……

Early the next morning, Lin Xiao and his entourage went to the canned fish factory on the west bank of the Qinjiang River.

According to the prior agreement, this factory is the same as other factories, although the troops do not participate in the operation, they also contribute half of the capital and occupy half of the shares, plus the front-line troops urgently need to solve the nutrition problem, so Lin Xiao must go to see it, and try to help solve any difficulties.

Along the way, the market in Qinzhou City is very lively, the people coming and going on the street are bustling, and there are many more shops and stalls along the street than before, which seems to be much more prosperous than Nanning City.

Looking at the passers-by with ruddy faces and beaming joy, as well as the shops trying their best to do business, and seeing the soldiers walking by without being afraid at all, Lin Xiao was full of emotion.

Four months ago, when I first came here, there were not only few pedestrians on the street, but they all looked panicked, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, they would be full of vitality again.

The Chinese people do have a very strong vitality, but as long as they are given a little sunshine, they can shine, and soon after the suffering, they will flourish like weeds.

"Master Hou, the factory has been closed for the past few days, and many of the workers recruited by the refugees have time to play on the streets."

Nangong Qiang, who came to greet Yu Gui, saw Lin Xiao's expression and whispered with a smile.

"Yes, depending on the situation, you really don't owe them wages."

Lin Xiao teased with a smile.

"Hou Ye said with a smile, the people who have fled here are all hard-working people, can you watch them hungry? Every time we recruit someone, we are paid one month's salary in advance. ”

Nangong Qiang replied with a smile, even if the rich people fled, most of them followed the emperor to Nanning, and the people who came here were desperate and poor.

Lin Xiao nodded and said:

"In just a few months, so many refugees have been able to stabilize and live in peace and contentment, and you have done a lot of work."

"Hou Ye praised it falsely, it is his duty to save the needy,"

Nangong Qiang arched his hand and said, "Originally, we should have contributed to the disaster relief, but now we have set up a factory according to the instructions of the Hou Ye, but we have not lost our money, and even their temporary settlements are all built with the help of the military masters, and it is all the credit of the Hou Ye." ”

Eh, this guy, it turns out that his mouth is so sweet?

This doesn't look like a swordsman at all, he's clearly a rich man who is good at firing sugar-coated cannonballs!

Lin Xiao waved his hand again and again, smiled and stopped answering, and arrived at Yu Gui's workshop after a while.

There are several rows of large stoves burning in the workshop, cutting the hairtail into large sections, boiling them in a large cauldron, and then changing to low heat and slowly simmering.

Lin Xiao walked to a big stove, several guys were making the pot, Lin Xiao saw that these hairtail fish were boiled.

Yu Gui took advantage of this time to explain: "Braised condiments, but the smell of sea fish is big, if it is not braised boiled, the taste is not good, and those buyers don't like to eat it." ”

By this time, the men were already sandwiching the hot pieces of fish, carefully putting them into clay pots, then closing the lids and carefully sealing them with an unknown paste.

"The inside of this clay pot must be cleaned, otherwise it will be unhygienic and easy to rot the fish." Lin Xiao pointed.

"Naturally, this clay pot must not only be washed, but also boiled in boiling water, and must be filled while it is hot, and then sealed immediately, so that the fish is not easy to spoil."

Yu Gui raised his hand and pointed to a group of guys who were boiling clay pots in front of a large cauldron not far away, nodded and smiled.

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, in this era, it can only be used in this primitive way to extend the preservation time, this kind of canned food has relatively high requirements for conditions, if it is scattered in various households to process, the final things will inevitably be uneven, neither big nor good, if you eat the stomach of the diner, the reputation will stink, and the whole industry will be finished.

Now it seems that Yu Gui, a large-scale factory, has an advantage in this regard, in the words of later generations, that is, it has unified ingredients, unified utensils, and unified quality standards.

"What is this mud seal made of?"

"Lord Hui, this mud is made of lime, tung oil and hemp wool, which is made together after mashing, which dries quickly and is not easy to crack, and the sealing effect is not bad."

A middle-aged man with rough hands and feet had just finished the sealing process of a can of fish, and bowed down when he heard the sound.

While speaking, another guy neatly pasted a note on the clay pot, and Lin Xiao read the four words written on it clearly: "Braised hairtail fish".

"Master Hou, what I made today is braised hairtail, these are other flavors, they were just made a few days ago, this is fried, you can taste it."

Coming to a pile of finished cans, Yu Gui opened the sealing mud of one of the clay pots, and a pungent fragrance came out.

Lin Xiao took the chopsticks, took a piece out, closed his eyes and tasted it slowly, the meat was delicious, crispy and delicious, and even the fish bones were crispy.

"Yes, that's ...... What fish? ”

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and asked suspiciously, ...... this fish

"Master Hou, this is fried phoenix."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but step forward and look at the note on the clay pot.

"Phoenix? …… It's anchovies, right? ”

"That's right, Master Hou,"

Yu Gui saw Lin Xiao's expression, his heart was relieved, and he said proudly, "This fish is also called anchovy, living in the shallow sea, every March, it will go up the river and enter the freshwater area to give birth, and the fishermen in the suburbs will open their nets to catch in the estuary, this fish has many seeds in the belly, the meat is delicate, especially suitable for going to the head and frying, it tastes fragrant and crispy, delicious and delicious." ”

"Well, sure enough...... It's delicious. ”

Lin Xiao almost blurted out, "Sure enough, it's canned anchovies."

No wonder the taste is so familiar, this kind of fish, the Yangtze River estuary can be more than the Pearl River Basin, as a Jiangsu, he has eaten a lot in later generations.

"Come on, come on, you all come and taste it together and see how it tastes."

Lin Xiao continued to move his chopsticks while smiling and beckoning Zhang Chenfeng and the others behind him.

If the output of such delicious canned food can go up, not only will the nutrition of the troops be guaranteed, but it will also be sold to restaurants in various places in the future, and it will definitely be an instant hit.

That's the source of money!

As a result, Lin Xiao greeted for a long time, only Zhang Chenfeng and Duan Zhenghong stepped forward to taste it, but He Shouxin, Yu Cheng, Wang Dong and others just smiled and watched the excitement, our commander-in-chief is a foodie!

Especially Yu Cheng, with a smile on his face but not moving his legs, this is not on the front line, how can the family have dinner with the coach, in front of Yu Gui, he feels that he has to abide by his duty more and more.

"Shopkeeper Yu, let's have a can first, I'll take it back and taste it slowly?"

Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, saying that she had to bring a can of this good thing to Lu Hua, if she ate it, she might be happier.

People who are in love, when they see good things, they think of offering treasures!

Seeing this, Yu Gui hurriedly opened another jar, "Master Hou, this altar is soy fish, can you taste it again?" If you feel good, take back a few more jars of each of them. ”

"Oh?"

Another burst of fragrant fragrance wafted in, Lin Xiao couldn't help but lean over and smell it, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, this time it was a large piece of dried fish, but the taste was different from the one just now, with a slight sour and spicy taste.

Seeing Lin Xiao's intoxicated face, Yu Gui hurriedly explained: "The method of this fish is different, first add water to boil with refined salt and sugar, ginger, cinnamon, tangerine peel, bay leaf and other condiments, and then add good mushroom soy sauce and tempeh, it covers the fishy smell of the fish itself, and it tastes fragrant." ”

"Hmm...... Fragrant! ”

Sure enough, he couldn't eat the fishy smell at all, Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "Although it is a little salty, it is just a good dish for dinner!" ”

"Yes, a little more salt,"

Yu Gui smiled awkwardly, "This is also a last resort, so that it can be preserved for a long time." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, this method is not like fried anchovies, it is easy to spoil without adding a little salt.

Thanks: 10,000 rewards from the alliance leader "Love is an eternal topic"! Thank you!
