Chapter 894： There is a lot to do with lees in raising pigs

Although the new compressed biscuits were shaped and a simple formula of rye flour, salt and maple syrup was determined, mass production would only have to wait until next spring. Because, the maple syrup in Marin's hand is insufficient.

Most of the 1oo barrels of maple syrup brought back from the Americas this spring were taken by Marin to blend in with the “Royal Salute”. Up to now, only a few barrels of Marlin have left their own food. Nowadays, the Marin family mainly uses maple syrup as a sweetener.

Therefore, if you want to mass produce maple syrup compressed biscuits, you can only start mass production when the 10,000 barrels of maple syrup promised by Garland arrive next year.

Since rye was used as a recipe, the wheat shipped by Albert was naturally saved. And the price of wheat is so expensive ...

Albert's first shipment of 110 thousand pounds of wheat, which was a fraction of 20 thousand pounds, was detained by Marin as a family ration. Then, those 11 million pounds must be sold or exchanged ...

You know, German wheat prices are now as high as 5 fenny per pound. Even the batch price is 4 fenny per pound. That is to say, these 110 million pounds of wheat, even if approved, are worth 44 million Wanfen, which is equivalent to 730,000 gold coins. If you sell to Spain, where food prices are high, the price can reach 8 fenny per pound, which can make you even more ruthless.

But this is just a small head, because Albert sent only the first batch of wheat. The total output of this batch of wheat reached 30 million pounds. If it is all sold. Even if the price is 4 fenny per pound in the German region, it can sell 20 million gold coins ...

After such a calculation, Marin was suddenly scared ...

Nima, 2oo million gold coins ... Marin almost didn't tremble like Wu Wuer, the next door with cerebral thrombosis ...

However, calm down, Marin now may not be difficult to deal with this batch of wheat ...

Why? Because the value of this batch of wheat is high, but the amount is not large. You know, the rye squeezed by Marin has more than 2 billion pounds, which is of large order. If it is shipped, the overwhelming amount will definitely shake Europe.

But this batch of wheat is different. Although its value is high, the total amount is not large. If it is sold in Germany alone, it will definitely shock everyone. But if it is scattered and sold throughout Europe, it will be unremarkable ...

In Europe, there is no shortage of nobles and wealthy businessmen. In order to reflect the difference from ordinary people, these nobles and rich businessmen often like to arrange their appearance, and their eating and drinking costs are different from that of ordinary people.

For example, they need to wear silk to wear clothes; they should put a few pieces of Chinese porcelain in their home decorations; eat a barbecue, dip hard with spices such as pepper, and if the spices are less, they have no face ... drink wine to drink fine wine; usually eat You should also eat "Queen Bread" made with wheat flour.

This kind of white bread using wheat flour, eggs, milk and honey, and brewer's yeast fermentation, in the early Middle Ages, only kings and archbishops can often eat, and not eat it.

However, with the socio-economic development, by the early 16th century, most nobles and wealthy merchants could also afford this queen bread. However, the price is also very high. The reason why many aristocrats were unable to make ends meet in this era was because they spent too much on high-value items such as spices, silk and wheat. However, no silk clothes, no spice, no queen bread, noble nobility ...

...

So, these wheats are expensive, but some European nobles and wealthy merchants who want to buy face have to buy them. The problem now is that the European wheat supply is severely inadequate, and then prices are also high.

The reason why Sicily, Italy is called the "Golden Basin" is because of the local fertile volcanic soil and the "advanced" trenching irrigation technology learned from the Middle East, resulting in large local wheat production. The price of wheat is so high that it can be exchanged for many gold coins. Therefore, Sicily is also known as the Golden Basin. In addition, Sicily is also rich in olive oil that is urgently needed for European cooking, which is also one of the sources of the Golden Basin. After all, olive oil is also golden ...

It should be pointed out that Spain, one of the European powers, has a large land area, but most of its territory is mountainous hills and few plains. Therefore, Spanish agriculture is not good, and the grain output is low. As a result, Spain is the region with the highest food prices in Europe. Barcelona in the Kingdom of Aragon is the largest city in Europe with the highest food prices. The lack of food was also an important reason why the Kingdom of Aragon desperately grabbed Sicily.

In Italy, although agriculture is relatively advanced in Europe, wheat production is among the highest in Europe. However, the Italians became extravagant, and the bishops in Rome lived in luxury. Therefore, the consumption of Italian wheat is also the largest in Europe, even not enough.

Therefore, if Marin transports wheat to Spain and Italy, it can still sell for a good price. Even if the price of the local wheat is impacted, it is always higher than that of the German region.

If Spain and Italy cannot be consumed, Marin intends to ship it to France and England. This is because the grain prices of these two countries are higher than those of the German region.

Only the part that can't be sold will be pulled back to the German region to continue to sell. After all, there are also many princes and bishops in the German region who need to eat white bread every day.

In addition, it should be pointed out that the domestic market of Beihai is not small. Since following Marin to grow land and wealth, all the military aristocrats who have been assigned to the land have lived a prosperous life. When people get rich, they want a luxurious life, so they are not happy to eat dark bread ...

In the past, Marin would help them import some wheat. But now, I seem to be able to exchange the extra wheat directly for them ... It is not necessary for them to spend money, just let them exchange the stored extra rye. After changing back to rye, Marin can also be used to brew rye Erguotou ...

The remaining lees of winemaking, Malin Xian, is also quite good for feeding pigs. Moreover, it can also be used as cattle feed. Marin has made a lot of wine now, and has a lot of lees. He now thinks it's too cost-effective to feed the pigs directly with food. For example, we should first take the grain for wine making, and after we get the wine, we can take the remaining lees to feed the pigs and cows to develop the breeding industry. It is not too cost-effective.

The only worry about Marin is that the European pigs are too small ...

Marlin visually inspected the domestic pigs in the German region. Only half of the later fat pigs were half as big, and only five or six piglets were born in one litter. They also grew slowly. Www.novelhall.com ~ was very uneconomical.

Therefore, Malinte looks forward to introducing Taihu pigs from the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it takes time ...

If lees are used to feed Taihu pigs, the supply of pork from Beihai will probably increase greatly. Although white pigs with a high lean meat rate are more popular in later generations, Ke Marin knew that in ancient times, the fat Chinese Huaxia black pig was the best breed. Moreover, the taste of the black pig is better.

Now, the food that Marin uses to make wine is hundreds of millions of pounds a year. The wine produced is too much to die. Even, supply exceeds demand.

But Marin is not in a hurry because spirits are durable and can be stored for many years. Moreover, the longer the quality, the better, the absolute best for decades.

So, now Marin is working hard to brew rye Erguotou. In addition to what was sold, the excess was put in a jar and buried in the underground mud for preservation. Decades later, it would be superb.

Unlike those low-alcohol wines, such as beer and wine, they are not durable and must be consumed as soon as possible.

Moreover, the annual consumption of hundreds of millions of pounds of rye also produces hundreds of millions of pounds of lees, which can feed many pigs. Even, it can be used to feed cattle.

It's just that Marin always feels wasted to feed poor quality European domestic pigs. It seems that he has to go to Daming as soon as possible to get the Taihu Pig ...

However, Taihu pigs are mainly located in Jiangnanzhou County near Taihu Lake. Even if Marin sent a ship to Guangzhou for trading, he could not buy it. Therefore, he must find a way to send people to Daming Nanzhili to get the Taihu pig breed. Then, bring it back to Beihai to promote ...

Taihu pigs can weigh more than two hundred kilograms, can give birth to more than ten cubs, or even more than 2o, and grow much faster than European pigs. Once introduced, using distiller's grains for breeding, the degree of reproduction and expansion must be very fast. It is foreseeable that lees raise pigs, there is much to do ...
