Ancient Fortune Records

It has been three months since I came to Youzhou, and it was July, and the weather was extremely hot.At this time of year, watermelons, peaches, and pears are very popular.

Pears and peaches are cheap, while watermelons are more expensive.However, smart merchants will not directly sell the whole watermelon. They will make a basin of well water and let the watermelon soak in the well water. When someone comes to buy it, they will sell it in slices. A watermelon costs a few pennies. Some people buy it, which is more profitable than selling a single one. some.

Because the speed of information circulation is very slow, price fluctuation feedback cannot be received in time, which may lead to losses, making farmers have to carefully plant the safest crops.Therefore, there are really very few farmers who buy hilltops to grow fruit trees for a living.

At this time, it is necessary for the government to conduct unified management of the vendors, so that the prices of important materials are only allowed to fluctuate back and forth within a certain range, above or below this range. people, punish them.

For example, the price of grain and salt, because the government controls it well, it is difficult to cause a big blow to people's livelihood.Therefore, Shen Li is very concerned about this aspect. He can neither discourage the enthusiasm of traders, nor allow the market to regulate prices at will.

"Many people are making dried fruit recently." Shen Laiqiu saw that Shen Li had bought some, so he tasted a few. They were fragrant and sweet, and had a good taste.

Everywhere in Jicheng is full of fruity aroma. It is true that pears and watermelons cannot be dried, but peaches are fine. Peach jerky is everyone’s favorite food, and it can be stored for a long time after being dried.

Shen Li felt that this could become a profitable project.Most farmers only get money by selling raw materials. In fact, as long as the raw materials are processed, they can be sold at a higher price.

"Dad, have you ever eaten jam?"

"Jam? It's like making fruit into a jam? Is that delicious?"

"I'll make it, you have a taste, I'll make it often if you like it."

In the modern times, Shen Li would occasionally buy a few bottles of jam and spread it on bread for breakfast.Blueberry jam and strawberry jam taste very good, and he has tried it himself.

There are no such things as blueberries and strawberries now, and it is also very good to make pear jam.He is not very good at watermelon sauce, it tastes weird when boiled, so he didn't plan to make it.

Shen Yan watched helplessly after the fragrant and sweet pear jam was made, filled half a bowl for his parents and elder brother to taste the taste, and finally filled it for himself.

"Well, it's really good, even old people without teeth can eat it." Shen Laiqiu smacked his lips, feeling that the taste is so soft and thick, which is very good.

Recently, Yu Shi was upset and irritable by the crying of two children, and there was a blister on the corner of his mouth. Unexpectedly, after eating this half bowl of pear sauce, the anger in his heart seemed to fade away.

"If you get angry, it's very good to eat this, or Qiuli cream." Shen Li filled some more for his mother. He didn't put much sugar in what he made, so it wasn't too sweet.

Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Baozi can't talk yet, and now they are scurrying around in Shen Laiqiu's arms, expressing their desire to eat pear jam with "ahh".

"Hey, the saliva is coming out!" Shen Li smiled and wiped the mouths of his younger brothers and sisters, and picked up some juice with clean chopsticks for them to taste.

Don’t dare to give too much, after all, it’s still a milk baby with a fragile stomach, so just a little coaxing is all it takes.

Shen Laiqiu regretfully said: "Good things are good things. We only know that there are chili sauce, bean paste, and the Nashi Laozi tomato sauce you made. This kind of jam is rare. It's a pity that it is difficult to store without heavy salt. You have to cook it once you eat it, which is really troublesome."

Shen Li missed canned food. Although preservatives and other additives are always secretly added, canned fruit and jam are well sealed.

After all, ancient anti-corrosion is not as good as modern ones.

Shen Li paused. In fact, even without preservatives, it might not be impossible to make it into cans.Make tin cans, and then coat the inside and outside of the can with a layer of tin, which can preserve the food in the can well.Like fruit, the shelf life is short, but if it is kept at low temperature and sealed, it can be stored for four to five months.Then conservatively estimate the date, about three or four months.

It would be a good thing to think about having a bite of fresh and sweet fruit in winter.

There are also many ways to pump the air in the can. One of them is to put the rubber ring in the bottle cap. Before sealing the can with this bottle cap, the temperature inside the bottle is higher than the external temperature, and the pressure is sealed.If it is not safe, add wax.

In this case, military food will be available!

"Father, the cook at home knows how to make jam. If you and your mother like it, ask them to make more. The baby has something to do, so I have to go out." Shen Li hastily put down the bowl in his hand, and was about to hand out the canned food. To formulate it.

If it is feasible to make cans, then the iron in Youzhou can be used as a raw material for cans in addition to making iron weapons.

In fact, the iron powder itself has a certain anti-corrosion effect, but Shen Li seldom thinks about it.

Iron is indeed hard to come by, but cans can be recycled, so it's not a waste.

Many officials could not understand Shen Li's outlandish ideas.After all, their knowledge is different. In the era of information explosion, Shen Li's superficial understanding is very useful for ancient times.

For those who are marching and fighting, it is already very good for them to have enough food and grass. Why do they pay attention to their taste and the inconvenience of carrying them?But that's just a small benefit of canning.

Marching with cans can effectively reduce the phenomenon of military pay being deducted.Corrupt officials can be found everywhere, and military salaries are corrupted every year, especially in places that Dazhao cannot control.If the imperial court distributes special iron cans uniformly, these people will not dare to be unscrupulous.
