Chapter 242: If you don't move, you will do it
Looking at the rows of air-dried ducks under the eaves, Du Jun fell into deep thought.
This kind of meat was originally an emergency measure to relieve the pressure on the farm in the case of oversupply, and it can indeed be supplied to the surrounding counties and cities in a different way, but yesterday it boasted that Haikou was to be provided to the Ministry of War, so there is a very real problem in front of it, the shelf life.
Dazhou is located in the middle of the entire Great Xia territory to the east, from Anxian to Yuzhou, it will take about two months, plus the time allocated to the border guards, at least three months, three months, and now this kind of normal air-dried meat, the shelf life is more than a month, how can the shelf life be extended?
Temperature, humidity, sealing, nothing more than these three aspects.
Humidity, you can use straw, quicklime to absorb moisture, sealed, soaked in oil, or like Songhua eggs, the shell is wrapped in mud mixed with rice husks?
The temperature, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and it's also dry, so if it's transported at sub-zero temperatures, isn't it a natural refrigerator! Frozen jerky is also a way out.
At worst, there is still space to store, and the shelf life can be extended indefinitely, of course, this is a last resort.
In addition to meat, can you also make some dried vegetables and transport them over together to add some nutrition to the officers and soldiers......
was secretly pondering, and gradually had some eyebrows, "Dongjia, you look for me", the fourth uncle's greeting woke Du Jun from his contemplation.
"Fourth uncle, sit, pour the tea and do it yourself", Du Jun greeted casually.
Now there are fewer and fewer people in the small courtyard, Zheng and Aunt Liu are people who are used to working all their lives, and they are not used to being served, so the only mother-in-law was also transferred, and the pot of tea in front of Du Jun was left by Zheng when he left.
Fourth Uncle Tong smiled, it seems that what happened yesterday did not have much impact on the owner, and there is no need to say those words of comfort, and he doesn't care when he hears Du Jun's words, he has followed Du Jun for the earliest, and he also understands the temper of the owner, and he never poses when there are no outsiders, so he casually finds a chair to sit down.
"Fourth uncle, I think of a livelihood that can increase the income of the farm", seeing the fourth uncle sitting down, Du Jun said straight to the point.
Uncle Tong's eyes lit up, this barbecue that had just been launched was the owner's idea, and the farm's income had more than doubled, but he didn't expect that the owner would think of a new livelihood so soon, and he faintly had expectations in his heart.
To say that during this period of time, the happiest person on the farm, is none other than Uncle Tong, the family of four people hold important positions throughout the farm, moved to a new home, the income compared to a year ago can be described as earth-shaking, walking there are people flatteringly shouting "Tong Steward", that happy even when eating at home, occasionally think of it will laugh out loud, more than 40 years, for the first time I feel that there is a rush and energy in life, just like drinking decades of aging, especially enjoyable.
To the owner, as well as the nephew of the family, it is gratitude and admiration in the heart, without them, there would be no self today.
Therefore, no matter what Du Jun says, he is the first to approve, he believes that the owner, as long as he follows the owner, his group of veterans will definitely not be treated badly if they follow the owner to expand their territory, not to mention that the owner is a benevolent and righteous lord with clear rewards and punishments.
"May I ask the owner, what kind of livelihood do you make?" Fourth Uncle Tong asked excitedly
Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:
。
"Oh", Du Jun pointed to the eaves, "It's that air-dried product." ”
"This ......", although it is not a basin of cold water splashed, but Uncle Tong is still a little disappointed in his heart, the air-dried duck has been made for a while, except for the people on the farm who have eaten it twice, no one has moved anymore, after all, there is fresh, who wants to eat the hard duck meat, but after thinking about it, since the owner can talk about this inconspicuous thing, it must be the owner's considerations, listen to it first.
After making up his mind, he rearranged his thoughts, "This ...... I wonder what the owner is going to do, and what does the farm need to do? ”
Du Jun groaned for a while and thought for a while, "Air-dried duck and the like can expand the scope and become air-dried chicken, air-dried rabbit and air-dried beef and mutton, which can be simply supplied to surrounding counties and cities. ”
Uncle Tong bowed slightly, this is a good idea, especially beef jerky, which has been around since ancient times, but there are too few cattle in Anxian County, and they are rare on the market.
Du Jun's voice was not shocked, and he continued steadily at his own pace, "In the long run, I plan to sell it directly to the military department and sell it to the Xia Jin defenders, which will be a big deal, and it will be a long-term and stable deal." ”
"What?" Fourth Uncle Tong snapped, almost didn't sit on the ground, his expression was stunned, and he secretly painted his soul, did he hear this wrongly, or did the owner say it wrong, and sold it to Xia Jin's defenders, how is this possible?
Xia Jin's defenders, as long as they can be sent over, I will give as much as they want, this is what any conscientious Daxia people will do, but if they want to sell to the military department, is it possible?
We don't have any power, and we don't even know if the door of the Ministry of War is open, whether we are thinking a little too far.
Looking at Fourth Uncle Tong's stunned appearance, Du Jun smiled heartily, how could she not know what Fourth Uncle was thinking in his heart, this expression was the same as Song Jiang, "Fourth Uncle, I didn't say that I would be sold to the Ministry of War soon, but this is a long-term plan, and we need to plan slowly." ”
The fourth uncle wiped a cold sweat that didn't exist, and sighed, the owner, the owner, your news is too terrifying, it will really scare people to death.
"When it comes to selling to the north, there is one of the most important problems that needs to be solved as soon as possible, that is, how to preserve it, and it must be kept for a longer time, so that we can have a few more chances of winning than other people."
Next, Du Jun explained the preservation method of air-dried meat that she had just thought of, as well as the three key points to Uncle Tong one by one, and explained it thoroughly.
An hour, after answering a number of unnutritious questions from Uncle Tong, Du Jun sent the Buddha who was still ignorant, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, there is bacon in the south, there is jerky in the north, and now the next person in the family is also a few people from all over the world.
Before leaving, Du Jun entrusted the fourth uncle to call Huang Tianba and Wang Jiesheng over, and then notify all the ministers and Zhao Dazhuang to hold a regular ministerial meeting at the beginning of next month.
After pouring a large cup of tea, Du Jun walked around the hall a few times, moved his muscles and bones, waited for the arrival of the two ministers, and at the same time sorted out his thoughts again, this time not for the farm, but for him.
