Chapter 175 A bowl of potato noodles
"Variety?"
The village chief scratched his head with a confused expression. He looked at the person behind him, and the other person also shook his head.
"Boss, all the potatoes in our village were planted today. We can't finish eating them, and we put the small potatoes that sprouted directly into the soil. I really don't know what kind they are."
Xia Anan nodded. It didn’t matter if she didn’t know the variety, as long as the starch content was high.
"Boss, how many potatoes do you want?" asked the village chief.
Without waiting for Pei Yuanbai to speak, the villagers who were watching the fun rushed to speak.
"Boss, take ours! Our potatoes are big!"
"Boss, don't listen to her. She doesn't know how to dig potatoes. All the potatoes she digs out are bad. Hahahaha!"
"Ours! We have a lot!"
The village chief stretched out his arm to stop the people who were making trouble. "What are you shouting about? Listen to the bosses. Whatever the bosses say is what's due."
In previous years, there were bosses who came to the village to buy potatoes, but they didn’t buy much.
After all, potatoes cannot be eaten after they sprout. If you receive too many and store them improperly, they will fall into your hands.
But the only things in the village were potatoes and corn. The people who stayed in the village depended on these to make a living, and they all wanted to sell some for money.
Pei Yuanbai glanced at Xia Anan and said, "Don't worry, as long as they are good potatoes, we will collect them."
I negotiated the price with the village chief.
"By the way, you said there is a factory nearby. What's the situation?" Xia Anan asked.
Pei Yuanbai told the driver in the front seat an address, and the driver turned around at the intersection ahead.
He explained: "I have already negotiated with the factory. It used to be a food processing company, but business was bad and it closed down for a while. The other party owed employees wages and was anxious to sell it, so I bought it."
Both Xia Anan and Pei Yuanbai knew that it was not practical to build a factory in this city in a short period of time.
So he asked his friends in the mountain city to help him inquire about it, and he didn't expect that there really was such a factory.
The car soon stopped at the gate of a factory. Looking at the majestic gate in front of her, Xia Anan thought Pei Yuanbai was joking.
"Such a big factory, it just closed down like that?"
"The original boss was in poor health, so he gave the factory to his son. But he didn't expect that the boy didn't know how to run the business, and he offended some other local businesses."
Pei Yuanbai didn't need to finish his words, naturally other companies joined forces to suppress this factory.
The three of them walked in together. No one had cleaned the factory yard, and weeds had grown in the corners.
All the equipment inside had been moved away, leaving only an empty space.
Xia Anan is now doing some practical work, and this factory looks like an abandoned one.
Looking at it this way, I can say that I have gotten a great deal.
"As soon as we got off the plane, I brought Xiaoling here to check it out. There's nothing wrong with the factory. We just need to do something. We can clean it up and install the equipment and start working."
Pei Yuanbai was very satisfied with this factory. It didn't cost much money and it was quite new.
Xia Anan nodded and walked around the factory.
"Then let's find a cleaning company to come and clean it. I'll contact the factory later to see when we can get the equipment here."
Then we can find workers and officially start production.
Pei Yuanbai also had the same idea. It would not be a good idea for such a large factory to remain empty all the time. After cleaning it up, he went to the security company to find a few people to watch over it.
"An An, what is our factory going to produce next?"
It has been so long, and Pei Yuanbai still hasn't heard any news about new products from Xia Anan. He is no less nervous than others.
"Um... potato flour, have you ever heard of it?"
Xiaoling shook her head, and Pei Yuanbai followed suit.
"It's about extracting the starch from potatoes and making vermicelli..."
Xia Anan felt that she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words. What she wanted to make was not only potato noodles, but also sweet potato noodles. Just think about how happy she would be holding a bowl of hot noodles in the middle of winter.
She was also very curious that there was not even potato flour in this world. She searched the Internet but did not see this thing.
Sweet potato flour does exist, but it only appears in big stews, and no one has ever thought of other flavors.
It seems that this world only revolves around the hero and heroine. The author himself doesn't care what ordinary people eat...
"It's still hard to understand how potatoes can be turned into vermicelli." Xiaoling frowned slightly.
Xia Anan thought for a moment and said, "When we get back to the hotel, I'll see if I can borrow the kitchen and cook for you."
After hearing their request, the hotel manager readily agreed. The hotel kitchen could not be lent to them, but they could use the small kitchen at will.
Xia Anan bought a few pounds of potatoes, cut them into small pieces, put them into the juicer, filtered them, and precipitated the starch water...
It was not until the evening that three bowls of potato noodles were finally ready.
Xiaoling looked at the big bowl in front of her, her heart filled with surprise. The potatoes turned into vermicelli right under her nose?
"Have a taste."
Xia Anan had precipitated starch at home once before, but maybe she didn’t choose the right type of potatoes, so the starch content was very low and in the end she didn’t make vermicelli.
But it was the first time for Xia Anan to make finished potato flour. Due to limited conditions in the hotel, she only added bean sprouts and tofu skin.
It smells pretty good right now, but I'm not sure how it tastes.
Potato flour is coarser than other vermicelli and has a different taste than other vermicelli.
Xiaoling picked up a piece with chopsticks, blew on it to release the hot air, and it tasted soft and chewy in her mouth, a taste she had never imagined before.
When Xia Anan was making it just now, she thought that such thick vermicelli would not be tasty. In fact, it tasted better than noodles and was quite tasty.
This is just cooked in plain water. I wonder how delicious it would be if it were cooked in bone broth.
Xiaoling swallowed the potato flour in her mouth and wanted to discuss the taste with Pei Yuanbai next to her, but when she turned around, she saw that the other person's head was almost buried in the bowl.
"..."
"An An, no wonder you decided to make this kind of potato noodles, it's really delicious!" Xiaoling added some chili and vinegar to her bowl to make it taste better.
Xia Anan looked at the potato flour in the bowl. Since she made it herself, the thickness was a little uneven. If it was made by a machine, the quality would be more stable.
"When the factory officially produces it, we can mix a soup base and it will taste even better."
While the two were talking, Pei Yuanbai had already finished a bowl of potato noodles. He didn't understand when Xia Anan said she wanted to harvest more potatoes. Now he wanted to use all the potatoes in Shancheng to make potato noodles...
