Without waiting for Qin Chuan to explain, Sheng Xuanhuai said proudly to Clinde: "Mr. Clinde, this is a new type of disinfectant invented by Mr. Qin, spraying this disinfectant in the workshop is to prevent the meat used to make canned food from getting stained." Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info . . . . ”
"Bacteria."
Seeing that Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't call out the new term bacteria that Qin Chuan said, Zhang Shiheng on the side hurriedly reminded Sheng Xuanhuai.
"Yes, bacteria. Mr. Qin said that there will be many bacteria in the air, some bacteria are good for people, some will make people sick, these small things will make us make canned raw meat rotten and spoiled to varying degrees, if you don't kill these invisible small things, these meat will be stained, and if you don't do it well, it will affect the shelf life of canned food. ”
At this time, the understanding of bacteria in Europe and the United States was still very rudimentary, and it was only in the last few decades that it was basically known that there would be microorganisms in the air, and even the term bacteria only appeared in the West 30 years ago. As for the ability of germs to cause disease, there is no concept at all in the West.
Qin Chuan swiped his hand in the air and explained: "Ministers, gentlemen, you should all know the bacteria, in order to ensure that the meat used to make canned food is not contaminated with or less contaminated with bacteria in the air, prolong the shelf life of the meat, and ensure the health of the people who eat my canned food, I invented this disinfectant, just like the pasteurizer that you use in the West to kill the bacteria in milk." It's just that my disinfectant can't be added to cans, but can only be used for spraying to kill bacteria in the air. ”
American Minister Gu Sheng asked Sheng Qinchuan suspiciously: "Why haven't we heard of this disinfectant?" ”
Qin Chuan didn't understand English, so he had to look at Sheng Xuanhuai.
Sheng Xuanhuai proudly told in English: "This is something invented by Mr. Qin alone, and now it is only available in our Daqing Dynasty, and it has not yet been patented by you, so you naturally don't know about this disinfectant." ”
"Oh." The foreigners let out a sigh.
Sheng Xuanhuai became more and more proud, without Qin Chuan to lead the way, he led these people into the workshop, the second door, and only after entering this door could he really enter the raw meat processing workshop.
The raw meat processing workshop designed by Qin Chuan is not large, more than 50 meters long and 112 meters wide, the walls of the room are hung with cement surfaces, and the ground is paved with clean bluestone slabs, the only difference is that the ceiling is hanging. Not only here, but also in the canning workshop.
In the workshop, behind two long boards more than 20 meters long and more than one meter wide, there are more than 20 workers wearing overalls with sleeves and white bucket hats, each of whom has a gauze mask on his face and a bright boning steel knife in his hand.
In the passage behind these workers, several workers pushed small carts, first placing the meat, bones, and grease packed in bamboo baskets on different carts, and then pushing them to one end of the workshop to rinse with clean water.
On the top wall there are five thick wooden doors, which are pushed by bone and grease into the wooden doors on the sides, and the meat is loaded into six tiers of iron racks of less than two square meters, and then pushed into the remaining four steaming doors, which are firmly closed.
In the aisle between the two rows of meat tables, people are constantly using small carts to distribute the freshly slaughtered pork and beef to the vacated meat tables.
In the workshop of more than 40 people, it is well organized, except for the sound of "ping pong" chopping meat and removing bones, and then the sound of rushing water.
Qin Chuan told these ministers and managers that his workshop can process 10,000 catties of raw meat per day, and if necessary, the production capacity can be doubled. The decomposition, cleaning and classification of meat are completed in this workshop, and the meat is directly sent to the canning factory next door through the steaming wooden doors, and the various workshops of the canning factory are strictly disinfected, and the hot air in the door is the isolation and disinfection room, which is to avoid bacteria from entering the canning factory workshop. As for the fat, it can only be frozen and stored for the time being, and some of the removed pork ribs and bones with meat are kept for the workers to eat for lunch, and some are sold in the market.
The cannery, next to the slaughterhouse, was much cleaner, with only a handful of masons finishing touches on the yard, and workers in blue overalls coming and going in and out of a newly built factory from time to time.
The sight of washing one's hands and face, clean rubber boots, and snow-white kaftans when entering the canning workshop was a novelty for the managers of foreign ministers who had visited the slaughterhouse and praised them. Qin Chuan told them through Sheng Xuanhuai that this is also a disinfection and purification measure, and the purpose is to strictly ensure that bacteria from the outside world are not brought into the workshop to avoid indoor bacteria not exceeding the standard.
And in order to maintain the environment in the workshop, in this canned food production workshop, Qin Chuan only allowed Sheng Xuanhuai to lead those ministers in, and those foreign managers could only wait outside.
This workshop is much larger than the slaughterhouse, because Qinchuan has reserved a large area for expanding production.
When he was in the concession, Qin Chuan ordered this set of canning processing equipment from Germany, only paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and ordered a set, because he had no extra money, and he bought chemical experimental instruments and small chemical manufacturing equipment for the rest of the 5,000 marks, and some chemical products that are not available in the West now, he could only make them himself in the empty warehouse of the dyeing factory and Chu Yuntao, which was not only Qin Chuan and Chu Yuntao's laboratory, but also his small workshop for manufacturing chemical products.
In the long workshop, starting from the end of the slaughterhouse, the meat is steamed, stirred and added various spices, and after entering the canning machine, it will be distributed to a row of boards waiting for the sealing, where someone uses a manual sealing machine to seal the seal, and a thin layer of paraffin is applied to the iron seal.
Coating a thin layer of paraffin wax on the seal is an insurance measure taken by Qin Chuan who is worried that the manual sealing machine is not tightly sealed.
To the surprise of the ministers, a white powdery crystal was added during the stirring of the meat, which quickly dissolved in warm water before being added to the meat.
Sheng Xuanhuai told these ministers that this crystal is also Qin Chuan's invention, which is used to extend the shelf life of canned food, and now it is the secret of Qin Chuan's canning factory, and his canned food can be kept for so long because of this white crystal.
After visiting the cannery, the ministers of various countries, as well as the managers of the foreign banks who listened to the surprised narration of the ministers, were shocked to discuss, they never expected that there would be more advanced factories in the Qing Dynasty than in Europe and the United States.
Speaking of advanced, it is not that the equipment of the two factories in Qinchuan is advanced, but that the layout, setting and concept of the two factories in Qinchuan are more advanced. For example, disinfection technology and antiseptic technology are now possessed by second-rate countries such as Europe and the United States, not to mention Japan.
How can the quality of the products produced in such a factory be bad?
What's more, they have all tasted the taste of two kinds of canned luncheon meat from pigs and cows.
