Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 500 The Power of Spices

In Li Jing's study, Li Jing was laughing all the time, he knew all about what Liu Mu had experienced in Tumidu's place.

"Brother Yao, can you stop laughing. I'm going to worry now."

"Don't laugh, don't laugh. It's really amazing. It's because Tumidu is ignorant, or he likes fruit very much. I know that there is no fruit in Huihe, and it depends on tea. But this canned food is indeed a good thing .” Li Jing said he didn’t laugh, but he still kept laughing.

Liu Mu sighed: "The output, what I worry about is the output. Not to mention Lingnan, we have countless fruits in Tang Dynasty. Many of them can be made into dried fruits and preserved fruits. But more are indeed suitable for making this canned sugar water, but it is troublesome. Right here, I don't have that many cans at all."

"You dare not build a steel workshop in Lingnan, this is the truth of your worries." Li Jing broke the core with one sentence.

Willow nodded.

Li Jing also said: "If Feng An is really disobedient if he builds in the north of Shaoguan, he will also beat Shaoguan and grab the steel workshop. If it is built further north, it will be limited by transportation. It is better to build it in the north of Shaoguan." Along the canal, or directly in Lingnan. The embarrassing thing is that you are not willing to let the steel workshop produce such cans."

"Of course I'm not reconciled. How much can I exchange for a war knife in Huayuan Steel Square, and how much can I exchange for a can." Liu Mu had nothing to hide in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded: "Indeed, but what if the profit of the canned food is big enough?"

"I don't know." Liu Muxin said that canned food can be more profitable than ordnance, which seems impossible.

"Since you don't know, let me discuss with Mr. Su to see how much this can is worth." Li Jing was talking about not only business, but also political value.

Liu Mu asked again: "Brother Yao, how much do you think the Huihe people will pay?"

"Maybe..." Li Jing slowly put a piece of orange in syrup into his mouth, and said slowly, "It's okay to eat a piece of fruit like a fairy fruit."

Li Jing didn't say the price, but Liu Mu was convinced that the price was very expensive, but the Huihe people would answer.

luxurious.

The nobles of the upper class in the Tang Dynasty knew what luxury is. Think about the effort and cost that Yang Yuhuan put in to eat a lychee less than 100 years later.

Li Jing got up: "I'll go talk to Mr. Su."

"You don't ask me, how much does this thing cost?" Liu Mu knocked on the can.

Li Jing shook his head: "No need. I only know that this is a tube made of fine steel, and the fruit inside is soaked in sugar water, and it takes two months to transport it to the north from thousands of miles away. enough."

Li Jing left Liu Mu alone, but after a while Li Jing turned around and came back.

Liu Mu asked, "What did you forget?"

"I haven't forgotten anything. It suddenly occurred to me that Qingzhou has a good harvest of fragrant pears this year. Can I put them in a tube?"

"Of course, rock sugar is processed with a special process. The cannery has a plan for rock sugar pears. This is a top-grade fruit, especially in winter when the sky is dry and the things are dry. The nobles in Chang'an City will definitely like it. Compared with the original ones they eat The surrounding oven pears or boiled pears are several times more delicious.”

Liu Mu said that the pears around the stove are to roast the pears next to the stove, and then eat them.

People in the Tang Dynasty ate fruit, but not much of it was eaten raw.

After listening, Li Jing said: "I just want to ask, there are fruits everywhere. Since the fruits in the north can be packed in tubes, then I know what I know."

Before Liu Mu could ask any more questions, Li Jing had already turned and left.

Seeing Li Jing leave, Liu Mu took out a few pieces of paper and wrote down a few numbers, then threw it into the pen container and took a random one, unexpectedly drawing the highest number he guessed.

A tube of two pennies.

Liu Mu believes that a can of two guan is a sky-high price. When canned fruit with a net weight of only seven and a half catties can be sold for two guan, it must be known that the price of two guan in Datang is almost equal to 1 yuan in later generations.

This is not eating fruit, this is eating silver.

After tearing up a few pieces of paper and throwing them into the waste paper, Liu Mu got up and left Li Jing's study.

At this time, under the arrangement of high performance.People with a certain status in the Huihe tribe are here, and there must be more than 20 large bowls in front of them, which were cooked in front of them.

Some Huihe tribes randomly find a horseman to cook it according to the requirements, some Huihe cooks cook it, and some cooks choose high-performance chefs.

How powerful the spices are, Gao Xing could not imagine, but he knew that he would not eat food without spices right now.

He even didn't know that there had been countless wars waged for spices, and the scale of the war was at the level of a national war.

"Salt, tea...spice!" Tumidu stuck the knife in his hand on the table.

He understood, why did the people sent by Liumu dare to say that as long as he came, he would definitely join Datang.This is not an arrogant statement, but a kind of confidence.

Not cooperation, not an alliance, but refuge.

Even people who don't know how to cook at all cook meat that is much more delicious than before.People on the grasslands don't sprinkle perfume on their bodies, but they definitely spend money on basic living conditions such as food and drink.

"Food with spices is easier to preserve. This is a piece of bacon." Gao Xing took out another piece of jerky.

Tumidu just cut a piece with a knife and tasted it. He no longer doubts that spices are definitely the third indispensable thing on the grassland besides salt and tea.

"His condition?" Tu Midu asked Gao to fulfill it.

Gao Xing bowed slightly: "Honorable Khan, I don't know. My mission is to let you know about spices, that's all."

"Tell him for me that I have to consult with the elders of the tribe and postpone my meeting with him for a day."

"No problem. I'll tell you."

In the evening, Liu Mu was about to go to Su Woling's room when someone came to tell Liu Mu that General Liu Rengui had arrived.

"Have a banquet, let's have a drink together." Liu Mu turned around and walked out, which made Su Erling who was waiting inside feel very disappointed, but she still just waited silently.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Liu Rengui has changed a lot. He lost his original sharpness and became much more restrained.

After sitting down, Liu Rengui put a wooden box on the table and pushed it in front of Liu Mu.

Willow opened it and saw that it turned out to be a three-inch-sized bull's blood red coral, which was different from the ordinary red coral tree, this one belonged to the extremely rare level among corals.

"For my third wife?" Liu Mu asked with a smile.

Liu Rengui replied: "No, this is for you. I dare not keep such things. I heard that such things are extremely rare in the former Sui Palace. As for how you deal with them, it is none of my business. I, I Before leaving, the person Li Daoyan sent to replace me to manage Laizhou had some bad words."
