Chapter 4030: First place in fights and dinners

"Canned food? Or canned apples in a crock pot." Chen Xi looked at the crock pot in amazement. Who developed this technique, further diluting the cost.
Chen Xi is also doing canned food here, but Chen Xi’s canned food is a glass bottle, and the cost will be higher than that of crock pots anyway, because the technical content of crock pots is lower. Basically, you can find them anywhere you like these years. A mason who can make earthen jars.
More importantly, the materials required for earthenware jars, that is, the so-called soil quality is more common than glass, and these are the keys to amortization of costs.
Even if an earthen jar is cheaper than a glass jar when it is mass-produced, it is only one or two cents cheaper, but this is a very clear technological advancement.
After all, the production process of crock pots is low, it requires less fuel and the furnace temperature is also lower, which makes it easier to control and is more suitable for the popularization of workshops.
If the technology is backward and easy to promote, it is still very meaningful for the country as a whole in the era of not paying attention to technological upgrading.
"Yes, I went to Niyang for this, because the dates and apples have not come down now, and the cans made in earthen jars can only be from last year. The shelf life is already very good." Li Jun said cheerfully, and he too Coming at this point.
The shelf life is long enough, which means that even if the goods are on hand, as long as they are transported out of the north, they can be sold sooner or later. There is no possibility of loss. After all, this year, canned food is considered a scarce material, and it is placed in winter and spring. Easy to shoot.
"It's really very powerful." Chen Xi has seen too much long-term than Li Jun. This seemingly unworthy technology, but represents a very frenzied shelf life, at least for this year's shelf life of up to one year. It is indeed enough to be called frenzied.
"Zichuan, there always seems to be a gap between the places you pay attention to and the places we pay attention to. If the taste of this thing is really to say, it is indeed quite good." Liu Bei tasted two bites. The apples and candied dates are both cooked and sweet. It's not low, and it has a slight taste of alcohol, which is very good.
"It's not that the things that I pay attention to are different, but that this thing is really amazing. This year can have such a long shelf life, how can I say, it can change a lot of things." Chen Xi looked serious, at least his canned food. Processing factories can't get such a long shelf life.
Even for sealed cans of glass bottles, Chen Xi's shelf life is generally only six months, and there is a certain damage rate, but six months is enough for Chen Xi to do a lot of things. It is clearly estimated that it should be nine. To tell the truth, Chen Xi is very much in need of this technology for the preservation of canned food in a month or even a year.
Although Chen Xi also knows that there is a very anti-sky preservation technology for canned crock in this era, and also knows where this technology is located, but Chen Xi can’t get it, because the major families really don’t have this technology, Liu Yan made it clear. , The technology he got for Chen Xi is already the most high-end, there is no more high-end.
Of course, when he heard this, Chen Xi actually wanted to make complaints, because when he read the archaeological news before, China had dug out earthen jars in a tomb of Chu in a certain place. According to the above description, those The shelf life of canned food should be between one and two years.
More importantly, those canned foods are not one type. There are fruits, meats, and other things. The twelve canned foods have several types.
In other words, in that era, in fact, the top-capping technology of cans was already very high. However, on the one hand, Chen Xi didn’t know where the tomb was, and on the other hand, he really didn’t know who might have this technology. Embarrassed.
So up to now, Chen Xi has made canned food for half a year.
Although this time is barely long enough for Chen Xi to rely on the road traffic network of the Han Dynasty to distribute these cans to various supply and marketing cooperatives, there are still quite fatal shortcomings if you really want to say it. The biggest problem is the risk caused by the shelf life. .
Although the goal is not to make money, it is not to make money, nor to make a loss.
But this time Chen Xi came out of Chang'an and encountered quite good technology on the road. More importantly, he used a crock pot. This is very powerful. Don’t look at the cost of a penny or two. Sometimes it’s because of a penny or two. People don’t want to buy money.
"But think about it, it is true that last year's dates and apples can be preserved until this time." Liu Bei nodded, feeling very incredible.
"This is made by the Niyang county magistrate. They grow apples and dates, but their apples and dates are not dominant in the market because the quality is not very good." Li Jun explained that since he has come Business is done here, so naturally all the investigations will be done.
Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. Although it is true that fruit trees are also planted here, because of the climate and the current domestication technology of fruit trees, the quality of local apples and dates does have certain problems. Simply put, it is bartering. When it’s time to change something else, if it’s sold, it’s actually hard to sell the price when it is shipped from Niyang to Chang’an.
"These are the results of reprocessing because of the poor quality. It is said that the county magistrate there has spent a lot of money to research on the cans and prepare to take the local to take off." Li Jun said in a tone of admiration.
Chen Xi nodded when he heard the words. All technologies need to be studied. Although Chen Xi has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct research, and it is definitely a lot more than the Niyang county magistrate, but the other party can take it out, sure. Also conducted in-depth research.
Although there must be a lot of chance in this, but if the other party can research it out, it must have been a lot of attempts, and it must be admitted.
"This thing works well, and it can indeed take off." Chen Xi nodded, while Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi. Generally, Chen Xi said it could take off, so it was really amazing to fly.
"In addition to the canned fruit, are there other canned foods that can be kept fresh?" Chen Xi looked at Li Jun and asked. He had entered the state and began to evaluate the popularity of this technology.
"Yes, there are, but they are relatively small, because there are more apples and dates, and the other ones are relatively small, and there are not many types of cans." Li Jun replied while reading from his own frame. Take out a can, a canned pickle type.
"It seems that the popularization ability is still very good. Let's go. It just happens to be fine. Go to Niyang and take a look." Chen Xi's mood has improved a lot, and the shelf life has been lengthened, which will increase the popularity of many foods. These are things related to people's livelihood and happiness.
"Walk and take a look at Niyang." Liu Bei himself took Chen Xi out to relax. Now that Chen Xi wants to go to Niyang, Liu Bei is absolutely necessary.
"Brother Li, let me tell you, really, it's really a good business to grow melons. Although canned food is pretty good, you can definitely make a big profit when you grow melons in Yanbian, NSW, or Jincheng. "When Chen Xi got up and was about to leave, he told Li Jun again.
Because I am in a good mood now, God of Wealth said, I have to milk you twice. It doesn't matter if you don't take the first bite, and I will put the second bite in your mouth.
Li Jun was taken aback when he heard the words, and he muttered twice in his heart, and finally nodded. He felt that going to NSW to grow cantaloupe is indeed a bit outrageous, but it is still possible to go to Jincheng to grow watermelons, but it still feels a bit far away. How to transport it? ?
But the God of Wealth has opened the mouth, and Li Jun felt that he still had to listen.
Chen Xi smiled when he saw Li Jun's expression, but didn't give an explanation. He was feeding the rice anyway. As long as Li Jun didn't vomit, it wouldn't be a problem to become a rich family.
Seeing Chen Xi left, Li Jun scratched his head. He had already decided to rent a place to grow watermelons in Jincheng this year.
"What did you just talk to Laosan Li?" After Liu Bei and Chen Xi got on the frame, they asked curiously, "It's rare to see you chatting with these soldiers."
"Give him a way to make money. I am in a good mood today." Chen Xi said with a grin. Liu Bei had heard this and he didn't know how to communicate with Chen Xi anymore.
"It is indeed in a good mood today, and the other party is a good person." Chen Xi said seriously, with a reduced smile, "Although he has become more prosperous, he can still see the momentum of killing on the battlefield."
"That guy is a Liangzhou guy with a lot of military merit." Liu Bei didn't explain in depth. How many good things did Xiliang Tieqi have before 190? It's just that I won't be held accountable later. In addition, I did have the merits of land expansion, so when I was discharged from the army due to injury, he was arranged as a Wudu instructor.
After all, most Xiliang people can only rely on fighting for food, farming is not good, business is not good, fighting is basically the first place, so Liangzhou people retired, essentially returning to the local army.
Just looking at this situation, Li Jun should have been in business shortly after returning home, a rare businessman in Liangzhou.
"Ah, are there any merchants in Liangzhou?" Chen Xi scratched his head, not because he looked down on Liangzhou people, but because Liangzhou people's personality is not suitable.
"I'm curious too." Liu Bei nodded.
After Liu Bei and Chen Xi left completely, Li Jun greeted his subordinates, "Brothers clean up, and we will also set off. After going to Niyang, we will go to Jincheng to harvest land and grow watermelons. This year we will not go to Central Asia to do business. "
That’s right, Li Jun can do business not because he understands this, but because he can do international trade, and can be the foundation of international trade, in fact, because he can fight, and his men can gather a team of horses and do it if he refuses to accept it. Who is afraid of whom!
The big deal is black and black. As long as you can do it, the problem will not be big. If you can't do it, you can stand it up, just shake someone over and continue to fight. Liangzhou guy, the first place to fight for dinner!
