Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Of course, the canned goods produced in the base areas have now become more standardized, especially those canned goods used for strategic reserves, where all kinds of information are clearly labeled. These are two different concepts.

Kong Hao shipped back canned goods from overseas without any labels, and many of them were distributed to enemy-occupied or Kuomintang-controlled areas. The reason was simple: he wanted to provide more benefits to the people.

After a period of time, a profession called "blind box opening" emerged, specializing in handling canned goods.

Ordinary people who suffer from chronic food and clothing shortages are the ones who understand life best and are the most shrewd in their calculations.

Because many places that sell canned food have a purchase limit system, so you can't just buy a lot of it if you have money.

When ordinary people buy canned food, they first make a small hole to determine what kind of meat is inside before deciding how to handle it.

After a period of verification, a set of value judgment standards has long been established in the market.

Even the most common canned pork can be divided into many types, such as offal, pork belly, pork ribs, pig ears, pig feet, and pig head skin.

The price of each can of food is different. The lowest price is for pork offal. If the value of one can of this is 1, then the value of one can of pig head skin and pig ears is 1,1.

Don't underestimate this small difference; for ordinary people, it means some extra income.

In Australia, the white people mainly eat large pieces of meat like pork chops and steaks, and Kong Hao buys up the rest.

Then all these cheap meats were canned and shipped back to China to be sold on the market.

The food eaten by poor people and rich people is different; this principle applies to all times and places.

Those wealthy families with modest assets would certainly be willing to spend a lot of money to buy beef, mutton, and canned seafood from the market.

For ordinary people, having canned offal to eat is considered a celebration of the New Year. If they are lucky enough to open a blind box and get canned seafood, the value of the seafood doubles instantly, which is definitely an unexpected surprise.

For ordinary people, this also means being able to earn money without paying any extra costs, which is very important for many ordinary families.

There's even a group of shrewd businessmen who specialize in buying unopened canned goods from ordinary people, charging them a little more than they would in stores.

Then, the canned goods are categorized into different grades and sold to different customers to generate profits, which can be considered a win-win situation.

Of course, this model is still in its infancy, many things have not yet been subdivided, and the value assessment is still relatively rough.

Take canned seafood, for example. There are all kinds of seafood, and the tastes are vastly different. As a result, the prices in the market will also vary.

This would create many new jobs, which is something Kong Hao is willing to see and even encourages.

Simply put, more job opportunities will revitalize the economy, make everyone more willing to spend money, and stimulate industry.

This operating logic has been proven to be completely reasonable in later generations, but few people can understand it now.

Not to mention China, which is industrially backward, even in industrially powerful countries in Europe and America, many economic theories are still in their infancy and have not yet formed a system.

Many of the theories proposed by Kong Hao need to be verified through practical operation, which also requires time and a large population base.

As the saying goes, "It nourishes things silently."

Many things that seem incredibly novel to outsiders are already commonplace in the base area, such as the reports and data from various factories, as well as various rules, regulations, and work instructions.

These standardized documents may seem cumbersome, but they are the foundation for the survival of a modern factory.

In particular, as factories in the base areas increased and industries became more specialized, a large weapon required hundreds or thousands of parts, which were produced in different factories and then sent together for assembly.

Ensuring that the manufactured parts meet the standards specified in the drawings is a highly complex skill.

If every part is inspected at full dimensions, it will consume too much manpower and resources; if it is not inspected, or only a few parts are inspected, problems are likely to occur.

This involves the definition of spot checks and full inspections, and the detailed data records of parts during the production process, which are the most valuable things.

Our base has very limited talent pool. Those who can participate in product testing must at least be able to read blueprints and be proficient in using measuring instruments; they must at least have a primary school education.

This is also why our industrial strength has developed rapidly and our talent pool has kept pace – we can produce the most qualified products with the least amount of manpower.

If economists from the United States or the United Kingdom were to come to our base, even to the simplest hardware processing factory with a few dozen employees, they would be absolutely amazed by the factory management system.

This is an extremely advanced and efficient method, and it even has a corresponding theoretical system. In other countries, such things are just concepts or scattered and unsystematic.

Besides these, what's most relevant to ordinary people is that industrial prices have decreased, they can eat their fill and stay warm, and many people can find jobs to earn money. These are the most important things for ordinary families.

We seem to have strayed a bit from the topic again. Let's get back to the main point.

On the other side, the leader of the knife gang first put in a can of braised pork, letting the large amount of oil inside mix with the hot pot broth. A few minutes later, a rich aroma immediately filled the entire room.

It's a unique meaty smell that makes you want to keep smelling it.

Then, tofu, soaked sweet potato noodles, and some wild vegetables were added in sequence and cooked together. Finally, everyone took more than half a bowl.

Back then, there were many rules for eating hot pot. You had to make the most of all the oil. Adding four cans of food to the pot at once was definitely considered wasteful.

First, add a can of food, then add the side dishes and cook. The first dish picked up will definitely have the most intense flavor and be the most delicious.

After cooking it a few times, the flavor becomes much weaker. Only then can you add another canned food and enjoy the delicious taste again.

Of course, today's situation is special, and since it's the leader of the Loyalty Gang treating everyone, they've gone all out and brought out four cans of food at once.

For an ordinary family of six, half a can of food would be considered a feast.

Most of the time, when I cook, I just take two pieces of meat out of the can and throw them into the pot, then add a little bit of the can's broth, and that's a meal with some oil and broth.
