Fields of Gold

Yu Xiaograss thought, “To open an oyster oil workshop, the shelf life of oyster oil is a problem! Winter is fine, temperatures are low in the north, and it's okay to put it on for three months! If it's summer... it's a bit tricky! ”

In previous life, what are some ways to extend food shelf life? Yu Xiaograss frowned and fell into contemplation. Zhou Zixu was anxious, but couldn't help bothering her.

Yu Xiaocao said to himself: “Extend the food shelf life, generally using low-temperature methods. However, there is no refrigerator here...”

“Refrigerator? A box with ice?” Zhou Zixu brought Zhou management, couldn't help but ask.

“Uh... yeah, the box with the ice?” Yu Xiaograss realized that he wanted to say what he wanted to say. It's not easy to explain what a refrigerator is. He can only follow the words of Zhou's manager.

Managing Director Zhou sighed for a moment and said: "The winter is fine, transported in boxes with ice. In the summer, I'm afraid it's going to be expensive. Besides, how big of an ice cellar can you store for a year? ”

“There's another way, just polysaccharide and salt, to extend the shelf life. However, this way, the taste of oyster oil will definitely be greatly discounted!” Yu Xiaograss himself shook his head to deny this approach.

Zhou Zixu, from Huangshang, naturally knows how important “quality” is for goods. He couldn't help but say, "Is there any other way? ”

“Plus, it's corrosion proof with bee glue! But honey is so expensive, let alone beeswax. It's less expensive than storing it with ice transport, and it's no place to go! ”

Bee gum? Honey Zhou Zixu has heard of it. Mother doesn't know who said drinking honey water will keep her looking good and she has had a drink every day since last year. And you don't know what this bee glue is?

“I wish... we could make ice in the summer.” Yu Xiaoxue thought about her heart and spoke to herself about her illness, since her previous life.

Isn't the ice naturally formed at low temperatures? Can you make it? Isn't this little girl crazy? Managing Director Zhou disagreed with the idea of having a workshop run by his young master in cooperation with a poor girl.

“Third Major, have you ever heard of Nite?” Yu Xiaoxue suddenly remembered reading the article "Ancient Turkish Ice Making" in his previous life. It seems that since the late Tang dynasty, when people were producing gunpowder, a lot of nitrous stone was mined.

Since then, people have had precedents for ice making in the summer. In the future, traders gradually emerged, adding sugar to the ice to attract customers. Song Dynasty, the merchants still add fruit or juice to it. Merchants of the Yuan dynasty even add pulp and milk to the ice, which is very similar to modern ice cream. I wonder if there are examples of nitrous ice making in this rewritten era?

“Nitrite? Yeah, it's in the pharmacy. Can... nitrous stones make ice?” Zhou Zixu also heard her talking to herself and saw her mentioning Nite Stone, naturally associated with it.

Yu Xiaograss glanced at him with appreciation and nodded: “The nitrous stone dissolves in water and absorbs a lot of heat, lowering the water temperature and even freezing. ”

“Really? How did you know that?” Zhou Zixu was half-hearted.

Yu Xiaograss stunned for a moment. He raised his face and said: “I don't care where I found out! If you don't believe me, go back and buy some nitrous stones and you'll see! ”

Manager Zhou caressed the beard of his jaw, silenced for a moment, and said: “I did sort of see an example of vitreous ice making in the ancient book of Master Er's life...”

“Oh, so the nitrous stone can make ice? Manager Chow, keep talking!” Zhou Zixu asked with interest.

Manager Zhou shook his head with a smile. "Master Er has so many books to hide, I don't remember which book mentioned this. Let's hear what Yu has to say. ”

Zhou Zixu looked at Yu Xiao grass brightly, as if he were a child who wanted sugar: “Xiao Zixu, stop selling Guan. Say it! Say it! ”

“You can dig a pool in the workshop, take a large tank, place half a tank of water, place the tank in the pool, put nitrous stones in the pool, and then pour the water into the pool. As for how many nitrous stones and how much water I haven't done, you just have to try a few more.” Yu Xiaograss gives a general direction, and implementation depends on Wednesday's few operations.

Zhou Zixu nodded and figured out how to go back and experiment. Managing Director Zhou said again: “Listen to you, there is a lot of nitrous stone required. The price of nitrous stone is not low! ”

Nitrositic ice making, which was originally used to reduce costs. In this way, the cost is not much lower than ice storage in the ice cellar.

He is Zhou's external manager, but he also has vision and vision. Yu Xiaoxue nodded with a smile: "Manager Zhou said well! However, nitrous stones can be reused. The nitrite dissolved in water can be re-proposed and reused by evaporative crystallization. ”

Manager Zhou shrugged his head slightly. Nahan couldn't help but think: How could this little girl be so fondly remembered? Compared his self-styled expo book manager to the rest. Does the rest of the family have a heritage he doesn't know about?

No wonder he was so suspicious that at the end of the previous dynasty, wars were raging and many of the rich families of the world were lost in the great rivers of history. Is it possible that this little fishing village has settled down?

“Manager Zhou, don't even think about it! I made a deal with Little Grass that she wouldn't be questioned about anything but business. What does it matter to us why she makes nitrous ice? Don't complicate things, I don't want to lose a strong partner!” Zhou Zixu closed the smile on his face and faded. His body naturally revealed the majesty and momentum of the young master.

Managing Director Zhou was in the heart, and his heart sounded like Hung Zhong was vibrating and deafening. He closed his thoughts and bowed respectfully and solemnly: "The Young Master warned! Old Nu Khan! ”

In the face of Yu Xiaoxu, Zhou Zixu restored moderation and friendship: “Since the problems of oyster oil preservation and transportation have been solved, when the oyster mill is in spring, the earth can be broken. Look, where is the workshop going to be? ”

“In business, Wednesday is definitely less than an eight-year-old girl. Let's do it!” The way the manager looked at it just now, Yu Xiaoshua didn't feel it. Fortunately, there are Wednesdays when the great god is pressed, so there is no leakage. She had a dark awakening in her heart and would try to keep a low profile and make fewer headbirds.

Can't Zhou Zixu see her hidden guard? His instincts told him, however, that the little girl in front of him was like an unexploited mineral treasure that could only be recreated by slowly digging deep. As for how this treasure was formed, why go deeper? He didn't want to be overwhelmed by curiosity.

“I think so! It's nice to have a workshop near the pier, easy to get around by land and water. It's also convenient to purchase raw materials!” Zhou Zixu said his thoughts and asked Yu Xiaoxu to give them to the staff officer.

Learned the good Yu Xiaograss, just smiled and nodded.

Zhou Zixu turned his eyes and knew how to get the little girl to talk. He looked at the grass with a smile and asked, "Would you like to join this oyster factory? ”

Isn't that a modern term? How did it end up in Wednesday's mouth? Are you wearing less this Wednesday? Yu Xiaoxue opened her eyes and looked at him incredibly.

Zhou Zixu misunderstood what she meant. “Why? Don't know what 'stock' means? This is when Jianwen Emperor or Emperor Tai Sun, he set up a Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. and dragged a lot of dignitaries into the stock. The word 'equity' only spreads in the business world. Equity, actually, is what it means to be a participant. ”

“Oh...” Yu Xiaoshua bluffed, almost sweating cold. However, I heard that I was able to participate in the oyster factory, and the interest came on time.

“But... I don't have much money in my hand, less than a hundred taels...” Yu Xiaograss pulled his private room money out of the corner of the wall and was embarrassed to scratch his head.

Zhou Zixu looked at the scattered silver on the kang, all earned from him. Can he not know the bottom of the little girl's house? He was going to give the little girl a share, and at this point he started to tease her:

“Cough! This method of making oyster oil was learned from you, and I was going to build a workshop to give you a share. Since you feel uncomfortable, then I'll take the silver... ”

Yu Xiaograss's face suddenly froze. She looked at her silver and was plundered by the poor “black heart” merchant. Her heart was dripping blood!

No, she doesn't eat anything but grass!

“Wednesday's short!” She bites her teeth into the tunnel, "a large workshop, only operates the production of oyster oil, isn't it too monotonous? ”

Zhou Zixu's eyes lit up: My little ancestor! Just waiting for you to say that!

“What, Grass, any other suggestions?” Zhou Zixu looked at her vibrantly.

“I have two other recipes for flavoring! I don't know if I'm interested in Wednesday!” Everyone with a bright eye can feel Yu Xiaograss's tone clearly accentuate when he says "Wednesday is short." Yo, the kitten's got claws!

Zhou Zixu smiled and said: “Interested, of course! Say it!! ”

“Humph!” Yu Xiaocao turned proudly, "Want my two recipes for shares! ”

Speaking of which, if the workshop is built, whether it's oyster oil recipe or the two kinds of seasoning recipes in the little girl's mouth, it's from Yu Xiaograss. Zhou Jia only gave money and labor.

Zhou Zixu naturally will not give up a treasure of constant origin for the sake of the flyhead in front of him. He is proud to say: “If both of these seasoning recipes are as valuable as oyster oil, the shares in the workshop count as half! ”

Half? Yu Xiaoherbal was only going to have a 20% dividend, which is far more than she expected.
