Bee Shadow Auxiliary Company, 5th Assembly Workshop.

As soon as the screws were tightened, the electric crane in front of Fang Junqi moved. The chair in front of you is pulled to the next process, and the new semi-finished product is automatically replaced. At the same time, an animation appears on the desktop screen, music plays, and chicken legs fall from the sky.

Looking at the golden numbers on the back of the chicken legs, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he hooked a smile of unknown meaning.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Junqi raised his right hand, aimed the tip of the screw into the hole that needed to be assembled, and hooked the trigger with his index finger.

The motor hums and spins and does not stop automatically until the screws are in place. Lifting the electric screwdriver to the next eye, he continued to calmly hook his fingers. Repeat until you have completed all the tasks at your desk.

That's all there is to his internship, sitting in place, holding his hands up, hooking his fingers, screwing out and manually hanging a new chain belt, which is not heavy, but it is really boring.

Factory managers also know that such mechanical repetition is easy for people to accumulate pressure, go crazy and lose their minds, which in turn leads to suicide and misanthropy, "fourteen consecutive jumps". And their response is the color display on the table, every time a process is completed, there will be an animation effect of "chicken legs falling from the sky", reminding everyone that there is another piece rate salary in the account.

In addition to the chicken leg animation, the system also prepares a variety of "rewards" such as carrots, meat buns, mobile phones, computers, bicycles, and even airplanes and aircraft carriers. Similar to the gift grading of the live broadcast platform, the price of these things varies, and he can get half a chicken leg after completing one, but only one percent for a mobile phone.

As for why he used physical animation instead of directly showing the amount of salary, Fang Junqi had asked the master who took him. The other party's answer was a rhetorical question: "The gift of the live broadcast platform can be exchanged for money, why don't you directly display the amount?"

Gifts have many functions on the platform: avoiding legal issues, facilitating financial accounting, covering up the company's commission, triggering the psychology of comparison, promoting the platform culture, and so on. For the Shadow Factory, the use of bonus animations can also bring many additional benefits, and Brother Qi quickly realizes the connection, and praises the factory leaders for their shrewdness.

After another "chicken leg from the sky", a light and pleasant music came out of the speaker, and a prompt of "lunch break time" appeared on the screen to remind everyone that it was time to get off work.

Putting the electric screwdriver away, Fang Junqi moved his wrists and shoulders, squeezed away the chair and stood up, shaking his head to look left and right.

Everyone's movements were similar to his, and they all put down their work and left their workstations and walked outside the factory.

"Xiao Fang!" was slapped on the shoulder, Fang Junqi turned his head to look, but it was his master Song Dacheng, an "old worker" two months older than him.

"Brother Song, what's the matter?"

"It's fine. How's it going, are you still used to it?"

"It's okay," Fang Junqi said honestly, "It's not very boring to have chicken legs hanging in front." ”

Hearing this, Song Dacheng laughed, "The chicken leg system is the first of our Yingfu, and I heard that it has also applied for a patent and promoted it to other factories, hehe!"

Brother Xiao Qi didn't know how to answer, so he had to smile awkwardly.

"Don't worry!" Master Song pulled the apprentice into the locker room, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Screwing and welding steel frames are just for us secondary school students, how can the company be willing to waste you college students on the assembly line, and after a while, when you get used to it, you will be arranged to be transferred." ”

Fang Junqi was overjoyed, "That's not bad." ”

Unlike the small and beautiful Bee TV station, the Bee Shadow Auxiliary business is busy, and the demand for interns is more urgent. The company has long signed a cooperation agreement with secondary and higher vocational schools and even universities for practical training, and students often come here for internships.

"Of course it's good," Brother Song clapped his hands, "If you are asked to tighten the screws for two months, you may not know how to arrange and complain!"

Fang Junqi understood what the other party meant, and explained curtly: "It's different, the students will complain, the main thing is that the school takes money to sell the students, as long as the chicken legs are cashed in for equal pay for equal work, no one will have an opinion!"

"Don't worry, your chicken legs are indispensable!" Song Dacheng smiled, "Let's go, take you to the three canteens, the chicken legs with one leg over there are the best." ”

"Well, it's still not possible," Fang Junqi pointed outside, "My girlfriend is also interning here, I'll go to her later." ”

"Oh~!" Song Dacheng dragged out his voice, "Then I won't bother you, pay attention to rest at noon, and don't play too high!"

Fang Junqi was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but the other party had already changed his clothes and floated away.

Shaking his head, he sped up to change back into his clothes, and then picked up his phone to check the information.

In order to prevent leakage, it is strictly forbidden to carry private electronic products in the workshop, and there is no way to change mobile phones into landlines.

There were three missed calls, one was from my mother, one was an unfamiliar foreign number, and one was a sales call. called home first, Fang Junqi boasted a lot of earning more than a dozen chicken legs in half a day, and then hung up the call under the pretext of going to dinner.

Looking at the unread messages again, most of them are automatically pushed by the application, and the most noteworthy thing is only the big news that Yangcheng first mentioned "the same right to rent and sell". After browsing it roughly, he casually posted a comment, and then launched a friend dynamic push.

The first thing is naturally a series of photos and moods shared by Zhang Huan.

He couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her holding a glass of weird liquid and sipping it slowly. Fang Junqi clearly saw a variety of emotions on her face, such as tangled bitterness, unexpectedness, delicious gluttony, excitement and satisfaction.

Without hesitation, he liked this post, and then left a message to check in to indicate that he had been here.

Because of the delay in reading the information, Fang Junqi remembered to make an appointment for the shuttle bus, but he was depressed to find that the nearest empty car was a few hundred meters away. Thankfully, there are shared bikes available, but they don't fall to the point of walking to the TV station next door.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Junqi picked up his girlfriend, and the two walked into a canteen near the TV station together.

This is a cafeteria, and each person comes back in a circle, and Brother Qi's plate is chicken thighs, pig ears, grilled tenderloin, and only a few pieces of fruit for vegetarian food, and the characteristics of carnivores are exposed.

On the other hand, Zhang Huan only has a mixed fruit, a little boiled corn kernels, and two small snacks on her plate, which is several times less in weight and calories.

"Why do you eat so much?" Brother Qi felt that he needed to release his concern as a boyfriend.

Zhang Huan was admiring the color print pattern of the spoon handle, and casually poked it a few times in the plate when she heard the words, "No appetite!"

"That's just the food, the nutrition and energy are not good enough! Don't you have to lose weight again, right?"

Zhang Wan raised her head and glared at her boyfriend: "You are obsessive-compulsive!"

I dug a spoonful of fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it vigorously demonstratively, and then she said depressedly: "I don't want to do this either, but I can't help it if my appetite doesn't come, I can't force it to eat it, right?"

Glancing at the other party, Fang Junqi asked with a smile: "Could it be that I was stealing food at work, my stomach would have been full for a long time, right?"

"You're stealing it! It's mainly my job today, it's too bad. ”

"Oh?"

"If you watch all the previous episodes of 'Cooking Ring', you won't have an appetite. ”

Brother Qi shook cooperatively, "Forget it, it's not good to mention these things during dinner." ”

Reluctant to continue the topic, he changed to a new question: "By the way, what was the one you drank before, half a cup in one go, it looks delicious?"

Zhang Wan glared at him, "Don't ask about this, ask about suicide again!"

"Such a big reaction?"

Fang Junqi was still a little puzzled at first, but he quickly reacted, thinking of the other party's work unit, his eyes widened suddenly, "Don't really be a dark dish, right? Is it three fresh shrimp juice or winter melon and bean soup?"

"Neither," Zhang Wan pursed her mouth and muttered, "It's charcoal-roasted dried mealworms." ”

A mealworm, also known as a breadworm, is a small beetle.

The nutritional value of this insect is relatively high, and the larvae contain more protein and fat, which is a common source of animal feed. In the past, only farmers and owners of carnivorous ornamental fish such as Arowana and silver Arowana would raise or buy the bug, but now there are attempts to exploit its edible value.

Plant-based feed is rich in cellulose, people can only add a small amount to lose weight if they eat it, and animal feed rich in protein and fat has no trouble of digestion and absorption.

Bringing mealworms to the table and replicating the successful route of bee pupae, silkworm pupae, and bean dan is theoretically no problem, but in practice it will encounter legal, customary, and psychological obstacles. Even those who succeed in the latter are not very widely affected in the actual epidemic areas and consumer groups, not to mention mealworms that are not very good-looking.

Zhang Huan said with grievances: "I was actually deceived by my predecessors. She didn't let me see the real thing, just gave me a glass of freshly ground worm juice, and told me my name when I finished drinking. At that time, I couldn't help it, ran to the bathroom and vomited, and I was groggy and unenergetic all morning. ”

"Hey, who made you drink so much, now that you're in the cooking ring, you should have the consciousness to taste and enjoy dark cuisine. Seeing that you drank so much, I thought you had come to your senses and gave you a thumbs up. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhang Huan exclaimed, "Haven't I deleted the status yet?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she picked up her mobile phone to log in to Honeychat and found the GIF of "tasting a mysterious drink". was about to delete it, but Zhang Huan's fingers canceled from the click, expanded the list of likes and replies, and then clicked to save the long screenshot, and then deleted the state.

Noticing his girlfriend's movements, Brother Qi put down his chopsticks and asked curiously, "What do you do with screenshots?"

"I'm worried that I won't be able to play the audience index, so I'll invite you to the scene as an audience when I turn around. ”

"Forget it!" Fang Junqi was so frightened that he put down his chopsticks and waved his hands: "How about I introduce you to a few friends from the two Cantonese provinces?"

"No!" Zhang Wan shook her head amusedly, "The people over there have been exposed to it since childhood, even if they are not lovers of strange cuisine, their resistance to aliens is higher than that of ordinary people, so there will be no dramatic conflicts." It's hard to enjoy it, but it's easy to resist it, you know?"

"I see," Fang Junqi picked up the chopsticks again, took a few strands of pig ears and sent them to his mouth, chewed them, and then asked: "You have done a few issues of edible insects, I thought you had collected money from the insect farm!"

"Why? Didn't you see the reminder at the beginning of the show, 'Investment is risky, and insect farming needs to be cautious'?"

"Stock review programs still say that 'entering the market is risky'!

"Then there is no way, those who drown are those who know water, and those who lose money are greedy. ”

Nodding, Brother Qi said with deep sympathy: "I also really admire the courage and courage of those people, who want to operate food raw materials, but they don't understand food regulations, and they end up losing money and being fooled." ”

Article 34 of the Food Safety Law prohibits the use of non-food raw materials and processed food, and Article 37 stipulates that the use of new food raw materials shall be subject to an application to the health department for safety assessment. If the operator violates the regulations, he will be fined 5 to 20 times the value of the goods, and he will be investigated for criminal responsibility if he causes serious consequences.

Up to now, the health department only accepts frozen silkworm pupae as a local ingredient, and several other insects are not allowed to be used to produce food, and the allogeneic proteins in the insects cannot be completely denatured and hydrolyzed during processing, which may lead to allergies in a small number of consumers, and in severe cases, it may be life-threatening.

Virtually any ingredient that contains protein can cause an allergic reaction, but the gene for allergies to eggs, wheat, beef, and pork has been eliminated by "natural selection", and the current generation usually does not suffer from it. Peanuts, crayfish, insects, these "cutting-edge foods" have not undergone this procedure, and there are naturally more allergic reactions.

Of course, a small fight in a local restaurant to fry scorpions and grasshoppers and cook insect soup will not incur punishment or even arrest, as long as there are no safety accidents. But if it is fair and honest to set up a factory for production, it is suspected of violating the law. In this way, the so-called mealworm pot, mealworm drink, and bean dan to get rich are more insects that are raised to make feed under the guise of deception, and it is no problem to sell them in large quantities to restaurants and even food factories and canning factories, so it is better to wash and sleep.

Shaking her head, Zhang Wan looked at her boyfriend who was eating happily, "What are you eating?"

"This is a cold pork ear, why don't you try it?"

"Is it delicious?"

"This is the Guanzhong black pork produced by the Qinling Farm in Jiajing, is it okay if it is not delicious?"

"Which is the best pig known as the Internet double pig?"

Because of the high-profile pig breeding, Yiweiyang and Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry have become famous on the Internet, with countless fans and countless blacksters.

Fang Junqi nodded proudly, "That's right!"

Seeing that what he said was the way, Zhang Wan picked up the chopsticks and pinched one. Of course, there is no explosion of taste buds and delicious tears, but the taste is really good, and the crispy and spicy aroma is satisfying, so that she can't help but grab a few more chopsticks, but she soon stopped eating and put on a contemplative appearance.

Eating Jiajing pork, she suddenly thought of the feed problem. Large-scale breeding enterprises usually have their own feed mills, and this is especially true for enterprises that combine planting and breeding such as agriculture and animal husbandry. In this way, the origin of the previous cup of charcoal-roasted dried mealworms is also clear. Although she knew that the "ingredients" selected by the program team must be clean and hygienic, she was still a little uncomfortable.

"Why don't you eat it?"

"It's nothing," Zhang Huan shook her head slightly, "but something suddenly came to mind." ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Wan got up, "It's okay, you eat yours, I'll go find something else." ”
