There is a leather merchant who likes fishing. He often goes fishing on the coast of Newfoundland not far from home. There is a world-famous Newfoundland fishing ground with abundant fish resources. One winter morning, a night of heavy snow failed to stop him from coming to the coast of Newfoundland. The weather is very cold, and the cool wind blows on my face like a knife. The tanner had a hard time digging a hole in the frozen sea, then he sat down, lit a cigarette and began to fish. These days, he has been thinking about one thing: once the fish he catches is put on the ice, it will soon freeze hard. As long as the ice on his body does not melt, this kind of frozen fish will not change its taste after three to five days, and it tastes as delicious as fresh fish. What is the reason? Can food be protected by freezing? If other things are frozen, can they be kept as fresh as frozen fish? If so, why don't I ... Thought of this, his eyes lit up, and an uneasy idea made him put away his fishing rod and hurried home.
The leather merchant started his experiment. After repeated experiments, he found that beef and vegetables could be frozen and kept fresh. Moreover, the taste and freshness of all foods after freezing are related to the speed and method of freezing. The smart and thoughtful leather manufacturer intends to develop a machine that can quickly freeze foods.
After many experiments, analysis and summary, he finally succeeded in mastering this technology. The leather merchant who was troubled by fatigue and lack of sleep did not hesitate, and immediately applied to the State Patent Office for a patent for his food freezing method. Then he announced to the outside world that he would sell this technology. Because this is a new technology with great potential and development prospect, for a time, major companies all over the country flocked to buy patents. He didn't shoot easily, and companies were optimistic about its development prospects, and the bids were getting higher and higher, which was simply outrageous. Leather merchants seized the opportunity and sold it to General Foods of the United States at a high price of $3 million.
This leather dealer is Barca, an American.
