Chapter 99 The Adventures of Boss Huang

Huang Cansheng is in his early [-]s this year, a native of Hong Kong, Dongguo, and everyone he knows calls him Boss Huang.This boss Huang has a good business vision. He went to Mande, the southernmost part of the Black Desolate Continent more than ten years ago, and opened a seafood factory, specializing in the processing of high-grade dried abalone. At first, it was exported to Hong Kong or the island country Sang. This book was mainly exported to the mainland of the East.

The beach reefs in Mandeguo are suitable for the growth of abalone. After the local varieties of abalone are processed into dried abalone, the average size is five abalone.The so-called five-headed abalone is unique to the Eastern Kingdom, that is, one pound can weigh five.

Then the seven-headed abalone can weigh seven per pound, which is one size smaller than the five-headed abalone. This refers to the dried abalone that has been processed after the shell has been removed. The most exaggerated is the super two-headed abalone, two of which can weigh more than a pound. ...

The loose-hearted abalone must be processed in a complete live abalone, and the excess part is removed and the protective color on the surface is brushed off, and then air-dried.The drying method varies according to the humidity, temperature and light intensity. The main reason is to allow it to ferment naturally during the air-drying process, and to form a soft and loose core inside, with a bright yellowish reddish color and a layer of hoarfrost on the surface.

Fresh abalones that are not big enough and of insufficient quality cannot be processed into loose-hearted abalones.There are also high-quality abalones in the coastal area of ​​​​the eastern country. For example, in the port city of Binhai in the northeast, the latitude is high and the water temperature is low. The growth rate of abalone is slower, and the meat is firmer and more umami, but the taste is slightly harder. Some.

But there are many people in Dongguo, and there are many old friends at the seaside. When the tide is low, you can go to the sea. After so many years, you can no longer see the slightly larger wild abalone on the offshore reefs.Now artificial breeding has begun, but the growth conditions of abalone are still relatively harsh, and the growth rate in seawater is relatively slow, which is different from raising chickens and raising pigs.

The situation in Mande is different. The long coastline has many reefs and beaches. When the tide is low, there are opportunities for big abalone everywhere.Boss Huang watched a documentary about Mande in Hong Kong, mainly about the country's reform history. Several of the shots swept across the beach, and his eyes were straight.

With a sum of money, he went to Mande to set up a processing factory and hired local residents to pick, clean and dry abalone. His own boss also served as a technician and guided the whole process. He finally cultivated a group of skilled workers. Then the business was on the right track, and I made a lot of money over the years.

The law and order in Mandeguo is not very good, and many shops are often robbed, but Huang's processing factory is not greatly affected.Because there is nothing to grab here, it's all abalone being processed or waiting to be processed.As for money, who would put the cash in the factory, the processed products are directly exported, and the payment goes into the bank account.

The locals don't eat abalone, they don't even know it can be eaten, let alone how to eat it.Fresh abalone is still like this, let alone dried abalone. This stuff looks like a piece of dried hard glue, it can't be bitten, and it can't be boiled.

The cooking method of dried abalone is time-consuming and labor-intensive. First of all, it takes several days to prepare the ingredients and soak it. Even if it is a simple method, the cooking process will take at least a whole day, and it must be accompanied by ham, broth, juice consumption, etc. Various accessories.

Even if you tell the locals, they can't do it. Who can spend so much extra effort to eat a cauliflower?If it is exported to Dongguo, it is usually only sold in high-end restaurants. A five-headed abalone can be sold for thousands of Dongguo dollars. If you want to order it, you must make an appointment in advance.

This is also due to the rapid economic development of Dongguo in recent years. Many people have become rich, and they have begun to pursue the enjoyment of life without getting tired of eating.

Boss Huang has opened a processing factory in Mandeguo for more than ten years. He has also experienced many frightening moments, but he has passed it safely, but his business has been ruined recently.

First of all, the local bodyguard he hired turned against the water, and he did not know which force he colluded with to rob the cash that had just been taken out of the bank and was going to be used for salary payments.

Then, out of nowhere, rumors spread that his factory was destroying the local environment, and even more exaggerated rumors that it disturbed the gods.The factory was smashed, and many dried abalones that were being processed and processed before they could be transported away were torched by the rioters.

Small events also have big context.Due to the recent economic downturn in Mandeguo for various reasons, the security of the neighborhood where the processing plant is located has deteriorated sharply.On online media such as overseas social software, I don't know who made the rumors, saying that this group of businessmen from the East Country robbed local resources and created this crisis.

Immediately afterwards, an old worker secretly told Huang Cansheng that someone wanted to kidnap him.This old worker is a local aboriginal and the first factory backbone who worked with Boss Huang. He still has a lot of affection for Boss Huang.

To the surprise of Boss Huang, the mastermind behind the kidnapping was actually a local "compatriot" and a friend he met after he came to Mande.The person's name is Chen Fan'an. He has dual nationalities of Yin and Mande. His father came to Mande from Hong Kong, and his ancestors are also Chinese of Dongguo descent.

Boss Huang couldn't help cursing in his heart. What's more hateful than foreign devils are these two devils. They call themselves compatriots when they are good for them, but when they turn around, they can sell you and stab you in the back.

Boss Huang is very rich, and there are not many friends who can communicate smoothly in his native language in the local area. In fact, he has given Chen Fanan a lot of benefits over the years and borrowed a lot of money to help him do business.

He was scolded, but Huang Cansheng had no choice. Hearing that the other party was going to act that night, he had no time to flee to another place. With the help of the old worker, he urgently boarded a boat and came to Fesuo Port.

This is a passenger ship belonging to the Port of Fesso Port Company. It sailed along the coastline in the offshore area and carried about [-] passengers, almost all of whom were Chinese from the East, who left the city of Mande for various reasons. .

Most of them have learned through the Dongguo language network media that in recent days, there is a place in Fesuogang city, where the public security environment and development prospects are very good, and Dongguo ethnic Chinese are welcome to go to work or travel, and the local government even Commitment to security and job opportunities.

This is actually a special promotion by Huanxiang Industry. It was planned by Vice President Lei Dajin and Cui Wanhe, Director of the Culture and Propaganda Department, and sent out news through various Dongguo language social media. Even the passenger ship was arranged by Huanxiang Industry through relationships.

Huang Cansheng was one of the few people with unknown inside information on the ship. At that time, the situation was urgent. He heard that the ship was going to Fesuo Port, so he came up with a suitcase.A business partner he knew in his early years is also a good friend. Now he is in Fesuo Port. I heard that he joined a gang that sells straw sandals. There is still frequent contact between the two.

He plans to defect to this friend first, and then turn back to Hong Kong depending on the situation. The business of Mandeguo cannot be done. If there is an opportunity in Fesuogang, it is not impossible to consider starting a new business.In fact, he has also made a lot of money in these years, even if the processing factory is gone, it is not hurt.

But when he came to Fesuo Port, he was stunned by what he saw.A friend came to pick him up at the pier, and the two actually walked through the local neighborhood, which was too risky, right?

Based on his many years of life experience in the Black Desolate Continent, and also according to some of his impressions of the Jili National Road, don't rush into unfamiliar neighborhoods, it's better to drive along the main road.

The faces of the two typical Chinese from the East China, without local guides and bodyguards, walked through the streets as if they were shopping, which was simply a target for robbery.What if money and documents are stolen?If you don't get it right, you will die!

The friend smiled and shook his head and said that it doesn't matter, this is the Keling District, and he is a member of the new alliance.

The International Wharf is neat, not too surprising, and the local neighborhood buildings are a bit messy, which is normal.What really surprised Boss Huang is that the streets here are very clean, and there is no cross-flow of sewage and littering of debris.

There are large trash cans with wheels at every street intersection, and they are specially classified!

Every time I pass a few intersections, there is a brand-new and very beautiful building. When I get closer, it turns out that it is a public toilet.These are obviously only recently repaired, and there is a unified planning and design and formal construction.

In front of the building, there are bilingual signs in East Yinwen: XXXX is strictly prohibited in public toilets, and offenders will be fined for three days.

Who would do that in a public toilet?But with the temperament of the local indigenous people, we can't say for sure!But how is the fine unit "day"?The puzzled boss Huang asked his friends for advice.

The friend explained with a smile that the so-called fine is to go to the construction site designated by the new alliance to work for three days for free.Most of the local indigenous people are illiterate. They can't read either Yinwen or Dongguo characters, but it doesn't matter. Have you seen those with yellow armbands?

It's the chubby local indigenous aunt, who patrols every block in pieces, and also uses the local language to promote it.

After walking a little further, Boss Huang heard a loud and rhythmic singing. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it. This should be an old Dongguo song "We Workers Have Power". .

The song was sung in the local dialect, and Boss Huang couldn't understand it, and the tune seemed to have been properly adapted to make it more rhythmic, but it could still be heard.

Immediately afterwards, Boss Huang saw a group of local natives carrying large rattan silk brooms, marching in a neat line and walking in front of them, their dark skin shimmering in the sun, and all of them were refreshed.

After a song, the leading squad leader shouted a password, and they continued to sing, the same song, but this time in Dongguo!

Boss Huang's eyes almost fell in shock, but when he looked at the friend next to him, he didn't seem surprised.The Dongguo pronunciation of these black desert natives is not very standard, but it can basically make a Dongguo person understand what words are being sung.

Boss Huang even had to admit that as far as this song was concerned, if he sang it by himself, it would not be more standard than the black desert natives in front of him.

Boss Huang can understand and speak Dongguo Mandarin, but he usually only speaks dialects. of cunning.

But today's scene really shocked him, he suddenly felt as if he had come to the wrong place, but somehow he was relieved, and he was no longer as anxious as when he first got off the boat.
