Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 111 Head (1w)

Wang Qiaoya did not disappoint Zhu Chuanren, and he quickly targeted a suspicious person.

In the private room outside the building, Wang Qiaoya, his mouth full of oil after eating, pointed to the photos on the table and said:

"Have you seen this man?"

Zhu Chuanren took the photo and looked at it. The person in the photo was thin, wearing round black sunglasses, and carrying a flag on his shoulder, which read "hanging pot to help the world".

"It looks familiar~"

Wang Qiaoya pointed out the window. Zhu Chuanren was stunned for a moment before a clever idea came to his mind:
"I remembered, this man often used banners to treat poor people nearby~"

Zhu Chuanren took the photo and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little confused:
"He is not Luo Jiadong~"

"Look carefully~"

Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes and continued to look at it for a while, comparing the person in the photo with Luo Jiadong in his mind, and gradually saw the clues:
"Is there something in his mouth?"

"Yes!" Wang Qiaoya grabbed the fried chicken leg with one hand and took a bite.

"Coupled with the eyes and the thinner body than before, no wonder I can't find my man. He is indeed right under my nose!"

Zhu Chuanren didn't know whether to admire the other party's boldness or carefulness?I still blame my subordinate Ma Daha~
"What do I need to do?"

"Kill him~" Zhu Chuanren said lightly. In his opinion, this person had repeatedly caused trouble for him, and there was no need to exist anymore.

As for whether the assassination against him was his handiwork, Zhu Chuanren said that he didn't care. If the person died and the assassination against him disappeared, the result would be obvious.

On the other hand, if the assassination continues, then it won't matter whether Luo Jiadong did it or not.

In short, Luo Jiadong's death is a matter of no harm to him, so what else is there to say?Just kill him directly.

But Wang Qiaoya said:
"I will not kill anyone who is harmless to the country or harmless to me."

Zhu Chuanren said directly:

"I heard that one of your brothers is being held in the patrol house?"

Wang Qiaoya was slightly startled:
"What do you mean?"

"The crime he committed is not serious. He just accidentally touched the wife of a secretary in the public affairs bureau. I can get him out with just one word."

Wang Qiaoya sighed:

"The world is really in decline~"

"Haha, since ancient times, those in power must use their power. Otherwise, if you have to work hard to become an official, what is the use of having this power?"

Zhu Chuanren is very open-minded. Those who say they hate corrupt officials and abuse of power, once they gain power, they will definitely do more than those before them. This is human nature.

"Okay, I'll help you kill the man. When will my brother be released?"

"Head for head, fair!"

The implication is that once Luo Jiadong dies, your brother will be released.

"Okay, fair, that's settled~"

"You continue to eat, I have something else to do."

Wang Qiaoya waved his hand, indicating that he was casual.

Zhu Chuanren left the building outside the building and took a car to the sugar factory. The method of making potato chips has been handed over to Xia Yuanzhang, but the packaging and transportation problems have not been solved, so they will not be introduced to the market in a short time.

But sugar factories also need new products to maintain their industry status. No, Xia Yuanzhang called Zhu Chuanren for help last night.

"Luncheon meat?" Xia Yuanzhang said, looking at the scrawled patterns on the drawing.

"Yes, once this thing is ready, it will definitely be good news to the poor."

Xia Yuanzhang looked at the drawings thoughtfully.

For the Chinese, especially those who were born in poor times in later generations, a can of luncheon meat in a tin box with a magical little iron key, scooped with a small spoon and eat two bites, will immediately satisfy the hungry stomach. insect.

After the empty iron cans are washed, they can be used as ashtrays.

This memory is definitely unforgettable.

When many people were young, during festivals and wedding banquets, a plate of luncheon meat was served on the table, and it was quickly snatched up by the little kids. Their mouths were filled with the aroma of starchy oil, and the limelight even overshadowed the chicken, duck, and fish at the banquet. .

Whenever I think back to those wonderful memories of luncheon meat in my childhood, my stomach will growl.

As a great invention in the food industry that is as famous as instant noodles, the origin of luncheon meat is quite legendary.

Although later generations have a special liking for luncheon meat, the soldiers of the Ugly Kingdom during the Second Station despised this kind of convenience food that had no meat flavor.

But there is no denying that it was lunch meat that helped them survive the most difficult years of the war and win the final victory.

In the original world, luncheon meat was first born during the economic crisis in the 20s.

At that time, the country's purchasing power dropped sharply, and even daily food expenses were unsustainable.

American meat products giant Hormel Company used a very small amount of pork shoulder, potato starch, sugar, salt and water to make 12-ounce canned meat. In order to prevent the meat from oxidizing in the air, a small amount of Nitrite.

This meat was named "Spam". Although it was so unpalatable that people and gods were outraged, it was extremely cheap, only 40 cents per can at the time, and could be eaten immediately after being opened and kept for a long time. Therefore, it quickly became a meat substitute for the middle and lower class people. Taste.

The implementation of the latter two "Roosevelt New Deal" allowed the U.S. economy to gradually recover, and the market for luncheon meat plummeted, almost withdrawing from the stage of history.

However, the plot took a turn, as magical as the narrow escape from entrepreneurship. The outbreak of World War II not only gave luncheon meat a new lease of life, but also made it popular out of control.

In 1941, the United States officially declared war on the Fascists after the Pearl Harbor incident. In order to solve the logistical supply difficulties on battlefields with long distances and changing environmental and climate conditions, the United States spent nearly 1941 million U.S. dollars on Spam luncheon meat from 1945 to 4.

Facts have proved that this is a very wise decision. Although luncheon meat contains almost no vitamins and minerals, it is rich in fat, protein and carbohydrates. It is an absolute "three-high junk food" and is suitable for soldiers who are tired for a long time. They replenish their energy.

It can be said that luncheon meat accompanied the Ugly soldiers to various battlefields in the second station and witnessed the ups and downs of the war until the final victory.

However, this does not weaken the Ugly Soldiers' aversion to luncheon meat. The endless Spam luncheon meat is like enemy bullets and gonorrhea to the Ugly Soldiers.

They also gave this unfortunate canned food many nicknames: imitation meat, offal meat, and magic meat.

Breakfast, lunch, lunch, luncheon meat is everywhere!
All officers and soldiers were treated equally. Even General Eisenhower, the famous Allied Commander-in-Chief, was eating his share of lunch meat with millions of soldiers, cursing his mother, and secretly praying for victory to come soon, so that he could completely get rid of this damned meat. !
Later, in the 90s, "Spam" was used to refer to junk mail. The person who invented this word must have had fathers who ate this kind of "sacred meat" in the trenches of World War II. The resentment will linger for a long time.

Even though luncheon meat is not popular with the soldiers of this country, it is very popular in other countries.

A large amount of Spam luncheon meat was distributed to the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Mao Xiong, Bangguo and other countries during the war, and had varying degrees of impact on the eating habits of these countries.

During World War II, Britain also had a god-like food—carrots, which were originally used to feed livestock before the war.

During the war, the British government marketed this cheap thing that no one had eaten in the past as a "main source of vitamin A," and carrots became popular.

But when the British soldiers had the chance to eat the American Spam luncheon meat after the Battle of Normandy, they were astonished.

After all, compared to bland carrots, luncheon meat is really "fat and watery" and extremely delicious!
Luncheon meat therefore became the most ideal staple food in Britain at that time, when supplies were scarce.

Spam is equally popular among the Red Bears.

At that time, Mao Xiong was in a food shortage. He added water to luncheon meat and cooked it into a paste, then spread it on the big ribs, sprinkled with salt and chopped onions. This kind of food helped the soldiers of the former Soviet Union usher in a turning point in the war.

Not to mention China. During the expeditionary force's entry into Myanmar, luncheon meat was further spread.

For the poor Chinese at that time, this was simply a delicacy on earth;
During the Eight Years' War, you were lucky to be able to seize the cans of the Little Book, and during the Korean War, you were very lucky to be able to seize the cans of the Ugly Army. If you could harvest a few cans of beer by the way, it would be a New Year.

In some developed cities after the war, such as Shanghai, luncheon meat can still be seen. As a result, Chou Country has left many Chinese people with the impression of living a luxurious life.

However, after continuous improvement, luncheon meat has become one of the most important foods for the Chinese troops, especially the field troops.

During the Peninsular War, the ugly army brought luncheon meat to the Korean Peninsula. The local people cooked the luncheon meat in a pot with spicy cabbage, mushrooms, instant noodles, tofu, hot sauce and other ingredients. This way of eating was named " "Military hot pot" has been circulated and known as a famous dish.

Luncheon meat has also become a luxurious delicacy that everyone desires in the country for a long time.

As the most popular food in Bang Country, for a period of time, luncheon meat was even a decent gift box during holidays, and its consumption in the world was second only to that of Ugly Country.

Although many wealthy Bangkok people no longer eat luncheon meat, there is no doubt that this canned food full of historical memories has long become a symbol of wealth and nutrition in the hearts of many Bangkok people.

At the end of the second station, the overall strength of the Neon Army was retreating steadily, supplies were extremely scarce, and there were even cases of eating prisoners of war.

At this time, the lunch meat left behind by the ugly army unintentionally played the role of "disrupting people's hearts".

As Xiao Benzi ate the remaining lunch meat, his sense of resistance began to weaken, and he even began to question whether he should start this war with an egg against a stone.

After the war, Neon was occupied by the Chou Kingdom, and a large amount of lunch meat was continuously shipped to the local area, quickly solving the problem of feeding the hungry people in Neon.

With the recovery of the neon economy, the tradition of eating luncheon meat has still been retained.

This group of people also brought luncheon meat to the territory of Chou Country.

It sounds fantasy, right, but at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of neon workers immigrated to Hawaii. Due to the rapid growth in the number of neon immigrants, there were frequent conflicts between the neon immigrants and the locals.

After the outbreak of World War II, this conflict continued to escalate. The US government strictly prohibited non-citizens from fishing in the sea to prevent military intelligence from being leaked to the Neon Navy. This caused a sharp decline in fish meat production and soared prices.

The emergence of lunch meat and canned sardines solved this problem.

Later, this is still one of the most common foods in Hawaii, with more than 500 million cans consumed every year, and the grand Waikiki Spam Festival is held every May to commemorate the past years.

With the development of luncheon meat in the 21st century, the raw materials are no longer just pork and ham, but the luncheon meat family.

Beef, chicken, duck, aspic, turkey, fish, etc., the flavors have also been extended: spicy, black pepper, teriyaki sauce, etc.

However, for long-term preservation considerations, nitrite is still necessary, which also makes lunch meat taste as salty as ever.

There are also more diversified ways of eating, with luncheon meat now more often served as a side dish or a snack that recalls the past.

With the rapid development of people's health and nutrition research, luncheon meat is more and more considered to have little nutrition. No matter how delicious it is, it is always an emergency filling food and is not suitable for long-term consumption.

But in this era, when supplies are so scarce, if lunch meat can be produced, it will definitely be good news for the poor.

As for production issues, Zhu Chuanren is not too worried, although full automation in the later stage is not possible.

But in this era of extremely low labor costs, assembly line production can still be completed using manpower.

Of course, the output could not keep up with the machines. According to the standards of later generations, pigs entered through the workshop door and went directly to the slaughtering workshop.

Then the meat is divided, trimmed, and further processed into minced meat, mixed with starch, added with food additives, canned, steamed, and sealed, and a box of spam is born.

As for what comes out of the scrap workshop, except for pig bones and internal organs, there is basically no meat at all, and the utilization rate is very high.

Moreover, all processes are completed on the assembly line in the same factory. In the fastest case, a pig can be turned into a canned luncheon meat in 10 minutes. The luncheon meat output is calculated on an hourly basis.

This is the strongest light industrial production capacity on earth. Correspondingly, other countries’ canned meat production at that time could only count how many boxes were produced in a day.

Of course, the production process of most foods on such a large scale will make people feel disgusted, especially meat products. If you have seen the production of luncheon meat, you may have a psychological shadow, or even say goodbye to this delicious food completely.

First, most of the factory is occupied by noisy machines and conveyor belts that deliver meat back and forth.

But modern production means that the entire factory doesn't smell a bit of meaty smell.

A meat grinder chops and minces the meat, and then the machine adds preservatives and flavorings, the amount of which depends on where the can is being transported.

For example, consumers in Asia want less salt, while consumers in Central America want more spiciness.

After the seasonings and meat are mixed, a filling machine puts the meat into cans.

The cans are then steamed at 234 degrees Fahrenheit (about 112 degrees Celsius) for 70 minutes.

Once the cans have cooled, the products are packaged and shipped around the world, where they will remain good for at least five years without refrigeration.

It all adds up to a picture that's both fascinating and disturbing.

Sticky meat pours off the conveyor belt and vomits out of the gleaming metal.

It needs to be explained here that although Spam has always emphasized that he only added starch to luncheon meat in later generations, a box of luncheon meat has always been 94% meat.

But everyone understands that this is actually quite ridiculous, because minced meat will never be processed into a spoonful without any fiber. If you don’t add starch, you can refer to British canned corned beef.

It will have a very grainy feel because it lacks starch as a chelating agent, and will exhibit a fibrous feel.

The luncheon meat during World War II did not taste "meaty" at all. This was really because Hormel, as a profiteer, used more starch and soy protein.

As for why no one is pursuing it?Because the "meat" produced by this method is actually not much different in nutrition from real pork except for the taste.

Because 340 grams of lunch meat, even a little bit of lean meat, is not all starch and pork. Lean meat can provide two important nutrients:
Vitamins and proteins.

These two are not the most important on the front line. The lunch meat uses starch and lard. The lard adds a lot of calories. You must know that calories are far more important than vitamins on the front line. This is lunch. The power of meat.

A 340-gram can of lard and starch is too much for Neon to supply, not to mention that it is open and can be eaten in unlimited quantities.

As for the vitamins provided by lean meat, the vitamin A family is very high in lard, as is the E family, and although D is not abundant, it is also present.

Group B does not contain lard, but group B is particularly easy to replenish. If you eat brown bread such as brown bread, you really can’t eat wheat bran. This ingredient is in compressed biscuits, and you can also get vitamin B if you eat these things.

Moreover, this can provide more lunch meat to the front line quickly. Moreover, even if it was 340 grams of pork and soy protein plus starch at the second station, no other country in the world can supply it in large quantities.

To be precise, except for the ugly army and the army that received US aid supplies, there is absolutely no other army that can eat such good food.

Moreover, the supply of luncheon meat is in excess. The Ugly Army's frontline eats basically unlimited luncheon meat (if the logistics cannot deliver it, it will be calculated separately).

So much so that wherever the soldiers of the Ugly Kingdom go, they throw these things that they are tired of eating everywhere. What they can get back may include but are not limited to: women, adoring eyes, and the knees of various "big shots". . .

In the face of devastated Europe and East Asia, the ugly country simply used its backlog of luncheon meat as part of the aid supplies, and luncheon meat became popular all over the world.

If you have a guest at home and open a can of luncheon meat, the guest will definitely be moved to tears.

Historically, spam did not come to the U.S. Army with the aid of the United States. It was imported into the country before the start of the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, it was a delicacy that only the upper class could afford.

There are different names for spam in the north and the south. In the north, spam is called "cured pork" or "cured meat". In some people's mouth, it is confused with canned British corned beef, and is also called "sauce beef" or "marinated beef".

The south calls it canned pork.

As for why "luncheon meat" has become the exclusive term for this kind of canned meat in China, there are three theories:

First, after the war, the people of Modou were the first to come into contact with US aid spam. This precious thing can only appear in the lunches of senior military and political officials and big capitalists, so it is called "luncheon meat."

Secondly, the tea restaurants in Xiangjiang will serve food processed by spam at lunch, so spam is called "luncheon meat".

Thirdly, British officials in Hong Kong will eat spam sandwiches for lunch. Hong Kong people call the spam in them luncheon meat.

Canned luncheon meat, which looks very simple, is actually the crystallization of light industry. Tinplate is batch welded into cans. There are many countries that can do this, but not many countries can produce it in large quantities.

Of course, if you understand the production process of luncheon meat, you will know that the production of this thing is not complicated, it mainly consists of meat and starch.

As for whether this kind of luncheon meat will be loved by people, I can only say that don’t underestimate the energy that ordinary people can burst out when they are hungry.

Therefore, adding more starch is not a problem at all. Back then, the frontline soldiers of the Ugly Army said that they had no idea what they were eating, so spam was nicknamed "Spiritual Meat", which meant that the devil didn't know whether this thing was meat.

I just don’t know if after the birth of luncheon meat, the Chinese people will rush to research and develop the army.

Anyone familiar with the history of Second Station knows that canned luncheon meat, along with Coca-Cola, accompanied the US military in the war and contributed greatly to the final victory of World War II. It was also a symbol of the strong national power of the US empire at the time.

Although the young soldiers of the American emperor often abandon Spam like a piece of shit, after all, this thing was developed during the Great Depression for everyone to make do with.

But for liberated areas and defeated countries, this kind of canned cured meat is a rare delicacy.

After experiencing the ravages of the Neon Rule and the Korean War, although the lives of ordinary people in the country cannot be said to be impoverished, they can still be regarded as completely destitute, and they cannot squeeze out a drop of oil or water from the inside out.

After experiencing a brutal war, almost the entire Korean Peninsula was in famine,
At this time, Choujun's canned food can be regarded as golden in this environment.

The people of Bangguo who couldn't live any longer gathered around the base of the ugly army, hoping to survive from the leftovers of the ugly army.

Although the people of Bang Country have never thought of getting original lunch meat directly from the ugly army, after all, eating garbage all the time is not an option.But in the country at that time, luncheon meat was a military commodity, and smuggling luncheon meat was a felony.

However, with the emergence of a group, the people of the country not only have a way to safely get luncheon meat from the ugly army camp, but also
A black market for luncheon meat soon flourished.

Everyone knows that Chou Jun is famous for not being able to control his lower body.
As long as you go a little far away from home, your inner hormones will start to be restless.

In the Korean Peninsula, which was cold, poor, and dangerous at the time, the homesick Ugly Army was particularly in need of comfort from special groups.

In order to take good care of the Ugly Soldiers who came from afar, the government learned from the previous "comfort station" system of Neon and began to encourage domestic women to respond to the country's call and actively devote themselves to the country to earn extra money from the Ugly Soldiers.

Soon, a group of special practitioners called "Yankee whores" appeared in the country. The number was once 2, and many of these women were married housewives. The original intention of doing this job was just to make money for their families. People have enough food to eat.

Officially, Chinese people praise these women as “true patriots who earn military expenses for the ugly army.”

But in fact, these women who devote themselves to their families suffer discrimination in American society.

However, it is precisely because of this special relationship with the ugly army that many Yankee girls got a lot of lunch meat from their temporary partners.

As time went by, luncheon meat began to appear on the tables of ordinary Chinese people.

But friends who have eaten luncheon meat know that the taste of this kind of cured meat is relatively bland.

In order to improve the taste, people in Bangkok still use luncheon meat to try various improvements.

At first, the Bangguo people made a pot of stew with canned pineapple, cabbage, onions, cheese and luncheon meat obtained from the ugly army base.

After adding anchovy broth flavored with hot sauce and kimchi, Bangguo people found that the texture of the meat finally hit the road.

It is said that there is also an ugly boss who praised this dish. I don’t know whether it is true or not. Anyway, the habit of boasting among the Bang people means that the probability of this being false is very high.

With the development of the country's economy and the advancement of the times, Vienna sausage, bacon, tofu, pork, ground beef, instant noodles, macaroni, rice cakes, mozzarella cheese and vegetables began to become the side dishes of this stew.

And this stew, which contains half of the modern history of the country, is also known as "military stew". With the increasing influence of the Korean Wave, it is known to people from other countries around the world.

But in fact, it is just a stew of kimchi with lunch meat as the C position.

"Chuan Ren, where does this pork come from? The whole world is short of meat, let alone our country." Xia Yuanzhang asked.

"Don't lock your eyes. There is more than one kind of meat that can be canned. Chicken, duck, goose or fish are all fine."

Xia Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment:

"You mean to mix these meats together?"

"Of course not. You can make canned chicken, canned fish, etc. The technology is the same, just change the packaging name."

Xia Yuanzhang reacted:
"That's easy to say, but the problem is still the issue of raw materials. Where can we find so much meat?"

"You can solve this problem yourself. You can't ask me for everything!"

Zhu Chuanren directly came and pushed, six, two, five. Anyway, I am the boss. I am only responsible for commanding. You can decide the specific matters yourself.

If Xia Yuanzhang hadn't been older, I would have really wanted to roll my eyes at him when he heard this.

"But Chuanren, how do you price this canned food? It's meat after all. If it's cheap, we'll easily lose money, but if it's expensive, ordinary people won't be able to afford it."

Zhu Chuanren thought for a while:

"You need to make a cost estimate first and then talk about pricing. We can't set prices out of thin air."

"Yes, this project will probably require the opening of a new production line, and the machinery, equipment, personnel, and raw materials will all be confused."

"Let's make a cost budget first. There is no need to expand the initial production volume. We need to familiarize ourselves with the production process first."

"I understand, but this is not considered a snack, and it is inconsistent with the purpose of our sugar factory."

After a pause, Xia Yuanzhang smiled mysteriously:
"If you don't have any ideas, I have an idea~"

"Oh?" Zhu Chuanren was somewhat surprised. Xia Yuanzhang is a management talent and has no innovation ability.

When he suddenly said this, could Zhu Chuanren not be surprised?

"Do you know about jelly?" Xia Yuanzhang asked.

Do you know jelly?Could you please remove the word "?"That's too much to know.

It is definitely a popular snack all over the world, a favorite of children and girls.

And jelly has almost grown up with the modern history of the country, and has swept the world in the next hundred years.

What is jelly made of?gelatin.

Beginning in the 15th century, Europeans made edible gelatin by cooking pig or cow bones and skins, boiling them for several hours, filtering them, and adding flavors and seasonings.

However, this process is not only time-consuming, but also too expensive for mass products.

In the 19th century, jelly entered the country's upper class society, and even the boss's family banquet included various jelly desserts.

The market is in urgent need of a simple method for making jelly.

At the same time, the march of the Industrial Revolution has been playing out in Europe and the United States, and some people who want to make a fortune are sparing no effort in making various inventions and creations.

An inventor named Peter Cooper first came up with an easy way to obtain gelatin: industrial gelatin powder.

The name sounds like it is poisonous, but it actually uses a machine to dry the gelatin and grind it into powder. When gelatin is needed, water is added directly.

He immediately registered the patent.

But for Cooper, who had no regard for the food industry, this little invention didn't mean much. He had been immersed in how to make better industrial glue.

At that time, there was a couple in the suburbs of New York who made a living selling cough syrup. The husband was named Pierre and the wife was named Mei.

Mei likes cooking. She makes cakes, chocolate desserts, etc. at home when she has nothing to do. She is very good at it.

At that time, the country's medical treatment was developing rapidly, and the demand for cough syrup was decreasing. Mei wanted to make money by selling food.

So the two of them bought Cooper's gelatin patent with a small amount of money, and added various sugars to the gelatin. People who tried it thought it tasted great.

So, they named their jelly, Jell-O. Jell means gel, and O means "cute jelly."

However, the two of them run a small workshop and are embarrassed to do marketing and promotion on the street.

In 1899, the 25th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Einstein graduated from university. The couple sold the patented formula to an acquaintance, Mr. W, for US$450. This price did not sound high in later generations, but it was not a small sum at the time. .

W is a successful food salesman.

After he tasted the beautiful and delicious jelly, he invested hundreds of dollars to set up a production line and put all kinds of beautifully packaged jelly wherever he could.

Four years later, W, who was overconfident in himself, was finally close to bankruptcy and wanted to sell the production line to a big businessman at a very low price.

As a result, the big-ticket businessman suddenly became smarter. After examining it for three full months, he did not buy it.

Good luck finally came to W.

In 1904, W hired an employee who was very smart and eloquent but didn't know much about production. He had been convincing W to spend a sum of money ($336) to do a quarterly advertisement in the most popular housewife's journal in the United States at that time. .

It is said that if you want to succeed, you must find the wave of the times and stand firmly on the top of the wave.

How much is $336?At that time, the market price of a large pack of Jell-O was only 10 cents, and the gross profit was less than 0.5 cents.

At that time, the famous American writer Jack London wanted to build a long-distance voyage ship, and the cost was 7000 US dollars.

After much deliberation, W decided to take the risk.

The editors of housewives magazines found a few European immigrant girls in white skirts and permed blond curly hair, and announced to their readers:
Jell-O is the favorite dessert among Ugly people.

A year later, W sold $25 of jelly.

Within a few years, W simply named his company Jell-O, which became one of the most famous food brands in the country, almost equivalent to Starbucks in later generations.

In 1924, listening to the radio became popular in the country, so W spent money on broadcasting companies. If illustration ads were popular, he would spend money on comics and magazines. If newspaper ads were popular, he would spend money on news companies. If TV ads were popular, he would spend money on TV advertising companies. , find someone to write jelly recipes for popular recipes.

Decades later, various media diverted readers and viewers, and spokesperson advertising became popular again. W spent a huge sum of money to hire a comedy star to be the spokesperson, pushing the company to the top.

But problems ensued.

There are more and more obesity patients in China, and many nutritionists blame high calorie intake.

Daole has depreciated in value, but the price of jelly cannot rise, and advertising costs are also getting higher and higher.

As a result, W's first Jell-O production line was discontinued, and the company was acquired by the later Kraft Foods Group.

Jell-O has returned to its original name: gelatin jelly.

But Zhu Chuanren was a little curious:
"Shop Manager Xia? Where did you know about this?"

Xia Yuanzhang smiled bitterly:
"It's also luck. Not long ago, I attended the birthday party of an ugly Chinese man from the Ministry of Industry. His child kept having a tantrum, so the ugly Chinese man took out jelly and stuffed it into the child's mouth, and he immediately stopped crying.

At that time, I thought it was profitable. When I asked about it, I thought it was a good thing and it was not difficult to make. "

Zhu Chuanren nodded, knowing that Xia Yuanzhang did not think of this by himself. It was not that he looked down upon him, but that he really did not have the ability and thinking.

"Of course you can make jelly, but you also have to think about the packaging."

"Don't worry, I've asked about everything and I know what I know~"

"Then let's do it, including the luncheon meat."

"I know~"

A few days later, Zhu Chuanren was having breakfast at home when he heard from someone below that Wang Qiaoya had arrived.

Seeing him coming in with a cloth bag, Zhu Chuanren's face darkened and he pointed towards the study.

Wang Qiaoya didn't want to cause trouble to the Zhu family, so he followed Zhu Chuanren's fingers and walked into the study.

Zhu Chuanren stood up and explained to his family:

"I have something to do, you continue to eat~"

After saying that, he threw away the napkin and walked into the study, followed closely by Lao Tan.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wang Qiaoya smiling teasingly at him.

"Luo Jiadong?"

Zhu Chuanren asked, pointing to the cloth bag in his hand.

"Not bad~ Do you dare to take a look?"

"Then what's there to be afraid of~"

Having said that, Zhu Chuanren was still shocked by the other party's courage. In this era, he still engaged in beheading. He was worthy of the title of the number one killer.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be holding on, Wang Qiaoya curled his lips, feeling disappointed that the prank had failed.

"Look, I did what you asked for, what about what you promised me?"

The cloth bag was unfolded, and Zhu Chuanren waved his hands in disgust after just one glance. Lao Tan immediately stepped forward to wrap the cloth bag.

"How's it going? Are you sure?"

"What do you think? And you chopped off your head?"

"Accident, accident. Didn't he pretend to be blind? I set up a trap for him, and there was a little accident. The ax hit his head, and then you saw it?"

Wang Qiaoya said it very easily, but Zhu Chuanren imagined a very bloody scene in his mind. Damn it, he couldn't think about it, he felt like vomiting.

"At 12 o'clock tonight, go to the back door of the patrol room to pick someone up."

"It's great! I didn't expect that it would be a pleasure to work with you. If you have such good things in the future, just come to me." Wang Qiaoya said.

"Haha, it's a pleasure to work with you. By the way, I've already arranged a place to stay. You can move in at any time."

Wang Qiaoya cupped his fists and said:

"Thank you!"

You can hear his sincerity in this thank you, and you can see that Wang Qiaoya is a person who cares about his brothers' lives very much. Whether he can even let his brothers live a good life plays a large role in his eyes.

"You're welcome. You can come to me if you need anything. Of course, you know who I am. If I help you, you have to help me. Otherwise, what use do I need from you?"

"Haha, it's a very realistic sentence, I remember it!"

"Old Tan, send Mr. Wang off for me."

"Yes~Third Young Master~"

"There is still this dirty thing, take it out and bury it. The dead one is the most important." Zhu Chuanren nuzzled at the cloth bag.

"Ok~"

Wang Qiaoya opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

After they left, Zhu Kaishan walked in:

"San'er, who was that person just now?"

"Wang Qiaoya, you are considered a character, what's wrong, dad?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask. Looking at that man walking like a dragon and a tiger, I can see that he is Lian Jiazi, and he is full of evil spirits. A lot of people have died in his hands."

Zhu Kaishan's judgment was very accurate. Zhu Chuanren admired it and said:
"You're right. He is called the number one killer in the Republic of China by outsiders. There are definitely many people who died at his hands."

"I remembered that I had talked to people about him before, and everyone admired him."

Zhu Chuanren nodded:

"He is quite famous outside~"

"how did you guys meet?"

"It's an accident. It's like we don't know each other until we fight. By the way, dad, how is your health lately? I heard from Lao Tan that you asked him to help get medicine?"

"It's nothing serious. When I was young, I practiced kung fu and accumulated a lot of hidden injuries. Now they're all showing up. My bones hurt whenever it rains."

The weather here in the Magic City is like this. The annual rainy season is absolutely uncomfortable. Even someone like him who is relatively adaptable will feel uncomfortable, let alone a northerner like Zhu Kaishan.

"I'll ask the doctor to take your pulse and take care of yourself."

"It's not necessary, is it?"

"It's so necessary. You have to take good care of yourself and see with your own eyes the four generations of our old Zhu family living under one roof."

"Haha, okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll also take your mother's pulse by the way. She's weak."

"Don't worry, we all need to take good care of ourselves. No one in our Lao Zhu family can be left behind."

Hearing this, Zhu Kaishan nodded happily. He couldn't be more satisfied with his third son. He should give birth to a son like Zhu Chuanren. He had heard this a lot recently, and now he felt it personally.

"Okay, San'er, we, Lao Zhu, will feel relieved to have you here. When I meet your grandparents down there in the future, your father and I will also be able to stand tall."

"Okay, I'll try my best not to disappoint you. By the way, dad, how is the boss doing lately? I feel like he's calmed down a lot!"

"Hmph, you think I don't know about his troubles. I'm just too lazy to talk to him. It doesn't matter if he just calms down and doesn't go out to cause trouble for you, I'll be relieved!"
