In Li Jing's study, Li Jing kept laughing, and he knew everything about what Liu Mu had experienced in Tumidu.

"Senior Brother Yao, can you stop laughing. I'm going to be worried. ”

"Don't laugh, don't laugh. It's really amazing, it's because he doesn't know the goods, or because he likes fruit very much. I know that there is no fruit at all in Huifu, and it all depends on tea. But this can is indeed a good thing. Li Jing said that he didn't laugh, but he still kept laughing.

Liu Mu sighed: "Yield, I'm worried about the yield." Not to mention Lingnan, we have countless fruits in Datang. There are many that can be made into dried fruits, preserved fruits. But more of it is really suitable for making this canned syrup, but herein lies the problem, I don't have that many cans at all. ”

"You don't dare to build a steel mill in Lingnan, this is the truth of your worries." Li Jing broke through the core with one word.

Yanagi nodded.

Li Jing said again: "Built north of Shaoguan, if Feng Ang really has a heart of disobedience, then he will also fight Shaoguan and rob the steel mill." If it is built further north, then it will be limited by transportation, and it is better to build it along the canal, or directly in Lingnan. The embarrassment is that you are not willing to let the steel mill produce this kind of canning tube. ”

"Of course I wasn't reconciled. Huayuan Steel Mill can exchange as many things as I can for a war knife, and how much can I change for a can. Liu Mu has nothing to hide in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded: "It's true, but what if the profit of canned food is big enough?" ”

"I don't know." Yanagi Shin said that canned food could be more profitable than ordnance, which seemed impossible.

"Since you don't know, then I'll discuss with Gong Su and see how much this can be worth." Li Jing is not only talking about business, but also about political value.

Liu Mu asked again: "Senior Brother Yao, how much do you think the Hui people will pay?" ”

"Maybe ......" Li Jing slowly put a piece of sugar water citrus in his mouth, and said slowly: "It's still okay to eat a piece of fruit to make a fairy fruit." ”

Li Jing did not say the price, but Liu Mu was convinced that the price was very expensive, but the Hui people would answer.

Luxury.

The nobles of the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty know very well what luxury is, and think about the effort and cost that Yang Yuhuan has put in to eat a lychee less than a hundred years later.

Li Jing got up: "I'll go talk to Duke Su." ”

"Don't you ask me, how much does this thing cost?" Yanagi knocked on the can.

Li Jing shook his head: "No need." All I know is that it is a tube made of stainless steel, and then the fruit in it is soaked in sugar water, and it takes two months to transport it from thousands of miles to the north, which is enough. ”

Li Jing left Liu Mu alone, but after a while, Li Jing turned around and came back.

Yanagi asked, "Forgot something?" ”

"I didn't forget anything, and suddenly thought of Qingzhou's pear harvest this year. Can it be packed in a cartridge? ”

"Of course, the rock sugar is processed with a special process, and the canning workshop has a plan for rock sugar pears, which is a high-quality fruit, especially in winter, when the weather is dry and dry, and the nobles of Chang'an City will definitely like it. Compared to the original pears or boiled pears they ate, they were several times more delicious. ”

The pear around the stove that Yanagi said is to roast the pear by the fire and then eat it.

The Tang people eat fruits, and they don't eat much raw.

After listening to this, Li Jing said: "I just asked, there are fruits everywhere, since the fruits in the north can be packed in the tube, so I know in my heart." ”

Without waiting for Liu Mu to ask another question, Li Jing had already turned around and left.

Seeing Li Jing leaving, Liu Mu took out a few pieces of paper and wrote down a few numbers respectively, then threw them into the pen holder and drew another one casually, but he accidentally drew the highest number he guessed.

One tube and two money.

Liu Mu thinks that a tube of two guan money is a sky-high price, when the net weight of only seven and a half catties of canned fruit can be sold for two yuan, you must know that the two guan money of Datang is almost 10,000 yuan in later generations.

It's not eating fruit, it's eating silver.

After tearing up a few pieces of paper and throwing them into the waste paper, Liu Mu got up and left Li Jing's study.

At this time, under the arrangement of high fulfillment. People with a bit of identity in the Uighur tribe are here, and there must be more than 20 large sea bowls in front of them, which are cooked in front of them.

There are Hui tribes who randomly find a groom to cook according to the requirements, there are Hui cooks who cook it, and there are chefs who have high performance choices.

Gao Cheng couldn't imagine how powerful the power of spices was, but he knew that he wouldn't eat food without spices right now.

He didn't know that there had been an unknown number of wars for spices, and the scale of the wars was at the level of national wars.

"Salt, tea...... Spices! Tumidu stuck the knife in his hand on the table.

He understood, why did the person sent by Liumu dare to say that as long as he came, he would definitely take refuge in Datang. This is not an arrogant statement, but a kind of confidence.

It's not cooperation, it's not alliance, it's refuge.

Even people who don't know how to cook at all make meat much more delicious than before. People on the steppe don't sprinkle perfume on their bodies, but they definitely spend money on the basic living conditions of eating and drinking.

"Food with spices, it's easier to preserve, it's a piece of cured lamb." Gao Cheng took out another piece of jerky.

Tu Midu only cut a slice with a knife and tasted it, and he no longer doubted that spices were definitely the third indispensable item on the grassland, in addition to salt and tea.

"His conditions?" The degree of spitting is high and fulfilling.

Gao Cheng bowed slightly: "Honorable Khan, I don't know. My task is only to introduce you to spices, nothing more. ”

"Help me tell him that I am going to consult with the elders of the tribe and postpone his meeting for a day."

"No problem. I'll tell you. ”

In the evening, Liu Mu was about to go to Su Wuling's room when someone came to tell Liu Mu that General Liu Renliang had arrived.

"Let's have a drink." Liu Mu turned around and walked out, which made Su Wuling, who was waiting in the house, very disappointed, but she still waited silently.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Liu Renliang has changed a lot, less of the original sharpness and more restrained.

After sitting down, Liu Renliang put a wooden box on the table and pushed it in front of Liu Mu.

When Liu Mu opened it, it turned out to be a three-inch piece of ox's blood red coral, which was different from the ordinary red coral tree, which belonged to the extremely precious level of coral.

"For my Sanniang?" Yanagi asked with a smile.

Liu Renliang replied: "No, this is for you." I don't dare to keep such things, I heard that such things are extremely precious in the former Sui Imperial Palace, and it is none of my business how you deal with them. But me, when I hadn't set off yet, the people sent by Li Daoyan to take over my management of Laizhou had bad words. ”
