Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 139 Orange Soda
"Chen Huajiang actually wants to produce drinks? Here? Isn't this a fantasy?"

"He will definitely lose money. If he can make money, I will write the character "王" upside down."

"It's not that beverage factories are not that easy to get. Why don't we have such a factory in our city? How could Chen Huajiang be able to make soda with just two yards?"

In the wrestling hall, everyone said that they were not optimistic about Chen Huajiang's plan.
Similar discussions were happening at the entrance of the alley, at the end of the alley, and even on the food street at night.

So much so that Zhang Bao and others came to persuade Chen Huajiang to give up such a whimsical thing and stop the loss in time.

However, Chen Huajiang ignored him. Instead, he wore an argon arc welding mask and welded the machine in the yard.

As a welder with a third-level certificate, Chen Huajiang can do everything from argon arc welding to plasma arc welding and high-energy beam welding that will only appear in the future.

After all, that's what welders are like. Once you get through welding, you'll get through it a hundred times. It's very fast to get started.

Soon a mixer with a motor was welded, and then Chen Huajiang welded two dripping devices.

After finishing both, Chen Huajiang began to try the operation of the machine.

"Yes, you put the peeled oranges on the conveyor belt."

Chen Huajiang said as he directed his workers.

Each orange enters the juicer along the conveyor belt, is stirred into a juice mixture, enters the dripping device, and enters the bottle along the way.

When one bottle is full, a worker waiting aside will replace it with another bottle.

The previous bottle was transported to the second yard by a conveyor belt, where there were two high-pressure bottles, one filled with a mixture of chlorine and nitrogen, and the other filled with polysaccharides, which were poured into the bottle through the small hole in the lid and then taped.

The whole process was very simple, but Chen Huajiang was already very satisfied.

Many things are limited by the times. What Chen Huajiang has more than people of this era is precisely the experience of later generations.

In later generations, all hotels and catering departments can process and produce this kind of drink by themselves. There are all kinds of orange juice, orange juice, bitter melon juice, cucumber juice, apple juice, etc.

Even some vendors on the street use push carts to squeeze juice on site, which is very easy.

Because the technology in this area is very mature in later generations, as long as there are ingredients, only a mixer and a juice filling machine are needed.

The biggest difficulty here is actually only one, that is, people in this era do not have a rich understanding of anti-corrosion technology.

Just like the juices of later generations, most of them use sodium benzoate, nitrate, nitrite, sulfur dioxide, etc. as preservatives, and the shelf life can be as long as two or three years.

But most of those things only appeared after the 90s, because the development of the chemical industry can support the widespread use of such items.

Moreover, Chen Huajiang doesn't need to keep the orange juice for a shelf life of two or three years, he only needs to ensure that the orange juice will not go bad for a month or two.

Chlorine is an additive in tap water in later generations, which can ensure that tap water does not deteriorate for a long time.Nitrogen blocks the oxidation caused by oxygen and delays the decay of food.

Polysaccharides are natural food preservatives. In later generations, they were also nicknamed the 'King of Kemide'.

This recipe is known in later generations, and it is the recipe of street juice stalls and hotel catering departments. However, people who know it in the current era should be extremely rare.

"Have a taste."

Chen Huajiang handed a glass bottle to Zhang Bao.

The other party witnessed the whole process and didn't think there was any problem. He opened his mouth and took a sip.

"It tastes good, sour and sweet."

"Children should like to drink this very much. During this period, many parents take their children to eat barbecue in the food court, and children cannot drink beer. There should be a market for this thing."

After drinking it, Zhang Bao's eyes lit up, and he thought of the market in this area.

Chen Huajiang smiled and nodded. Juice is not just for children, adults can drink it too.The fruit juice market in later generations is no less than the Coke and Coke carbonated drink market, and is a major beverage market category second only to the drinking water market.

"But this should be easy to break, right?"

Zhang Bao frowned again and said speculatively.

"The shelf life is at least two months, and it will probably be fine within two months."

Chen Huajiang waved his hand and said with a smile.

Zhang Bao's eyes lit up, but soon he still looked a little unconvinced.

It's not because the shelf life is too short, but because it's too long!
However, Chen Huajiang did not explain it in detail to him. The formula was confidential and he could not tell others.

In this way, that night, a stall on the food street put out orange soda, which cost [-] cents a bottle. If the bottle was returned, [-] cents would be refunded, which was [-] cents a bottle.

In the first few days, not many people bought the orange juice that just appeared. After all, this is the case when anything first appears.

But gradually some children fell in love with orange juice, and then women, and soon they were loved by diners.

Even some men will buy a bottle of orange juice and gorge themselves on it after drinking and eating. Otherwise, the more they drink, the thirstier they become.

And Gao Yun also has another favorite thing after roasting gluten, that is, having a bottle of orange water when she has nothing to do.

But what troubles her is that the money in her wallet seems to be getting less and less.

Just like now, she only has [-] cents left in her pocket, should she buy two skewers of roasted gluten?Or buy a bunch of grilled seitan and a bottle of orange water?
Gao Yun was undecided for a moment and had been thinking about it for a full quarter of an hour at Zhang Bao's kebab stall.

"This is where they are! All confiscated and not allowed to be sold!"

At this moment, a truck drove up to the food street, and many people swarmed down from it.

The person in charge was Yang Shan from Gushan Winery. With an angry look on his face, he led his men to smash the stall here.

This of course aroused opposition from the stall owners, who for a while pushed and cursed each other.

When Gao Yun saw that things were not going well, she quickly ran back to inform Chen Huajiang.

Soon after Chen Huajiang got the news, Chen Huajiang rushed to the scene with Er Mao and others.

"What's going on? If you have something to say, tell me something. Don't imitate the bandits and smash things up."

Chen Huajiang saw Yang Shan at a glance and already understood the other party's confidence. Of course, he had more confidence.

"That's him, catch him!"

Yang Shan said to his subordinates, pointing at the resentment on Chen Huajiang's face.

During this period of time, he was full of anger. Not only did he not wait for Chen Huajiang to relent, he actually allowed the other party to seize the market in the glass factory.

As a result, his income has dropped sharply. After hearing the news, he will naturally come to clean up Chen Huajiang.

"What's the matter? Manager Yang, you are very cool. You are not a police officer, so you arrest people when you say you want to?"

"Do you think that I, Chen Huajiang, am a soft persimmon? Ermao, arrest him, won't I know how to play this trick?"

Chen Huajiang wasn't afraid at all, instead he signaled Ermao and his brothers to control Yang Shan.

"You are rebelling against heaven!"

"You're selling Laoshi beer here and you dare to be an animal. Chen Huajiang, you're screwed!"

Yang Shan pointed at Chen Huajiang and shouted viciously, his eyes full of resentment.

"What a joke, is this Laoshi beer? Why didn't I know?"

"Don't blame me. We get all the drinks here from Wuxing Village. What, doesn't Wuxing Village belong to Nanming City?"

"You Yang Shan are too shameless to expel them from the city?"

Chen Huajiang pointed at his nose and said disdainfully, his attitude even more arrogant than his.
