Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 132 Canned Food
Li Er took the can and looked it up, wondering what was inside and how to open it?

Li Er observed for a while but didn't understand it, so he had to ask Zhao Han how to open it, and what was in the can?
Zhao Han took the canned food from Li Er's second hand and said to Li Er: "There is a pull ring here, and it will be opened when you pull it hard. It contains cooked meat, which can quickly restore the soldiers' physical strength. It is much better than your previous food and grass. ? And it’s easy to carry, Your Majesty, how would you like this meat? Does it suit your taste?”

Zhao Han handed the opened can to Li Er. Li Er took the can and saw that the can was full of air-dried meat. Li Er took a piece out of the can and put it in his mouth. At this moment, Eunuch Zhang stopped him and said: " Your Majesty, let this old servant taste it first."

The emperor ate food that someone specially tried to eat. He was afraid that others would poison the emperor. Zhao Han didn't know if it was poisonous when he took out the can. The personal eunuch was not afraid to let Li Er eat it directly. Try it first, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong felt a little uncomfortable when they heard Zhang Gonggong's words, did they not believe Xiaohan?But they didn't say anything. After all, it was their duty. If something happened to His Majesty, they would have to be buried with him one by one. If they didn't process it, they still felt uncomfortable.

Li Er waved his hand to Eunuch Zhang and said, "Xiaohan is my son-in-law, I believe he won't put poison in this can again, Eunuch Zhang, you don't have to worry, it's fine."

What Li Er said made Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong feel a lot more comfortable. After Li Er finished speaking, he directly put the meat in his hand into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, Li Er felt that the meat in the can tasted very good, and it was as good as the imperial meal. Fang did it, Li Er handed the canned food to Wei Zheng and the others beside him, asking them to taste the meat in the canned food as well.

The can was not big, and the meat inside could not be tasted by all the princes. Seeing that he hadn't got any meat, Yuchi Gong simply ran to Zhao Han and asked Zhao Han for another can, then opened the can and left the rest without tasting. The princes of the country shared the meat in the can.

After everyone tasted the canned food, they felt that the meat in the canned food tasted good, and looking at the weight of the canned food, they could eat three or four canned food a day, which was much better than the previous food.

Li Er asked curiously: "Xiao Han, what kind of meat is in this can? Why didn't I taste it? It doesn't feel like mutton or beef."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, Zhao Han explained to everyone: "The meat in this can is made of pork."

Gao Shilian said with a look of disbelief: "No way? I have eaten pork before, but doesn't pork have a fishy smell? Why doesn't this old man feel the fishy smell of the meat in this can at all?"

Zhao Han explained: "The pork you eat has not been castrated, so you will feel that the pork has a fishy smell when you eat it, but the pork I can eat is all castrated, so you don't feel fishy when you eat it. taste."

Li Er and everyone else didn't understand that castrating pigs wouldn't smell fishy?Zhao Han didn't know either, he just read the posts on the Internet and saw it, so he didn't know why there was no fishy smell after castration.

Zhao Han didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say: "It's too much trouble to talk about it. You know that castrated pork has no fishy smell."

When everyone saw Zhao Han, they didn't explain why pork had no fishy smell. Maybe this was Zhao Han's unique skill, so they didn't ask any further.

Li Er asked Zhao Han: "Xiaohan, the can you took out is really good, and it is much better than the food and grass in our Tang Dynasty before, and there is salt in the meat, which can also supplement the lack of strength caused by the lack of salt in the soldiers. This can is a good food. Good stuff, but I don’t know how much the canned food is worth?”

Zhao Han thought about it, there are twenty cans in this box of cans, and one box is ten exchange points, which means the cost is ten guan. If he sells [-] guan, Li Er may not be able to accept it, which is much more expensive than grain and grass. , even if Li Er wanted to buy it, he would definitely not be able to buy much. If he made it himself, the cost would be much lower, and about five hundred coins per box would be enough.

Zhao Han asked the system: "System, come out, I have something to ask you."

"Host, why are you looking for me? This system still needs to sleep."

"Don't sleep, let me ask you, is there a canning machine in the system?"

"Host, wait a moment, I'll look for Ang."

Zhao Han waited for a few seconds, and the system said: "Back to the host, the system has a machine that specializes in canning, and there are many kinds of exchange prices. This system knows that you are a poor ghost, and will not tell you about those modern equipment. The cheapest It takes 50 exchange points to make a canning machine, and this system is showing mercy by giving you a guide for making cans, because this equipment is a machine from the [-]s, and you won’t be able to use it even if you exchange it.”

Zhao Han felt that the price was acceptable to him, but he didn't know how many cans a machine could produce in a day?Zhao Han asked the system: "How many boxes of canned food can this machine produce in a day?"

"Back to the host, after all, it is a machine from the 50s. The production capacity is definitely not particularly high. It can produce a thousand boxes of canned food in a day."

Zhao Han calculated in his mind that if Datang sent 10 troops, one box would be enough for ten people a day, and that 10 people would need [-] boxes of canned food a day. Only two months.

Zhao Han's calculation surprised himself. War is really a money-burning machine. Zhao Han did the math. According to Li Er's request, he needs to exchange one hundred machines. To fight the Turks, at least I have to wait until next winter. I still have a year and a half, so I don’t worry at all. It is enough to exchange five sets, and even if Li Er doesn’t fight in the future, I can still sell this can. A way to make money.

After Zhao Han made up his mind, he said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, there are twenty cans in one box, and one box needs two cans."

Li Er heard that the price given by Zhao Han is a bit more expensive than grain and grass, but it is meat and can also add salt, so it is worthwhile if it is more expensive, Li Er nodded and said: "Okay, I can accept this price, but I still don't feel relieved , I plan to launch a war against the Turks this winter, can you make this can? I need at least 10 people a month."

Zhao Han knew that Li Er would definitely not attack the Turks this year, so he had to wait until next year, Zhao Han had time, Zhao Han said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about this, there is no problem at all."

When Li Er heard Zhao Han's affirmative answer, Li Er was relieved.
