Faced with Aunt Su's question, Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's right! These are star anise, a new variety I discovered when I was clearing land in the mountains!
Su Chunmei got an affirmative answer and became more and more confused.
What is the use of Lin Jue going to the mountains to find these "messy" fruits back?
Could it be that he wants to use these star anise for cooking!
These spices are small and ugly, and the color is still unacceptable to the incompetent purple sauce!
Even if you can really make any food, just looking at its color will already make people lose their appetite!
"Xiao Jue, if you pick so many star anise and come back, what year and month will it take?" Spice like this is so cheap that you can buy a big pack for a few dollars on the market! There's no need to pick these wild fruits!
Su Chunmei looked at him with a frown, she sometimes really felt that some of Lin Jue's behavior was quite incomprehensible.
Go and pick these inexplicable wild star anise back, cook it for my wife and children, and finally eat poisoned?
Isn't this playing with the house and messing around?
Lin Jue patiently explained to Aunt Su: "The quality of those star anise on the market is completely incomparable to this!" I plan to use it for a new dish later! "
New dishes?!"
Jiang Ceramics and Su Chunmei exclaimed in unison.
"Husband, are you planning to launch new dishes to sell?" Jiang Ceramics asked curiously.
Lin Jue nodded and smiled, "That's right! Now our tea eggs, can sell two thousand a day is close to the limit. In the future, it can be predicted that the sales will definitely be less and less! Even if the tea eggs are delicious, they will be tired of eating them every day. So new dishes must be introduced! Jiang
Ceramics fully understood what Lin Jue meant.
Indeed, their tea eggs are still a "new thing" for the villagers.
Out of curiosity, they will definitely want to come and buy a few to try.
But as soon as the freshness passes, the heat drops.
In the future, the sales of tea eggs will definitely not be as much as now.
What's more, the price of their tea eggs is not cheap, even if it does have some kind of magical "magic use", but ordinary families in the village can not afford to eat such expensive food every day.
Launching new dishes can continue to arouse customers' curiosity and attract them to come to their door, which is indeed a good solution.
"But what do these star anise have to do with your new dishes?" Are you really going to use them for cooking? There was some worry in Jiang Porcelain's tone.
She believes that Lin Jue's cooking skills are very good and very professional.
But it doesn't mean that every dish he launches will definitely be liked by customers.
If a new dish is made, the market response is terrible, and customers have a lot of bad reviews!
Then they not only can't make money, but they may also lose money and lose credibility!
Once the reputation stinks, it is difficult to do business.
Lin Jue will not understand this truth.
In the face of Jiang Porcelain and Aunt Su's questioning, Lin Jue's attitude was very relaxed.
Whether it is delicious or not, whether it can be used or not, you will only know if you practice!
It's a donkey or a horse, pull it out and you'll know it!
He is still very confident in these spices, which is his judgment as a chef from experience!
"Okay. There is no point in discussing so much, and when I use these spices to make dishes in the evening, whether it is good or not, I know for myself!
Lin Jue began to deal with these star anise on his own.
Jiang Ceramics and Su Chunmei saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, and there was no way, they could only let Lin Jue "mess around".
He boiled a pot of hot water, poured fresh star anise into the hot water and boiled it a little with water.
This step is called "blanching star anise", boiled star anise in hot water, after drying, the fragrance will be more intense, the edges and corners are relatively hard, and the fruit petals are not easy to fall.
After the ordinary star anise is blanched, the color of the dried sun is brown-red, or dark red, the color is good, and the quality is good.
This trick is still the method that Lin Jue taught him when he went to the Fangchenggang octagonal planting base!
The little purple star anise was boiled in the water, and when it was scooped up, the water in the cauldron was dyed purple red!
He spread these star anise evenly on bamboo plaques, then sent them to the courtyard, and directly rested them on the roof tiles to expose to the sun.
On a big sun day, a day or two in the sun, it is basically dry through.
Yesterday, he also picked some peppercorns and fragrant leaves, the fragrant leaves do not need to be treated, after cleaning, put in a ventilated place to dry.
In the case of peppercorns, it is also necessary to process them in the same way as star anise.
These peppercorns picked on the mountain are golden yellow when ripe, which is particularly beautiful!
This color is neither green peppercorns nor red peppercorns, Lin Jue simply gave it a name, called "golden peppercorns"!
Green peppercorns sold in the market, and red peppercorns, are two different varieties of Zanthoxylum peppercorns, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Green peppercorn flavor hemp, but the aroma is not enough, red pepper is very fragrant, but the hemp degree is not enough, the taste of these two peppercorns is complementary.
He didn't know what the taste of this golden peppercorn was, and he also had to make a dish to know how effective it was!
After dealing with these, Lin Jue hastily ate a lunch.
Today's tea and egg business is obviously not as hot as yesterday, and the two thousand eggs that came in, only sold a thousand in the morning.
Compared to yesterday's performance, it is much worse.
In order to sell tea and eggs these days, the family is busy from morning to night, and many times, when there are many guests, they don't even have time to go to the toilet and drink water.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, as a traditional festival, families must also go to the festival with their families, prepare to make rice dumplings, worship, watch dragon boats and so on.
Lin Jue also plans to close the business for a day off.
Let the two aunts go to spend the holidays with their families, and they themselves have time to go to the houses of relatives and friends to sit as guests.
What's more important is that Lin Jue also wants to take the opportunity to go home and see his parents....
When several people were eating, Lin Jue mentioned this matter to his wife.
"Wife, tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival, I will take a day off first and stop doing business. I'm going to take you and the kids home! Lin Jue said this.
When Jiang Ceramics heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds and slowly put down his chopsticks.
She knew that since Lin Jue tossed about making an Internet café half a year ago, his relationship with his family had become very stiff.
At that time, his parents did not agree to him opening an Internet café, and he insisted on going his own way, and secretly turned over the money his father hid under the bed and took 5,000 yuan.
His father was so angry that he was about to commit high blood pressure, and he took a broom and threw him out of the house!
Tell him that you will never set foot in this house again!
After Lin Jue's business failed, he was destitute and had no face to go back to his hometown.
He knew that even if he went back, he would be scolded by his father, and there was no way to ease the relationship between the two families.
Now that Lin Jue has finally made money, the five thousand yuan he owed his father at the beginning can finally be repaid, and he naturally wants to take this opportunity to go back and apologize to his parents!
Jiang Ceramics understood this, and quickly nodded: "Good." Let's go home together tomorrow, bring some gifts by the way, and can't go empty-handed!
Lin Jue was also very happy to see that his wife agreed, and said with a hearty smile: "The gift or something, I'll just prepare it!" My uncle's house has a lot of expensive goods, and when I finish eating, I will go to his house to buy a tobacco and alcohol or something!
"Don't spend too much... Save a little! Ginger porcelain reminded.
"I know my wife, I know how to score!"
After hastily eating, Lin Jue came to his uncle's house, it just so happened that their family was also eating, and both husband and wife were there, and they were quite surprised to see Lin Jue suddenly visit.
Wang Youde thought that Lin Jue had come to tell him about sending him eggs today, but he didn't think about it, but he said it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Uncle, you should have a lot of good smoke bars at home? I want to buy some from you and make it a gift! Lin Jue said directly.
Wang Youde was stunned, who was Lin Jue planning to give a gift?
Also said to be good tobacco and alcohol!
"There are things, but you boy, what are you planning to do badly?" Wang Youde got up and took him to his storeroom.
He is a businessman, usually talking about business with other big bosses, it is inevitable to bring some gifts or something, and other people's families will also bring gifts when they come to him as guests.
He is also a non-smoker and alcohol, and his usual hobby is only drinking tea, so there are a lot of things hoarded in this storage room!
The things sold in the shops in the village are cheap, even if there are expensive goods, it is very likely to buy "fakes", for this reason, Lin Jue came to find his uncle.
"Uncle, what other bad thing can I do?" Lin Jue said with a smile, "I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow and bring some gifts to my family!"
When Wang Youde heard it, he also knew that Lin Jue planned to go home and apologize to his parents.
He raised his hand and patted Lin Jue's shoulder and said, "You kid should really go home and take a look." Be nice, your parents will definitely forgive you!
"I know this, uncle don't worry!"
Wang Youde took him into the storage room, there are indeed a lot of things in the storage room, what Jian Nanchun, Zhuyeqing, Overlord Drunk, Feitian Maotai, etc., there are quite a lot of varieties of wine.
And they are basically relatively famous expensive goods.
In the case of smoke, there are far fewer types, mainly hibiscus king and soft China.
Lin Jue took two bottles of Moutai and two hibiscus kings, Moutai mainly has value-added potential, and the longer it is placed, the more valuable it is.
Furong King is the brand that Dad usually likes to smoke, he doesn't know how to smoke, he doesn't know whether it's good or bad, he can only come according to the old man's preferences!
Wang Youde saw that he had picked it well, so he said to him: "I bought Moutai a few years ago, a bottle of two hundred and five, and the king of Furong costs one hundred and twelve." If you calculate it, it's seven hundred and forty yuan..."
Lin Jue took out his wallet, glanced at his uncle with a smile, and said, "It's cheaper, uncle!" How can I say that I am also your nephew, how about giving a relative a friendly price?
Wang Youde looked at Lin Jue's clever eyes, and did not want to argue with him on such a trivial matter, so he simply complied with his meaning.
"Okay! Uncle doesn't want to take advantage of you, just give a meaning of five hundred yuan! Wang Youde waved his hand helplessly and said.
