Chapter 137: Storage

"What does it have to do with preserving lychees and bamboo poles?"

"Who knows! The thoughts in the little boy's head are not at all something that we ordinary people can understand! ”

"Also, the little boy's novel ideas are endless, we can't think of it at all!"

……

Although the soldiers were very puzzled, they did not doubt it at all.

After all, so many incredible things have happened to this kid!

After everything was ready, Fan Hao and the others invited Xiao Zhengtai out.

Looking at the lychees piled up like a hill, Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help but give this kid a thumbs up in his heart!

It's really neat!

Let him find more of them, this guy picked all the lychees from Lingnan for me, right?

"Little boy, don't you know, those lychee trees are big! Several of us climbed the tree to pick it, and it took an hour to finish it! ”

Fan Hao was also smart, and he seemed to see through Xiao Zhengtai's thoughts and quickly explained.

"The older the lychee tree, the sweeter the fruit will be, and you have done a good job!"

Xiao Zhengtai didn't mean to blame.

It's just that I think it's too much, how many cans do you have to boil!

Never mind!

Anyway, there are many people who work fast, and it won't take long to peel the skin!

"Let's wash our hands first, peel and core these lychees, and put them in a clean container!"

"Send another wave of people to boil sugar according to the method I said!"

Xiao Zhengtai had already used the universal search to find a way to boil sugar last night, and handed it over to Zhang Liang immediately.

This guy is delicate, and it's absolutely no problem for him to lead the soldiers to boil sugar!

As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers were busy in Zhao Tuo's palace.

Roll up your arms and sleeves one by one, peel the lychees who should peel the lychees, and boil the sugar when they should boil the sugar!

After everything was done, Xiao Zhengtai asked everyone to set up a pot, light a fire, add water, and prepare a clay pot!

Immediately afterwards, piles of white and tender lychees were poured into the pot, and at the same time, there was freshly boiled cane sugar!

"Boiled lychees? What does this thing smell like? ”

Fan Hao and the others' faces couldn't help twitching.

I've heard of cooking vegetables, meat, and rice, but I've never heard of cooking fruit!

Isn't that a waste?

"Lychee is juicy, and if you want to store it for a long time, this is the only way now!"

Xiao Zhengtai stood on the bench with his little hands on his back, watching the movements of the soldiers' hands.

In later generations, lychees could be preserved by vacuum, freezing and adding preservatives.

But in this era, it can't be done at all, so it can only be saved in the simplest and healthiest way!

"It's called canning, and it's best to preserve the fruit temporarily!"

Since it is impossible to vacuum, the cans can only be stored temporarily, and it is impossible to store them for more than ten months like in later generations!

However, his purpose is to be able to bring the canned food to Xianyang, and it can be stored for half a month!

"Yes...... After boiling water, does it taste good? ”

"Whether it's delicious or not, won't you know when it's ready?"

Xiao Zhengtai winked mysteriously at a few people.

Canned food was a delicacy of his childhood.

When he was a child, whenever he had a cold, his parents would buy him canned food.

So much so that when he wanted to eat canned food, he pretended to cough, and he could always eat canned food as he wished.

Now that I think about it, his disguise is so fake that it is impossible for his parents not to see it, but it is just to satisfy his little wish!

"Little boy, the water is already boiling!"

Xiao Zhengtai's thoughts drifted farther and farther, but it was Fan Xu's loud voice that pulled him back.

"Okay, put it in a can and let it cool, then seal it and put it in a cool place!"

"This ...... That's it? ”

Fan was stunned.

Lychees that are difficult to preserve, just put them in a pot and boil them to preserve?

"That's right!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded firmly.

"It's a really special method!"

Zhang Liang seemed to see a little way.

"In a few days, Ben Gongzi will let you witness the miracle!"

……

A few days later, in Xianyang City, Qilin Palace.

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair, and discussed politics with hundreds of officials with a dignified face!

"Father, Erchen recently studied tactics and equipment, and found that our current armor has some flaws, and then Erchen found a lot of books and asked General Li a lot, so he came up with this improved version of the armor!"

"This armor widens the shoulders and ...... the chest!"

Ying Fan stood on top of the main hall, and there was a soldier in armor standing beside him, gesturing and explaining.

When Xiao Zhengtai was there before, he always pressed him.

As long as that kid is here, everyone won't notice him at all!

Now that he finally waited for that kid to leave, he had to hurry up and show himself, otherwise everyone might be about to forget about him as a prince!

"This armor transformed by Gongzi Fan can be described as seamless, and my Great Qin soldiers will definitely be more heroic when they wear it!"

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Feng Zheng immediately sent flattering words.

is also to play a leading role, exaggerate the atmosphere, and let the courtiers praise two sentences!

"Although Gongzi Fan's armor has made up for some loopholes, it has increased the weight a lot, and it will definitely consume the physical strength of the soldiers.

Before anyone else could speak, Wang Ben, who was also a general, took the lead in speaking after looking at the armor.

Ying Fan has never been on the battlefield, just to show himself, he is looking for loopholes, ignoring practicality!

"The most important thing in armor is to protect the lives of soldiers, even if the weight is slightly increased!"

"That's right, the two armies are fighting, there must be time to rest, and the soldiers can replenish their strength!"

Feng Zai and Li Xin immediately refuted.

"In the battle of Chu back then, General Li ran fast, but the 200,000 troops behind him were all wiped out, if you put on such armor again, wouldn't you be even more unable to run?"

Zhang Han said with a playful smile.

"You're ......!"

The ugly things in the past were ridiculed as jokes again, Li Xin pointed at Zhang Han angrily, and couldn't wait to go up and give him two punches now.

But Yu Guang looked at Yingzheng with a tiger's face, and immediately retracted this idea.

"The armor of my Great Qin soldiers is light, is it just for escape?"

Li Si's slow voice sounded at the right time, relieving Li Xin's embarrassment.

"That's right, what's the use of being light? The most important thing is defense! ”

Li Xin helped with a lot of opinions on this armor, so he highly recommended it.

"Although it is not for escape, it also consumes a lot of physical strength during the march, which must have an impact on the speed of the march, and it is easy to delay the fighter!"

Meng Yi was also very optimistic about the transformation of the armor.

"If you only pay attention to the severity and don't pay attention to the protective effect, why do you wear armor? Just put on a straw curtain and go into battle, that thing marches fast, and the trot is complete! ”

Feng Zheng replied angrily, and even raised the bar.
