In Lishi County, the Ma Wang family is one of the best merchants. If you talk about the connections in Chang'an City, the Wang family is not as good as the Ma family. But if you want to talk about financial resources, the Wang family is currently better than the Ma family.

Luo Yong's biggest creditor is the Wang family. Not to mention the initial conflict, they have been getting along well in the past two years.

When the road was built in Xipo Village, the Wang family also pledged a long road. Later, something happened in Chang'an City. The local merchants and wealthy families in Lishi County supported Luo Sanlang, and gave Luo Yong great support in both financial resources and public opinion.

Although relatively speaking, Luo Yong was still closer to the Ma family, but this time this canned transaction, considering that the Ma family's market is mainly in Chang'an City, and the south is still under development, Luo Yong went to find the Wang family first.

I heard that the Ma family plans to develop the southern market this time, and they also want to cooperate with the Wang family.

Last time, Ma Silang and Wang Jinhuai and others from the Wang family went south to purchase Du Zhongshu seeds, but they were trapped in the mountains. During that period, the group supported each other and overcome difficulties. They talked about life and ideals, and also said many heartfelt words. So after coming back this time, the relationship between the Ma Wang and the Wang family was also heating up rapidly.

When Luo Yong went to the Wang family that day, the head of the Wang family was very enthusiastic and thoughtful. However, he never gave a good word about canned food production, because this guy didn't believe there was really a way to store fruits for several months without rotting or deteriorating.

A few days later, Wang Jinhuai came back from the south and heard his uncle say this, he immediately took it seriously, because in the first place, their Wang family and Na Luo Sanlang were always separated, and everything fell behind the Ma family. Now, Na Luo Sanlang rarely comes to him by himself. Even if he is a loss-making business, the Wang family has no reason to retreat.

Besides, how can Luo Sanlang really do business at a loss?

Wang Jinhuai pulled the corner of his mouth, and he had to have a can of Luo Sanlang in the five cans. He was not afraid. What were their Wang family afraid of?

"It's a rare opportunity to encounter such a chance. Why did my uncle push it out? It's just a small canned business. Even if it's a loss, can our Wang family still not afford to lose?" Wang Jinhuai said to his uncle.

Although Wang Jinhuai is just the cousin of the current head and the most capable young man in their generation. According to the other uncles in the family, he also vaguely wants him to become the next head, but his uncle still wants his son to inherit the position of head of the family. In the past two years, the conflicts within the Wang family have become increasingly fierce.

While the conflict intensified, the Wang family's business in Jiangnan was developing very well. Wang Jinhuai and his team had already opened up their own place in Jiangnan. That is, in Lishi's hometown, they had to listen to his uncle's boss everywhere.

"Where did you learn etiquette? In Jiangnan, what is the nephew talking to your uncle?" The Wang family accused Wang Jinhuai of not respecting him enough.

"I was anxious for a moment, and I hope my uncle should not be surprised." Wang Jinhuai was also a capable person, so he immediately bowed his head and apologized.

"Since I'm anxious for a moment, how can I blame you?" Wang Dangjia waved his hand and said, "I didn't just say I didn't want to do this business. So, Luo Sanlang also left a few jars, let's check whether this jar is really so effective."

After hearing what he said, Wang Jinhuai was even more dissatisfied. He paid the most attention to the timing of business. He said that there was a Ma family who was eyeing him. Just talking about the transaction of canned fruits, if the season was missed, what kind of canned food would be made this year? It would be a waste of time to wait for another year.

"If my uncle feels that this matter is not safe enough, why don't I let me do it first. In the past two years, there will be fruits in several small villages in Jiangnan where we have purchased silk cloth." Wang Jinhuai forced himself to suppress his dissatisfaction and said to his uncle with a kind look.

"Oh, the young man is just anxious and can't even wait for these few days." His uncle sighed and said, "Well, you should do it as soon as you do it. If you do it, it will be a contribution to our Wang family."

If you don’t do well, then Wang Jinhuai’s support rate at home will naturally drop.

Wang Jinhuai left the hall and asked the servants to prepare horses for him. When he got on the horse, he turned around and looked at the Wang family courtyard behind him, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his lips.

How could he not know the little things in his uncle's mind? After all, he was just trying to compete for his son's family wealth and status.

However, he didn't know that even if they had left the Wang family compound, they could continue to do their own business in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years.

Now it is no longer Wang Jinhuai and others who need to rely on the Wang family compound, but this family needs their capable young people to support and develop together.

It’s ridiculous that his uncle has not yet understood this truth. He is full of heart and eyes, and can only see the Wang family compound in front of him.

Wang Jinhuai came to Xipo Village when Luo Yong received him. The two had a good chat. Then the legendary villain and the coffin Baner decided to start the canning business together.

As the price of Luo Yong providing them with Eucommia gel, the Wang family had to give a can of Luo Yong for every five cans of fruit made.

But this is only the first year. By the second and third year, the Wang family and the others will also produce Eucommia ulmoides. There are many Eucommia ulmoides seeds in their manor now.

Besides, they don’t have to wait until their own saplings grow. They might have found other sources of Eucommia ulmoides. No matter how much the emperor controls, there will still be some fish that miss the net.

So in the second and third years, they will have another solution, that is, Luo spends his own money to purchase canned fruits from Wang Huaijin, of course, the price is definitely lower than the market price.

The two parties signed a contract, and Wang Huaijin had to supply Luo Yong every year, the amount and price of each can are clearly written.

This cooperation method is very similar to when Luo Yong bought cashmere from Zhao Chen and others. At that time, Luo Yong taught Zhao Chen the skills of making sauce, and then asked the other party to trade cashmere for fermented bean curd with him for two more years. As the price of cashmere soared, the Zhao family still sticks to the original promise.

I hope that this time, the Wang family can also keep this agreement between them.

A few days later, Wang Jinhuai stayed in Xipo Village to learn to make canned fruits.

There are no fruits in Lishi County this season. Apart from some wild fruits, the most common one is sour apricots. These sour apricots are really sour. If they are eaten directly without steaming, most people can't bear it. Luo Yong guessed that people in this era like to steam fruits before eating them, which is likely to be related to the fact that the fruits in this era are generally sour and bitter.

Compared with the 21st century, fruits are very rare at this time, and the varieties are generally not very good.

However, if it is only used for canning, the quality of the fruit is not very high, because during the steaming process, the acidic substances in the fruit will be damaged, so they will not taste too sour.

In order to increase the sweetness of canned apricots, they also tried to put sweet dates in the canned food, which was quite effective.

If you are in a place where sugarcane is produced in the south, you can squeeze some sugarcane juice and cook it together. The taste will definitely be better than adding sweet dates.

Wang Jinhuai learned this method of making canned food, took away all the Eucommia ulmoides on hand, and then went to Xueji Pottery House to find Xue Weng, borrowed a young man from the Xue family from him, and then rushed to the south without stopping, preparing to do a big fight.

On the other side, Dr. Chen and his friends rushed to Chang'an City within the time required by the school.

The first thing these people do when they go back is to deliver local specialties to their classmates and colleagues.

"I wrote to you a letter saying that the Dongpo pork in Xipo Village is delicious. You didn't say I'm bragging, so I'll ask you to try it this time."

"What, it's broken for so long? You can open it yourself and have a look."

"I won't drive it, right? It's okay, I'll drive it for you."

"How about it, I haven't seen this way of eating before?"

Soon, these canned foods from Xipo Village caused quite a stir in Chang'an City.

Many students and teachers are proud to have eaten this kind of canned food. It is something from Xipo Village. On this hot day, I have been kept in the jar for several days. Not only is it not bad at all, but the taste is also very good. Compared with the famous restaurants and restaurants in Chang'an City, it has a unique flavor.

"The price is so affordable. Have you heard of this big serving of braised lamb for only a few cents."

“The taste is really good.”

"They have better slots there!"

"I heard that cold dishes are delicious, and you can buy a large plate for two or three cents." The focus of everyone's attention is nothing more than low price and deliciousness.

On this day, His Majesty the Emperor invited several ministers under his command to visit the garden to enjoy the scenery and talk about family matters.

After swimming, everyone sat in a stone pavilion, and a maid came up with tea and fruit snacks. Everyone was having snacks while chatting. During the meal, someone mentioned the matter of canned meat.

"The canned food from Xipo Village is indeed so delicious?" someone asked.

"It's not bad. My son and a student who went to Lishi County have always been good. This time he got a can. I tasted a few bites and the taste was really good." A person next to him replied.

"What can is your son holding?" someone asked immediately.

"It's that Dongpo pork." The other party replied.

"But I only heard the name but didn't know the taste." One person said regretfully.

"I was lucky enough to taste the canned food two days ago, but it was not Dongpo pork." Another person was present and spoke.

"Then what meat are you eating?"

"Is it tasty?"

"Wow, old man, you have a wide range of friends."

"My friends are really not a single one, and I never thought about taking me with me when I was eating meat."

"My old friend is pretty good. If I can't get a whole can, I'll get me a small can."

"Wow! You are your true friend!"

When it comes to this canned meat, the atmosphere in the stone pavilion is so exciting. I have eaten it and I have been envious of it. In addition, everyone is also very novel about the method of preserving the canned meat.

"Your Majesty has tasted that canned meat." Finally, someone still remembers that His Majesty the Emperor was there at this time.

"No." The emperor said, "I thought to myself when will you guys send me a can for me to taste, but I haven't waited until now."

Ministers:...

"That doctor of Imperial College is called Chen Mian?" His Majesty the Emperor asked again.

Ministers:...

"Ah snee!" Dr. Chen, who was outside the palace wall, suddenly sneezes.

"What, I caught a cold?" asked the friend sitting opposite him.

"Nothing is wrong." Dr. Chen picked up the wine cup and took a sip of sake: "Xiao Xiao catches cold, just take a few sips of sake to drive away the cold."

"The braised meat in Xipo Village is really delicious." It's rare that you don't have to go to work today. My friends gathered together to drink and eat meat, which was so comfortable.
