Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

As the first country to complete the industrial revolution in the early days, the price paid by the United Kingdom is not low.

Among them, in terms of diet, the British made great concessions.

Due to global trade and the industrial revolution, most of the British people were concentrated in factories, and the heavy work caused many British people to not pay too much attention to their daily diet.

Especially the lower class people in the UK, in the early days, in order to fill their stomachs, the staple food was the same, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes...

Busy people don't care about what to eat. A single food with heavy oil, salt and taste is the daily staple food of workers.

This subtle change, due to long-term accumulation, has already numb people's sense of taste.

The monotonous and "make do" eating habits have become the daily routine of most working class.

Britain was the first country in Europe to achieve industrialization first, and it was also the country with the most thorough industrialization. In the early days, in order to develop the economy, more than [-]% of the people in the country were transformed into textile workers.

Without the living space of agriculture, the British wanted to obtain food. When the commercial trade in the early days was not as developed as in the 21st century, the food materials were naturally not as abundant as in later generations.

The single ingredients make it very difficult for the British to make their favorite delicacies.

What really changed the diet of the British mainly came from 'crazy canned food'.

In addition to the rapid economic development brought about by industrialization, another "result" is genuine industrial products with a long shelf life, low transportation costs, and low prices.

Among them, canned food is the most important industrial product.

In fact, the technology of sealed cans was first invented by the French. At that time, Napoleon wanted to solve the problem of food supply for the army, so the French combined the existing practical experience and invented the technology of sealing metal cans with high-temperature sterilization and produced canned food.

The appearance of canned food has greatly improved the shelf life of food.

However, for the French who are very particular about their diet, canned food is just a substitute for extraordinary times.

In the eyes of the French, it can only be used as an urgent need, not as the main food in people's daily life.

But for the British, it's a lifesaver.

Due to the living environment at that time, canned food became popular in the UK. With advanced industrial technology and production lines, the British produced meat, fish, vegetable soup, and candied fruit one by one, and turned them into canned food.

For British workers, the taste is not the primary consideration. Their first consideration is whether they can fill their stomachs and ensure that they will not starve to death.

On the other hand, the British army spread all over the world, and canned food has become the main food in the daily life of British soldiers.

In the life of the army, everything is kept simple, especially in the early days when people kept food fresh, there was no way to achieve the level of later generations.

Therefore, in many cases, it is already a very luxurious thing for the army to be able to eat canned food. The taste and other things are too high-demanding, and ordinary people can't enjoy it at all.

In addition to the impact of the Industrial Revolution, one is World War I and World War II, which lasted almost ten years.

During the war years, canned food and other industrial foods were very important to the civilian class. The two wars of World War I and World War II severely hit the British agricultural trade around the world.

Under the strict rationing system, canned food became the only guarantee of life for the civilian class, and even some upper classes lost their exclusive cooks due to financial constraints during the war.

After the two world wars, the baptism from top to bottom, when the economy has recovered, the British food culture has long been broken.

Some of the British cuisine may still be seen in the royal family and the aristocratic class. The folk food culture has long been replaced by French, Italian and Indian cuisine.

Therefore, this is why Uncle Xiang said that British food is not considered food in the eyes of Chinese or other foreigners.

After all, it is difficult for the British to resonate with everyone in terms of taste.

Chapter 736 Never had dinner with the Prime Minister

The next day

london airport

After getting off the plane, Li Lizhen and other ATV crew members walked towards the airport exit.

During the security check, Li Lizhen couldn't bear to ask Guan Zhilin beside him: "Sister Jiahui, do you think my brother will come to pick us up?"

"This, it should be!" Guan Zhilin said with some uncertainty.

This time her coming to London is different from Li Lizhen's coming to see Yang Chen. She is the accompanying guest of this food show. Every episode of Cai Xuan's food show will invite one or two accompanying stars to be guests, so as to attract more viewers Viewers pay attention to food programs.

Although Cai Lan is eloquent and knowledgeable, it is obviously impossible for the audience to stare at a big man all day long. There are beautiful celebrities or handsome celebrities, which naturally attract more attention.

Guan Zhilin has recorded two food shows with Cai Lan before, and with her face, she has indeed attracted a lot of traffic for the food show.

This time, Cai Lan asked Li Lizhen to be the host with him, and Guan Zhilin continued to be the accompanying guest. The purpose was to pair up with Boss Yang. One man and one woman, two hosts, two guests...

security checkpoint

After everyone passed the security check, Cai Lan put down the phone, walked to Li Lizhen, and said, "Miss Li, the boss has called, and he has already sent someone to pick us up. The car is outside, let's get out quickly! "

Li Lizhen: "Brother, didn't he come?"

Cai Lan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either, I think it should be outside!"

He didn't know if Boss Yang himself was here, anyway, he was happy no matter whether Boss Yang came to pick up the plane or not, as long as Boss Yang showed up for this show, everything would be fine.

airport exit

Junzi, who came to pick up the plane, saw Li Lizhen coming out of the airport passageway, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Miss Li"

Li Lizhen looked around, but didn't find Yang Chen's figure. Looking at Junzi who was smiling at her, she pouted and said, "Brother Junzi, are you alone?"

"Miss Li, the boss is busy with something and is waiting for you at home. He asked me and Secretary Lan to pick you up."

As he spoke, Junzi leaned slightly and introduced to Li Lizhen, "This is Secretary Lan."

Seeing the blue beauty, Li Lizhen immediately dismissed Yang Chen's displeasure at not coming to pick her up, blinked her big eyes, stared at the blue beauty, and said, "I heard about you, Sister Alian mentioned it to me. .”

"Hello, Miss Li, the boss asked me to pick you up."

The blue beauty stretched out her hand to Li Lizhen with a smile on her face, and she was very kind. Compared with Xue Yufei and Li Lizhen, who was about her age, the blue beauty felt much closer to Li Lizhen.

Li Lizhen looked at the blue beauty who was even more handsome than her, looked her up and down for a while, and said enviously, "Sister Lan, where did you buy this dress, it's so beautiful!"

Not to mention, Lan Mei's appearance in uniform was really attractive, even Cai Lan beside Li Lizhen couldn't help but take a second look when she saw her.

The blue beauty smiled and said, "It was designed by the boss. If Ms. Li likes it, you can go to Ms. Xue after returning to Xiangjiang. This dress is handmade by the masters of Xue's manufacturing industry, and it has not been sold in the world."

The uniform she was wearing was designed by Yang Chen himself. No matter it is a formal occasion or leisure time, she can be worn out. It is very convenient, and most importantly, it is very eye-catching without being exposed.

"Oh." Li Lizhen nodded, "I'll ask Sister Xue to help me do some extra bodywork some other day."

After Secretary Lan finished speaking with Li Lizhen, he immediately greeted Cai Lan and Guan Zhilin: "Hello, Mr. Cai, Miss Guan"
