Chapter 82: Canned
As soon as Ying Qi said this, Li Hang's face suddenly became strange.
"There is no such thing as a surefire deal in this world." Li Hang smiled faintly, but it reminded him of something interesting.
Steamed buns and pancakes can make money, soap can also make money, what if you make MSG yourself?
Although Donglin Port is a good place, it is not a seaside.
However, this port is not much distance from the sea, how far is Tianjin to Beijing?
It's not easy to eat some seafood on your own, but what if it's dry?
For example, salted fish or something, this can still be bought, but there is another thing by the sea that is absolutely not to be missed!
What is it?
Sea intestines!
This thing is said to be natural monosodium glutamate, the secret weapon of the Shandong chef of the XX Dynasty to dominate the imperial dining room.
If you can pull a cart, this thing should be easy. But this saves ......
Do you really want to make canned food?
Looking at the two people staying at home, Li Hang narrowed his eyes. "Two generals, if you don't dislike it, I have a way to make the soldiers eat meat, especially those soldiers at the border, I know that it is not easy to store vegetables in these years, there are not many vegetables to eat in winter, but this method requires a little ......"
Li Hang rubbed his hands, then the meaning is very simple, I don't have money and want to eat meat?
Now I still have pottery in my hand, so I can make real canned food by making the kind of jar that used to make sauerkraut at home, but when I seal it, I can use wax to make real cans.
Although this kind of pottery canned food may have the problem of poor sealing ability, it can at least be carried for a while.
Because of the weakness of vegetable storage technology in these years, most of the things we eat now are seasonal vegetables, not to mention vegetables in winter, even tea leaves have to be chewed and eaten.
Why? Without the addition of plant fiber, the intestines tend to stagnate and cannot properly banish those digested things.
Because of this, winter vegetables become invaluable.
"Do you really have a way?" Ying Qi looked at Li Hang with a surprised expression.
Pouting, Li Hang sighed indifferently. "It's easy to say this thing, it's hard to say it, after all, it's related to what I just said, didn't I just say a high-temperature antivirus? The spoilage of the food is also related to it, and if the food can be stored in a completely airtight container and then steamed at high temperatures, it can be left for a longer time. ”
Win stood up suddenly. "Li Xiucai taught me!"
Seeing his excited appearance, Li Hang motioned for him to sit down quickly. It's so exciting.
"I've already made wax, so the most suitable materials for sealing and sealing are also ready-made, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, I can help you make these things!"
"Okay, if there is no war in the north, this king will live here! The king wants to see what he does! ”
Li Hang laughed. "If this method can be achieved, then the people of the Great Win Dynasty will be able to eat vegetables in winter!"
After finding a few masons and asking them to fire some clay pots, and after drawing the pictures, Li Hang directly nodded at it. "You don't need to paint and don't need to be exquisite, you just can load things, just make sure that the water doesn't leak!"
This jar is similar to the jar I remember my grandmother used to make capers, which is called a dipping jar at home, and it is specially used to make sauerkraut.
There is also a ring of platform-like things around the edge of the opening on the top.
When making capers at home, it is to put down the beans and add a little water, and then cover the lid, and add water to this circle of platforms to form a closed environment, and finally the capers will be formed.
Now only a steaming process is needed and then sealed with wax, which creates a sterile environment that can greatly extend the shelf life of food.
Although it can't be the same taste as a can in later generations, it should be the same after being opened for half a year.
Not to mention anything else, as long as you can survive the summer and winter, as long as you survive the winter, there will be fresh vegetables as soon as spring begins.
Just survive the winter!
After a few days of firing, Li Hang tried to make a few jars of vegetables, all of which were green vegetables boiled in salt water, and then threw them in, stuffed a jar, added water to steam and boil, and then covered the lid, and dripped wax in the place where water should have been added, sealing the entire bottle mouth.
"That's it?"
"Yes! If the weather is a day of vegetables, you can't eat it, this jar we open after seven days, over there after a month to open, and then the third jar is three months later, if a month is completed, then I will do a lot of here! ”
If you can survive a month, then three months will definitely be no problem.
Ying Qi nodded and summoned Wang Xintian over.
The originally majestic county is now running around like a dog.
"These victims of Donglin Port, where do they come from and where do they go, if you let me know that this Donglin Port is occupied next time, then it will not be kneeling here for three days, be careful that your black yarn does not protect people's heads from landing." Ying Qi snorted coldly.
A few days ago, he received news from all over the country one after another, almost all of them were the same news, the remnants of the previous dynasty were causing trouble in the northern cities.
However, it was quickly suppressed.
The defenders everywhere are prepared, and they can't make any waves.
But there is one news that is quite troublesome, the tribes of the steppe are moving.
The barbarians are going south again!
This is the worst news Win has ever received.
At this time, the people of the steppe mobilized, which means that they will inevitably attack the north this autumn.
And this time, there are still the remnants of the previous dynasty, and now he can only write to Emperor Yingwu, asking him to deploy more manpower to cooperate with the border army to assist in the defense.
And Li Hang here because he pacified the chaos of these remnants of the previous dynasty, he wanted to reward this talent well.
"Come on!" looked at Li Hang, who was sitting in front of him with a spoon and scooping crushed ice into his wife's mouth.
Win Qi felt the corners of his eyes twitch.
Nima's war in the north is coming, you actually eat ice here?
Hurriedly went up, grabbed a few ice lumps from Li Hang's bowl and stuffed them into his mouth, deliberately biting them rattle.
Win Qi scolded the outside. "What about the cows that were rewarded to you a while ago, why don't you see them go to plough the land?"
"Cultivated land? Oh! Those cows, one has to pull the mill, and the other has to produce milk! Compare the exquisite! ”
Precious?
The corners of Yingqi's eyes twitched, you still know how precious you are!
"Master! Here comes the milk! Wang Dali walked in with two buckets of milk and an excited face.
This is what Li Hang asked.
"Yes! Just leave it here, and I'll make something delicious in a minute! Something perfect for summer! ”
