Aunt Geng's eyes sparkled with praise. She was very proud and confident. She and Gu Nanxi huddled in the kitchen and demonstrated the technique on the spot.

He told us every detail, even how much water to put in and how hot to cook it, without keeping anything to himself.

The method of making canned fruit is actually very simple.

Just wash the ceramic pot clean, then put the fruit and water in it, steam it, and cover it with a lid after steaming.

The most critical step is that the pottery jar must be clean!

In later generations, many families would make canned yellow peaches in this way, but they all used glass jars, which had particularly good sealing properties.

The conditions are not met now, so we can only strengthen the closedness from other aspects.

Gu Nanxi inspected it and felt that this was a feasible idea, so he immediately handed over the task of preparing the cannery to Su Yunyan and Aunt Geng!

Su Yunyan received the task from A Niang and took action immediately.

Fuming Town is a military fortress after all, and there is no suitable semi-factory location, so Su Yunyan set up the cannery in Rouxuan Town.

Then she also contacted Wen Yu, wanting to place an advertisement for purchasing fruits in the fourth issue of "Yunzhou Weekly"!

This was the first time that Yunzhou Weekly received an advertisement, which opened the door to a new world for Wen Yu.

The price of Yunzhou Weekly was very cheap, only one penny. But at this rate, it was just barely enough to break even.

Wen Yu was worried that relying on the funding from the Governor's Office was not a long-term solution. Su Yunyan's arrival made her realize that Yunzhou Weekly could open an extra page for advertising!

For a moment, the entire Yunzhou started moving again!

Outside Fuming Town, at the market, a new purchasing point was opened next to the original wool purchasing stall.

"Harvesting fruits? There are small red fruits on the grassland. Do you want to harvest them too?" The person who spoke was holding a handful of small fruits in his hand. They were bright red and tasted sweet and sour with a hint of astringency.

"Hairy cherry? Where did you find it?" The person at the purchasing point recognized what this fruit was at a glance.

Hairy cherries are generally distributed in mountains, hills and grasslands. Children on the grasslands don't have much sweets, so they love to find this kind of hairy cherry to sweeten their mouths.

"There is a patch of hairy cherry trees where our tribe grazes, and I just picked them." The person who spoke generously handed a handful of hairy cherries to the person in charge of the purchasing point.

The market in Fuming Town has been open for more than a year and has a good reputation among all the tribes on the grassland.

Here, as long as you abide by the rules of Fuming Town, you will not be forced to buy or sell, nor will you encounter price cuts or rip-offs.

The reputation of the market spread further and further, and many grassland tribes far away from Yunzhou wanted to come here to trade.

The grassland people who have come to the market several times have become familiar with the people at the purchasing points, and they can occasionally chat with each other about family matters.

"receive!"

"You're collecting these too? There are plenty of them on the grassland, what are you collecting them for?" It was just a casual question, but I didn't expect Yunzhou to actually collect hairy cherries!

"We in Yunzhou are going to set up a canning factory. Now we want not only the hairy cherries, but also the grapes from Huaishuo Town and the sea buckthorn berries from the mountains!"

“Are you going to set up a factory again?!”

When the people around heard this, they were filled with envy.

"Your Yunzhou is still the best. You live in a comfortable and warm house with a warm kang, and you don't have to worry about life!"

"Your general is so good to you! He tries every possible way to help you make money!"

"Oh, your life is much better now than it was a few years ago!"

This sounded a bit sour, and the person in charge of the purchasing point laughed and said, "Aren't you doing well too? I heard that several babies were born in your tribe last winter. They will all be warriors of your tribe in the future!"

The winter on the grassland is very hard to endure. It is good enough if no one in the tribe freezes to death or starves to death.

Having a few new babies in winter is a great joy, proving that the tribe has abundant resources and a rich life.

Thinking of the warm winter this year, the sour grassland people grinned and said, "Yes! The leader said early on that we should keep all our wool this year and sell it to the general! In addition to the hairy cherries, do we also want other fruits?"

"What do you have there?"

"Plums. Black ones. Don't worry, I picked the ones that have been frosted for you. They won't be astringent and are very sweet."

"Row!"

……

"Mom! Look, I picked a lot of fruits today!" A young boy of seven or eight years old came into the tent with a gray linen bag and happily showed his mother his harvest today.

While boiling goat milk, the woman took a look and praised, "Our Gerlang is really amazing! Tomorrow, you can take these fruits to the market to sell!"

Gerlang carefully put the fruits into the basket, which was already half full of small red fruits.

Their tribe found a fertile pasture not far from Yunzhou.

The chief said that they would spend the winter here and not move to any other place.

This is the first time that Geerlang has come to Yunzhou. Last year, his father brought a team here to trade. His father said that Yunzhou is a very, very good place and the market is super big, you can't see the end at a glance.

Although the general of Yunzhou is a Jade-faced King of Hell, she never makes things difficult for the common people on the grassland. When the people of Yunzhou mention her, they all give her a thumbs up and praise her.

Many small tribes are willing to station near Yunzhou.

They trust the Jade-faced King of Hell more than the greedy Khan's tribes.

Because it was safe, the family gave the task of herding the sheep to Gerlang.

When Gerlang was grazing, he would pick small fruits and put them into the burlap bag he carried with him.

Only in this way, the small fruits will not be easily crushed. If they are put into bamboo baskets, they will be easily crushed, which will affect the purchase price.

"Mom, Lu's younger brother said that he is going to school." Geerlang counted his fruits while chatting.

Lu's younger brother was a Han Chinese friend he knew. He told him that he had three older brothers and one older sister, but none of them could be supported. Three of them starved to death in the winter, and one died of illness.

When Ge Lang went to the market to trade, Lu's younger brother was helping his father carry yellow mud.

"Going to school? Has their family become rich?" The woman was very surprised. Even she knew that it would cost a lot of money to go to school in Da Zhou.

Geerlang's tone was full of envy: "It's free. Lu's brother said that he went to the elementary school run by the governor's mansion, which is free. If he does well in the exam, he will get bonus money! He said that he must be the first in the grade, and then take the exam to become a juren, the top scholar, and work for the general!"

The woman paused for a long time before she said softly, "Yunzhou is really a good place."

Geerlang was also envious: "Yes. Lu's brother said that the general himself is very frugal and only wears a few new clothes a year, but he is very kind to the people! Mother, if we were also from Yunzhou, how great it would be. I also want to go to school."
