Chapter 169 Canned Fruit
Zhong Jing is a man of hard work, he does what he says, and immediately gives orders.
The sergeants are very lively at this stage, there are people working everywhere.
Zhao Liya has explained all the things that should be explained clearly, and now I will wait a few days to see how the canned food is.
Open a can first in a few days, if there is no problem, then it proves that her thinking is basically correct. She took three cans home and waited about two months before unpacking them. If there is no problem, you can officially prepare.
There is nothing else to do these days, so Zhao Liya and Shu Yan play in this area, research and cook some dishes by the way, and feel at ease.
Five days later, Lin Mo, Yu Xiaofang and the others finally came out of the mountain.
Yu Xiaofang obviously gained a lot, and he smiled happily.
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "It's really the right time for you to come back!"
The cans are just ready to be opened and tasted.
Called Zhong Jing together, Zhao Liya opened the can with anticipation and nervousness, scooped up a little for each of them with a small bowl, "Taste how it tastes, everyone!"
Yu Xiaofang smiled, "Did Xiaoya and sister-in-law make delicious food again? It's really the right time for us to come back, haha!"
Everyone tasted this canned coconut. It was sweet but not greasy, smooth, and full of coconut flavor. It was indeed a very popular dessert. Where there is none, there is still a big market.
"It's delicious, it's really good!"
"The taste is very sweet, and I think it's good too."
"If it can be sold to the Jiangnan area, there is no need to worry about no sales."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "I think so too."
If you take the sea route here, it is not difficult to go to Jiangnan. The Jiangnan area is designated as the main sales area, and the north is positioned as "rare things are more expensive", and there will definitely be sales.
In this way, these lychees will not be wasted.
Zhong Jing also thinks this canned coconut is delicious, but—
He wondered: "What does this have to do with litchi?"
Didn’t you say you want to help him solve the litchi problem? But this is coconut.
This is Shu Yan know!
Shu Yan smiled and said: "General Zhong, this coconut can do this, and so can lychee! So, it's the same."
"Ah! Look at my brain!" Zhong Jing suddenly realized and patted his forehead. He is good at this. He never minds others saying that he doesn't understand, and he accepts opinions with an open mind.
Zhong Jing laughed happily and said, "That's right, in this way, the litchi will be solved. Sister Xiaoya, can all fruits do this?"
Zhao Liya smiled and shook her head: "Of course not, how is this possible? But lychees, coconuts, pineapples, and yellow peaches are all fine, and they should all taste good."
Yellow peaches are fine, not too many.
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "It's still too early to do this, don't worry. Wait and see. If it's really possible, I'll come over again and tell you how to build a workshop. A workshop for canning , and a workshop for firing porcelain pots. Brother Zhong can secretly inquire about the craftsmen who make porcelain pots. It doesn’t have to be beautiful, it just needs to be useful. If you want to make money from this, you have to take care of the lychee forest, weeding, cultivating soil, or pruning branches, etc., you can’t rely on the sky alone.”
It's not easy to rely on the sky alone.
Zhong Jing nodded. Anyway, so many people are idle, half of them practice daily, and the other half go to work, just right.
Zhao Liya said again: "There is another problem, which is transportation. Brother Zhong, don't you have several boats under your hand? You might as well try to go up the coast and go north, and see how long it takes to get to Hangzhou? See if you can Find a safe route."
As soon as Zhao Liya said this, everyone looked at her in a daze, but she was taken aback, and asked inexplicably, "You guys, what's the matter?"
"Sister Xiaoya!" Zhong Jing's voice sounded a little off the ground, "Going north from the Guangzhan port, can you really, really reach Hangzhou City?"
Yu Xiaofang also said: "Yes, can we really go this way? Is it far away?"
Now it's Zhao Liya's turn to be surprised!
Ah, this—doesn’t they all know?
She had no choice but to explain vaguely: "Some miscellaneous geography books I read said it was fine, but I don't know the real situation."
Zhong Jing couldn't wait to say: "This is easy to do, I will ask someone to try it! If it is really feasible, that would be great! Sister Xiaoya, thank you very much!"
"I didn't help much, but I just talked about it." Zhao Liya pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Zhong told people to be careful when they asked people to try it. It's best to hire a few experienced fishermen. Maybe their The information will be more authentic and detailed.”
Every row is like a mountain, and the fishermen who live by the sea naturally know more than them.
It may not be that fishing boats that have never been to the south of the Yangtze River have visited this piece of sea area, but there is no official jurisdiction, let alone special personnel to intervene, and the people will naturally not take it seriously.
As for Zhong Jing, he is guarding here for no particular reason, and of course he doesn’t care about the sea—he can’t do it on land!
After all, he is so poor.
Zhong Jing was completely convinced by Zhao Liya, and nodded without thinking: "Okay, okay, just do what Xiaoya sister said!"
Zhao Liya thought for a while and then smiled: "I think, let's plant two or three hundred acres of pineapples. If the route is confirmed, the pineapples can be stored and transported, and they can be transported to Jiangnan for sale. At that time, there will be fresh ones Coconut, jackfruit, dragon fruit, etc., I think you can try them all.”
Zhao Liya has a vague impression that from here to Hangzhou, the sea route is about 700 nautical miles, and if converted into kilometers, it is close to 1,500 kilometers.
The speed of Zhong Jing’s big ship is still very good. I saw it when I went to Hainan Island. It was about 30 kilometers per hour at a slow speed, and it could reach 40 kilometers or more at a fast speed.
Calculated in this way, even counting the break-down time at night, as long as it goes well, within two or three days, you can reach Hangzhou City from the port of Guangzhan. Isn't it much faster and more convenient than the land route?
When the time comes, even her output in Gaolian County will be able to hitch a ride—oh no, a ride!
Or you can take a boat to the south of the Yangtze River by the way.
Hainan Island is so far away, there is no reason not to go to Jiangnan, which is so close!
Oh my god, if that's the case, what kind of canned lychees are there? Trouble, just sell fresh ones!
Of course, if the output is high, you can also try to put some canned food into production, and sell it when the lychees are about to go out of the market, and you don’t have to worry about selling them.
