Chapter 87 Sufficient Raw Materials
"You get what you pay for, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely buy good things with absolute quality assurance."

Yang Yan picked up a piece of dog meat with chopsticks, lifted it up, and said seriously: "There are many different types of canned food on the market. They have indicated the raw materials by category on the label. For example, canned dog meat uses breed dogs as the main ingredient. If the dog meat content is less than 30.00%, it is a fake and shoddy product.”

"What did you say? 30.00%?" Ling Zihan couldn't help shouting when he heard this: "The meat quality ratio is so low?"

Yang Yan smiled slightly: "This is the biggest difference between urban standards and wilderness standards. I know the rules of behavior in the wilderness, and whatever you say is what you say. But you have to understand that this is Floating Cloud City, especially in the "food" this critical On important issues, the only governing principle and standard of the previous or current city administration is to ensure the supply of food so that everyone is fed."

"So between "real meat" and "plausible meat", you must learn to understand, and you must understand the correctness and directionality of the phrase "measured by money"."

"The reason why I said so much in one breath is because only in this way can you understand why human biological tissue components are detected in canned meat."

Deep in Ling Zihan's mind subconsciously popped up an extremely terrifying idea that he had never thought of before.

This thought was so horrifying that he even felt that his hands and even his whole body were shaking with fear, and he could hardly even hold the chopsticks.

"...what you want to say...could it be...to make the best use of everything?" Ling Zihan asked tentatively, but he really didn't want to hear words of approval from Yang Yan.

Yang Yan stared at his black eyes, lit a cigarette, and nodded slowly in the lingering smoke.

"You're a smart man..."

"This matter is more complicated than you think."

As he spoke, Yang Yan spread his legs and looked around. Although there was only endless darkness in the distance, his eyes were piercing, as if his eyes had special functions beyond normal human beings, enough to see through the deep blackness.

"There was no Floating Cloud City before, and this place was actually just a settlement in the wilderness. Because of the water, more people came, and it became a city."

"At that time, there was a shortage of everything. For one bite of food, people's brains could be beaten into dog brains. Of course, it was essentially for food. I have read some materials left over from the early days of urban construction. Eating a person was really nothing at that time. ...No way, the hydroponics system only appeared later, in order to fill the stomach...even people who are the most high-end animals on the earth will do extremely crazy behaviors."

"Later, the scale of the city expanded and industrial groups appeared. The people above knew very well that food is the most important factor for the stability of everything. Only then did they have a supporting food production base and cassava planted on a large scale."

"You have to understand that people's desires can never be satisfied. When you want to be full when you are hungry, you have no choice about the quality, type, taste, and quality of food at that time, and no one will think of it at all. These messy things. But when the stomach is full and three meals a day are guaranteed, they start to be demons and people start to criticize."

Ling Zihan listened carefully, and he even found some traces of food in Yang Yan's words.Especially some of the words in it made him feel very appetizing... It's not surprising, just like God Chuanhai chatting about the preparation methods of certain dishes, coupled with the description of hunger in the words, often makes the listener's appetite whet .It felt like what was being said and what was being said and what was being heard left behind the tragic dark past, leaving only the part that... it should be said to selectively start thinking about the food itself.

"It's not surprising." Ling Zihan said seriously: "According to Maslow's theory, survival is the first level. After eating and clothing, human needs will become higher and better than before."

"I know. Do you need to talk about it?" Yang Yan started talking. He took out a delicate metal flagon from the inner pocket of his jacket, unscrewed the cork, took a sip, and wiped it with the back of his hand. At the corner of his mouth, he continued: "You haven't read the original materials of Floating Cloud City, and you have no idea how outrageous the demands made by those bastards were."

"In the third year of the large-scale operation of the liquid cultivation base, that is, the second year of the large-scale supply of cassava food, some bastards in Floating Cloud City who were full and had nothing to do started to compare. I don't know where they got it. The so-called food research proves that the city administration is actually required to reduce the daily supply of cassava food and increase the per capita ration of dairy products, poultry eggs, fresh vegetables, meat, and even juice.”

The expression on Ling Zihan's face became extremely strange.Holding the chopsticks in his hand, he hovered almost rigidly in the air, thinking and digesting the words just heard in the depths of his brain with great difficulty.

Meat is also understandable.After all, cassava is vegetarian in nature. Regardless of nutrition or taste, it will feel greasy after eating for a long time, and you want to change the taste.

Fresh vegetables are also understandable. Humans are actually vegetarian animals in essence. Meat is only used as a necessary adjustment and addition in daily food, and it is not absolutely necessary.

Eggs... that's a very extravagant joke.There are birds in the wilderness, they are ferocious, and if they want to eat delicious food like "eggs", they must be filled with human life.As for the poultry farm in Floating Cloud City, it is said that it appeared many years after the city was built, which obviously does not match the time Yang Yan said.

As for dairy products, they are equivalent to legendary food in the dark underground world.However, after the human group develops to a certain level, its essence will always become an elite rule with a mixture of power and money.So don't think about milk, it is more likely to raise people and produce human milk products.

Ling Zihan was born in the wilderness. Although he has lost a lot of memory and often "sees" many vague scenes that are both familiar and unfamiliar in his sleep, he has his own set of plans and a very clear understanding of the development of cities and settlements. Know.

The current Sun City is to some extent equivalent to the initial era of Floating Cloud City mentioned by Yang Yan.

The people under Ling Zihan's rule, that is, the three gangs in the past, are never picky about the quality, texture, and taste of food, and basically they can eat as long as they can.So last time Ling Zihan brought back a large amount of cassava flour, the residents of Sun City were overjoyed, it felt like Chinese New Year.People's support for him also far exceeds the previous three gang leaders, almost reaching the peak.

Although Liao Qiu is only the deputy city lord, his ruling method is simple and ruthless - everyone must obey orders honestly and work according to the rules.You can eat whatever you want, there is no choice.If Ji Ji Wai Wai has other ideas, then don’t blame me for being rude, first reduce your daily food ration, and then completely deprive you of the ration, and then depending on the severity of the situation, at least you will be kicked out of Sun City, and at worst you will be beheaded in public. Corpse parts.

So what Yang Yan said was understandable to Ling Zihan, and there were many corresponding solutions.

He stared at Yang Yan, and asked slowly: "What happened to those who made the request?"

Yang Yan scooped up a bowl of broth from the earthen pot with a spoon and drank it slowly: "The leader was caught and killed, and the mechanical and physiological parts of the corpse were separated and stripped. The high-definition printed photos of the deceased were set up at the main streets of the city for public display."

Ling Zihan frowned subconsciously: "Why do you want to do this? You just need to nod your head to kill people, it's almost enough. This way of doing things is too perverted!"

"Young man, don't be so impatient, listen to me before you make any comments." Yang Yan glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and continued: "There is a reason for killing people, and in my opinion, the city administration at that time The reason why the group forces did this is also very reasonable. They killed more than 50 leaders of the riots, produced a total of [-] special canned meat, and distributed them to almost the same number of people who participated in the riots and were arrested, forcing them Eat it on the spot."

Ling Zihan still didn't understand: "Fifty people can make [-] cans? Lao Yang, are you making up a story to lie to me?"

Yang Yan snorted coldly and sneered dismissively: "Think with your brain. Of course it is impossible for fifty people to make so many cans. When have you ever seen cans of pure meat? You go to the supermarket to see Look, no matter what brand of canned food, the basic ingredient is more than 60.00% cassava flour, and there are various additives that you know or don’t know. Even the meat of the rebels is extremely precious. 1”

"However, this incident also reminded the city management bureau that those people began to think about the management of the city. It was at that time that the plan for poultry breeding and livestock breeding was proposed. Three years later, the first poultry farm A batch of broiler chickens came out of the cage. The speed of the livestock side was slower, and the supply of meat pigs and meat dogs was only five years later. It was only because of the use of cassava products as feed, coupled with the unique environment of the underground world, that their genes were produced. Changes, both texture and taste are very different from those of the same kind in the old era."

Ling Zihan was more shrewd than ordinary people. He heard a different meaning from Yang Yan's words: "Killing the crowd and making their corpses into cans is a very bad start. From then on , just learn from it.”

"Yes." Yang Yan nodded: "The production of canned food is a branch of the food processing industry. These days, as long as you have some equipment, anyone can enter the industry. There are so many canned food brands on the market. In order to compete, In order to get more profits, various manufacturers can only desperately reduce costs."

"They dare to use any raw material, even if it stinks and deteriorates, as long as the meat is not too rotten. Add enough auxiliary materials and seasonings, add a certain amount of pigment, and you can turn it into canned luncheon meat that can be put on the shelves. "

"Anyway, people's physical condition is not as fragile as in the old days. The prefabricated stomach can decompose toxins in advance, and the existence of the tongue and mouth is only to satisfy the taste and anesthetize the brain, that's all."

"It is said that there are people in the United Doctors Association who regularly supply human tissue to canners. I mean the kind that have been extracted by them and discarded."

Ling Zihan was dumbfounded: "Are you sure?"

Yang Yan said earnestly: "I have taken similar cases before, but I really can't investigate further, because the resistance from the United Doctors Association is too great, and the attitude of the cannery is also very serious. Tough and refused to cooperate with the investigation."

"In fact, the reason is very simple. Compared with the so-called "meat raw materials" circulating on the black market, the human tissues sold from the United Doctors Association are much better in terms of freshness and cleanliness. Those damn canners even did it According to market research, canned food made of fresh meat is very popular among the common people, and can be sold at a higher price.”

"This kind of thing is not visible."

"The Market Supervision Bureau also conducted an investigation. They took samples of the canned food and eliminated a batch of such unscrupulous small canned food workshops."

"But it's useless to do so, only profitable. Canning shops will always exist. If one is banned, there will be at least three or five new ones, and they will emerge in endlessly."

"Later, the market didn't bother to take care of it, because the interests involved were too great and too much. From production to sales, a complete, systematic, and tight circular closed circle has been formed, even if the investigation from the city government is no longer Big, the news will always come out, and the police will never catch the relevant people involved.”

"As time goes by, it will be nothing."

"So I dare not say 80.00% of the canned meat sold in the market in Liuyun City, but more than [-]% can detect human biological tissue components."

"Like you said before, recycling."

Ling Zihan frowned: "Will there be any problems with this method? I mean prions."

Yang Yandao: "You really think too much about this. Do you still remember what I mentioned about the Doctors United Association?"

Ling Zihan nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Why, while they provide biological tissues, they can also ensure food safety?"

Yang Yan lowered his voice: "You obviously don't understand the significance of the United Doctors Association! Let's put it this way, as long as there is a United Doctors Association, I don't know about other places, but in Floating Cloud City, there will be no large-scale plagues or disease or something."

"As for the prion mutation you mentioned, those doctors completely blocked this possibility from the source."

"There is also a folk saying that the radiation environment after the war has changed the human body. Many things that were inedible before can no longer pose a threat to us, so...you understand."

Ling Zihan thought for a long time in silence.

He raised his head and stared at Yang Yan: "What do you think about the disappearance of Le Yuqin's husband?"
