Chapter 260 Uncle Meow Cracks the Mystery
The Oolong incident just now and the inexplicable situation now, the foreman must be complaining in his heart: What kind of masters are these people? They don’t understand anything and they come to ask me everything. It seems that the masters found on the Internet are really unreliable.
, money wasted in vain...
Just when the foreman couldn't help but want to criticize us, Uncle Meow pointed at the contents of the bottles and said: "You are young, so you may have never seen this thing, but... I know..."
As he spoke, Uncle Meow smiled and touched the stubble on his chin, returning to his calm mode.
Ermiao and I are about the same age, in our twenties, and the foreman is actually in his early thirties.
Indeed, among us, Uncle Meow is still the oldest, and he also has the capital to "rely on his old age and sell his old age".
No no no!
"Relying on the old and selling the old" seems to be a derogatory term and cannot be used on Uncle Meow. To put it another way, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Hmm, that sounds better!
Uncle Meow is older, he has lived for sixty years, he eats more salt than we eat rice, and he has naturally seen more things than us.
Since Uncle Meow says he knows what’s in the bottle, we’re all ears!
Ermiao and I looked at each other, and it was the foreman who was the first to ask impatiently: "Master, what are those? Can you please tell me?!"
"Don't be so nervous, hehe. This thing has nothing to do with horror," Uncle Meow explained with a smile, "In fact, this thing can be regarded as a kind of food. It was very popular in the 1990s.
It took a while, but soon no one used it..."
What what?!
Did I hear that right?!
Uncle Meow actually said that the things soaked in those jars were food, edible things?!
Can something so disgusting be considered food?!
Is this even more flavorful than Laokeng sauerkraut?!
Uncle Meow was really showing off, shaking his head and refusing to say anything. Even his precious son couldn't stand it anymore.
Er Meow urged Uncle Meow: "Speak quickly, I'm so worried!!!"
Uncle Miao pointed to one of the cleanest jars and said: "The scientific name of this thing is kombucha. It is a type of bacteria that likes to live in black tea and white sugar water. It was all the rage in the late 1980s and early 1990s, almost
Everyone has drunk the water made from kombucha. It is sour and sweet, and it is indeed not unpleasant to drink, and it is also good for the stomach..."
What the fuck?!
Kombucha?
I've only heard of Lactobacillus?
Ermiao and I are both born in the 1990s, so we have no such impression at all. The foreman is a few years older than us, and it seems that he has never heard of it...
Even if this thing is kombucha, why are there so many cans stored here?
Uncle Meow continued to explain that it turns out that kombucha and lactic acid bacteria are similar. They are both probiotics and are said to be good for the human body.
Maybe thirty years ago, people's living standards were low and milk was relatively scarce, so it was impossible to drink yogurt every day, so kombucha was used as a substitute.
This kind of thing is cheaper to make than yogurt. Just put a small piece of live kombucha in tea with sugar, and the effect is almost the same as drinking yogurt.
At that time, everyone wanted to drink kombucha water, so the sales of kombucha naturally increased, and there were people selling this kind of thing.
Uncle Meow guesses...
The Health School may seem to be related to medicine, so a school-run factory was opened here to cultivate kombucha and sell it.
People can buy a small piece of kombucha from here and keep it in the black tea water at home.
This thing is also amazing, it can grow up slowly on its own.
But the trend of drinking kombucha passed quickly, so so many of them were cultivated here that they couldn’t be sold.
Without anyone to manage it, over time, the kombucha in the jar will grow bigger and thicker, looking like mushrooms.
In fact, a mushroom is also a type of fungus!
If the seal is not tight enough and air enters, mildew will occur and black or white hair will grow.
If it continues to deteriorate, heat will be generated, and the glass jar will burst, naturally making the sound of glass exploding.
Therefore, the smell in this room is not formalin, but the smell of spoiled kombucha and tea. Because there are too many bacteria in it, it is also irritating to the eyes.
After listening to Uncle Meow’s analysis, we feel that our knowledge has really increased. Every old person in the family is like a treasure. This saying is not groundless!
Therefore, when the foreman asked the school how to deal with the items in the small bungalow, the school said they didn't want them all because they were useless things. That's why the school said so.
This row of small bungalows looks very strange, but in fact there is nothing inside. Uncle Meow easily cracked it.
Since there is no dirt, the foreman feels more at ease and can safely let the workers knock down the house.
Although the ghost was not caught, the foreman still respected Uncle Meow as a master. He also said that it was not too late now, so why not invite everyone to a nearby restaurant for a meal to express his gratitude.
Meow Meow and I were young, and after two hours of tossing around, we were both hungry. Of course Uncle Meow would not refuse.
So we left the medical school. When we passed the door, we saw Lao Chen still sitting in the car waiting for us.
Although Lao Chen did not participate in the operation, he was invited to eat. After all, we are a team and team spirit is still needed!
…
In a small restaurant nearby, in a relatively large private room.
The foreman ordered a large table of dishes. Although there was nothing particularly expensive, they were all home-cooked dishes that were large and delicious. We were all very happy eating them.
During the banquet...
While talking, I don’t know why the topic turned to Er Meow’s short video...
But this is not a digression. After all, the foreman was attracted by Er Miao’s short video, and then he got to know Uncle Miao, a pseudo-master.
Therefore, short videos are the trigger!
The foreman said that he personally felt that the video about the seaside villa that Ermiao uploaded recently was the best, because his family lived on the seaside, and before the villa was renovated, he and his friends always sneaked into it when he was a child.
Go on adventures, he has loved this kind of adventure since he was a child...
So I accidentally came across Er Miao’s video on my phone, so I paid special attention to it and instantly became Er Miao’s loyal fan!
After hearing what the foreman said, Lao Chen and I almost put down our chopsticks together!
I really didn't expect that I actually met an insider and asked about the situation of the house...
But Lao Chen is different from what I thought. That villa is Tang Jia's house. Lao Chen likes Tang Jia. He belongs to Aiwujiwu...
Lao Chen and I looked at each other...
