459 Everyone Loves Tofu
Liu Fugui's tofu house was opened seriously. As planned, Liu Fugui picked up interesting places and took photos of the entire step of making tofu with his mobile phone.
As soon as this short video was published, it was amazing. It caught the attention of many people in an instant. Then Comrade Liu Fugui also squatted in the tofu room last night.
There is no way. Everyone is very curious about making tofu. You see, eating tofu is a common thing, but making tofu is really too novel for many people.
Everyone is not very interested in grinding beans in stone mills. The most I want to see is the process of ordering tofu and pressing tofu.
While everyone was curious, they also directly turned on the reservation mode. This is also a new product launched by Liu Fugui. Based on the trust in Liu's products, this tofu should not be bad either.
Because it was the first day of opening, Liu Fugui didn't make too much. This thing couldn't help but put it in. Big tofu was OK, and even if it couldn't be sold out, it could still be made into frozen tofu. However, if the dried tofu was left, the taste of the next day would be much worse.
A total of 500 kilograms of beans were made, 200 kilograms were used to make big tofu, and 300 kilograms were used to make dried tofu. Although there were a lot of beans used, there were not many finished products.
No matter what you do, there is an output ratio. The output ratio of making big tofu is relatively high, and one pound of beans can produce three pounds. However, making dried tofu is relatively low. This is a purely manual method, which is the ratio of one pound tofu.
During the experiment two days ago, there were several times when I had not reached a pound. This was because the pressing time was a bit long and too much water was squeezed out.
Isn't it said that the dry tofu the better, as it will affect the taste. Just the right one is the best? Basically, Liu Fugui asked Daqiang and others to control the output ratio of these dry tofu as much as possible between 1:1 and 1:1.1.
"Fugui, how about our tofu?" After working hard in the morning, Liu Changguo came to Liu Fugui's side.
After swallowing the grapes that Guai Xiao Lele had sent to his mouth, Liu Fugui spoke, "The reputation has to be reported at lunch."
"This time, 130 kilograms of dried tofu were booked directly by supermarket customers. The remaining 100 kilograms were kept for sale in the supermarket, and the rest would be delivered to the restaurant with big tofu."
"There are fewer left in big tofu, and less than two hundred kilograms of can be sold in the supermarket. When this reputation comes out, I dare to let Daqiang and the others continue to do it, otherwise I don't know how many beans I can make."
"I don't think it's bad. We all love to eat it, but this taste is undeniable." Liu Changguo said.
"Haha, it would be great if that was true. I have more investments." Liu Fugui said with a smile.
"Have you calculated the cost? How much can you make?" Liu Changguo asked curiously.
It is actually a bit impolite to ask how much money others make, but everyone has a relationship here. Even if Liu Fugui doesn’t say it, everyone can calculate it almost as if they use their brains.
Liu Fugui didn't mind these things, "The beans we bought are 2 yuan, 3 cents per pound, and one pound of tofu can be sold for 9 yuan per pound. Just these 200 kilograms of soybeans today can be sold for 1,800 yuan."
"Dried tofu produces less, but the price is high. Our current price per pound is ten yuan, and three hundred pounds of soybeans is also three thousand yuan."
"The cost of removing soybeans is 1,150 yuan, and then removing the daily salary and other expenses of Daqiang and others are about 500 yuan. If all these tofu are sold, you can earn about 3,000 yuan. Basically, a pound of soybeans will make a profit of 5 to 6 yuan."
"But now we are doing less, and the price we supply to supermarkets and restaurants will be lower than the standard retail price, and we can get about 4 yuan in the end."
"In fact, it's just to make hard money. If you do more in the future, compress the cost and the profit margin may be higher. Today is a test to see how the results are."
"We are rich and powerful, you can make so much, that's fine." Liu Changguo said with a wry smile.
He really didn't know what to say. Although it was very hard to make tofu, the profit margin was already very high. And this was just the beginning. When these tofu really became famous, it would probably be possible to digest it by making one thousand pounds a day.
Even based on current profits, he can earn 4,000 yuan a day. How much money does he make in a month? He himself dared not think about that number.
Even if I have experienced the high prices of selling vegetables, melons, chickens, and pigs, I am a little scared to make so much money like "transfer transactions" like making tofu.
"Uncle Changguo, in fact, the money we earn is because we use the spring water that is not expensive on the mountain, otherwise there would be not so much." Liu Fugui said with a smile.
Liu Changguo shook his head helplessly, "That spring water is originally worthless. Since the tofu it makes is delicious, that's fine."
"By the way, don't you freeze some frozen tofu to sell? The ones we frozen by ourselves are also good. We stewed in the pot for a long time, but it doesn't take apart. Unlike the ones in the hot pot restaurant outside, they can't find them after talking."
"That has to wait. If you want to make frozen tofu, you have to use a large-scale freezing equipment. It's not winter now, you can just freeze it just by putting it outside." Liu Fugui said with a smile.
"Look at the situation, it depends on how well our tofu is. If it is really good, I will really dare to go there. Now I will wait for the restaurant to give feedback."
Liu Changguo took out his cell phone and looked at the time. He was really anxious. It was not until ten o'clock in the morning yet, so it was not enough for the restaurant to be able to get guests.
Waiting for some little torment, even if it is Liu Fugui or Liu Changguo, you are very confident in these tofu. However, in the actual situation, you have to rely on real feedback.
Just after 10:30, Zhao Jinrong called directly.
"Brother Zhao, how about it?" Liu Fugui asked anxiously.
"Haha, don't worry, the store will get at least 600 kilograms of tofu tomorrow, and the dried tofu will be as high as 400 kilograms. The ones I got here today have sold out." Zhao Jinrong said with a laugh.
"Brother Zhao, aren't you kidding? Why are you selling so fast? You can get everything you should buy directly. How can individual customers buy so much?" Liu Fugui asked in disbelief.
"What do you think? We held a small tasting activity in the supermarket. Sliced shallots and tofu and dried tofu dipped in meat sauce. No matter who tasted it, they said it would be fine, and then they lined up to buy it." Zhao Jinrong said.
"I told you a long time ago that this tofu must be made. In the process of transportation, you have to pay more attention to some big tofu being damaged."
"But you don't have to worry about this anymore. I will tell the driver. The road conditions on your side are like that. Even if you are careful, this is inevitable."
"You don't have to worry about any bad ones. You can eat them directly at noon. Otherwise, you can cook other dishes, which is also good. Your restaurant is probably not bad. Today's fish stew will definitely be very popular."
"After, I'll soak more beans in a while, and make one thousand kilograms of beans tonight. Then I'll keep some in the village and give them free food for everyone." Liu Fugui said.
"I won't care about that. Anyway, you can guarantee the supply in the supermarket. For ordinary people, soy products are home-cooked. Otherwise, the fish and meat are all over the place, which is not a problem that you can't afford to eat, and it will be greasy if you eat too much." Zhao Jinrong said.
"You can be busy first. I got to the restaurant. I left a pot of fish at noon. I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I'm really hungry for this smell."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Fugui's mood was so open. This was a perfect idea that it turned into reality, right? Is it expected that these tofu will not be bad, but it is really selling so popular now.
"Don't you feel at ease now? You kid are really good. You earn more than 100,000 yuan a month, but this is more than one million yuan a year?" Liu Changguo said jokingly.
Liu Fugui nodded, "In this way, I will be able to repair the road leading to our village from the beginning of next spring. Brother Zhao said just now that the tofu is still a little damaged. He can say it, and it is probably a lot of damage."
"This can be reduced in losses. Anyway, this road has to be repaired sooner or later, whether it is late or not. You have to contact Li Fengjiu and continue to buy soybeans. The batch of soybeans he helped touch is good."
"If you want to tell me, if you have time, you should go and buy it directly. It's easy to say that the price is high and low, at least the supply of goods can be guaranteed. Our place here is big, and even if you bring hundreds of tons, you can put it down." Liu Changguo said.
"Just now, you have to use a thousand kilograms of soybeans. When the transaction is launched, you will sell it nearby. I guess you can't even catch a ton a day."
"Although your tofu house is called that, it is a serious soybean product company. Do it well, now you are going to arrest this part. Zhuzi and I will help you watch what's next."
Everyone was in a good mood, even though it was not them who made money this time, but Liu Fugui was making money.
Now everyone is a small gang, and the leader is Liu Fugui. As long as Liu Fugui makes money, everyone will have a lot of life in the future.
Although Liu Fugui is a hand-off manager, he is definitely a good boss. Not only does he receive a high salary, he will also receive small gifts during festivals.
Although you haven't given this insurance or that money like in the city, you don't have to think too much about living in the countryside and having cooperative medical care.
The money you can get every month is the most realistic.
