Chapter 482: Cleaning and blanching

They quickly carried out manual separation of the jellyfish, dividing them into jellyfish blood, jellyfish brain, jellyfish head, jellyfish skin, etc. Some baskets and basins on the side were piled up with various parts of the jellyfish.

General villagers who watched the fun also watched with relish, it was their first time seeing how jellyfish were divided.

"After jellyfish is divided like this, is it okay? Is it okay to eat after boiling?"

"Don't know, ask Dongzi, he taught us how to kill." They said without lifting their heads.

"Yaodong seems to know a lot..."

"Indeed, used to see him various lazy, not reliable, now looking at everything he knows."

After people around discussed for a few words, someone walked directly to his side and asked.

Ye Yaodong cut nimbly, saying casually: "Jellyfish brain can be eaten after blanching, can be used to make soup. Jellyfish blood must be boiled, taken out and dried. As for jellyfish head and jellyfish skin, they are poisonous, handling is very troublesome, I don't know, have to send to a specialized processing factory."

This must follow the method of "three alum and two salt". Under the action of salt and alum, fresh jellyfish will dehydrate rapidly and take the toxin out.

At the same time, after soaking in a large amount of salt, jellyfish will also be easier to store, not easy to rot and deteriorate.

Regarding the handling of jellyfish, the use of alum and salt is actually very strict. So, if you are not a professional who knows how to handle jellyfish, it is better not to try it yourself.

Once not handled well, not only can the toxin in the jellyfish not be removed, but in the end, the jellyfish may only have a pool of water left.

Ye Yaodong knows three alum and two salt, but he only knows the fur, specifically how to do it, he doesn't know, he only intends to divide it, pickle it with salt for preservation, and then find someone to take over and send it to the factory.

He saw A Cai watching with relish on the side, and immediately asked him, "Finished calculating? How many jin?"

"Mm, estimated 9206 jin, your knife work is not bad? Did you do it in your previous life?"

"Isn't it, heard that in the previous life was an executioner, one cut one accurate," Ye Yaodong took the knife and gestured at him, "Hurry up and help me ask, still watching here, if it can't be sold, I will drag my family to rely on your house to eat."

"Watch, watch... is it too late?" A Cai muttered, but still helped him run errands, make a few calls.

After coming back, Ye Yaodong and the others were almost finished handling.

Basins and baskets were all divided parts of jellyfish, looking dirty and messy, simply unable to imagine its deliciousness after being on the table.

Villagers around were still watching unfulfilled.

"Finished, all killed?"

"When will you come to collect goods?"

"Can you get money?"

"What's the hurry, people can't run, they haven't finished packing yet? Wait..."

Ye Yaodong also looked at A Cai, "Is there anyone collecting?"

If not, he has to find a way himself.

Just when dividing, his brain had already turned, if A Cai couldn't find someone to collect here, he would open the boat himself and send it to the border of Zhejiang and Fujian, wasting some time and oil money, maybe he could continue to earn there.

"Sigh, called several calls in a row, let friends recommend friends, heard that there are people who can collect, but people have no time to come to our side to collect, saying that the near-sea area at the border of Zhejiang and Fujian is now the jellyfish season, it is the peak season, it is too late to collect there. My friend is not familiar with this thing, dare not collect."

"Damn it, then have to send it yourself?"

"That's what it says."

Ye Yaodong frowned and pondered for a while, "Is it familiar? Is it reliable?"

"Reliable, right? Now aren't they all introduced one after another?"

"Otherwise, I invite your friend to run with me? I calculate the wage for him, anyway, it is the person he knows."

A Cai thought for a while and said: "I am not a thing to pass words between you, otherwise I give you the phone, you talk yourself, my friend is reliable, he is from our town."

"Fine."

Having a reliable person to follow is stronger than him going alone.

A Cai opened his broken notebook, on which a bunch of phone numbers and names were written crookedly, he copied a string of numbers, and then tore the paper and handed it to him.

"You just call this phone, after it gets through, let people pass words to call Chen Jiani to answer the phone."

"Thanks, invite you to drink after I finish selling goods."

"Go, go, anyway, no one here will handle it, otherwise it won't be your turn to earn this money."

"Just happened to encounter, it's a pity not to catch, I'll go first."

During their conversation, Lin Xiuqing and the others had already arranged things neatly, and all were packed, lifted onto the flatbed cart.

So many jellyfish, just their flatbed cart, don't know how many trips to pull, they simply asked everyone to help them send a trip with the flatbed cart, just happened to send it over to settle the account, and most of the baskets were borrowed from fellow villagers, just happened to be able to empty and take away.

Earned their money, just incidentally help a little, fellow villagers have no reason not to be happy.

9000-something jin of jellyfish, although some water was lost when dividing, there was still a weight of several thousand jin there.

The valuable jellyfish blood was placed on their own flatbed cart. When their flatbed cart was pushed in front, a long string followed behind, looking quite long and spectacular.

Some passing villagers didn't know why, still thought it was something, all gathered to look and inquire.

Fellow villagers who earned money explained, but everyone didn't believe that this thing was divided like this, and someone still collected it, straight-tempered people directly questioned and sang decline.

Fellow villagers who earned money just laughed twice, didn't express opinions, they still had to ask Adong for money.

Ye Yaodong listened but was indifferent, this questioning was too normal, who made him the first person to eat crabs in their village?

Anyway, it didn't matter, it was only 90-something yuan, if it could be sold, it could turn several times, small bet big, if it failed, he could still bear this little loss.

After sending all the jellyfish parts to the courtyard, Lin Xiuqing also took out the change to settle the accounts for the fellow villagers, incidentally returning the baskets.

She looked at the baskets, buckets, basins, and pots full in the courtyard, her brows frowned tightly, this almost didn't even have a place to put her feet, only a path for one person to walk in the middle.

"So many, what to do Adong?" She was a bit worried, "Do you really want to send it yourself? Will these spoil on the road?"

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll go buy more salt, pickle the jellyfish head and jellyfish skin to preserve, you boil the jellyfish brain and jellyfish blood separately at home."

The old lady quickly said: "The jellyfish blood we separated earlier, I have already boiled it, do you want to take it out to dry?"

"Yes, spread it on the bamboo plaque to dry, dry it and then collect it."

Ye Yaodong said and pushed the bicycle out from the back door in a hurry, he still had to call that person named Chen Jiani.

After he finished calling and bought things back, Ye Fu also heard that he collected nearly ten thousand jin of jellyfish, and he just came back from the field and quickly put down the hoe and hurried over.

As soon as he saw Ye Yaodong, his face immediately turned black. "What are you tossing about, things people don't collect, you collect back to toss seven toss eight, the whole family follows you to be busy, still have to worry about not being able to sell..."

"Ten thousand jin, not a few hundred or thousand jin, what are you doing? All paved in the courtyard, feet have no place to step, you really send it to the border of Zhejiang and Fujian, this is very far, how much travel expenses? How much can you earn, so toss like this? Honestly put the net is not good..."

"Don't quarrel, I toss mine."

"Do you think I want to manage you? Just spent a large sum of money, don't think about honestly working, just engage in these messy things... blind tossing... if this can't be sold, how much money will be lost?"

"Guess how much money I spent to collect these?"

"How do I know?"

Ye Yaodong smiled proudly, "90-something yuan, don't even need 100 yuan."

Ye Fu wanted to open his mouth to scold, instantly surprised, "Only 90-something yuan?"

"Exactly! Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law's wages haven't been given yet, have to help later, calculate the wage and salt money, almost 100 yuan more."

Hearing that it only took 100 yuan more to collect so many, Ye Fu was not so urgent, but still hard-mouthed, "100 yuan, 100 yuan is also money, what if no one wants it, isn't it smashed in your hands, why do you have to toss this?"

"No money, so have to toss, don't toss where does money come from? If I have money, I won't engage in seven engage in eight, directly lying at home. Today just happened to encounter, felt it was a pity to throw it away, this can also sell money, just no one collects here, wait, I can definitely sell it."

Ye Yaodong carried a large bag of coarse salt into the courtyard. At this time, he remembered that there was no container at home to pickle so many jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins.

Although the weight shrank after division, the quantity was still not small.

"Father, help me buy 20 meters of nylon bags."

He didn't have so many containers to load pickled jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins, could only pave a layer of nylon bags in the basket himself, and then tie the nylon bags tightly after pickling.

Sealed like this and put in a cool place, can be stored for several months, his requirement is not high, as long as it can keep fresh for two days.

"The whole family has to follow you to be busy, don't know what to engage in..." Ye Fu threw down a sentence and turned to help him buy it.

Things tossed by his own son, how can he, the father, help him cover it.

The whole afternoon, the whole family was mobilized by Ye Yaodong, division of labor and cooperation.

He and Ye Fu and two brothers pickled jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins, they rolled the jellyfish directly in the salt, let its surface be wrapped by salt, and then put the salted jellyfish into the basket lined with nylon bags.

Lin Xiuqing and two sisters-in-law boiled jellyfish blood and jellyfish brain on their respective stoves, one stove couldn't boil, several stoves boiled together faster.

Although everyone felt in their hearts that he was tossing there, but who made them take wages, just do whatever he told them to do, anyway it was not them who bore the risk.

Lin Xiuqing is also, but who made this her man, since it has already been done, how can she help him go to the end, maybe it can really earn money.

The children at home watched the adults busy hot and hot there, and all followed to help.

Drying, pickling, all simple work, no technical content, everyone was active.

Ye Yaodong felt very comforted in his heart.

"You be diligent, wait until Third Uncle earns money, come back and buy you two popsicles."

"Also want malt sugar..."

"No problem!"
