benefits the people of Jiangcheng.
