After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The next day, Aunt Geng went to her neighbor Wang's shop and bought some pottery jars.

"Auntie Geng, why did you buy so many pottery jars?"

The pottery business is an ancestral craft of the Wang family. The Wang couple relied on this craft to support their eldest son's schooling.

In this imperial examination, his son Dalang also successfully passed the examination and became a Juren of Yunzhou.

Even so, the Wang couple did not stop to enjoy their life, but instead tried to save as much money as possible to leave for their children and grandchildren.

"The grapes are coming! Grapes are expensive in Kyoto. I thought of making some grape jars and asking the caravan to take them to Kyoto so that my son Shiro can taste them and give some to his classmates."

When it comes to grape cultivation, Huaishuo Town is the best.

Every household in Huaishuo Town grows some grapes. In August, the grapes gradually ripen and the whole town is full of grapes.

The townspeople would simply make some wine from the grapes or dry them into raisins.

But these grapes are small in size and taste sour and astringent, which is much worse than the grapes from the Western Regions, so the merchants in Kyoto did not consider the grapes from Huaishuo Town.

When the Wangs heard Aunt Geng's reply, they were somewhat speechless: "Grapes are cheap, is it worth sending them all the way to Kyoto?"

Aunt Geng was selecting pottery jars one by one. The ones she selected must be free of cracks, well sealed, and preferably have a large belly and a small mouth. "Aren't I going to save this for winter? If the syrup I make is well preserved, it can be kept from August to winter."

"You're so amazing?!" The Wang couple said, "Then why don't you take the place?"

Aunt Geng waved her hands repeatedly: "I only have this little skill. It's all because my family was poor and couldn't afford to eat the greenhouse fruits in winter. That's why I came up with this idea. How can I give it to the general?"

The Wang couple didn't think so. "You, you! You were so efficient in distributing wool work, how come you are so confused about this matter? I heard from the young lady of the Su family that the people in Kyoto are rich and everyone is willing to spend money on food and drink. In the winter, who doesn't want to eat a bite of fresh fruit?"

Madam Wang also advised: "If you are favored by the governor, you will not only be rewarded, but more importantly, you will find a new way for the people of Yunzhou!"

"It's not easy for your son Silang to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. As his parents, shouldn't you pave the way for him?"

Aunt Geng was somewhat tempted and decided to go back and make a few canned foods and give them to Lady Lumei to see what the general would say.

As Yunzhou enters August, it means that Yunzhou’s border defense will begin to be tightened.

The closer it gets to the harvest season, the more we have to guard against the Tatars in the north moving south.

Especially this year, Yunzhou has a bumper harvest that is visible to the naked eye, and the experimental fields in Woye Town have achieved remarkable results!

In addition to growing grapes, Huaishuo Town also grows corn!

Gu Nanxi specifically asked the emperor for these corn seeds.

Ever since Gu Nanxi gave the corn seeds to the emperor, the Agriculture Department didn't pay much attention to it. They just designated a test field and did some simple planting.

Even so, the yield of corn seeds was still amazing.

Gu Nanxi wrote three memorials in a row before he was awarded ten kilograms of corn seeds.

The other seeds were all left in the Agricultural Department, and no one knew when they planned to promote them throughout Da Zhou.

Yan Tongchu from Huaishuo Town treated these corn seeds as if they were the beads of his eyes, and even drove away passing birds.

This corn seed will naturally give rich rewards if it is carefully cared for.

Yan Tongchu plans to continue his efforts and promote corn cultivation throughout the town next year.

After inspecting the military deployment of Fuming Town, Gu Nanxi returned to the courtyard, took off his armor, and slumped in a chair.

Gu Nanxi counted the things she needed to do on her fingers. After she finished counting, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes. Why were there so many things? !

"Master, Aunt Geng brought you some fresh food, please try it." Lumei brought a clay pot and twisted it hard. With a snap, the pot opened.

Lumei poured the contents of the pottery jar, including the soup and water, into a small white porcelain bowl.

The green flesh floats up and down in the porcelain bowl, looking very delicious.

"Are these peeled grapes?" Gu Nanxi scooped a grape with a spoon and put it into her mouth. It was sweet and sour, and after eating a few of them, her originally poor appetite was completely gone.

The grapes from Yunzhou are not that sweet. Apparently Aunt Geng was afraid that Gu Nanxi would not be used to eating them, so she added sugar to the syrup.

Gu Nanxi took a few bites and suddenly raised her head, as if she suddenly realized something: "This is canned fruit, how long can it be kept?!"

Green Plum: "Aunt Geng said it can last for two to three months. After two to three months, it won't taste as good as it does now, and it may go bad."

Gu Nanxi laughed out loud!

God help me! How could I have forgotten about canned food?

Coincidentally, good news came from Yuyi Town that they successfully extracted rubber from the Eucommia tree!

However, because natural rubber has not undergone the vulcanization process, it easily melts when exposed to high temperatures and hardens when exposed to low temperatures, and does not meet the requirements for making tires.

But it is enough to be used as a sealing ring for canning!

This is definitely a huge industrial chain!

Not only in the north are there fruits, but in the south, especially in Guangdong, there are even more diverse fruits!

If canned fruits can be successfully made, it will be good news for Yunzhou and the southern counties!

By then, Yunzhou will not only be able to sell canned fruits but also sealing rings and do source business!

Thinking of this, Gu Nanxi could no longer sit still and went straight to find Aunt Geng.

Aunt Geng was busy in the kitchen. In the afternoon, she was busy making canned grapes. It was not until the sun set that she had time to cook dinner.

"Auntie Geng, the governor is here!"

As soon as Gu Nanxi's figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, it caused a sensation!

The neighbors in the alley wanted to get close to Gu Nanxi, but they didn't dare. They just opened their bright eyes and looked at Gu Nanxi with admiration.

Bang!

The spatula in Aunt Geng's hand fell to the ground.

Aunt Geng didn't bother to pick it up and rushed out of the room, just in time to see Gu Nanxi knocking on her yard door.

"Sir, why are you here?" Aunt Geng quickly opened the door and welcomed Gu Nanxi in.

The Geng family's yard is not big and is of standard standard, but it is kept very clean and tidy.

Because everyone in the Geng family has something to do, they don't have time to raise livestock, and there is no smell of livestock feces and urine in the air.

Gu Nanxi smiled and said, "I came to ask you how to make canned grapes."

Aunt Geng was flattered and didn't know where to put her hands and feet: "Sir, why are you so polite? It's just a little craft of the common people, why do you have to trouble yourself to come here?"

Gu Nanxi said seriously: "This is no small skill. If it proves to be useful, I will open a canning factory in Yunzhou in the future. I will have to recruit a lot of workers and make a lot of money! And all this is thanks to you, Aunt Geng!"
