The ice in the Ice Hell Plain is anything but ordinary!
Anyone with some life experience knows that once food is stored in the refrigerator, it will taste bad when you take it out.
There is also a huge difference in taste between fresh meat and frozen meat.
Therefore, at Blue Star, we have a complete low-temperature logistics chain, and the meat is stored in refrigerated trucks at minus two degrees to ensure the quality of the meat.
Zhang Weidao: "If the meat is frozen at about minus 20 degrees, how long will its shelf life be?"
This question is very professional.
Tang Zhihun said: "Isn't the shelf life infinite? When the ice is lower than the plain, I use ice cubes to preserve the ingredients, and it lasts for decades."
"No."
"Only the Ice Hell Plains can be like this!"
Zhang Wei listed the data: "If stored at minus five degrees Celsius, pork will become tasteless within six months, and even 30% of its internal energy will be lost."
"At minus twenty degrees, this time will be extended to two years."
"Forty degrees below zero, three years."
"Logically speaking, the ice hell plain at minus 70 degrees Celsius can only maintain the freshness of frozen meat for about 15 years."
"After this time, the meat is still meat, but the quality is no different from garbage."
"But the food display window is different. Even fresh fruits will look like new after fifty years! The taste will not even change at all due to time."
Zhang Wei believes that the Ice Hell Plain is one of the miracles of this great gourmet era.
It has an almost unlimited ability to preserve the delicious taste of ingredients.
Although it is not as good as the time freeze in the right side hall, it is still very good.
In the comics, the gourmet display window gathers the ingredients stored by ancient gourmets for thousands of years. Without this attribute, the frozen ingredients would have turned into a pile of garbage long ago, and there would be no soup of the century.
The formation of Century Soup is due to the impact of methane under the Ice Hell Plain, which squeezes out the deliciousness and essence of the ingredients in the food display window.
If it were ordinary ice, how could it produce such a magical effect?
Based on this situation, Zhang Wei came up with a bold idea!
"I want to turn the Great Glacier into a place that is as good as a feast for chefs in the North!"
"Or, the next Northland Chefs' Feast will be held at the Great Glacier!"
"Use the sealing properties of the great glacier to turn it into a transit storage station for ingredients, similar to an ingredient bank! Let all the chefs come here and store the top ingredients they obtain in our bank, and we will collect part of the ingredients as
Management fee.”
"In this way, isn't it much faster than stupid collection and storage like yours?"
Zhang Wei asserted that Xifeng and others had not developed the true purpose of the large glacier.
And according to the original work, this place was indeed built by ancient gourmets, not a small organization.
Everyone present was stunned by Zhang Wei's idea.
“Food bank?”
"Can you still play like this?"
"But speaking of it, it seems that there is something going on!"
"Let all the food hunters in the world work as laborers to collect ingredients for us, and we only need to manage them specially!"
When the time comes to charge storage fees, you will be merciless!
Tang Zhihun said: "How dare you tell us this kind of idea? After all, you haven't got the Great Glacier yet! What if we plagiarize..."
Halfway through, Tang Zhihun stopped.
With Zhang Wei's current momentum, he is the only one who plagiarizes other people's ideas, and no one dares to touch his ideas.
Do you think the era of great food is a society governed by law?
What is followed here is the jungle law of Chiguoguo!
Xifeng said to Tang Zhihun in a hoarse voice: "This idea is indeed great, but only Zhang Wei can do it."
"Food bank...we don't have enough strength to deter bad actors!"
"If we really develop according to Mr. Zhang Wei's ideas, we will definitely attract countless behemoths, which we will not be able to cope with."
Xifeng turned his head and said to Zhang Wei: "I admit that the food bank idea is really brilliant. According to this method, the scale of the food display window will probably be expanded a thousand times!"
"Your conditions are also very attractive, and your management plan is stronger than mine. I can't find any reason to reject your proposal."
Zhang Wei was not surprised.
This result is inevitable.
The Great Glacier will eventually be yours.
Tang Zhihun said: "But why should the chef come all the way to the Great Glacier? And why should he trust you?"
"You must know that what any institution like a bank needs most is trust and a lot of financial resources!"
If you don't have enough financial resources to support it, how can you make people believe that you are not jealous of mountains of wealth?
Just based on reputation?
That can only be one of them.
Zhang Wei made a move: "What do you think of this thing?"
Salt essence!
It is between 4000-6000 beli per gram. Just a little bit can greatly improve the taste of food.
That's four to six million per kilogram.
Apart from the high price, the biggest advantage of salt essence is its large demand and consumption. However, the output is extremely low and the supply exceeds the demand.
"I will use salt essence as an insurance deposit. If there is a problem with the stored fine ingredients, I will pay the salt essence according to the insurance deposit. I don't think anyone will refuse."
Some people even hope that something will go wrong.
In exchange for a large amount of salt essence.
After all, this thing is said to cost several thousand beli, but there is no place to buy it.
Tang Zhihun questioned: "According to your idea, if the food bank wants to grow big, it will not be possible without billions of cash. If converted into salt essence, at least one or two tons will be enough!"
After Tang Zhihun said this, he was shocked!
You must know that the annual supply in the entire Northland is only a few dozen kilograms.
What is the concept of one or two tons?
The four major salt merchants supply only 8 tons of salt essence to the entire continent a year.
And these eight tons of salt essence require hundreds of thousands of laborers, a hundred times more than the large glaciers.
Zhang Wei briefly calculated the salt essence on hand and found that the daily output was about 13 kilograms, which was accumulated in less than 50 days...
650kg.
There is still a certain distance between the so-called two tons.
Zhang Weidao: "Don't worry about this. Once the war in the Country of Clouds is over, I should be able to provide about a ton of salt essence."
"And... as the most senior chef, I have the right to distribute part of the spoils. If all my credit is converted into ingredients, it will be enough."
Just from rescuing Lang Tu, Zhang Wei almost had an income of about 500 million. Lin Lin summed it up, and it would not be a problem to collect several billion.
When the food bank is established, Zhang Wei can exchange for a lot of top-quality ingredients just through transactions.
and……
"According to my vision, the food bank will become the largest food distribution base in Northland and surrounding areas, and it will definitely attract many chefs by then."
"With chefs and famous gourmet hunters, gourmet merchants will also flock to it." In addition to storage, various transactions can also be carried out. "
"And you can hold various chef competitions in my name, and the income from ticket sales far exceeds the prize money."
"Also, my chef school will be held there!"
One idea after another came out of Zhang Wei's mouth.
No matter which one, everyone in the North was shocked and inexplicable.
Under their witness, a gourmet capital in the Northern Continent is rising!
