Chapter 212: Convenience Food
"Caught a devil! Some are not easy to deal with! Huang Huamin was a little hesitant on the phone.
With the expansion of the territory, several major cities and counties have telephones, and even the vast majority of towns and villages are also on the telephone, which are cheap base goods. With ample supplies, the telephone line was also pulled directly to the front-line headquarters.
"What's so hard to deal with, didn't I say it? As long as he sets foot on the land of China, he will come as an aggressor, we don't welcome him here, just give him a gun! Meng Xiang was a little angry in his heart, Huang Huamin had been careful since the last time he had done things except for that incident, but he was also a lot more indecisive.
"That devil's situation is a bit special!" Meng Xiang's words and deeds became more and more powerful, and Huang Huamin said stubbornly.
"Special?"
"He surrendered on his own initiative! As soon as our men appeared, he surrendered with his gun and helped us find the valuables hidden in the baggage cart. ”
"The attitude is not bad!" Meng Xiang pinched his chin and muttered to himself.
"I'm going to be honest! I really haven't killed anyone, I used to be a monk, a monk of Tang Zhaoti Temple. In our temple, we worship the true patriarch, and we don't kill the people. Mimori Tuchen Tsunade said in fear.
"Smack!" Shu Liangnan, who interrogated him, slapped the table and reprimanded: "If you talk about that person again, I will directly pull you out and kill you!" You don't have a brain, remember, we are Chinese! At this time, although the central government also protested against it, it was still very common for this branch to shout, not only for himself, but also for some people in the country to care. In this regard, Meng Xiang specially hyped up the contempt of this branch in the patriotic education in the army. Now every soldier in the vanguard army knows that the title of Zhi Na is not good, according to what Meng Xiang said, when he hears someone shouting Zhi Na, just slap him in the face.
"No, no, I didn't mean to." Yushou Tuchengang hurriedly waved his hand and said, just now there was a soldier who scolded Zhina, but he was directly shot dead by the second lieutenant in front of him.
"Then you, a monk, how could you run away to be a soldier?" Shu Liangnan was quite polite to this imperial guard, this time he caught 5 prisoners, and after interrogation, several people heard about this nerd, not only did he not kill, but also persuaded others not to kill. became a soldier, and he still behaved like a monk. It's been half a year since I arrived in China, and there are no bad records. It's also an outlier.
"There was no one at home to cultivate, so I went back to plowing the land. Later, he was arranged by the village to serve in the military and came, Huaxia. "Mimori Tuchen Tsunade said busily.
"Farming? You? Shu Liangnan's mind came up with a scene of a monk working hard with a bright bald head under the fierce voice, and somehow he always wanted to laugh.
"Yes, when I saw the young leaves of the little green seedlings coming out of the soil and growing into crops until harvest, I felt as if I saw the cause and effect of life and death as the Buddha said. I saw the Buddha surname on them, and I went to farm. "The Chinese spoken by the Imperial Guardian Tuchentsuna is very authentic.
Shu Liangnan did not stop his self-talk, and wrote directly in his notebook: "Pay attention to the domestic economy, investigate the cultivation of farmland, and whether there is a shortage of labor!" Investigate the military service of religious figures in the country. ”
"It's so big in the world! There are such talents in the devil! Meng Xiang sighed, "Forget it, set aside a piece of land in our labor reform farm and let him farm!" See how he performs, and if appropriate, we can also have an additional promotional tool. ”
"Someone wants to meet you!" Zhou Bai also came to Meng Xiang.
"See me?" These diplomatic matters were generally handled by Zhou Bai and Tang Yaoshi. Generally, Meng Xiang does not come forward.
"That person is an old classmate of mine, who has some ability, and is now engaged in the import and export business of Huaxia food. He wants to see you, saying that he has something important to talk about. Zhou Bai said with a little embarrassment.
"Talk to me? Let's meet him! Seeing Zhou Bai's expression, Meng Xiang did not shirk and smiled slightly.
When Zhao Hongbo found his son on Pioneer Radio, he couldn't help but be annoyed to see that his daughter, who was studying at Central University, was also here. Seeing that the two of them were stubborn and refused to leave, they found their old classmate Zhou Bai in a fit of anger and wanted to approve a special article to relieve them of their jobs. was directly vetoed by Zhou Bai, so he instead proposed to see Meng Xiang. Zhou Bai couldn't grind him, so he had to ask Meng Xiang in the end.
"I want to negotiate a deal with the general!" After Zhao Hongbo exchanged a few words, he directly inserted the topic.
Meng Xiang looked at Zhou Bai, who was a little helpless next to him, and said in his heart that he would not be able to talk about business and deal with him. But he didn't say it, and said with a smile: "I want to hear it!" ”
Zhao Hongbo ignored Zhou Bai's roll of his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to join forces with the general to make the kind of fast food in your army bigger and buy it in other countries!" ”
"It's finally here!" Meng Xiang claims that the nutritious meals produced by the base are all military rations prepared by himself, because they are easy to carry and eat, so in addition to the taste is too simple, it is still very popular with soldiers. When it was time to relieve the people, it was also used a lot, and the children's lunches are now often provided, Meng Xiang has long been prepared for the attention of others, and sure enough, someone has already come to the door.
He didn't speak, just took a sip of his coffee. This was specially prepared for Zhao Hongbo, and Meng Xiangping said that he drank tea. Feeling the bitter mellow aroma on the tip of his tongue, Meng Xiang suddenly remembered something, it seems that there is no instant coffee at this time, right?
What he didn't know was that Nestlé had been researching for 8 years and launched instant coffee this year.
"I remember that Nestlé made a lot of money with instant coffee during World War II, and if we were to intervene here, wouldn't the dollars be rolling in? It seems that foreigners drink coffee every day, and this thing is as profitable as cigarettes. No, we have to let Rat Er check it, and take advantage of the fact that World War II has not started in full swing to occupy some supplies! ”
Zhao Hongbo saw that Meng Xiang was silent, and secretly admired the young general's qi cultivation kung fu in his heart, and said with a smile: "I see that your army has personnel from all over the world, but this water and soil are not easy to adapt to quickly, and the contemptible people also act as agents for some tea business, which can be provided at a discount." ”
Meng Xiang was also shocked when he heard this, he almost ignored this water and soil problem, because there was the support of nutrient solution in the army, so it replaced the role of tea, and he neglected this problem for a while. With the increase in the number of troops, the supply of nutritious meals and nutrient solutions is becoming more and more insufficient, so this problem of water and soil adaptation needs to be paid attention to in the next step.
"Whether this is done or not, let's not talk about it. I am glad to hear that your army fought against the Japanese and recovered the lost land, and I have asked someone to buy a million war bonds as a tribute! Zhao Hongbo also picked up the coffee and smiled.
This is the largest donation of the Vanguard to date, and although it is not called a donation, this war bond is also sold only on the basis of the reputation of the Vanguard as a non-political axe organization. If there is an accident, it will be a waste, just like a donation.
"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your generosity, defending the country and defending the land is what we should do!" Meng Xiang also said politely. People are supporting this with real money, so he can't help but say a few polite words.
Meng Xiang quickly passed through the types of nutritious meals in his mind.
The No. 1 high-calorie nutritious meal is an easy-to-carry military ration that resembles compressed biscuits, and the standard amount for a soldier is two large pieces, each with nine small pieces. According to Meng Xiang's amount of food, a large piece at a time is enough. This type of food is now the standard food for combatants.
The No. 2 high-nutrient nutritious meal is like mashed potatoes, which is a brown paste-like thing, which can provide nutrients such as vitamins and trace elements that people need for a day, and it is enough to supplement it comprehensively when eaten once a day. These are now mainly used for children's lunches.
Nutrient Solution No. 1 is a slightly viscous green bug-like liquid that contains the most nutrients and is the most comprehensive. This Meng Xiang has not been exposed, and even ordinary soldiers have not given it to them, and the clone warriors are wrapped up every day, especially the clone soldiers of the security group.
No. 2 nutrient solution is a mineral water-like liquid, which contains a variety of minerals, which can quickly replenish the lack of calcium, potassium, sodium and other salts and glucose after a large number of activities. The strange taste of half sweet and half salty made Meng Xiang unaccustomed to drinking it. But it was this kind of thing that temporarily replaced tea and eliminated the problem of soil and water adaptation in the vanguard army.
The logistics equipment center only provides these few items for the time being, according to Xiaohua's revealing tone, Meng Xiang judged that there seem to be other types, but the conditions are insufficient, and they can only produce these.
But none of these four things are suitable for cooperating with Zhao Hongbo, Meng Xiang himself is in the laboratory and handed over to others to study, and there has been no progress so far, and it is useless to give this Zhao Hongbo.
He said polite words in his mouth, but he kept thinking about it in his mind, thinking of convenience food, and then there were really a lot, and he didn't necessarily have to use nutritious meals.
"The cost of the kind of military food in the army is too high to promote. As for convenience food, we are working on a new food that is convenient and simple, but we can work with Mr. Zhao. Meng Xiang quickly locked on the instant noodles.
The first bag of instant noodles was sold 58 years after World War II by the man from Wanwan. In later generations, the annual sales volume has exceeded 100 billion packs. Such a large market is inseparable from its convenience.
Instant noodles are easy to process and easy to eat. This nutritious food is just right at this time, and no one is worried about overnutrition. It's just that those additives or something, they must be removed when they are sold in China. Selling it to foreigners can enhance the taste. Meng Xiang has naturally heard of so many well-known additives on the list in later generations, and when the time is right, he can also let people all over the world practice the magic of invincibility. When the time comes, you can also practice low fertility and contribute to the environmental protection of the earth.
Meng Xiang couldn't help but think of Sanlu Naiyan in Yueben, the last dog incident, although he was investigated, but he was not caught, except for finding out that he opened a dog meat shop and entered a group of dogs to bear some responsibility, everything else was proven harmless by people familiar with him nearby.
"I seem to import a lot of food! We must make the development of the Yamato national structure more reasonable in terms of diet. It's not a fault to have more brain-demented children, right? Spraying more contraceptives seems to make vegetables and fruits more attractive, right? It can't be sold cheaply yet. When the time comes, those who have the money to buy these are elites, and these elites must be made to no longer be able to retain their essence. ”
Meng Xiang's distraction was finally interrupted by Zhou Bai's coughing, but his distraction made Zhao Hongbo misunderstand that he was asking for better conditions.
"I don't know, what does the general say about convenience food?" Zhao Hongbo also coughed lowly.
Meng Xiang roughly explained the situation of instant noodles.
"This is a bit like Yifu noodles?" The well-informed Zhao Hongbo knew that this was similar to Yifu noodles as soon as he heard it.
Meng Xiang doesn't know about this Yifu noodles, but the difference between instant noodles and Yifu noodles is its commercialization and convenient special surname. After Meng Xiang's general explanation, Zhao Hongbo keenly grasped the business opportunities contained in it.
"All you need is a cup of hot water to be able to eat and eat a hot meal, which is definitely promising. With a large piece of beef, it can be sold to Europe and the United States! Zhao Hongbo first thought of serving a large piece of beef, which made the instant noodles that didn't see a little shredded beef but shouted braised beef noodles in later generations.
Fresh things always start to make huge profits, and Zhao Hongbo's positioning is somewhat high-end, which will not affect the emergence of low-end products in the future. In terms of Huaxia's production capacity at this time, it is more cost-effective to position it higher.
"We jointly invested, divided shares to build a production plant, hired a professional manager to participate in the management, I was responsible for sales, and the general could provide technology." Zhao Hongbo doesn't want Meng Xiang to interfere in production management, those official offices can still eat well in the local area by virtue of their relationships, but once they go out, they will inevitably lose. However, there are not many successful examples of government-government cooperation. So he brought up the matter of hiring a professional manager.
"Okay, we don't participate in management, we only pay dividends and supervise accounts!" Meng Xiang readily agreed. He doesn't have so much energy to care about these things, and he doesn't expect this dividend, the revival of the national industry means an increase in taxes, which is the big one.
"Good!" As soon as Zhao Hongbo heard it, he knew that what his old classmate said was true, this General Meng was a person who was quick to do practical things, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Please also ask the general to name this processing plant!" ”
Meng Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it Huaqing!" I couldn't help but secretly say proudly, the little devil's Yue Qing stood aside first, and the first brand of instant noodles is now Huaxia's Huaqing brand. Although this brand is not very good in later generations and is often on the black list, in this life, he wants to make this name the world's largest brand.
