On the last day of May, Joey's grounding, a punishment from the crown princess that lasted more than a month, finally came to an end.

Originally, according to the idea of chatting with William last night, on Sunday of June 1, that is, today, Joey was going to go to Charlottenburg Palace with William to see the famous Grand Duke Sergei from Russia.

As soon as Joey reported the matter to his mother, the crown princess saw through her youngest son at a glance, and she resolutely forbade Joey to go to Charlottenburg Palace to cause trouble.

Now Joey is both respectful and afraid of his mother, who not only has a high level of pulling her ears, but the key is that she will also be grounded, and she is usually grounded in a trio. The three friends stayed in the room with big eyes, and couldn't go out with a large group of friends to play happily, and for the children, there was no greater punishment than this.

In addition to being forbidden, Joey also had to accept the increasingly strict court education of his queen grandmother, and the heavier homework assigned by the family professors, Joey felt that he had no choice but to listen to his mother.

It seems that he can't do it himself, even if he has the protection of the emperor's grandfather, but in the end he can't escape his mother's punishment. In short, fighting is a stupid thing that is not very cost-effective, and it is enough to do it once.

"But at such a young age, is it necessary to calculate everything so clearly? Isn't it also a pleasant thing to live a life of indulgence? Let's go quietly to Charlottenburg Palace! A little devil, whispering in Joey's ear.

"Don't ignore its temptation, keep your mother's words, it's not fun to be grounded!" A little angel patiently persuaded Joey.

After struggling for a long time, Joey finally chose to listen to her mother.

Since he can't accompany his eldest brother to see his rival, Joey decided to find a chance to go out on the only day of the week.

It was a question of going there in the bright spring light, and finally Joey's eyes fell on a letter on the desk.

This is a letter from Professor Friedrich Wühler the other day, on the one hand, to inform Joy that they have found an industrial method for the synthesis of potash and phosphate fertilizers, and on the other hand, to ask Joy if he has visited the company where Professor Liebig was alive.

Seeing Professor Weller's letter, Joey was ashamed and ashamed.

Originally, according to the plan, visiting Professor Liebig's company was one of the things Joey had to do in April, and the original plan was to go at the end of April, but because Joey was grounded by the crown princess, in Germany, where rules are rules, Joey could only stay behind closed doors and postpone the visit.

Joy was ashamed that he had been procrastinating for so long on the promise that Professor Willer would visit Professor Liebig's company as soon as possible.

Since he could not go to see the Grand Duke of Russia today, Joey decided to visit Professor Liebig's company in Berlin's Schönberg district on the first day after his lockdown was lifted.

Joey told the two friends about the idea, Dreyer and Stallin were also out of lockdown and were about to go out to get some air, when they heard that Joey was going to visit a company, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the two of them, and they both agreed to go with Joey.

In Joey's view, Joey's visit to scientists and industrialists is a serious matter, while playing football is an idle matter, and fighting is a bad thing.

But the crown princess completely forgot about Joey's age, in fact, playing football and fighting was the right thing to do at Joey's age.

Continuing with Sir Stokemar, the children set off quickly, and the carriage headed south of Berlin.

"Qiaoqiao, do you really know the owner of this company we're going to?" On the way there, Dreyer finally couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know Professor Liebig, but it was recommended by his good friend, Professor Wüller, and I have a letter of introduction from Professor Wüller." Joey was a little puzzled as to why Dreyer was asking himself that.

"Qiaoqiao, you didn't fake it, you lied to us, right?" Needless to say, Storling is the best at mending knives.

"Dear nephew, am I that kind of person?!" Joey smiled but asked viciously.

"Jojo, after all, everyone calls you Joey the braggart, and we're worried about it all the time." Now even Dreyer has learned Stoling's mending skills.

"Dirk, I repeat, I'm not the braggart Joey, the guns I'm talking about really exist. I've said it many times, Uncle Herman's factory is developing it, you bastards, sooner or later I'll prove it to you, and when the time comes, the facts will slap you in the face! Joey, who heard this nickname again, finally couldn't sit still.

"My grandfather said there was a gun that Joey designed, and that's true." Storling was there to say a fair word.

Joey was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Stoling, who was good at mending knives, almost made Joey angry with his next words, "There are drawings, but I can't take out the sample gun for two months, Dirk, in my opinion, this gun can't do it either!" ”

"It's not that the gun can't do it, it's that the smokeless propellant hasn't kept up, and now we have to consider using black powder to launch the propellant, so it's delayed, it's not a problem with the gun at all!" Joey waved his arms and said angrily, "And in order to adapt to several types of ammunition, there must be several sets of plans for the chamber and barrel, doesn't it take time to test!" ”

"No guns anyway!" Stallin shrugged his shoulders.

"In June, my dear nephew, Godfather Herman promised me that in early June, a gun using black powder will come out, and he is doing patent and new company registration in the past two days, and then your 50 gold marks, I will win!"

Then, Joey turned to Dreyer and said viciously, "Dirk, get your £2 ready, huh!" ”

"Hey, Jojo, get your chips ready, we're waiting to win your money in June! Anyway, in May we earned it! Storling stabbed Dreyer, and the two of them smirked.

After Easter, in order to prove that he was not a braggart, Joey deliberately used Kim Mark to make a bet with two die-hard friends, saying that there would be a new gun in May, but he didn't think that his godfather Sir Grushen's Magdeburg Machinery Company jumped the ticket and cheated Joey, who was already living in extreme poverty.

Joey then upped the stakes and was ready to win back in June.

Under the smiling gaze of Sir Stockhorse and the noise of the children, the carriage soon came to the door of the company that Professor Liebig had started before his death.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Joey looked at the billboard on the lintel of Professor Liebig's company, and was stunned first, and then Dreyer.

The billboard of Professor Liebig's company is very simple, with the logo of the products sold by Professor Liebig's company, on a red advertising board, with Professor Liebig's signature on the left and three large white fonts on the right: OXO.

The OXO trademark on the right is a brand that Joey is very familiar with in Joey's previous life, which was previously owned by Unilever in the United Kingdom, and then sold to the famous European meat trader, the British Vesty Brothers.

The OXO brand stands for delicious gravy and broth in Europe, and if you want to make a quick meal, then OXO gravy or broth powder packets are essential.

And the food magazine with the logo of OXO is also well-known in the European food scene.

At this point, Joey's mind suddenly thought that the giants who monopolized the food industry in his previous life were only ten large global companies that monopolized the world's major food and daily necessities brands.

Dreyer next to him was also surprised, the red background on the left with the English Libbig signature, this brand in London since 1865, is a well-known gravy and broth brand, is also Dreyer's favorite simple meal soup, just brew with boiling water to get a large bowl of thick and fragrant gravy, and with rice or bread, in Dreher's eyes, it is simply delicious.

After Dreyer came to Germany, although he ate well in the palace, he still missed this ready-to-eat gravy food from London.

Stallin looked at the two dead friends in a daze, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Jojo, Dirk, you guys are familiar with this advertisement?" ”

"Cooked! His gravy is delicious! Joey and Dreyer replied in unison, then looked at each other in surprise and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"How do you know?" Stallin asked even more surprised.

Sir Stokema touched Storling's head and smiled, "If you want to know why, let's go and see first." ”

When he entered Professor Liebig's company and saw the honor displayed on the wall, Joy remembered who Professor Liebig really was.

Baron Justus von Liebig, the world's pioneer in the field of organic chemistry and the greatest teacher of chemistry, although the pioneer himself died young, 42 Nobel laureates in chemistry were his students.

Baron Justus von Liebig ushered in the era of chemistry in Germany.

It was in a subsequent exchange with Professor Liebig's son, Baron Otto von Liebig, that Joey learned about the dilemma that Liebig's company was now facing.

In 1847, Professor Liebig invented the extraction technology of concentrated beef paste, and immediately officially disclosed the production technology to the European public.

The original beef paste resembled brown chocolate sauce in a glass jar, and it was the most effective nutritious food in Europe before the protein powder came out. It has even become the favorite food of London's middle class because of its good taste.

In 1862, a Belgian Georges Christian Gilbert learned that Professor Liebig had further improved the extraction technology of beef paste and turned meat paste into powder, and invited Professor Liebig to London to set up a new company to continue to produce beef paste and gravy powder on the other.

But in the ensuing collaboration, Professor Liebig and Gilbert had a serious clash of ideas.

One of the conflicts was the use of Liebig's name, Gilbert insisted that only his own company could use Professor Liebig's name, but Professor Liebig didn't care about it, and in his opinion, his name and the technology under his name should be a generic term rather than a patent, a public good for all.

The second conflict is the application of Liebig's technology, Gilbert insists on applying for a patent from the perspective of a businessman, while Professor Liebig insists that before everyone has equal access to cheap nutrients, oppose a certain company to monopolize its own technology, and should not seek huge profits from people's food health.

In the nineteenth century, there was no reliable refrigeration technology for transporting meat over long distances, so many Europeans could not get enough meat protein for every meal.

Professor Liebig's concentrated beef paste and concentrated beef powder technology can keep meat protein for a long time, not only does not lose nutrients, but also tastes excellent, and the emergence of this technology finally saved a large number of malnourished people in Europe.

The conflict between an entrepreneur and a humanist arose when, after the death of Professor Liebig in 1874, Gilbert took back the shares held by Professor Liebig and threw his son, Baron Otto von Liebig, out of the company.

Baron Otto von Liebig returned to Berlin, Germany, in a fit of rage, and last year reinstated his father's Berlin company as Liebig Meat Extraction Company, and took out the OXO trademark, which was supposed to appear many years later.

In order to open the market faster, he also took out the corned beef canning technology that Professor Liebig had just invented before his death, and prepared to revive the reputation of his father and family in Germany.

However, because Uruguay's meat source was monopolized by the Belgian Gilbert's company of Fra Ibentos, Baron Otto von Liebig's company was now in a dilemma of lack of meat source, and production and operation came to a standstill.

That's why Professor Willer appeared, hoping that Joey would help Professor Liebig's company.

In any case, in Joey's opinion, it is reasonable for him to help Professor Liebig's son.

Professor Liebig is a great man, he will transfer and spread his technology for free, and would rather let more companies produce cheap protein nutrition products to save the world, rather than monopolize the technology to make money, and on this alone, Joy feels that he has the responsibility to help Professor Liebig's descendants.

Professor Liebig's beef paste and powder, as well as corned beef, have great use in the field of disaster resistance and warfare, and these two technologies need to be used as a matter of course.

Canned food is the most important product type in the food industry, and the future fast food and ready-to-eat industries depend on the development of canned food.

Even according to Baron Otto von Liebig, there was even a method for the production and preservation of low-temperature beef pies in Professor Liebig's notes, which made Joey suddenly think of a famous pizza brand in later generations.

Since then, the concept of what kind of food giant to create has been formed in Joey's head.

"Grain flour can solve the problem in Europe, but what about meat?" This question has always bothered Joey.
