"It's to give good things, the previous canned bamboo tubes, the soldiers liked it, but unfortunately there were too few, only the generals and the wounded could eat it."

Sun Keyi, the secretary of the military department, touched the tray made of tinplate and talked about the situation when he fought with Lin.

In fact, other sergeants could eat canned food, but many of them ate one, poured the can into a large pot and heated it, and the soup tasted.

Canned food is hardly frozen, the meat is tightly stuffed, the transportation cost is too high, and the value must be reflected.

No matter how you put oiled paper, glue, and tung oil in the bamboo tube, it is not as good as tinplate cans.

In the case of cold, the canned bamboo tube is easy to preserve, and in a hot position, the meat inside will ferment, and the bamboo tube itself cannot withstand too much pressure.

Liu Ren, the secretary of another military department, followed and said: "Soldiers have strength when they eat meat, and now that Daming has more meat, at least there is no problem in supplying the army, pork is not enough to use chicken, and bamboo rat meat is also okay." ”

"Bamboo rat meat is not improvised, it is expensive! Now the Huimin pharmacies in Tianfu, Ningguofu, and Taiping counties use bamboo rat meat as medicine.

In the future, there will be more places with bamboo to raise bamboo rats, and the people there will have one more medicine.

We think that chestnut chicken is the best, either beef, but unfortunately there is little beef, so we can't kill it casually.

Chicken is meat, chestnuts are called ...... Yes, carbohydrates, let's remember, is the staple food, eat a canned chestnut chicken, and eat both vegetables and rice. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang first refuted the question of bamboo rat meat, which is more expensive than beef.

It is very difficult to catch bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, there are not many bamboo forests that can not be found, don't look at the strong reproductive ability of bamboo rats, non-artificial breeding, it is easy to die.

Just as wild bamboo sunflower is hard to find, wild people have to face all kinds of dangers.

The most suitable is actually canned chicken, the braised chestnut chicken made in Xiaqiu Village is fragrant, there are no bones in the canned food, it is all chicken thighs.

When the canned bamboo tube is loaded, it is hard to press it in, and it is difficult to pull out the canned food, and the most convenient thing is to split.

The chief took over: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is a method, using starch and some minced meat, plus salt to make it, eat it and be full, when you first eat it, it tastes good, I will let people bring it, take a look." ”

Children from Xiaqiu village ran out to get luncheon meat, which was filled with spices, minced pork and minced chicken.

When things are brought, they are cut into small pieces, and everyone eats them with toothpicks.

"It tastes good." Hu Weiyong clicked his lips and gave an evaluation.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It's delicious, which one is better than this and canned?" ”

"Naturally, canned food is good, and a lot of starch is used in it, and the starch made from wheat is not as good as protein in many cases.

This thing has the taste of spices, it is okay when you first eat it, but you will get tired if you eat too much, and its cost is a quarter of that of canned chicken.

Wheat extracts starch, and its price is far less than that of meat, just look at the stuffy seeds we sell. ”

When he first started eating luncheon meat, he thought it was good, but he couldn't eat a few meals.

Luncheon meat does have meat in it, and at the same time, there are more spices, which is better than stuffy, suitable for some people to eat, and can be sold as cooked food.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words and ate another small piece, tasted it carefully, and shook his head: "The batter is not as good as canned meat, we are not short of meat, and the soldiers who eat meat, don't want this." We learned before, the soldiers said that canned fish is also delicious, can it also be packed in the iron of this horse or something? ”

"According to His Majesty's words, there were canned fish soaked in oil, canned fish soaked in water, and canned tempeh fish, and today at noon, we eat fish made of cherry sauce, which is sweet and sour."

The captain threw out a new way of making fish, the cherry jam stuffed last year, and this winter there will be a little greenhouse cherry, all fresh.

In another month, the cherries will ripen one after another, and they will have to buy more and more, and the people will make money, and the village will use it to make jam.

Now there are no tomatoes, and no potatoes, sweet potatoes, or corn, otherwise they would be used to make starch.

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed: "Let's wait and taste, canned food with fish is OK, give it to the soldiers, the fish bones in the canned food are crispy, our pressure cooker is good." ”

After the matter was settled, Zhu Wentian took his friends into the laboratory again, he didn't have time to cook, so he handed it over to the village.

The tinplate is there, and the mold for pressing is very simple, first make the shell, and then seal it.

But there is no technology for pulling cans, and cans are either opened with a knife or have special can openers.

In the past, there were some canned luncheon meats that could be turned with a key, but other canned foods could not be opened from the middle.

The chief went to take people to make a batch of canned food first, and the others used cherry sauce instead of ketchup to make fish, and the pressure cooker was used to press the bones into crisp.

Zhu Wentian thinks that it is good, the various nutritional values of cherry sauce are also high, and no one wanted to use it at that time because of the high cost.

Tomatoes are tomatoes, one acre can produce a lot, and green ones grow out while ripening, and then whether it is herring, sardines, mackerel, fish is cheap anyway.

Compare cherries with tomatoes, how much is the right price? If it's expensive, no one buys it, and if it's cheap, it's a loss.

Cheap fish is used to make canned food, tuna is actually in addition to the standard king after each catch, the normal is not expensive, this is fried by the Japanese Kou, and now the Ming Dynasty does not take the tuna seriously.

No one who makes canned food takes the nudgraft to make it, and the price is too high.

……

When noon came, everyone saw canned food made of tinplate, several, and there were canning openers, that is, can opening knives.

"Do you have to use this? Let's look at the same with a knife and cut directly. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for the chief to open the can with a can opener, and felt that the gadget was not as good as a knife.

Then he picked up the cut cover and carefully scraped it horizontally with his thumb: "Hmm! Sharp, a hundred dollars a can, we think it's cheaper, can they make this thing? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang forgot about the can knife and pondered the price, and he found that the lid in the can could be used as a mirror.

"The minister also thinks it's cheaper, at least consistently." Hu Weiyong expressed his support: "Yiren bought canned food? No, it's identity! It's status!

To tell the truth, if you don't know Xiaqiu Village, with this canned shell, the minister can give a hundred times, not the contents inside, just an empty shell.

What is it made of? Like the glass mirror, we will understand it now, it is the silver mirror reaction.

The thing in front of us, let's listen to the noun, it's called electroplating, we understand electricity, what is plating? How to plate? If you don't sell ten times, on the vast sea, you can eat canned braised pork, fragrant! Canned fruit, sweet! ”

Hu Weiyong raised the price twice, and from his own cognitive point of view, the things in Xiaqiu Village are amazing.

If it was a piece of wood, a skilled craftsman, and carved something beautiful, he felt that he could not do it, but it was understandable.

The technology of Xiaqiu Village is to conjure things that are not available, such as electric lights, what is going on?

There is also a steam engine, which can replace livestock, a sailboat has sails, which is blown away by the wind, and a steam engine it is boiling water.

The more you don't understand, the more terrible it is, is it expensive to sell a canned food box for ten times?
