After adding a layer of beeswax, the canned food can be stored longer, up to half a year.
This has far exceeded Yan Qing's expectations.
He thought that under ancient craftsmanship conditions, it would be pretty good if it could last for three months.
Once something is made, all that remains is how to sell it.
Preserved fruits and fruit wine are easy to say, because these products are already on the market, and customers know what they are, so as long as the products are good, it is easy to build a reputation.
But cans are a new thing, so people need to know what they are before they can open up the market.
Considering the production cost of canned food, ordinary people generally cannot afford it. At most, they only buy it occasionally to taste fresh food. Its main consumer group must be those with money.
The capital not only has a lot of rich people, but it is also a trendsetter. If something becomes popular in the capital, it will immediately spread to all parts of the country.
So Yan Qing focused his propaganda attention on the capital.
"Second Young Master, this is what Qing County sent to you."
After Ji Wenli returned home, the housekeeper brought two boxes over. After passing the Jinshi examination, he did not go out to serve as a local official. Instead, with the help of his family, he stayed in Beijing and entered the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Yan Qing sent it? Quick, move in."
"Here's a letter that came with it."
After receiving the letter from the butler, Ji Wenli immediately opened it and read it.
After reading it, he laughed and said, "I was wondering why you would suddenly send something here. It turned out that I got something delicious. Tsk, Yan Qing is such a friend! Don't forget me if you have something delicious." ”
Ji Wenli happily opened the box. Inside each box were six neatly arranged clay pots, each sealed with beeswax.
Ji Wenli followed Yan Qing's instructions, first removing the beeswax, and then using a tool to pull out the cork.
Suddenly a sweet smell mixed with a rich fruity aroma hit your nose.
In the jar, there is a kind of yellow pulp, soaked in honey water, the color is crystal clear and very attractive. Ji Wenli had never eaten this fruit called yellow peach, but just the smell of it made his mouth water.
"It's actually a fruit! This is a rare thing."
It is indeed difficult to see fruits from the south in the north. Even for people like Ji Wenli, it is difficult to eat them because they cannot be transported. Even the palace only sent some in season, and the emperor regarded them as gifts, and rewarded some to the harem.
Ji Wenli couldn't wait to scoop up a piece with a spoon and immediately put it into his mouth.
Sweet and sour, tender and smooth, the taste is sweet and delicious. Take a bite of the peach and drink the juice. The sweet taste makes people want to stop.
And although it's sweet, it's not greasy at all. Even Ji Wenli, who doesn't like sweets, can't stop eating it.
In the blink of an eye, the bottom of a can was gone, and not even the soup was left.
Ji Wenli looked at the remaining cans with unfinished thoughts. There were eleven cans left. Anyway, it wasn't enough for everyone in the family. How about...opening another can
So Ji Wenli couldn't hold it back and opened another can.
This jar is actually different from the one just now. There is no longer a single yellow peach in it, but there are yellow peaches, pears, and a small red fruit, red, white, and yellow, which looks very beautiful.
Ji Wenli tasted each one and found that they were all delicious, but he didn't know if it was because he had eaten canned yellow peaches for the first time, but he still felt that the yellow peach ones were the most delicious.
The portions of the two cans were indeed quite large. There were twenty pieces of fruit pulp in each can, and with the addition of soup, Ji Wenli was full.
Then I went to give it to my family while rubbing my belly.
Grandparents, parents, sisters, elder brothers and sisters-in-law, uncles and aunts, and cousins... This family is simply not enough!
I originally wanted to keep a few jars to give to his future father-in-law, but there were too few to get rid of, so I only quietly kept one jar and sent it to his fiancée alone.
The whole family ate it and said it was delicious, and asked Ji Wenli if he could get more.
"No, Yan Qing brought this to me from Qing County. He has delicious food that he misses me, so how can I be embarrassed to let him send it to me again?"
But the next day, his fiancée gave him a message saying that she ate the canned food with her parents and family, and her father said it was delicious.
But when he heard that Ji Wenli didn't give it to him, he immediately became unhappy.
When Ji Wenli heard that it was broken, he immediately wrote to Yan Qing and asked him if he still had such cans. He could buy them with money. He paid for all the cans.
Concubine Shu in the palace also received a can of filial piety from Liang Maoxing. Liang Maoxing also told her that no matter how much you use it to reward others, the more you reward, the better.
Concubine Shu was naturally willing to cooperate with her son, so she rewarded him a lot.
Canned fruit is indeed a rare delicacy in this era. As long as you have eaten it, few people will not like it.
Then, canned fruits became popular in the capital.
After Song Fubao came to the capital, he finally had a bigger stage to perform.
After all, Qingshan County is a small place, and she couldn't even open a clothing store even if she wanted to. After arriving in the capital, she found that there were quite a few ready-to-wear shops here.
Throughout the ages, there is only one truth that remains unchanged, that is, women make the best money.
So from perfume, to essential oils, to clothes and cosmetics, Song Fubao plans to continue to be in the women's business.
Of course, it's not that she stopped doing other businesses. She opened a hot pot restaurant in the capital.
No one can resist the temptation of hot pot, so as soon as her hot pot restaurant was launched, it set off a craze in Beijing.
Every day it is packed with guests and all seats are occupied.
The second bedroom of the Song family wanted to repeat her old trick and open a hot pot restaurant like her, but as for the recipe of the hot pot base, Song Fu treasured it so hard that they couldn't do anything with her.
Furthermore, among scholars, farmers, and merchants, businessmen are the lowest. There is a relative who is a princess. What kind of business are they going to do? They might as well hug the seventh prince's thigh tightly and enjoy endless happiness in the future.
Song Fubao revealed this to them in a roundabout way.
She just wanted to get rid of these best relatives, so she did not hesitate to divert misfortune.
Maybe it was because the temptation of hugging the Seventh Prince's thigh was greater, but this time she was really lured away.
However, the people in the second room of the main house didn't even touch the door of the seventh prince when they heard that he was despised by the emperor and was driven to the fiefdom. He had to be summoned back.
I was dumbfounded again for a moment.
During this period of time, Song Fubao had established a firm foothold in the capital, and she had almost paid off the debt she owed to her first and second housemates. It would not be so easy for them to pester her again.
However, although Song Fubao got rid of her family, her hot pot business was still being targeted.
The hotpot business is so booming, how could it not attract jealousy
The person who was targeting her was quite old.
Behind it is the Hou Mansion of Sincerity. The other party used both soft and hard tactics to buy her hot pot base recipe.
Song Fubao refused to sell, so the other party asked someone to come to her store to cause trouble. They brought a dead person over and said that he died after eating something from her store, and they wanted her to pay for it with his life.
Even the cook in the store was sent to prison.
The government was on the same side as them, and Song Fubao couldn't argue. For the first time, he felt the cruelty of ancient feudal society.
Even though she claimed that she was the cousin of Song Yanqing, the new champion of the imperial examination, and the cousin of the future seventh prince, no one bought her claim.
If she were an ordinary person, her status would still make people fearful, but in the eyes of those nobles, what does a seventh-grade sesame official who was expelled mean
As for the seventh prince’s concubine? Everyone in the know knew that the seventh prince had been tricked into choosing a princess from such a humble family, and he probably hated her to death.
Even if she doesn't hate it, she can't make any waves. Even the seventh prince would not be looked down upon by others if he was not favored, let alone a prince's concubine
Therefore, even if Song Fubao named Yan Qing brother and sister, he could not suppress those demons and monsters.
But after all, the heroine has some aura. When she was desperate, she met a man, who helped her settle the matter, protected her business, and took great care of her.
Moreover, the other party looks very handsome and has a noble temperament. At first glance, he is no ordinary person.
Then in the process of getting along, Song Fubao gradually became fond of him. The other party is also interested in her, and their relationship is getting warmer day by day.
At this time, Song Fubao found out the identity of the man, who turned out to be the sixth prince of the dynasty.
Song Fubao was not without surprises. She read time-travel novels frequently. When others dressed up as either a princess or a queen, it was her turn to dress up as a poor peasant girl.
But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, and her script was only beginning now.
Then, just then, she noticed the appearance of the can.
As a modern person, she certainly knows about cans, and she also knows that this thing should not appear now.
She immediately inquired about the origin of the can, and when she heard that it came from Qing County, she almost instantly thought of the Yan Qing brothers and sisters.
Both of them are in Qing County.
So... there is also a time traveler among them? !
This speculation made Song Fubao uneasy.
She thought she was unique, but suddenly she discovered that someone seemed to have traveled through time just like her. And this person is still her blood relative.
This feeling is like guarding a treasure, but suddenly someone pops up and says that he also has a share in the treasure. It is very uncomfortable.
And after comparison, Song Fubao found that Yan Shucai was more like the person who got the protagonist's script.
Yes, Song Fubao suspected that the time traveler was Yan Shu.
Yan Shu was born in a peasant family and was not favored by her grandparents. But her brother was young and promising, and was very talented in reading. He soon led the family away from the best relatives.
After her brother became the top scholar in high school, her identity changed from an ordinary farm girl to the sister of a seventh-grade county magistrate, achieving a class leap.
Then she was named the imperial concubine just because she was the sister of a seventh-grade official. Wasn't it the protagonist mode that made this journey smooth
And what about yourself? Except for the relatively good luck in the first few years, everything in the following years was very unsatisfactory. I also had to deal with a group of excellent relatives, and my business was hindered at every turn.
Even the relationship is not smooth. Although the sixth prince is interested in her, he has never said that he wants to marry her...
In contrast, she seems to have taken a supporting role script.
Moreover, her and Yan Shu's lives seemed to be a process of ebb and flow.
When she was lucky and everything was going well, Yan Shu was a poor little person who was not taken seriously. But when Yan Shu was prospering and prosperous, she began to be controlled everywhere and everything went wrong.
So, they are in conflict with each other, and only one of them is destined to be the protagonist
So why is it Song Yanshu
Perhaps, only if Song Yanshu "disappears" can she "grow" up...
