Pan Jinlian went back to the house and took a white porcelain bottle. This was the bottle of wine. It was filled with oranges full of sugar water. Pan Jinlian said, "Master, I was afraid that I would not finish eating the oranges you left a few days ago, so I used them to make oranges. How do you taste it?"

Wu Song was surprised. Isn’t this just canned food? Boil fruits in sugar water and then put them in sealed bottles. Canned food is a very rare thing. In the vast voyage, because sailors cannot eat fresh vegetables for a long time, the sailors have scurvy, and these problems will be solved with canned food.

When fortune comes, Wu Song said, "Jinlian, you are also lonely at home. How about you letting you run a shop and become a supervisor?

”

Pan Jinlian was very excited when she heard this. As a maid who is a family-friendly maid, although she didn't know much about the various workshops, she had also heard that the managers of each workshop were all very powerful, with hundreds of taels of silver a year and even more. She was one step ahead of the maid.

Pan Jinlian was excited, her chest was rising and falling with her breathing, and she said, "I am the one who is a great official, so you can arrange it."

"Okay, I announced that I would like to set up a canned shop starting today, and you will be fully responsible. I will recruit ten women to operate and produce canned oranges, and then vigorously develop them after the technology is mature. It is a pity that the three courtyards in my house are empty. Let's produce them as a production workshop for the next two." Wu Song said.

Pan Jinlian was a little confused and didn't understand why Wu Song asked her to produce the sugar-water orange. However, she was a smart person, and since she had arranged the arrangement, she had to do it.

Pan Jinlian said a blessing and said, "I understand, but there are not so many white porcelain bottles, sealed iron sheets, and large pots."

Wu Song said: "Don't worry about this. From tomorrow, you will apply for a woman. The monthly salary is 500 cents and the bonus is 200 cents. If you do a good job, you can get 700 cents or 800 cents a month. As for the workshop, I will handle the production equipment."

There is definitely nothing modern about the production equipment, but it cannot be too simple. Three sets of super large iron pots and steamers were prepared. A set of manual iron sealing machines were prepared. As for the firewood for burning, tables and chairs for processing fruits, kitchen knives, and fences, etc., they were all ready-made.

Three days later, the Jinlian Canned Food Store opened. Wu Song originally planned to be a hand-off manager, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of it. Wu Song overestimated the skills of Pan Jinlian and these women. They were almost illiterate, and they couldn't remember the process of Wu Song's writing, so they had to supervise it personally.

Women changed into white work clothes, put on hats, masks, and washed their hands. The first step was to peel the oranges and put the oranges in the frame. The oranges did not need to be steamed. Put the oranges in a porcelain bottle, pour hot and thin sugar water on them, then seal the iron lid with a hand cap, then put them on a steamer, and put them on a large pot. The water in the large pot has been boiled, and the steamer can be steamed on the rack for fifteen minutes and then dried, and then put them in a packaging box.

Although Pan Jinlian is beautiful, she is still very hardworking and often gets started by herself. If you don’t understand, you will often ask Wu Song, for example, the lid must be sealed.

"Master, why must the lid be sealed?" Pan Jinlian asked.

Wu Song said: "After sealing, the sugar water inside will not flow out, and secondly, the food will not become bad, and the shelf life will be longer."

Pan Jinlian took note of it. Although she didn't understand many things, she would never be able to do everything according to the process.

After one day, Wu Song saw that Pan Jinlian was already familiar with the process, so he left with confidence.

At the beginning, there was no requirement for yield, but it was necessary to be proficient first. The cheap oranges transported by Lu Fang from the south were just for practice, and the yield was only a few hundred bottles per day. The white porcelain bottle also had a label of Pan Jinlian's avatar, called Jinlian canned food. Wu Song didn't plan to sell them from the beginning and gave them to his own people first.

Wu Song asked Mao Chi to carry six bottles of canned food and came to Gongsun Sheng's room. This Taoist priest was free and did not need to train or work.

When Wu Song came, Gongsun Sheng was practicing swordsmanship. Gongsun Sheng said, "Brother, come here, bring something."

Wu Song said: "You old man, don't be polite, give you some rare things to taste."

Gongsun Sheng thought it was wine, so he pried it open with a dagger and found it was orange. After eating a few slices, he was very proud and said, "It's so delicious, sour and sweet, very good."

"Old Taoist, please help me calculate the eight characters after I finish eating." Wu Song said as he gave the eight characters of Hu Sanniang, Cheng Wan and Pan Jinlian to Gongsun Sheng.

Gongsun Sheng said: "I thought it was something, a small matter. Let me calculate it one by one."

This old Taoist has real skills, closed his eyes and rested, and after forgetting for a long time, he muttered: "It's strange, the fortunes of the three of them are different, and it seems that they have changed, but I don't know why."

"Oh, let's talk about it in detail."

"Hu Sanniang is the fate of a generation of military generals. She was destined to run around in her life. However, her family would have a powerful blood disaster, but now it is gone. The same is true for Miss Cheng. Her family would have a blood disaster, but she could eventually get rid of danger." Gongsun Sheng said.

"Where is Pan Jinlian?" Wu Song asked again.

"Originally, Pan Jinlian was a miserable person, depressed and unsuccessful person, and she was like killing her husband. But Erlang doesn't have to worry. If you have a tough life, it will be impossible for her to marry you." Gongsun Shengdao.

Wu Song said: "Can the old Taoist tell me in detail about the bloody disaster in Miss Cheng's family?"

Gongsun Sheng shook his head: "Brother thinks about me too much. I am a human being, not a god. Even if I am a god, I don't know it, because there are too many variables in life and too many accidental things. Numerology is just a calculation, three points are true and seven points are false, all of which are the tricks of us Taoists who make a living in the world."

Wu Song said again: "The old Taoist is a pure practitioner. I think it's boring to stay here. Why not do this? There is a great Taoist temple outside Dongping Prefecture City. It has been abandoned for decades. I have paid hundreds of taels of silver. You are helping yourself and practicing the Taoist temple. You also have a place to stay. When you have nothing to do, you will recruit disciples to preach in the Taoist temple. When you have something to do, I will invite you to come here. How about it?"

The Taoist priest who did not want to be a master of the temple was not a good Taoist priest. Gongsun Sheng was overjoyed and rubbed his hands, saying, "How could he be so embarrassed to make his brother spend money?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Gongsun Sheng's name is very famous, with Lord Cheng and Wu Song supporting him. Gongsun Sheng led a few Taoist children to lobby, and then more than a dozen major households were willing to invest in restructuring the mountain gate for Gongsun Sheng. There are always many believers in the local religion of Taoism, and soon enough money was raised. A construction team of two or three hundred people entered the mountain to repair the Taoist temple. It is expected that it will be completed in three to five months.

Wu Song and Wu Yong discussed and opened the Tongda Car Company in Qingzhou. Although Qingzhou has a large ground and a large number of people, its livelihood is in decline and its business volume is very small. The focus is not on Qingzhou for the time being, because the Tongda Car Company in Beijing is about to open, Wu Yong hired a shopkeeper with a high salary, and Wu Song needed to decide the candidate for the escort leader.
