Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 585

Seeing Qin Feng coming back, the two little girls were naturally very excited.

"Qin Feng, where have you been?"

"I just went out for a walk and met Yang Ruchun."

In front of the little princess and Su Jin, Qin Feng certainly didn't need to hide anything, so he told them about his plan.

Although the little princess also has an exquisite heart, but he has never been interested in these things, so he listened to it after hearing it, but Su Jin fell into deep thought.

"Do you think that Li Shu will obediently take out the money?"

"Why not? Don't forget that I am the prince now. If he really makes me unhappy, I can copy his house at any time."

"I don't believe that he has committed crimes in Yuchun City for so many years without leaving any evidence."

Qin Feng said it indifferently, but Su Jin shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. It's easy for you to chop Li Shu down, but it's very difficult to find someone to take his place."

"What's more, even if His Majesty is in private, there are people who dare to defy him, not to mention that you are just a little prince, and you are just a marquis."

"That's true."

Qin Feng came to his senses when he heard this: "Don't panic, I'll adapt accordingly."

Su Jin also nodded, she didn't doubt Qin Feng's talent in this area at all.

Just when everyone said this, Ling Chong and Hu Yanxing walked in side by side outside the gate of the small courtyard, holding a small bamboo basket in their hands.

Seeing Qin Feng and others, he also waved the basket in his hand at this time: "Look, my lord, I just walked around the surrounding mountains to see what I got."

"Oh?"

Hearing these words, Qin Feng's eyes lit up immediately. Hearing what he meant, did he get a treasure on the mountain?

Thinking of this, he also reached out to take the basket, but when he saw clearly what was in the basket, he froze for a moment.

He originally thought that Ling Chong had picked some panacea or something on the mountain, but he didn't expect that the basket was full of colorful wild fruits.

"How did you come up with something like this?"

"My lord, I have never eaten these fruits, and I don't know if they are delicious, but I think they are pretty, so I want to pick them back and let my lord have a look, maybe there are some things that can be eaten."

Compared with other people, Ling Chong is not restrained in front of Qin Feng, and his speech seems very casual.

Qin Feng laughed loudly at this moment: "How can these things be eaten? Believe it or not, take a bite, they are all sour fruits."

There are many varieties of fruits in this basket, such as plums and Yuchuncheng, but these are their most primitive varieties.

In Qin Feng's previous life, there were all kinds of delicious fruits on the market, but there were dozens of varieties of Jade Spring City, but they were all carefully selected and bred by later generations.

Now all the fruits in here are inedible.

Hearing this, Ling Chong felt a burst of disappointment. He thought that these fruits looked weird and unique, and they should taste good.

"Since these things can't be eaten, I'll throw them away."

When he said this, he stretched out his hand and was about to throw the basket aside, but was stopped by Qin Feng.

"Don't worry, I just said that you can't eat it raw, but I didn't say that you can't eat it after processing."

"What do you mean?"

"In fact, the sugar content of these fruits is not low, but their acidic substances are too much, so they cover the taste of sugar. As long as they are processed, they can be turned into delicious candied fruit."

"But that's too troublesome, but if these fruits can be made into candied fruits, it can also give these common people a way to learn."

After much deliberation, the little princess only thought of one benefit of doing so.

But Qin Feng waved his hand: "No, it's not just as simple as preserved fruit, have you ever heard of canned food?"

"can?"

Everyone was at a loss.

Qin Feng chuckled: "I haven't heard of it. In fact, there is no difference between canned food and so-called preserved fruit, but compared with preserved fruit, canned food can guarantee the original taste of this food to the greatest extent."

The fall of Qin Feng's words also moved this heart. There are definitely not a few wild fruits in the entire Yundian Province, and it can even be said to be the place with the most in the entire Zhou Kingdom.

If the wild fruits in the mountains and forests here can be made into cans and sold to other places, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Not only wild fruits, but also all kinds of exotic flowers here. If they can be cultivated into varieties and sold in other places, they will definitely be liked by many people.

As for making canned food, it's not too difficult. It's similar to so-called candied fruit.

It's just that the requirements for the container for making cans are very high, and they must be airtight.

The container that can be absolutely sealed, except for iron, is only glass.

Needless to say, the value of glass in this era, as for ironware, is also a very precious thing in this era, and there is no stainless steel in this era.

So using these two things to make canned containers is naturally very extravagant, so canned food did not appear in this era.

But to Qin Feng, this is nothing.

As long as he's around, there's nothing we can't do.

In fact, the process of making canned food is also very simple. First of all, the wild fruits are steamed, sterilized at high temperature, and then soaked in high-concentration sugar water. High salt and high sugar are very unsuitable environments for bacteria to survive.

If such a solution is used to store the wild fruit, it can not only act as a preservative, but also neutralize the sour taste of the wild fruit itself with sweetness.

This process is not difficult to operate, but it has relatively precise requirements for cooking skills, because only fruits steamed at a suitable temperature can maintain a non-rotten state and have a certain taste.

A large amount of fruit acid decomposes after being heated, but fructose remains in the process, so after the fruit was steamed, Qin Feng let them cool again, and then he found a few more glass jars.

These glass jars were brought all the way from Beihai before, and they were originally filled with other things. After cleaning them, Qin Feng filled them with canned fruits.

"How? If such canned fruits can be produced in large quantities and shipped to other places for sale, I think it must be a good business for the people here."

While Qin Feng was talking, except for Su Jin, the other two girls seemed not interested in doing business. They were more interested in whether the canned fruit tasted good than making money.
