The first batch of fish fry released into Xiaojing Fishery were the largest fry released in November, which took six months to be marketed.
That is to say, before April, Xiaojing Brigade Fishery will face the dilemma of having no fish.
At that time, we can only go to the fishery in the provincial capital to buy fish. The journey is long and difficult, and it will be a huge expense.
Since the problem of raw materials cannot be solved, can we change our thinking?
Crispy fish fillets are so popular in the market, so snacks with similar flavors made with other ingredients should not be much different.
A smile slowly appeared on Jiang Wanyue's lips.
Lin Jin looked at her worriedly for a while, then he smiled, knowing that the matter was almost resolved, and then he said, "Just tell me what to do next."
"We'll collect soybeans." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "For the time being, we'll collect more than a thousand kilograms at the supply and marketing cooperative's price. In addition, we'll hire two more people to specialize in making new products."
In the past, tofu occupied half of the spicy snacks.
The main product of the fish farm is fish snacks, so they mix tofu and fish meat together to make fish tofu, which I think will do well in the market.
But nothing can be said for sure, so we can only make a part of it for the time being to test the waters. If it works, we will increase the output later.
Lin Jin immediately went to work.
After the recruitment news was released, people came for interviews immediately, because one of the requirements was to be able to make tofu and cook, and most women met this requirement.
Jiang Wanyue did not specifically consider the skill of making tofu, because this skill has been passed down from ancestors and is very mature. She mainly asked Duan Jing to get several kinds of seasonings for crispy fish fillets, and let the interviewees taste them one by one and point out the differences. Finally, she chose two women with the most sensitive tastes, because the final taste of the fish tofu depends on these two women's constant exploration. If their taste is not sensitive, they cannot do this job at all.
After recruiting people, Jiang Wanyue redivided the work content.
Mr. Lu and Mr. Li are mainly responsible for various chores in the warehouse.
The two elderly people, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Li, are mainly responsible for mixing fish food. Because the fish fry are too small, the fish grass has to be chopped up. This job is not easy and has to be done from morning to night.
Duan Jing is responsible for everyone's meals, office records, and is the team leader for the research and development of new product flavors.
Lu Chengyuan withdrew from the trivial matters and was mainly responsible for the fish fry incubator. As spring was about to arrive, the fish eggs he hatched were still too few.
Li Gaoshan and Li Yiliang from the Li family, as well as Li Gaoshan's wife, and the Wang couple, these five people were mainly responsible for cutting grass for fish.
When people are needed to make crispy fish fillets, all these people put down what they are doing and make the crispy fish fillets first.
As for the fish tofu, Jiang Wanyue came up with the idea and left the specific details to the two women to study. Duan Jing also put forward some of her own opinions based on the taste of the crispy fish slices.
Three days passed in a flash while I was busy.
Lin Jin took the second batch of goods and drove to the city department store to deliver the goods and settle the bill.
That night, he brought back 3,600 yuan. Together with the money Zhao Xiangbei had paid before, the fishery now had a total of more than 6,600 yuan.
After deducting the 2,000 yuan budget for repairing the factory building and spending a few hundred yuan on purchasing soybeans and other miscellaneous items, there was still 4,000 yuan left.
Zhao Xiangbei found a dozen male laborers to repair the factory, and they were busy working.
Fish tofu is also under active development.
Today is the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Jiang Wanyue intends to sell this batch of goods before the New Year so that everyone can have a truly good New Year.
Zhao Xiangbei's house is always filled with the strong smell of tofu.
As the saying goes, in the old society, the rich ate meat and the poor ate tofu, but in this era, it is not easy for the poor to eat tofu, and they can usually only eat it during the Chinese New Year.
Tofu is a good thing, but it’s not good for everyone to eat it every day. It’s just like eating fish before. It makes you want to vomit after eating it.
The two new employees, one is Zhang Ma and the other is Wang Ma, both are around 40 years old, and they work quickly and diligently. Every day they make tofu and beat fish paste diligently, making fish tofu in a ratio of three to one, and then boil it in a pot with marinade. They make one pot after another, and after eating so many of them, they all seem to taste the same.
"This is it..." Jiang Wanyue took some time to taste it, and was immediately shocked. "This is the flavor. Hey, this one is also OK. I think we can make these two flavors, one with five-spice flavor and one with spicy flavor, and launch them at the same time to see which one is more popular."
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the boss was satisfied, they were really afraid that they would have to keep trying endlessly. It would be okay to be a little tired, but the main thing was that the tofu would be wasted, which would be a pity.
So everyone started making the fish tofu assembly line.
With the experience of making crispy fish fillets, this time it was much faster. In two days, the third batch of fish tofu was ready.
A total of 1,200 kilograms of soybeans can produce about 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms of tofu, which is then mixed with 400 kilograms of fish paste and stirred continuously to make fish tofu, which is then cut into small pieces.
Assuming that each small bag contains four pieces of fish tofu, these ingredients can produce a total of about 20,000 bags.
Jiang Wanyue held a meeting with everyone to discuss the pricing, and finally decided to sell it for 20 cents a bag, because the portion is larger. Although there are only four pieces of fish tofu, each piece is very thick and solid, and it is full of the flavor of tofu and fish when you bite it in your mouth. You can't stop eating one piece at a time.
Jiang Wanyue went to the commune again to borrow a phone.
First, I called the county department store and said, "Hello, I am the person in charge of Xiaojing Fishery. I would like to ask your Section Chief Zhou to answer the phone."
Section Chief Zhou was worried. The first batch of 10,000 packages of crispy fish slices and the second batch of 15,000 packages were all sold out. Because they were out of stock, people came to ask him every day and he didn't know how to answer. At this time, this phone call was undoubtedly a life-saving straw. He quickly answered the phone and said, "Ms. Jiang, did you rush out a new batch of goods?"
"I'm sorry, Chief Zhou. We can't make crispy fish slices for the time being because we can't buy fish. However, we have produced a new product." Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "This product is made of a mixture of tofu and fish. It's called fish tofu. It's the same as crispy fish slices. It's 20 cents a pack. I'll sell it to your department store for 18 cents. There are only 20,000 packs of goods now. I can only give 10,000 packs to Chief Zhou. If you don't want it, I'll send all of them to the city department store."
Section Chief Zhou was a little hesitant.
When he heard the word "tofu", he didn't want it anymore, because tofu is cheap and you can buy more than a pound of tofu for one cent. Who would spend two cents to buy a few palm-sized pieces of tofu to eat? Isn't this a waste of money?
However, fish tofu is available in all department stores in the city, so they had no objection.
Another thing is that the crispy fish fillets are indeed selling well. He had rejected Ms. Jiang once at the beginning. If he rejects her again this time, what if the fish tofu is also selling well in the market?
He wanted to agree, but he also had to accept the fact that if this batch of goods did not sell well, he would be criticized by his leader and his original promotion might also be affected.
But if we don’t agree now, this batch of goods will be gone before the New Year.
After much deliberation, Section Chief Zhou decided to take a risk and said, "Okay, I'll take this batch of goods and deliver it as quickly as possible."
Jiang Wanyue finalized Section Chief Zhou and handed the responsibility of contacting the city to Lin Jin.
