"Can? Or canned apples from clay pots." Chen Xi looked at the clay pots in surprise. Who made this technology and further diluted the cost.

Chen Xi is also working on canning, but Chen Xi’s canning is the type of glass bottle, and the cost is higher than that of clay pots anyway. Because the technical content of clay pots is lower, basically, you can find a bricklayer who can burn clay pots whenever you find a place these days.

More importantly, the materials required for clay pots, that is, the so-called soil quality is more ordinary than glass, are the key to diluting costs.

Although a clay pot is only one or two cents cheaper than a glass pot when it is produced on a large scale, this is really a very clear technological progress.

After all, the production process of clay tanks is low, and the fuel is required is less, the furnace temperature is also lower, so it is easier to control and is more suitable for the popularization of workshop properties.

If technology is a little backward and easy to promote, it is still very meaningful to the country as a whole in an era where technology upgrades are not emphasized.

"Yes, I'm just trying to get rid of Niyang because the dates and apples are not coming down now, and the canned food made in the clay pots may only be from last year. The shelf life is already very powerful." Li Jun said happily, and he came for this.

The shelf life is long enough, which means that even if the goods are in hand, as long as they are shipped to the north, they will be sold sooner or later. There is no possibility of losses. After all, these days, canned food is considered a scarce material, and it is easier to sell in winter and spring.

"It's really amazing." Chen Xi can see much longer than Li Jun. This technology that seems insignificant represents a very crazy shelf life. At least for this year, a shelf life of up to one year is indeed enough to be called crazy.

"Zichuan, there seems to be some difference between the places you are paying attention to and the places we are paying attention to. If you really want to say the taste of this thing, it is really good." Liu Bei tasted it for two bites, and the apples and candied dates were cooked, with a good sweetness and a faint wine flavor, which was very good.

"It's not that the things you pay attention to are different, but that this thing is really amazing. How can you say that it can change a lot of things if you have such a long shelf life these days." Chen Xi looked quite serious. At least his canning factory could not have such a long shelf life.

Even if it is a sealed canned glass bottle, Chen Xi’s shelf life is generally only six months, and there is a certain damage rate. However, six months is enough for Chen Xi to do a lot of things. Now, it is clearly estimated that it should be nine months, or even one year of fresh canned food. To be honest, Chen Xi is very required for this technology.

Although Chen Xi also knew that there was a very amazing preservation technology for canned clay pots in this era and also knew where this technology was, Chen Xi could not get it. Because major families really did not have this technology, Liu Yan clearly stated that the technology he got for Chen Xi was already the highest-end, and there was no higher-end one.

Of course, when he heard this, Chen Xi actually wanted to complain, because he had seen it when he was reading archaeological news that China had dug up cans of clay pots in Chu tombs in a certain place. According to the above description, the shelf life of those cans should be between one to two years.

More importantly, those canned foods are not one type, they have fruits, meat, and some other things. There are several types of twelve canned foods.

In other words, in that era, the technology of canned top-level technology was actually very high. However, Chen Xi did not know where the tomb was, and on the other hand, he really didn't know who might have this technology, which was embarrassing.

So as of now, Chen Xi has made canned food for half a year.

Although this time is barely enough for Chen Xi to distribute these canned foods to supply and marketing cooperatives in various places based on the Han Dynasty’s road traffic network, there are still quite a fatal flaw if you really want to say it. The biggest problem is the risk caused by the shelf life.

Although the goal is not to make money, you cannot make money without making money.

But this time when Chen Xi went out of Chang'an, he encountered quite good technology on the road. More importantly, he used clay pots, which is very amazing. Although the cost is one or two cents cheap, sometimes it is because of one or two cents, and people don't want to buy it.

"But think about it, the dates and apples from last year can be preserved until this time." Liu Bei nodded, and felt it was incredible.

"This was made by the magistrate of Niyang County. They planted apples and dates, but their apples and dates did not have an advantage in the market because the quality was not very good." Li Jun explained that since he came here to do business, he naturally had to investigate all the things.

Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. It is true that although fruit trees are also planted here, due to the climate and current fruit trees domestication technology, there are indeed certain problems in the quality of local apples and dates. Simply put, it is to exchange for something else when bartering. If you sell it, it is actually not very easy to sell it from Niyang to Chang'an.

"These are all due to poor quality and the result after processing again. It is said that the county magistrate there spent a lot of money to study the can and was preparing to take off the local area." Li Jun said in a somewhat admirable tone.

Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. All technologies need to be studied. Although Chen Xi has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct research, and it is definitely much more than that of the magistrate of Niyang County, the other party can take it out and has definitely conducted in-depth research.

Although there must be quite a few chance factors in this, if the other party can study it, it must have made many attempts, so we have to admit it.

"This thing works well and can indeed take off." Chen Xi nodded, and Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi twice. Generally, Chen Xi said that he can take off, so it would be really amazing to fly.

"In addition to canned fruits, are there any other canned foods to keep fresh?" Chen Xi looked at Li Jun and asked. He had already entered the state and began to evaluate the popularity of this technology.

"Some, some, but they are relatively few, because there are only apples and dates there, and the others are relatively small in quantity, so there are not many types of canned food." Li Jun answered, while taking out another canned food from his frame, a canned food of pickled vegetables.

"It seems that the popularity is still very good. Let's go, it's okay, go to Niyang to take a look." Chen Xi's mood has improved a lot, and the shelf life has been extended, which will increase the popularity of many foods, and these are things that concern people's livelihood and happiness.

"Let's go and have a look at Niyang." Liu Bei himself took Chen Xi out to relax. Now that Chen Xi wants to go to Niyang, Liu Bei is naturally irrelevant.

"Brother Li, I'll tell you, it's really a good business to plant melons. Although canned food is pretty good, you can definitely make a lot of money by planting melons in Yanbian, New South Wales or Jincheng area." Chen Xi told Li Jun again when he got up and was about to leave.

Because I am in a good mood now, God of Wealth said, I have to breastfeed you twice. It doesn’t matter if I don’t take the first bite, but I’ll stuff it into your mouth with the second bite.

Li Jun was stunned when he heard this, muttered twice, and finally nodded, feeling that it was indeed a bit outrageous to go to New South Wales to grow cantaloupe melons, but it was okay to go to Jincheng to grow watermelons, but it felt that it was still a bit far away. How to transport it?

But the God of Wealth opened his mouth, and Li Jun felt that he still had to listen.

Chen Xi smiled at Li Jun's expression, but did not explain. He was feeding him anyway. As long as Li Jun didn't vomit, even if he didn't soar into the sky, it would be fine to become a rich family.

Seeing Chen Xi leaving, Li Jun scratched his head, and he had decided to go back this year to rent a place to grow watermelons. The God of Wealth will give him face and have to take care of it.

"What did you say to Li Laosan just now?" After Liu Bei and Chen Xi got on the frame, they asked curiously, "It's rare to see you chatting with these soldiers."

"Let him show him a way of wealth. Today I am in a good mood." Chen Xi said with a smile. Liu Bei held his forehead and didn't know how to communicate with Chen Xi after hearing this.

"It's true that I'm in a good mood today, and the other party is a good person." Chen Xi restrained his smile and said seriously, "Although he is a little rich, he can also see the momentum of killing on the battlefield."

"That guy is a man from Liangzhou and has a lot of military achievements." Liu Bei did not explain in depth. How many good things did the Western Liang Iron Cavalry before 190? It was just that he would not investigate it later. In addition, he did have the achievements of expanding the territory, so when he was discharged from the army due to injury, he was arranged as an instructor of Wudu.

After all, most people in Xiliang can only make a living by fighting. They can’t farm or do business, and they basically have the first place in fighting. Therefore, the Liangzhou people retired from the army and essentially returned to the local area to serve in the army.

Just looking at this situation, Li Jun should have been doing business shortly after he returned home, a rare Liangzhou businessman.

"Ah, are there any businessmen in Liangzhou?" Chen Xi scratched his head, not because he looked down on the people of Liangzhou, but because the people of Liangzhou are not suitable for their personality.

"I'm curious too." Liu Bei nodded.

After Liu Bei and Chen Xi left completely, Li Jun called his subordinates, "Brothers, we will set off, go to Wanniyang, we will go to Jincheng to harvest land and plant watermelons. We will not go to Central Asia to do business this year."

Yes, Li Jun is not able to do business because he understands this, but because he can do international trade and the foundation of international trade is actually because he is able to fight and his subordinates can gather a team of horses. If he doesn’t accept it, he will do it. Who is afraid of whom!
