Chapter 172 The Gu Family Will Always Stand Behind Lin Han (2/2)

Lin Han and Liu Li agreed to go the next morning to teach the military spouses who were participating in the drying of tribute vegetables the key points of the work.

Liu Li was afraid that others would overhear if she talked about it outside, so she invited everyone to her home.

When Lin Han arrived, there were already more than a dozen pregnant military wives sitting in the room, their faces full of anticipation.

"Sister Lin, can you really lead us to make money?"

Someone couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Lin Han nodded, "Of course, I will pay everyone according to the amount of work done. How much you can earn depends on your own abilities."

As she spoke, Lin Han showed everyone the salary standards she had set up. Then, in front of everyone, she proposed that Liu Li be in charge of measuring everyone's wages, and Wang Fang be in charge of ensuring the quality of everyone's products. If they wanted to continue working here, they had to obey the management of Liu Li and Wang Fang.

Everyone gets along well and is grateful to Lin Han for giving them a chance to make money, so naturally they have no objections.

"We'll do whatever you say. We'll do exactly what you say."

After explaining the wages and rules, Lin Han took out two lettuce leaves and began to demonstrate how to make dried gongcai (a type of preserved vegetable).

"The first step is to remove all the green leaves from the lettuce. These leaves are not needed during the drying process, but you can take them home and stir-fry them to add a dish to your family."

"Then use a knife to peel off the tough outer skin following the shape of the lettuce."

Lin Han picked up the knife and started peeling the skin. At home, Grandma Jiang always did these steps herself, so when she actually picked up the knife, she didn't know where to start.

Wang Fang could tell that Lin Han didn't do housework often, so she took the knife and lettuce from Lin Han's hands and peeled the outer skin as she asked.

When Lin Han saw how clumsy the knife seemed in her hands, it became so skillful in Wang Fang's hands, she felt that her idea of ​​asking these military wives for help was correct.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Later on, Lin Han simply gave verbal instructions, and Wang Fang operated according to her description.

Then cut the lettuce into evenly thick strips, and then into evenly thin strips (about 15-20 cm long and 0.5-1 cm wide).

"Yes, it can be even thicker."

After the lettuce was cut into strips, Lin Han continued to explain the next steps.

"The most important step is drying. Use bamboo poles or ropes to hang all the chopped lettuce on them to dry. Avoid direct sunlight and turn the lettuce over every day to ensure that all sides of the lettuce are dried evenly until it is completely dehydrated and remains a yellowish-green color."

If the color is yellowish, it means it's been over-dried, and the texture will be too crisp; it falls into this category.

"Finally, the dried gongcai (a type of dried vegetable) is sorted into neat strips, tied into bundles of 100 grams each, and stored in earthenware jars."

"I will come over to check on it often while it's being made, and I can ask you if there's anything I'm not sure about."

Lin Han wasn't worried about these military wives' work abilities at all; they were far better than her.

In fact, the dried gongcai exported by the factory has been dried, but Lin Han does not have the conditions for drying, so he can only use the most traditional method of hand-drying.

On the contrary, the more troublesome and time-consuming hand-drying of dried vegetables results in a better taste and higher quality.
