515 Canneries
Think about the past, when I was in my hometown, I was often forced by the landlord to work long hours for them.
Those grandsons not only don't care about your food, but they also want you to work for them all day long.
Not to mention letting you eat, but not even giving you time to rest.
What's like here?
After an hour of work, the foreman would let everyone rest for a while, and from time to time he would bring out something for everyone to eat.
Then at noon, we will organize everyone to have lunch, and we will give such delicious food.
After eating this bowl of broth, Tulih had just finished eating the bread in his hand.
At this moment, he looked at the bowl in his hand, and even felt the urge to cry, this place is too good!
Just as he was thinking nonsense, a group of people were greeted by the foreman again.
Let them hurry up and bring the wooden bowl and spoon in their hands to the sink in front.
Then everyone hurried out of the shed, because there would soon be a second wave of temporary workers coming here for dinner.
It turned out that the canteen for temporary workers was separate from the canteen for regular workers in the factory.
Because of the large number of temporary workers, everyone has to come to eat separately at different times.
The group got up according to the foreman's instructions, lined up, and then walked to the outside of the shed in order.
Take the wooden bowl and spoon in your hand and send it to a sink in front of you.
In front of the sink, another group of temporary workers are standing by the sink and washing dishes.
These are the temporary workers who have come to help in the cafeteria today, and most of these people are elderly people and women.
It seems that the human resources department of this development zone really understands what it means to make the best use of things.
And in doing so, they have done their best to ensure that more people can have food......
Tulih and the others came to the outside of the shed, where the foreman told them to line up and rest in place for a while.
After about half an hour, the foreman beckoned them to work again.
Their first job in the afternoon was to go to a workshop behind the cannery on the other side.
As soon as I entered this workshop, I smelled the stench of the place.
Many people almost didn't get smoked and vomited, Tulih was fine, anyway, when he was working in his hometown.
He didn't do any less work to clean the pigsty and cowshed, so he could stand the smell.
The workshop was steaming hot, and there were several large pools in it.
Inside are all kinds of animal offal soaked in hot water.
What pig intestines, cow intestines, but also pig liver, beef lungs, etc......
Originally, the natives here would not have eaten these waters.
Because they don't have a way to deal with the water, and they don't know how to eat the offal.
And they don't know how to preserve these things, so the hunters here, even if they hunt the prey, most of the selva are directly thrown away.
And after Yang Yinuan came, he discovered this problem.
In his opinion, this is a waste!
You must know that there are many people here who can't fill their stomachs!
And these animal offal, although not necessarily delicious, but in fact, this is also a very nutritious protein!
As long as you handle it properly, this thing is actually a very good nutritional supplement!
Ever since the canning factory was built, he had no intention of sparing the animal entrails.
So after the animals are slaughtered, the meat is cut and sent to the front workshop.
Some of them will be made directly into whole pieces of canned meat.
At the same time, the cannery will launch another canned luncheon meat.
This kind of product belongs to the formula product.
A certain amount of meat is used in the form of leftovers, and then a large proportion of animal offal and flour are mixed with it......
Of course, these ingredients are mixed together in a large meat grinder before they are made into luncheon meat.
The meat grinder will mix the minced meat, as well as the internal organs of the animals, and a certain percentage of flour.
In this process, a certain proportion of oil and various spices are added.
These spices can fully suppress and remove the odor of these animal organs.
Then through a squeezer, it is squeezed into the tanks, and then a piece of sea salt is placed in each tank......
These tanks are then transported by conveyor belt to the front cooking workshop.
Here, the tanks are neatly arranged on the cooking iron rack.
Then on top of the jar, a cork will be placed, just a superficial plug.
This cooking rack is then pushed into the large steamer in front.
Here, steaming takes place for several hours.
This process is the process of high-temperature sterilization, and the meat filling in the canned food is also cooked and shaped.
At the same time, due to the thermal expansion, the cork on the mouth of the can slid off due to the expansion of the can, and it was stuck in the mouth of the can.
Once the cans are cooked through, they are pushed out and left to cool on the outside.
In this process, the canned bottle shrinks coldly, and it will be corked to death.
In this way, the process of natural containment is completed.
Once the cans have cooled completely, workers apply a layer of wax between the cork and the finish of the bottle, as required.
In this way, the cans are completely sealed and isolated, and there is no need to worry about the outside air entering the tank.
There is no need to worry about the canned food going bad.
And through this local method, the canned food made is stored for a long time.
It is not a problem to have as little as half a year, or as long as three or five years.
This greatly solves the problem of meat storage in this era.
To say that in the past, the people of the north lived in the Handa grassland, and it stands to reason that there was no shortage of meat.
But why is it that every year after the winter, there are often famines in the tribe and the village?
In fact, it is because most of the cattle and sheep will freeze to death in winter, and in spring, they cannot store these beef and mutton, and they will rot and spoil.
And the other livestock, because they have just passed the winter, are very thin, and they don't have meat at all.
As for the grain, after the winter, it was almost consumed.
So many people go hungry in the early spring and summer.
And then there are those hunters, after killing their prey in the summer, they no longer have to worry about not being able to eat.
Now with this rudimentary technique of canning food, people here no longer have to worry about the meat that they can't eat will spoil.
After an afternoon of working in the cannery, a group of people finally cleaned the water from the large pools and cleaned them up.
And the foreman was very satisfied with their performance, even if it was dark, he was in no hurry to let them go...
