Zhong Jing is a practical man, he does what he says and immediately gives orders.
The sergeants are very lively at this stage, and there are people working everywhere.
Zhao Liya has clearly explained all the things that need to be explained, and now she is just waiting to see how the cans turn out in a few days.
In a few days, she would open one can and take a look. If there was no problem, it would prove that her idea was basically correct. She would take three cans back and wait about two months before opening them. If there was no problem, that would be it.
It's officially ready.
There was nothing else to do these days, so Zhao Liya and Shu Yan were playing around in this area, doing research and cooking some dishes, which was quite relaxing.
Five days later, Lin Mo, Yu Xiaofang and the others finally came out of the mountain.
Yu Xiaofang obviously gained a lot and was smiling happily.
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "You guys came back at the right time!"
The can is ready to be opened and you can try the taste.
After calling Zhong Jing to join her, Zhao Liya opened the can eagerly and nervously, scooping a little bit for each person in a small bowl, "Let's try it, everyone!"
Yu Xiaofang smiled and said, "Xiaoya and sister-in-law are making delicious food again? We came back at the right time, haha!"
Everyone tasted this canned coconut fruit. It was sweet but not greasy, smooth and full of coconut flavor. It is indeed a very popular little dessert. There is still a big market in places where it does not exist.
“It’s delicious, really good!”
"The taste is very sweet, I think it's good too."
"If we can sell it to the Jiangnan area, we won't have to worry about running out of sales."
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "I think so too."
If you take the sea route from here, it is not difficult to get to Jiangnan. If you designate Jiangnan area as the main sales area and position the north as "things are rare and valuable", there will definitely be sales.
In this way, these lychees will not go to waste.
Zhong Jing also thinks this canned coconut fruit is delicious, but——
He wondered: "What does this have to do with lychees?"
Didn’t you say that you wanted to help him solve the lychee problem? But this is coconut fruit.
After all, Shu Yan knows this!
Shu Yan smiled and said: "General Zhong, you can do this with coconuts, and so can lychees! So, it's the same."
"Ah! Look at my brain!" Zhong Jing suddenly realized and slapped his forehead. That's what he is good about. He never minds when others say he doesn't understand, and he accepts opinions humbly.
Zhong Jing suddenly smiled happily and said: "Yes, in this way, lychees are solved. Sister Xiaoya, can this be done with all fruits?"
Zhao Liya smiled and shook her head: "Of course not, how is this possible? But lychees, coconuts, pineapples, and yellow peaches are all acceptable, and they should all taste pretty good."
Zhong Jing nodded: "Then let's make lychee and coconut! You can also try pineapple."
Forget yellow peaches, not too much.
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "It's still early to start this matter, so don't be in a hurry. Just wait and see. If it's really possible, I'll come over and tell you how to build a workshop. A canning workshop.
, and a workshop for making porcelain jars, all need to be built. Brother Zhong can secretly inquire about the craftsmen who make porcelain. If they are successful, they can be hired at that time. It does not require too high skills to make things.
It doesn’t have to be exquisite, it just needs to be easy to use. If you want to make money from this, you will also have to take care of the lychee forest, weeding, cultivating the soil, or pruning the branches, etc. You can’t rely on the weather alone.”
It's not easy to rely on the weather alone.
Zhong Jing nodded, since so many people were idle anyway, half of them practiced daily and the other half went to work, which was just right.
Zhao Liya added: "There is another problem, that is transportation. Brother Zhong, don't you have several ships at your disposal? You might as well try to go north along the coast and see how long it takes to get to Hangzhou? See if you can
Determine a safe route."
As soon as Zhao Liya finished speaking, everyone looked at her blankly, startling her, and said inexplicably: "What's going on with you guys?"
"Sister Xiaoya!" Zhong Jing's voice sounded a little unsteady, "If we go north from the port of Guangzhan, can we really reach Hangzhou City?"
Yu Xiaofang also said: "Yes, is it really possible to walk like this? Is it far?"
Now it was Zhao Liya's turn to be surprised!
Ah, this—it turns out they don’t even know?
She had no choice but to explain vaguely: "Some geography books I've read before say it's OK, but I don't know what the real situation is."
Zhong Jing couldn't wait to say: "This is easy to do, I will ask someone to give it a try! If it is really feasible, that would be great! Sister Xiaoya, thank you very much!"
"I didn't help much, I was just talking." Zhao Liya pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Zhong told people to be careful when he asked people to try it. It is best to hire a few experienced fishermen who go to sea. Maybe their
The information will be more authentic and detailed.”
The fishermen who make their living by the sea, separated by mountains, naturally know much better than them.
It may not be that fishing boats from the south of the Yangtze River have never visited this area of the sea, but there is no official jurisdiction, let alone special personnel to intervene, and the people will naturally not take it seriously.
As for Zhong Jing, he is stationed here for no special reason, so naturally he won't care about matters at sea - he can't do it on land!
After all, he is so poor.
Zhong Jing was completely convinced by Zhao Liya and nodded without thinking: "Okay, okay, just do what sister Xiaoya said!"
Zhao Liya thought for a while and then smiled and said: "I think we should plant two to three hundred acres of pineapples. If the route is confirmed, the pineapples can be stored and transported, and they can be transported to Jiangnan for sale. By then, there will be fresh ones.
Coconut, jackfruit, dragon fruit, etc., I think you can try them all."
Zhao Liya had a vague impression. The sea route from here to Hangzhou was about seven hundred or dozens of nautical miles. When converted into kilometers, it was close to fifteen hundred kilometers.
The speed of Zhong Jing's big ship is still very good. It can be seen when we go to Hainan Island. It is only about 30 kilometers per hour at a slow speed, and can reach 40 kilometers per hour at a fast speed.
Calculating this way, even including the time to anchor and rest at night, as long as things go well, we can reach Hangzhou city from the port of Guangzhan in two or three days. It is not only much faster than the land route, but also much more convenient.
By then, even her output in Gaolian County will be able to catch a ride - oh no, a ride!
Or you can also take a boat trip to Jiangnan.
Hainan Island is so far away, so there is no reason not to go to Jiangnan, which is so close!
Oh my god, if that's really the case, how can we make canned lychees? Please, just sell them fresh!
Of course, if the output is high, you can also try to put some cans into production. When the lychees are about to be sold out, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell them.
