Chapter 554: The Birth of Canned Fish
"Sir, are there too many five thousand? We still need to build heavy armor and weapons now."
Said to Wentian.
"You keep recruiting people. Put your weapons and heavy armor in the next two days, and make all your efforts to create these jars. It is best to hand them over to me within three days."
Lin Fan said.
"Sir, I really can't understand what these jars can do. If you put fish, there is no need for this. We just use wooden barrels, wouldn't we put more?"
Said to Wentian.
In his opinion, it is extremely unwise to create this kind of iron can to put fish in it. Lin Fan smiled and said, "Just do as I told you, and you will know what's going on."
After Lin Fan said that, Xiang Wentian made it according to Lin Fan's request. The next day, the fish from Guo Degang were cooked one after another and delivered to Wuhou Mansion.
The whole Marquis of Wu's mansion was shocked by the large number of fish ordered by Lin Fan.
"For so many fish, Lord Wuhou wouldn't want us to eat fish every day next time, don't! I have been eating fish for several years, and now I want to vomit when I see fish."
"Yes, we live by the sea. This fish is much cheaper than rice. I just want to eat rice and steamed buns for a few more years!"
"Although it's different now than before, our lives are better, but I just ate rice and white flour for a few days, and I want to enjoy a few more days."
When the soldiers heard that Lin Fan had ordered a large number of fish, they all complained.
However, what they didn't expect was that these fish did not appear on their dining table in the end, but were sealed by Lin Fan with iron cans.
Moreover, these canned fish were still stored in Wuhou Mansion. For a moment, everyone didn't understand why Lin Fan wanted to do these things. In the next few days, Lin Fan was still ordering new fish.
"Do you understand what Lord Lin has done these days?"
Pang Tong and Xiang Wentian sat together and asked while chatting.
"I don't know, Lord Lin asked me to build many small iron buckets, and then created a special seal, saying that I wanted to seal the iron buckets."
He asked Wentian in confusion.
"Tsk tsk! I really don't understand. I'm sealing all of these fish, Lord Lin, aren't you afraid of breaking it?"
Lu Ban said in confusion.
"Maybe Lord Lin has a solution to the breakdown of the fish. After all, put a lot of salt in the iron bucket, and salt can prevent decay."
Pang Tong said to himself.
As a person from the Tang Dynasty, even a god-level talent, Pang Tong could not understand the role of canned food. At this moment, someone came in to report it.
"Several sirs, Lord Wuhou asked you to come over and discuss matters."
The soldier said.
"Okay, let's go now."
Pang Tong and the other two cleaned up for a while, then hurried to find Lin Fan to discuss matters. When they arrived at the conference hall, Tong Meng and Tong Baisheng were also there, and on the table in front of them, there were a few iron buckets.
"You guys are so slow. I can't wait to explain this to you."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, what is this thing?"
Pang Tong took the lead in asking.
“Can, to be precise, canned fish.”
Lin Fan smiled.
"Can fish? Lord Lin, I don't understand this. You have tried your best to put the fish in such a small bucket. How many can you put in a large wooden bucket? Isn't it good to put it in a large wooden bucket?"
"Yes, a wooden barrel can hold a lot of fish. If you use these jars, you will waste so much manpower and material resources. It's not cost-effective."
Another person said.
Lin Fan looked at the people, smiled slightly, and asked, "Okay, let me ask you a question. If it is placed in a wooden barrel, how many days can the fish be stored?"
"If the fish are placed in a wooden barrel, it can be stored for more than half a month. If there is more salt, it can be done in one month."
Pang Tong said.
"Do you know how long can I store my canned fish?"
Lin Fan asked back.
"for how long?"
Pang Tong asked.
"Haha! It can be stored for at least one year, because it is a confined space, and there is also salt and the fish is cooked. You can eat it after opening it. You should know the importance of this thing."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
hiss!
In an instant, Pang Tong was frightened. If this can can really be stored for one year, then the strategic significance would be too great.
It should be noted that the most troublesome thing about marching and fighting is the issue of food and grass. Not only do you need a dedicated person to escort, but you also need a dedicated person to take care of him, and even a chef.
The fish is marinated. If each soldier has a few cans, it will be enough to last for several days, so that the chef will be spared.
As for the issue of steamed buns being staple food, just make more dry noodles with them. Just soak them in boiling water and soak them in canned fish.
"Mr. Lin, what you said is the truth?"
Pang Tong confirmed again.
"Of course it's the fact. I'll tell you that these canned fish can not only be stored for a year, but these canned foods can still be recycled."
"Think about it, be careful when using each of our soldiers to ensure the integrity of the jar, and can be reused, which will greatly solve the cost."
Lin Fan smiled.
"Yes! Lord Lin, do you know where the most powerful place for this canned food is? It is because when we march and fight, we no longer need to slow down the marching speed because of escorting food and grass."
Pang Tong said with a smile.
"I thought so at first. Just as I put a few cans of canned food for each soldier and then a few big cakes per person, I can travel for a few days and rush to any city."
Lin Fan said.
"When it comes to food and grass, I remember something. A few days ago, a gangster came to our Zhenzhou City. He said that there were sold military grain pills, and eating one would be worth the meal of one day."
Luban said.
At first, when he heard about this military ration pill, he didn't believe it. However, the man ate one in public and sat there without moving for a day and night, and his stomach did not roar. He was still full of energy.
"Well? Are you saying that there are people selling soldiers and food pills in Zhenzhou now?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Yes, but I doubt that the man's motives were impure, so I ignored it. I remembered it when I saw the adult canned fish today."
Lu Ban said again.
"Haha, just a liar in the world. There are no soldiers and food pills in this world. Come with me, I'll expose him."
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
