The oiled paper was made into a bamboo bowl. Then, it was placed in the bamboo bowl and steamed in the pot with a lid.
On the other side, the braised pork was being prepared. When it was done, it was placed in the bamboo bowl and kept in the pot with the lid.
When it was steamed, the lid would be pushed open by the steam of the braised pork inside, so there was no need to worry about it.
After steaming for 20 minutes, the pot was opened and the lid was put back on as fast as possible.
He quickly wrapped a circle of grease around the edge and waited for the temperature to drop a little before applying a layer of wax.
As the temperature dropped, the braised pork in the bamboo bowl would cool down, and the lid of the bamboo bowl would be pressed tightly by the pressure.
This was a bamboo can of braised pork, which could be stored for at least half a year. If it didn't leak, it could be stored for a year.
Because of the oiled paper inside, the liquid couldn't leak out.
Compared to making it in a porcelain bottle, the cost was much lower.
Therefore, there must be more meat in the can, not more soup. It was not easy to make one, and it was not to be sold.
"Tell Supervisor Wang that there is a can. Ask him to ask General Gao to come and get it."
Li Yi instructed Song De as he fiddled with a bamboo can sealed with a layer of oiled paper outside and tied with a string.
In the afternoon, Gao Lishi didn't come, but Li Longji did.
Li Chengqi came to Zhuangzi. He was busy with the shipping of marine goods in the winter season.
"Third Brother, you're here. Just in time. I wanted to ask General Gao to send the newly made cans to the palace. Third Brother, please help me."
Li Yi took out a can, cut the string with a knife, and opened it along the gap sealed with wax and oiled paper.
The can inside had solidified, so he poured it on a plate.
"Third Brother, look at this can. It can be preserved for a long time. In two days, I will ask the workshop to make a bamboo tapping machine.
That kind of can can be screwed, and the sealing is better. Add an extra piece of oiled paper to cover the position of the lid.
When screwing, the edge of the oiled paper will be on the screwdriver, and it will be used as a sealing part. "
Li Yi took two chopsticks, handed one to Li Longji, and introduced his design.
Li Longji picked up the meat and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly. "It's delicious. It's not greasy."
"Make it for the frontline soldiers. Braised mutton, braised pork, braised chicken, stewed meat with dried vegetables, deep-fried fish with extra oil …"
Li Yi was talking about how many cans there were. There wasn't any braised beef, but if there was beef to eat, he would eat it.
There was less than 10% liquid in the can, and it was all dry.
He had seen the canned food from his country's army before, and it was very different from the canned food he bought.
When the can of chicken was opened, pieces of chicken were squeezed inside and poured out. There wasn't much soup.
"If you can transport canned food, you might as well transport more grain and meat floss." Li Longji believed that canned food was inferior to grain.
"Third Brother, this is not canned food. This is morale. While the enemy is eating steamed rice and highland barley, our soldiers are eating canned food. "
Li Yi analyzed the situation from another angle. When the canned food was opened by the frontline soldiers one after another, it proved the strength of the Tang dynasty's logistics.
"The Ministry of Revenue might not be able to fork out enough money. The salt well hasn't made a lot of money yet. But the iron mine near the iron mine has been found and is being mined. It can't be exchanged for money."
Li Longji also wanted the frontline soldiers to eat better. Now, it was usually pickled vegetables. In the past, they even had to bring vinegar cloth.
The purpose was to reduce the cost of transportation. A war cost a lot of money.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. After the New Year, I will start to pay taxes. But this tax will first deduct the money I used to provide the grain.
After that, the cost of the canned food will be converted into the cost of the canned food. My canned food is a luxury item, and the profit is very high.
So, I plan to pay 80% of the tax. The money will be used for the frontline soldiers. "
Li Yi said sincerely. After he finished speaking, he took a bite of the meat and found it was really good.
"Brother Yi, you have something new?" Li Longji immediately understood.
Brother Yi had a new business that could make a lot of money. It was so much money that Brother Yi was afraid of holding it.
"Yes, I will start to sell it before the end of the year. It is a long-term business. When the Ministry of Revenue finishes smelting the iron, I will ask them for it.
They also said that the iron produced by the iron mine in Bi 'an County will be given to me for free. I can use it. "
Li Yi mentioned the agreement with Bi Goo. He will provide the iron mine in Bi 'an County, and Bi Goo will give him the iron when he needs it.
The iron mine in Ma 'an Mountain is still looking for people to look at it. It has not started work yet. When they find it, they will know how big the mine is.
"Good, good. Then the frontline soldiers will suffer less." Li Longji's eyes were wet.
At the same time, he decided that after the New Year, Li Yi will pay taxes on all the goods coming to Chang 'an.
The shops in Chang 'an will pay 10%, 20% and 30% taxes.
He can't let Li Yi keep paying. He has money. He earned it with his own ability, not by cheating or robbing.
Li Longji was full of confidence in the future. He didn't eat dinner and went back to the palace with a lot of bamboo canned food.
In the blink of an eye, October 16th.
The greenhouse in Zheng County of Huazhou was built. The ox helped to plow the land.
The local people who were affected by the disaster were planting garlic sprouts and small garlic. Their houses were built by others, so they lived in tents for the time being.
Recently, Li Yi had calmed down and didn't cause any trouble.
Yao Chong and others were worried again. It has been more than ten days. Why didn't something happen? This doesn't match Li Yi's daily life.
"Everyone, keep an eye on him."
In the Heavenly World revolving restaurant, Yao Chong looked at the people walking below through the glass window and said to the other four people at the same table.
Today, they agreed to take a day off and come out to see the people. They came to the Heavenly World early in the morning.
There were seats in the revolving restaurant. No one made a reservation in the morning. There would be others at noon, so they were given the seats.
"The houses in Zheng County are not built yet. Besides, didn't Li Yi take out the abacus formula a few days ago? It will probably be done after the New Year."
Lu Huaishen also looked at the people walking on the street below. The people in Chang 'an were living a good life.
It was winter. In the past, people still wore unlined clothes and even put a sack on the outside to ward off the cold.
Now they wore new clothes, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not just a layer.
"Does this can count?" Zhang said while fiddling with a can on the table.
This can was not sold elsewhere. It was available in the Heavenly World. The price was ridiculously high, but people were willing to buy it.
"It doesn't count. His Majesty said that Li Yi didn't plan to make money with it." Bi Goo talked about money all the time.
"His Majesty's bathing pool over there is almost finished. We take turns to build it day and night. Until now, I still don't know how to make a lot of money."
Wei Zhigu pointed to the location of Xuanyang Lane while walking around.
"That doesn't count. It's His Majesty's business. He doesn't give the money to Li Yi." Bi Goo still denied.
"Selling newspapers. Selling newspapers. New newspapers today. Three copies. One extra. It's still 6 cents. No more, no more."
The newspaper boy's voice was so penetrating that people in the revolving restaurant heard it clearly.
"One extra? Many businessmen are taking advantage of the last opportunity to come here to sell and buy things. Otherwise, the Yellow River can't be transported by water. "
Zhang Shuo thought of the reason for the increase in the number of newspapers. There were more advertisements.
Soon, people in the Heavenly World sent five copies of the dozens of newspapers that were ordered every day, one for each person.
Everyone looked at the advertisements. Sure enough, there were more advertisements. There were advertisements on every page instead of a separate page.
"This is … the way of Da Xue. It is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to stop at the ultimate good …"
Lu Huaishen read out a paragraph that he was familiar with. It was Da Xue.
"It's over. Li Yi is starting to make trouble again." Yao Chong closed his eyes.
