Chapter 385: Thinking of a piece of meat
The bus is running on the streets of the city.
The lush banyan and mango trees on both sides, the large area of greenery, and the sky garden on the roof make the entire Taunggyi City look like a wild mountain forest.
This is also a city invested and built by the Sapiens Company. One of its characteristics is that it seeks to integrate with the surrounding natural environment.
The young man looked at the large patch of greenery outside the window and smiled disapprovingly: "The mosquitoes in this city must really like it."
The fat man took a sip of mineral water and said, "Shengkai, you are wrong about this. I have been to Dongzhi several times, and there are not many mosquitoes outdoors here."
"Is this true? With so much greenery, how could there be no mosquitoes?" Li Shengkai looked doubtful.
"Really? Maybe the insecticide here is more thorough!" the fat man guessed casually.
In fact, the city of Taunggyi does not spray pesticides frequently, because the cities built by the Sapiens Company do not often use chemical drugs for disinfection. Instead, they use a special pheromone expulsion system to drive mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats and the like out of the human activity areas of the city.
Except for the genetically modified animals created by Sapiens itself, naturally existing animals will not easily enter human activity areas.
This is the truth about why there are no mosquitoes in Taunggyi City.
After a while.
The bus arrived at the entrance of Jade Hotel.
"We're here." Fang Xinwu picked up the suitcase.
Others also got off the bus with their suitcases.
The temperature in Hongsavady in May was already very high, and it was the rainy season in Southeast Asia . The road surface was a little wet after a light rain.
Fang Xinwu helped the fat man Mr. Zhang carry his luggage. The man weighed more than 200 pounds and was out of breath even when he walked.
When the hotel waiter saw the group of people, he knew they were foreign businessmen staying at the hotel, and greeted them with a smile: "Welcome, here is the room introduction."
Fang Xinwu, who was very familiar with the Jade Hotel, did not accept the introduction, but directly stated the room reservation requirements: "Five standard single rooms, stay for one week."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
After checking into the hotel and settling their luggage, the group did not rush to the jade wholesale center to look at jade, but first found a restaurant to comfort their stomachs.
Came to the riverside restaurant in Ruiniang District.
The commanding riverside restaurant is built above the river embankment, overlooking the Inle Lake, Shwe Niang Dam and navigation locks in the distance.
Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the Ruiniang Dam, which has reached a height of 200 meters after being raised twice, everyone couldn't help but feel insignificant.
The impact of industrial civilization is indeed shocking.
Even Li Shengkai, who had been chattering all the time, did not say anything to find fault.
Soon the dishes were served one after another.
Li Shengkai came back to his senses and looked at the dishes: "Isn't this Lingnan tea snack?"
"It's Lingnan snacks. They're all called tea restaurants here. The taste is very suitable for us southerners." The fat man said as he picked up a piece of mountain ham.
"This is good stuff. The alpine ham is directly stewed and has the original flavor."
Li Haoyun took a bite of the stewed ham and smiled: "It really tastes different. No wonder Brother Zhang has always been obsessed with the ham here."
A big fat foodie introduced with a smile: "Haha, in fact, the high mountain ham here is imported from Xuanwei in southern Yunnan Province, but the quality is better than the original."
Li Haoyun was puzzled: "Oh? Why is that? Logically speaking, the original place of origin should be better than the new place of origin, right?"
"Brother Li, you may not know that the Alpine Ham Factory in Dongzhi has a special research institute that specializes in various fermentation technologies. I visited it last time. The pig breeds and feeding are all customized, and the entire process has been standardized and industrialized."
The fat man took a sip of oolong tea and continued:
"Xuanwei ham is mainly pickled and fermented by farmers themselves, so the quality is not very stable. Although there are factories, the pig breeds and pickling and fermentation techniques used in the factories are not as professional as those in Dongzhi."
"I see. The country's development efforts in this area still need to be improved!" Li Haoyun exclaimed.
Li Shengkai, who was standing by, sneered, "This ham is only 3 yuan a piece, how good can the quality be? The real top-quality ham is the Spanish Iberian black pig ham."
"My dear nephew, you are wrong." As a fat man who loves food, although he is not as good as Li Haoyun in looking at jadeite raw stones, he is ten streets ahead of Li Haoyun in eating and drinking.
He opened his folding fan and fanned himself as he spoke: "This piece of braised ham is only 3 yuan, but it doesn't mean the quality is bad. Homo sapiens doesn't sell luxury goods, but the requirements for product quality are very high."
"The five major ham factories in Taunggyi have production lines that imitate Xuanwei ham, Jinhua ham, and Iberian ham, as well as their own unique Taunggyi ham. They produce more than 30 million hams every year. Even ordinary quick-made hams are of the same quality as the gold label Iberian hams."
"More than 30 million? With such a large number, how can the quality be guaranteed? Will they use additives and flavor enhancers to deceive consumers?" Li Shengkai was still skeptical.
The fat man shook his head. "This is the power of industrialization. Sapiens does not believe in the nonsense that traditional handicrafts are good. They have recruited many traditional handicraft masters from our country to study how to improve and industrialize production."
For traditional handmade foods like ham, sauerkraut, kimchi, marzipan, rice cake, persimmon cake, and plum wine, the human resources department of Zhiren Company will specifically recruit some skilled craftsmen.
Then set up a small research institute to study how to improve and industrialize production.
You say industrial production has no soul?
How thick is your wallet?
Soul? Feelings? Can they be eaten?
It is similar to the Japanese no-menu restaurants and sushi hermits, but it is only to satisfy the pretentious psychology of some people, so that they can distinguish themselves from ordinary people through these behaviors and show their superior attitude .
But within the Homo sapiens company, if you do these fancy performance arts , the new human employees will just think you are pretending to be big and powerful.
Sapiens does not need so-called craftsmen or sushi masters, but rather high-quality products that can be produced in a standardized manner.
If a product cannot meet the needs of all employees, then it is doomed to not be approved for sale because it is not in line with the philosophy of the Sapiens company.
Tens of thousands of Iberian hams are produced every year?
Sorry! Sapiens doesn't need this luxury.
What Sapiens needs is industrialized ham that can produce tens of millions of hams a year to meet the needs of most of the company's employees.
And are traditional handmade products tastier and safer?
No, handmade products will just cost more.
For example, some pickled cabbage made from earth pits adheres to traditional craftsmanship.
If someone dared to do this within the Homo Sapiens company, the supervision department would directly throw the person in charge into a pit to ferment together.
In this regard, Sapiens is strict to the point of being ruthless.
The fat man who had visited the ham factory was very clear about the production process and high standards, so he dared to eat the food produced by the Homo Sapiens company with confidence.
The reason why many people have doubts about food safety is the existence of bad apples.
The fat man sighed and said, "It's really a blessing to live and work here at the Sapiens Company."
"Haha, why don't Brother Zhang come over?" Li Haoyun teased.
The fat man shook his head and said, "I can't bear to leave my hometown business. After all, I have worked hard for decades. I don't know what kind of job I can do when I come to the Sapiens Company."
