The cold weather causes flames to rise, and wisps of gray-white smoke rise from the ground, hover in the air, and gradually fade until they dissipate.

October 31, 1859, the eve of Halloween.

The orange pumpkin was cut into a jack-o'-lantern, and the flickering candle flame flickered in its grinning mouth.

All the kids in the city of New Haven, rich and poor, started trick-or-treating on Halloween Eve.

Furnace ash, cinders, silt, sack fragments, and discarded industrial waste have all become props for poor children.

As if they had been transformed into wild beasts, they were covered in a foul smell, carrying small pockets, knocking on the door of any year, shouting - "Fatten".

They are indescribable, like evil infidels, who keep blackmailing a family for the sake of the sacred object of candy.

However, in this year of economic crisis, rich families may give a piece of candy to every child who knocks on the door, while those who are not rich will knock a piece of candy into more than double-digit pieces, and each child can only get a very pitiful share.

However, even this very pitiful point is a hard-won sweet for children.

When the sugar flakes are placed on the tip of the tongue, the saliva secretes sharply, breaking down the starch in the sugar cubes, and the sweetness blooms on the taste buds.

For the vast majority of children, this taste of happiness can only be experienced once a year.

Although Doug doesn't remember Halloween Eve, Williams, who is careful, has prepared a lot of candy.

The warm desk in Doug's warm office has an unobstructed view of everything at the main entrance of the printing and dyeing factory.

Nathan, at the door, wrapped in his coat and stomping his feet, stood there to deliver candy to every child who came to knock on the door and ask for candy.

Although Doug himself is not a Western holiday, it does not prevent him from asking his subordinates to do some activities.

Paying attention to social benefits and social fame is one of the necessary courses for modern enterprises.

Because – believe in the power of the brand.

However, Doug withdrew his gaze and looked at a few candies on his table, but shook his head.

He didn't want to eat the candy of this era.

Blair and Thomson's small team investigated food safety issues more and more.

When I didn't investigate, I didn't seem to find any problems.

However, after investigating, it was discovered that almost all foods that can be easily accessed on a daily basis have shocking inside stories.

Remember throwing copper flakes into the vegetable soup to make the vegetable soup greener?

That's right!

You're not wrong!

The green color of green candy is also patina.

Of course, that's not even what it is.

Have you ever eaten mercuric sulfide as dye-dyed red candy?

In addition to these heavy metal dyes, there are also some special color candies, the dye composition comes from the natural insect shell.

Think about it, for every candy eaten, an insect dies.

There is no buying and selling, there is no killing.

Save the insects!

On the eve of Halloween this time, Doug didn't have any preparations, he had already thought about it, and on the eve of Halloween, he would send rock candy if he wanted to.

Despite being only slightly yellow, it doesn't look very attractive. But better than using these messy dyes, it comes to health and safety.

The city of New Haven, the ghetto and the rich, is not distinct, but there is a clear distinction.

William, the president of the Eagle Bank in New Haven, is in the middle of New Haven's affluent neighborhood.

The security here is very good, the transportation is also very convenient, except that the surrounding things are a few points more expensive, it can be regarded as the most suitable place to live in New Haven.

In the past, those mud legs of poor families who wanted to come to the rich area had to ask the security guard if the iron rod in his hand agreed.

But today is Halloween Eve, it's a day of revelry, and everything is different.

Even an inferior child with mud on his face, sack on his body, and a wooden stick in his hand, pretending to be a primitive person, can come to the rich area to ask for candy.

Moreover, people in the rich areas are very wealthy, and they often give more and better candy.

Therefore, the poorer the child, the more likely it is to organize a copy of the rich section on Halloween.

No matter how vicious the rich are, at this time, they will still pinch their noses and ask the nanny to prepare the candy.

William's wife, Sophia, was an English aristocrat. Although after the Industrial Revolution, British aristocracy could be bought with money, and it became more and more widespread, Baroness Sovia has always felt that her status is very noble.

Hearing the noise of children outside the house, she called to the nanny in disgust, "Are those sweets ready?"

"My master, get ready!"

"Those damn little poor ghosts will come and ask for candy in a while, don't have a single left, send me all the candy!"

"Yes, my master!"

"Knock knock!"

"Trick-or-treating!"

"Wow! this candy looks so good!"

"Eat one!"

……

"No! No, there's a needle in the sugar!"
