Chapter 83 New Products



Several people present looked at each other.

They had never heard of spicy crispy fish fillets.

"Cut the grass carp into small slices, fry them in oil until crispy, and then add a unique spicy sauce to make spicy crispy fish slices." Jiang Wanyue said, "I plan to add outer packaging and sell it as a snack."

"Snacks?" Tian Youliang frowned. It was the first time he felt that Jiang Wanyue's suggestion was unreliable. He carefully chose his words to persuade her, "These days, people have just had enough to eat and are not starving to death. How can they have extra money to buy snacks?"

Song Dahai nodded and said, "Why not just sell them as dried fish? We can get back more than 400 yuan, and we can save money to raise the next batch of fish. Next time we sell fish, we just need to be more careful."

"I proposed selling crispy fish slices not only to solve this problem, but also for another reason." Jiang Wanyue looked at the others and said, "When the neighboring brigade sees that our fish farm can make money, they will probably follow suit. When everyone starts raising fish, the market will become more and more saturated. Therefore, we must develop new products to stay ahead."

In later generations, there were various kinds of fish snacks, which were just a small piece of fish packaged together. They were extremely popular among consumers and made a lot of money.

She planned to make spicy crispy fish fillets because she loved eating this in her previous life. The aunt at home was very good at making it and would make it every few days. She also heard a little about the method. After trying the seasoning ratio a few more times, she should be able to make a similar taste.

Three or four pieces of fish are packed into a bag, priced at 20 cents. 20 cents can buy a few White Rabbit milk candies and some biscuits and crispy candies. For a family that can afford snacks, it is not expensive.

A pack of crispy fish fillets weighs about 20 grams, and one pound of fish can make more than 20 packs. Three thousand pounds of fish here can make about 60,000 packs, which means it costs more than 6,000 yuan.

Originally, these fish could only be sold for about 1,800 yuan, but if the method was changed, the price could be doubled. This is the opportunity brought by the problem.

Of course, costs must be deducted, and the specific amount depends on the actual operation.

Jiang Wanyue couldn't wait to implement it.

But she was too tired.

She yawned and said, "Let's talk about it at the meeting tomorrow morning. I still have to sort out the accounts. I'm going to go back and lie down for a while. I can't bear it anymore."

She walked back with her legs shaking.

Sure enough, the meal at home was already prepared.

A kerosene lamp was lit in the room, and Song Huaizhi was sitting next to a sack, reading a book.

When she was unloading the goods just now, she asked Lu Chengyuan to help send the sacks home. She didn't expect that Huaizhi had discovered a treasure trove of knowledge.

While eating, she asked, "Is this book good?"

Song Huaizhi nodded excitedly: "This popular science book about insects is so interesting. It turns out that the insects we see every day have all kinds of names. Their world is so wonderful."

Song Yunying was also holding a book and reading: "This picture book is really good."

Jiang Wanyue laughed: "Is it time to study? Elder Lu and Elder Li should be waiting for you."

The two children woke up as if from a dream, and quickly took their notebooks and pens and ran out the door.

Jiang Wanyue ate her meal, tidied the house, counted the supplies, hugged Huazi, and fell asleep.

She went to bed early at night and got up early the next day. She took the time to make a hearty breakfast, a bowl of noodles with egg and meat sauce for each person, plus a meat bun she brought back from the provincial capital. After the family gathered around the table to eat, they went about their own business. Song Huaizhi went to school, Song Yunying stayed at home reading, Song Huazhi crawled in the yard of Song Laosan next door, and Jiang Wanyue went to the brigade headquarters.

When she arrived, Zhao Xiangbei and Lin Jin had already arrived.

The three of them sat down around the desk.

Jiang Wanyue reported the bill first: "Yesterday I asked the person who dug the pit for 500 yuan in compensation. I spent 193 yuan on buying fish fry and water tanks, and 162 yuan on travel expenses. This is the remaining money. Please collect the bill."

Zhao Xiangbei held the notebook in his left hand and the abacus with his right hand, and started calculating.

The machinery factory received 2,750 yuan for a batch of fish, 500 yuan for compensation, 700 yuan for buying an incubator, and 355 yuan for Jiang Wanyue. There was also 150 yuan for transporting the fish, 9 yuan for accommodation, meals and transportation in the provincial capital, 36 yuan for buying quicklime for the fish pond, 12 yuan for the villagers' labor, and 29 yuan for diesel... After all, there was 1,900 yuan left in the account.

Zhao Xiangbei raised his head and said, "Now there are more than 10,000 fish fry. Although the fish fry have a small appetite, they are in large numbers. Wheat bran and rice bran can only sustain them for two days at most, but the villagers in our brigade no longer have these. What should we do? Should we only feed the fish grass?"

"If they only eat fish grass, they will grow too slowly. The first batch of fry will be released in November, and it would be best if they can be marketed in April next year." Jiang Wanyue thought for a moment and said, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and the tofu shop will also be open for business. Lin Jin, go talk to the person in charge of the tofu shop and buy all the bean dregs as fish food. Calculate whether the amount of bean dregs is enough."

Lin Jin nodded and wrote this down in his notebook.

"We have to set aside money for fish food, let's set aside 500 yuan." Jiang Wanyue tapped the table with her fingers and continued, "Next, the most important thing is to build a seedling collection pond. The cost is about 600 to 800 yuan. Xiangbei, you go and do it. It would be best if it can be completed within a week."

Zhao Xiangbei was surprised: "Is it so urgent? We don't have much money in our account. Why don't we wait until the next payment comes in before repairing it?"

Jiang Wanyue shook her head: "The fish fry incubator has been purchased. The sooner it is put into use, the sooner we can benefit. Otherwise, when the fish in the pond grow up, we won't be able to catch up here. We will have to go to the province to buy fish fry, which will waste money and delay things."

She took out a drawing and said, "This time when I buy fish fry, I asked the person in charge over there for the drawing. Just follow this."

Zhao Xiangbei nodded: "Okay, I will gather all the people today, buy the materials, and start construction tomorrow."

Jiang Wanyue turned her head and looked outside the door: "Lu Chengyuan, come in for a moment."

Lu Chengyuan was mixing fish food. When he heard her voice, he came in immediately: "Deputy Party Secretary, what's the matter?"

"Our fishery is going to research new products, and we need to fry them. Your task now is to take some money and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy five of the largest iron pans, and then go to the grain station to buy oil and various seasonings. You have to buy everything, and buy as much as possible." Jiang Wanyue instructed, "We have a cart in our fishery, so you can push it."

Zhao Xiangbei was unsure: "How much?"

"About a hundred." Jiang Wanyue said, "We still have to taste it, so I guess some of it will be wasted."

Zhao Xiangbei's heart felt like it was bleeding, so he took out a hundred dollars and handed it over.

As soon as the meeting was over, I walked out and saw Xiang Lingxiao, the director of the bamboo weaving factory, waiting at the door.
