Chapter 423
The first batch made hundreds of kilograms of mutton, so all kinds of fragrances came from the workshop every day.
Let the people who work and the people passing by on the nearby streets be greedy.
Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao had just negotiated a batch of wool business from another county, and when they came back, they smelled the fragrance.
The two suddenly felt very hungry, and they looked at each other and walked quickly into the workshop.
The two entered the workshop and walked along the most fragrant room.
The servant at the door did not put the two in, but first reported to Shi Qingluo, and she let them go after she agreed.
Xi Rui and the two didn't care. This room is related to the recipe for canned food, and of course those who come in and out must be strictly checked.
"Qingluo, are you making canned meat? This is too fragrant."
Xi Rui walked in and approached Shi Qingluo, who was stewing meat, "I'm too hungry, give us a portion?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "No problem."
"I've braised mutton in braised, yellow braised and clear soup, you all try it."
So, the three cans of mutton that had just been stewed and were originally going to be sealed were brought to two people to eat.
Xi Rui and the two were not polite, they picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.
Soon the braised and braised mutton was finished, "It's delicious, let's have another serving of these two flavors."
Both of them have heavier tastes, so they don't like mutton in clear soup so much.
Liang Youxiao couldn't help but sigh, "Qingluo, this canned mutton is too delicious."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I spent several days, constantly changing the ingredients, to make the taste so good."
Liang Youxiao asked: "After this canned mutton is ready, can it really be stored for several months without turning the taste or smell?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "That's right, otherwise Lao Xiao and I would have to work so hard to open a canning workshop."
"If the mutton stew is not canned, it will go bad tomorrow on such a hot day."
Lamb prices have been relatively low recently, just in time for canning in large batches.
When the grass and trees dry up in winter and snow falls, not only will the sheep not be as fat as they are now, but the number will also decrease a lot, and the price will go up a lot.
So now more canned mutton, selling it in winter is the most cost-effective.
Xi Rui ate happily, "How long can you keep this canned mutton?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "It's completely fine in winter, and it won't get worse for about half a year."
"And the taste will not change much, it will still be so delicious."
She added: "In winter, put a can of canned mutton on a tin stove and simmer it. Everyone sits around the stove and drinks a few glasses of wine. Think about it, is it a leisurely enjoyment?"
It's cool to eat a can of mutton stew like this in winter, or to cook a la carte as a hot pot.
Sure enough, after Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao listened, they also nodded, "That's right, it's very pleasant to think about!"
Xi Rui asked with a smile, "Qingluo, when are you going to start selling this can?"
Of course, something so delicious must be sent to the capital for my grandmother and mother to taste.
As for the grandfather and father who ruthlessly threw him to the northern border, hum, they were greedy.
Shi Qingluo replied: "The best season to start selling these canned mutton is late autumn, so after it's done, it will sell a portion of it every month to make a name for itself."
"By the end of the fall, there will be a large number of shipments, and the price will naturally follow."
In the early stage, I sold them at a discount to let everyone know that their canned food in Heyang County is delicious.
When the weather is cold, the price increase and sales volume will definitely not be low.
Xi Rui said with a smile: "Then you sell me a batch first, and I will send it to the capital."
Also let the family eat it in autumn and winter, and save a fortune.
Liang Youxiao also had a similar idea, "Yes, I will also ship a batch back to the capital to give my grandmother a taste."
He and Xi Rui's wool workshop has already opened, and then they will send some wool products back.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "No problem."
"In addition to canned mutton, I also plan to add other canned meats, as well as canned fruit."
Xi Rui was stunned, "Ah, can you still make canned fruit?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course you can. For example, there are plenty of pears here, so we can make canned pears and send them to Beijing and other places to sell."
Liang Youxiao asked inexplicably, "How to make canned pears? Put raw pears in this clay pot and seal them?"
Shi Qingluo laughed, "How is it possible, put a raw pear in a jar, it will definitely go bad soon."
"Of course, it has to be cooked, and then sugar is added. It tastes different from fresh pears. It has a different taste."
"Iced canned fruit is also very refreshing in summer."
"Wait for it to be made so you can taste it."
Liang Youxiao asked curiously, "Besides canned pears, what other fruits can I make?"
Shi Qingluo replied, "If you can canned fruit, you can use yellow peaches, bayberry, lychees, loquats, oranges, grapes, etc."
These are all canned fruits she likes to eat in modern times.
In summer, I will buy some and put them in the refrigerator, and then cook sago by myself to make fruit sago.
The fruits on the northern side are mainly pears, grapes, and peaches, and she plans to use all three of them for canned fruit.
Qi Yiyang wrote a letter to ask the local people what to grow to make people rich, so she suggested these kinds of fruits.
when the peasants
If they can't sell it, the cannery will take it.
Heyang County, and the counties under Zhuojun's jurisdiction, she would also recommend planting.
She also suggested planting sugar beets in these three counties, and then opening a sugar mill here to process sugar beets.
At that time, it will not only solve the problem of adding sugar in cans, but also sell the excess to Geguo and Xiyu at a high price.
These days, the seasonality of fruit is too strong, and there is basically no fruit to eat in winter.
After making canned fruit, it can definitely make a lot of money when it is sold in Beijing and Jiangnan in winter.
Liang Youxiao's eyes lit up, "It turns out that there are still so many fruits that can be canned."
"Qingluo, why don't we work together to open a fruit canning workshop?"
"We don't open in the northern Xinjiang either, to grab the business of Heyang County, let's go to the south to open, there are a lot of fruits there, and many of the kinds you mentioned are abundant in the south."
Shi Qingluo knew that Liang Youxiao had always wanted to be the number one businessman in Daliang, and it was indeed feasible to open a workshop in the south to make canned fruit.
Although she is not short of money now, she does not think too much money, "Yes!"
"You can also go to coastal places to build workshops and sell canned fish."
Sales in modern canned fish are also considerable.
Liang Youxiao immediately made a decision, "Done."
He said to Xi Rui: "The wool workshop here is handed over to you, and I will leave for the south in a few days."
Xi Rui rolled his eyes at him, "You really can toss."
"But can I follow suit?" He didn't mind too much money.
Liang Youxiao chuckled and said, "Isn't someone from your mother's family going to be an official in southern Fujian? When the time comes, let him cover us, and I will give you 20% of the shares."
"Of course, in addition to finding this relationship, you have to get some more money out. Let's open a few more workshops."
"I am responsible for sending people to supervise the work and finally sell it."
Xi Rui nodded happily, "No problem."
Liang Youxiao looked at Shi Qingluo again and said, "Qingluo is responsible for giving the recipe, just teach me how to make canned food."
Shi Qingluo nodded, "I'm fine."
Making money is one thing. At that time, she will still be able to eat canned lychees, oranges and other canned food in northern Xinjiang. She feels comfortable just thinking about it, so she does it!
