Chapter 89 It's just a matter of time

Secretary He thought about it seriously and asked Zhou Xian to come up with a plan. He thought it was a good idea no matter how he thought about it.

Moreover, as long as Comrade Xiao Zhou talks about something, it can be accomplished very well in the end. No matter from which perspective, this is a good idea.

"Well, go ask Shengyi if he can make pickled eggs."

Secretary He still has great trust in Yang Shengyi's craftsmanship.

Zhou Xian went to find Yang Shengyi and only told him about the pickled eggs.

Yang Shengyi thought for a while before saying, "Sister Zhou, I know how to pickle duck eggs. I don't know how pickled chicken eggs taste, but I can make other flavors. Can I try it?"

Zhou Xian naturally had no objection. She also guessed that since she had proposed an idea, Yang Shengyi could think of other ones.

As for the eggs for her to try, they were naturally provided by the commune.

School was over quite early at this time, so Zhou Xian and Yang Shengyi agreed to go directly to the commune canteen after she got out of school.

After Master Qu heard this, he did not leave after get off work.

He had also tasted the kimchi made by Yang Shengyi before, and it was indeed delicious.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make that taste. This aroused his competitive spirit, and he wanted to see what was going on.

Before staying, he naturally asked Yang Shengyi's opinion. What if it was an ancestral craft and the other party didn't want to pass on the recipe, he wouldn't be able to stay with such a thick face.

Yang Shengyi felt a little embarrassed. This was not an inherited recipe at all. It was a small business she had figured out in her previous life to make a living.

Yang Shengyi did not refuse Master Qu's wish to stay and watch. Her method was indeed not a secret recipe.

Seeing that Master Qu agreed to let her stay, he helped Yang Shengyi.

She used the eggs to make salt-baked eggs.

Master Qu watched her put the raw eggs into the salt pile and slowly heated them until they were cooked. He was watching very seriously and didn't dare to disturb her.

Yang Shengyi also worked very seriously until the eggs were cooked. Master Qu and Zhou Xian both took a taste.

The taste is indeed different from boiled eggs, and the texture is better.

"Did you come up with this method yourself?" Master Qu had never seen such a method before. The eggs were buried in the salt pile, but they didn't taste salty at all.

Yang Shengyi shook his head. "It's not something I came up with. I heard from an educated youth that this is how it's done in her hometown."

Master Qu nodded, not too surprised. The educated youth agreed that they came from all over the world, so it was normal to have some local specialties in eating.

It's just a little bit salty. It's a waste of salt to cook eggs this way.

"This salt can be reused several times. If you use too much, it will not be effective. I can also make braised eggs, but it takes time. How about I write down the recipe for you, and some seasonings. You can try it and see if it tastes good too."

As he spoke, Yang Shengyi took out a notebook from his bag, wrote the prescription on the paper and handed it to Master Qu.

Seeing that the recipe was written down, Master Qu took a look and said, "Okay, I'll try it tomorrow."

Yang Shengyi took some more eggs back and planned to make some pickled eggs to see how they tasted.

The next morning, Master Qu arrived at the cafeteria.

After getting the recipe, he didn't sleep much the whole night. Some of the seasonings were not available in the cafeteria, but he had some at home, and this time he almost took out all the seasonings from the bottom of the box.

The brine had been cooking for almost the entire morning, and the fragrance had been wafting over the commune.

When it was finally time to eat, as soon as the people entered the cafeteria, they asked Chef Qu what delicious food he had prepared. The aroma was so tempting that they could hardly work properly.

Master Qu took out the braised eggs.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying the meal very much, and even Secretary He thought it tasted great.

"Xiao Zhou, is this made from the recipe Shengyi gave me?"

"Yes, she gave the recipe to Master Qu. Let's try it and see how it tastes."

Zhou Xian also gave yesterday’s salt-baked eggs to Secretary He to taste, and he also tried today’s braised eggs.

There's actually nothing to complain about the taste, except that eggs are quite precious, and when they're canned, they can't be cheap.

Zhou Xian also felt that canning eggs would not be cheap. She also asked the system to check and found that the country still had vacuum packaging machines. If they could find a way to get a few machines and make the braised eggs into individual packages, people would probably be more accepting of it.

Now they are also worried that if the egg business is successful, there will be a shortage of supply in the future. Purchasing eggs from members' homes is not stable at all. Once the source is cut off, their production line will be scrapped.

"I remember that there are chicken farms in the communes we contacted. I will contact them to see if I can buy eggs from them."

Secretary He paused again and said, "I think it would be best if our commune also built a chicken farm. That way we would have a guarantee."

It’s like the vegetables in the pickle factory are all supplied by the subordinate teams, so they have a rough idea of ​​the output.

Once you set up a chicken farm, you will have an idea of ​​the quantity.

"I think raising chickens is not as good as raising quails. Quails have a good yield, and the nutritional value of quail eggs is not worse than chicken eggs. Most importantly, quail eggs are cheap."

"But we have never raised quails before, so we can at least ask for advice and experience from others when it comes to raising chickens."

"Secretary He, no one in our commune has ever built a greenhouse before, but now we are doing well."

Secretary He looked at Zhou Xian and laughed, "That's right, you should be brave enough to try everything."

Other communes raise chickens, but they raise quails. They lay eggs anyway, and chicken eggs can be salt-baked or braised, so there is no reason why quail eggs cannot be made that way.

It takes time to raise quails. Now we are still making canned eggs. If we can get a vacuum packaging machine, we can package the eggs.

When you have quail eggs in the future, you can do the same.

"Xiao Zhou, your brain is really a treasure."

"You're too kind. It was just a sudden thought." Zhou Xian said modestly.

In fact, it is not a sudden idea. It is indeed not cheap to use eggs to make canned food.

She was also thinking about the substitute of eggs.

These are what Zhou Xian selected from the system. Whether it is chicken eggs or duck eggs, the cost is a bit high, but quail eggs are different.

The first thing we considered was duck eggs, but there were not many families raising ducks in the team, so this option would definitely not work.

Pigeon eggs won’t work either.

Finally, Zhou Xian simply used the system to search, and after eliminating layer by layer, he chose quail eggs.

There are quails in this mountain. Although they are small in size, they lay a lot of eggs. They are very useful and can be used to replace eggs. They are also very cost-effective.

She was originally thinking about how to replace it with Secretary He, and when Secretary He asked her, she told him.

Secretary He disagreed with Zhou Xian's modesty. Sometimes it was this sudden inspiration that led to so many surprises.

Zhou Xian quickly wrote a plan for Secretary He, including methods of raising quails. The plan was so detailed that he could not find any problems at all.

Fortunately, he didn't originally want to choose. After it was decided, Secretary He started to choose a place.

Originally they wanted to locate the quail factory here in the commune, but just in time someone from a subordinate brigade came to ask when their brigade could build a plastic greenhouse. Secretary He looked at the person and immediately changed his mind.

Secretary He smiled what he thought was a kind smile, "The commune is planning to build a quail factory recently. Are you interested?"

The visitor was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse. He knew quails, which were palm-sized creatures. Although he had never raised one, he knew that it was difficult to raise them.

Secretary He also noticed the other party's hesitation and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have detailed breeding methods here, and I will send technicians to help you."

The captain of the Chrysanthemum Brigade was about to say no when he suddenly remembered how Zhou Jiefang, the captain of the Peach Blossom Brigade, had actively fought for the plan to build a plastic greenhouse.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly changed direction, "Okay, Secretary He, we are willing to do it."

Just raise quails, and as for greenhouse vegetables, Taohua Team has tried it before, and now it is successful.

He believed that their team could also succeed.

Besides, Secretary He also said that he would send technical personnel to guide them, so there is no need to worry. If I remember correctly, the greenhouse vegetables of Taohua Brigade were invented by themselves.

If it really succeeds, their team will also benefit.

"Don't worry, we won't let you down."

"Don't be nervous, we are just trying it out."

Secretary He also didn't want to put too much pressure on the team leaders under him. Even if Xiao Zhou gave a plan, he still knew about the story of talking about it on paper, and he still had to see the actual situation.

Since it was decided, Secretary He asked him to go back and prepare.

The location of the quail farm and the things needed to raise quails.

Before leaving, the captain thought of a very important question, "Captain, what about the quail?"

To raise quails, you first need quails, right?

"Don't worry about that. Our commune will take care of it."

The captain then went back with peace of mind.

After he left, Secretary He stood up. The plan Zhou Xian gave did not really explain where the quails came from.

If you want to raise quails, you must have quails.

He only knew that this thing existed in the wild, but he didn't know whether there were any breeding eggs for it. If there were, he could just file an application report directly.

Zhou Xian asked for leave from him today and no one knows where he went.

Just when Secretary He was about to make a phone call to inquire, Zhou Xian came back.

In one hand he was holding a cage with two quails in it, and in the other hand he was holding a small bag with a dozen quail eggs in it.

"Xiao Zhou, where have you been?"

"Let's go up the mountain to catch quails." Zhou Xian handed over the quail in his hand.

"Secretary He, I'll take this back and raise it for a few days. I'll send it over when the quail factory is ready. There are some eggs in here. I'll try to see if they can hatch. If they can, we won't have to worry about quails in the future."

Secretary He was shocked by Zhou Xian's operation. Just when he was worried about the quail, she turned around and got some quail over.

He even began to wonder whether he should ask some people to go up the mountain to catch more quails.

Zhou Xian shook his head. "Forget it. If the female quail is frightened, it won't lay many eggs. I have a way. Let me do it."

"Oh well."

Secretary He did not ask Zhou Xian what method he used. Sometimes one should not get to the bottom of things too much.

Naturally, Zhou Xian couldn't tell Secretary He that she had a system and could sign in.

This pair of quails was the one she found when she signed in at another place.

I've already signed in at the Taohua Brigade, but there are other brigades as well. At most I'll just have to go a few more times to sign in. As long as there are a few pairs of quails, they can lay quail eggs. Then I can leave the breeding eggs and hatch more quails.

It is only a matter of time before the farm grows bigger.
