Chapter 44: Canned...

To benefit one party is to make a lot of money.

After the gathering in the front hall, Prince Zhenbei's mood was a little depressed. It was quite a headache that his beloved was already so venomous, but his beloved's nephew was even more venomous.

It's just a headache. Qin Yang arranged the matter entrusted by Chi Canghai extremely quickly. On the same day, he sent his cronies back to Qinbei to contact vendors to buy fruits.

Although he was very curious about what Chi Canghai did for buying so many fruits in Qinbei, but he couldn't transport them back to western Myanmar...

Chi Canghai sent Yingba to the workshop to see how Lu Xing was doing because of his leg injury. Unexpectedly, Yingba really brought back good news. Ask people to prepare the materials that Lu Xing needs to make glass. Chi Canghai is also on the way back to the west of Myanmar, and tries his best to tell Lu Xing what he knows about the modern methods of making glass bottles. I started researching. Although I failed many times before, I finally got a shape. After that, I continued to improve and it has become more and more perfect.Now he is in charge of ingredients and teaching, and more than a dozen craftsmen hired by Eunuch Fu are in charge of making, and they can make more than a hundred in one day.

Chi Canghai looked at the very rough bottle in his hand. Not only were there air bubbles in the glass, the surface was not smooth enough, and even the shape was not neat, but, so what?What he wants is not a handicraft, as long as it can hold things.

Chi Canghai smiled and said to Laixi: "Laixi, please ask Mr. Fu to find a craftsman to chop all the wood that was hoarded in the workshop before..." Then he compared it with his hands: "It's so long and thick, just enough to block the wood. The size of this bottle, and let him help me prepare a large amount of white wax."

Lai Xiting was confused, but didn't ask anything: "Yes, the slave will go now."

One day later, Hong Fu came to Lin's house to meet Chi Canghai in person: "See Princess Concubine, the servant has already ordered someone to do it according to your instructions, please have a look at the concubine, is it satisfactory?"

Looking at Hong Fu's movements and eyes, Chi Canghai knew that he had made a choice now. Ting Yingba said that during his absence, Hong Fu had taken care of everything in the workshop and carefully prepared things so that Lu Pedestrians can start working as soon as they arrive.

Chi Canghai raised the corners of his mouth and took the things in Hong Fu's hand with a smile. These were the trees that he specially asked Lin Danyang to help him buy from Fanwai, and they were smoked and dried by fire. The craftsmen were very skilled and polished , It is indeed the cylindrical shape he wants, and this is the cork he needs: "Very well done, Mr. Lao Fu, this time, you have worked hard."

Hong Fu didn't speak, just lowered his head and bowed deeply to Chi Canghai.

Everything you need is here!Chi Canghai looked at Xiang Laixi: "Go invite Mr. Qin to the front hall, and help me prepare something..."

When Chi Canghai arrived at the front hall, he found that not only Qin Yang was there, but also Jing Xiao and Lin Danyang. Everyone looked at the charcoal pots, casserole and other things in the hall with puzzled faces.

Chi Canghai said: "May I ask Mr. Qin, how many days will it take at the earliest to transport those fruits from northern Qin to western Myanmar?"

Qin Yang thought for a while and said, "The Qin family has set up post offices in Qinbei and Changping and Linxi along the road. It will take more than a month to transport a large amount of goods."

Chi Canghai frowned, it was similar to what he thought, except that he had to transport the bottle to Qinbei first, wouldn't it take two months to go back and forth?At that time, I am afraid that Yinglin Pavilion should drink the northwest wind...

Lian Jingxiao looked at Chi Canghai, thought for a while, and said, "In the west of Myanmar and a few places along the road, even the family has a post, if you are in a hurry, I will find a way to go to other places, and I will rush day and night. I think, two Ten days is enough."

Qin Yang raised his eyebrows, then nodded with a smile: "Indeed, [-] days is enough if the people are constantly passing by, but if you want to deliver those fruits, even if it's only [-] days, I'm afraid it's too late." ..."

Chi Canghai smiled and said, "That's enough."

Qin Yang: "Oh?"

Chi Canghai didn't speak, turned around and cut the apples on the small table into small pieces, and when the water boiled, threw them into the casserole to cook, covered the lid and simmered for a while, then Chi Canghai signaled the boy to take the casserole to the snow field outside the hall After a while, the servant brought in the cooled casserole. Chi Canghai put the apples in the pot into a glass bottle, then took the cork that Hong Fu just sent to stop the bottle, and then put the apples in the glass bottle. After the white wax was melted, it was sealed on the bottle, and when it solidified, Chi Canghai smiled and put the bottle on the table in front of everyone.

Qin Yang looked at the thing in front of him in surprise: "This is...?"

Chi Canghai: "Glass...canned food! The fruits inside can be stored for at least three months, and they won't rot or spoil!"

Lin Danyang looked at the bottle for a while: "This is what you insisted on going to Fuli to bring back?"

Chi Canghai nodded with a smile, and Lin Danyang sighed, "How did you come up with it... Do you know how much profit this kind of thing will bring? Fortunately, you are my Lin family..."

Lian Jingxiao on the side said lightly: "He is mine."

Lin Danyang froze for a moment, then gave Lian Jingxiao a hard look, Chi Canghai coughed lightly, and touched his nose with his hand, this man...

Now that the problem of keeping the fruit from rotten has been solved, Chi Canghai discussed with Qin Yang that the people who transported the bottles to Qinbei should set out in three days. First, he needed to teach the craftsmen this method. After all, they could not transport the fruit back directly. They need to make those fruits into cans in Qinbei and then bring them back to Manxi, and they also need to allow time for Lu Xing and the others to make bottles. Let's talk about the urgent needs of Yinglin Pavilion, and then you can make bottles at any time and go to Qinbei to buy fruits and come back at any time.

When the matter was settled, everyone hurried away according to the previous arrangement. Lian Jingxiao carried Chi Canghai back to the room to rest. After all, the most important thing is that he healed his leg injury now.

Chi Canghai leaned against Lian Jingxiao's chest, still thinking in his heart: "If this works, we can try to preserve more fruits and vegetables, and let uncle bring the fruits and vegetables from Fanwai to Manxi for sale. Not only can we sell finished products, but we can also sell this kind of bottle, and give it to everyone to save it. The glass is fragile and cannot be repaired, and the consumption is huge, so everyone will definitely come to buy it frequently. If it is the poor people in Huainan, we will buy it every day. Give it to five of them, and if it is damaged, let them bring broken glass to replace it..."

The craft of making glass is in his own hands. He dares to say that besides Lu Xing, no one else can master this craft. In the future, he will also distribute the proceeds to Lu Xing. The more Chi Canghai planned, the more excited he became: "This not only solves the urgent need of Yinglin Pavilion, but also gives you money for conscription. It also benefits the common people, allowing them to have enough fruits and vegetables to eat After the winter, the reputation of the Zhennan Palace among the people will definitely be..."

Lian Jingxiao sighed helplessly, "It's enough for me to have you, don't let me go through the second time with the knife on my neck..."

Lian Jingxiao's words made Chi Canghai pause, then he looked at the man in front of him with a hint of distress in his eyes, and smiled slowly: "Okay."

If you don't leave, I will never give up, Lian Jingxiao, I will live and die with you...

Three days later, the men and horses set off.

There were three carriages full of glass bottles and corks. Because the journey was long and the road was bumpy, Hong Fu asked people to wrap each bottle carefully in cotton cloth, with straw in between, and wrap the bottle with straw. The rope is fixed, and a thick quilt is placed underneath to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After seeing off the convoy, Chi Canghai felt relieved, and after thinking about it, he called over and said, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the workshop."

When I came here again, the scene in front of me had completely changed. When Chi Canghai was supported by Laixi and limped through the woods, there was no longer a wasteland in front of me, but a row of workshops neatly covered with layout. It was neat and well-organized, and the craftsmen in the yard were also in order.

Entering the house through the yard, there are more than a dozen craftsmen making glass bottles. The freshly blown ones are put aside to cool down, the finalized ones are placed neatly on the side, and the failed ones throw the broken glass in a basket. Chi Canghai nodded secretly, Ying Ba was right, Hong Fu did manage this well.

Chi Canghai didn't disturb the craftsmen, and walked towards the innermost part of the workshop. Laixi stepped forward and opened the door, and saw that Lu Xing was developing something there, and he looked very good.

Chi Canghai looked around the room, he specially ordered Hong Fu to prepare a separate room for Lu Xing, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Just like his studio in Fuli, he placed it in a mess here, with all kinds of gadgets on the table. Chi Canghai noticed that there were a few glass decorations on the table, and they were all painted. They were probably kittens. Chi Canghai couldn't help admiring the puppies and the like. Without modern technology and knowledge, Lu Xing was able to make so many things just by thinking about them. He was really a genius.

Chi Canghai watched the room for a long time before Lu Xing felt that there seemed to be someone in the room. When he turned around and saw a beautiful young man, he was taken aback: "Who are you?"

It was only then that Chi Canghai remembered that when he met him in Fuli before, he had changed his face: "I am the one who brought you back to Manxi. I was forced to change my face before because of helplessness. I'm sorry."

Hearing his voice, Lu Xing suddenly realized: "You are Mr. Lian?"

Chi Canghai rubbed his nose, coughed, and said, "I'm going down, Chi Canghai, I told you that my surname was Lian because, because Lian is my husband's surname..." He suddenly felt like lifting a rock and hitting his foot. Feel……

Lu Xing thought about it for a while, and then hummed indifferently. Chi Canghai guessed that for this kind of technical talent, he might not care about these trivial matters at all, or he might not understand at all...

Lu Xing got up and handed a wooden stick to Chi Canghai, and scratched his hair honestly: "I heard that your leg was injured, this is for you."

Chi Canghai took it, and found that it was a crutch, and there was something carved on its head. The carving was quite good, but this time it was carved... an angry turkey?Chi Canghai couldn't help asking: "I don't know, this is..."

Lu Xing said triumphantly, "This is a phoenix reborn from the ashes."

Chi Canghai: "..." Well, it turned out to be Phoenix...
