Siheyuan, don't yell at me

Although sugar making and wine making have different techniques, they are essentially the same.

Both require the use of specific crops to complete the saccharification and fermentation process, with only slight differences in the final steps.

One is distilled to make wine, the other is boiled to make syrup.

He Daqing has two powerful tools in his hands: edible flavors and saccharin. No matter what kind of syrup, he can change the taste as he wishes by just slightly mixing it.

At this time, a truck loaded with corn flour was slowly driving into the Red Star Winery.

Under He Daqing's careful planning, the workers handled the flour as skillfully as they would sorghum rice, first cooking the flour until done and then spreading it evenly to promote its saccharification and fermentation.

A few days later, in a factory building of the Red Star Distillery, a pot of golden syrup had been successfully boiled by workers.

Next, He Daqing added an appropriate amount of edible flavoring and sprinkled in a little saccharin.

In a moment, the originally golden syrup gradually turns into an attractive orange-yellow color, while exuding bursts of refreshing orange aroma.

The syrup was evenly poured into several large iron basins with a thickness of about one centimeter and allowed to cool automatically.

After a while, the syrup cooled down.

He Daqing took out the candy from the iron basin. It was a whole round piece of candy. The orange-yellow candy looked very pretty and could be seen clearly in the light.

Without much effort, he broke off a small grain and put it into his mouth.

That’s right, this is what He Daqing wanted, orange-flavored fruit candy.

He Daqing handed the candy in his hand to Secretary Jiang.

"Lao Jiang, try some of the fruit candies produced by our Red Star Winery.

I think our fruit candies taste better than the ones in Shanghai.

Come on, everyone, don't just stand there, come and have a taste.

I, He Daqing, am in charge of this pot of sugar. Everyone present here can share some and take some home so that your family can also taste its sweetness.

Lao Jiang, go find Director Yang of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and ask him to help produce a batch of candy molds.

When the time comes, pour the syrup into the mold, and you can make it square if you want it, or round if you want it..."

He Daqing reached out and broke off another piece of candy, then rushed out of the workshop.

I drove the car to the Ministry of Public Security.

Having made a contribution, He Daqing of course chose to report it as soon as possible so that his superiors could see it in person.

Since He Daqing was promoted, he no longer has the habit of knocking when entering Minister Lin’s office.

I pushed the door open and walked in. It was a familiar office and there were two familiar old acquaintances.

One is Minister Lin and the other is Professor Wu.

He Daqing was a little confused. How could Professor Wu and Minister Lin sit together? They were not from the same world.

Minister Lin glared at He Daqing fiercely and cursed this unruly guy in his heart.

But he was too lazy to say anything more, so he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, no need to explain. You've come at the right time. This is Professor Wu from Qinghua University. He's looking for you."

After hearing this, He Daqing nodded towards Minister Lin to indicate that he understood.

Then he turned his gaze to Professor Wu, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He scratched his head and asked in confusion:

"Old Wu, if you want to find me, why don't you just go to the Red Star Winery?

Why did you come to Minister Lin?

We are old friends. Are you planning to report me to Minister Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Wu couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"He Daqing, what nonsense are you talking about!

This time it's not me who's looking for you, but an old friend of yours wants to see you.

Vice President Paul, you should still remember him, right? "

When He Daqing heard the name "Vice President Paul", his expression changed slightly and his brows furrowed tightly.

He murmured to himself:

"Hmm? What does that old guy want from me?

Could it be that he is still brooding over what happened in the past and wants to take revenge on me?

How did he get involved with you?"

An ominous premonition came to his mind, making He Daqing feel very uneasy.

You know, that old guy Paul is an important researcher and researcher at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of the Moscow Engineering Institute.

He Daqing kidnapped him back to China. Now, that old man Paul has come looking for He Daqing. How could anything good happen?

Professor Wu ignored He Daqing's expression and continued:

"He Daqing, last year, I talked to you about going to Lop Nur.

That time, you refused.

This time, you may not be able to escape.

The organization set up a joint scientific expedition team, and several experts from various fields, including your old acquaintance, Vice President Paul, went to explore Lop Nur together.

In the first place, it’s not your turn.

What China lacks the least is fearless fighters.

But Dean Paul personally called your name.

In addition, for the principle of confidentiality, the fewer people who know about this operation, the better.

Haha!

Didn't expect it? It's yours, you can't hide it.

Besides, it's just a trip to Lop Nur. When did you, He Daqing, become so timid? "

He Daqing lit a cigarette, without even looking at Professor Wu, and said to himself:

"Afraid? I'm not afraid of anything.

I am fat and white now, I wonder how popular I am among the young girls and wives.

You want me to go to Lop Nur to eat sand and bask in the sun with you?

After a month, I will be at least ten years older.

Minister Lin, I have something good to show you.

This is the fruit candy I just developed, both in appearance and taste.

They are much better than the fruit candies from Shanghai.

Try it..."

He Daqing broke off a small piece of crystal clear orange-flavored fruit candy and handed it to Minister Lin.

Minister Lin took it and threw it directly into his mouth without minding that He Daqing's hands were dirty.

The rich orange aroma, sweet with a hint of sourness, instantly occupied Minister Lin's taste buds.

"He Daqing, you really have some skills.

This fruit candy is extremely sweet and has great potential. You should hurry up and increase the production.”

Professor Wu looked at the two people singing the same tune and began to remind them:

"Minister Lin, it was the Military Commission that wanted He Daqing to join the joint scientific expedition team.

I just came here to give you a heads up and an explanation.

When it comes to Dean Paul, nothing is more important than the atomic bomb..."

Minister Lin was shocked and asked questions immediately.

"what?

Atomic bomb?

What does it have to do with Lop Nur? "

Professor Wu leaned forward and lowered his voice.

“According to Dean Paul, there is a large uranium mine in Lop Nur.

The documents consulted were from previous European joint scientific expeditions, which are highly credible.

It's not just uranium mines. According to historical records, there is also a huge potash mine in Lop Nur.

This trip is imperative.

Uranium mines can be used to make atomic bombs, and potash mines can be used to produce potash fertilizers!

The atomic bomb can give China the means to resist foreign enemies, and the huge amount of potash fertilizer is enough for every Chinese citizen to have enough food to eat..."
