Food King [Interstellar]

Short opened an acorn processing plant in Aurora, which had to be approved by relevant government departments, and did not attract much attention at first.For so many years, except for a few major food families, no one has thought about the food industry. Without ingredients, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. I never thought that there would be people other than them working in the food industry, otherwise the approval of the acorn processing plant would not have been so smooth.

Of course, the Richard family knew something about it. After all, Short still bought butter from them, but acorn processing was a non-staple food, not a staple food, and the raw materials did not come from the agricultural planet, so they didn't care much.

It wasn't until the cream acorn launched by Short's family became popular that several major food families realized that Short is not just doing TV shows now, but is really going to share their cake.However, Short is not easy to mess with, and he has not extended his hand to the agricultural planet. They have nothing to do with him. Several food families are preparing to join forces and intend to use the price siege to wipe out the Short family.

The fastest responder was Baker Company. They smelled huge benefits from it, and the processing plant was opened in a hurry.When Jiang Tang learned that Baker was going to open a factory, he knew that a price war was inevitable. He reminded the factory to hurry up and stock up on acorns. The siege is in its infancy.

Just when they were buying acorns in large quantities, Baker Company also took action. Before the factory was built, they began to snap up acorns frantically.What's even worse is that the wealthy Baker Company also started to drive up prices, doubling the price of raw materials for acorns.

Fortunately, they have been buying acorns since Jiang Tang was still in Aurora. Because the acorns are not bad, they can accept as many acorns as they can. The acorns they have hoarded are enough for a year's production.Although there is no shortage of raw materials, Baker's doing so angered Howard Short, who threatened to fight Baker to the end.

After Jiang Tang heard about this, he suggested to him: "If Baker is willing to drive up the price, let him do so. Let's stay put and buy at the original price. We can pay as much as we can. Baker will definitely hoard a large amount of high-priced acorn raw materials. After the finished product, it must be more expensive than ours, do you think people will buy them?"

Howard said: "Our production is too busy, and the big cake in the market will still be divided by them."

Jiang Tang said: "Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, I will announce the method of processing acorns. People can process acorns at home. Can Baker's acorns be sold?"

Howard said: "It sounds like a scam to the Bakers, but everyone knows how to make acorns. Can our own acorns be sold?"

Jiang Tang said: "Everyone doesn't have cream and recipes, so they can only make original acorns. If you want to eat cream flavor, you will definitely buy ours. Even if Aurora is not sold well, we can still ship it to sell elsewhere."

Howard accepted Jiang Tang's proposal: "That's it, I'll listen to you."

The price of Baker’s acorns has almost caught up with the price of Short’s finished products. When Baker’s finished acorns are on the market, their price is 50% higher than that of Short’s, but the profit is not as good as that of Short’s. House's.The taste of the acorn cream produced by Baker Company was far worse than that developed by Jiang Tang. It was expensive and tasteless, and almost no one cared about it for a while.Baker's first shot failed, and the acorns were unsalable in Aurora, so they had to sell them on other planets. However, acorns are just snacks. If they taste good, they are more expensive, and rich people are willing to buy them, but the price Expensive, bad taste, this is very cheating, people will suffer at most once, and will never buy it again, so it is still unsalable on other planets.

Howard triumphantly fed back the information to Jiang Tang: "The Baker family actually sent someone to steal the formula from us. Fortunately, I was prepared for it. Now let's see how they can get down."

Baker's company got off to a bad start, but it suppressed several other food companies that were ready to move. Impulse is the devil. Baker's company didn't even pass the quality of its products, so it hoarded goods and opened factories. Isn't this a dead end?However, the Baker Company has plenty of money, and they are not afraid of losing money. A small processing factory can still afford to lose money.It's just that in this way, they didn't dare to stock up anymore, and the prices of raw materials that he had driven up fell again.

The Short family took the opportunity to open a branch factory. If there was not enough cream, they made the original flavor. The production method was also taught by Jiang Tang. Although the original flavor is not as sweet as butter, it has the crispness of acorn itself, and the price is cheaper than butter, and it is also very popular. welcome.The Baker Company sees that the creamy flavor can’t make the taste of the Short’s. The original flavor is always okay, but the processing method is different. It’s always a little worse than the Short’s, and it’s not as good as the Short’s. .The first siege of the food family ended in failure.

At this time, Jiang Tang had already arrived at Spanda Star, and they didn't stay anywhere else, and went straight to Spanda Star, because Luo Xun wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and push Spanda's potatoes and sweet potatoes out as soon as possible.

Seen from space, the appearance of Spanda is very similar to that of Mars, and most of the area is red. It is hard for Jiang Tang to imagine that such a planet can still be inhabited.It is true that Spanda can live, but there are not many places suitable for human habitation. This planet is very arid and lacks water. Humans mainly live along the banks of the largest river in Spanda, the Clara River, and the rest are scattered in various mining areas. Today These mining areas have basically ceased production and were abandoned. People in the original mining areas began to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes under the guidance of the revolutionary military government. These two crops are drought-tolerant and have high yields. There is a surplus.

The arrival of the Shadow on Spanda Star was a big event. The local media had already received the news, and they were waiting at the space station for interviews, and it was live news.As soon as Jiang Tang showed up, he received warm welcome and attention.He is now a household name in Spanda, because he has improved people's living standards, he can be described as a great savior, and people regard him as an angel.

Before Jiang Tang taught everyone cooking skills, the people in Spanda mainly lived on boiled potatoes and boiled sweet potatoes. No one knew that there were so many ways to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes.Later, Jiang Tang specially gave several lessons on how to cook potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the people in Spanda realized the beauty of food, and felt that life was much more fun.

Jiang Tang felt the enthusiasm of the Spanda people. The billboards on the space station were all screenshots of Jiang Tang’s video, and even the projection on the wall of the coordinate building was his. In the square in the city center, Jiang Tang was extremely embarrassed by this, but he was also inexplicably moved.

The first stop they arrived in Spanda was Maggie City on the banks of the Clara River, the capital and largest city of Spanda.The hotel is located on the edge of the Clara River. This season is the dry season. The water level of the Clara River is very low. The river is crystal clear and flowing, like a quiet girl.Jiang Tang leaned against the window of the hotel and looked at the scenery outside. Most of the leaves of the plants here were red or purple in color, and they looked warm. Occasionally, he saw a clump of green plants, which made his eyes feel cool.

Luo Xun came over: "Let's go eat."

Jiang Tang said without looking back: "Green plants can also be planted here, why not grow more? People in Spanda are very irritable and enthusiastic. I think it has something to do with the environment here. Red is easy to make people feel high."

Rosen said: "The soil here is not suitable for green, and the plants are rich in anthocyanins, so the colors are all reddish."

"Aren't potatoes and sweet potatoes green? They can be used to green cities." Jiang Tang suggested.

Luo Xun said with a smile: "After they adapt to the environment here, the color gradually turns red or purple."

Jiang Tang: "..."

Luo Xun touched his head: "Let's go eat."

Jiang Tang heaved a sigh of relief, this hotel finally looks like a regular hotel, at least it has a restaurant.Jiang Tang and Luo Xun went to the restaurant downstairs to have dinner. When the menu was delivered, Jiang Tang opened it and couldn't help being overjoyed. All the dishes on it were taught by himself, including potato cakes, mashed potatoes, French fries, and stews. Potato cubes, fried potato shreds, potato and rice splits, sweet potato cakes, shredded sweet potatoes, etc. Jiang Tang said, "Is that all?"

The waiter said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Jiang, you taught us to do these." When he realized that he was going to serve Jiang Tang, he was so excited that he almost knelt down.

Jiang Tang mourned for the poor Spanda people for three seconds. Although he is not a meat-loving person, it is too pitiful for him to be a vegetarian like this, and there are no vegetables. He has to find a way to solve the problem for everyone. .He ordered a few at random, at least he can eat here, without having to eat the molecular set meal, and he also wants to taste the level of the students he teaches.

The waiter took the menu and left. Jiang Tang looked at the Clara River outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and asked Luo Xun, "Is the Clara River polluted?"

Luo Xun shook his head: "No, the Clara River is the source of drinking water for Spanda, and pollution is strictly prohibited."

Jiang Tang stroked his chin: "Then there should be fish and shrimp in the river, why don't you catch some and eat them?"

"Ask Danny if you can eat it," said Rosen.

Daniel came over with a yawn: "Ask me what?"

Jiang Tang turned his head and saw Daniel. He was wearing hip-hop style clothes, a black loose T-shirt, a pair of baggy skateboard pants, and a pair of sneakers on his feet. He looked like a teenager. Di was wearing a cool leather jacket, which was completely different from his usual style of clothing. It looked a bit cool, but also a bit evil. Looking at their outfits, they seemed to be going out: "Where are you going?"

Daniel sat down next to Jiang Tang in a big way, and hooked his shoulders: "I've been on the spaceship for two or three months, and I'm almost suffocating. I want to relax for a while. Do you want to go?"

Jiang Tang blinked: "Where are you going to relax? I want to go fishing."

Daniel snapped his fingers: "Good fishing, come back and drink fish soup."

Luo Xun said: "Danny, don't think too much about playing, hurry up and find something to eat. You can't let everyone eat only potatoes and sweet potatoes, which is easy to cause nutritional imbalance."

Daniel said: "No problem, I'm covered, but I'll take half a day off today and start working tomorrow. Tang Tang, come play with me this afternoon, surf the sand, are you interested?"

Jiang Tang glanced at Luo Xun: "Okay, I'll go, Luo Xun, are you going?"

Rosen said, "Well, I can't do it this afternoon. I have to see the person in charge of Spanda."

Jiang Tang was a little disappointed: "Then I'll go play with Daniel and experience the local customs."

"Okay, you guys have fun and be safe," said Rosen.

During the meal, the chef came to serve Jiang Tang in person and asked Jiang Tang for his opinion. Jiang Tang gave him some pointers, and the other party thanked him gratefully.

Luo Xun and Daniel couldn't stop laughing, and Jiang Tang finished the potato and sweet potato meal with mixed flavors. It's not easy to be a star.After the meal, several people split up and acted separately. Jiang Tang followed Daniel and Wendi to get on a desert off-road vehicle. The natural environment of Spanda was not generally harsh. The rocky mountains, across the mountains, less than 100 kilometers away from the city, is the desert.

It's not an endless flat desert, but an undulating sandy land. This kind of terrain is the most suitable for desert surfing, and sometimes you don't even need a car to assist you.Jiang Tang looked at the red sand all over the sky and said, "Is there a serious sandstorm in Maji City?"

Daniel was a little surprised and said: "It should be about the same. Didn't you say that you were planting grass for sand control in the past two years, and all the grass is planted in this area. Why don't you see a single grass now, just talking casually?"

Wendi was driving in front wearing sunglasses, and said, "I don't understand, why don't you look online."

Jiang Tang has already turned on his light brain, and searched Spanda Maji City for sand control and planting grass, and there are quite a lot of information. He looked at it for a while and said: "The plant has been planted, but it seems to be eaten by something. It's called a red gerbil. My God, what a fat one!"
