"Great Chief, are you going to the soda factory?"

After coming out of the conference room, Nong came to Richie's side and asked in a low voice.

Li Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Let's go together." ”

"Can I go too?"

Suddenly, a childish voice sounded behind him.

Li Qi looked back, only to see his big watery eyes, looking at him with a little expectation, tilting his head slightly and saying, "Let's go." ”

Because the soda factory has just been operational, it has not yet started to be shipped out, so Li Qi has been running there almost every other day recently, and they have never been there, for a foodie, the soda factory must be visited.

"Where are you going?" The chicken prostitutes who came out later also came over.

"Go to the soda factory." Richie asked again, "Are you going?" ”

The chicken prostitute immediately despised the farmer, and said, "I won't go, I will have to go to class later." ”

This guy is really the happiest teacher in the world! Li Qi sighed secretly, sometimes, chicken prostitutes teach those students hand in hand, this is really cool, as a man, Li Qi, of course, has a trace of jealousy, not salty and indifferent: "Your teaching is very hurtful, but you have to pay attention to your body." ”

"Hurt?"

The chicken prostitute didn't react for a long time, and he may never be able to understand about this, after all, he is talented.

Li Qi, Nong, and Man rode the deer beast to the soda factory, and from a distance, there were more than ten wooden and stone buildings, surrounded by earth walls to form a courtyard, which was really not small, and it was already the largest factory in the Huaxia Alliance, and it was also the only building with a closed corridor at present.

They first came to a wooden house at the door.

"This house is like our locker room."

Man said as he looked at it.

Li Qi touched his little head and said, "This is the locker room, if you want to enter the soda factory, you must change your clothes first, but I don't know if you have anything to wear." ”

Quite nervous: "If not, I can't go in?" ”

"Hmm."

Li Qi nodded.

Nong gloated: "Man, you have to grow up quickly." ”

The brute suddenly pursed his mouth, and his expression was extremely dissatisfied, he didn't like this situation very much, just as he didn't like the beast to eat children.

Fortunately, there is a set that is suitable for wearing, but it is women's clothing.

They didn't care about that, they had just put on their clothes.

Soon, the three of them changed their clothes, there was not an inch of skin from head to toe, a trace of hair was exposed, and the wrapping was tight, including the eyes, because their head coverings were all with lenses, and this lens was also ordered by Li Qi from Beibei, and Li Qi had stipulated that the clothes here were uniformly made of silk, so they were not white, they were all cyan.

The three of them walked through the long corridor to a large room in the middle.

"Wow! It's so clean here! ”

Man immediately exclaimed.

I saw that the inside was very spacious, and it was very, very clean and bright, and the people working in it were just like them, and they all included themselves tightly.

There is no way, because this factory is a manual workshop, which requires a lot of manpower, and if it is not strictly restricted, this is a big problem in terms of hygiene.

The clothes they wear now are all sterilized, and there are a special group of women to help them wash their clothes.

I saw workers working around the edge of the large circular reaction pool, and they were very calm about Li Qi's arrival, and no one greeted Li Qi, because Li Qi has been coming every day recently, and he has already told them to concentrate on their work.

"Great Chief, what's that? Why does water come out as soon as it turns? ”

Man took Li Qi's arm with one hand, pointed to a short pipe at the lower end of the reaction, and asked curiously.

Li Qi smiled: "It's called a water valve, which is used to control the size of the soda water flow. ”

"But why is that?" ”

Li Qi said: "This is complicated, if you want to know, I will take the drawings and tell you in detail." ”

"Hmm!"

He nodded forcefully.

Among the materials brought by Li Qi, there is a water valve design, which is also a scientific and technological basis, but those scientists did not expect Li Qi to use this technology to produce soda. The process of the water valve is not difficult for Agu and them, and they use gun barrel technology to produce these water pipes, because the water valve pipe is very short and does not need to drill deep into the technology.

I saw that there is a hanging capping machine on the side of each water valve, when the staff in front of the water valve poured the soda into the bottle, it was immediately moved to the side, and another worker first covered an ordinary cap, and then pulled down the capping machine, against the top of the bottle cap, and moved down to guard, and heard a snapping sound, a bottle of soda was born.

Then it was placed in a wooden basket at the back.

Seeing that there were some heavenly silks hanging on the wooden basket, Nong couldn't help asking, "Great Chief, what are those heavenly silks used for?" ”

Li Qi said: "It is used to test whether the soda is tightly sealed, if it is not sealed, the gas that runs out will make those heavenly silks flutter slightly." As he spoke, he pointed to the staff members walking around in front of him and said, "They are in charge of inspection." ”

Nong glanced at it, then nodded straight and said, "This method is really good." ”

"This must have been thought of by the Great Chief." ”

Li Qiwan was silent.

And he took them around and inspected them.

It's all handmade, and of course it's not very efficient, but it's much faster than producing wine, and if it's running at full capacity, it can produce at least 10,000 bottles of soda a day, because it doesn't take time to brew, and it can react immediately, but the bottles are limited, and it can't operate at full capacity for the time being.

And the laughter of this reaction pool is also carefully calculated by Li Qi, a pool can just meet everyone's workload for a day, and when they get off work, there will be a group of special personnel responsible for mixing soda, so the arrangement is also a secret recipe to protect soda.

But those caps are produced in a steam engine, and then they are sent here for sterilization, and there is a huge sterilization room there, but the factory is in a very hidden place, and not many people know about it.

Li Qi still doesn't want more people to know about the steam engine for the time being, because the appearance of the steam engine will still have some impact on the royal family and various races, and the current situation is very stable, and Li Qi doesn't want to be disturbed too much.

After inspecting the production area, Li Qi took them to the packaging area at the back, only to see many women in it, putting a piece of circular label paper on the bottle, because the bottle has a curve, and the label paper is designed to be just stuck in the middle of the bottle. If you use stickers, it will increase the cost.

"Nong, look, this is the Nine Star Ring symbol of our Huaxia Alliance."

I leaned over and exclaimed in surprise.

Nong glanced at it, only to see that there was a nine-star ring pattern on the label paper, and said to Li Qi: "Great Chief, why do you want to do this?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "You can't even think of this, the meaning of this label is to let those customers who drink soda know that this soda is from our Huaxia Alliance, this spread ten, ten to hundred, many traders will take the initiative to trade with us, and in the near future, every race will think of our Huaxia Alliance when it comes to eating." ”、

It's just a small label, but it's significant, and it's crucial.

He hadn't worked hard to establish the Huaxia Alliance's brand before, but from now on he had to take it seriously, because the market door of the entire kingdom had gradually opened, and in the face of a huge market, this brand was crucial. Because Li Qi knows that this secret cannot be held in his hands forever, sooner or later, the secret of wine and the secret of soda will be known, if he establishes his own brand, then he is not afraid of these, even if you know how to make wine, you can't have the taste of my brewing.

Perhaps not so long ago, the value of this nine-star ring pattern may have been the most valuable commodity in the world.

Quite a little face was full of pride.

The soda bottles, which were covered with labels, were placed in wooden frames lined with dead grass and sent to the warehouse.

When you come to the soda factory, in addition to the inspection, of course, you have to drink soda, which is a must, otherwise what are the farmers doing.

When they came out, they changed back into their clothes and went to a small house on the side.

The cottage was originally a lounge, with a small iron cabinet covered with a thick quilt in addition to some wooden cabinets of tables and chairs.

Open the railroad tracks, and it's cold inside!

Nong and Man's eyes lit up, and they saw that in the middle of the broken ice, there were more than ten bottles of soda, and this soda bottle was put on top of the ice, and it felt different.

Li Qi took out three bottles and put them on the table, and Nong immediately took one bottle at once.

"Wait .....!"

Li Qi was about to raise his hand to stop Nong, when he saw Nong directly uncover the crown with his hand.

Nong looked at Li Qi and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Qi was stunned and said, "No... It's okay! "I wondered in my heart, is it not tightly covered?

He quietly reached out to uncover it.

Man looked at Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, can't you open this lid either." ”

Li Qi looked at Man, and each other's eyes showed each other's very familiar looks.

At this moment, they seemed to return to the bitter years in the Black Rock Valley.

They were and are now the weakest duo in Blackstone Valley.

Nong habitually said, "I'll help you open it." ”

"No!"

Li Qi took out a bottle opener, pried it gently, and with a pop, the cap fell off. Then he handed it to the man, who found it quite interesting, and after priing open the crown cover, he said proudly: "Although I and the big chief are the weakest, we have wisdom." ”

Li Qi was slightly embarrassed and said, "We are not the weakest, those beasts should be weaker than us." ”

He violently stirred up the spirit and said, "Yes, we are not the weakest, the beast is the weakest. Hee-hee! ”

Nongcai didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he quickly poured a sip of soda into it, and immediately burped, and said, "This ice soda is really delicious." ”

Li Qi also took a sip and said, "Let me tell you, even if this soda is sent to the cow hump in the future, the best soda in the world is still here." ”

Quite curious: "Why?" Isn't the soda delivered? ”

"Not really." Li Qi said: "But the soda here is the freshest, and the soda that has just been produced is always the best." ”

Nong said: "If there is more to eat, this soda will become even better." ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes, got up and went to a small wooden cabinet next to the iron cabinet, and took out two jars from it.

"Is it a fish can?" Nong's eyes lit up.

Quite curious: "What's the matter with the fish can?" ”

Nong Dao: "This is what the big chief came up with, that is, to put the fish meat in this jar, the taste is very good, and it can be preserved for a long time." ”

"Really?" Man exclaimed.

"Isn't it, you'll know if you eat it!"

Li Qi pried open a can of fish, and the farmer immediately picked up a piece of fish, stuffed it into his mouth, and then poured a sip of soda into it, and the intoxication on that face was really second only to gluttony. This made Li Qi can't help but think, if gluttony meets farmers, is it a house that cannot be eaten, or is it a heart-to-heart pity?

Man also took a bite, nodded his cerebellum excitedly, and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious, this fish jar is really delicious." ”

As he spoke, his dark and shining eyes flickered, and he said, "Great Chief, can you keep the fish and meat for a long time if you put it in this jar?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "Yes." Why do you ask this? ”

Man blinked and said, "I'm wondering if we can use this jar to transport some meat from the cow hump to our Huaxia Alliance." As he spoke, he pouted, "We don't have any meat to eat now." ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Nong, what are you doing in such a hurry, and no one is robbing you." Li Qi looked at Nong with a disgusted expression.

"No, it's not."

Nong coughed and shook his hand, and after a while, he regained his strength and immediately said to the barbarian: "Man, you are so clever, Great Chief, I think this method will work." ”

Quite secretly stared at Richie.

"Really?"

Li Qi thought for a while and said, "I also think it's feasible, so let's write a detailed plan for me." ”

He said apprehensively: "Let me write a plan?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "You are a minister, and you have learned a lot of writing now, I don't think this is a problem." ”

Nong immediately said: "Barbarian, the big chief asks you to write, you can write, I believe you will do it." ”

"Oh!"

Man nodded, a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth.

Li Qi smiled slightly, in fact, he had already planned to do so, the reason why he asked Man to write this plan was to give this credit to Man, after all, the lack of meat made Man, the Minister of Animal Husbandry, suffer a lot of doubts, if this plan is from the hands of Man, and really transported a lot of meat from the cow hump, then these doubts will disappear.
