February [-]th, Thursday.morning.
"Ding, the host's reward for signing in today is, 'Jing'an Hotel' Crystal Shrimp X50."
Shrimp must be processed before being put into the pot, and it is extremely complicated processing.Because its best taste is 'crisp bomb', which is also known as 'Q bomb'.
Hu Jianren is very good at eating seafood. In the 40s, the Jing'an Hotel in Shanghai invited a group of chefs from Fujian and Guangdong. One of the famous Fujian chefs improved the 'fried shrimp' and launched this 'crystal shrimp' dish. .The shrimps are white in color and have a "bouncy" taste, and they became very popular in Shanghai.It is said that Jing'an Hotel can sell more than ten tons of shrimp every day.Of course, there is a slight problem with this data, which will be discussed below.
Why can crystal shrimp present such a high-quality taste?The key lies in the word 'washing'.
There are three essential raw materials for washing shrimp, a large amount of salt, baking soda and cornstarch.It's a lot, not a little.
After pouring these things into the shrimp, it will take a long time to stir continuously. This process may take about one or two hours.How long it takes is up to a professional.
The working principle of 'washing shrimp' is roughly like this: the soda is alkaline, and after infiltrating the shrimp, it will corrode the meat fiber; the salt will re-coagulate the protein, which is like a process of constantly breaking and rebuilding, so the shrimp will appear in the end A 'crisp bomb' taste.
No matter how good the raw shrimp is, it will inevitably shrink after heating, and the protein will harden. Their rough taste cannot be compared with the 'washed' shrimp.
Say something off topic.If there is no pre-processing, among the cooked fish, shrimp and crab, the meat quality of shrimp is the worst. Do you agree or not?
Raw flour acts as an 'abrasive' during the 'washing' process, just like ultra-fine quartz sand.
When a pot full of shrimps is stirred, the shrimps are squeezed and rubbed against each other, and then the "red film" on the surface of the shrimp meat will be removed by grinding the raw powder, and finally the white meat will appear.
After stirring, it should be soaked and rinsed in a large amount of water to remove the residues of soda, salt and cornstarch.Then dry the water with a dry cloth. In short, the whole process requires manual operation, which is very troublesome.
Washing shrimp is not easy, and I don't understand how Jing'an Hotel washes more than ten tons of crystal shrimp every day.
Because of the huge loss during the washing process, more than 20 tons of finished shrimps require at least [-] tons of unprocessed shrimps.
Twenty tons of shrimp is [-] kilograms.
Every 25 kg pot needs to be washed [-] times.
Two hours each time requires [-] working hours.It takes one hundred people to work continuously for sixteen hours a day.
So mathematics is really boring, no wonder people who study mathematics have no friends.
When Du Shouyi saw 'Crystal Shrimp', he thought of his friends: Xu Weimin, Xu Weiliang.The two brothers went to Beijing to celebrate the New Year two days ago, and everyone made an appointment to have dinner at the big leader's house tonight. It seems that this shrimp is prepared for them.
There was no rush for dinner. Du Shouyi was going to Xiong Ming's house at noon to deliver "Crazy for Love" to Lou Xiao'e.Unexpectedly, he was delayed when he returned to the courtyard to deliver the meal.
As soon as he entered the room, the old lady said with a smile: "Second grandson, grandma will help you with Liu Guangfu's affairs today."
Du Shouyi didn't understand, and the big mother on the side smiled and said, "The old lady is doing a great job today, so she's going to ask the head of the National People's Congress directly."
"Where did you make the request? I need someone from the leader to help me take a look."
The two talked to each other, and Du Shouyi finally understood the matter.
It turned out that people from the People's Armed Forces Department came to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.Usually there are only one or two people, but today a large group of 'hula la' came.The old lady is shrewd, seeing this posture, she knows that the leader must be a big leader.She immediately called Liu Guangfu.
"Chief, this is my little grandson. He likes to wrestle and climb walls. He says he wants to be a scout. Can you help him see if he can do it?"
The chief was also free, and asked Liu Guangfu some questions, joined hands with him, and let him perform parkour.Before leaving, he had someone write down Liu Guangfu's name and school.
The old lady looked on with a smile. She knew that the matter was probably done. When she saw Du Shouyi's face, she hurriedly showed off her merits.
Du Shouyi had shared his thoughts with the old lady twice, but the old lady kept it in her heart and helped him whenever she found a chance.But... he has entrusted Director Yang?
Master Ding's daughter came back once, and Liu Guangfu came here again.It was agreed to send someone to join the army, but it didn't take long for him to change his mind, and it was a bit of a joke to do it twice in a row.
Du Shouyi came back from Xiong Ming's place and hurried to find Director Yang.
"Look at the trouble. I just told you two days ago. I didn't expect the old lady to release a satellite today."
"It's okay, I haven't gone to my old comrade-in-arms yet. Do you want me to ask for you? Hasn't the head of the family made a clear statement yet?"
"That's the best. In two days. They must be busy with New Year's greetings these days."
It's not over yet.
On the way to Uncle Xu's house after get off work, Xiaowei said suddenly: "Brother-in-law, you left in a hurry at noon, and I didn't have time to tell you about something. Deputy Chief Zhou came to our hospital and gave me some money." Where's the candy?"
"What happened in the morning?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people here, as if they came to see the old lady."
Du Shouyi thought for a while, then laughed 'hehe', and said, "Do you know that those who stir up the wind and roar are smaller than Tutu when they look back.".
These two poems were passed on to Zhou Huaihai through the brothers of the Xu family, and soon reached the ears of Deputy Chief Zhou.A few days later, Deputy Chief Zhou asked Zhou Xiaobai to ask for words, and what he wanted was Mr. Lu Xun's "Answer to the Guest".
The "Answer to the Guest" was confiscated shortly after it fell into the hands of Deputy Chief Zhou.In June [-], it appeared in an auction held by Duoyunxuan, and was won by Zhou Xiaobai at a price of [-] Hong Kong dollars.
To provide some reference data, a painting by Wang Jingwei was estimated at around HK$[-] at that time.Judging from the scale and the author's historical background, especially since Du Shouyi is still alive and well, eight thousand is already a high price.
After Zhou Xiaobai took pictures of this post, she dedicated it to her father as a birthday present.Du Shouyi personally recorded this interesting incident on the side of the post.
Yasheng's pen and ink in two different periods appeared on the same post, and behind it was the affectionate interaction between a father and daughter of a famous general 30 years apart.This makes "Answering the Guest" a unique treasure, and its valuation has increased hundreds of times in 30 or [-] years.Of course, this is all for later.
It's Friday, February [-]th.The New Year's Eve was over yesterday, and according to the customs of Kyoto, the official New Year's Eve begins today.
morning.
"Ding, the host's reward for signing in today is 'RMB' X5000."
After Xiong Ming's future direction is determined.The work of collecting antiques stopped, and he had to concentrate on improving his English.
Du Shouyi and he still have a lot of cash in their hands. The best strategy is to wait until April and May to exchange the money and the system for the new version of RMB, as long as they lose [-]%, but there is no risk.
Du Shouyi didn't want to be idle for a few months, so he used the money to go to Rongbaozhai and Liulichang when he was free, buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, calligraphy and paintings of famous people, and buy whatever he likes.
I'm going to digress here.It is said that real estate profits are huge, but the paintings of masters such as Li Keran and Huang Binhong were only a few or tens of dollars in the 60s and 21s, but they are worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions in the [-]st century.Millions of times the return on investment.On the static appreciation rate, how can real estate and art investment compare?
The same goes for the annualized rate of return.For example, in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, housing prices range from 20 to 20.00 from [-] to [-], and have increased by [-] times in [-] years, with an annualized return of [-]%, which is lower than Buffett.
A small-scale painting by Li Keran, from 4000 to 50, from 100 to 30.00 million, an increase of [-] million times in [-] years.The compound interest rate is [-]%, which is exactly the same as Buffett.
This is counted from 80 to 1980. In fact, artworks did not rise much in the [-]s and [-]s, and even fell.Since the intervention around [-], the annualized rate of return has been frighteningly high.Not to mention real estate, even Buffett is a younger brother.
Of course, this is an extremely ideal state, so you can just play around.Du Shouyi's collection of calligraphy and painting is mainly a hobby.
After the state of "wanting everything" at the beginning, his current collection interests mainly focus on two categories, one is calligraphy and painting, and the other is furniture.
With advanced carpentry skills, his interest in Ming and Qing furniture also increased day by day.Now part of the funds are invested in it.
In the 60s, people, mahogany furniture in the late Qing Dynasty was not expensive.For example, the table, the cheapest old mahogany table in the consignment store costs seven or eight yuan a piece.
Of course, it is not everywhere, so you have to pick up the leaks.It's just that no one will snatch it from you, you pick it up firmly.This era pays attention to the use of 'new' and 'fashionable'.A dilapidated mahogany table is not as welcome as a new solid wood table.Different generations have different consumption concepts.
Criticism from the boss: no more updates at the end of the month.
If you want to listen to what the boss says, you must add an update. :)
