On the first day of the new year, Qiao Xi didn't go to the treatment point, there were not many people there, most of the recovered people left, and the rest of the people, Dr. Cai could handle it.

"Childe, the bottle is here, do you think you want it?" Lily followed Qiao Xi today, didn't go out with her, and walked in with a bottle.

"This bottle is good, do you still have the oranges from last time?" She can't wait to try the results, and if there are no problems, then she can produce them in large quantities.

"Yes, I didn't eat much." The villagers are so enthusiastic, a gift is a full four boxes, fruit girls like it more, men will taste it, in addition to the lily accident in the post house, all men, girls also do men's dress, those oranges can be imagined, nothing will be eaten, not to mention those guards, without the permission of the master, how can it be eaten.

"Let's go, let's try." If there is, she can do the experiment first, and if the experiment is successful, then she can start making her orange juice and canned food.

Find the previous oranges, peel them and start to press the juice, with cool white boil, white sugar, and grass juice, and then pour the juice into the bottle, cover the bottle with a layer of oil paper, and then take a wooden stopper and stuff it into the bottle, wait for one night, see if it will spoil, if it is spoiled, many problems need to be solved.

In this morning, Qiao Xi repeatedly made many bottles of orange juice, and also made two cans, all of which were left for tomorrow to see the results.

In the afternoon, she let Lily set the carriage and went directly to Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi is very big, there are two guards guarding there at the gate, seeing that it is Qiao Xi, she immediately took the initiative to open the door and let her in.

"Is there anyone else in there?" Qiao Xi stepped forward and asked.

"Back to Mr. Qiao, there is no one inside." The guard stood tall and respectfully answered Qiao Xi's question.

"Thank you."

"Let's go, go in and have a look."

Since it has been decided to do the business of orange juice and canned food, it is necessary to plan out the place of the entire assembly line, otherwise in a hurry, this handful of people, that handful of people, there is no way to do things.

Looking at Zhuangzi's house furnishings, it was just enough to meet what she wanted, "Lily, you recruit more people, let's first put out the washing room, peeling room, juice room and finished product room, and when all the oranges are picked, we will start to buy them." But remember, the finished product room must be our own people, let them have half in the juice room, half in the canned food room, and when all these are made, we will take these finished products away, and we can sell them in any city on the way, and see how the market effect. ”

"Yes, Childe, I'll recruit someone tomorrow."

"Yes."

When Jun Lichen returned to the post house, he didn't see Qiao Xi's figure, and asked the guard at the door, but he only said that he had gone out, and she didn't say where he went.

Jun Lichen got such an answer, and sat directly in the lobby of the post house waiting for Qiao Xi's return, waiting from the afternoon, until the time of the lamp, the doctors who went to the treatment point came back, but Qiao Xi had not come back yet, and the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became cold, making the people who passed by the hall tremble one by one, for fear that the nameless fire would burn on their bodies, and they wanted to hide far away.

But fortunately, Jun Lichen didn't wait too long, his ears moved, he heard the sound of a carriage outside, his eyes stared straight at the gate, his face was cold, as if someone owed him a debt.

Qiao Xi and Lily came in talking and laughing, and what they saw was that someone had a blue face, and there was a cold aura all around him, and there was no one around him at all, even his subordinates Liang Feng and Liang Qi hid far away, Qiao Xi glanced at the two of them, and asked silently if something had happened? Otherwise, how could someone be angry?

Liang Feng and Liang Qi shook their heads at Qiao Xi, indicating that they didn't know what was going on, and it was already like this when they came back. Why don't you ask?

Qiao Xi glared at the cool breeze, she didn't see that someone was about to explode, and actually encouraged her to go, didn't she let her go to death, so she didn't want to go, and looked at Jun Lichen, who was sitting there with a bold face, with a cold and unapproachable look, she decided to take a detour, so as not to be affected.

Qiao Xi just took a step to the side lightly, and a cold voice mixed with forbearance came from the front, "Don't come in yet, where are you going?" "Obviously he has come back, but he didn't come in, and he was still at the door with the cool breeze and they frowned, when he was a dead man's roar, he saw that he was angry and rushed straight to the top of the clouds, and resisted the urge to strangle people.

"I didn't want to go anywhere, I just saw that you seemed unhappy and didn't want to bother you." Qiao Xi turned her head and said with a smile.

"Where?" Jun Lichen's voice was still cold and cold, without a trace of temperature.

"I didn't go anywhere, so I went to Zhuangzi to have a look, planned the place, and then it was good to work." Qiao Xi's brain moved, and he immediately guessed the reason for his bad mood, probably the biggest reason was her, she just said to the guards to go out, and didn't say where to go, so that he couldn't find anyone, so he scared people with a straight face.

"Why don't you go out and bring a few more people." After listening to Qiao Xi's words, Jun Lichen's face softened a little, but it was only some, his face was still stinky, but the aura around his body had converged a lot.

"If so many people follow what they do, they have something to do." She's not a big person, she has to follow a bunch of people wherever she goes, they don't bother, she is tired.

"Someone has to follow, too." Jun Lichen insisted on his own opinion.

"You like it, I don't like it." Born is different, the ideas are not the same, a bunch of people follow up, how can there be any freedom.

"It doesn't give me peace of mind." Jun Lichen saw that she was a little angry, and her tone softened suddenly.

"It's not that Lily is by your side, and you don't know her skills, long-winded." This man is getting more and more mother-in-law, she dares to go out alone alone, of course she has the confidence to do this, how can she do it without the ability, she loves to worry about it. "You're done." How can it be so easy to rebuild after the disaster, now the entire upstream county is in a state of depression, the mental state of the people needs to be improved, and many people still need to be resettled.

"Nope." It's so easy, there's a bunch of things, and my head is about to explode.

"Since you didn't take care of my business, I have my own measure, by the way, when are you going to go back?" If her orange juice and canned food are successfully made, then that Zhuangzi will be used as a base for the production of oranges, which will be made here every year in the future, and then sold to various places in Daqian little by little. In this way, she will definitely stay, when will she leave, she is really counted, this place is stable, the imperial court will send officials to take over here, Jun Lichen, as the hero of this time, must return to Beijing to face the saint, and report some specific things, and the two may be separated.

"I'll leave when you go." Jun Lichen didn't hesitate at all, he blurted out directly, and what he thought in his heart, his mouth came out.

"If you don't go back to Beijing to face the saint, will the emperor blame you?" This made him return to Beijing, whether it was a holy decree or an oracle, he should be on the way here, and he would be able to reach the upper reaches of the county in a few days.

That's the emperor, the emperor doesn't summon him, isn't it equivalent to disrespecting the order, even if the severity has not reached the point of beheading, but the punishment will definitely be there, he will die.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, when I came here, the emperor will let people pass the word, unless the upstream county returns to normal, otherwise I won't go back, so you don't have to worry, you just do your own thing." The one above told him to come here when he said that he could come back whenever he wanted, as long as he passed the news here to him from time to time.

In the final analysis, the emperor still understands Jun Lichen, otherwise he would not let people convey such words, so he is worried that he will leave the rod and do nothing, and it is not the emperor himself who has a headache at that time, and he doesn't want to sleep well, so he can only let it go.

"Whatever you want." He said so, what else could she say, that's all.

"When will that one of yours officially start?" Jun Lichen changed the topic in a timely manner.

"Soon, when my test is successful and the bottle is in place, it will only take a day or two." Qiao Xi thought for a moment and gave an estimated time.

"I want me to help me just say it."

"I'm not polite to you, there aren't many people coming this time, I must ask you to borrow some people." You can't do the work, but you can help manage the order, and if there are too many people, there will be friction, which is inevitable.

"When you say how many people you want, just ask Liang Feng directly."

"Yes, you can tell me when Mr. Qiao arrives." was named, and the cool breeze was not easy to hide, so he could only come out of the shadows and respectfully come to Jun Lichen.

"Alright, let's set the table in the kitchen."

"Yes, my subordinates will go." The cool breeze ran away like a gust of wind.

After the experiment was successful, the bottles were also shipped in batches. At the same time, all the people recruited are already in place, just waiting for the arrival of oranges.

Yesterday, Qiao Xi asked people to run around and spread the news that she was going to buy oranges, and at the same time added a special sentence that oranges must be guaranteed to be intact and not shoddy.

The villagers who received the news can go out with their whole family, and there are many people who can't, and some of them simply cooperate with their neighbors, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces.

A few days after the words went out, villagers sent their citrus to Qiao Xi's Zhuangzi one after another.

Some of them came with burdens, some came with hand pushers, some of them came directly with ox carts with better conditions, and some came directly with backpacks, in short, the delivery was also varied.

Everyone at the gate of Zhuangzi has been busy turning the day, while weighing carefully, while settling the money to the villagers, the two places cooperate very tacitly.

"I didn't expect a pound of oranges to be sold for three cents, and this year's oranges are definitely a big income." A villager took the silver and stood aside happily, counting the money in his hand as he spoke. Daxia Chinese Network

"Yes, one acre of land can harvest almost 5,000 catties of oranges, which is much stronger than farming." The villagers who have many orange trees at home are even more happy, and their eyes are narrowed.

"It's not, Niu Da, your family has planted five acres, this is all sold, it will cost dozens of taels, and you won't have to worry about no new house to live in the coming year."

"Your family is not bad, only half an acre less than mine, happy and happy."

"Villagers who sold oranges, please don't block the road, there are still a lot of people lined up behind here." The guards who maintained order saw that the road was almost blocked, and he yelled angrily.

When the words fell, the villagers scattered like birds and beasts, and the blocked recording became empty.

The villagers who had not yet sold the oranges looked at the people who had received the money with envy and their hearts were full of hope.

"In previous years, when those profiteers came to buy, they pressed the price to death every time, and only gave two pennies for three catties, and the price given by Dr. Qiao was compared with them, and there was a world of difference, and there was hope for our lives."

"Who's to say it's not, if those profiteers were raising the price a little bit, we people wouldn't be so miserable."

"But now it's okay, we have hope for a better life."

"yes, yes."

"In the future, if those profiteers want to buy my oranges, I won't sell them, so we can't forget our roots."

"Dr. Qiao is our life-saving benefactor, and now he is recreated, so he can't do anything to be sorry for him."

Such a discussion was not far away and all came into Qiao Xi's ears.

Sharp-eyed people saw Qiao Xi and greeted her one by one, but there were also people who didn't know him, but it didn't prevent her from being popular, and they poked their heads one by one, wanting to see her true face.

Qiao Xi greeted them one by one with a smile.

Came to the side of the acquired oranges, squatted down, looked at the quality of the oranges received, nodded with satisfaction, basically according to his requirements, the quality of the poor were picked out, put aside, the villagers knew the rules when they came, so the quality was good, no one dared to fill the number, as for those who were slightly worse, it was also a matter of no way, in the process of transporting, it was inevitable that there would be some friction, and damage was the most normal phenomenon.

After checking and seeing, I greeted the villagers and entered the Zhuangzi, where there were already about 20 people waiting.

After inspecting the factory from the inside out, he began to direct the twenty or so people to start production.

Because there is no juicer like the Celestial Empire, the project is relatively huge, Qiao Xi specially bought a few stone mills, like squeezing soybean milk, the orange water will flow into the prepared barrel, each with a sieve on it, which can well gas to the effect of filtration, whenever a bucket is full, it will be sent to the finished product room to be sealed.

From cleaning to finished products, each link is tightly interlocked, and at the end of the day, more oranges will be consumed.

"How about you taste the finished product you made?" Qiao Xi filled a cup by herself, and beckoned the workers to come and try their own craftsmanship.

Orange juice without industrial preservatives and chemical raw materials is truly pure and natural.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, and I always feel that it's not as delicious as the childe himself." I always feel that the taste of the girl is different.

"Not to mention, there are really some gaps, but this is also very good."

"That is, who can think of it, Tangerine can still do this, probably only the child's head can think of it." They have been at Qiao's house for a long time, and Childe will always have some strange ideas, and they can be done very perfectly every time, which has to make them marvel at her ability.

"Childe, do you want to bring some back to the general?" Sun Min's eyes rolled and he asked with a smile. They didn't forget that when they tried the orange juice made by the girl that day, Jun Lichen's cannibalistic eyes, eager to swallow up a few of them, didn't they just drink some juice made by the girl herself, it was necessary to be so stingy, besides, when they were at Qiao's house, they could still eat the food cooked by the girl, if he knew, he might clean them all up.

"If you like to bring it, then you can bring it." Qiao Xi glanced at Sun Min unkindly, boy, if you are too jumpy, you will suffer.

Sun Min didn't see Qiao Xi's gloomy eyes, and happily filled a dozen bottles in a basket to take them back.

"I said you brought it all, just bring a little, are you embarrassed, bring more, let Imperial Doctor Cai and the prefect taste it."

"Okay." At her command, the others began to do the same, and packed two large boxes. This box is still made of vines, just for the convenience of putting things.

When I returned to the post house, it happened that the prefect was also there, so I didn't need to send a separate copy to the prefect.

"Young Master Qiao, this is what you made up?" The prefect looked at the bottle that Lily handed him and held it in his hand for a long time.

"Yes, this is orange juice, just unplug it, you can drink it directly, how about adults taste it? If you think you can, bring some back to the children in the house, and the children will like this sweet and sour taste more. ”

Prefect Zhao did as Qiao Xi said, lifted the cork, and drank it at the mouth of the bottle, when the juice flowed into the mouth, it suddenly stabbed/stimulated the taste buds, the sweetness was moderate, a little sour, the taste was just right, "It's delicious." This should be very popular with children. "Children love this sweet and sour feeling.

Jun Lichen was not jealous this time, and his eyes were almost always on Qiao Xi's body.

After drinking the orange juice, the prefect remembered the purpose of his visit.

"After drinking Childe's orange juice, the official almost forgot about business." Lord Zhao patted his head and said embarrassedly. "General, the plague in the upper county has been eliminated, and the officials of all parties want to feast on you, I don't know if you are here, General?" Lord Zhao has had more contact with Jun Lichen during this time, and has some understanding of him, the reason why this plague incident will make such a big deal in the end is that those people reported it late, if they reported it as soon as possible, why would it develop like this.

The plague was lifted, and at this time they remembered to invite someone to dinner, the reason was self-evident, and there was nothing they didn't understand, but according to Jun Lichen's temperament, they couldn't invite this meal, and this person might not necessarily go to the banquet.

If it was in the past, Jun Lichen would definitely not go to the banquet, this time it was different, he had already adjusted the causes and consequences of the plague clearly, and he had long been eyeing those officials, but when the plague had not been resolved, he did not clean them up for the time being, and they would actually take the initiative to send them to the door, so there was no reason not to accept it.

"I bother Lord Zhao to tell them that this general will definitely go to the banquet on time, but this king will bring one more person over when he arrives. He was the biggest contributor to the plague, and of course he had to attend with him. ”

Lord Zhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, the lower officials will reply to them." ”

Without a moment's delay, he took the orange juice that Qiao Xi prepared for him and left in a hurry.

When Qiao Xi heard Jun Lichen say that he wanted to take her with her, her face brushed down.

Making a decision without asking her is disrespectful at all.

She doesn't like to participate in banquets, those official wives, official ladies seem to be very kind, but in fact, they look down on people in their bones, they are respectful and polite to you on the surface, and they don't know what to gossip about in a blink of an eye.

It's not that he's afraid of them, but it's annoying, and he can't talk to them together, what they say is nothing more than clothes and jewelry plus men, but men will mention it more vaguely, and the women in the back house are so pathetic.

"You don't want to do business here, you have to meet those people, you don't have to ask people, just let them know you."

"Okay then." After all, she is standing with someone else's bow, so let's keep a low profile.

Jun Lichen couldn't hear the reluctance in her words, and laughed secretly in his heart.

His real intention was just to let those people see who was standing behind her, and not to think that the Tiangao Emperor was far away and wanted to trouble the Qiao family.

He got the news early in the morning, because the plague in the upper county was under control, and many merchants had already begun to come to the upper county, and this banquet was just a cover for them to explore the way.

In previous years, oranges made a lot of money for those profiteers, and when they saw so many oranges planted in the homes of ordinary people, they began to use their brains to fiercely lower the price.

The little girl's intervention this time directly broke the symptoms of the fish and meat people, and they will definitely hold a grudge against the little girl, and with him in charge, they have to weigh it.

"Now there is a lot of orange juice stored in the warehouse on Zhuangzi, and I am ready to start business tomorrow." If you pile it up again, the warehouse will not be able to put it down, so you can only operate the shop first, no matter how much business you have, at least it can be consumed a little bit, after all, there have always been finished products, and you have to consume some.

"If you think it's okay, open it." Jun Lichen glanced at her and said.
