Huang Cansheng is in his early forties this year, a native of Honggang in the eastern country, and everyone he knows calls him Boss Huang. This Boss Huang has a very business vision, more than ten years ago, he went to the southernmost part of the Black Wilderness Continent Mande, and opened a seafood factory, specializing in processing high-grade soft-hearted dried abalone, which was exported to the Red Harbor or the island country of Sangben at first, and later mainly exported to the East China.

Mande's beach reefs are suitable for abalone, and the local species of abalone are processed into soft-hearted dried abalone, which is the size of an average of five abalones. The so-called five-headed abalone is a unique saying in the eastern country, that is, one pound can weigh five.

Then the seven-head abalone is a pound can be called seven, one size smaller than the five-head abalone, which refers to the processed dry abalone after the shell, the most exaggerated is the more than two abalone, two can weigh more than a catty......

Dried abalone must be processed in a complete way to remove excess parts and brush off the protective color of the surface, and then air dry. The drying method is different according to the humidity, temperature and light intensity, mainly to let it ferment naturally in the air-drying process, and form a soft soft core inside it, the color is bright yellow and reddish, and there is a layer of hoarfrost on the surface.

Fresh abalone that is not large enough and of poor quality cannot be processed into soft-hearted abalone. The coastal areas of the eastern region also produce good quality abalone, such as the port city of Binhai in the northeast, where the latitude is higher and the water temperature is lower, the abalone grows slower, the meat is tighter, the umami is more abundant, but the taste is slightly harder.

But there are a lot of people in the east, and there are many old people on the seaside, and they go to the sea when they encounter the ebbing tide, and after so many years, there are no slightly larger wild abalone on the offshore reefs. Now artificial breeding has begun, but the growing conditions of farmed abalone are still relatively harsh, and the growth rate in seawater is relatively slow, which is different from raising chickens and pigs.

The situation in Mande is different, with a long coastline with many reef beaches, and when the tide is low, there are opportunities to be full of large abalone. Boss Huang watched a documentary about Mande in Red Harbor, mainly about the country's reform history, and several of the shots swept across the beach, and his eyes were straight at that time.

He took a sum of money to Mande to set up a processing factory, hired local residents to pick, clean, and dry abalone, and his own boss also served as a technician, guiding the whole process, and finally trained a group of skilled workers, and then the business was on the right track, and he also made a lot of money over the years.

The law and order in Mande Country is not very good, and many shops are often robbed, but Boss Huang's processing factory has not been greatly affected. Because there is nothing to grab here, it is all abalone that is being processed or waiting to be processed. As for the money, who will put the cash in the factory, the processed products are directly exported, and the payment is sent to the bank account.

The locals don't eat abalone, they don't even know it's edible, let alone how to eat it. Fresh abalone is still like this, and you won't eat dried abalone, this thing looks like a piece of dry hard glue, you can't bite it, and you can't cook it.

The cooking method of soft-boiled abalone is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, first of all, it takes several days to prepare the ingredients for soaking, even if it is a simple method, the cooking process takes at least a whole day, and it must be accompanied by various accessories such as ham, stock, and juice.

Even if you tell the locals, they can't do it, and who can go that much extra mile to eat a cauliflower? If it is exported to the East, it is usually only sold in high-end restaurants, and a five-head abalone can be sold for thousands of East Country dollars, and you have to make a reservation in advance if you want to order it.

This is also due to the rapid economic development of Dongguo in recent years, many people have become rich, and they have begun to pursue the enjoyment of life of "never getting tired of eating".

Boss Huang has opened a processing factory in Mande for more than ten years, and has experienced many frightening moments, but he has survived safely, but recently his business has been ruined.

First of all, the local bodyguard he hired was against the water, and I don't know which force he colluded with to rob the cash that had just been withdrawn from the bank and was ready to be used for payroll.

Then rumors came out of nowhere that his factory had destroyed the local environment, and even more exaggerated rumors that it had disturbed the gods. The factory was smashed, and many of the abalone that were being processed and processed before they could be transported away were burned down by the mob.

Small events also have a big background. Due to the recent economic downturn in Mandeguo, the security of the neighborhood where the processing plant is located has deteriorated dramatically due to various reasons. On overseas social media and other online media, I don't know who created the rumors, just say that they are a group of businessmen from the East who have robbed local resources and created this crisis.

Immediately afterwards, an old worker secretly told Huang Cansheng that someone wanted to kidnap him. This old worker is a local aborigine, and he is also the first factory backbone to work with Boss Huang, and he still has a lot of feelings for Boss Huang.

To Boss Huang's surprise, the mastermind behind his kidnapping turned out to be a local "compatriot" and a friend he made after coming to Mande. The person's name is Chen Fan'an, a dual national of Yinguo and Mandeguo, his father came to Mande from Red Port, and his ancestors are also of Chinese descent from Dongguo.

Boss Huang couldn't help but scold in his heart, what is more hateful than foreign devils is this kind of two devils, who call themselves compatriots when they have benefits, but when they turn around, they can sell you and stab you in the back.

Boss Huang is very rich, and there are not many friends who can communicate smoothly in his mother tongue in the local area, and he has actually given Chen Fanan a lot of benefits over the years, borrowing a lot of money to help him do business.

scolded and scolded, but Huang Cansheng couldn't help it, he heard that the other party was going to act that night, and he didn't have time to flee elsewhere, so he urgently got on a ship with the help of the old worker and came to the port of Africa.

It was a passenger ship belonging to the Port Authority of the African Port Company, sailing along the coastline in the offshore area, carrying about 200 passengers, almost all of them of Chinese descent from the East, who had left the city of Mande for various reasons.

Most of them learned through the Chinese online media that in recent years, there is a place in the city of Feisuo Port in the country where the security environment and development prospects are very good, and the Chinese people of Eastern descent are welcome to work or travel, and the local government even promises to provide safety and security and job opportunities.

This is actually a special publicity by Huanxiang Industry, which was planned by Vice President Lei Dajin and Cui Wanhe, head of the Cultural and Publicity Department, and sent out messages through various Chinese social media, and even the passenger ship was arranged by Huanxiang Industry through relationships.

Huang Cansheng was one of the few people on the ship who did not know the inside information, and the situation was urgent, and when he heard that the ship was going to the port of Africa, he came up with a suitcase. A business associate he had known in his early years and a good friend was now in Porto Feso, and he was also involved in a gang selling straw sandals, and the two were in regular contact.

He planned to defect to this friend first, and then turn back to Red Harbor depending on the situation, Mandeguo's business could not be done, and if there was an opportunity on the side of Fei Suo Harbor, it was not impossible to consider starting a new business. In fact, he has also made a lot of money over the years, even if the processing plant is gone, it is not a nerve.

However, when he arrived at Filso, he was stunned by what he saw. A friend came to pick him up at the pier, and the two of them actually walked through the local neighborhood, which is too risky, right?

According to his many years of life experience in the Black Wilderness Continent, and according to some of his impressions of hearsay on the National Highway of several miles, it is best not to trespass into unfamiliar neighborhoods, and it is best to drive along the main road.

Like the two typical Chinese faces of the East, without local guides and bodyguards, walking through the streets and alleys like shopping is simply a target to attract robbery. What should I do if my money and documents are robbed? If you don't get it right, you'll die!

My friend smiled and shook his head and said it didn't matter, this was the Kling District, and he was from the New Alliance.

It's not too surprising that the International Dock is neat, and it's not uncommon for the local neighborhood buildings to be a bit cluttered. What really surprised Boss Huang was that the streets and alleys here were clean, and there was no sewage flowing and debris littering.

There are large garbage cans with wheels at every street corner, and they are especially sorted!

Every few intersections, there is a brand new and beautiful building, and when you get closer, you can see that it is actually a public toilet. These are obviously recent, and there is a unified planning and design and formal construction.

In front of the building, there is a bilingual sign in Dongyin: XXXX is strictly forbidden in public toilets, and offenders will be fined for three days.

Who would do that in a public toilet? But with the temperament of the local aborigines, it is not certain! But how can the unit of the fine be "days"? Puzzled, Boss Huang asked his friend for advice again.

The friend explained with a smile that the so-called fine was to work for three days without compensation at the construction site designated by the new alliance. Most of the local natives are illiterate and can't read either Yinwen or Dongguo, but it's okay, do you see those with yellow armbands?

It's the chubby local indigenous aunt, who patrols each neighborhood in pieces, and also uses local language to publicize it in place.

After walking a short distance, Boss Huang heard a loud and rhythmic singing, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, this should be an old song of the Eastern Kingdom "We Workers Have Power".

The song is sung in the local local language, and Boss Huang can't understand it, and the tune seems to have been appropriately adapted to become more rhythmic, but it can still be heard.

Immediately afterwards, Boss Huang saw a group of local natives carrying rattan silk brooms, walking in line in front of them with neat steps, their dark skin shining in the sun, and they were all refreshed.

After a song, the leader of the squad shouted the password, and they continued to sing, still the same song, but this time it was changed to Eastern Chinese!

Boss Huang's eyes were so shocked that they were about to fall, but when he looked at the friend next to him, he didn't look surprised. The pronunciation of these black wilderness natives in Eastern Chinese is not very standard, but it can basically make an Eastern people understand what words are being sung.

Boss Huang even had to admit that just as far as this song is concerned, if he sings it himself, it will not be more standard than the pronunciation of the Black Wilderness natives in front of him.

Boss Huang knows Dongguo Mandarin and can understand and speak it completely, but he usually only speaks dialects, and on many occasions he only calls himself a Honggang person, and on other profitable occasions he calls himself a compatriot from the East, with a cunning spirit in his bones.

But today's scene really shocked him, and he suddenly felt as if he had come to the wrong place, but he was inexplicably relieved, and he was no longer as scared as he was when he first got off the boat.
