Chapter 120: Fresh juice requires a juicer...
Chapter 120
"Sister, the chili sauce is finally done. I think it's ready. What do you think?" Cousin Lin felt a little hot and fanned herself with her hands.
Lin Mujin nodded. It was impossible for every recipe to be better than the original. "That's all. I'll write down the recipe."
She got a pen and paper and wrote down the various proportions, the order in which they should be added, and even the heat.
"Sister, which one do you want to do next?" asked cousin Lin.
Lin Mujin thought for a moment and said, "Luncheon meat, maybe."
She took the pork belly she had bought and said, "For luncheon meat, you need a clear separation of fat and lean meat, about a 2:8 ratio, 20% fat to 80% lean meat. Sister, separate the fat and lean meat and shave off all the fascia on the lean meat."
Cousin Lin quickly finished it with a kitchen knife.
"Cut off a third of the lean meat, slice it, and then cut it into strips," Lin Mujin continued. "It should be about the thickness of two five-cent coins."
Cousin Lin was puzzled. "You're not going to chop it into pieces?"
Lin Mujin actually knew. "Don't cut it. That way the luncheon meat will taste meatier. Add salt, MSG, pepper, and a little water and mix well."
In fact, many bloggers also add red yeast rice powder specifically for coloring.
She felt that it was unnecessary. Regardless of whether it was a seaweed roll or in the egg and vegetable liquid, the luncheon meat was not on the surface. The color didn't matter. As long as the taste was good, it was not a problem at all.
"Auntie, dice the fat into small pieces and the lean meat into large, thin slices. Then put them in the freezer for an hour."
"Frozen? Why?" Cousin Lin was confused again.
Lin Mujin explained, "Because meat can only be cured at low temperatures, luncheon meat won't cook successfully if the temperature is too high."
Cousin Lin's eyes widened. "Is there such a thing?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "Of course there must be one. Sister, do you remember yesterday when I used an electric mixer to whip the cream? That also requires low temperature. High temperature won't make it work."
Cousin Lin muttered, "So there are so many names for it."
It's like a new door has opened.
Lin Mujin said hurriedly, "So I'm considering buying another refrigerator. It's not because I like it, but because I really need it. It's barely whipping the cream now that the temperature is low, but in two months when the temperature rises, it will be difficult to do it. And things like whipping cream and cheese also need to be refrigerated. They go bad easily at room temperature. They're not cheap, and although I can put them in the refrigerator at home, it's not convenient enough."
This time, Cousin Lin didn't complain about the refrigerator being expensive. If you really need it, you have to buy it no matter how expensive it is.
The meat was sent to be frozen.
Lin Mujin also followed him. She went to the refrigerator to get something and brought back light cream, cheese, condensed milk, etc.
What is important is a cup of thick milk made with milk powder and refrigerated.
She wants to make milk cap.
I had originally planned to do it last night, but cousin Lin insisted that it was not good to drink coffee late at night, so I had to change it to daytime.
Put 50 grams of cheese, 60 grams of milk and 30 grams of condensed milk into a clean bowl, crush them a little with a spatula, and then beat them with a water whisk.
"Sister, let me do it." Cousin Lin took the egg beater. "Don't you have an electric one? Why did you buy a manual one?"
Lin Mujin explained, "The electric one is actually quite fast at low speed. Sometimes if you're not careful it'll spray everywhere. I'm thinking of buying a manual one, it's not that expensive. It's almost time, so I'll switch to the electric one. I'll blast until there are no more particles, and then I'll go through it and plug it in."
"Sister, we're done. What's next?" Cousin Lin lowered her head and sniffed. "It smells so good."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "Sister, it will smell better soon."
Add 80 grams of light cream and 2 grams of salt, and beat with a mixer at high speed.
"Sister, that's enough."
Lin Mujin quickly stopped the process, saying that the milk cap needed some fluidity.
I got a spoon and said, "Sister, have a taste."
Cousin Lin narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It tastes better than cream. Sister, I really like this taste."
Lin Mujin couldn't wait to scoop herself a spoonful. Wow! What a heavenly treasure!
"Sister, I'll make some coffee in a minute."
Find a glass, put in a bag of instant coffee, and brew it directly with a small amount of room temperature water.
Stir it with a spoon, then pour in cold milk, about two-thirds of the cup, and then pour in the milk cap.
"Sister, welcome to taste!"
It was delivered to Cousin Lin, and she ordered another portion for herself.
However, the cold milk is gone, so I have to make new milk. It’s not a big problem, just wait a little longer.
"How do you drink it, sister?" Cousin Lin held the cup and seemed a little reluctant to put it down.
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "Just drink it."
They didn't have any straws, so they could only drink it directly.
"Then I'll drink it!" Cousin Lin took a big sip. "Amei, it's delicious!"
He took another big sip, and after two sips, half of it was gone.
"Sister, how much is this drink?" Lin Mujin asked in a different tone, "How much are you willing to pay?"
Cousin Lin held the cup and said, "Five yuan... That's too cheap. No, no! It's coffee and milk, and there are so many good things. It can't be sold cheaply. Ten yuan, please."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "I haven't calculated the cost yet, but I won't sell it cheaply. We don't sell this drink in bulk."
It’s different from the sour plum soup we sold before.
In this case, we are still missing something that can be consumed in large quantities.
"Sister, have you ever had freshly squeezed juice?"
Cousin Lin repeated, "Freshly squeezed juice? What is that?"
Lin Mujin explained, "It's about squeezing juice from fresh fruits, but it has to be juicy, like oranges, pears, and watermelons."
Cousin Lin said, "That should be delicious."
"Auntie, Huimei Simple Meals mainly sells egg and vegetable sandwiches and hamburgers, with a side order of daifuku and seaweed rolls. Drinks are freshly squeezed juice and coffee milk tea. How's it going?"
Cousin Lin nodded. "Great! How do you make the fresh juice?"
Lin Mujin replied, "We need a juicer. Oranges are on the market in large quantities right now, and the wholesale price is very cheap. We can also price freshly squeezed juice at a more affordable price to increase sales and attract customers. We can also charge a higher price for coffee milk caps."
Cousin Lin nodded, "Sure."
Lin Mujin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Then, sister, have these items been decided for now?"
Cousin Lin didn't object, but said, "You haven't tried making hamburgers yet?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "I'll do it in a minute. It's very simple."
Cousin Lin continued, "What about the price? The packaging hasn't been decided yet, and there's also these..."
She pointed at the whipped cream and asked, "Do we need to buy it from a specialized store? Can we sign a contract?"
Lin Mujin touched her chin and said, "I think we can find a foreign trade company that specializes in food. The price will be much lower. It's really hard to determine the price right now. Once we succeed in making luncheon meat and hamburgers, we can go out and order them. That way, I can estimate the cost."
He slapped his forehead again and reminded himself, "Don't forget about rent, electricity, and labor when calculating costs this time."
Even includes machine depreciation.
It's a bit complicated.
