Due to the stagnation of social development in this world, not much has changed in the past hundred years, so even if such a huge change occurs now, it is still difficult for everyone's imagination to fly, and it is still limited to a small range.

“More than just steam trains.

"When the businessman said this, he hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind under the curious gazes of the two people opposite him, and continued, "Actually, the printing press with the steam engine as the core power is about to be put into use.

" Verne was shocked. What on earth was going on in the Garden of Eden when he was in seclusion? Stendhal was also surprised: "It wasn't mentioned in this leaflet. How did you know? The businessman coughed and said sheepishly: "That's it... aren't they developing steam engines downstairs?" Later, I don’t know what happened, but I came to our chamber of commerce on the second floor with my own ideas to discuss sponsorship and investment... I invested in the improvement of printing presses, and I felt that this was very promising.

"Really..." "Yes, for example, this newspaper "I Go, I Go", when I was in the previous city, the quantity I sold would be controlled within a certain range, because although this newspaper has only published a few issues, it is very popular. But the price was beyond imagination. No matter how many copies I took, there was never enough to sell.

If I sell out all the tickets in the first cities, and I’m not sure how many other people took to last, then wouldn’t there be no new serials in cities far away from the Garden of Eden? Stendhal nodded deeply: "Yes, it's really unbearable for this kind of newspaper to be cut off for one issue."

"The businessman shrugged: "So, I at least make sure that the last city I arrive in has a copy, so that they can borrow it from each other and not interrupt the serialization... We have all told the people at the printing house, hoping that she will Print more, but she said that the printing machine can only print so many copies every day, and she was very embarrassed, so I wanted to invest in a printing machine even if it was to prevent interruptions for people in remote areas.

" Verne was moved by him: "You are so kind.

"Hahaha, no, it's because investing in this will definitely pay off."

"The businessman said frankly, "Looking at the good rapport with you, I have some hidden products here. Do you want to know about them? "...What else needs to be hidden?" "Well, some Edens are popular, but out-of-town churches may have something to say about it."

"Chapter 7 and 8: The Angel Heard the Name. Under the curious gazes of Stendhal and Verne, the businessman took out a... jar of unknown material.

"What is this?" Looking at the can, Verne couldn't guess what was inside even with his imagination.

The businessman coughed: "The canned bacon...according to the founder, it's his grandma's secret recipe. I've tasted it and it's really delicious.

Stendhal was puzzled: "Why should it be kept here?" "Because the bacon here can be eaten directly and does not need to be processed. This is the only way to extend the edible time."

The point is it's delicious...but the portion is too small.

"The person who made the canned bacon was David Carnegie, the founder of their Eden Chamber of Commerce. The first group of people to try the canned meat were members of their chamber of commerce. Everyone was full of praise and hoped to eat bacon like this on the road. .

It's a pity that it takes more than a month to make this bacon. This batch of canned meat was made because Carnegie couldn't think of any canned food for a while. Wang Jian used a batch that his grandmother had just smoked for experimentation, so the quantity was really not large. , considering his relationship with Carnegie, he only got 5 cans.

As for selling canned food... it will be at least next month. Now the caravan can't even eat enough for itself. It's just a taste of something new.

Before he left, he also visited Grandma Carnegie, who was also a relative of his. The last time he went, the old lady looked as if she might die at any moment. However, when he went this time, he saw that the old lady was recruiting apprentices and workers. Smoking meat together, the king must be in such a hot mood that he still doesn't forget to call the old sisters to play mahjong... It seems that it won't be a problem for him to live for a few more years.

Verne and Stendhal took out the can openers and opened the cans directly in front of them. The faint salty aroma made Verne, who had just finished eating, couldn't help but salivate.

Different from what he imagined as Wang Baba's bacon, the bacon in this can has indeed been processed and cut into thin slices. It looks soft in texture, with clear distinction between lean and fat meat. The fat on the surface reflects light and exudes a charming aroma. .

"I do not understand.

Stendhal came back to his senses from the aroma of the secret bacon and expressed his doubts frankly, "Is the canned food processed in advance?" Give me raw bacon, and I can fry or cook it. You don’t need to limit yourself to this method. If it is just to save trouble, it is natural that the church will not agree... Let’s talk about why the church in the Garden of Eden did this. Agreed, it's quite strange.

Verne stared at the can and said, "I probably understand."

This is not only to save trouble, but also to save time.

" Just like when he was in seclusion to catch up on work, he was still young and had no time to eat, let alone cooking. He didn't have a wife to help him cook, and the hotel was quite far from his home (there was no other place to provide it except the hotel). dinner), and he couldn't eat bread for more than a month, so he could only ask the kind-hearted neighbor's wife to make more for him and leave it at his door... In this case, even if he gave the neighbor money, Verne would feel Sorry, if he could have done it himself, he would have done it himself.

Canned food, a particularly convenient food that can be eaten once opened, feels like it was tailor-made for people like Verne.

Especially in this world (except for the people in the Garden of Eden), there are no requirements for the taste and variety of food. There is no such thing as getting tired of eating - rather, he will not complain when he is tired of eating, and will continue to eat - in this case, canned food It is simply the food of dreams.

“Yes, it can save time and ensure the storage environment.

"The businessman shrugged, "Although the shelf life of bacon itself is quite long, we are on the road for a long time, and the climate changes, so the bacon may become bad or deteriorate in advance, and not every time we stop, there will be a stop and a stop. Sometimes it is inconvenient to light a fire by ourselves in a hotel. This bacon can really saved us. As for the church..." The Chamber of Commerce deliberately gave it a try, and then said: "The Sage said that he persuaded the church so that we don't have to worry. .

Stendhal understood something after hearing this: "Is he the sage who opened this steam seminar?" " "Yes.

"The people in the caravan said proudly, "Our great sage in the Garden of Eden, it is said that the church never responded to any of his proposals...ah, that's too bad.

"The businessman showed a regretful expression.

Verne asked worriedly: "What's wrong?" "The sage hopes that we will not mention him often when we are abroad..." Stendhal said nonchalantly: "Because you don't care about fame and fortune? We all believe that the great sage must be Noble and noble people, don't worry, you have already said it to this extent, and it won't make any difference if you say a few more words.

" "Too.

"The businessman comforted himself, "Anyway, the sage only said 'try not to mention it' and 'leave it less' but didn't say not to mention it.

"If Lucifer knew that his euphemistic words were understood in this way, he would probably be so angry that he would drink two more cups of milk tea.

Verne was interested in this great sage.

It would be fine if it was just a steam train, but since the businessman in front of him has begun to invest in steam-powered printing presses, the application of steam engines in other fields has also been approved by the church. Verne could even imagine the invasion of steam engines into the textile industry and iron-making. Karma, invading some other field, and then resulting in redundant manpower... Is the church in the Garden of Eden crazy?
