Chapter 0191 Difficult to find Lao Zhu
Chapter 0191 If you have any difficulties, go to Lao Zhu
After a rain, the peach blossoms have all fallen, and the ripe peaches are hanging on the branches happily, weighing them down so much that they are bent and drooping.
Thirty acres of peach grove is the additional wealth of the Zheng family manor.
The peach grove is not far away, at the foot of the mountain and five hundred meters directly in front of the Zheng family manor.
This is the first time to pick, and they say it takes five years for peaches, plums, and apricots to grow.
Peach trees can bear fruit in just three years, are easy to grow, and have a high survival rate.
Fruits are even more popular among people.
Trees for this kind of economic crop were still very popular in ancient times.
The extreme underdevelopment of material means that anything that can be eaten is treated like a treasure.
Although the people of the Zheng family manor did not pay much attention to this peach forest of the Zheng family.
But the tenants of the Zheng family cannot ignore it.
Although the host has said that they can pick the peaches as they like to satisfy the cravings of the children and the elderly.
But who is blind and would really pick something foolishly?
The Zheng family was good enough to them, giving them a happy home and plenty of food.
This grace is higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and wider than the earth.
Therefore, the tenant farmers even took the initiative to arrange their shifts and patrol day and night every day.
Just be wary of those thieves.
However, they all followed Zheng Changsheng's orders very faithfully.
If someone is really hungry and anxious, let them pick some belly wraps without being held responsible for theft.
What they have to guard against are the real thieves.
Zheng Changsheng's move made the people in the area more than ten miles around feel extremely grateful.
So when they are really hungry and don't have anything to wrap their bellies, they will take the initiative to tell the patrolling Zheng family tenants who they are, such as what their name is and which person they are in.
In this way, the patrol will allow them to enter the peach forest and have a full meal.
But one thing cannot be wasted or taken away. You can eat as much as you can, as long as your stomach can hold it.
It can be said that Zheng Changsheng's action has affected countless lives.
Therefore, today is the time to pick the harvest, and there are a sea of people coming to help. There are thousands of people. Adults and children are busy loading peaches into large baskets made of rattan.
Peaches are very delicious, sweet and juicy, but there are too many peaches.
Moreover, the shelf life of fruits is very short, and they will rot if they are not eaten properly.
We need to find a way to do this, and Zheng Changsheng has a headache because of this.
"Why did Mr. Zheng sigh?" Lu Wanrong came to Taoyuan accompanied by Ruhua.
Looking at the peaches growing happily and the busy picking scene in front of her, she yearned for them.
But suddenly he turned around and saw Zheng Changsheng frowning at a lot of peaches, so he came up to ask.
"It's Miss Wan'er. Look at these peaches, if they are not sold or processed in time, they will definitely rot, and the work of so many people will be in vain."
"Oh, then if there really aren't that many sales, you might as well give it to these working people."
Lu Wanrong has lived in the Zheng family for several months, and has more or less understood the character of Zheng Changsheng's mother and son.
I believe he wouldn't mind if these peaches were given to poor people.
"No, we can't give it to them." Zheng Changsheng decisively refused.
Lu Wanrong's face suddenly became embarrassed. It was right to think about it. These are other people's properties. How could they be willing to share them with others for no reason?
Deep in her heart, she couldn't help but put a question mark on what she had learned about Zheng Changsheng before.
Zheng Changsheng scratched his head: "With so many peaches, it's good to give them to them so that they can finish them all. If they can't finish them, they will soon rot and spoil.
Based on the character of these people, I am afraid they would not be willing to throw away even rotten peaches, they would have to feed them into their stomachs.
That's not good, you will definitely get sick.
It would be better to exchange the money for money and use the money directly as wages to pay them. This is the long-term solution."
Just when Lu Wanrong was disappointed and secretly unhappy, and was about to turn around and leave, Zheng Changsheng said these words.
Well, I see, it seems that I still misunderstood him.
She was secretly happy, it seemed that her vision of people was correct.
Let’s just say it! He doesn’t look like a vicious person at heart.
"Then what does Mr. Zheng plan to do? Can he sell them all at once?
If that doesn't work, I can send a message to my eldest father {referring to grandpa, in ancient written it is grandfather, and in spoken language it is eldest father.} and ask him to help buy some and distribute them to our clan members, relatives and friends.
This will also relieve you a little bit of stress.”
Lu Wanrong really wanted to help Zheng Changsheng.
She knew that with her grandfather Lu Boyi's financial resources and influence, she could help Zheng Changsheng digest some of these mountains of peaches.
Zheng Changsheng glanced at Miss Lu with his dark eyes, feeling a little bit of joy in his heart.
This girl seems to sincerely want to help him. It seems that as long as he gets along with her day and night, there is still hope for winning her heart.
However, he did not intend to sell the peaches. Considering the current prices, the peaches could not be sold at a good price.
If you want to sell it, it must be sold after processing.
Only in this way can the benefits be maximized. For people who do not understand economics, this is something unimaginable.
Just like potatoes in later generations, they are very cheap, but once they are processed into French fries, the price is no longer the price of potatoes and eggs.
So Zheng Changsheng decided to go through the processing process of these peaches.
How to process peaches into a delicious and shelf-stable food is something that requires careful consideration.
Either canned food or fruit wine.
Although the vacuum packaging technology of this era is not good, nor is sterilization, at least once it is made, it can be stored longer than peaches.
If you just sell peaches, not only will you not be able to sell them at a high price, but they will also likely rot quickly.
Today's hot weather is the biggest natural enemy of these fresh fruits. If there is a lot of ice, the storage time may be longer.
Ice, in the hot summer, is a great tool for cooling down.
But now, except for some dignitaries and wealthy families who have ice cellars to store ice, where can ordinary small families and ordinary people have the ability to get ice?
However, this is an unimaginable thing for others, but for Zheng Changsheng, a time traveler, it is simply a piece of cake.
Not to mention the method of using saltpeter to cool down and make ice crystals. This had been discovered as early as the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the sale of ice crystal drinks appeared.
For him, it was even more difficult.
But the key is that saltpeter is not easy to get now. It is an important raw material for making huo yao.
Nowadays, firearms are widely used in the Ming army, so this material is strictly controlled and not easy to obtain.
But what can I do if I can’t do it myself?
If Lao Zhu, the biggest boss behind the scenes, doesn't take advantage of it, what else is he thinking about?
Besides, the Royal Ice Cellar stores enough ice, so it shouldn’t be a problem to store these peaches for yourself.
The farmhouse's manor is about to be built. If it opens, this delicious peach ice wine will have to be sold for a sky-high price, right?
If things go wrong, it can become a gold-mining tool. Haha, don't be too pretty, you have to find Lao Zhu to solve the problem quickly.
