Chapter 50 Canned

Wang Su laughed and said, "Master, I originally wanted to learn how to make bacon. But this bacon is not delicious and requires a lot of salt. When I went to the next medical school to attend the class, I heard that external evils were extremely small and invisible to the naked eye. I could see it with a microscope. I wondered if the rot of the meat was related to this thing. I also heard that heating could disinfect it. I thought of this method. I planned to heat the meat and put it into this small jar. Then I plug it with cork. The outside was sealed with mud. Because of the heat-swelling and contraction, the inside was cold and it would bite it to death. Wait a few months later to see if it was effective."

Zhou Mengchen looked at the black pottery pot on one side, which was roughly the size of a fist. It was also made very rough, not something valuable. It just looked very solid.

Zhou Mengchen just listened to it and knew that there was no problem with Wang Su's idea. It was nothing more than a specific implementation. Maybe he would encounter any problems. If you want to hit the wall, you would know what to do. Young people should be self-reliant.

Zhou Mengchen did not mean to give more advice. However, he valued Wang Su more and more. This child was smart and might be able to become an inventor in the future.

However, Wu Tinghan was very interested in this and asked in a slim manner. He said, "Is there any other use for making this besides handling some chicken?"

Wang Su didn't know who Wu Tinghan was, but he saw Zhou Mengchen respectfully treating him and did not dare to be negligent. He said respectfully: "There are many herdsmen in Datong. In winter, cattle and sheep will lose weight, and if they are killed in autumn, the meat cannot be preserved. This method may be used to store these meats for a longer period of time."

Wu Tinghan said: "Good boy."

Wu Tinghan didn't think much about it. Zhou Mengchen felt like he was suffering from a raid. In an instant, he remembered that it was indeed not well developed due to geographical reasons. However, Zhou Mengchen did not work hard on this. He didn't care much except herders.

Nowadays, Datong's animal husbandry is mainly based on free-range farming among the people. It is not large in scale. It is nothing more. The Tartars' ravages of Datong a few years ago have not recovered. The Tartars are too familiar with cattle and sheep, and they are almost wiped out, and there are not many left. It takes time for cattle and sheep to reproduce.

Zhou Mengchen couldn't think of any way to accelerate. After all, the pregnancy of cattle and sheep was long, and even if Zhou Mengchen took action personally, it would be impossible to increase this time much.

Therefore, Wang Su's technology is helpful to the animal husbandry in Datong. But it is not very helpful. But don't forget that it was not the Ming Dynasty who really established the country through animal husbandry, but the Tartars.

Zhou Mengchen has always wanted a product that can use industrial scissors to cut the wool of the Tartars. Let the Tartars become the source of materials in Datong and the dumping place of products. At the same time, Zhou Mengchen can also launch an economic blow to the Tartars because of controlling the industrial chain.

Since the Tartars had to rebel, Zhou Mengchen could fight against the rebellion.

It's just that. Zhou Mengchen has never found this product. He thought about wool before. He wanted to have a wool war. But now it seems that wool may not work. This is also a flaw of Mongolian sheep. Unless it is cashmere, the rest of the wool is too thick.

Most of the things woven are heavy objects from carpets.

Moreover, the process is complicated and large-scale production is also problematic. Zhou Mengchen has been paying attention to this issue for a while. But he feels that it will take time to integrate and conquer the large amount of wool textiles, and even industrial production.

After all, the skills in the textiles of Daming are all on cotton, silk, gold and silver threads. I don’t know much about wool. Although the Jiangnan generation has already had very efficient spinning machines, wool and cotton are always different.

Zhou Mengchen could not predict the time and when to do it well.

Moreover, Zhou Mengchen has so many things now, so it is impossible for him to take charge of the laboratory.

This made Zhou Mengchen feel unsure. Now that he saw this canned food, he suddenly realized. He thought to himself: "Why should I worry about wool? Why don't I think about mutton or beef? The price of mutton is not cheap."

In Chinese culture, mutton has always been clean meat. It is used by high-ranking officials and nobles. Ordinary people cannot afford mutton at all. This is also the reason why Bianyifang is not very high-end in Beijing.

Among the top restaurants in Beijing, all mutton is respected.

But there are many sheep sent from the pass, or from Liaodong to Beijing. Some people who are flirting with each other, say that Beijing ate ten thousand sheep on a daily basis. But to be honest, the sheep are not big these days. Beijing has a population of one million, a nobleman, and a relative of the imperial palace. So many people consume ten thousand sheep. How about it?

Moreover, food is the most important thing for the people. Zhou Mengchen did not believe that the Ming Dynasty could not consume these canned meats.

Zhou Mengchen estimated that this most primitive canned food can last about three months. If you go through the water, it will be enough to deliver this batch of canned food to the Ming Dynasty with the strongest consumption capacity. No, it is the place where the consumption in the entire era can be the strongest.

It's either somewhere else, it's Jiangnan.

In fact, there were sheep raised everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, but none of them were as good as the unique environment on the grassland.

Zhou Mengchen estimated that all the sheep in Xin Ai were about one or two million. But this sheep could not be killed at once. Not many can be killed every year, and it would be too much if there were tens of thousands of sheep. It was nothing to the market in Jiangnan.

As a result, a plan to exchange food for sheep in Zhou Mengchen's heart was gradually formed.

As for how to operate in the future, don't think about it now.

After all, if you want to use business to attack the Tartars, the premise is that this business model is established first. As long as the relationship is determined, there are some solutions in the future.

In an instant, Zhou Mengchen showed a 180-degree turn to this technology. He said: "No, but you still have some shortcomings. Use your experimental records."

Wang Su was slightly stunned and immediately said, "Yes." In a blink of an eye, he recorded the experiment to Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen took a quick look and found that there were too many omissions.

Who is Zhou Mengchen?

Although he did not go on the road of scientific research in the end, he had undergone complete laboratory training and controlled the overall process and details of the experiment. No one in contemporary times can compare to him. Wang Su was clever, but he was still young and only in his teenage years. Moreover, although Zhou Mengchen gave some guidance in the experiment before, they were more of them exploring themselves.

In this era, it is a pioneer. Although the innovative spirit is commendable, many places are too rough.

Zhou Mengchen took out a pencil without saying a word. While explaining to Wang Su, he made drastic changes to the experimental plan. After a while, Wang Su took over his experimental records again and found that it was beyond recognition. Wang Su himself didn't recognize him.

Zhou Mengchen took advantage of the situation and put Wang Su's pencil in his pocket. He said, "Why don't you understand anything?"

Although brushes are still the mainstream of this era, Zhou Mengchen felt that it was a bit inconvenient for working on site, such as when working on construction sites and in laboratories, so he used pencils. There was no problem with pencils at all. With Zhou Mengchen taking the lead, it was also spread among Zhou Mengchen's disciples.

But everything is short of these days. Wang Su also has a quota for pencils, so he has to buy it himself after using it. He watched Zhou Mengchen crash his pencil into his pocket, but he didn't dare to say anything. After hearing Zhou Mengchen's question, he looked at the pencil nostalgic and immediately said: "Master, if you do it according to your plan, you need a lot of meat and a few microscopes. I don't have it here."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Go to find your master and say what I said. I will give you one hundred taels of silver first. As for the microscope, I remember there are two in the medical school?"

Wang Su nodded immediately and said, "That's right."

Now the most expensive scientific research instrument in the entire Ming Dynasty is the microscope. Even Datong Academy does not have many.

Zhou Mengchen said: "It's all up to you. But this matter is of great importance. You must do it well. The faster the better."

Wang Su was so excited that she forgot his poor pencil and said, "Please rest assured. I will do this quickly and well."
