Chapter 1170 Food comes first in the world (second update, please subscribe)
“…”
Although the teacher on the podium was giving a lecture, Li Yiyu was sitting in the third row from the bottom. , those big eyes stared at the clock on the blackboard from time to time. As the pointer moved, he could no longer hold back his excitement.
Today he is the student on duty!
Because it was his first time being a student on duty, he seemed very excited. Now, it was finally the last class. He didn’t care at all what the teacher was talking about. At this time, he only had one thought - —Hurry to the canteen with other students on duty and get everyone’s lunch.
When the hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock, the cafeteria was ready, waiting for the duty students of each class to lead the school meals.
Like all school canteens, this place is busy starting from early in the morning and takes three hours to prepare school meals. All personnel are well equipped and the kitchen is spotless.
Although Nanyang does not have a long history, free school meals even predate the founding of Nanyang. As early as 45 years after the counterattack on North Borneo, the issue of providing school meals was put on the agenda. And with the arrival of immigrants, it has been vigorously promoted. Currently, tens of millions of children in Nanyang are eating school meals in schools and nurseries.
At first, Nanyang’s school meals were just rice and fish. However, starting in 1947, Nanyang received assistance from the United Nations Relief and Relief Agency and the International United Children’s Fund and began to add milk made from skimmed milk powder. This formed the Nanyang school meal standards - staple food, meat, vegetables, and milk.
In the 1950s, eggs and fruits were added. After the promulgation of the "School Meals Law" in the same year, Nanyang's school meals not only had special laws, but also became more standardized. There are strict regulations on the nutritional content of every school meal. And nutrition must be balanced. Secondly, in order to provide children with more comprehensive nutrition, school meals are basically the same for a month, at least within a week. And in order to avoid duplication of school meals and meals at home, the school will send monthly recipes to parents in advance.
The daily energy intake of children of different ages has also been accurately calculated to adapt to the food intake of children of different ages. Although the food server in the cafeteria has long been skilled in mastering the amount of rice, he still compares the scales in the bowl to ensure that the amount of rice meets the standard.
However, as in the past, the first meal was given to the principal.
At 11:55, the cafeteria chef entered the principal's office with a dinner plate and said:
"Principal, please check the food."
"Wang Master, thank you for your hard work.”
The principal took the plate with a smile, and then ate half of it under the watchful eye of the chef. Different from the ordinary student's plate portion, the principal's meal was a double portion, and the principal was the only faculty member in the school who could eat for free.
This is because there is a magical rule in Nanyang. That's the kids' lunch - and the principal gets to take the first bite.
The portion sizes are equivalent to those for senior students, this is to ensure the safety of school meals.
The principal started to distribute school meals after half an hour.
In other words, the principal's free school meals are obtained by tasting them. If it is poisonous, the principal will be the first to fall.
After the principal tasted half of the food, Master Wang took out a paper bag, handed it to the principal and said:
"Principal, please sign."
Not only the principal had to sign, Master Wang also had to sign , signed and sealed, Master Wang left the principal's office. The leftovers will be stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius for two weeks together with the sample school meals.
Even if there are no problems with these school meals, the Food and Drug Administration will conduct random inspections of them every week. After all, their children also have to eat school meals at school.
12:25 noon.
As the bell rang, the students finished class on time. The teacher who packed up the teaching materials said:
"Okay, students, class is over, and the students on duty will go to the cafeteria to receive school meals."
"Okay, Teacher!”
When Li Yiyu happily put on his work clothes, put on his mask, and lunch hat under the guidance of his teacher, and went to receive the class’s lunch, the students in the class began to take out their own tableware and tablecloths. good.
"Li Yiyu, you and Wang Huijuan move the milk together."
In the school cafeteria, under the instruction of the teacher, Li Yiyu was already happily carrying a plastic box containing milk with a girl. As he walked, he said:
"Wang Huijuan, I will distribute the milk later." , this is my first time doing this.”
“Didn’t you receive it in kindergarten?”
Because we started to distribute school meals when we were in kindergarten, so Wang Huijuan was a little bit shy. curious.
“Kindergarten? I’ve never been to one...”
"Ah, you are a new immigrant. It must have been difficult for your family before coming to Nanyang!"
"Maybe, I don't know for sure."
Li Yiyu was truthful replied.
Soon, we arrived at the classroom. The students were all ready. As soon as they entered the classroom, Li Yiyu and the students on duty distributed school meals together. Soon, they returned to their seats.
Before eating, the teacher said to the students.
"The rice we eat today is produced in Buriram Province, Siam. The name means "City of Happiness". This kind of rice is long-grain rice and a type of indica rice. The milk is produced in Minnesota, USA. It is called the "State of a Thousand Lakes" and the milk is produced by American Holstein cattle. American Holstein cattle are native to the Netherlands and northern Germany and were later imported to the United States and bred...
Bananas are produced in the Hehe Plantation in Kuching. Kuching is the second largest city in Nanyang and the capital of the Kingdom of Sarawak. It is located on the west coast of Borneo. Its variety is Huajiao, which was cultivated by our ancient sages of the Tang Dynasty. The variety is currently the most widely planted banana variety in the world..."
As in the past, the teacher will tell everyone the source of the ingredients for today's lunch. Later, while thanking the students on duty, everyone focused on the food in front of them and ate it seriously.
After lunch, everyone has to wash dishes and brush teeth together. Students on duty are responsible for picking up everyone’s trash and rinsing milk bottles before they can be returned to the canteen.
Li Yiyu, who was cleaning milk bottles for the first time, carefully checked each bottle mouth to ensure that there was no damage to it.
When the empty cow bottles and tableware were delivered to the canteen, and on the way back to the classroom, Li Yiyu looked proud, as if he had returned from his first expedition, and even said to himself:
"I must tell dad when I get back that I can also deliver school meals..."
...
At the same time, Li Yian put him in his office with a solemn expression. A bunch of very clear photos were gathered together on the table and handed to Cheng Peng'an. Cheng Pengan stood up, took the photos and put them into his briefcase.
"Your Excellency,"
Cheng Pengan said slowly,
"These photos are photos provided to us by the U.S. U2 reconnaissance aircraft under the intelligence sharing agreement. These photos show their nuclear bases. Construction is accelerating, and our analysts, through aerial photos, believe they may be completed within the next five years. To have an atomic bomb within six years!"
After a pause, Cheng Pengan said:
"It may take longer! After all, the Russians are evacuating there, and the Americans judge that it will take about ten years. years, maybe even longer, after all, now they have lost the Russians to help."
After listening to Cheng Peng'an's report, Li Yian was silent for a while, then shook his head and said.
“It is also possible that an atomic bomb will be built in a shorter time. Sometimes, Americans don’t understand us. We may be scattered around the world, but we are all connected by blood after all.”
< br>After saying that, Li Yian stopped talking, but cast his gaze into the distance. Only a few people knew the connotation of his words. After all, some things can never be told to outsiders.
At least not now, just like the British, based on their love for their country, provided hydrogen bomb technology to France in order to allow Britain to smoothly join the European Community. Some things are always like this.
“But no matter what, this will fundamentally change everything.”
Faced with Cheng Peng'an's reminder, Li Yian pursed his lips,
"Yes, it will definitely bring about some changes... It will definitely change. No matter what, they must learn to accept this change. ."
Then, Li Yian changed the topic directly and asked.
"Have there been any fluctuations in the price of food in the international market recently?"
The sudden question surprised Cheng Pengan, so he answered.
"Food prices have not fluctuated in this regard for the time being..."
"You should pay attention to this trend."
After pondering for a moment, Li Yian said:
"Maybe , for us, the increase in food prices will not have much impact. After all, our food mainly comes from Africa. The plantations in Africa belong to our grain companies. It is nothing more than left hand and right hand. It is no big deal. . ”
This is the benefit of mastering the production side. In another world, why Japanese metallurgical companies can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai River amid the rising iron ore prices? In the final analysis, it is because they own iron ore in Australia and Brazil. For their shares, rising iron ore prices will not have any impact, but will actually increase their profits.
Because there are large plantations in Kenya, Zambia and other East African regions, which provide tens of millions of tons of corn, soybeans, wheat and other crops every year, the rise in international grain prices will not have much impact on Southeast Asia.
Even now, Nanyang still needs to import millions of tons of rice every year, but Nanyang rice is mainly imported from Siam and Saigon, the main source of which is Siam. The increase in rice prices will help promote local production. Economic development, and whether rice is imported from Siam or Vietnam, is settled in Nanyang dollars. They export rice and other crops to obtain Nanyang dollars, and then import industrial equipment and industrial consumer goods from Nanyang, which also promotes Nanyang's industrial production to a certain extent. .
So, the impact is almost minimal.
Cheng Pengan said: "I understand that we have corresponding institutions to track international bulk trade, and the company also has analysts in this field. We share intelligence. If there is any change, we will definitely Mastered it in the first time."
"Hmm" responded, and Li Yian took out a cigar from the cigar box next to the table. Although the new Cuban government is now in power, cigar exports have not stopped. , for now, there is no problem with the supply of his cigars. In fact, even at the height of the Cold War, Cuban cigars were still not out of stock. After all, they depended on this to earn foreign exchange.
Smoking a cigar, Li Yian slowly walked to the window, first stared out of the window for a while, and then walked slowly in the office. Anyone who knows him knows that this is his habit of thinking about problems.
After a long time, Li Yian said.
“Now, there is one thing. You need to coordinate more with the company and the grain companies. If you find any changes in grain prices, report them in time. In the past two years, the grain companies have sent orders from the United States, Argentina and Canada. Millions of tons of wheat are purchased in the market, and if necessary, grain prices can be stabilized at any time..."
Taking a puff on his cigar, Li Yian once again cast his gaze into the distance, just silently Holding a cigar in his mouth, he has been paying attention to food prices in the past few years, because food is really important, and Nanyang does need to import a large amount of food. Even if there is an overseas food supply, we cannot take it lightly, otherwise it will Pay the price...
