The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 81

Tin cans are not afraid of light, have a long storage time, and are more convenient to transport than glass cans.The disadvantage is that the cost is high, and it is easy to rust when exposed to water.

As long as it is transported or stored, be careful not to get wet in the rain, the latter defect can be avoided, and the main reason is the cost.

In the days of peasant girls, there were no mines at home, so the first thing that came to mind was glass jars.

But at this moment, the Jinnan Prince's Mansion, which she is backed by, has a whole mine. With the iron ore reserves that have been explored so far, there is no pressure to divide it into several tons to make tin cans.

Such a simple question has troubled her for several months.

In this way, Qinbei in the hilly area can get rid of poverty and become well-off by planting lychees.

She briefly talked with Yan Kejin, originally she wanted him to come forward, contract out several barren hills around, and hire local villagers to grow lychees.

Unexpectedly, he bought this place directly, and in an instant, hundreds of miles around became the territory of the palace.

This old man bought land and hills at every turn, and Xu Yin was already unable to complain.

Think about it, after the canning project is completed, he shouldn't lose money.

However, since it is to be canned, it is best to have more varieties, just one canned lychee, it will be monotonous after a long time.

She took Yan Kejin into the mountain to investigate.

After reading it, I feel that the soil here is not only suitable for growing lychees, but also suitable for growing tropical and subtropical fruits such as longan, orange, and pineapple, and these fruits are also suitable for canning.

"Pineapple? What is this?"

Xu Yin saw that he didn't know, so she drew the mentioned tropical fruits with charcoal, so that it would be a reference for people to look for fruit saplings later.

Yan Kejin stared at the pineapple picture for a long time.

Xu Yin: "..."

Well, there are no pineapples in Lingnan at this time.

"Why don't you send someone to look for them on the outer continent? This kind of fruit trees like hot and humid environments, and there may be some there."

"Ah."

Yan Kejin took the picture she had drawn, and ordered a guard to go across the border quickly.

But to go across the continent requires a ferry, and if there is no delay on the way, I am afraid it will take a month to get back.

Xu Yin then told the guards that if there are these fruits she painted on the other side of the continent, they don't need to come back and report back, but directly search for a batch of high-quality fruit tree seedlings and bring them back in a carriage.

There are local mountain farmers who plant something, and they know a lot more than her. What she can do is to teach them the new method of composting.

It's time to head back when you're done.

Don't try to explore all of Baigui County in one go.

At this speed, it would be nice to be able to explore Baigui County within three years.

[Ding——A quarter of Baigui County in Nanban has been explored]

[Ding——Explore beyond the continent, activate the new map, and reward 2000 energy points]

Unexpectedly, on this day, the system sent two mission messages in succession, which made Xu Yin quite puzzled.

A quarter of Baigui County has been explored?no?
Crossing the continent and starting to explore?But she didn't go to the Outer Continent, not even Qin County.

How is this going?The system pumped?
Xu Yin was puzzled until Yan Kejin received a letter from Fei Ge, telling her that Yan Jiu had bought the entire forest where the rubber forest was located.

In the surrounding forests, rubber trees can be planted and rubber gardens can be built at any time.

In the deep forest, there are many hundreds or thousands of precious old trees, which will not move for the time being, and will be kept for the children to marry in the future.

Of course, if she likes it, she can cut some trees and let Yan Jiu bring them back.

There is also a flying pigeon letter from another guard, who has crossed the sea and reached the Outer Continent. The fruits that Xu Yin drew are indeed available in the Outer Continent, but the pineapples are wild.

According to the description of the guards, the people there were not sensitive to pineapples, saying that they were poisonous, and their mouths became numb, red and swollen after eating them.

Unless you are hungry and have nothing to eat, most people don't want to touch it.

So I sent a special letter to report: Do you want to take it back to Qinbei?

Of course I do!

"The way to eat pineapples is indeed a bit special, but that's not a problem. You let him buy fruit seedlings, and if it's convenient, hire a few local people who are good at growing this kind of fruit trees to go back to Qinbei and teach them how to grow them."

In this way, the task progress that popped up suddenly by the system made Xu Yin roughly understand: she doesn't necessarily have to go to the exploration in person, but the people she sends are also counted.

Once the mind is opened, the mood is not to mention how happy.

"What beautiful thing happened to the princess?"

After Yan Kejin finished writing the handbook and released the pigeons, when she came back and saw her with a smile on her lips and humming a little song from time to time, she couldn't help asking with a smile.

"I won't tell you!" Xu Yin smiled playfully.

Yan Kejin retreated, stepped forward and hugged her: "Let me guess, is it... yes?"

While speaking, warm big hands, with his unique cool breath, caressed her lower abdomen.

Xu Yin froze for a moment, then laughed: "You think too much."

Yan Kejin was just guessing, but she was not disappointed when she saw her rebuttal.

The accompanying imperial doctor took the pulse of the princess and said that she was in good health.

There will always be heirs.It's fine if you don't come now, and you can still enjoy London with her a few more times.

Thinking of this, I felt a little moved in my heart.

Looking down, seeing the person in his arms with apricot face and peach cheeks, and a charming face, he didn't let the maid come in to hold the lamp, and carried her to the couch in the dark...

When I returned to Fucheng, it was already August when the osmanthus was fragrant.

The butler led the servants to hang lanterns on the corridors and corners of the mansion.

At night, candles were lit, and the blushing light illuminated the Jiuqu corridor in the mansion.

In the kitchen, the carpenter workshop also asked the carpenter to make a batch of brand new moon cake molds, large and small, with dozens of patterns in a set, in preparation for the autumn harvest festival.

Xu Yin figured out that the salty rice dumplings were very popular in the house. No, seeing the prince and princess returning to the house, the imperial cook hurried over to ask the princess what kind of salty mooncakes she likes, so the kitchen could prepare the fillings in advance.

Yan Kejin also looked at her expectantly after hearing the words.

Xu Yin: "..."

Salty mooncakes?

This really has not been studied.

"How about trying Jinsha custard filling and salted egg yolk ham filling? These two salty flavors should be okay."

The popular mooncakes here in Yanhua are similar to the Cantonese style, but they are a bit hard when cold, not as soft as the Cantonese style mooncakes of later generations.

Xu Yin guessed that the syrup was too thin and too much flour had to be added to adjust the softness of the dough, resulting in slow or no return of oil after cooling, so it tasted hard and the taste was not good.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of sugar in the mansion this year, so Xu Yin asked the servants to move the white sugar that had been boiled to the big kitchen for the cooks to make mooncakes.

In addition, she plans to bake a batch of Soviet-style mustard fresh meat and red bean paste mooncakes.

Then make the lychees brought back by Qinbei into canned lychees in syrup, and give them to the prince for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She had someone build a baking kiln in the back garden of Xu Mansion.

The blueprint of the kiln was prepared by the system, and it was more sophisticated than she thought. The open fire on the lower floor can be used for barbecue; the upper fire can be used to bake mooncakes and other snacks.

When the kiln is built, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be around the corner.

Xu Yin led the mothers and maids to start making Soviet-style mooncakes.
