Into Unscientific

after an hour.

Base chemistry lab.

Boom!

"Comrade Han Li, please give me an explanation!"

I saw Liu Youcheng slapped the table heavily, staring at Xu Yun in front of him angrily, and asked:

"With all due respect, how can you add ginger to something like Coke?"

"You are clearly an insult to this drink! You are a despicable heretic! You should be dragged out to grind!"

As an early foreign student who has studied abroad.

Liu Youcheng, like Lao Guo and Qian Wushi, have all drank Leke, a novelty foreign thing abroad.

And it is different from the old Guo brothers.

Liu Youcheng is not a casual taster of Coke, but a real happy water fanatic.

For example, in his autobiography, which was reported by himself and recorded by Professor Huang Guoqiang of Renmin University, he expressed his preference for Coke many times.

Therefore, when he learned that the base had obtained the formula of Coke and was going to make a deal with Mao Xiong with Coke.

Liu Youcheng is still a little happy - his favorite drink can bring benefits to the country he loves, is there anything better than this?

But after getting the actual formula, Liu Youcheng was confused.

In addition to the standard cola preparation formula, there are several weird flavors in the formula:

For example, a white and transparent high-sweet soda water containing lemon ingredients is called Rebi.

Of course.

This kind of white sparkling water is actually easy to say.

After all, Liu Youcheng has seen a similar product across the sea, it's called Qixi, and the sales are not bad.

But the remaining recipes are quite puzzling to him:

For example, a kind of ginger cola that is added with peeled ginger and boiled over low heat.

It is said that this thing needs to be heated when drinking - yes, tmd is hot!

What else is Cherry Coke made with cherries.

There is even a formula that says taurine and ginseng!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻!!!!

What is this all about? !

How can there be cola with cherry and ginger?

Isn't this the same heresy as tofu brain with salt? !

So the first time I saw the recipe.

Liu Youcheng immediately contacted Li Jue and Lao Guo and asked them to take Xu Yun to the laboratory.

This moment.

Li Jue, who had never had a Coke before, had a slightly confused expression on his face:

".0v0."

He thought that Liu Youcheng encountered some difficulties during the development process, but he didn't expect this?

But by Li Jue's side.

Xu Yun's expression was still calm.

After all, Liu Youcheng's idea in 2023 is at most a passer-by level, and later generations will be more exciting than this.

Don't say anything else.

Just Ye Fan and Shi Hao, whoever has the higher combat power, is enough to kill the posters

Think here.

Xu Yun couldn't help taking a deep breath, and said to Liu Youcheng:

"Director Liu, I can probably guess some of your thoughts—everything should be authentic."

"However, Director Liu, you have studied abroad, so you must know or have seen a situation."

"That is, in order to suit the local taste, many Chinese restaurants often deviate some dishes from the original taste, such as the so-called American Chinese food."

I heard this.

Old Guo on the side couldn't help but nodded.

well known.

The development of Chinese food abroad is basically in sync with the modern history of China.

Probably from the end of the 19th century.

With the emergence of various Chinese who went abroad to work, study abroad, or do business, Chinese food has gradually spread to all parts of Europe and the United States.

And in this development process.

Many European or American Chinese dishes have also been born one after another.

For example, the famous General Tso's Chicken.

Of course.

Its inventor was not Zuo Zongtang, but the late Mr. Peng Changgui:

At that time, Liang Xuzhao asked Peng Changgui to study the menu for Radford's banquet. On the third day, Peng Changgui chopped the chicken into pieces, fried it first and then fried it, and served it with a special sauce to form a new dish.

Eaters praised its deliciousness and asked about the name of the dish. Peng Changgui answered casually "Tso's Chicken".

There are many similar situations, such as mapo tofu that has been modified into countless versions by magic.

Objectively speaking.

As long as this kind of behavior does not rise to the level of contempt for Chinese cuisine, there is nothing wrong with them in themselves-isn’t it just to make money to open a Chinese restaurant abroad?

When Liu Youcheng was studying abroad, he had seen and even tasted a lot of so-called American Chinese food, so he quickly understood Xu Yun's thoughts:

"Comrade Han Li, so you mean"

"These cokes with ginger are also an improved drink, will it be very popular with Mao Xiong?"

"That's right."

Xu Yun nodded firmly, and affirmed:

"Not only that, but it can also increase a lot in terms of price - at least 50% more is definitely not a problem."

Ginger Coke.

This drink, which was classified as a dark dish by many people in later generations, is actually not rejected anywhere like ginseng-flavored pulse.

Actually.

In some high-latitude regions, the sales volume of Ginger Coke is the same as that of ordinary Coke. Even in winter, it is pressed against ordinary Coke.

Ginger-flavored cola was first released in Tu'ao, and then it was released on a limited basis in the winter of Neon. The method is to add ginger to boil during the production process.

One of its special places is the taste, and the other is the temperature-it is a hot drink.

By the way.

Before Ginger Coke was released.

Neon Coca-Cola launched a little blue bird poll, asking users which one they want as a new winter taste.

The four options are "Wasabi", "Pickled Plum", "Chili" and "Ginger", and finally Ginger Cola stands out.

So don't look at this thing as a weird taste, but it's actually very warm to drink in winter.

And after Tuao and Neon.

The third country popularized by Ginger Coke is the one where a cook suddenly flipped the table yesterday.

This is actually quite normal.

The reason why the bears like to drink vodka is largely because there are quite a large area in their country that is extremely cold.

Just like some fishermen in our country drink a sip of shochu before going to sea in winter, this stuff can resist the cold.

So it's no surprise that Ginger Coke with ginger is very popular with Mao Xiong.

This is actually not the most exaggerated.

In 2021.

Some Yupik people living near Greenland, which is a type of Eskimo, also completed a deal with the Danish Coca-Cola Company for 20,000 bottles of Ginger Coke.

Of course.

Except ginger ale.

The rest of the Cherry Coke is purely Xu Yun's work - anyway, it's better to block the way of dark cooking.

Just like Kunkun registered the homonym of Ji Nitaimei himself, dark cuisine doesn't matter, this achievement point must be obtained by himself.

"."

After figured this out.

Liu Youcheng's face changed for a while, and finally he sighed:

"...Forget it, since you have said so, then heresy is heresy, it doesn't matter."

"After all, national interests are above all else. If this thing can really bring us more food, you can ask me to make cockroach-flavored Coke!"

Say it.

Liu Youcheng turned to look at the assistant beside him again, and asked:

"Xiao Li, how is the syrup?"

The assistant named Xiao Li is a young man in his twenties with prominent cheekbones, and his hair looks a bit messy because he hasn't taken care of it much.

how to say

It looks somewhat similar to a player named Gao Tianliang in later LOL games.

I heard Liu Youcheng's question.

Xiao Li immediately looked at the container in front of him for a while, then raised his head and said:

"Director, it will be almost there in about ten minutes."

Only then did Liu Youcheng nodded, and at the same time introduced to Li Jue and others:

"Here, gentlemen, this is the syrup we made."

"The ingredients are honey diluted with water as mentioned by Comrade Han Li, and a small amount of sodium acetate was also added—the lab couldn't find citric acid for a while, so I used this stuff instead."

Xu Yun asked Qiao Caihong to push his wheelchair to Xiao Li's side, and stretched his head to observe the container for a few seconds.

Well, it's not bad, it's almost brown copper.

In Xu Yun's future generations.

syrup.

This can be regarded as a relatively core or an important link in the production of Coke.

In general.

The syrup added to cola is often high fructose corn syrup.

High fructose corn syrup is the most common sugar in all highly processed foods, also known as high fructose corn syrup.

Many marketing accounts in later generations always talk about fructose syrup, because it sounds like something tall and easy to fool people.

Indeed.

This stuff is indeed a bit harmful to the human body, and it needs a lot of exercise to metabolize it after drinking it.

If it cannot be metabolized, it will lead to obesity and damage the liver.

But the problem is that the above statement has a premise:

Your intake is too much, more than the general line.

Otherwise, talking about the harm regardless of the dose is a hooligan—it can only be said that compared with "compatriots" such as sucrose, its harm threshold is relatively easy to meet.

The original reason why Coke used high fructose corn syrup to produce was actually to avoid taxes, and later became popular because its cost was much lower than that of high sucrose.

These days, making homemade fructose syrup requires some skills. These skills are not to say that rabbits cannot achieve them, but that it is obviously impossible to come up with suitable supporting equipment in such a short period of time.

So Xu Yun directly took out honey instead. After all, this thing is still much simpler than the complete fructose syrup production process.

Just wait until Teddy Bear gets a taste of the samples and decides to work with the bunnies

Then the production process of fructose syrup can be on the agenda.

ten minutes later.

A bowl of copper-brown honey syrup came out of the oven.

Liu Youcheng put it aside to keep warm to prevent the caramel from agglomerating.

Then started processing.

parsley juice.

The purpose of the coriander juice is to replace the essence in the formula. After all, there are not many reserves of industrial essence in the base at present - there are prickly ash and so on, but this kind of spice is obviously different from the essence.

After exporting the parsley juice.

Liu Youcheng added an appropriate amount of baking soda and water.

After a while.

Bubble reaction formed.

See this situation.

Liu Youcheng took a deep breath and waved to Xiao Li:

"Xiao Li, bring Jiang Si."

Hearing this, Xiao Li immediately came to Liu Youcheng with the sliced ​​ginger. Judging from the fineness of the ginger, Xiao Li's knife skills are actually pretty good

"."

Then Liu You waved his hand in disgust, and turned his head slightly:

"Okay, let's add this thing."

Xiao Li said yes when he heard the words, picked up a gauze bag for decocting medicine, put ginger shreds in it, and added it together with syrup, baking soda and other prepared materials-such as nutmeg oil and cinnamon oil.

Follow normal conditions.

After this step, the cola needs to stand for 24 hours before drinking.

However, in order to save time this time, Xu Yun deliberately used a water bath to speed up.

So six hours later.

The first batch of initial products were officially released.

Note:

Today is a bit short. I will go to Fuzhou to pick up the report after the Dragon Boat Festival. I will return from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm this month. I have no chance to ask for leave this month, so I have to leave 2000 words just in case

Sometimes it is short and sometimes it is long. This is also in line with the human body, and it is reasonable and reasonable.
