"Come on, come on, the noodles are ready."
After a while, the instant noodles were cooked. There were vegetables and meat, and a few eggs bought from fellow villagers. The noodles were still very fragrant.
Instant noodles still taste very good, especially the aroma after being fried.
Even in later generations, when all kinds of takeaways were very developed, there was still a market for instant noodles.
In addition to convenient food that can be carried on various long-distance buses, some people also like this kind of food at home.
Yu Tu and the others are all veterans and do not have much requirements for food.
But when it comes to instant noodles, they still show their love.
Although I don’t have much requirements for food, if there is delicious food, I won’t dislike it, right?
"Boss, would you like a bowl too?" Yu Tu filled a bowl of instant noodles, brought it over and handed it to Su He.
Su He has been thinking that vegetable transportation seems to be a problem for the time being.
"The problem of cold chain is not that easy. This requires cooperation with the railway station. However, the cold chain equipment is not cheap. And it consumes a lot of energy every time. At present, there is probably no way."
The cold chain is a very important link. For the time being, Su He and others are using saltpeter to make ice to solve this problem.
This problem can still be solved very well in your own truck.
Here, a lot of water is needed.
Saltpeter ice making uses the property of saltpeter to absorb heat when it comes into contact with water, turning water into ice to achieve the purpose of preservation.
In the process, the saltpeter absorbs heat, turning the water into ice.
Then Su He and others placed ice cubes in the back of the truck that was sealed as much as possible to preserve the seafood.
But on a train, water is a big problem.
As for the later recovery of saltpeter, it is necessary to expose the solution in which the saltpeter is dissolved to recover the saltpeter.
In this regard, as long as you bring more saltpeter, you can deal with it at the end.
But the problem is that this will also take up a lot of area.
If it was in Bishui City, of course it wouldn't be a problem.
In southern Fujian, the problem is not big, after all, the distance is there.
But coming to the Magic City, this is a big problem.
What's more, there isn't that much space for him to store on the train.
With that area, wouldn't it be better to transport more goods?
This train carriage rental is not cheap.
"We still need to buy more trucks to form our own transportation team. In addition, those trucks also need to be modified. It would be better if we can purchase cold chain equipment and transform them into cold chain transport vehicles."
Su He was still thinking when Yu Tu's voice suddenly came to his ears. He came back to his senses, turned his head and saw a large bowl in Yu Tu's hand.
The bowl was still steaming, with yellow and orange noodles mixed with some vegetables and meat, as well as a large poached egg.
This is giving yourself the best.
"Oh, okay. Give it to me."
Su He didn't refuse. There was nothing to refuse.
If he refuses, Yu Tu and others will not accept it. In Yu Tu's simple thinking, although there is no distinction between superior and inferior, there is always a distinction between superior and inferior.
Years of military service have allowed them to maintain good discipline.
From the perspective of Yu Tu and others, Su He is their superior and needs to be respected.
Su He ate better. From the perspective of Yu Tu and others, this was a normal thing.
If Su He refused to eat, they might still wonder if they had done something wrong.
And I must be feeling unhappy, and I won’t eat the good ones.
This is a way for Yu Tu and others to express their feelings.
Su He took it directly and started eating.
Seeing this scene, Yu Tu and the others all smiled.
Although this overly young boy is not very old, he is very sophisticated in how he handles things.
There are always some novel but useful ideas in my head.
In Bishui City, Su He developed very well and solved the employment problem for many of his comrades.
And now, Su He has begun to develop towards the Magic City, and it is unknown how many jobs will be provided in the future.
In their army, there are many comrades in Modu.
There is also a farm in Yuzhang that is also under preparation.
The future development of Boss will only get bigger and stronger!
Here, Su He was eating instant noodles and still thinking about things.
"Well, this noodle tastes really good. No wonder so many otakus like to buy this thing, store it, and eat it slowly."
"Actually, there were many applications of cold chain in ancient Chinese society. For example, Du Mu mentioned this in a famous poem. When a concubine rides on the red dust, she laughs, and no one knows that it is a lychee. Here, Cold chain processing has been applied. Otherwise, when transporting fruits like lychees from Lingnan to the capital, even if eight hundred miles of fast horses are used, people and horses are changed at each post station. With the strength of the horses, traveling day and night, the taste of lychees will not be the same when they arrive in the capital. It will get worse.”
Su He thought a lot. The country had a lot of cold chain development history in ancient times.
By the Ming Dynasty, some people were delivering shad in six days, using refrigeration technology. After traveling three thousand miles to Chang'an, the fish was still "snow-cold". This was probably the earliest cold chain transportation in the world.
"Selling popsicles."
Su He looked up and saw a man pushing a bicycle passing by. Behind the bicycle, there was a box with the word "popsicle" written on the back.
"This is also a type of cold chain."
Su He's heart moved: "Actually, refrigeration equipment is not difficult to make. As long as there are some corresponding machinery, it is actually very easy to process."
The technological content of refrigerators, etc. is actually not too high.
As a mechanical engineer, there was no way he could build a refrigerator out of thin air.
But if you can cooperate with some factories in Shanghai and want to build a cold chain, no, if it's just a refrigerated warehouse, etc., it's actually not that difficult.
"Well, and, maybe, try making popsicles."
The entry barriers to this industry are low, but the profits are high.
"Yu Tu, take the money and buy those popsicles. Give everyone one to eat, and also give one to the children in the village. Children who come here will receive one."
He will stay in the village for a while, and if possible, he plans to buy a piece of land here.
Not only as a farm, but also as a branch of a company.
In this area, the Magic City will develop in the future, and it can be considered a relatively prosperous area.
Didn't anyone say that if you could go back to the past, you would just go to a first-tier city in China and buy a few square meters of land. In the future, I just need to sit back and wait for the land price to be promoted. I don’t need to work hard for the rest of my life. I just need to sit back and win, right?
This magical city is second to none among the first-tier cities in the country.
Under such circumstances, establishing a good relationship with the village is a must.
Some villagers came to buy things before and gave some discounts based on this idea.
This brings some benefits to the children in the village, as well.
The adults in the family must value their children very much. If you give your children good things, the adults in the family will naturally remember your good deeds.
Yu Tu went over and bought a large box of popsicles for only a few dollars.
Yu Tu gave one to each of his comrades, and gave another one to Su He.
Su He waved his hand and refused. He didn't want to eat these popsicles.
Speaking of which, the popsicles I bought in front of me are actually tap water with some saccharin added and then frozen into ice cubes.
I just made some shapes and molded them into a mold to look like a popsicle.
Added a little more coloring to make the popsicles look nice.
People of this era may find it very strange.
But in later generations, what kind of ice cream has Su He not eaten?
He has tried various international brands as well as his own DIY works.
He doesn't like popsicles frozen in tap water.
"You can eat it yourself, I don't like it."
Waving his hand, Su He rejected the popsicle.
When Yu Tu saw this, he knew that Su He really didn't like it and didn't insist.
He turned around and gave the popsicle to a comrade.
"Um, I've already eaten one, do you still want to eat?"
"You can eat what is given to you. I'm careful about the children in this village. They can't finish these popsicles. And you can't eat too much ice."
"Then you will give it to me?"
"Are you going to eat it or not?"
"eat."
"Isn't this the end?"
Yu Tu went out and after a while, he saw several children in the village standing in the distance looking at this side.
The desire shown on that face can be easily seen even by people who don't know how to read words and expressions.
He waved, and the child came over with a piece of snot hanging from his nose.
In this regard, they are no different from children in the countryside.
"Well, isn't this Rainbow Village the countryside of Magic City? Although it is a big place, it is actually a countryside."
Yu Tu thought in his heart and smiled: "In this way, brothers will start working starting tomorrow. How about you help with some small things and I treat you to some popsicles?"
Su He raised his head, but he didn't expect Yu Tu to have thought of this.
Of course, the benefits cannot be taken away casually. The children must be allowed to do something within their capabilities.
If you want to get something, you have to pay for it, and you can't get something for nothing.
This is something Su He has always believed in, and it naturally affects Yu Tu and the others.
Although Yu Tu and the others felt that it was only two cents for a popsicle, it was still an equal exchange.
Although, they probably don't need the kids to do anything.
Su He was moved in his heart: "Perhaps we can start a publicity plan. In the future, these children will be the best publicists."
He also had no idea of using child labor. He would not let these children sell newspapers.
What kind of newspaper boy?
unnecessary.
It's just to convey some news or something. In this regard, running errands is not tiring, and it can also exercise the children.
These villagers in Rainbow Village should not care.
He had several ideas just now, but unfortunately, his understanding of the Magic City only came from some memories in his mind.
"They are still some memories of later generations, things have changed a long time ago. It seems that if you want to go around, you must at least see the current situation of the magic city. You should be able to get a rough understanding of this by buying a map. Next, it’s just a matter of running around.”
If Su He was looking for a house and a store in the Magic City, he couldn't just blindly buy the store just by clapping his hands, right?
"Starting tomorrow, I will run around. However, it seems that it cannot be completed in a short time. I have to go back, and Yuzhang also needs some time. In August, I will go to Beijing in advance. In addition to the Academy of Sciences, I We also need to lay the groundwork for Jiuding Restaurant to enter the capital."
All of a sudden, Su He felt that time could not wait for us.
Although there are some twists and turns here, fortunately everything seems to have been resolved and the future is still bright.
In Bishui City, Jiuding Restaurant has experienced its highest customer flow in a day.
At noon, everyone might eat something casually in the canteen. In the evening, after get off work, many people are willing to go out to a restaurant.
"Hey, Lao Wang, are you here too?"
"Yes, Lao Li, aren't you here too?"
"I can't help it. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like playing chess. Besides, I just have a good mouth."
"Don't tell me, although the food in this Jiuding restaurant is a little more expensive, it is made from real ingredients and tastes really good. I won't eat it for a few days, I thought to myself."
"Let's go in together and share a table?"
"Okay, let's share a table with a few old guys and order a pot of tea together. It tastes good. There's no charge for refills."
Friends who like tea may feel that if the tea is steeped too much, it will become tasteless.
But as long as you are not the kind who is very particular about tea, it is actually okay for several people to drink a pot of tea.
The taste of tea does not fade so easily.
This scene happened at the main store and branches of Jiuding Restaurant, and business was extremely good.
When Lao Wang went to check out, he said to the store manager Ye Chengbo: "When will you open a store in the north of the city? I have to come from the north of the city every time, and the distance is a bit far."
After a pause, Lao Wang added: "Of course, I have nothing to do anyway, so I can just walk over here slowly, but there are still many old customers in the north of the city."
Jiuding Restaurant attaches great importance to these loyal old customers.
Although their daily consumption may not be much, the important thing is to keep the water flowing.
People have a herd mentality. When they see that the business in the store is good, they will think that if so many people come in, it must taste good. Otherwise, why don’t we eat there too?
These old customers play such a good publicity role.
Ye Chengbo has now tempered himself, and he is no longer the young man who was a little worried and scared before, and did not dare to set up a stall.
Facing Lao Wang, Ye Chengbo nodded with a smile: "Yes, we have all considered it. We have already identified stores in the north of the city and bought them all. But don't we need to renovate? And then we have to scatter Wei, it will probably open in the second half of the year. Just wait."
After receiving the accurate news, Lao Wang immediately became excited: "That's a good relationship. We old guys all like to eat your snacks. When a branch opens in the north of the city, we won't have to travel so far. But the branch over there , are there any new features?”
The branch in Qiu Shui Lane made tofu dishes when it opened, and it is still very popular now.
The main store has also prepared these tofu dishes, which Lao Wang also likes to eat.
"There must be this. However, we'll keep it a secret for now. Just wait and eat."
