207. Dairy product processing
"What a pity! When I returned to the Central Plains, I couldn't eat this yogurt! It's a shame that I can't eat such a delicious thing in the future! Moreover, it would be great if it could be sold in the Central Plains! I'm sure I'll be able to make a lot of money. Xue Xue said.
Several beauties couldn't eat yogurt after hearing it, and they were a little helpless. This yogurt can only be eaten in the grasslands, where there is plenty of dairy products and zuò yogurt can be made. Moreover, in ancient times, there were no refrigerators that could transport things over long distances. This yogurt cannot be stored for a long time, so it can only be eaten freshly and cannot be transported. Therefore, the people of the Central Plains cannot eat yogurt. Even, it is almost impossible for the people of the Central Plains to eat fresh milk such as goat's milk in the Year of the Ox. Originally, the reason why Jingwen was able to buy milk was because of the luck of shit, and some Turkic merchants sent the obtained cattle to the Central Plains, so he was able to buy milk by the way. But if it is normal, the Central Plains can't drink milk.
"Isn't there anything that can keep milk for a long time? Tea leaves can still be fried and dried, but this milk can't be made into anything? Xue Xue said.
"Ah, there it is! I've got a way! Jingwen suddenly patted his head and said.
This Xue Xue's words really reminded Jingwen. Xue Xue said that tea can be fried and dried, so why can't milk be made into finished products? This reminded Jingwen that there was a thing made of fresh dairy products in later generations, and this is milk powder. Milk powder is actually made from fresh milk, which can be stored for a long time, and can be prepared with hot water when needed. With milk powder, you don't have to worry about storing milk for a long time.
"What do you have?" Ashinayun asked.
"I have a way to keep my milk for a long time!" Jingwen said.
"Oh? What can you do? Ashinayun asked.
Ashinayun is also very concerned, because the Turks actually don't have a headache because dairy products can't be stored for a long time? Although the Turks have a large number of cattle and sheep, and there are also a large number of cows, sheep and horses that can produce milk, most of the dairy products cannot be stored for a long time. Once the fresh milk is expressed, it may have to be eaten in a short time. Even if it is made into yogurt, it is only a few days long. In this way, the vast majority of it is wasted. If you can store dairy products for a long time. That's a reduction in losses for the Turks!
"Princess Yun, do you have a lot of fresh milk here? How much is it? Jingwen asked.
Ashinayun said: "Many, many, there is already a surplus. Don't look at our Turkic cattle, sheep and horses, in fact, there is also a lot of milk. But we often can't finish it, so a lot of it goes to waste. In fact, our cavalry all use mares, because when the cavalry is running for a long distance, they can take the opportunity to use mare's milk to provide food and increase the supply of soldiers. As for the usual, we can't consume so much fresh milk at all, it's all wasted. ”
"You can have so much dairy products. So why not just drink milk to your heart's content? Liu Qing asked a very idiotic question.
Ashinayun said, "Impossible! Fresh milk should not be drunk as water. If goat milk is based on Central Plains medicine, it is a hot thing. And mare's milk is the cool thing. And if dairy products are drunk as water, it is not good for the body, so we Turkic people will not drink dairy products as water. ”
Ash Nayun is also right, although there are many dairy products, but you can't rely on drinking milk as drinking water, because no matter how good the drink is, it can't completely replace water, which is recognized in hindsight. Any drink. There are times when you are tired of drinking, not to mention that these dairy products have a lot of fat in them, which is more likely to be greasy. If you drink milk for a long time, you can't drink it. One pound a day. It's already the limit, and no amount of it can be absorbed. If you drink too much milk, you will also gain weight. Therefore, in later generations, there was a special dairy product called skim milk.
As for Jingwen. When I heard Ashinayun's statement, I was immediately moved. Because the Turks have a very rich source of milk, and the people in the Central Plains are generally undernourished. This is a gap. The people in the Central Plains need to supplement nutrition, which can improve the people's physical literacy. Dairy products are a very good way to supplement them, and the future will not choose this method. However, the only constraint is the problem of transportation capacity, and the fact that dairy products cannot be kept fresh for a long time.
Now it is difficult to transport fresh milk to the Central Plains, because it has long been stinky in the process. Even if a small number of dairy products can be found in the Central Plains, the price is so high that most people cannot afford to eat them. If dairy products are expensive, they will naturally not be able to sell in large quantities, and they will naturally not be able to improve the health of the people. And although they don't want to admit it, the Turks have eaten meat and milk since childhood, and their natural body is stronger than that of the Han people, so they also have an advantage in this regard in the war. Although the Han people can't eat meat regularly, they can supplement milk! As long as milk isn't expensive, it's completely affordable.
According to Ashinayun's introduction, there is so much fresh milk here in Turkism that it can be drunk as water, but because the demand cannot keep up, the fresh milk that cannot be drunk is poured out. And this is a big waste, if these fresh milk can be made into milk powder, then transported to the Central Plains, what a great benefit! The domestic market is very large, although the price may not be too high, but it is completely possible to adopt the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, and make a hard-earned money. What's more, this kind of strong Chinese people, this is a great cause that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future. If the people of the Tang Dynasty can drink milk powder because they are all able to drink milk powder, then how powerful the body of the entire nation is! The body of a nation represents the development potential of a nation, especially in ancient times. The credit for this kind of strong constitution of a nation can be greater than anyone else's. At that time, the population of the entire Han nationality will be strong, will it be far from the country's strength? And this can also close the gap between the Han and Turkic people, and can reduce the gap in military strength between the two sides. In the era of cold weapons that rely on hand-to-hand combat, this is an important benefit. This milk is already related to the country's century-old plan, and it must be made. A pound of milk a day, strong Chinese, this is a well-known advertisement, Jingwen has also heard of it.
", must! This business has a head! Jingwen thought secretly. (To be continued......)
