Chapter 338

Victor is a very rational man.

While everyone was crazy for the benefit of the underground world, he clearly noticed what might happen next.

At present, the agricultural productivity of prandal countries is generally not strong, and the total grain reserves are actually very small. A large number of people will freeze and starve every winter.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones. That's what we're talking about.

If the current situation continues to develop, a large number of food will flow into the underground world through trade. Although they are all expensive minerals, gold, magical plants and so on, the key problem is that these things can't be eaten.

After the arrival of this winter, I'm afraid there will be another wave of death peak.

Although these people died because greedy businessmen sold food to the underground world, the people didn't care about that. They only knew that under Victor's rule, they couldn't even eat enough.

The people are very stupid. They are easy to be fooled. Once the aristocracy seize this opportunity to incite them, they will stand on the side of the aristocracy.

This is very disadvantageous to Victor's struggle with the aristocracy.

So

"So that's why you're here?"

Donne stared at the cans on the production line and asked casually, "Your Majesty Victor thinks I can solve this problem?"

Aurelia, with a very elegant and decent smile on her face, looked into the workshop as if nothing had happened and said, "yes, he said, if anyone else in the world can solve this problem, I'm afraid it's only count Donne."

Aurelia doesn't quite understand why her father trusts Donne so much - this blind trust is almost unconditional. As an emperor, this is a big taboo!

If it wasn't important for her to come in person, she didn't even want to see Donne now, because as soon as she saw Donne, she felt hot on her body, as if she had been whipped by him with a whip.

Especially the last time he did that to her!

"He really believes in my ability..."

Dumne not to say yes or no, picked up a tin box and knocked it. After confirming the sealing, he put it back satisfactorily and then turned to Leah. "Princess, before you get here, I'm afraid I don't know that I'm facing a food crisis, too."

Aurelia was stunned and shook her head.

"Well, it's normal that you don't know. I'm afraid only I know..."

Donne gave a dry smile, then waved his hand and said, "I'm also busy purchasing food now. I'm also worried that the price rise is caused by my purchase. Unexpectedly, it's their behavior. I'm afraid the life of civilians will not be too easy this winter."

Aurelia raised her eyebrows and said, "so? What can you do?"

She has been disappointed. Listening to what Donne just said, it is obvious that he is also anxious to buy food. Obviously, he also wants to take a share in the underground world, and he must have nothing to do.

"How..."

Donne said with a smile, "there are ways, but people don't necessarily like it."

He has a way!?

Aurelia looked suspicious, took out a book and looked at Donne seriously: "please."

"Well, I can't say clearly for a while, but..."

Donne pointed to the cans on the production line and said with a smile, "that's the solution."

"These iron boxes?"

Aurelia's face was full of "you're teasing me".

"To be exact, it's a tin."

"What's the use of this thing?"

The dark faced Aurelia picked up a box and looked at it. It was a clean tin box. There was no special place.

"This is the container. This is the finished product."

Donne took out a canned fruit and handed it to Aurelia: "look at it first, and then open it."

Aurelia took the can and was a little surprised: "it's very heavy... Is it yellow peach painted on it?"

With Donne's help, Aurelia opened the can and smelled the sweet smell from it. Aurelia's eyes lit up and tasted a small mouthful of juice: "Oh, it's so sweet!"

After tasting the sweet juice, she tasted a piece of yellow peach. The fresh and tender yellow peach satisfied her: "delicious ~"

"Isn't it good?"

"Of course, it's not easy to eat fresh yellow peaches in arlinks. They are usually preserved and dried."

Aurelia couldn't stop after eating one piece. She finished the whole can in a short time and licked her lips.

Donne's eyes stayed on her tender little tongue for a moment and said as if nothing had happened: "there are still a lot to eat. You can take some back when you go back."

"Really!?"

Aurelia is very happy. This bastard is not so bad.

The deep resentment was reduced by a small canned yellow peach. If Donne knew it, he would be crying and laughing.

"But the fresh fruit is too difficult to store. It can't be put back for a few days. I'd better let my father and mother try it as soon as possible."

Aurelia sighed: "if it weren't for your transmission array, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such a chance."

As he walked along, Donne said casually, "no, this can be kept for three or five years without any problem."

"Oh, so - wait! What did you just say?! three or five years!?"

Aurelia suddenly widened her eyes and looked incredible: "how is this possible! Don't say three or five years, fresh fruit may be broken after three or five days!"

"That's what I'm going to tell you next."

Donne smiled and made a gesture: "it's not suitable for conversation. Please."

Aurelia followed Donne out of the canning workshop and returned to the Lord's house.

Fiona hurried up to salute: "Your Highness, princess."

"No gift."

"Fiona, make tea."

"OK."

Fiona answered and left.

"Why did you let Fiona make tea? Where's your maid Tina?"

Aurelia was very impressed and liked Tina, especially the last time she ate hot pot in the garden. Thanks to her, she wouldn't be so miserable by Donne.

"Tina... She's in trouble."

Donne sighed: "Marlene, who took over her task, also went to the radio station. Her maid is busy. She can't help entertaining you, a big man. She can only let Fiona do it."

Aurelia frowned and said, "do you mean to blame me?"

"No... here comes tea. Have a cup of tea first."

While talking, Fiona had brought the tea. After having the magic energy hot kettle, she could boil the water in minutes, pinch a leaf of the world tree and soak it in the teapot. In an instant, the top tea with golden color and attractive aroma appeared.

Aurelia held the hot tea and blew it for a long time, then took a sip and made a happy wail: "woo... Only enjoy life. As a princess, I want to envy you. I'm willing to die if I can drink this kind of tea every day."

Fiona smiled: "it's hard to die if you drink this tea every day."

The tea made from the leaves of the world tree is still full of the power of life. Drinking this tea often can prolong the life of ordinary people for a hundred years. If there is no accident, it is really difficult to die.

"Talk while drinking tea."

Dumne leisurely and leisurely took a cup of tea and sip tea. After enjoying it for a moment, he said, "what the princess just saw is our newly developed food preservation technology, named canned food, which can keep the food sealed in it for a long time. It has been conserved for 35 years. If the environment is better, ten or eight years will not be a problem."

Aurelia looked at Fiona and saw her nod to confirm. Then she realized that what Donne said was true.

"It can really be preserved for so long... It's incredible!"

Aurelia first exclaimed, then said with a puzzled look, "but what does this have to do with what I said before?"

Sincere words and earnest wishes, Dumne said, "Princess highness, you need to go outside frequently... Now it's autumn!"

Aurelia looked blankly: "so?"

Seeing Donne's tangled face, Fiona said with a bitter smile: Let me explain, Princess Royal, now in autumn, the fruit trees of all the imperial lands have been ripe. All these fruits are broken after a short time without harvesting. The common practice of our country is to make candied fruit, dried fruit and jam. Although these can also be done, they can not keep the taste of fresh fruit, and the efficiency is very high. Slow. "

Aurelia had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized, "so at this time, we can use this new technology called 'canning' to seal and preserve the picked fruit, and even eat it fresh three or five years later!"

Donne snapped his fingers and gave Aurelia a thumbs up: "yes, preserving perishable food for a long time is the real meaning of canning technology."

"Keep perishable fruits and take them out for consumption when food is scarce in winter."

Aurelia was excited: "then, with the supplement of other food sources, the demand and consumption of staple food by rich people will be greatly reduced, so that those poor people can buy more staple food... This method is really wonderful!"

"Yes, not only fresh fruit, cooked meat and fish can be preserved in cans. Although this method does not directly solve the problem, it provides a way to preserve short-term food, and the curve solves a big problem."

Fiona nodded with the same admiration: "although she was shocked before, she is still amazed at the Lord's wisdom in retrospect."

Praising this technology is praising the inventor. Praising the inventor is praising the earthman. Praising the earthman is praising me, so am I right to accept the praise?

Reasonable and convincing, perfect logic and impeccable!

So Donne accepted their praise.
