Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

He clearly understood the composition of the MSG, it was actually just the most ordinary sodium glutamate. This kind of amino acid that existed in a large amount of food was not necessary for a human's body, which meant that without this amino acid, a human can still live healthy lives.

However, this amino acid controls the human tongue fur's experience of a fresh taste, which is the origin of all food flavors.

In fact, there were a lot of fresh food that could not be tasted anymore in modern man. However, this was not the case in Paleogene, as their taste buds were more sensitive and could also sense the subtle changes in their taste buds.

The vinegar brewed by humans and soy sauce, the common bean curd milk and even the smelly tofu used by Chinese people, including the cheese that westerner liked to eat, were all ways for microorganisms to ferment and obtain more sodium glutamate.

The original seasonings were tasty, but the quantity was relatively low. The soy sauce ancient times were completely aristocratic foods, so it was extremely expensive. And the basic flavor of soy sauce is salty.

The first human to find sodium glutamate, presumably a German scientist in 1861, extracted the chemical from wheat gluten, but there was no commercial product.

It was possible that some scientist had just discovered something and named it by accident, completely unaware that the chemical could be eaten and added to its deliciousness, so the results of the research ended up locked in the lab and the notebook, with no one interested in them.

In 1908, Japanese scientists were intrigued by the unusual tastiness of his wife's kelp soup. In the same year, he had taken sodium glutamate from the kelp soup and put it on the market. This was the history of the birth of monosodium glutamate.

Xiao Letian was very clear that extracting sodium glutamate with kelp soup was an absolutely feasible method, but the efficiency was too low to be mass-produced.

In the 21st century, humans used food or sugar to produce sodium glutamate. Only then would the MSG industry be industrialized and the people of the world be able to eat cheap MSG.

Xiao Letian naturally did not know of the most advanced method, but he did not need to know that whether or not the MSG could become a commoner was not the fundamental question, nor was it a life and death plan of the Chinese people.

Being unable to eat MSG had nothing to do with the country's prosperity. It was already good enough to be able to eat a full meal.

Xiao Letian only needed the Evil Doctor Huang to refine a small portion of the sodium glutamate out, and that would be the unique characteristic of Xiao Letian's Eastern Banquet. He wanted to use this mysterious seasoning to conquer the entire European appetite, and then bestow it with the extremely mysterious color of the East.

At that time, this kind of mysterious Eastern secret recipe would be widely spread in the European circle of nobility s … Ha ha-ha, when the time comes, this will be a windfall, a windfall even worse than drugs!

European aristocracy took out a large amount of gold coins, and in the end, he only exchanged them for powder that was as rare as drugs. After that, he used these seasonings at the family banquet to act cool.

Was there a better business in the world? No more! The opportunity to make a fortune was right in front of them. As long as it worked properly, there should be no problem in exchanging them for two battleships in this mysterious sodium glutamate industry.

Xiao Letian calmly looked at Evil Doctor Huang. "Don't doubt me, just believe me! Let me tell you the truth, as long as you succeed, you should at least tell us that you can earn us two Zhiyuan Warship s, do you believe me? "

"What?" With a clatter, the porcelain spoon he had picked up fell onto the table again. However, this time, it was not as lucky.

But at this moment, the two of them were no longer focusing on the antiques, but were fully focused on the bowl of soup. Xiao Letian used his chopsticks to pick up a seaweed button and said softly, "The secret is here, the delicious secret that I am talking about, will be extracted from here!"

"Bring a few assistants who are proficient in chemical experiments to secretly fish out kelp and seaweed for me. Pick the most fresh ones and cook …" "Slowly cook, cook until the soup is thick, then dry it …"

"In the end, you will definitely get some grayish-brown dry matter. Remember, don't mess it up. There are still secrets hidden inside these dry matter!"

All that's left is to undergo various chemical purification, which is something that I won't interfere with. But I'm sure that the first kelp powder is already very delicious.

The Evil Doctor Huang never thought that the leader would actually give them the way. Whether it was modern scientific research in medicine or chemistry, it was all based on experiments. When theories first appeared, they were all hypothetical.

However, the laboratory's work was actually not that profound. It was a set of mature technical methods used to perform experiments back and forth, as well as recording the results. Every failure and every improvement combined together. As long as you were willing to spend money and time, and had enough manpower, a breakthrough was almost inevitable.

Now that the Evil Doctor Huang had a plan in his heart, he stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you! "Since the leader is so confident, I will assign a group to conduct the experiment alone. According to your opinion, this experiment should not be difficult, so I will prepare it right away!"

"Well, I bless you! Fresh flavor extract and our virus island project are the foundation for your Evil Doctor Huang to settle down. If you succeed, you will be located among the 6th, 18th and so on … "

"Hiss …" Evil Doctor Huang inhaled a breath of cold air. He really did not expect the Führer to offer such a high price for the project, to be able to get such a noble title as a reward. Evil Doctor Huang felt as if all the blood in his body was ignited.

"Führer, just watch. Even if I die of exhaustion, I'll make it for you …"

"Don't think that this is an easy task. Before we reach London, you have to provide me with a batch of finished products, even if it is the most common tasty drying agent! There's not much time left, you only have one month's time! "

"Fine, I will issue the military order!" "I'll have to get some of the kelp drier within a month at the very most …"

"No, no, no …" You can't say anything about kelp to others. This is the secret concoction of my Shaw's's family, and we can't use any names with symbols on it! "

"Alright!" Evil Doctor Huang drank the cup of green tea like he was drinking wine. He didn't even eat anymore as he turned around and left.

That afternoon, the residents of Port Said found out that many Chinese were hiring locals to excavate the kelp.

In the whole world, only East Asian peoples like to eat kelp. North Korea, Japan and China all eat kelp as a vegetable. But there is no such thing along the Mediterranean Sea.

No one knew what these Chinese people were going to do. They searched everywhere for the cleanest sea area and the healthiest sea belt. Originally, the Mediterranean Sea Belt was not common, and these plants were common in the cold water sea area.

North of the Pacific, North of the Atlantic, there are large amounts of kelp, some can even grow to over a hundred meters tall and go directly to the bottom of the ocean.

However, the Mediterranean Sea was a warm and tropical sea area. Seaweed and sea belts were quite few in number, and even if there were some, they would still be very low. Evil Doctor Huang and the others spent the entire afternoon searching for over fifty kilograms of fresh sea belts.

In an inconspicuous supply ship, four large iron pots began to emit steam. The coal furnace burned brilliantly, and the birth of the human MSG industry began today.
