"Betty, open your mouth..."
Vera fork with a blue frost fruit, mouth coax little daughter Betty, trying to let aunt cold bite.
Bluefrost fruit is a kind of exotic fruit. Its skin is blue, and its flesh is soft and juicy. It has a sweet taste. It is similar to blueberries on earth, but its size is far larger than the latter. One blueberry is worth five blueberries, which is extremely in line with the characteristics of the exotic world.
Harvest month is the mature season of blue frost fruit. This kind of fruit can be seen everywhere in the shrubbery. You can easily pick a basket full of blue frost fruit by walking around in the forest with a basket.
In previous years, this period is the happiest time for children, because they can''t eat enough blue frost fruit, and it''s also a rare time for civilians to have enough in a year.
But this year, the children of Haichao collar are generally dismissive of lanshuangguo. At the moment, Betty''s performance is typical.
In the face of the blue frost fruit stretching to her mouth, xiaoguliang put her head hard and refused to open her mouth. A pair of big black eyes just stare at the charcoal roasted red head duck.
Why eat fruit when you have meat?
"Betty, listen to mom!"
Willa''s voice with a trace of annoyance, almost will be blue frost fruit poke to the little daughter''s face.
However, Betty is as stubborn as her mother. She not only ignores her mother''s words, but also purses her mouth more tightly.
Seeing his little daughter''s resistance, his wife began to get angry. Frederick quickly made a comeback:
"well, honey, Betty won''t eat if she doesn''t eat. There are so many dishes today, it doesn''t matter if she eats more meat..."
Vera glared at her husband. She took back her fork and no longer forced her little daughter to eat blueberry. Then she reached out and touched her daughter Betty''s chubby face and said with some worry:
"look what Betty has become fat? How can she get married if she grows fat in the future? "
"My God, Betty is just three years old!" Frederick said, "my dear, are you worried that it''s too early..."
As soon as Vera raised her eyebrows, she continued to retort:
"the reason why I do this is for Betty''s health. I heard a civil servant from the Department of civil affairs say that the Lord once said that we must match food reasonably and pay attention to nutrition Er Nutrition balance.... "
"The LORD said that you should pay attention to the combination of thickness and fineness, not white bread baked with old flour, but also some black bread..."
"The combination of meat and vegetable is also very important. Don''t always eat meat. Usually, you must eat more vegetables and fruits. If you only eat meat and don''t eat other foods, you will easily get sick..."
"The Lord also said that you can''t eat too much. It''s good for your health..."
Frederick''s face was "are you teasing me?" he asked suspiciously:
"is it true or not? Isn''t it true that the more meat you eat, the stronger your body will be? Is starvation good for your health? "
Willa''s words simply overturned his consistent cognition.
If these words had not come from the revered Lord, Frederick would have said, "this is complete nonsense.".
For thousands of years, people from all over the world have accepted the idea that "the more meat you eat, the stronger your body will be.".
What the civilians see in their eyes and hear in their ears are the facts that "meat eaters grow tall, strong and live longer", or "civilians who often starve grow thin and small and die earlier". They have never heard of cases of "eating meat and eating ill" or "starving and living longer".
(by the way, nomadic people don''t eat meat every day. For them, livestock is precious property and can''t be eaten every day. Food and dairy products are the most common food)
not only people from other countries, but also people on the earth have always thought so for quite a long time.
However, we can not say that this is a wrong idea. On the contrary, in the social environment at that time, this is indeed a correct cognition.
However, after the rise of modern agriculture, which is based on modern industry and modern science and technology, the great miracle of "food surplus can be wasted" has appeared for the first time in the human world since the beginning of the world.
At this time, "the more meat you eat, the more problems you have" and "you live a long life by starvation" have become correct concepts.
From an evolutionary perspective, hunger is the norm in the long evolutionary history of millions of years.
Full?
None of them exist.
Most people can''t eat a full meal all the year round, and most of the time they cry hungry with their belly in their arms.
As a result, year after year of hunger, the human body has gradually become accustomed to the company of hunger.
Fat, the tissue that stores energy, is a special cell evolved to fight hunger. The strategy of "building walls high and accumulating food widely" is engraved in everyone''s genes.
If not considering the famine in the future, who is willing to hang a pile of cumbersome fat on his body? Do you tried?
Why are women born with thicker fat layers than men? Isn''t it because they need to breed and store more energy?Similarly, every organ in the human body has an extraordinary ability to adapt to hunger. If you don''t have enough to eat for a long time, it''s just malnutrition at most. There won''t be any serious problems.
Well, what if, on the other hand, they are full for a long time?
It''s going to be a big problem!
Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, fatty liver, diabetes, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, kidney disease, infertility and so on, all kinds of unexpected problems have come, and other diseases derived from them are more.
If the history of human evolution since the appearance of Homo sapiens is condensed into one day, the time for human to eat is only one second.
In other words, "long term satiety" is an anomaly.
Your body doesn''t know how to face the "full meal" situation. It has no time to evolve a set of mechanism to deal with "over nutrition", so problems occur frequently.
There is a saying that "starvation is the only way to live a long life". To some extent, this is a wise saying.
Once popular on the Internet "people can eat about 9 tons of food in their life, who eats first will die first". This is not a joke.
Dieting is the best way to keep fit. It costs less, and the effect is very good. You can''t find a better way than it.
(dear readers, seeing this, don''t you intend to have a try?)
……
, however, as Renault of the crosses, knows that "dieting is the truth of immortality, and the only way to live a long life" is Frederick, a native born woodlouse.
So Frederick instinctively wanted to question what his wife heard from the civil servant.
But as soon as he saw Willa''s slightly raised belly, he honestly closed his mouth.
Come on, it''s stupid to reason with a woman. It''s stupid to reason with a pregnant woman
After talking about the cultivation knowledge, Vera points the finger at her little daughter.
"Hey, Betty, you''ve eaten enough meat today. I think you need some fruit..."
See once again poke to the mouth of the flesh, sister-in-law can not help but toot up the mouth, she looked at her father for help, but only got a helpless look.
The little girl opened her mouth reluctantly and bit the blueberry.
Vera watched her little daughter put the flesh in her mouth, and she didn''t swallow it. She wrinkled her face and looked pitiful. She couldn''t help but scold her in a low voice:
"Betty, please eat it quickly. My mother is watching you. You must eat this Blueberry today..."
One side of the eldest daughter Bella spits out her tongue, reaches for the fork of fried black pig meat, consciously changes the direction, forks up a blue frost fruit, while eating, listening to her mother''s chatter.
"Is blueberry so bad? It''s something that department stores are vigorously purchasing. The high-ranking old men are eating blue frost fruit. Why don''t you like to eat this little thing... "
Weila''s "acquisition" is quite a sensation in the territory recently.
In the past years, the wild is full of blue frost fruit, many places even all over the mountains, there are too many, fool will pay to buy.
But this year, the fool appeared.
After entering the harvest month, department stores put up signs to buy blue frost fruit. The purchase price is as high as 3kg per copper nale. Moreover, they have opened their doors to collect as much as they want.
Although the price seems very low, there are so many blueberries that you can pick dozens of kilograms at will. The way department stores do is just like giving money.
As a result, driven by money, many families of the common people, old and young, went out to pick blue frost fruit day and night. They could pick tens of thousands of kilograms of blue frost fruit every day in exchange for more than 30 silver coins.
It is said that a family of civilians earned as many as four jinnals in just ten days, which made countless people envious.
Even Frederick and his wife took advantage of this upsurge to pick some blueberries in the wild and exchange them for some silver nals'' pocket money.
Because of the large number of people who picked it, the bluefrost fruit can hardly be seen in the wild. All the places where it can be picked have been picked.
Frederick suddenly coughed and interrupted Willa:
"dear, as far as I know, department stores are just purchasing blueberry instead of the Department of agriculture. The purpose of the old men is not to eat it, but to make something called" can. "
"Can?" Vera turned her head and asked curiously, "what is a can? Its name is really strange... "
Frederick scratched his head and replied:
"I heard that it''s just to wash the blueberry, put it in an iron box and store it for a few months before eating it."
"God, how many months?" Willa was surprised, "can''t bluefrost be bad? Will they be able to eat then? "
Frederick said with some uncertainty:
"er I don''t think it''s bad. The magic weapons masters of Rune Institute are so smart that they can always find a solution Besides, if the magician can''t think of a good way, isn''t there a lord? "Vera agreed a little:
"that''s right, there''s nothing the Lord can''t do."
As if she remembered something, she said in a daze:
"tut Tut, it''s so extravagant for the old men to make cans out of metal Ah, the price of canned food should be very expensive... "
Frederick said in a funny way:
"it''s OK. As long as department stores start selling cans, no matter how expensive they are, we''ll buy a can to try..."
With the tide of the sea leading the current industrial level, there is no difficulty in canning. You can handle it if you bring a few formal magicians out of the rune Institute.
In the letter to Angela, Renault just mentioned the concept of "can", and then the consul said hello to Seth, director of the Institute of Rune.
Half a month later, a canning production line was developed, and then a canning factory was set up.
This is the efficiency of the tide collar.
This production line includes a magic stamping machine, a hot magic cleaning machine, a magic filling equipment, and a magic sealing machine.
Its production efficiency is very high, the whole line only needs less than 20 workers to operate, the maximum daily production capacity is 20000 cans, and the annual output is more than 7 million.
In fact, the cost of canned food is not as high as Vera imagined. On the contrary, the cost of canned food is very low.
According to the inherent concept of ordinary people, steel itself is a kind of material with higher value. After it is processed into products, the cost will be higher.
However, this does not hold in the case of tides.
The iron and steel plant of Sailong island has already added five magic energy steelmaking furnaces, and the tonnage is larger than one by one. One of the largest steelmaking furnaces can produce 200 tons of steel at one time, and the annual output of the whole plant is more than 8 million tons.
On earth, 8 million tons is only a township steel plant at best, which belongs to the backward production capacity that should be eliminated. However, in the alien world, it is far more than the total of the whole human world.
The astonishing huge output, coupled with the magic energy steelmaking process with high efficiency and low energy consumption, has reduced the cost of steel to a very low level.
How low is it?
The price per kilogram of high-quality steel is - 2 copper nals, less than!
To be exact, 1 and 12 copper nals!
It''s a price that scares everyone''s chin.
Only in order to maintain huge profits, Renault set the price of steel at 60 copper nals per kilogram.
Rao is such a price, which is almost 30% lower than that of the same quality steel produced by woodlouse.
With the price of steel for cabbage and the price of blueberry for cabbage, the cost of a can is naturally as low as the dust. The cost of each can is less than 3 copper nals.
But that doesn''t mean the price of cans is low.
The head of Haichao chamber of Commerce, the smart Mr. Goodall, has already planned to sell cans as luxury goods.
He even thought about the sales pitch.
Hey, ladies and gentlemen, would you like to taste the delicious blueberry in the snowy winter?
It tastes sweeter than the fresh blueberry, but the freshness is not bad at all
What? Is the price of three silver cans too expensive?
No, it''s not expensive at all!
You know, in this season, there is no other fresh fruit on the market.
Just imagine, if you take out the can at the banquet and let your guests eat the blue frost fruit which is absolutely impossible to eat in this season, how would the other party feel?
Yes, as long as you buy it, your party will become more respectable!
Goodall has mastered this kind of "trick customers to pay for experience" (recharge IQ) invented by Renault.
Especially against aristocrats and businessmen who are not short of money in their pockets, this method is very effective. The Haichao chamber of commerce does not know how many cheap goods it has sold at a sky high price.
The profit of 100 times is just idle, and the profit of 1000 times is not uncommon.
