Chapter 248: Fuhai Cooks the Pot
(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT ) "I also talked about food"
After using the business experience of a nest, after raising the heads of the shopkeepers, Li Dacheng once again said amazingly, and he also had to talk about food. (TXT )
Grain shops, granaries, mills, oil mills, these are not enough, grain can not be stored for a long time, grinding flour can not extend the storage time of grain, oil extraction, although it can be extended for one or two more years, but the extension is not long.
In addition to the road of opening a grain stack for new grain, Li Dacheng has many roads that can be used to store grain.
"Rice and wheat sorghum can be made into vinegar, beans can be made into soy sauce bean curd, second master, these are all bought and sold"
Gao Dangui, the big shopkeeper of the Jimin grain shop this time, said that it is quite in line with Li Dacheng's mind, wine vinegar soy sauce bean curd, can extend the storage time of grain, although it can not be used as a staple food with a full stomach, but this is also the most effective way to extend the storage time of grain.
"That's a good answer, but the main thing I want to talk about is wine"
Wine is a kind of drink, but also a kind of medicine, in Li Dacheng's view, wine is also a necessity of war, courage, disinfection, anesthesia, anti-inflammatory, all use this thing, and wine is also a commodity that can pass through the world, the benefits in this are much greater than vinegar soy sauce bean curd, moreover, wine is a necessity in Li Dacheng's view, sauce and vinegar and the like are not considered necessities, under the premise of insufficient food, Li Dacheng does not want to do a lot of sauce and vinegar and other transactions, it is really not possible, salt water can also be used to enhance the taste, Sauce vinegar can be without, but wine can't be without.
The current medical methods are too poor, battlefield first aid, serious injuries are healed, Li Dacheng does not have much hope, he is more concerned about those minor injuries and abrasions that will not be life-threatening.
Minor injuries and disability, in an environment with insufficient medical conditions, this is the biggest enemy of troop attrition, and now there are no antibiotics, and the efficacy of anti-inflammatory and sterilizing traditional Chinese medicine is not very ideal. Some small wounds are often overlooked, and once they become inflamed and fester, they are small injuries and are disabled.
Medical alcohol, iodophor, and red potion are the nemesis of these minor injuries, compared to iodophor and red potion. Alcohol is simpler to make, more versatile, and easier to carry.
In Li Dacheng's view, the biggest difference between disinfectant alcohol and 75-degree liquor is that one can't drink and the other can drink. Distilled liquor also makes it easier to obtain this battlefield necessity that can be effectively disinfected and sterilized.
It can be disinfected and sterilized, it can anesthetize the nerves, it can strengthen the courage and improve the qi, it can eliminate sorrow and relieve boredom, it can be stored for a long time, and there is a better way to store food than wine
"Second master, now that the food in all parts of the Qing Dynasty is insufficient, there is a clear decree on the imperial court to ban the burning of pots, most of the burning pots in Zhili have been banned, and the burning pots in Shandong are not allowed to start, and there are still a large number of places to burn pots. It's only south.
There is a shortage of food in the north, and the second master's hand is big, so much food is used in the pot, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
The person who said this is an old shopkeeper, which is also the truth of the Qing Dynasty, the pot and wine consume a lot of grain, and the grain becomes wine, which is a disguised storage way, but after the wine. This thing can't fill your stomach.
Although the old shopkeeper has not spoken much, he has said that he has been to the point, and he will be on the point in the next two or three years. Shandong is still short of grain, Li Dacheng opened a pot here, the scale is not small, Shandong is short of grain, they use a large amount of grain to make wine, this is easy to make a big mess.
"The old shopkeeper is right. This pot and grain storage, Lao Gao, you must master a good degree, when the food is insufficient, no matter how high the interest of the pot is, you have to stop working
The old shopkeeper, the grain used to burn the pot, and it's not all turned into wine, there should be something left, and this leftover thing is not a sale."
Can sake lees people eat this thing can also be used in medicine, sake lees are much better than tree bark, Guanyin soil, these things, really in the face of famine, sake lees is not inedible.
After vaguely pointing out the lees, Li Dacheng stopped talking again, and then it was time for these shopkeepers to move
"The second master means that the sake lees are used as bean cakes"
"Almost, but, can you eat sake lees every day?"
"Feeding cattle and sheep with sake lees"
"It's a good way to go, what else is there to say?"
The use of distiller's grains, in addition to eating, feeding for fertilizer, there is not much use, for fertilizer, some of the good things are ruined, now at this time, there is a shortage of grain on the surface, the lack of grain to think of supplementing edible things, grain wine, distiller's lees to feed cattle, sheep and livestock, this is a good way to transform.
Wine is stored for a very long time, and cattle, sheep and livestock can live for at least three or five years, which can be regarded as storing grain in disguise.
Speaking of which, what else can the shopkeepers below say, they did not look down at their feet this time, but looked at Li Erye in unison, hoping to hear his high opinion again.
"There is no way to make wine, our liquor, foreigners' beer, whiskey, these need food, mare's milk wine, wine, rum, tequila
Among the shopkeepers, there should be many people who have come into contact with foreign bars and haven't asked much and thought about it before."
Li Dacheng's words made the shopkeepers a little unable to raise their heads, not to mention, they followed Li Cheng and Li Liuye during this time, and they really opened a lot of foreign meat, and the wine and whiskey that the second master said, they all tasted it, but they hadn't tasted this rum and tequila.
When it comes to foreign wine, the shopkeepers here have nothing to say, you look at me, I look at you, and it's a little cold.
"Second master, Zhang Bishi, a Nanyang businessman, was invited by Sheng Xuanhuai, the Minister of Railways, to invest millions of taels in Yantai to open a vineyard and build a winery, but there has been no news so far."
After the cold scene, a shopkeeper talked about a beautiful talk he had heard, and many times doing business relied on information, and the most knowledgeable group of people in the Qing Dynasty were not officials but businessmen.
Hearing the three key words of Zhang Bishi, Yantai, and wine, Li Dacheng thought of Changyu, and he didn't know much about this, so he could only ask questions.
"Zhang Bishi"
"That's right, it's Zhang Bishi, who is said to be a rich Nanyang businessman"
"Uh-huh
Sixth, in a few days, you will go to Yantai with the boat to see if you can contact Zhang Bishi, and after you get in touch, I will go in person.
When it comes to wine, wine is not made from grain. Rum is made from sugar cane, tequila is made from bluegrass, I have pointed out these things to you, do you have anything to say?"
For the sake brewing raw materials of the Great Qing Dynasty. In addition to knowing rice, sorghum, wheat, corn, and dried melons, Li Dacheng also has limited knowledge of the rest, and when he talks about the raw materials for brewing these wines, he just wants to let these people here open up their ideas and have the best. No, that's another story.
"Second master of sugarcane-made rum, you want to talk about Lu Su."
Hearing Li Dacheng mention rum made from sugar cane, a shopkeeper with a nanyin mentioned Lu Su, what this Lu Su was, Li Dacheng didn't know.
"Lu Su elaborates"
"Lu Su, also known as sweet sorghum in the north, its green stalk is similar to sugar cane, very sweet and can make sugar"
Hearing this, Li Dacheng also had a smile on his face. This is what I'm looking for.
"Oh, this sweet sorghum, where can it be grown?"
"Sweet sorghum can be planted where sorghum can be grown, sorghum is water-tolerant, drought-tolerant and salinity-tolerant, and as long as there is land in Shandong, this sweet sorghum can be planted."
"Well, does this sweet sorghum produce sorghum rice?"
"One mu can produce three to five hundred catties"
"Well, it's him
Sixth, before the spring sowing starts, you go to the south to get enough sweet sorghum seeds, and Lao Gao, promote the cultivation of sweet sorghum for a living, and leave it to you
Lao Tzu wants to build a pot in Jiaozhou Mansion. Aren't most of the pots in the north ordered by the imperial court to stop work?
This is our chance, the sixth child, send someone down to find someone who can dry the pot in the north and south. Let's build a pot
If Lao Tzu wants to build the largest pot, who will give him a name?"
Rum is a high-grade wine that can be accepted in Europe and the United States, and with sweet sorghum, it is worth doing, as for inviting winemakers. Li Dacheng is not worried about the construction of the winery, and many things can be solved with money.
Maybe you can't hire the best winemaker with money, but the average winemaker is enough, what he wants is not a winemaker, but technology, and the technology of winemaking is similar, as long as there is a full set of processes, the others can be slowly explored.
Although sweet sorghum is not sugarcane, it can make sugar, which means that the straw of this thing is similar to sugarcane.
The yield of three to five hundred catties per mu is already considered a high yield, and with the three by-outputs of sugar refining, winemaking, and green storage feed, Li Dacheng can be sure that the output value of sweet sorghum will be much higher than that of rice, wheat, and cotton.
Now the biggest problem faced by the Qing Dynasty, is not the threat of the outside world, but the internal famine, water-tolerant, drought-tolerant and salt-alkali tolerant sweet sorghum, is undoubtedly a universal crop, with this crop, as long as the grain production can be guaranteed, the problem of grain can be solved, with sweet sorghum, the sugar and wine industry will also follow, although sorghum rice is not a fine food, but at this time some to eat is the best, better than nothing.
"The second master is rich all over the world, how about Fuhai cooking pots"
"Rich from all over the world, good and good, it's rich to burn the pot"
The word rich Sihai is good, Li Dacheng nodded happily and recognized the name of Fuhai Cooking Pot.
"Second master, winemaking is a handicraft, should we be cautious and don't make it too big?"
Today talked about a lot of business, Li Dacheng to the impression of the shopkeeper is radical, winemaking is a technical job, if it is not brewed well, it will become vinegar, generally good pot masters, are ancestral work, no one will easily take out the things at the bottom of the box, Jiaozhou Mansion has too much food stored here, there are more conservative shopkeepers, and it is proposed to be cautious in doing things.
"Well, this is not bad, we can be anxious to do things, but we must not act too eagerly.
Let's make Fuhai pot, or don't do it, if you want to do it, you will do the best, the sixth, you have someone over there to be the big shopkeeper of Fuhai pot, and the pot master you invited can't mix together and do it blindly, let them do their own thing, whoever makes the best wine, we will use whoever you can't do, and you can't do it well
is still the same sentence, the capable are the mediocre, and the business we open is the same reason, those who have no ability can only do the work that they have no ability
During this time, the sixth child, you also sent someone to go abroad to invite those foreign devils who can make wine, we don't care how much it is, as long as they can make wine
This pot has just been launched, don't be too harsh, the wine brewed can be drunk, don't act in a hurry, let's make wine first, then make good wine, and finally make the best wine."
The current grain wine is not the blended wine of later generations, compared with the long aftertaste and sweet mellow taste of pure grain brewing, the blended wine of later generations can only be described as barely drinking, Li Dacheng's requirements for Fuhai pot are also like this, barely able to drink, high-quality, superlative, there will be time to explore in the future, whether the wine can be brewed is the key to the key.
So much buying, pressing on Li Chengyou, Li Dacheng is also a little helpless, now there is a shortage of manpower, whether many things can be done or not, is still between the two.
But the pressure behind him is not small, the burden of the Zhenwei Army is too heavy, now it is the military expenses of hundreds of thousands of people, the livelihood of millions of family members, and in the future, it will be the military expenses of hundreds of thousands of elites, the livelihood of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of family members, and the business stalls are not big, and there are not so many livelihoods in his hands.
Fortunately, the commerce of the Qing Dynasty is not very developed now, and the products are not very rich, and many things can be sold as long as they are made. To be continued.
