Chapter 21: The Sneaky Sister and Brother (Part II)

When he came to Zhang Lan's house, the fat boss enthusiastically helped unload the coal, and he moved the coal to the stove alone. Fortunately, she was not dazzled by the old lady yet, Zhang Lan stood aside and thought that she had not forgotten to collect the money when she finally left, and knew what she was here for. Seeing that the fat boss finally retained the last trace of sobriety, Zhang Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everything is ready now, right?" Looking at the bottles and cans on the ground, Zhang Lan asked.

"It's all right." After scanning the things on the ground, Xiao Chenxi nodded in confirmation.

"Well, okay, let's do it now." Zhang Lan nodded.

"Okay."

Turn out all the fruits you have at home, apples, hawthorns, pineapples, oranges, peaches, all the fruits are washed clean, hawthorn and oranges are seeded, apples, peaches and pineapples are pitted, and all the skin of several things is removed, and they are put into the wide-mouth glass bottles prepared in advance.

"Zhang Lan, what should I do if I don't have a steamer?" was about to serve the pot, Xiao Chenxi suddenly remembered that there was no steamer at home. Zhang Lan was depressed for a while, what is this called, isn't the memory of the robot bad these days?

"It's okay, just use the grate that usually steams steamed buns." Scratching his head, Zhang Lan said.

low-pressure boilers that do not produce steam are replaced with cauldrons; If the temperature is not enough, then use a blower to blow hard, in short, there is a way to go up, and there is no way to create a way to go up. The great chief designer once said in the * period: "The current weak link is the experiment (railway), and if the problem of the experiment (railway transportation) is not solved, the production and deployment will be disrupted, and the whole plan will fail." With a heroic wave of his hand, the chief designer opened the railway, which had been paralyzed for a long time. Very good, now with a heroic wave of Zhang Lan's little paws, the experiment is about to succeed.

Fill the huge pot with water, put the grate, put two taels of white sugar in each glass bottle, put the glass bottle on the grate, cover the pot, light the fire, and steam.

Q: What is Zhang Lan doing now? I haven't figured it out yet, of course I'm making canned fruit. When it comes to the advantages of canned fruit, anyone can name a lot, such as canned fruit has easy to eat, long shelf life, time-saving, safe to eat, delicious, low price, etc., and preserves most of the nutrients of fruits. However, many people may not be very clear about how canned food is made. Fortunately, Zhang Lan happened to know this, and she had made some canned food to eat by herself before, and it tasted quite good.

That's right, Zhang Lan started the idea of making canned fruit. The production threshold of canned fruit is very low, but the added value is high, and at this stage of reform and opening up, most of the goods in the market are in short supply, very hot, is a good way to make money. For example, the purchase price of fruit is now 8 cents a catty, and the retail price of each bottle of canned food is about one yuan, deducting the profit of the intermediate link, the factory price of the manufacturer is 7 cents, and the net fruit content of each bottle of canned food is about 200 grams to 300 grams, plus the cost of glass bottles and granulated sugar and other such as labor, fuel, water and electricity, etc., the cost of each bottle of canned food is also a dime and a half cents, and each bottle of canned food can make a net profit of five cents and a half! What a staggering number! Just by making canned fruit, a family-style fruit canning factory can earn about 300,000 yuan a year, not to mention those large canneries.

Canning factory is a labor-intensive industry, which requires a large amount of labor to do the work of seeding, peeling, and nucleating, and the labor intensity of these jobs is not large, and does not need strong labor, and the general rural women and old ladies can be very easily competent, which provides a good opportunity to make money for women who are idle at home, and can greatly promote the development of the local economy.

Zhang Lan's town is known as the hometown of fruits, with rich fruit resources, but now there is no canned fruit manufacturer in the whole town. In Zhang Lan's memory, around 1990, the town's fruit canning factory seemed to pop up overnight, and for this reason, the town's economy was very prosperous for a while. However, the good times did not last long, and many manufacturers began to use unscrupulous means to increase profits, replacing the white sugar originally used to increase sweetness with saccharin; In order to make the color of the canned food more beautiful, start using low-quality pigments. In less than two years, the vicious effect began to appear, the town's canned food industry was devastated, tons and tons of canned food were backlogged in the warehouse and could not be sold, many factories closed down, this is not counted, the most regrettable thing is that the entire town's canned fruit industry was given an extremely bad evaluation by the outside world, so that the entire town's canned food industry has not cheered up for a long time.

In this regard, Zhang Lan felt quite a pity, originally a very good opportunity for the town's economy to take off, was buried in the hands of a few profiteers who shamelessly pursued profits, and the entire town's economy did not slowly develop until the 21st century. Now that she finally has the opportunity to change the mistakes that will occur in the future, Zhang Lan vows that she must change this situation with her own efforts.

Time flew by in the small talk between the sisters and brothers, about half an hour of steaming, Zhang Lan felt that it was almost over, opened the lid of the pot and looked at it, "Yes, the sugar has melted, put the bottle cap in and steam it together with high heat, and steam it for another hour." ”

Finally out of the pot, uncovering the lid of the pot, Zhang Lan hurriedly greeted Xiao Chenxi, "Sister, hurry up and tighten the lid." "It's more appropriate to hand over this job to Xiao Chenxi, Xiao Chenxi is not afraid of this temperature, Zhang Lan is confident that he doesn't have this ability yet, if he dares to stretch his paws down, I believe that when he catches it, he can directly make braised pig's trotters.

Quickly tightened a few bottles, and the little guy let out a big breath, "Okay, you can eat it after 24 hours, and then the sugar in the fruit and the sugar in it will be perfectly mixed together, that kind of taste, Beibei, when you taste it, it is guaranteed that you can swallow your tongue when you are hungry." It's a natural green food that doesn't contain any preservatives, colorings, or acids, and it's much better than the garbage. In the future, the master will rely on this thing to fight the invincible world. ”

"That's it?" Xiao Chenxi expressed great doubts about this, "Can you make a lot of money?" So you've been busy for so long just because you want money? If you want money, you just tell me no, Mom and Dad, if I give it to your sister, I'll give it to you, wait a while, wait for my sister to go to the US Department of Defense to get some for you, and make sure that no one can find your head. As he spoke, he was about to raise his legs and enter the house, and it seemed that the eldest sister was planning to hack into the account of the US Department of Defense by phone.

"Don't, old lady," quickly pull this lawless fierce girl, if you let this fierce girl do it, Zhang Lan knows very well in her heart what uncontrollable things can be caused! What the? You don't know? OK, if you want to know what kind of chaos this fierce man can cause, just ask your old man to see what T-X did in "Terminator 3", I guess your old man will know. In the eyes of this fierce woman, the law? What's that? As Zhang Lan's protector, Zhang Lan's summoned object, in the heart of this fierce girl, as long as Zhang Lan wants, what she needs to do; Whatever you want to do, it's right; Anything that hinders oneself from achieving one's goal is wrong; Whatever is wrong, it is necessary to resolutely defeat and be eliminated. As for all kinds of morals, laws, customs, and other rules that are prevalent in society, oh my God, can you expect a machine to know so much? And the most frustrating thing is that you can't directly doubt her abilities, just think about what would happen when a super terrifying war machine that no one could handle could be running at full speed to prove its worth in order to prove its worth.

"What? Don't you want money? Xiao Chenxi was very puzzled, she didn't understand why something that was serious and simple in her case would become so complicated when it came to Zhang Lan, "Soon I can get a lot of it." ”

"Uh," Zhang Lan had to smile wryly and lie, fuck, lie to a machine? Why does it feel so awkward, Zhang Lan was thundered by herself, I don't know if Xiao Chenxi has the function of a lie detector? "I prefer the process of making money, so we want to make money legally. As for going to the U.S. Department of Defense to withdraw money," Zhang Lan smiled evilly, "When they were going to fight, we secretly got a little back from them, and when they were fully prepared, they suddenly found that the money was much less, which completely disrupted their deployment." You say, will they jump to their feet in a hurry? Wouldn't that be much more enjoyable than taking money in normal times? ”

Hehe, it's the Gulf War in a few years, and when the war is about to begin, let Xiao Chenxi pull out a part of the war funds from the U.S. Department of Defense, and spoof the Americans all at once, and let the Yankees squat in the corner with their heads in their hands and cry while drawing circles. Well, even for the sake of peace-loving people all over the world and poor Saddam's classmates. Zhang Lan thought evilly.

"You smile so cunningly, the smile on your face is so evil," Xiao Chenxi was startled when she saw the strange expression on Zhang Lan's face, and quickly jumped a few steps back, and the beautiful Qianqianyu patted her cute little chest with a scared hand, "It's scared that people's hearts and livers jump." ”

Do you also have a careful liver? Zhang Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes, she lost to you.

After a few bottles of canned food cooled down, the sister and brother took it to the bedroom and hid it, ready to surprise the old man and mother tomorrow night, of course, by the way, they also talked about the conditions, the conditions of cooperation.
