Chapter 584 Happy water is out!

Chapter 584 Happy water is out!

An hour later.

Base chemistry laboratory.

Bang!

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

Liu Youcheng slapped the table hard, stared at Xu Yun in front of him angrily, and asked:

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

"You are clearly insulting this drink! You are a despicable heretic! You should be dragged out!"

As an early international student who studied abroad.

Liu Youcheng, like Lao Guo and Qian Wushi, had all drank the novel foreign stuff like Loco abroad.

And it is different from Brother Guo.

Liu Youcheng is not just a casual taster of Coke, but a real fan of Happy Water.

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

So when I learned that the base had obtained the formula of Coke and was preparing to trade Coke with the stuffed bears.

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

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

In addition to the standard cola preparation formula, there are also several more bizarre flavors:

For example, a white, transparent, highly sweet soda containing lemon ingredients is called Leibi.

Of course.

This pure white sparkling water is actually pretty good.

After all, Liu Youcheng had seen a similar product across the sea. Its name was Qixi, and its sales were pretty good.

But the remaining formulas were quite puzzling to him:

For example, a ginger cola is made by adding peeled shredded ginger and boiling it over low heat.

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

What else is Cherry Coke made with cherries?

There is even one with a formula that says taurine and ginseng!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!!!

What the hell is this? !

Where can I find Coke with cherry and ginger juice?

Isn’t this the same heresy as adding salt to tofu? !

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.

At this moment.

Li Jue, who had never drank Coke, looked a little confused:

".0v0."

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

But around Li Jue.

Xu Yun's face was still calm.

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

Don’t say anything else.

Just whoever has higher combat power, Ye Fan or Shi Hao, is enough to massacre Tieba

Think of this.

Xu Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath and said to Liu Youcheng:

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

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

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

Hear this.

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

As everyone knows.

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 people going abroad to work, study, and do business, Chinese food has gradually become popular throughout Europe and the United States.

And in the process of this development.

Many European or American Chinese dishes have also been produced 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 Redford's banquet. On the third day, Peng Changgui chopped the chicken into pieces, fried and then stir-fried, and served it with special sauce to create a new dish.

The diners praised the deliciousness and asked about the name of the dish. Peng Changgui casually replied "Zongtang Zuo's Chicken".

There are many similar situations, such as Mapo Tofu that has been transformed into countless versions by demons.

Objectively speaking.

As long as this kind of behavior does not rise to the level of despising Chinese cuisine, there is actually nothing wrong with it - isn't it just to make money when opening Chinese restaurants 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 what you mean is"

"These colas with ginger shreds are also an improved drink. Will they be very popular among the furry bears?"

"That's right."

Xu Yun nodded firmly and affirmed:

“Not only that, but the price can also be increased a lot – at least 50% more is definitely no problem.”

Ginger Coke.

This drink, which has been classified as a dark cuisine by many people in later generations, is not actually rejected everywhere like ginseng-flavored pulse.

Actually.

In some high latitude areas, the sales volume of Ginger Coke is the same as that of regular Coke. Even in winter, it outsells regular Coke.

Ginger-flavored cola was first launched in Tu'ao, and then it was launched for a limited time in the neon winter. The method is to add ginger and cook it during the production process.

What's special about it is firstly its taste, and secondly its temperature - it's a hot drink.

By the way.

Before the release of Ginger Coke.

Neon Coca-Cola launched a Little Bluebird poll to ask users which new winter flavor they would like.

The four options were "horseradish", "pickled plums", "chili pepper" and "ginger", and the Ginger Coke stood out in the end.

So although this stuff tastes a bit weird, taking a sip in winter is actually very stomach-warming.

After Tuao and Neon.

The third country where Ginger Coke is popularized was when a cook suddenly flipped the hair off the table yesterday.

This is actually quite normal.

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

Just like some fishermen in our country take a sip of soju before going to the sea in winter, wine can resist the cold.

So it’s no surprise that Ginger Coke with ginger is so popular among the furry bears.

This is actually not the most exaggerated thing.

In 2021.

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

Of course.

Except for ginger coke.

The rest of the Cherry Coke is purely Xu Yun's job - I've done it anyway, why not block the road to Dark Cuisine too.

Just like Kunkun himself registered the homonym of Ji Ni Taimei, dark cooking doesn't matter, he must get this achievement point by himself.

"."

After thinking about this.

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

".Well, since you 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, it's no problem if you want me to make cockroach-flavored Coke!"

Say it.

Liu Youcheng turned to look at the assistant next to him and asked:

"Xiao Li, how's the syrup going?"

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

How to say it

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

I heard Liu Youcheng's question.

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

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

Liu Youcheng nodded and introduced to Li Jue and others:

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

"The ingredients are honey diluted with water as Comrade Han Li said, and a very small amount of sodium acetate was added - citric acid couldn't be found in the laboratory for a while, so I used this thing instead."

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

Well, not bad, almost almost a brown color.

In the future life where Xu Yun traveled through time.

syrup.

This is considered a core or important link in cola production.

In general.

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

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

There are many marketing accounts in later generations who always talk about fructose syrup, because it sounds like something high-end and easy to fool people.

True.

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 and exceeds the normal limit.

Otherwise, talking about harm regardless of dosage is just a hoax - it can only be said that compared with its "comatriots" such as sucrose, its harm threshold is relatively easy to encounter.

The original reason why Coca-Cola was produced using high-fructose corn syrup was to avoid taxes, but it later became popular because its cost was much lower than that of high-fructose corn syrup.

These days, making homemade fructose syrup requires some skills. It's not that the rabbits can't achieve these skills, but it's 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 production process of fructose syrup.

Just wait for the furry bear to taste the sample and decide to cooperate with the rabbits

Then the production process of fructose syrup can be put on the schedule.

Ten minutes later.

A bowl of brown honey syrup comes out of the oven.

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

Then we started to deal with it.

Coriander juice.

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

After exporting the coriander juice.

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

After a while.

A bubble reaction forms.

See this situation.

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

"Xiao Li, bring the ginger silk."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately came to Liu Youcheng with the cut ginger slices. Judging from the fineness of the ginger slices, Xiao Li's knife skills were actually pretty good

"."

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

"Okay, let's add this thing in."

Xiao Li said yes after hearing this, picked up a gauze bag for decoction, put the shredded ginger in it, and added it together with syrup, baking soda, and other prepared materials such as nutmeg oil, cinnamon oil, etc.

As per normal conditions.

After reaching this step, the coke needs to sit for 24 hours before drinking.

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

So six hours later.

The first batch of products was officially released.

Note:

Today is a bit short. I have to go to Fuzhou after the Dragon Boat Festival to pick up a report. I will leave at 8 am and come back at 5 pm. I have no chance to ask for leave this month, so I will leave 2,000 words just in case

Sometimes it is short and sometimes it is long. This is in line with the human body and is reasonable. (End of chapter)
