The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside
Chapter 708 Selling Medicine
On the way to the county town, Zhou Ziwen also met people from several other production teams who were repairing the road.
Several production teams were each responsible for a section of the road, and their progress was similar.
After walking and stopping a lot, although it took some time, Zhou Ziwen still arrived at the county town quickly.
After arriving in the county town, Zhou Ziwen went to the food station first.
The food station is a place in the county town that specializes in supplying meat and other foods. In those days, the only way to buy meat was here.
Of course, you can also go to the black market, but the meat on the black market is more expensive.
He pushed his bicycle and walked into the door of the food station.
The food station was bustling with people queuing up to buy meat.
Zhou Ziwen also joined the queue, observing the prices of various meats while waiting.
"Is there fresh pork today?" Zhou Ziwen asked the staff in front.
The staff member glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, today's pork is very fresh, just slaughtered this morning."
"Then give me three pounds of pork belly and two pounds of minced pork."
Zhou Ziwen handed over the money and tickets.
The pork belly can be used to make braised pork, the pork belly can be used to make the fish-flavored shredded pork that Chen Qiaoyi likes, and the rest can be stir-fried into twice-cooked pork.
The staff member glanced at Zhou Ziwen, quickly weighed the meat, and handed it to Zhou Ziwen.
Zhou Ziwen put the meat on his bicycle and then pushed it to the pharmacy in the county town.
There are two places to buy medicinal materials, one is the supply and marketing cooperative collection point, and the other is the pharmacy.
In fact, if Zhou Ziwen is willing, he can sell it to the county hospital.
However, the county hospital has its own purchasing channels, and if you want to sell to them, you have to find someone to help you.
Zhou Ziwen was unwilling to do favors, so he decided to go to the pharmacy first.
He had some understanding of the prices at the supply and marketing cooperative's purchasing station, and the price they offered was not high.
He wanted to compare and see which price was higher.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the pharmacy, there were several villagers selling medicinal herbs in the pharmacy.
This situation is still very common in pharmacies.
They were holding some dried herbs in their hands and bargaining with the pharmacy staff.
Zhou Ziwen took a quick look and found that they were all common herbs, and the quality was not very good, far worse than what he brought.
"Hello comrade, I have some medicinal herbs that I want to sell."
When it was Zhou Ziwen's turn, he said to the staff.
The staff member looked up at him and said, "Take out the herbs. I'll check their quality first."
Zhou Ziwen placed the herbs on the counter, and the staff began to check them one by one, nodding from time to time, obviously satisfied with the quality of the herbs.
"These herbs are of good quality. I'll give you 1.5 yuan for Astragalus, 2.5 yuan for Angelica, 2.2 yuan for White Peony, and 1.8 yuan for Chuanxiong..."
The staff quoted prices one by one.
Zhou Ziwen calculated in his mind and found that the price was quite good, at least much higher than the price at the supply and marketing cooperative purchasing station, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with the price you said."
"You have 25 jin of herbs in total, 3 jin of Astragalus, jin of Angelica, jin of White Peony, jin of Chuanxiong..."
"According to the price we just agreed on, the total is sixty-four dollars and eighty-two cents." The pharmacy staff said as he took out a stack of bills and reported the details.
Zhou Ziwen took the money, counted it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, your price is very fair."
The pharmacy staff responded with a smile: "Comrade, your herbs are of good quality. If you have more herbs in the future, you can come and sell them to us."
"Okay, no problem." Zhou Ziwen agreed with a smile.
The prices in the pharmacy are really good, and if he really wants to sell it in the future, he plans to do it here.
After coming out of the pharmacy, Zhou Ziwen put the money in his pocket and was in a very good mood.
Including the musk deer meat he sold on the black market a few days ago, he made more than a hundred yuan in just a few days.
Adding the old turtle I sold last time and buying a sewing machine, I have over a hundred left, which adds up to over two hundred.
“It seems that making money is quite easy!”
Zhou Ziwen patted his trouser pockets and pushed his bicycle to go home.
He still has a lot of medicinal herbs at home, and what he is selling today is only a small part, which is used to test the waters.
According to the prices in the pharmacy, his medicinal materials can be sold for six or seven hundred yuan without any problem.
This is the result of him not taking into account those precious medicinal materials.
He planned to keep the precious medicinal materials, whether for his own use or to sell them later, there was no need to rush.
As for medicinal materials, as long as they are handled well, they can be stored for a few years without any problem.
……
He walked all the way home, and by the time he got home, it was almost noon.
Zhou Ziwen took the meat he bought to the kitchen and started processing it.
Zhou Ziwen placed the pork belly and pork tenderloin on the chopping board, preparing to make several dishes according to the plan.
He planned to use the pork belly to make braised pork, a dish with bright red color and mellow taste, which he and his two sisters all loved.
He first cut the pork belly into medium-sized pieces, then heated the pan, poured in a small amount of oil, put the cut pieces of meat into the pan and stir-fried them until the surface of the meat turned golden brown.
Then, he added some white sugar and slowly fried it over low heat to bring out the sugar color. He then added appropriate amounts of soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices, star anise and water, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat.
Cut the lean meat from the front chuck and prepare to make fish-flavored shredded pork.
The key to this dish is to prepare the fish-flavored seasoning in advance. He cuts the onion, ginger, and garlic, puts them into a bowl together with the pickled peppers, and then adds soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and starch to make fish-flavored sauce.
After the braised pork was ready, Zhou Ziwen started to make shredded pork with fish flavor.
Pour a proper amount of oil into the pot, and when the oil temperature rises, he pours the shredded pork in, stir-fryes quickly until it changes color, then removes it and sets it aside.
Leave a little oil in the pot, add the prepared fish-flavored sauce, cook until thick, then pour the fried shredded pork back into the pot, stir-fry quickly so that the shredded pork is evenly coated with the fish-flavored sauce, finally sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
As for the remaining meat, Zhou Ziwen planned to make a classic dish of twice-cooked pork. Just now, when he was making the braised pork, another pot was already cooking meat.
He took out the cooked meat, cut it into thin slices, and marinated it with cooking wine, soy sauce and a little starch. Then he heated the pan, poured in oil, and stir-fried the marinated meat slices until they curled slightly and took on the shape of a "lantern nest".
Then, he added chopped green peppers and garlic sprouts, and stir-fried them with the meat slices. Finally, he added bean paste and sweet noodle sauce, stir-fried until the oil turned red, then added a little soy sauce and sugar, stir-fried evenly and served.
The kitchen was filled with fragrance as Zhou Ziwen served the dishes one by one. The richness of the braised pork, the freshness of the shredded pork with fish flavor, and the slight spiciness of the twice-cooked pork made every dish mouth-watering.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi returned home and were attracted by the fragrance as soon as they entered the door.
"Brother Ziwen, what delicious food did you make?" Chen Qiaoyi ran into the kitchen impatiently and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the dishes on the table.
"Wow, braised pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, and twice-cooked pork! They are all my favorites. Brother Ziwen, you are so nice!" Chen Qiaoyi jumped up excitedly.
Chen Shiying also smiled and praised: "Ziwen, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."
Zhou Ziwen took off his apron and responded with a smile: "It's OK as long as you like it. Go wash your hands. We are ready to eat."
The three of them sat around the dining table, enjoying the lunch that Zhou Ziwen had carefully prepared.
Today's dishes were all meat dishes. The two sisters ate a lot, and the rest all went into Zhou Ziwen's stomach.
In the end, all three of them were full.
