Chapter 355 Canned Fruit
Not only had the people of Mangcheng seen such new things as canned food, but even the merchants of all ethnic groups who traveled far and wide and claimed to be knowledgeable had never seen it.
In order to boost sales of this product, Su Jixiang specially took out three bottles of canned yellow peaches and placed them in the central location of the New City District Market, and also hired someone to look after them.
At first, the merchants gathered around these cans because the bottles that contained the cans were made of glass. Glass was a rare item. Some of them had seen it before, but it was used by the nobles of the Arab Empire for decoration and was very valuable. Moreover, the production method of this kind of glass was strictly controlled by the nobles, and it was impossible for outsiders to learn it.
The glass exhibited by Su Jixiang is not only smooth and transparent, but also made into the shape of containers, with fresh fruits in the middle.
At first, no one quite understood what Su Jixiang meant by exhibiting this thing, and they just pointed at the glass jars.
After a few days, people gradually noticed that something was wrong!
The fruit sealed in the glass jar seems to have not changed at all.
The summer in Mangcheng is not very cool. It is so hot at noon that people are sweating profusely.
However, no one had touched or replaced the yellow peaches in the glass jar for seven days, and there was no sign of spoilage.
After people started talking about this magical fruit in the glass jars, more and more people came to observe these canned fruits.
There are even some curious people who would ask someone to watch here at night to see if anyone is secretly replacing the fruits in the jars with fresh ones under the cover of darkness.
After ten days, everyone finally discovered that what was displayed in the center of the market was not only the glass jars with superb craftsmanship, but also the fruits inside the jars that still looked fresh even after being stored for more than ten days!
As a result, this magical jar became a hot topic. Some people wanted to take the jar to find out what was inside, but they were stopped by the people who were arranged by Su Jixiang to guard the jar.
The news that there were fruits that would never spoil and magical glass jars in the market spread like wildfire. After a few days, even ordinary people in Mangcheng got the news and came to the market to see these magical things that everyone was talking about!
Su Jixiang saw that the effect she wanted had been achieved. Now everyone in Mangcheng had witnessed that her canned fruit could really keep the original shape of the fruit for a long time. She announced that the sealed canned fruit would be opened tomorrow and the fruit inside would be available for people to taste, and that the canned fruit would also be sold!
The next day, the center of the market was already surrounded by merchants and people who came to watch the fun.
Su Jixiang did not show up in person, but asked a thin man to come out.
This is the new manager hired by Su Jixiang, Xu Mo, who was the guy who originally worked for Zhao Xiuwan!
Su Jixiang thought he was a talent, so after he was driven away by Zhao Xiuwan, he secretly found someone to test him. Su Jixiang found that he had good character, was a filial son, and was very diligent and smart. The reason why he worked so hard to make money was to treat his mother's illness. Earlier, his mother had a lot of problems in order to raise him up. Her legs also had a serious joint disease due to the cold. When it was cold, she could hardly stand up in bed.
Coincidentally, Zhou Ziqi was very proficient in the treatment of this kind of cold disease, and he also got the golden prescription book from Li Yuzhu.
Su Jixiang found Xu Mo and promised him that if he could work for her and be loyal to her, she would help heal his mother's legs.
Xu Mo naturally knew Su Jixiang's identity, and after seeing Su Jixiang's sincerity, he readily agreed.
Based on the principle of trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don't trust them, Su Jixiang directly let Xu Mo take over the sales of canned food.
Su Jixiang entrusted him with important tasks without reservation, which made Xu Mo convinced of Su Jixiang. In addition, his mother's leg pain was really relieved under Zhou Ziqi's treatment, so he followed Su Jixiang even more wholeheartedly.
A gentleman will die for his friend. In just over a month, Xu Mo has accepted Su Jixiang as his master!
In full view of everyone, Xu Mo opened the glass can, took out the yellow peaches inside, cut them into small pieces, put them in small bowls, and distributed them to the people around him for tasting.
Everyone's eyes widened as they ate the peach. Although each person got only a small piece of yellow peach, it retained the peach fragrance and crisp taste of fresh peaches, just like fresh fruit flesh, and even sweeter! The syrup in the can has a rich peach aroma, and every sip makes you feel full of energy.
Everyone praised it highly, and some people asked how long the canned food could be kept.
Although it was the first time that Xu Mo faced so many people's questions and the scene was chaotic, he handled it very skillfully. He did not rush to answer everyone's questions, but waited until everyone had finished asking their questions anxiously before raising his hands and pressing them downwards, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"I know everyone has a lot of questions, so I will introduce to you what this novel thing is called." Xu Mo smiled, "This thing is generally called canned fruit, and it is the latest product of our Caidiexuan Canning Workshop. According to the different fruits inside, it is divided into canned yellow peach, canned hawthorn and canned orange. At present, our workshop produces these three flavors of canned fruit. No matter what kind of canned fruit it is, as long as it is not opened, the fruit inside can be guaranteed not to deteriorate within at least one year! But you have to eat it quickly after opening it. If it is a summer like this, we recommend that you eat it quickly within one day, and if it is spring and autumn, you can relax it to two days appropriately. As for winter, once it is opened, it must be eaten quickly indoors, and the uneaten ones can be taken outside to freeze. But everyone should pay attention, if the temperature is freezing enough, the can cannot be left outside to freeze in winter before it is opened, otherwise the can will be frozen!"
Xu Mo briefly introduced canned yellow peaches to everyone. When everyone heard that they could be kept for a year as long as they were not opened, they were immediately shocked.
In fact, if the cans are not opened, they can be stored longer, three years is no problem, but Su Jixiang is afraid that the level of sealing technology in ancient times is not as high as that of modern times, so she temporarily set a one-year limit, but she thinks that the cans can be stored for two years without any problem.
But it can be stored for a year and it is enough for it to burst.
When the foreign merchants heard this, they immediately expressed their desire to buy!
This thing is so novel. Not to mention the fruit inside, even if you take the remaining glass jar back home after eating the fruit, you will definitely make a profit!
