Just when Wang Zhuoran was a little desperate, he accidentally found a small notice in the newspaper, that is, an advertisement for Ah Fa's recruitment assistant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info For Wang Zhuoran, it was like a man in the water grasping a life-saving straw, and he immediately came to the interview with eagerness.

A thin boy of seventeen or eighteen years old came in from outside the door, and Ah Fa looked him up and down until he saw the boy a little cramped and uneasy, and he realized that it was a bit rude.

"Come, little brother, sit down and talk." Anyway, it's good to try it when you come, Ah Fa said hello with a smile, and then ordered Xiaoqin, who was playing miscellaneous: "Pour tea, take fruit." ”

Wang Zhuoran entered the house, sat down a little crampedly, and secretly looked at this fake foreign devil who did not have braids. The fake foreign devil is very tall and doesn't seem to have the air of a scholar, so he has some suspicions that this guy is really doing chemical experiments.

Ah Fa smiled faintly and said, "Are you a student of the Canton Dialect Museum?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Wang Zhuoran quickly replied: "I heard that you are going to recruit an assistant to do chemical experiments, so I will give it a try." ”

Ah Fa nodded, and continued to ask, "Then what about your studies?" I mean, I need a full-time assistant, not the kind that comes in my free time. ”

Wang Zhuoran hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "The Cantonese dialect hall is about to close, oh, it's not closed, but a new enrollment with a new brand, and we will be dismissed soon." But I like chemistry very much, and if I can find a job to do it, I'm very willing. ”

Caifeng walked in, put the tea and fruit on the table, and slowly walked out.

Ah Fa had already asked several questions, and felt that the general situation was understood, so he smiled and motioned to Wang Zhuoran to drink tea and eat fruit, and said, "You're welcome, drink some hot tea and eat some fruit." ”

"Your official words are really good." Wang Zhuoran also relaxed a lot, took a sip of tea and said.

Ah Fa smiled faintly, tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair twice, and said, "Let's wait, because the two sides don't know each other very well, let's tentatively set up a probationary period." You and I can get used to each other, if you don't feel like you, you can go, if I don't think you're suitable-"

"I understand." Wang Zhuoran nodded, this fake foreign devil is very neat.

"Okay, let's go to the lab first." Ah Fa smiled and nodded, he had to see this young man's ability with his own eyes to rest assured. Moreover, observing his temperament is also a key factor in whether he can be kept.

Two days later, Wang Zhuoran moved over and immediately devoted himself to the chemistry experiments he loved, and was responsible for night shifts. Following the experimental procedures designed by Ah Fa, the two began the intense work of making MSG.

Just one day's work, Wang Zhuoran felt that he was really lucky this time. Not only does he earn six yuan a week, but Ah Fa's theoretical level seems to be much higher than that of the "Western Teaching Practice" of the Canton Dialect Museum, and he has never seen some experimental techniques. It can be said that he found an excellent chemistry teacher who posted upside down.

The flour is filtered with water to extract the gluten. Then put the gluten into a container, add an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, and heat it to hydrolyze. After the gluten is hydrolyzed into a liquid state, it is filtered and then vacuum-filtered to reduce the acidic components to a certain extent and become solid.

Then add alkaline water to the solid gluten to neutralize the residual acid in it, making the gluten transparent. Strain it again with charcoal to remove the original pigment from the flour. Alcohol is added to the liquid gluten, and this is when sediment begins. Finally, the precipitate is placed in a centrifuge to fluctuate, so that the alcohol volatilizes and the white crystalline particles - MSG are obtained.

It's as simple as that, it takes multiple experiments to establish an accurate record of the data, including the number of reagents, their purity, and the time of the reaction, in order to achieve the best results. With Wang Zhuoran's help, coupled with Ah Fa's correct method, the work of refining MSG is progressing rapidly, and Ah Fa knows that success is getting closer and closer to him.

But Ah Fa has another concern, and that is the sale of MSG. Transferring the results of the experiment to industrial production, mass production, and putting them on the market should not be a problem according to his current funds. However, it is not so easy to establish a sales network and promote Aji to thousands of households, and then to the whole country and even Asia.

Connections, this is another flaw of Ah Fa, and it is not easy to make up. One is not famous, the other is powerless, although he is the manager of the so-called agency company, he is still far from the circle of real Shanghai business people! Therefore, while paying attention to the available and ready-made resources, Ah Fa began to focus on the land he bought. If such a big stall is paved, it will naturally attract attention, and this reputation will naturally rise.

…………

Half a month later.

"Bang dang!" With a bang, the sound of the huge door being opened startled Ah Fa, followed by Wang Zhuoran's excited and somewhat hoarse voice, he ran in with a shout, stretched out a small paper bag in his hand to Ah Fa like a treasure, and shouted excitedly: "Sir, Mr. Chen, it's a success, it's a success, it's done, something has been made." ”

Ah Fa took the paper bag in surprise and opened it, there were a few grams of white crystalline particles inside, he stretched out his finger and dipped a little into it and put it in his mouth, well, this is the taste, delicious and abnormal. His eyes widened, his lips smacked, he slowly raised his head, looked at Wang Zhuoran's unkempt appearance, looked at his expectant and somewhat apprehensive gaze, and suddenly gave Wang Zhuoran a hug.

"Haha, yes, that's it." Ah Fa almost jumped for joy, and although he knew that the manufacture of Ajimoto was close to success, he did not expect it to be so soon.

"Good boy, good boy, promising." Ah Fa touched Wang Zhuoran's hair with his hand, looked at his bloodshot eyes, and his clothes that were corroded by acid and were torn holes, and praised again and again, "Great, amazing, you have created the world's first MSG, it's amazing." ”

Wang Zhuoran retreated embarrassedly, dodged Ah Fa's clutches, and said modestly: "I am just the executor of the steps formulated by Mr., and all this should be attributed to Mr. ”

"Good, good." Ah Fa appreciated Wang Zhuoran's simple quality even more, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go clean up, let's go out to eat tonight, it's a small treat for you." ”

Wang Zhuoran shook his head lightly and said, "It's good to eat at home, adding some MSG to the dishes and soups, and tasting it with my own mouth is the thing I'm most happy about." ”
