Chapter 55: Boiling Canned Food

Qingyun Inn, as an alliance of the Sifang Inn, is now one of the three hottest inns in Duqu County, and the goods consumption work of other inns naturally falls on their heads.

Similarly, when Shen Qingyun saw the mountains of goods in the backyard, he also began to regret buying these things, he didn't have Jia Yi's mind, so when he saw these goods, he also had the same headache as Jia Er, and finally under the order of Boss Shen, he found Jia Yi with a bright eye.

"All the grain is stored in a granary, and some of the fruit is transported to the brewery to make wine, and the rest is left here to be sold in the winter, so that it can be sold at a good price."

Jia Er and Shen Qingyun looked at Jia Yi as if they were looking at a fool, these fresh seasonal fruits, let alone being kept in winter, can be stored for a month under the scorching sun, it is already an eye-opener, and when they are sold in winter, who will buy rotten fruits.

Looking at the appearance of the two people, Jia Yi smiled and said: "Of course it's not just put it like this, it must be kept in a different way, Xiao Er, you find some people who have believed, go to the backyard of Qingyun Inn to gather, Qingyun, you go to buy the jar, the more the better, the size is arbitrary." ”

"Brother Jia, what are you going to do?"

"It's a lot of trouble to explain, let's wait until the time comes, believe me, these fruits can definitely make us a lot of money."

For what Jia Yi said about being able to make money, Shen Qingyun now has no doubts, as long as it is a business that Jia Yi came up with, he has now made a lot of money, even if it is the salt-making technique that has just been passed on, although it did not make Jia Yi make money, but it also made him have a relationship with the government, as a businessman, being able to have a relationship with the government is more real than how much money he makes.

"Okay, I'll go."

At noon, after Jia Yi had eaten, Jia Er walked back first, and the manpower was ready, including people from the Sifang Inn and people from the Qingyun Inn, so don't worry about the secrecy work.

"Okay, let's go over now."

After Jia Yi took Jia Er to the backyard of Qingyun Inn, he was shocked by the huge backyard of Qingyun Inn for the first time, it was too big, it looked like a small square, with an area of thousands of square meters, and it seemed to be more than enough to do anything here. At the beginning, Jia Yi felt that the backyards of the two Sifang Inns were too small, not enough to accommodate a huge workshop, and then he thought of the long history of Qingyun Inn, but he didn't expect that there would be such a large area.

"The backyard of your inn is really not small." Jia Yi said to Shen Qingyun who came over with emotion.

"Where, where."

"Okay, it's nonsense, let's hurry up and start, one more day of delay, and our losses will be a little more."

Jia Yi checked the jars prepared by Shen Qingyun, some were big and some were small, but the largest one was only one foot high, and most of them were half-foot jars, which were just right for canning.

In the face of so many fruits, the only way Jia Yi can think of is to make them all canned, on the one hand, canned food can ensure long-term preservation of fruits after cooking and sterilization, on the other hand, fruits are a rarity in winter, even the fruits that Li Er can eat in winter are very limited, which determines the high price of fruits in winter.

He began to assign people to set up ten cauldrons of more than one meter in the courtyard, five pots were used to cook jars, and five pots were used to sort and cook fruits.

Although everyone didn't know what Jia Yi was doing this, they still began to direct the workers to move according to Jia Yi's orders.

The piles of fruits are divided into categories, and then the core is removed, the skin is removed, and after washing, it is thrown into the pot to steam, and a pot is boiled with a stick of incense, and it will be fished out, and the ripe fruit with the soup is put into the jar, and then the kung fu of steaming and boiling a cup of tea is done, and then the mouth of the jar is covered with cloth, and then the mud is pasted on the mouth of the jar, and after making sure that it is not breathable, then people let the jar cool and put it in the cellar.

After working in full swing for a long time, when it was about to get dark, Shen Qingyun checked the first moment that was made, and found that the sealing mud was sunken into the jar, so he hurriedly found Jia Yi and described the seriousness of the matter.

"Brother Jia, the sealing mud of those jars is all recessed into the jar, I remember that at the beginning we were flat and sealed the mouth of the jar, why did this happen, could it be ......"

What Shen Qingyun wanted to say was that there was a ghost, such a profound knowledge of heat expansion and cold contraction, Jia Yi wanted to explain it to Shen Qingyun, but he thought about it, it was better not to make trouble for himself, this thing would be inexplicable for a while.

"Zi Bu is strange and confused, it's a shame that you are still a scholar, and you still care about these ghosts and gods, you just need to know that it is a normal situation, don't make a fuss."

Seeing that Jia Yi didn't want to explain in detail, Shen Qingyun had no choice but to silently recite some unknown words in his heart, and then continued to watch Jia Yi direct the workers to work.

After an afternoon of hard work, the fruits in the backyard of Qingyun Inn have been removed from the smaller half, and if this progress continues, there will be six or seven days for these fruits to be canned.

"Brother Jia, you can't do this, don't go to the bamboo basket to fetch water." Shen Qingyun was still a little worried, just boiling the jar, and then cooking the fruits, he could keep all these fruits until winter, which seemed a bit nonsense.

"Okay, let's try it in a few days."

Wrap the fruit skin, and then cook it, in addition to the hot weather, not to mention a few days, a day is not bad, it is all good, although he is in his heart, Shen Qingyun still nodded patiently, and decided to try the canned food made first tomorrow.

It was getting late, Jia said a word of casual work, and the workers, who had been busy for a long time, began to pack up their things, and then went home separately with talk and laughter.

On the way back between Jia Yi and Jia Er, Jia Er was also full of worries, so many good fruits were wrapped and cooked, if they couldn't be put in winter, the money would be wasted.

"Big brother, can you do this?"

Regarding Jia Er's inquiry, Jia Yi was not as confident as he was, and said with a worried face: "I don't know, I hope it can be done, otherwise we will die this time." ”

Later generations used metal lids to make canned food, so that a vacuum can be formed in the jar, and the metal lid is firmly adsorbed, so as to achieve the purpose of isolating bacteria in the air.

This method Jia Yi has seen on TV, that is, those who bury the wine in the ground, wait until how many years later to dig it out and drink the plot, strictly speaking, the wine can also be spoiled, since the wine does not have any problems in this operation situation, then this method of sealing the yellow mud should also be able to make cans.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, and the Lin family of four was all sitting around the dining table, waiting for Jia Yi's arrival, and the food on the table did not move.

"Why don't you eat it first?"

"Wait for you, you are now a great hero of the Lin family, if you don't come back, my father won't let us eat first." Lin Meiyu told the truth of the facts for the first time, and of course she also gained a big roll of the eyes of Old Man Lin.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, I still have something to discuss with you." Old Man Lin looked up at Jia Yi Jia Er and said slowly.

Jia Yi heard a more serious tone from Old Man Lin's words, nodded, and took Jia Er to wash his hands.

No matter what the matter is, it is the best time to say at the dinner table, on the one hand, it is full of people, and on the other hand, if things are not good, you can also use food to distract yourself.

"I want to sell this house." Old Man Lin took a bite of food, and then said to everyone slowly.

"Why?" Everyone's faces were full of doubts, and only Jia Yi opened his mouth directly to ask.

"Alas, yesterday our family died, as a businessman is the most taboo about this, although this house is my mother and their mother little by little accumulated, but the old does not go to the new does not come, our family is not short of money now, change to a bigger house, you want to do anything in the future, you can also do it directly at home, no need to go out to find a place, neither safe nor confidential."

Or the old man Lin saw it thoroughly, Jia Yi was mostly busy working outside during this time, although everything was a money-making business, but the secrecy was extremely weak, such as the manufacture of canned food, the manufacturing process was completely in the eyes of the Shen family's father and son, and there was no secrecy at all.

"Since my father-in-law has this idea, let's change it, but I used all the money in the account to buy those fruits and grains, and our family has no money."

There is no money in hand, even if this house is sold, it can only buy a house similar to this house, which is still far from the purpose of letting Jia Yi work at home as Old Man Lin said.

"It's okay, we can owe it first, and then pay it back when we have money, with the current name of our Sifang Inn, I believe no one will think that we have no money to pay back."

It's amazing, this is how to mortgage, it seems that Old Man Lin's progress has been not small recently.

Jia Yi felt that it was feasible and nodded vigorously, even if this matter was given.
