The invention of the freezing method
Around the early 1920s, Teba and some friends went fishing on the frozen Newfoundland coast every winter. You can catch a lot of fish, and the fish you catch will freeze immediately if you put them on the ice. Since he couldn't finish it all at once, Teba took the extra fish home. A few days later, when he was about to eat the fish he brought home, he discovered that if the ice on the fish did not melt, the taste of the fish would not change even after several days. So he further experimented with the results of freezing meat and vegetables. He discovered that it could stay fresh just like frozen fish.
Later, he persevered in repeated experiments and further learned that different freezing speeds and methods of food will cause slight differences in the taste and freshness after freezing. If not frozen well, it will lose its original flavor and freshness. After months of exploration, he finally succeeded in researching a freezing method that would not lose its original freshness.
In August 1923, Teba took the invention he accidentally "picked up" to the Patent Office to apply for a patent for the "freezing method", and then sold it to the American General Foods Company for US$30 million.
There are many people fishing on the frozen seaside in winter, and the fish they catch freeze quickly, but no one pays attention to this common phenomenon, let alone thinks about it. , only Teba found the idea of ??freezing method, and therefore only he could become a rich man in one fell swoop.
