Chapter 28 Canned Fruit Becomes a Tribute
Let's talk about the academy.

Since the establishment of the government-run academy in Guangzhou, more and more students came to study. Mr. Song often invites the outstanding students in the academy to drink tea at home, especially those young men who have not yet reached the top. Always call Song Qingyue, and follow her to see, in the euphemistic name of helping Dad choose talents.

But her female guard Feng Qi reminded her: "I think Mr. Song wants to pick a husband for you!"

Mom!

Song Qingyue suddenly realized!
Then she shivered, but she was still four months away from 11 years old, okay, she was only a fifth grade elementary school student!Master Song began to think about her marriage!
"Go, go to Zhuangzi!"

If not, she is determined not to marry!

Before the pelvis was not well developed, it was fatal to give birth to a child!
When the car passed by the market, Mo Yun said "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Song Qingyue asked.

Mo Yun shook her head and said, "I seem to have seen Song Quan just now, maybe I misread it."

Song Qingyue raised her eyebrows. This house is one of Mr. Song's cheap real estate projects. They are all cement brick and tile houses with one or two entrances. The water supply tanks are connected. Every morning, a special person will step on the water truck in the well room of the community to bring clean water to the water supply channel. The amount of one tank for each family, if it is not enough, go to the well room to pick it up, and there is also a sewer for domestic water.

But the excrement and urine are still collected by the people of Yexianghang every morning and evening, or they are dumped in nearby public latrines, and those who dump excrement and urine into the sewer at will will be arrested and beaten twenty sticks in the yamen once they are caught.

Gu Quan bought the house here?Or simply Master Song sent him?
No way, Song Quan has made a lot of money with his father these years, and he wouldn't buy a cheap house here if he wanted to.

Song Qingyue quickly put this matter behind her. Now is the busy season of farming. Picking spring tea and transplanting rice seedlings are carried out almost at the same time. Every family even children have to help in the fields, and girls who are not strong enough stay at home. Cook for the family.

The road is still under construction, but the official road is almost completed. If the branch road is built, the government will give priority to places with a large population or more economically valuable products.

For this matter, every time the parents and officials of Xiatouzhou County went to the government office for a meeting, they would quarrel so much that they wished they could fight on the spot. Because of this kind of thing, the entire Guangdong Province completed the population and land statistics very easily. Update, because the states and counties below are eager to let the people above know that they have a large population and rich products, so hurry up and give priority to building roads here!

Smarter parents and officials will find ways to open up wasteland and study new planting methods. For example, rice can only be planted on flat land, and it takes a lot of work to reclaim sloping land to grow rice.

But it’s different now. Tea, corn, sunflowers, and even mango, carambola, plum, hawthorn, or yellow peach trees can be grown on sloping land.

If these fruits cannot be sold in time, they can be sent to Cao's food processing factory.

Song Qingyue is able to make fine granulated sugar that is almost pure white at a lower cost than traditional icing.

This kind of sugar does not have the special taste of brown sugar and brown sugar, but is very pure sweetness. Fruit preserves made with her white sugar can be sold at a very good price.

In fact, Song Qingyue has always wanted to try making canned fruits.

She remembered that when she was in college in her previous life, her roommates in the Northeast especially loved canned fruit.If canned fruit can be made and sold to the north, it will be very popular.

However, the technology is limited. The current canned fruits are all in porcelain bottles, and the sealing technology is not good. We can only boil the syrup and fruit together with the porcelain bottle, plug it with a cork soaked in high-grade wine, and then seal it with wax. .The cost is not low, and it will be sold as a luxury when shipped to the Northeast.

Master Song sent candied fruit and canned fruit as annual presents to his father-in-law's house and the Song family's direct branch in the capital. Although these things were not considered valuable in Guangzhou, they became rare and expensive when transported to the capital.

It was another winter and spring came, and the palace suddenly decreed that the canned fruit should be certified as a royal tribute.

Song Qingyue was so angry that she wanted to scold her mother, although the canned fruit produced by her factory was favored by the emperor, and the reputation of the canned fruit was suddenly established. The rich and powerful all over the country were proud of being able to eat canned fruit, which made the output a little behind. The demand has increased, and the price has risen a wave, but she doesn't want to make tributes at all!

No preservatives right now?
And whether it's good or bad after it's sealed, she doesn't know at all.

In case any political opponent of Mr. Song wants to frame him and tamper with the tribute, think about the old emperor opening the cork and catching a big candied cockroach from it, will she still want to live?

Besides, how much manpower would it take to escort tributes to Beijing every year?

Who the hell sent this thing into the palace for the emperor to eat! ?

It made her have to think about how to get out the preservative. The most common preservative - potassium chloride, shouldn't be difficult to get. She has to think about it...
