Chapter 3655: Poor mountains and bad waters...
Chen Xi actually didn't know what this thing was, but Chen Xi knew that the rods of this thing were sweet, and that was actually enough.
When I hadn't come to Jiaozhou before, I didn't know much about the environment here. After I came, I found that this kind of thing was growing all over the mountains. What else could I say? Sugar-containing straw that is not expensive is of course used to make wine.
Even if I don’t know what this thing is or what it is called, as long as this thing can be eaten and has a sweet taste, it can be used to make wine. Even if it cannot be used to make sugar, it will not be a loss for making wine. These days, wine is also a component of people’s happiness.
As for whether it is delicious or not, this is not a problem. If the sweet wine is really not good, it can also be used as a flavoring agent. As for the price, the grass in Jiaozhou is cost-effective, just cut it. The mountains and fields are all over the country, and it will be a small amount of money to recover.
"Can this thing make wine?" Liu Bei looked at the rod that was two meters tall and thicker than his thumb with a strange look. He folded one casually, and then naturally smelled the fragrance of plant juice from the mouth, then wiped it with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
After chewing for a few bites, I felt that the taste was OK, and then I spit out a bunch of dregs.
"It's okay, it's easier to chew than sugarcane, but there's too much residue, not much juice, and the taste is not very sweet." Liu Bei spitted out a mouthful of residue and said to Chen Xi.
"Okay, it would be great if you can taste the sweetness." Chen Xi smiled, accustomed to Liu Bei's down-to-earth behavior.
"Actually, I really want to say that this thing is sweeter than many northern fruits." Liu Bei suddenly commented. This is not a nonsense. This thing is actually quite good.
Chen Xi scratched his head, how should he explain that this thing is sucrose, while the mainstream fruit in the north is glucose. The sweetness of the two is different. In terms of sugar content, it is two different things.
"Anyway, this thing can make wine. In fact, I always think that sugary things can make wine, just how to make it." Chen Xi said with a smile. "As for the degree issue, I will consider it later. If you don't have it, you can use the residue of the juice as a ignition-induced object and then distillate it. The wood ash can also be used as fertilizer. It's pretty good."
Liu Bei nodded silently. This is really a habit that Chen Xi does not even let go of the scum, but it is quite good to think about it.
"Let's go back and send a message to Chang'an and ask a group of professional brewers to come over. They have brewed a lot of things over the years and come here to study. When we get Jiaozhou, they should have made the wine." Chen Xi said calmly.
He originally planned to process coarse grains and fishery processing, but now he sees that there are better options, so he should move coarse grains and fishery processing to other places first. After all, these things have to be calculated these days.
"You didn't bring such a person." Liu Bei said with some confusion.
"I said that I originally planned to do grain processing or fishery processing. I never thought there was such a thing here. I saw it after I came." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "No need to fertilize or irrigate, sow a handful of seeds and leave. When the time comes, you can squeeze juice and make wine. If that's the case, why do you need something else?
"This kind of thing is lower than the previous two, the technology required is also lower, and it can withstand more manpower. Of course, choose this." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It is the most suitable to adapt to local conditions, although Jiaozhou itself has a bit of the meaning of destiny and favorable territory."
"Destiny and the right place?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi for no reason.
"I won't discuss this anymore. Just remember that this place will develop rapidly." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "There is no way. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have all occupied Southeast Asia. With the geographical advantages of Jiaozhou, what else should I do? Even a pig can be blown away!
"Yes." Liu Bei didn't ask much. Chen Xi would handle such a thing very well.
At the same time, on the other frames, we are happily eating various unique snacks in Jiaozhou. If coconut pastry, coconut pastry cakes, coconut pastry cakes, etc. from other places are full of sincerity, then the things here are all unsatisfactory.
There is no way, there is the only super-large coconut processing factory in the Han Dynasty, which mainly produces various coconut processing products, such as coconut paste, shredded coconut milk, coconut sugar, coconut milk, and coconut wine that Chen Xi often smokes with his mind. Of course, there are strange things like buttons and charcoal. However, charcoal is used for barbecue by locals, and Bingzhou anthracite is used in the north.
Therefore, the desserts made here, the coconut and shredded coconut are sprinkled as if they don’t have money. In fact, if you really want to say, you really don’t have much money.
"Jiaozhou is actually quite good. The food you eat is a bit weird when you eat on the first day of the New Year. I am so happy to eat it." Si Niang happily ate plates of snacks in the carriage.
"There are so many coconut shreds in the Central Plains that should be worth one Wuzhu coin." Liu Tong said with emotion, "People here feel that they have eaten this place and there are strange things like coconut shreds. By the way, I can't taste the rice flavor, I can only taste the sweetness of coconut. Why do people here have so much oil?"
"Because it's coconut oil, the new products produced by a large processing factory here are enough for Jiaozhou to eat. Chen Hou is really very, very admirable." Shi Wan, the youngest daughter who shipped Shixie, said to Liu Tong with her eyes radiating.
To be honest, Liu Tong knew from the girl getting in the car and being a guide for them that this girl had bad intentions and wanted to attack Chen Xi, but Zhen Mi just smiled gently, come on, try it, you want to impress my husband, I will give you the title of the second beauty in the world for free.
"Okay, can this thing still be able to squeeze oil?" Liu Tong looked at Shi Wan in confusion and asked. Shi Wan nodded repeatedly, then searched left and right, and found a jar of local specialties packaged for Liu Tong and others, which were the so-called coconut oil.
"In short, we can live in Jiaozhou by relying on coconuts." Shi Wan said excitedly, "The people of Jiuzhen County and Rinan County are now very obedient to plant coconuts. They used to make trouble, and even had the incident of raising troops to siege the county town, but they were all defeated by my brother."
"Okay, the environment here was really bad before, but now it seems to be okay." Liu Tong did not delve into the previous rebellion. This guy's attitude was very clear. What happened ten years ago and twenty years ago, who did not feel unhappy? Go to the underground to find my father, don't come to me, I don't know, I'm just a princess, princess, do you understand!
"Yeah, yeah, we are also building roads here now. Although there are always some idiots who say that our road construction has destroyed their Feng Shui, or sacrifices, we have knocked them one by one. In recent years, many such idiots have been knocked on. Now all counties in Jiaozhou have opened roads." Shi Wan said proudly. In her opinion, her father did a very good job.
Although Shi Wan did not understand what her father meant to bring her over as a guide, this did not prevent Shi Wan from admiring her father. When my father came, it was so chaotic that the local people didn't know that they were people of the Han Dynasty. Now they are all registered and proud of the Han people, and strive to move closer to Han culture.
"Knock over?" Wu Yuan, who was lying at the window of the carriage, looked out. Well, she already understood what the so-called knock over meant. Traces on this road showed that Shi Xie was also a bloody method to strangle the local chief.
"It's much better now, and there are fewer people robbing the Tao. I've met them before, but now some of the villages below can't help." Shi Wan tilted her head and said ignorantly. This child is really bad for Shi Xie to have enough brains. With this political mind, he doesn't know that he's been killed.
"What happened in the village below?" Liu Tong said with a smile, reaching out and pushing the tea tray in front of him to Si Niang beside him, with a gentle expression.
"Some tribes always steal things from our processing factory. The last time the most overwhelming thing was that in Rinan County, the coconut processing factory we set up for them was emptied by them, and then another one was set up in their tribe. But then we stopped their coconut supply, and then they returned the processing factory to us." Shi Wan pressed her chin with a look of memories and explained.
Wu Yuan and Zhen Mi looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths were slapped. They knew why Chen Xi had pulled Liu Bei over. Don’t look at a processing factory, it seemed that Chen Xi could easily place it in his hands. But in fact, a processing factory that could accommodate thousands of people was worth over 100 million yuan in the eyes of Wu Yuan and others.
Should we say that it is worthy of being a poor mountain and a bad river, it is so arrogant.
"In fact, there were incidents in the early days when people steal coconut products. However, later Chen Hou learned about this and distributed sufficient coconut processing products to the people every month. This is also the reason why there are many such things on the market." Shi Wan said with a smile.
Chen Xi was also very troubled at the time, which was also the reason why Shi Xie consciously reduced his salary later. Since you got the product and I will also send you products, let's lower the salary.
In addition, Chen Xi blocked the channels, and the scattered sales of the people in Jiaozhou are not very meaningful. Finally, after strengthening management, theft was solved because it was impossible to sell. Of course, except for the sharp increase in the price in Jiaozhou, you have no ability to ship it out and can only make some pastries and other things.
