Victor is a very sane person.

Just when everyone was crazy about the interests of the underworld, he clearly noticed what might happen next.

At present, the agricultural productivity of the countries of Plandar is generally not strong, and the total grain reserves are actually very small, and a large number of people freeze to death and starve to death every winter.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is the case.

If the current situation is allowed to continue to develop, a large amount of food will flow into the underground world through trade, and although it will be exchanged for expensive minerals, gold, magical plants, etc., the most important problem is that these things cannot be eaten.

Then after the arrival of this winter, I am afraid that there will be another wave of death peaks.

Although these people died because the greedy merchants sold their food to the underworld, the people didn't care about that, they only knew that under Victor's rule, they didn't even have enough to eat.

The people are very ignorant, they are easily fooled, and as soon as the aristocratic faction seizes this opportunity to incite them, they will be on the side of the aristocratic faction.

This was very detrimental to the struggle between Victor and the aristocratic faction.

So......

"So, that's what you're here for?"

Don En stared intently at the cans on the production line and asked casually, "Your Majesty Victor thinks I can solve this problem?" ”

With a very elegant and proper smile on her face, Aurelia looked at the inside of the workshop casually and said, "Yes. He said that if there was anyone else in the world who could solve this problem, it would be you, Earl Donne. ”

Aurelia didn't quite understand why her father trusted Donn so much - a blind trust that was almost unconditional. As an emperor, this is a big taboo!

If it weren't for the fact that she had to come over herself, she didn't even want to see Don now, because as soon as she saw Don En, she felt as if she had been whipped by him.

Especially the last time he did that to her!

"He really believes in my abilities......"

Don was noncommittal. I picked up a canned food box and knocked on it, and after confirming the tightness, I put it back satisfied. Then he turned to Aurelia and said, "Your Highness Princess, before you came here, I am afraid you didn't know that I was also facing a food crisis, right?" ”

Aurelia was stunned and shook her head.

"Well. It's normal that you're not clear. I'm afraid only I know it......"

Tang En laughed dryly, then waved his hand and said: "I'm also busy purchasing food now, and I'm worried that the price increase is caused by my purchase, but I didn't expect it to be their behavior, I'm afraid that the lives of the civilians will not be too good this winter." ”

Aurelia raised an eyebrow: "So what?" Is there anything you can do? ”

She was already disappointed, and listening to what Don had just said, it was obvious that he was also in a hurry to buy food, and obviously wanted to go to the underground world to get a piece of the pie. And there's certainly nothing he can do.

"How......"

Tang En said with a smile: "There are ways, but people are not necessarily happy. ”

He actually has a way!?

Aurelia looked suspicious. took out a notebook and looked at Don En seriously: "Please speak." ”

"Well, I can't tell you for a while, but ......"

Don pointed to the canned boxes on the production line and smiled, "That's the solution." ”

"These iron boxes?"

Aurelia has "You're kidding me" written all over her face.

"Canned boxes, to be exact."

"What's the use of this thing?"

Aurelia, with a black face, picked up a box and looked at it, a clean tin box, without anything special.

"This is the container, this is the finished product."

Donn pulled out a canned fruit and handed it to Aurelia: "Take a look first, then open it and taste it." ”

Aurelia took the can and was a little surprised: "It's pretty heavy...... Could it be a yellow peach painted on it? ”

With Done's help, Aurelia opened the can and smelled the sweet smell coming from inside, Aurelia's eyes lit up, and she tasted a small sip of juice first: "Hmm! It's so sweet! ”

After tasting the sweet juice, she tasted another piece of yellow peach, and the fresh and tender yellow peach made her satisfied: "Delicious~"

"Not bad, right?"

"Of course, it's not easy to eat fresh yellow peaches in Alinkes, and it's usually candied dried fruit."

Aurelia couldn't stop eating a piece, and in a few moments she finished the whole can, licking her lips with a lot of heart.

Don En's gaze lingered on her pink little tongue for a moment, and then he said casually, "If you want to eat, there are many more, you can bring some back when you go back." ”

"Really!?"

Aurelia was very happy, this bastard wasn't that bad.

The strong resentment was actually reduced a lot because of a small canned yellow peach, and if Don En knew, he would probably cry and laugh.

"But the fresh fruit is too difficult to store, and it won't be able to be stored for a few days when I bring it back, so I'd better let my father and mother taste it as soon as possible."

Aurelia sighed, "If it weren't for your teleportation array, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had this opportunity." ”

Tang En said casually as he walked forward: "No, this kind of can can be kept casually for three or five years without any problem." ”

"Oh, so-wait! What did you just say?! Three or five years!? ”

Aurelia's eyes widened suddenly, and her face was incredulous: "How is this possible! Not to mention three or five years, fresh fruits may be spoiled after three or five days! ”

"That's what I'm going to tell you next."

Don smiled and made a gesture: "It's not suitable for conversation, please." ”

Aurelia followed Donn out of the canning workshop and back to the Lord's Palace.

Fiona hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness the Princess." ”

"No courtesy."

"Fiona, make tea."

"Okay."

Fiona answered.

"Why did you get Fiona to make tea? What about your maid named Tina?? ”

Aurelia was very impressed with Tina, and she had a good impression of her, especially the last time she ate hot pot in the garden, thanks to her, she was not so miserable by Don.

"Tina...... She's in a bit of trouble. ”

Don sighed: "Marlene, who took over her mission, also went to the radio station, and the other maids are busy, and they can't help but entertain you as a big man, so they can only let Fiona do it." ”

Aurelia frowned, "Do you mean to blame me?" ”

"It's not...... Tea is coming, let's take a sip of tea first. ”

As she spoke, Fiona had already brought the tea, and after having the magic energy kettle, she could boil the water in minutes, pinch a leaf of the World Tree and brew it in the teapot, and in an instant, the top tea with a golden color and an attractive aroma appeared.

Aurelia held the hot tea and blew it for a long time, then took a sip and let out a happy scream: "Woo...... The only thing that is to enjoy life, as a princess, I have to envy you, I can drink this kind of tea every day, I am really willing to die. ”

Fiona smiled dumbly: "Drinking this kind of tea every day, it's hard to die." ”

The tea made of the leaves of the World Tree is still full of life power, and if you drink this kind of tea often, even ordinary people can prolong their lives for a hundred years, and if there is no accident, it is really difficult to die.

"Let's talk while drinking tea."

Tang En leisurely took a sip of tea from the teacup, and after enjoying it for a while, he said: "What Her Royal Highness the Princess saw just now is a food preservation technology that we have newly developed, called canning, which can store the food sealed in it for a long time, and it is conservative for three or five years, and if the preservation environment is better, ten or eight years is not a problem." ”

Aurelia glanced at Fiona and saw that she nodded in confirmation, and then realized that what Donn said was true.

"Can it really last that long...... It's incredible! ”

Aurelia first exclaimed, and then said with a puzzled expression: "But what does this have to do with what I said before? ”

Tang En couldn't cry or laugh, put down the teacup, and said in a serious voice: "Your Royal Highness, it seems that you need to go outside often...... It's autumn now! ”

Aurelia looked dazed: "So what? ”

Seeing Donne's tangled look, Fiona said with a wry smile: "Let me explain, Your Highness Princess, now that autumn is in the past, the fruit trees in all territories of the entire empire have ripened, and these fruits are all spoiled if they are not consumed in a short period of time after harvesting, and the current common practice of people in our country is to make candied fruits, dried fruits and jams, although these are okay, but they cannot maintain the taste of fresh fruits, and the efficiency is very slow." ”

Aurelia had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: "So, at this time, you can use this new technology called 'canning' to seal and preserve the picked fruits, and even after three or five years, they can be eaten fresh!" ”

Don snapped his fingers and gave Aurelia a thumbs up: "That's right, keeping perishable food for a long time is what canning is really about. ”

"Preserve fruits that are easy to spoil and eat them when food is scarce in the winter."

Aurelia was excited: "Then, thanks to the addition of other food sources, the need and consumption of staple foods by the rich will be greatly reduced, so that those who are poor will be able to buy more staple foods...... It's a great idea! ”

"Yes, not only fresh fruits, but also cooked meat, fish, etc., can be preserved with canned food, although this method does not directly solve the problem, but provides a way to preserve short-term food, and the curve solves a big problem."

Fiona nodded, with the same admiration on her face: "Although I was shocked before, but now that I think about it, I am still amazed by the wisdom of the lord." ”

To praise this technology is to praise the inventor, to praise the inventor, to praise the inventor, to praise the earthlings, to praise the earthlings, is to praise me, so it's not wrong for me to accept the praise, right?

Reasoned and convincing, the logic is flawless!

So Don accepted their compliment. (To be continued.) )
