The so-called high fructose corn syrup is actually very common in later generations, and has gradually replaced sucrose in the food processing industry.
This kind of candy originally appeared after the 1950s.
But its process is not complicated.
The most important things are the two substances glucoamylase and glucose isomerase.
The former had been extracted in the 1930s, but was not commercialized. The latter would not be discovered until the 1950s.
But Josie only needs the former, because the main function of the latter is to convert the glucose in the syrup into fructose, which increases the sweetness of the syrup.
Only the former plays the role of hydrolyzing starch to produce syrup.
I know these two things because of the unlucky brother who asked me to drink before time travel. He works in the raw material processing industry of fast-selling products - in fact, he is a raw material supplier for milk tea shops.
When the other party started his business, Qiao Xi helped him a lot in his spare time.
I just know a little bit about this aspect.
However, Qiao Xi is not engaged in biological research, so he definitely cannot produce glucoamylase and produce fructose syrup.
But it doesn’t matter, you can find someone to do this work.
Chicago is the education center in the middle of the United States. There are as many as 19 standard four-year universities, including many famous universities such as the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois, as well as a large number of graduate schools.
It is not difficult to find a few professionals in this field.
"Since you feel confident, go ahead and do it. Just tell me how much it will cost!" Margot said after Josie revealed her plan.
"But since you want to start a career, you need to interact with more celebrities. It just so happened that I received an invitation to a weekend cocktail party yesterday from Uncle John. I didn't plan to go, but now you
If you want to start a business, let's go together! Then I will introduce some people to you, which will be helpful to your career."
Speaking of which, the time spent with Josie was not short, but Margot had never taken him to such an occasion.
It's not because Josie can't handle it.
In fact, after her father passed away, she rarely attended such cocktail parties.
At first, it was because people always spoke ill of Tony Winds in her ears, which she didn't like very much, and she even had quarrels with some of her best friends.
And when she later found out that these bad words were all true, she didn't even want to attend such an occasion...because she was afraid of being embarrassed.
In addition, she didn't want to go because of David Lebil's previous entanglement, so she didn't even mention it.
But if Josie wants to start a factory and business, she will definitely need various connections, so it is necessary to attend this cocktail party.
That's why she brought it up.
"Oh? What kind of cocktail party is it?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"It's a war bond fund-raising reception hosted by the city government. Uncle John is the leader. Celebrities from all walks of life in Chicago will attend!" Margot said.
When Qiao Xi heard this, he realized that it was really necessary to see this cocktail party.
"It won't cause you any trouble, will it?" Speaking of which, he had never seen such a high-end cocktail party in his entire life.
"What trouble can this cause? It can also let those people know that I am living a good life now." Margot said with a gentle smile.
"What should I pay attention to?" Josie asked.
“Dress up handsomely!”
……………………
Soon, it will be the weekend.
After being carefully dressed, Josie and Margot appeared on time at the reception venue - the luxurious manor of the Lebil family.
When they arrived, there were already many guests in the manor, and the yard was filled with various luxury cars of this period. In comparison, the burgundy Lincoln Continental that Josie drove today seemed a bit inconspicuous.
.
Of course, if you take out the Cadillac V16 from the system warehouse, it will still be more eye-catching.
But now is not the time.
Although now Josie has half-stepped into Chicago's upper class by dating Margot, a wealthy woman.
But this is not enough to be his safety net.
After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Those Italian barbarians went crazy, but even the president dared to plan an assassination.
Therefore, until there is sufficient self-protection ability, the car can only be regarded as a private collection.
Fortunately, the system space is time-limited, so there is no possibility that the car will be improperly maintained.
After Margot handed the invitation letter to the waiter at the door for inspection, the two entered the venue hall unimpeded.
"Hey, Margot, long time no see!" As soon as he entered the venue, an acquaintance spotted Margot arriving.
This is a beautiful lady, about the same age as Margot.
"Long time no see, Gorrell!" Margot also greeted the other party very enthusiastically. It was obvious that the two parties were very familiar with each other.
Then under Margot's apologetic eyes, she was pulled aside by Gorrell and started talking quietly.
It was impossible for Josie to participate in or block this kind of private conversation between women. She could only look around to relieve her embarrassment, and took a glass of wine from the passing waiter's tray.
It's just that Qiao Xi doesn't like to drink, it's not that he doesn't know how to drink. He has tried it a little bit before, but his body's ability to drink is pretty average.
"What do you call her?" At this moment, an elegant middle-aged man walked up to Qiao Xi and asked.
"Josie, Josie Kahn!" Josie introduced herself.
"Patrick Chase, Gerald is my wife!" The man introduced himself, and then pointed to Gerald who was talking to Margot.
Qiao Xi suddenly understood. No wonder the other party came up to talk to him.
Then the two of them started chatting, one after another.
Because the two parties were not familiar with each other, it was impossible to discuss too personal information, so the topic quickly turned to the current war situation... This is also a topic that normal men like to talk about, not to mention that this is a war in itself.
The War Bond Fundraising Reception, with war as the topic, can be said to be very appropriate for the occasion.
However, it was precisely through this conversation that Josie made a deep impression on Patrick, who originally did not take him seriously and just regarded him as an ordinary conversation partner.
Patrick is now the owner of a department store in Chicago, but during World War I, he served as a logistics officer in the military, so he was not a military layman.
During the conversation, some of Qiao Xi's judgments about the current war situation made him very fresh.
"Josie, with your knowledge, it would be a shame not to join the army and make a great contribution!" Patrick sighed.
Josie rolled her eyes secretly at this.
Join the army? His body is just that of a high school dropout (ninth grade). What can he do if he joins the army? Go to the front line to carry artillery shells?
Although during World War II, due to the rapid expansion of the military, not just a cat or a dog can become an officer. The requirements for better military services are also not low, such as the Air Force and the Navy, and at the end you have to graduate from high school.
So now that Josie joins the army, he can only serve as an ordinary infantryman.
Besides, Qiao Xi has no intention of joining the army. How smart is his brain to think of working for this emotionless country?
Wouldn’t it be nice to sleep comfortably with a rich woman in your arms?
"Mr. Chase, Josie is not yet 16 years old, but she is far from the age to join the army!" On the other side, Margot, who had just finished talking to Gorrell and came over, also heard what Critter said.
, immediately took Qiao Xi’s arm and said dissatisfiedly.
Patrick was stunned when he heard Margot's words.
Looking at Josie again, he did seem a bit immature, but Josie's tall figure, calm personality, and good knowledge made him ignore this before.
Just 16 years old... Patrick looked at Josie and then at the mature and beautiful Margot.
Tsk…
Fortunately, in this era, the laws are not so strict, and this situation is not uncommon among the upper class.
If it were the 21st century, Margot would have been prosecuted and sent to jail...
