Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

Zhong Meihui prepared the dowry for her fifth sister and went back to the studio in the crooked building. Since Luo Zhihao, his wife and Li Zijia returned to their hometown, there were only three people in the studio, Chen Xiaoli, Yun Shanshan and Nie Fei, but they faced The workload is more than before.

When both groups are here, everyone can help each other. In addition to designing costumes, Xing Yiwen can also help arrange the shooting scene. When Yingzi is here, she can also fill in part of the copywriting work.

But now that everyone has gone to different cities, there are only three people left in the main studio and it cannot operate at all. During the busiest time, the three of them live on the fourth floor of Zhong Meihui’s family home, saving time on the road for work.

But every video shooting is not easy, and the post-production alone takes a lot of time.

Yun Shanshan had to advertise online and hire three or four employees to take care of the daily operations of the studio and the customer service of the online store, which finally stabilized their lives for the time being.

"Sister Meihui, the green tea sales are booming now. I made a comparison chart and found that the repurchase rate of our old customers is as high as 90%. This kind of performance is definitely not found in other online stores."

Yun Shanshan reported the good news to Zhong Meihui that this year there are 6000 kilograms of green tea orders. As long as the goods are shipped smoothly, the income alone will be 36, and they can also increase revenue and reduce expenditure by selling it together with other things.

"You recruit another copywriter and an art director from the Internet, and they will be included in your group. Now these employees can only help with packaging and shipping, and do complicated routine work, but they will not be able to help you complete the video. In the long run, It’s still hard to function.”

Zhong Meihui checked everyone's work progress and felt that Yun Shanshan and others had maximized their potential, but one person could not always maintain a tight state. If she could not find someone to share her work, they would This group of people will definitely collapse.

"I will hurry up to recruit people, Sister Meihui. In the next video, I want to film making rice dumplings. Maybe I can take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to sell some rice dumplings on the website, as long as we make all the rice dumplings into vacuums. The packaging can be stored for at least half a month, and Sister Meihui, you are rarely in Lu County. If you shoot this video in person, the effect will definitely be better."

Yun Shanshan's video plans have always been based on real seasons. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, making rice dumplings is the best choice.

And she has already written down the details of the shots. As long as she follows this process, she can make a good video.

"Okay, then I will shoot this video myself." Zhong Meihui hasn't shot a video by herself for a long time, so she just took this opportunity to practice her skills to avoid being rusty.

"Then I will notify everyone immediately to prepare." Yun Shanshan ran out excitedly and told Nie Fei the good news. When he learned that he could film his boss, Nie Fei was also very excited and checked the necessary lenses several times. .

Zhong Meihui and Yun Shanshan came to the small courtyard in the mountains. A few days ago, Yun Shanshan had bought a series of ingredients such as red beans, pork, salted egg yolks, glutinous rice and zongzi leaves, and they were ready to start at any time.

"We have to start by picking the reed leaves, boil the reed leaves in light salt water, dry them, and then make the rice dumplings."

Zhong Meihui plans to make these videos into a series, so she does not want to add anything industrialized, and all must be made using purely natural methods.

The reed leaves Zhong Meihui asked for were not difficult to find. There were many near the river, and there were also chopstick leaves in the mountains, which were also good materials for making rice dumplings.

Zhong Meihui changed into a farmer's girl's clothes and went into the mountains. She was going to make a video about Dragon Boat Festival customs. In addition to preparing rice dumpling leaves, she also had to pick mugwort and calamus on the mountain and hang them up. At the entrance of the gate, it has the effect of removing evil spirits and getting rid of viruses and mosquitoes.

Zhong Meihui picked everything with her hands. She threw the rice dumpling leaves into boiling water, added a little salt, and slowly sterilized them.

While waiting, she made realgar wine with realgar and white wine, and sprinkled it at the door and in the yard, which also had the effect of warding off ghosts and killing poisons.

After all this is done, the rice dumpling leaves are cooked and just ready to be dried in the yard.

"Okay, stuck!" Nie Fei shouted, quite like a director. In order to improve work efficiency, his shooting methods were all unit-based, instead of shooting continuously in sequence. This feeling made Zhong Meihui very uncomfortable. .

"There are many of us today, so we are not in a hurry. We should continue to turn on the cameras in the same order as before, so that we can capture the best pictures."

Zhong Meihui knew that Nie Fei was anxious, but this Dragon Boat Festival video was the highlight of Zhong Meihui's preparations. The quality had to be much higher than usual, and it had to be recorded by observation as in the beginning.

"I'm sorry, Sister Meihui, I was too impatient." Nie Fei quickly apologized to Zhong Meihui. Usually, they had few people and heavy tasks, so they didn't want to use quick methods and couldn't complete the target at all.

Nie Fei tried his best to slow down, and Zhong Meihui was getting better. She planned to make seven kinds of rice dumplings, some of which were sweet rice dumplings based on candied dates and bean paste, and the other were salty rice dumplings based on salted egg yolk and pickled pork.

Zhong Meihui picked a few roses, mashed them into pieces, added sugar, and slowly simmered them in a small pot to make rose sauce. She then sifted the adzuki beans to make bean paste, cut off the fat, and added sugar. , made into sugar suet.

Mix these things together to prepare the best-tasting bean paste rice dumplings.

Yu Shanshan and Chen Xiaoli nodded repeatedly. They both stood on the side of sweet rice dumplings and sneered at the salty rice dumplings with pork added.

Zhong Meihui took off a few rice dumpling leaves, put the glutinous rice and bean paste filling into them, and added a piece of sugar suet in the middle of the bean paste. When the rice dumplings are cooked, the sugar suet will melt immediately and penetrate into the surrounding glutinous rice, making the rice dumplings more delicious. aroma.

Another type of sweet rice dumpling is relatively simple. Just stuff the soaked red beans and candied dates into the rice dumpling leaves to make candied red bean rice dumplings.

Yun Shanshan watched by the camera and felt that Zhong Meihui was really capable. One person could wrap dozens of rice dumplings in a blink of an eye and tie them tightly with ropes of different colors as a sign of what kind of filling the rice dumplings were.

Then Zhong Meihui marinated the pork with soy sauce, white wine, and dark soy sauce, and then peeled the salted egg yolk out of the duck egg. There was a piece of meat and a salted egg yolk in each rice dumpling to make salted egg yolk fresh meat rice dumplings.

Zhong Meihui felt that marinated pork goes well with many ingredients. Soon, she made prunes, vegetables and fresh meat rice dumplings, and chestnut fresh meat rice dumplings, a total of seven kinds of rice dumplings.

All these processes were filmed on video. Although Zhong Meihui has not yet seen the final film, she can feel that this time the rice dumplings will be a big hit just from these tidbits.
