"Fourth Lady, I am responsible for buying wild jujubes..." Chen Qing rushed to speak and explained: "I know which wild jujubes are the most sour and crispy in the east and west cities. If I want to make a sweet and sour jujube cake, sour and crispy jujubes are the most suitable."

Chen Qing is good at eating and knows how to eat.

He said he knew which jujube was the most sour and crispy, and he couldn’t go wrong.

Song Hao froze slightly.

She can't choose wild jujubes, but she can use her mind-reading value to exchange for wild jujubes.

but…

This is not necessary!
"Boss, buy more and I'll make them for you." Yuniang took over the conversation and solved Song Piao's problem. She knows... Chen Qing is a psoriasis that cannot be driven away or thrown away. "Remember to buy more pears and make frozen pears when the snow falls. After winter, we can't eat fresh fruits and vegetables, so let's freeze more frozen pears."

Into winter.

It’s hard to get a bite of fresh fruits and vegetables in Beijing.

All that is edible are pickles, dried vegetables and mustard.

Even the royal family would find it difficult to take a bite of fresh fruit.

think about.

Song Hao thought of canned food.

Canned fruits, canned meat, canned fish…

These are rare for ordinary people, but... the most important thing for wealthy families is money. Anything that can be done with money is nothing.

Song Hao raised his head and scanned the people in the dining hall.

In the house, the one with the lowest official position is undoubtedly Song Hier.

Song family, a noble family.

but…

The Song family has a matron of the Zheng family, the Zheng family in Rongyang.

If you are short of money, it is impossible to be short of money.

If the fruit can be sold for more money, ordinary people can save more money. With this money, they can buy two more clothes for the winter.

"If...I mean if there is a way for everyone to eat fresh fruits in winter, would you be willing to spend more money?" Song Hao considered it and said.

She took out the structural diagram of the fire kang and gave it to Emperor Jianyuan.

A few days ago…

The Ministry of Industry, together with the craftsmen from the Manufacturing Office, successfully built the fire pit.

these two days.

Emperor Jianyuan would issue an order to the court to urge the people to build fire pits to keep out the cold in winter. Now that there is a fire bed, eating and drinking should also be put on the agenda.

From an economic point of view, money can only create value if it flows.

Winter is approaching.

For the rest, Song Hao can't help at the moment.

but…

Once the concept of canning was proposed.

I believe the people will also benefit.

Of course, just like the fire-kang fortress building, the private sector will be affected to some extent. However, the future prospects are definitely bright.

The appearance of the fire bed.

It will definitely hit the woodcutter and the charcoal seller.

However, compared to the heated kang, it is not difficult to survive this blow. The woodcutter cannot chop wood, the charcoal seller cannot burn charcoal, but they can learn to build a kang...

Besides, the fire pit also requires firewood.

And coal.

If you can't cut firewood, you can dig coal.

The fire bed cannot replace the charcoal basin, and there will still be demand for charcoal in the market.

"Fourth Lady, are you serious?" Chen Qing's face changed suddenly and she said seriously.

Cui Muqing's eyes were tinged with passion as she looked at Song Ting. Does she know the meaning behind these words? "Fourth lady, if you can eat fresh fruits in winter, I think... even His Majesty will be tempted. What you said before "Huo Kang, Your Majesty has asked the Ministry of Industry and the Construction Office to report that they plan to promote it throughout the Northland in the past two days, and the Ministry of Rites is already preparing your reward from the County Lord..."

heard.

Everyone looked at Song Hao with awe.

How cold is the winter in Northland...

No one knows better than these people living in Northland.

With the emergence of the fire kang, no one will freeze to death in the Northland from now on.

No one in the court has any doubts about the reward promised by the county master today.

——Without him, it’s because Song Heng deserves it. "Hmm!" Song Tiao hummed in a low voice and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to eat fresh fruits in winter. The ice cellars in the homes of noble families store fruits and vegetables before winter, but... this method is expensive, and ordinary people can't. We can't do it. If... we remove the pits from the fruits, pickle them in sugar water, and make them canned..."

Like a wall of fire…

Rich families have buildings.

It’s just that it’s difficult to promote.

The most difficult thing about canning is how to seal it and preserve the expiration date of the food in the can as much as possible.

In this regard.

Song Hao was not worried.

"Canned food preserves wine like wine jars in a wine cellar?" Sun Shaoqing reacted quickly, drew inferences from one instance, and used wine as an example.

Song Hao nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

This way of eating fruits has always existed in Dazhou. However, no one has ever thought of using this method to preserve fruits so that they can still have a bite of delicious fruits in the winter when everything is withered.

"Canned fruit, canned fish, canned meat..." Song Tiao said: "In the "Essential Art of Qi Min", there is a method of urn meat: mix it, put it in the inner urn, seal the head with mud. And the method of fish bream is: one layer Fish, a layer of rice, press with your hands to make it tight, close the lotus leaves, and seal with mud to prevent air leakage."

then…

Song Hao paused for a moment and then said:
"There is also a sealed bottle of pears: first make a bottle (salt the fruit), use small pears, water stains and mud in the bottle, from autumn to spring, to mid-winter, you can also use them. Then: peel them , cut it into thin slices, add pear juice to it, add a little honey to make it sweet, and seal it with mud."

This said.

Suddenly, everyone looked at each other.

In the dining room.

Except for Yu Niang, Shi Ling and Xi'er, who is not a person who is well-read in poetry and books.

"Essential Techniques for Elevating the People"

This book is out of reach of ordinary people.

but…

They have all been exposed.

It’s just that they pride themselves on being scholars.

He read the Four Books and Five Classics, and "Essential Art of Qi Min" was not recognized by orthodoxy. Few people who read can read it carefully and carefully, let alone understand the intellectual content inside.

"Thank you, Fourth Lady, for waking me up!" Chen Qing said seriously.

Bend over and bow.

This scene.

Song Hao was immediately frightened and jumped up.

How could she, a promotion official with no character, afford the courtesy of Chen Qing, one of the Nine Qings? !

Sun Shaoqing sighed: "It's useless for us to call ourselves scholars!"

"Sun Shaoqing, could you please write a note for the Fourth Lady? I'll go to the palace later," Cui Mu said. Song Tao mentioned the three methods of meat in jar, fish vinegar and pear. These three methods can be evolved into sealing meat and fruits.

This is no small matter for Da Zhou.

What’s more…

Furthermore, these three methods can be used for army food and fodder.

Song Hao may not have thought of this level.

In the dining hall, Chen Qing, Sun Shaoqing and other officials must have thought of it immediately. The agility of powerful bureaucrats is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Like Song Hieragi…

The first time is to let the common people have a bite of fresh fruits and vegetables in winter.

But the powerful bureaucrats are different.

They were thinking about food and fodder for the army, how to raise money and collect taxes, etc.

Different levels, different statuses.

Everything you think is different.

However, one thing is the same.

They all want to make Dazhou strong, and they want the people of Dazhou to be well fed and drink enough so that they no longer suffer from hunger and cold.

"Yes." Sun Shaoqing responded.

At the moment, I don't care about arguing about eating jujube cake.

Sun Shaoqing turned around and headed to the main office hall.

Seeing this, Cui Mu looked at Zhao Sichen and other Dali Temple officials, and said: "You send people to the east and west cities to buy all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the market, and then have people send them to Dali Temple to hand them over to Yu Niang. To take care of it, the boss ordered the cooks in the official kitchen to cooperate with Yu Niang and take time to experiment with making cans..."

"Good." Chen Qing touched her palms and agreed happily. (End of chapter)
