Chapter 521 Tofu
“The border battles have continued, and many people have been displaced. There are many refugees in nearby states, prefectures, and counties. These people have left their homes and have no fixed residence. They gather everywhere and are difficult to manage. , and it is easy to cause trouble, so everyone is thinking about how to resettle these refugees."
Zhang Heming said, "I have seen that Magistrate Pei of Jinqiu County has planned to build a vinegar making workshop here, which can not only properly resettle them. There are a large number of refugees, so they have work to do and can earn wages. Moreover, the vinegar brewing workshop is currently in excellent condition and has earned a lot of money for the people."
"I want to draw a gourd like a gourd. , and also built some kind of workshop in Changzhou Fucheng. Firstly, it can resettle the refugees, and secondly, it can also benefit the people. I just thought about it for a long time, but I didn’t have any good ideas. I thought that Madam Xia knew a lot and had craftsmanship. I just wanted to ask Madam Xia if she has any good ideas.”
Let’s build a workshop in Changzhou Fucheng...
"I understand what Master Zhang means."
Xia Mingyue paused and looked at Zhang Heming and Pei Chenghe with a smile, "I just don't know whether you two adults like to eat tofu or not?"
Tofu?
Zhang Heming and Pei Chenghe looked at each other.
"I like it." Zhang Heming nodded first, "I usually like to eat cabbage stewed with tofu or pan-fried tofu. I think it tastes very good."
"I like to eat fried tofu slices, marinate them, or use them for stews." Pei Chenghe also added.
"Ms. Xia suddenly mentioned tofu. Is she planning to open a tofu workshop in Changzhou Fucheng?" Zhang Heming asked.
"Exactly." Great development potential and long-lasting The performance is good, but the brewing time is long, and the waiting time to get a certain profit is too long, which is probably not suitable for the current situation of Cheung Chau Fucheng.”
“On the contrary, it can be done immediately like the tofu workshop. After setting up a tofu workshop, one can establish Arrangement of people immediately will produce immediate results, which can solve the urgent need of Prefect Zhang. When the situation eases a little, it will be too late to plan other long-term and stable livelihoods."
"Yes, Madam Xia said. The words make sense." He Ming agreed, but also raised his own concerns, "It's just that although this tofu workshop can see immediate results as Mrs. Xia said, I have seen grinding tofu before, but only two or three people are enough, will it? Will..."
Is the scale too small?
How can we resettle so many refugees?
“Two or three small workshops are naturally enough, but if this workshop reaches a certain scale, it will be different.”
Xia Mingyue said with a smile, “Changzhou Fucheng has a large territory and a large population. A lot. I made some rough calculations when I was staying in Cheung Chau Fucheng. The amount of tofu required every day is quite large. Our tofu workshop needs to be large enough to produce enough tofu, which can probably cover the entire Changzhou Fucheng. Daily demand. "
"Zhang Zhifu doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell the tofu after making it every day. If the tofu can be sold, it can be made. Fermented bean curd can be sold slowly, stored for a long time, and sold to other places. ”
"Furthermore, the soy milk used to make tofu is made from ground beans. However, this soy milk can not only be used to make tofu, but also whole fried bean skins and whole yuba. After drying, it can also be made into fermented bean curd. Stored for a long time and sold everywhere”
“Even like making. The fresh tofu can be directly stewed into spiced dried tofu or made into vegetarian chicken or something, so as to increase the variety of the tofu shop and make it easier to sell..."
Listen to Xia Mingyue talking here. , the eyes of Zhang Heming and Pei Chenghe became bright and clear.
I never thought that a tofu workshop could produce so many varieties, including those that are sold now and eaten, those that are processed and sold now, and those that are processed and sold slowly over a long period of time... ...
If we calculate it so carefully, the tofu workshop will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money if it makes so many things in the future!
And this tofu workshop will be larger than they imagined and can definitely meet their needs for resettling the refugees!
I came to look for Xia Mingyue today, and I really found the right one!
Zhang Heming was filled with emotion. Even after negotiating with Xia Mingyue to invite him to Changzhou Fucheng to help build a tofu workshop, he was still speechless after coming out of Xia Mingyue's home. "It's really a wise move to look for Madam Xia today!"
"Really." Pei Chenghe raised his chin, "I said Madam Xia is very resourceful and can definitely help us. New ideas.”
Now, not only do I have new ideas, but I also immediately decide what to do. How can I not make people happy?
Especially as the introducer, how could he be so complacent?
Zhang Heming nodded repeatedly and agreed very much with Pei Chenghe's statement, "Indeed, Mrs. Xia is really smart as ice and snow!"
Tofu, bean curd, yuba, dried tofu...
These are all foods they can see and eat on a daily basis, and they know how these things are made, but they don't think of them at all.
Lady Xia, on the other hand, is able to combine and organize everything to form new thoughts and ideas.
I am really ashamed of myself!
Zhang Heming sighed, "Fortunately, Madam Xia is not a man."
"Why do you say that?" Pei Chenghe was confused.
“If Madam Xia were a man, with Madam Xia’s intelligence and ability, she would definitely be a high official in the border areas. Where would there be anything to do with you and me?”
"That's right." Pei Chenghe nodded, but also retorted, "But it's not entirely right. Let's not talk about it. Even if Madam Xia is a feudal official, we little fish and shrimps still have work to do. Even if Madam Xia is really a man. "That's a good thing. I can't use the word "lucky", but I am a little regretful!"
It's a pity that Madam Xia is not a man, so there is such a missing person.
Zhang Heming nodded again without any hesitation, "That's right!"
Indeed, we shouldn't be thankful, but regretful.
If not, they might have a very powerful colleague or reach the top!
Xia Mingyue agreed to Zhang Heming's departure for Changzhou Fucheng the day after tomorrow, and started packing her bags non-stop while informing everyone.
With the precedent of Xia Mingyue going to Changzhou Fucheng last time, everyone at this time regretted that Xia Mingyue had to go out for a long time, but they quickly arranged all the things at hand. appropriate.
After settling the businesses in Jinqiu County, Xia Mingyue began to think about the people she wanted to bring.
Silver tips and green tangerines should be taken away together to facilitate daily life.
Zhuang Cui's side...
Although Zhuang Cui was her job, she was now Dr. Yin's apprentice, so Xia Mingyue planned to ask Dr. Yin what he meant.
