"What does preserving lychees have to do with bamboo poles?"

"Who knows! The thoughts in the young master's mind are simply not something that ordinary people like us can understand!"

"That's right, the young master is constantly coming up with novel ideas that we can't even imagine!"

…

Although the soldiers were very puzzled, they had no doubts at all.

After all, too many incredible things have happened to this kid!

After everything was ready, Fan Kuai and others invited the young lady out.

Looking at the lychees piled up like a hill, Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help but give this guy a thumbs up in her heart!

It’s so easy to do things!

Ask him to find more. This guy has picked all the lychees in Lingnan for me, right?

"Young Master, you don't know, those lychee trees are so big! Several of us climbed up the trees to pick them, and it took us quite an hour to finish them!"

Fan Kuai was also smart when he seemed to see through Xiao Zhengtai's thoughts and quickly explained.

"The older the lychee tree, the sweeter its fruit will be. You did a great job!"

Little Shota didn't mean to blame.

It’s just that I think it’s too much. How many cans will it take?

never mind!

Anyway, more people make work faster, so peeling won’t take long!

"Everyone, please wash your hands first, peel and core these lychees, and put them into a clean container!"

"Send another group of people to make sugar according to the method I told you!"

Xiao Zhengtai had used universal search to find the method of boiling sugar last night, and immediately handed it over to Zhang Liang.

This guy has a delicate mind, so there is absolutely no problem in letting him lead the soldiers in making sugar!

As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers were busy in Zhao Tuo's palace.

Everyone rolled up their arms and sleeves. Those who should peel lychees peeled lychees, and those who should boil sugar boiled sugar!

After everything was done, the young lady asked everyone to set up pots, light fires, add water, and prepare clay pots!

Immediately afterwards, piles of white and tender lychees were poured into the pot, along with freshly boiled sucrose!

"Boiled lychees? What does this thing taste like?"

Fan Kuai and others' faces couldn't help but twitch.

I’ve heard of cooking vegetables, meat, and rice, but I’ve never heard of cooking fruits!

Isn't this a waste?

"Lychees are juicy. If you want to store them for a long time, this is the only way now!"

Little Shota stood on the bench with his little hands behind his back, watching the movements of the soldiers' hands.

Later generations can use vacuum, freezing and adding preservatives to preserve lychees.

But this is impossible in this era, so we can only use the simplest and healthiest method to preserve it!

"This method is called canning, and it's the best way to temporarily preserve fruits!"

Since it cannot be vacuumed, the canned products can only be stored temporarily and cannot be stored for more than ten months like later generations!

But his goal is to bring the canned food to Xianyang and keep it for half a month!

"But...will it taste good after the water is boiled?"

"Whether it tastes good or not, you won't know until it's done?"

Xiao Zhengtai blinked at several people mysteriously.

Canned food was a delicacy in his childhood.

Whenever he had a cold when he was a child, his parents would buy him canned food.

So later when he wanted to eat canned food, he would pretend to cough and always get the canned food as he wished.

Now that I think about it, his disguise was so fake that his parents couldn't help but notice that it was just to satisfy his little wish!

"Young Master, the water has boiled!"

Xiao Zhengtai's thoughts wandered further and further away, but Fan Kuai's loud voice pulled him back.

"Okay, put it in the can and let it cool, then seal it and put it in a cool place!"

"This...is it over?"

Fan Kuai was stunned.

Lychees that are difficult to preserve can be preserved by boiling them in a pot?

"That's right!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded firmly.

“This method is really special!”

Zhang Liang seemed to have some clue.

"In a few days, I will let you witness a miracle!"

…

A few days later, in Xianyang City, Qilin Hall.

Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon chair, discussing politics with officials with a majestic look!

"Father, I have been studying tactics and equipment recently and found that our current armor has some flaws. After that, I found a lot of books and asked General Li for a lot of advice, and then I came up with this improved version.

armor!"

"This armor will broaden the shoulders and chest...!"

Ying Fan stood in the main hall, with a soldier in armor standing next to him, explaining while gesticulating.

When Xiao Zhengtai was here before, she always suppressed him.

As long as that kid is around, no one will notice him at all!

Now that he has finally waited for that kid to leave, he must seize the time to show himself, otherwise everyone may almost forget about him as a prince!

"The armor transformed by Gongzi Fan is flawless. My officers and soldiers of Great Qin will be even more brave when wearing it!"

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Feng Jie immediately sent out flattering words.

It’s also to take the lead, heighten the atmosphere, and get the courtiers to praise you!

"Although Gongzi Fan's armor has made up for some loopholes, it has increased its weight a lot, which will definitely consume the soldiers' physical strength. If they run thousands of miles wearing such armor, I'm afraid the soldiers will fall down from exhaustion before they even reach the place!"

Before anyone else could speak, Wang Ben, who was also a general, spoke first after seeing the armor.

Ying Fan has never been on the battlefield. He just wants to express himself and finds loopholes, ignoring practicality!

"The most important thing about armor is to protect the lives of soldiers. Even if the weight increases a little, it doesn't matter!"

"That's right, when the two armies are fighting, there will definitely be time to rest so that the soldiers can replenish their physical strength!"

Feng Jie and Li Xin immediately refuted.

"In the battle against Chu, General Li ran very fast, but all the 200,000 troops behind him were wiped out. If he wears such armor again, wouldn't he be unable to run even more?"

Zhang Han said with a playful smile.

"you……!"

The scandal in the past was made fun of again as a joke. Li Xin pointed at Zhang Han angrily, wishing he could go up and punch him now.

But out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Ying Zheng with a tigerish face, and he immediately retracted his thoughts.

"The armor of our Great Qin soldiers is so light, is it just for escaping?"

Li Si's slow voice sounded at the right time, easing Li Xin's embarrassment.

"Yes, what's the use of being light? The most important thing is defense!"

Li Xin helped give a lot of advice on this armor, so I highly recommend it.

"Although it is not for the purpose of escaping, the process of marching is also very physically demanding, which will definitely affect the marching speed and can easily delay the fighter plane!"

Meng Yi is also not optimistic about the transformation of armor.

"If you only focus on weight and don't pay attention to the protective effect, why bother wearing armor? Just wear a straw curtain and go into battle. That thing can march so fast that you can even trot!"
