Chapter 80 The semen female partner chooses to farm (30)
Tin cans are not afraid of light, can be stored for a long time, and are more convenient to transport than glass cans. The disadvantages are high cost and easy to rust when exposed to water.
As long as you pay attention not to get exposed to rain or water during transportation or storage, the latter defect can be avoided, mainly due to cost.
In the days of peasant girls, there was no mine at home, so the first thing that came to mind was glass cans.
But at the moment, the Jinnan Palace she backs owns an entire mine. With the iron ore reserves currently explored, there is no pressure to divide a few tons into tin cans.
Such a simple question actually bothered her for several months.
In this way, Qinbei, a hilly area, can escape poverty and become well-off by planting lychees.
She briefly talked to Yan Kejin and originally wanted him to come forward to contract several barren mountains in the surrounding area and hire local villagers to grow lychees.
Unexpectedly, he bought this place directly, and in an instant, hundreds of miles around became the territory of the palace.
This man would buy land and hills at every turn, and Xu Yin could no longer complain.
Thinking about it, after the canned project is completed, he should not lose money.
However, since you are going to make cans, it is best to have more varieties. Just canned lychees, which will become monotonous after a long time.
She took Yan Kejin into the mountain to inspect it.
After reading it, I feel that the soil here is not only suitable for growing lychees, but also for growing longans, oranges, pineapples and other tropical and subtropical fruits, and these fruits are also suitable for canning.
"Pineapple? What is this?"
Xu Yin saw that he didn't know, so she drew several tropical fruits mentioned with charcoal, so that she could have people look for fruit saplings later to have a reference.
Yan Kejin stared at the pineapple picture for a long time.
Xu Yin: "..."
Well, there are no pineapples in Lingnan at this time.
"How about sending someone to look for them in other continents across the border? This type of fruit tree likes a hot and humid environment, so there might be some there."
"Um."
Yan Kejin took the picture she drew and ordered a guard to hurry up and cross the border to other continents.
However, we have to take a ferry to cross the border and come back. Even if there is no delay on the way, it will probably take a month to get back.
Xu Yin then told the guards that if there were any of the fruits she painted in other continents across the border, there was no need to come back to report them. Instead, they could directly find a batch of high-quality fruit saplings and bring them back with a carriage.
There are local mountain farmers who do the planting, and they know much more than she does. All she can do is teach them the new retting method.
After finishing these things, it’s time to return.
Don’t even think about exploring the entire Baigui County in one visit.
At this rate, it would be great to explore Baigui County within three years.
[Ding—A quarter of Nanman’s Baigui County has been explored]
[Ding—cross the border and start exploring other continents, activate new maps, and be rewarded with 2000 energy points]
Unexpectedly, on this day, the system sent two mission messages in succession, which made Xu Yin quite puzzled.
A quarter of Baigui County has been explored? Not yet?
She started exploring other continents across the border? But she didn’t go to other continents, not even to Qin County.
What's going on? The system is pumped?
Xu Yin was puzzled until Yan Kejin received a letter from Fei Ge telling her that Yan Jiu had bought the entire mountain forest where the rubber forest was located.
In the surrounding forests, rubber trees can be planted and rubber gardens can be built at any time.
There are many precious old trees in the deep forest that are hundreds or thousands of years old. They have been left untouched for the time being and will be reserved for the marriage of their children in the future.
Of course, if she likes it, she can cut down a few trees and let Yan Jiu bring them back.
There was also a flying pigeon message from another guard, who had already crossed the sea and arrived in the overseas continent. The fruits Xu Yin drew were indeed found in the overseas continent, but the pineapples were wild.
According to the description of the guard, the people there are not sensitive to pineapples, saying that they are poisonous, and their mouths will be numb and red and swollen after eating them.
Unless someone is really hungry and has nothing to eat, most people are reluctant to touch it.
So I wrote a special letter to report: Do you want to take it back to Qinbei?
Of course!
"The way to eat pineapple is indeed a bit special, but that's not a problem. Just let him buy fruit seedlings. If it's convenient, hire a few local people who are good at growing this kind of fruit trees to go back to Qinbei and let them teach you how to grow them."
In this way, the mission progress that suddenly appeared in the system gave Xu Yin a rough idea: she did not necessarily have to go there in person to explore, but also the people she sent.
Once I open my mind, I feel so happy.
"What good thing happened to the princess?"
Yan Kejin wrote the handwriting and released the flying pigeons. When he came back, he saw her with a smile on her lips and humming a little tune from time to time. She couldn't help but laugh and ask.
"I won't tell you!" Xu Yin smiled playfully.
Yan Kejinping stepped back and stepped forward to hug her: "Let me guess, is... yes?"
As he spoke, his big warm hands, with his unique refreshing breath, touched her lower abdomen.
Xu Yin was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You are overthinking."
Yan Kejin was just guessing and was not disappointed when she saw her retort.
The accompanying physician checked the princess's pulse and said she was in good health.
There will always be children. It’s better not to come now, because I can still enjoy the joy of having sex with her a few more times.
Thinking about it this way, I felt a little moved in my heart.
He lowered his head and saw the person in his arms, with an almond-shaped face and peach cheeks, and a charming face. He didn't let the maid come in to hold the lamp, so he carried her to the bed in the dark...
When I returned to Fucheng, it was already August when the osmanthus was fragrant.
The housekeeper led his servants to hang lanterns on the corridor and eaves of the mansion.
At night, candles were lit, and the red light illuminated the nine-curved corridor of the mansion.
The kitchen also asked the carpenter's workshop to make a batch of brand new mooncake molds, a set of large and small sizes with dozens of patterns, in preparation for the Autumn Harvest Festival.
Perhaps the salty rice dumplings invented by Xu Yin were very popular in the house. No, when the prince and the princess returned to the house, the chef hurried over and asked the princess what kind of salty mooncakes she liked to eat. It was better to prepare the fillings in the kitchen in advance.
When Yan Kejin heard this, she also looked at her expectantly.
Xu Yin: "..."
Savory mooncakes?
I haven't really studied this yet.
"How about trying the golden sand custard filling and the salted egg yolk ham filling? These two salty flavors should be okay."
The popular mooncakes here in Yanhua are similar to Cantonese-style mooncakes, but they are a bit hard when cold and not as soft as later Cantonese-style mooncakes.
Xu Yin guessed that the syrup was too thin, and too much flour needed to be added to adjust the hardness of the dough. As a result, the oil returned slowly or not at all after cooling, so it tasted hard and the texture was not good.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of sugar in the house this year. Xu Yin asked the waiter to move the sugar that had been boiled to the big kitchen for the cooks to make mooncakes.
In addition, she plans to bake a batch of Soviet-style pickled mustard meat and red bean paste mooncakes.
Then use the lychees brought back from Qinbei to make canned lychees with sugar water and give them to the prince as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.
She had a baking kiln built in the back garden of Xu Mansion.
The drawings of the baking kiln were prepared by the system, which was more sophisticated than she thought. The open fire on the lower floor can be used for barbecue; the fire on the upper floor can be used to bake mooncakes and other snacks.
When the kiln is finished, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.
Xu Yin led her grandmother and maids to start making Soviet-style mooncakes.
