164. Connected

Dr. Chen’s students all thought that their husband wanted to go back to Xipo Village just to eat, but it was not.

He suddenly remembered that he had been out for so many months. He was about to return to Chang'an City, but he didn't even buy any local specialties.

When Dr. Chen turned around, his students also turned around. They kept saying that they could not let the teacher go back alone. They were worried about being students, but when they arrived in Xipo Village, they bought none of them.

This can is also something Luo Yong just figured out recently. As long as this thing has a suitable container, it is actually not difficult to make.

Luo Yong's canned foods made before for Dr. Chen and others were cooked directly from the Xu family's hotel. He took them home and processed them later. He put the meat into a porcelain jar, and then steamed the meat and the can and the lids. When the heat is almost done, cover the lid while it is hot. As long as the operation is done properly, ensure that it is fully sterilized and does not leak air, the can will be successfully made.

Luo Yong planned to use all the remaining Eucommia gels in the house to make canned bottles. In addition to canned meat, he also wanted to make some canned fruits when he looked for opportunities.

Although the canned fruits made are not as sweet and delicious as they taste. However, in this era, many people cannot eat a few kinds of fruits throughout the year. As long as they can taste the taste of other fruits, it should be a very fresh and beautiful thing for them.

When he went back to Chang'an City, Luo Yong ate a lot of peaches and plums there. He also put some in the space, thinking that after returning to Xipo Village, he would find an opportunity to take it out for the children at home to try it.

But where is there such a chance? The ripe peaches and plums can only be stored for a few days after picking them. They do not produce these fruits locally and will be transformed from in vain. No matter what excuses they make, it will not make sense.

On the day when Qiao Junlin and others came back, Luo Yong happened to discuss the production of canned fruits with the Wang family in Lishi County.

At the beginning, Luo Yong didn't have so many Eucommia ulmoides that could be used to make canned bottles. He proposed to provide Eucommia ulmoides, and then the Wang family took these Eucommia ulmoides to the south to find a ceramic workshop to make a batch of canned bottles, and then purchased fresh fruits from the local area to make canned fruits.

Because this process is quite cumbersome, the transportation costs are also very high when traveling between Lishi County and the southern region. Therefore, Luo Yong proposed the cooperation condition that for every five canned fruits produced, the Wang family took four, and Luo Yong only had one, but the other party wanted to help him transport the things to Lishi County.

This is a big deal. Canned food is a fresh item. No one has done it before. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that it is so simple. Those fruits and meat can really be left alone for several months and will not break even if they are left.

Because he still had some doubts in his heart, the Wang family did not agree immediately. Luo Yong was not in a hurry. He just left two cans of canned meat that he had just made in the past few days, so that they could keep it for a while before opening it for inspection, and then considering the canned fruits after confirming it personally.

After finishing what should be done, Luo drove back in a donkey cart alone.

The cement road from Lishi County to Xipo Village is very flat. The donkey carts are not bumpy at all. The five pairs of carts in front are much easier than before. They step on the cement road with their steps, making a slight sound.

Suddenly, there was another sound of horse hooves coming from the face. Luo Yong looked back and saw that the familiar carriages were back. Dr. Wang and others had been staying in Xipo Village for so long. Luo Yong had seen their carriages for many times, and had known each other for a long time.

Running in the carriage in the front, someone reached out to lift the cloth curtain in front of the car, and then Luo Yong saw a familiar face revealing from behind the curtain. Who is this person not Qiao Junlin?

Luo Yong laughed as soon as he saw him: "Why are you back?"

Qiao Junlin also smiled and said, "Sir, something has fallen here."

Dr. Chen in the car: "…"

This time, their group was very fierce. After hearing that the canned food produced here would be kept for at least two or three months, they all placed an order for Luo Yong as if they didn't have money.

This canned meat is not cheap, the can itself is not expensive, but the can is expensive, but these big and young men from Chang'an City obviously did not take the dozens of cents seriously. Besides, the can can be reused. Even if it is broken and cannot be used, at least it can still take down the piece of Eucommia glue and save it. Maybe it can make a pair of soles in the future.

They were also a little anxious. After all, it took another five or six days to wait, and the time for the Imperial College to ask them to return to school was getting closer.

During the next two days, Luo Yong was not only making canned food but also making canned food every day. On hot days, he wandered around the stove all day long, and he was really tired and hot.

Fortunately, there was another Qiao Junlin who came to help him, but no one else wanted to come to Luo Yong. He didn't plan to spread the skills of making canned meat.

"Stay for a while, I'll help you watch the fire." After putting a few cans in the pot and steamed them again, Qiao Junlin said to Luo Yong, who was obviously sleepy.

"Then please help me watch it for a while, the fire doesn't need to burn too much." Luo Yong was not polite, and then climbed onto a Hu bed next to him. On this hot day, the kang on the kitchen is connected to the stove, so I will definitely not be able to sleep at this moment. There is a Hu bed in the corner, with a low table on it, and sometimes their family members are eating here too.

He said that he wanted Qiao Junlin to help him watch for a while, but Luo closed his eyes and completely fell asleep.

Qiao Junlin didn't call him, and followed Luo's previous steps to make canned food, steaming cans one pot after another to make canned food.

It was getting darker outside. During dinner, Si Niang came here and saw Luo Yong was sleeping, so she didn't call him, but just brought some food to Qiao Junlin, and said that his brothers' meals were in the pot at the grocery store.

Nowadays, the Luo family yard no longer does business, but the room used to open a grocery store is still the place where their brothers and sisters are most frequently engaged. Basically, they cook and have leisure time there. They only come to the kitchen when cooking and only go to the hall when important guests come to the house.

The sky outside quickly became completely dark. Qiao Junlin lighted an oil lamp on the stove, burning the fire slowly, and making cans.

From time to time, I looked at the guy who was sleeping heartlessly on Hu's bed, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny. I looked at a very smart person on weekdays, but why did I look like a three-year-old child, and I just said to sleep, but I didn't wake up as soon as I fell asleep.

In fact, Luo Yong is heartless. He has never made such a mistake on weekdays. He has survived the night when he should stay up late. Today is just because Qiao Junlin is here. He knows in his heart that even if he falls asleep, it will definitely be fine, so he can sleep peacefully.

Although Qiao Junlin is young, he is quite reliable. He doesn't look like his peers at all. In fact, they are not of the same age. Even the youngest among Bai Yimao is still one or two years older than Qiao Junlin.

Because Qiao Junlin is here, he also knows that he has learned how to make this can, and he also knows that he will definitely take over the work after he falls asleep, so Luo Yong has a peaceful sleep.

On the other hand, Luo Yong slept peacefully, and on the other hand, Qiao Junlin felt the same.

The time that had always passed by rapidly seems to have regained its original pace at this moment, and the originally anxious and erratic heart also became very stable at this moment.

Qiao Junlin couldn't tell what he felt about Luo Yong. He was obviously two completely different people, and the paths he chose were completely different, so why did he feel that he was so similar?

It’s like two seemingly unrelated bamboo branches in a bamboo forest. Under the soil, perhaps one of their rhizomes is connected...

Before dawn the next day, when Luo Yong woke up, Qiao Junlin had already left. He placed a lot of processed canned meat in the kitchen against the wall. The ceramic jars were placed on the ground, reminding Luo Yong of the watermelons he had seen in his fellow villagers' homes before.

At this time, it should be the time to eat watermelons, but unfortunately they don’t have watermelons here, and there seems to be no watermelons in the entire Central Plains. There is really nothing to do in this era, but because someone is willing to help him stay up late to work, Luo Yong thinks that he can be patient without watermelons.

On this day, Qiao Junlin and the others were about to set off again. Luo Yong sent the goods one by one to the people who ordered the goods, collected the money and sent them to the entrance of the village again.

I watched the young man get on the carriage, and watched the carriages take him farther and farther away.

For some reason, Er Niang and the others had just left for a while, and Luo Yong was always worried, always thinking that she had gone too far and had not received her news for too long.

However, no matter how far he went or how long it took for him to have no news, Luo Yong never had any worries.

Because Qiao Junlin is such a person. No matter what kind of storm he encounters, he can always come over. No matter how long it takes, when the next time he meets, the first stubborn boy will always be the first.

As the young man grew up, he regarded the helpless time he had been.
