Chapter 419 Fruit Preservation and Canning
"Eat cherry cake, eat cherry cake!" The children on the farm shouted and went to get the cherry cake.
There are no cherries planted in Li Yizhuang, but there are many in Huangzhuang to the north.
Wang Xing asked someone to pick it off and send it to Lijiazhuangzi.
Li Yi asked someone to press the fruit out, and put the remaining pulp and juice into a box. After leaving it for a while, it turned into jelly.
Use well water to soak the box together, and it tastes sour, sweet and cool.
Wang Xing came over to watch the children eat, and sighed: "Cherry matures early in the north, but it is a pity that it is difficult to preserve."
"It can be made into preserved fruits and dried fruits." Li Yi didn't want to eat cherries.
The cherries were small, so they were not made into dried cherries. When he was a child, he ate them with the pits.
Later, big cherries became available. In order to appear more noble, cherry sellers had to call the big cherries cherries, which is the transliteration of Cherries.
Like the big red apple in California, the apple is not called an apple, but a snake fruit.
The cherries native to China are small and it is difficult to spit out the core of one.
"Move the cherry trees into the greenhouse. I wonder if I can eat cherries in winter." Wang Xing thought of off-season vegetables.
"Yes, you need to increase the lighting. You can light bulbs, candles and oil lamps. It consumes the oxygen in the greenhouse and requires ventilation."
Li Yi decided to install light bulbs this year and not sell them to others. Glass is very expensive.
Some of the ones I sold before were burned out, and those people didn't take them back to replace them, so they just kept the glass bubbles.
"This year we will plant cherries in a big greenhouse, and Huangzhuang will follow suit. When will they be transplanted?" Wang Xing decided to do something big.
"Spring is the best." Li Yi said and suddenly laughed.
"The cherry trees in Huangzhuang are adjacent to a large area. Wouldn't it be enough if you built a greenhouse on top?"
Li Yi found that transplanting was not as good as controlling a greenhouse.
Wang Xing clapped his hands vigorously: "Yes, build a greenhouse around the cherry trees, then topdress and take care of it.
You give me the light bulb and replace it when it's worn out, and I'll prepare the power generation equipment and manpower myself.
When there are cherries in winter, I will give you some... some, and the Imperial Village will give priority to supplying them to the palace. "
"There is no shortage of cherry trees in the palace, and we can also build greenhouses. Give me the ones from the Imperial Villa, and I will provide the light bulbs in the palace." Li Yi tried another approach.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Wang Xing thought it was feasible.
“This year in twenty counties, I will build five acres of greenhouses in each county for the people to see.
Last year, there were only three places with greenhouses. People did not see them with their own eyes and did not dare to invest money and manpower.
Give them a try and find out that they can make money, then they will be willing to follow suit. "
Li Yi talked about his arrangements. There are students in all twenty counties, so it is convenient to take care of them.
"Some wealthy households have already made preparations, and business people are bold. This year, when the lychees come down, you can eat dried lychees."
Wang Xing said that someone wanted to learn from him, but the topic changed and he was greedy for lychees.
We have lychees now, but it’s a pity that we can’t deliver them.
"Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain. A red concubine riding on a horse laughs, and no one knows that it is lychee." Li Yi read it out smoothly.
"Brother Yi, what are you talking about?" Wang Xing knows whether to write about lychees or send them to Chang'an Palace. Which concubine is it?
"Nothing. I suddenly remembered how to preserve cherries and lychees. I want to can them."
Li Yi found a way to save it.
"Canned?" Wang Xing repeated.
"Put the meat and flour, add salt and distiller's yeast, seal it in a jar, and then expose it to the sun for fourteen days. What comes out is a canned meat sauce. The art of Qi Min Yao has written."
Li Yi mentioned something.
There is also a method for making Austrian meat in Qi Min Yao Shu. Put the meat in the cauldron, add seasonings and water, and cover it.
Put it on the fire and cook it. When the meat is cooked, the water will disappear and it can be stored for a period of time.
Wang Xing could only nod. It was impossible for him to memorize Qi Min's essential skills.
"I want to make porcelain, and the mouth of the bottle will be smaller so that the cork can be put in it.
Burn it out, put the cherries in, add sugar and water, steam it in a pot, until it's almost done, put the cork in it immediately after opening.
The outside is then sealed with wax or oil paper and mud, and it can be stored for a long time. However, the jar and cork must be steamed and sterilized first. "
Li Yi decided to make cans instead of glass bottles and use porcelain.
Sell it to heaven and earth and eat it in your own village.
"Lychees and longans will work too. Can this method be spread to others? Harvest the lychees locally, wait for the longans to mature, and then make the same recipe."
Wang Xing is still thinking about lychees. If he can’t eat fresh ones, he can just eat canned ones.
"Yes, if you want to store it for a short period of time, eat it as soon as it is delivered from there, and use bamboo tubes to make utensils." Li Yi gave another idea.
The sealing performance of the bamboo tube is not good enough and it will slowly seep out.
As soon as he thought of it, Li Yi wrote down the process, gave a copy to Wang Xing, and asked him to find the person above.
He went to the workshop, the ceramics workshop, and gave him the drawings, and the people in the workshop began to make the blanks and prepare the porcelain.
Wang Xing hurried back to the palace, not looking for Gao Lishi, but Yang Sixu.
Yang Sixu took care of him, and he bypassed Yang Sixu to create conflicts between Yang Sixu and Gao Lishi.
Yang Sixu got the thing, thought about it, and hurriedly sent it to Li Longji.
The three prime ministers were there, and Yang Sixu glanced at Gao Lishi.
Passing the things to the other party: "Lijia Zhuangzi has come up with a new way to preserve steamed fruits."
After giving and talking, he went back to his place.
Yao and Chong looked at the things in Gao Lishi's hands at the same time, and looked at Li Longji in tacit understanding.
"Show it to the ministers first." Li Longji was not in a hurry.
Gao Lishi sent it over, and the three of them got together.
The steps are very simple, just make the big-bellied and small-mouthed porcelain, prepare the cork, and prepare the fruits to be put in it.
First steam the porcelain and cork in a large pot, then process the fruit, clean it and remove the core.
Then put the fruit in, preferably boiled water and sugar.
If there is no other sugar, you can boil the fruit to get out the fructose and put it in it.
Continue steaming. After opening, steam for another quarter of an hour. Open the lid and insert the stopper as quickly as possible, then seal the outside.
It says: According to this method, it can be stored for at least six months and as many as several years. Meat can also be cooked in this way.
The three people gave the paper to Li Longji. After Li Longji finished reading it, Zhang said, "It can be used by the soldiers at the front during the war."
"Wouldn't it be better to send dried fruits to the soldiers at the front?" Yao Chong, the Order of Ziwei and the Minister of War, spoke out.
"Exactly." Lu Huaishen supported Yao Chong: "If the baggage can carry cans, UU Reading www.uuknshu.net why not send more grain and dried meat."
Li Longji thought about it: "It's just for eating relatively fresh fruits. Brother Yi has a way to make meat floss.
Meat floss is a good thing, even better than dried meat. It can be stored for a long time and is easy to eat.
It is easy to chew when eaten dry, tastes good when cooked with other rice, and can be thrown into water to make soup.
On the border between Tibet and Turks, the main problem is transportation. If you transport a stone of grain across, how much will you eat on the way? "
Li Long was worried about his gene consumption.
The soldiers over there eat grain shipped from Shu. If you want to transport the grain here, you have to go along the Yangtze River to Shu.
Then transport it by land from Shu. There are many mountains in Shu, so you have to eat a lot along the way.
"Ask Li Yi if there is any way to send things over in the blink of an eye." Yao Chong said suddenly.
Everyone looked at him together, with torture in their eyes.
"Just asking, just in case." Yao Chong looked a little scared and explained in a low voice.
"Send Li Yi there, I believe he can solve many problems locally." Zhang said and continued.
"Gentlemen, please go back." Li Longji didn't want to speak anymore.
