Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

The high-temperature desert is a hopeless place for Terra agriculture. For Lao Xia, who can synthesize soil and have sufficient fertilizers, and can draw water from deep layers and even divert water from Iberia to desalinate irrigation, this is the place to grow sugar cane, watermelon and What a great place for potatoes!

Moreover, it is said that Kazdel has the most infected people. After all, Sarkaz has a susceptibility to ore disease, which just happened to get Tallulah's initial success of the integration movement.Then drive the local agriculture, sugar and fruit industries to the brink with maximum efficiency and speed—yes, this is capitalism—and capitalism in Terra is too old to play, socialism wants to Don't even think about it.

So, a few days later, a strange company named "Big White Rabbit Sugar Industry" was established in an even weirder atmosphere. Dessert feeling.

In fact, every so often, this leather bag company with a registered capital of [-] Longmen coins, no office, no contact address, and even a few employees, and only a dedicated line transferred by the Rhode Island Department of Communications, launches a new product that leaves Lao Xia stunned. Product - Vodka Liquor Candies!

The tasters, including Yelena, gave unanimous praise, and then she was caught by Lao Xia and trained for a long time-what kind of wine do children drink! ?

Chapter 92 Jam Launch

More than 1 tons of sugar, when harvesting and manufacturing, everyone was as happy as something, but in a blink of an eye, they all collapsed, because more than 1 tons of sugar could not be consumed by the nearby population.

The result is either everyone eats sugar water for a whole winter and suffers from collective diabetes the next year, or it knocks the price of sugar on the floor in nearby towns and even post-blockade Usas.

This is not the most troublesome part. The most troublesome thing is that even if you are mentally prepared to price sugar at the price of cabbage, you still need to have a capacity of more than 1 tons. It is really difficult to deal with it in time.

And we have to prevent those Ursus nobles from blackmailing and forcible expropriation. Even if there are no such problems, find a way to collect them yourself. Once the news leaks out... Do you know how the great voyage happened?That goes without saying.

For the peace of Ursus, the glory of the emperor and the strategy of the duke, no noble will throw his money and troops into the snow field to die, but for sugar and spices... then Xia Lin has to face The Crusades hit the scales too.

And there is no distinction between nobles and civilians infected, but any forces with some assets and the ability to hire Sarkaz mercenaries must participate. After all, things like sugar have served as an inducement for several wars on Earth.

Not to mention the triangular black slave trade and southern plantations that Americans engaged in in order to grow sugar cane and spices, and the European colonial system was almost also based on the sugar, coffee and spice trade.

Therefore, if he really exposes the production of more than 1 tons of sugar per year, he will really have to face the joint attack of all Ursus factions. Therefore, this sugar must be digested through other channels, at least not Such an intuitive way to sell granulated sugar directly.

Fortunately, cloudberry has also entered the mature period, so cloudberry jam is the most sugar-consuming berry. Cloudberry is a berry with a sweet and sour taste similar to yogurt, and high-sugar berries are not uncommon in Ursas. It's just that berry plants have the characteristics of slow growth and difficult artificial cultivation.

The golden cloudberries are dotted among the green leaves of the shrubs like fine pieces of gold, and the women and girls in gloves are lined up in a sparse formation, and the thin ones are gradually harvested on the mountain like pulling a net.

The maturity standard of cloudberry is that the skin is softened and the juice is full. If the skin is still hard, it means that it is not yet fully ripe. In the Middle Ages of Northern Europe, picking cloudberries was one of the main tribal activities of Viking girls. Store them Used as medicine and food reserve.

Fully ripe cloudberries are very plump and juicy, and the skin is thin and soft. It is commonly known as rotten when touched. They must be picked very gently and placed in a basket. Each layer should not be piled up in large quantities to avoid crushing and cracking.

Considering that the cloudberries planted by Xia Lin are used for jam, not for cold storage, it is not necessary to follow the picking standards of the Star Alliance too much. Even if there are slight cracks, it does not matter, as long as a large number of cloudberries are not crushed.

The cloudberry jam designed by Xia Lin is made according to the standard of crazy sugar addition, and the sweetness will be so sweet that it is almost cloying. Of course, it may be very popular for the winter in Ursas.

This kind of sweet, greasy, slightly sour and milky jam can greatly improve its rough taste and bland taste when spread on Daliba, and in the winter of Ursas, sugar is the lifeline. Sugar is life!

The production of cloudberry jam is very simple, and it belongs to the type that can be made by the family. Because the peel of cloudberry is very easy to break, and the peel itself contains considerable natural antibiotic ingredients, it can prevent the jam from deteriorating, so it is generally not necessary to use a wall breaking machine. Broken processing.

After cleaning the cloudberries harvested by the girls, they are poured directly into small pots, and 300 grams of sugar is added according to the weight of each pot of about 500-250 grams. In fact, even serious cloudberry jam is Put almost half a bag of sugar down there.

Next, add a small amount of water and start to cook until it becomes light golden...well, a slightly disgusting sticky and strongly grainy sauce colloid, in order to thicken, you can also add a little Eat the gelatin sheets and end up with a big jar of cloudberry jam.

[Cloudberry sauce is not pretty at all, and after cooking, you will feel like...something from someone with diarrhea]

And half of these cloudberry jams are packaged and sold, and their consumption methods include pouring on waffles or muffins, and using them as a bread companion.Cloudberry is one of the high-sugar berries used to make top-quality ice cream and desserts, and Xia Lin is a luxury-grade cloudberry, which has an even better taste and a rich milky aroma.

It is really helpless to use cloudberry jam to make wild sugar. Of course, Xia Lin still asked Yelena to take Talula and the others to collect cloudberries by themselves. Also plant more berries like cranberries, blueberries, etc.

Don’t even think about strawberries. Strawberries are too delicate. In the wilds of Usas, there might not be a cold snap, and the mountains will die suddenly. It’s better to plant these hard-skinned crops.

The other is that a small batch of high-quality cloudberry jam and cloudberry ice cream can be produced as a luxury for internal digestion. He is not farming here to help the local people get rid of poverty and become rich. Possibility to restore your own level of enjoyment.

It is normal to withhold a batch of cloudberries with the best taste, sweetness, and fragrance as a special product for oneself to enjoy, and no one has any objections—the entire farm is his, and breeding, seedlings, and fertilizers are all involved. It's his. As a farmer, it's so fucking normal to keep the best quality crops for himself.

What's more, if Lao Xia turns this batch of cloudberries into a commodity and buys things for everyone, other people will be flattered instead, thinking that this has exceeded the limit of goodwill, and they have other plans.

"Old Xia! Look at what I picked!" The white rabbit ran over bouncing and holding a rattan basket, which contained a basket of cloudberries, while Tallulah's face turned red, and she held a jar , why jars?Since most of it was broken, Alina found her a jar to put it in.

"Look, I always pick the biggest one with the most beautiful color"

"Well, not bad" are all fully ripe cloudberries stuck at the end of their short ripening period, which is the best tasting period and the best material for making cakes, desserts and ice cream.

"Talulah... Forget it, you should help everyone lay the floor, this delicate work is not suitable for you" Lao Xia hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say directly to her "You better not waste My precious cloudberry."

Paving the ground refers to the process of breaking up the soil that has been planted with beets, the soil is severely compacted and desertified, and the organic matter loss is heavy, and mixed with Xia Lin's synthetic soil humus to become new soil.

It is probably too much to expect that when chemical fertilizers are applied, the crops will only absorb the fertility of the chemical fertilizers and not secrete humic acid to promote the mineralization of humus and release nutrients.

After all, long before humans learned to use chemical and organic fertilizers, various crops, including sugar beet, had been planted on a large scale and directly contributed to soil degradation in, for example, the Guanzhong region of China.

If plants really never loot the organic matter of the soil, then the development of agriculture is really smooth sailing and there is no pressure. If that is the case, it is estimated that only God can fertilize to explain how the protein raw materials needed for plant growth come from. That's the problem.

The second round of crops was wheat. There was no way. The original plan was soybeans, but the soybean seedlings were all killed by the natural disaster-level ice storm. After all, the low temperature below -100 is really not a burden that plants can bear.

Now the new soybeans are still in the breeding stage, so don’t expect to have enough seeds in a short period of time, but the number of wheat seeds is enough after two rounds of breeding, and rice can be planted next spring, and there are enough rice seeds .

In order to cope with the harsh environment of the alien planet, the yield of the improved wheat is not high, about 650 kilograms per mu, but the advantage is that it can still be planted normally even in the damned frozen soil and low temperature weather like Ursas, and it guarantees a higher yield. Growth rate.

But Xia Lin's rice is another extreme. The conditions are harsh, and it can only be planted in the hottest spring and summer in Usas, and then harvested quickly. The advantage is that the yield is very amazing, and it is the type that pursues extreme yield.

Fast-growing wheat completes the work of base fertilizer, planting, and ridge sealing in the shortest time and the fastest speed, and completes the work of rushing to plant in an extremely rough and extensive way. After all, it is designed to rush to plant in such an extensive situation. use.

Cloudberry cake, cloudberry ice cream, and canned cloudberry jam were placed on the dining table under the expectant eyes of the white rabbit. The cake and ice cream were rewards for her help, while the canned jam was a product to try.

The cake covered with a layer of golden cloudberry sauce is about 6 inches, divided into eight portions by a cake knife, and everyone who tried it had one portion.

"Well, it's delicious~" Amiya wasn't old enough to give any orderly evaluation, but it didn't prevent her from thinking that this was the best food she had ever eaten.The sweet and sour cloudberry sauce paired with cakes fermented with milk, honey, eggs and barley flowers is simply a luxury that can only be enjoyed by emperors. In fact, it is certain that Emperor Ursas can eat it, but he is reluctant It's hard to say when you eat it.

"This thing can't be sold, and it can't be priced." Kelsey said with a spoon in her mouth. "If you follow the standard of conventional Ursus desserts, yours should be a special offering for royal wedding banquets, and you will be chased by the Ministry of Finance." The level of scolding."

"That's right, let me correct my lord. Your Majesty's wedding banquet will not have such luxuries. The empire's finances are not... ideal." The patriot shook his head in a muffled voice.

"This? This is not for sale, this is for Yelena, just let everyone try it." Xia Lin scratched her head, "I don't plan to open a pastry factory, and it's not convenient to transport after making it."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The white rabbit hugged a large piece of cake, and his face was stained with jam.

"Jam~" the patriot tasted a little, "It's very sweet, it should be easy to sell." Sweets are easy to sell when productivity is underdeveloped, especially in winter.

"Then what price would be better?"

"5000 Longmen coins, if it is less, it will attract suspicion." Kelsey and Talula agreed that a can of [-] Longmen coins is a reasonable price, and it is more accurate to say that it is a "reasonable low price" rather than a will. It makes people wonder where your sugar and fruits come from, and whether they were snatched without spending money.

"I understand." Xia Lin nodded. It happened that he still owed Rhodes Island a large sum of purchasing money, and he just sold the blood back, but how to transport it to the south and turn it into money is a problem.

"I can solve part of the transportation problem. This is...hard currency. In fact, you don't need to worry so much." Kelsey said that she could solve part of it. It happened that the troops in General Herag's territory were too Due to their strict compliance with the rules, the military pay is often insufficient, so it should be no problem to let them undertake the transportation work.

When the farm is not enough to organize large-scale transport capacity, relying on partners, it is inevitable for the noble class to eat money. Since this phenomenon is inevitable, it is very important to let the nobles eat money.

Obviously, both the Patriot and Kelsey believed that Herag could be trusted. After all, some of the Patriot's supplies had also come from his territory before, but the general chose to turn a blind eye.

Soon, after completing the rough planting of fast-growing wheat, Amiya Logistics, a subsidiary of the Integration Movement, transported tons of boxed biscuits baked with cloudberry jam and moss wheat flour to a hidden area on the edge of the blockade In the camp.

Even with Kelsey pulling Herag's tiger skin, the local military officers still took over a considerable amount of transportation routes, and demanded a commission rate of up to 20%-tons of high-sugar jam Luxurious goods passing by, without Herag's tiger skin, he has the courage to collect everything from you.

"Lord, you are causing me trouble again." Herag, who had just returned to the garrison area, received Kelsey who came with the convoy with a tired face, "Use the army's transport team to help you transport things... ..You are embarrassing me, I can only help you once at most, it is impossible for a long time."

"Don't be so sure, General, this time it's nothing troublesome. Even if someone reports it to His Majesty the Emperor, I think he will understand."

"What is it? The pure source stone? You raided the mine to get the ammunition? Or the infected people? Or pure gold?" Herag really didn't look at what it was, because the previous " Help" He wouldn't bother to ask.

If he knew, it would be disloyal not to report to the empire, and it would be unrighteous to report to betray his colleagues, so he was happy that he didn't know anything.

"It's food"

"Food? Are you crazy?" The snowfield of Ursas lacks food the most. Winter is coming soon, and it will be the most terrifying time for Ursus. Food is life at this time. Who will transport it out at this time? food.

"Luxury food, we need to turn them into money and then into normal food and seeds, General, we are not messing around and destroying"

"Yes, if you are such a person, I will not do you any favors even for the sake of your lord." "What the hell?"

"Jam and biscuits, I promise, as long as they are transported to the border of Victoria, you can get a 20% commission, compared to the soldiers under your command, it will be very difficult in winter."

"...You convinced me." Herag was actually very curious about why they would do such a thing, and wanted to refuse, because it was too outrageous to use the army's transport convoy to transport supplies to the nominal enemy.

However, he did need money and food, and his subordinates needed it, so he was forced to choose the latter between his personal honor and his subordinates.

"Five thousand Longmen coins? Are you guys crazy, or am I crazy!?" Ke Luxie, who was entering Ursus along the Casimir corridor on the border of Victoria, was shocked.

Kelsey asked her to keep some operators and personnel who are good at logistics, and start selling a batch of supplies in the name of the White Rabbit Snack Company.

This is normal, before they used Xiaolu Bee Industry to sell a batch of honey in Longmen, if not for the insufficient tonnage, they almost killed the two bee farms in Longmen.

Although I don't know why there are so many subsidiaries under the Rhode Island brand, and Rhode Island itself has reached a series of complicated business agreements with a strange agricultural product group, but if it's just selling things, there is no difficulty.

Especially when preparing food for winter, there is absolutely no need to worry about selling food. Terra’s industrial products may have sufficient output and productivity, but agricultural products are definitely the short board among the short boards. Mobile cities are fundamentally not suitable for agricultural production—— It's like nomadic farming in Europe.

Without chemical fertilizers and improved seeds, it would be considered a bumper harvest if one planted and five harvested. Under such circumstances, it would be strange to expect that Terra would not be short of food.

Judging from Tallulah's recollection, the Ursas pickets even blackmailed a little temella in the hands of farmers, as well as their extortion of temella and raspberries. It can be seen that in Ursas, even It is the low-level and middle-level bureaucrats like pickets who are short of food.

Either the price of moss wheat is not low, so extorting wheat is a very important income, or it is extortion to eat - no matter what it is, it means that food is scarce and the price is high

"No way, this is the price set by the above, we are just a delivery person"

The escorts of the integration movement in front of them said that they didn’t know anything. They were just driving a military supply ship with containers and stacking the goods on the border at a temporary logistics transfer station. Shipping teams get people selling inside Victoria's Mobile City Warehouse.

"It can't be cheaper for a penny."

"No... what I mean is, does the five thousand Longmen coins mean a can or a little?" Ke Luxie looked at the "kilogram" biscuit barrel and jam jar in front of her.

Ordinary biscuits at [-] Longmen coins per kilogram may be an expensive luxury. Of course, considering their biscuits are filled with honey, eggs, and a lot of sugar, [-] Longmen coins can only be said to be reasonably priced and affordable. Affordable, Victorian aristocrats would not mind having a pairing of black tea for afternoon tea.

However, your jam is still a berry jam like cloudberry, with a lot of sugar in it, and a can of [-] Longmen coins is still in kilograms. Are you going to bankrupt all the jam factories in Victoria?

"Five thousand a can, that's what was explained above, we have a large supply of goods here, and after that, there will be transport teams coming to dock one after another." Of course, it was the military transport ship of Ursas that drove to the flag. .

As for how these goods came from, no one will ask, and the warlords of Ursus will not.

Victoria's nobles would not ask, and Casimir did not ask except for a few knights, and everyone could understand it, just like Amiya Logistics is still supplying pure source stones and sugar to Longmen in small batches.

No one will announce this money-flowing channel, and if you don't know all the channels, you can't estimate how much sugar there is. If you want to know all the channel information, you have to violently blast all the nobles. Black snakes can't do this kind of thing.

The disadvantage is that the loss is too much. Herag's side is okay. Counting the checkpoints on the blockade, the loss is 40%~45%, while the loss on the Black Snake is as high as 55% or even 75%. One ton After leaving the sugar, there are only 250 kilograms left at the Longmen. Along the way, Ursus nobles, military officers, and checkpoints will rub their hands with oil, and they all tacitly understand it.

Even with such a high loss, after [-] tons of granulated sugar was manufactured into sugar products, the consequence of the violent bombardment into the market was that the stock price of the sugar company on the Longmen Securities Market dropped so much that grandma didn't even recognize it.

The jam and sugar factories in Victoria were also affected by the cold northern current. However, the various bakeries and bakers' unions firmly suppressed all objections with their outstanding social status and voice.

[The baker's guild is one of the most powerful guilds~ There are channels for cheap, high-quality jam and sugar, and they are the first to jump up and defend with all their might]
