Hello 1983

Sour pulp is a general term for children. It refers to those plants whose leaves or stems are edible and taste sour when chewed. There are several common ones in the mountains.

When I was thirsty when I entered the mountain, I chewed some sour pulp, and the sour water immediately gushed out of my mouth, so I didn't feel so thirsty.

In ancient times, expecting plums to quench thirst, and children chewing physalis to quench thirst, the reason is similar.

Lao Guo thought about it for a while, and then slapped his thigh fiercely: "This sour pulp may be the most critical part of monkey wine, just like the reason why beer needs to be added with hops!"

Seeing Lao Guo's current appearance, excited like a child, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but secretly nodded: If you are crazy, you will be successful, maybe you can really make him tinker with imitation monkey wine.

Speaking of it, monkeys are actually omnivores, and the shoots and grasses of plants are also their main food.

Throughout the year, how can there be so many wild fruits for you to eat?

This physalis should also be a plant that monkeys like to eat.

"Fourth and fifth, take me to find out what kind of Physalis is what?" Lao Guo pulled the two little girls and left.

"Grandpa Guo, it's this kind of grass. It's found everywhere." Shanxing bent down and picked up a grass stalk from the grass. It has three small leaves in an inverted heart shape, which is the most common trifoliate chrysanthemum. sorrel.

Lao Guo laughed twice, patted his forehead, and squatted there to start picking Physalis.

He had a feeling in his heart that this discovery must be something extraordinary, and it might be a key to making monkey wine.

Chapter 293 Stinky Tofu and Fermented Bean Curd

For Monkey Wine, Liu Qingshan is also looking forward to it, because it is related to whether he can establish a fruit wine factory in the future.

There is a tradition of making mountain wine locally, and there are some berry wines such as blackcurrant wine, but they are all high-end products.

If the monkey wine can be imitated, then there will be a high-end competitive product, so that it can stand in the market competition.

There is also an issue of confidentiality of the formula involved, so he has already explained it to Master Guo, and even the fourth and fifth children who often follow along, told them not to talk nonsense.

Just like the last discovered physalis, it may be the key, and we must not disclose it to others.

The facts were similar to what Lao Guo and Liu Qingshan expected: out of the three jars of monkey wine left, only one jar was left.

This jar, at the beginning of brewing, added the puree monkey wine, and added different wild fruits along the way, and finally added Physalis to shape it.

In the other two altars, Physalis was not added in the end, and they were all broken.

From this, they also preliminarily sorted out a formula and process. As for the specific effect, they can only wait for the next year to carry out large-scale practice.

By this month, most of the wild fruits are out of season, and there are no raw materials, so what to use to make wine?

Lao Guo, who had nothing to do, gathered the villagers to brew a lot of mountain wine in his own big tank, and sealed it up, so that he could drink it during the Chinese New Year.

The matter of monkey wine has come to an end for the time being, and it will take time to verify it slowly.

The only remaining jar was also carefully sealed by Lao Guo. Liu Qingshan wanted to taste it several times to see if it was different from the original one, but was rejected in the end.

And he didn't have time to stare at Monkey Wine, because Zheng Hongqi called and told him to go to the county town to attend the opening ceremony of the carrot juice factory.

Zheng Hongqi also said on the phone that the annual Canton Fair and the Autumn Fair will start again.

As a new star at the Canton Fair last year, Bishui County is preparing to do a big job at the Canton Fair this year.

Liu Qingshan, who is known as the Little Lucky Star of Bishui County, is of course also invited, and must participate.

"Brother Zheng, I'm also very busy."

Liu Qingshan decided to talk about conditions. If it was Zheng Hongqi's personal matter, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

Since this matter is a business matter, then you can't agree to it so heartily, you have to get some benefits anyway, it's not too early if you don't have any benefits.

Of course Zheng Hongqi also understood the reason, and laughed and scolded on the phone: "Here is a piece of stinky tofu for you, and you really will serve it. The county has already held a meeting to study it. You can bring some private goods. Anyway, the situation is clear to you. , do you like to go or not."

Bring private goods, this is good, you must go!

Liu Qingshan agreed without hesitation. It is not easy for individuals to get involved in such a big scene as the Canton Fair. This kind of opportunity must be seized.

This trip will take at least ten and a half months. Liu Qingshan explained to his family and the village that the rear must be safe.

Fortunately, there are no major issues now, and everything is in order. Apart from harvesting a small amount of mountain products, the rest of the cooperative is to clean up the autumn children. Now there are only two main crops, carrots and rice.

The wild vegetable factory is also producing as usual, and Yang Hongying is in charge, so Liu Qingshan can rest assured.

Since he was allowed to carry private goods this time, Liu Qingshan set his target on these wild vegetables.

Although it can be exported to the island country, wouldn't it be better if it could be sold at a higher price?

So he brought enough samples from the wild vegetable factory, and drove to the county that afternoon.

After reporting to the county guest house, Liu Qingshan met Cui Minhao and his partners from South Korea. Of course, the translator, Xia Lexie, Uncle Xia was also indispensable.

After shaking hands affectionately, Cui Minhao chatted with Liu Qingshan:

"Mr. Liu, the morels shipped back last time are very popular, but the quantity is too small. I don't know when we can cooperate again?"

Liu Qingshan spread his hands: "I can't do anything, everything will take time."

After he finished speaking, he thought about it again, and then said: "Besides, the remaining batch of morel mushrooms was bought by friends in France, and the price was higher than what you offered. Mr. Cui, you are too stingy. Ha ha!"

Cui Minhao also laughed along with him for a while, he had been thinking about the remaining batch of goods in Liu Qingshan's hands, so he had already inquired and found out that Liu Qingshan was indeed not lying.

After laughing for a while, Cui Minhao nodded: "To express my apology, next time we place an order, we will raise the price to the same standard."

"I can feel your sincerity. This time, I will bring a small amount of morels to the Canton Fair to test the waters. If the price is not satisfactory, I will choose to cooperate with Mr. Cui."

In the autumn season, some morel mushrooms were harvested, mainly from Hai Dagui, and the total was only four to five tons. Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry to sell.

Cui Minhao was overjoyed when he heard that: "Mr. Liu, then sell it to us directly, and the price can be increased by another ten percent."

The morels they shipped back last time were very popular, and they made a fortune, but the quantity was too small, otherwise they must have made a lot of money.

"Don't worry, I still need these morels to support the scene at the Canton Fair."

Liu Qingshan waved his hand, temporarily rejecting Cui Minhao's proposal, the morel now is the emperor's daughter who is not worried about marrying, of course there is no rush.

"Well, if Mr. Liu wants to make a move, please contact me first."

Cui Minhao couldn't help it either, he knew Liu Qingshan's abilities, so he didn't treat Liu Qingshan as an ordinary young man.

After talking about the business, Cui Minhao enthusiastically invited Liu Qingshan to discuss a game. After he lost last time, he went back and thought about it for a while, feeling that his chess skills had improved again.

Liu Qingshan looked at his watch: "Dinner is coming soon, let's eat first, I happen to have a dinner, if Mr. Cui is interested, you can go together."

"It's better to be respectful than obedient." Cui Minhao knew that Liu Qingshan really regarded him as a friend for such a personal invitation, so of course he would not refuse.

Blind Huanxi next to him was also anxious: "As a qualified translator, I must also participate!"

Liu Qingshan looked at this and couldn't help thinking: If you are qualified, then there is no one who is unqualified.

So Cui Minhao went to the president to inform him, and together with Xiao Huanxi, he followed Liu Qingshan out of the guest house.

The person in charge of saving the bureau is Da Lao Li, but it is not him who treats the guests, but Director Dou of the fermented bean curd factory in the county.

As for the reason for the treat, Liu Qingshan also had some guesses, this is not to participate in the Canton Fair.

When they arrived at the restaurant, almost all the people came, they were all old friends, they were taken aback when they saw that Liu Qingshan brought the foreign businessmen here.

"Mr. Cui is here as a friend."

Liu Qingshan was worried that everyone would be restrained, so he quickly explained.

Everyone immediately relaxed and got up to say hello. Cui Minhao can basically communicate with people in Mandarin, and the joyful person next to him is just a decoration.

Seeing the beer and liquor on the table, he immediately smiled: "It's getting hot, let's quench your thirst with a glass of beer first!"

He was talking about a glass, but actually poured a bottle directly. After drinking, he hiccupped: "It's cool!"

Liu Qingshan actually likes this Uncle Xia quite a bit, this is the way to truly enjoy life.

Then I heard Xia Huanhuan yelled happily: "Haha, have another bottle!"

This hasn't been served yet, are you still drinking?

But Xia Huanxi was holding a bottle cap in his hand, dancing and yelling: "I won the lottery, let's have another bottle."

It turned out to be this, Liu Qingshan took a look at the bottle cap, and then looked at Lao Yuan from the brewery: "It's already been made, how is the effect?"

Old Yuan was already beaming, and he was waiting for him to ask: "Although summer is over now, the sales volume has doubled compared to summer, haha, brother Qingshan, you are the best!"

Liu Qingshan also smiled, and said with a bit of teasing: "Brother Yuan, what about the beer you promised, and the beer is free for life, but I haven't seen a bottle yet."

"Hey, blame me, blame me, I'm so busy, I'll call a car to pull a few boxes for you later." Lao Yuan repeatedly apologized.

Everyone also started to bury him, and the eldest brother Li laughed and scolded: "He is just a donkey, don't give him any advice in the future!"

Lao Yuan quit immediately: "Old Li, you are calling Brother Qingshan a donkey!"

Everyone laughed, even Cui Minhao felt very happy: This is the atmosphere of friends gathering.

At this time, the proprietor of the dinner, Director Dou of the fermented bean curd factory finally interjected. He is a tall middle-aged man, and he spoke with a bit of pride:

"Brother Qingshan, you can also give us some advice for the fermented bean curd factory. Don't worry, we will definitely not be so picky and search like Lao Yuan, and we will not do what we promised. When the time comes, the products of our fermented bean curd factory will be enough. !"

Liu Qingshan hadn't said anything yet, but Xia Huanxie cheered:

"From the fermented bean curd factory, I have eaten stinky tofu from your factory. It's stinky. It's really stinky, but it smells really stinky and tastes really delicious. I have to get two pieces to try it later!"

So, Liu Qingshan blinked and pretended to slap his nose twice:

"Brother Dou, forget it, I really don't eat stinky tofu!"

Everyone laughed again, and Director Dou also quickly explained: "I don't eat stinky tofu, there is also fermented bean curd, which is not smelly at all."

Their side is rich in soybeans, so the tofu they make is excellent. The main raw material of fermented bean curd is tofu.

Moreover, Director Dou also introduced that the fermented bean curd they produce has added more than a dozen local medicinal materials on the basis of the original fermented bean curd formula.

It tastes like a medicine with a unique taste and a long aftertaste. It is still a superior product. This time I am going to test the water at the Canton Fair to see if I can export it to earn foreign exchange.

While chatting and laughing, the dishes came up one after another, and Director Dou really brought up a small jar of fermented bean curd.

Hearing them study fermented bean curd for half a day just now, Cui Minhao was also a little curious. He didn't know what kind of food it was. He still admired the countless Chinese food.

So he picked up a piece and put it on the plate in front of him. It was ruddy in color and looked pretty good.

I picked up a small piece with chopsticks, put it in my mouth, and tasted it carefully, the facial features on Cui Minhao's face were all shifted.

What does it taste like!

He wanted to spit it out, but felt it was really impolite, so he could only hold it in his mouth with a sad face, as if he had drunk pearl, emerald, and white jade soup.

The blind happy next to him yelled in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say there is stinky tofu, quickly bring a jar and try it, foreign guests like to eat this!"

Cui Minhao glared at him: You are the one who likes to eat, and your whole family likes to eat.

Chapter 294 The Boat of Friendship Turns Over

Seeing Cui Minhao's reaction, Director Dou was quite disappointed: It seems that people from different countries have different tastes, so it may be difficult to export this fermented bean curd.

Liu Qingshan also tried fermented bean curd, it felt pretty good, there was no too much smell, if it was Qingfang, it would be stinky tofu, those who don't like it, it is really easy to vomit when they eat it for the first time.

Thinking about future generations, Latiao and Laoganma are all popular abroad. Liu Qingshan thinks that fermented bean curd should be acceptable to foreigners as a side dish.

Moreover, there are so many Chinese abroad, they should be more accustomed to eating this.

For example, when eating bread, put some fermented bean curd on it, and it tastes good. He used to go to high school, and most of the time he ate steamed buns in the cafeteria, he liked to eat with fermented bean curd.

It is also good when mixing noodles.

Of course, these refer to red square, that is, red fermented bean curd, not stinky tofu.

I promised Director Dou that at the Canton Fair, I would definitely help him sell, and naturally I had a very pleasant meal.

Except for Cui Minhao who was a little uncomfortable with eating fermented bean curd at the beginning, most of the rest of the time, he was still very happy and tasted a lot of novel foods.

Especially the nine-turn large intestine, which he applauded again and again.

That's right, in South Korea, the price of meat is high, so it's not wrong to eat offal or something.

The next day, the opening ceremony of the carrot juice factory started grandly.

Liu Qingshan followed him to the factory located outside the east gate of the county seat. The first thing that caught his eye was the big sign with the name of the factory: Jinyang Food Co., Ltd.

"I don't know what's so special about this name?" Liu Qingshan asked casually as he looked at the signboard marked in the two languages.

Not to mention, there is really something to talk about here, just listen to Cui Minhao talking eloquently: "Carrot is also called Jinsun, and our president is also named Jin."

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Carrots are quite nutritious, try it later, how does the produced carrot juice taste?"

At the gate, there are large trucks coming in and out from time to time, and carrots are transported in the trucks.
