Generally, freshly cut meat, especially beef, needs to be fermented in advance before it can be sold.
These meats require a constant temperature environment, and the fermented meat pieces will be placed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Eisen spent a lot of money to build this cold storage room. The walls inside are airtight, which can minimize the impact of the outside world.
In the corner is an ammonia refrigeration unit developed by French engineer Fordham Carly in 1859. This is a very novel refrigeration method, which is much more convenient than the traditional use of ice stored in winter.
The system only requires water and ammonium salts as refrigerants and can work for a long time to maintain the indoor temperature between 9 degrees Celsius and 14 degrees Celsius.
In 1850, the refrigeration system developed by Fordinglan's brother Edmond required a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. In comparison, the ammonium salt required by Fordinglan's new system was far ahead in terms of price and safety.
When Eisen purchased this refrigeration device, he was considering that it would save him a lot of costs in the long term, so he gritted his teeth and bought this brand new technological product.
Feeling a cold touch from the door handle, Youdekao forcefully opened the heavy door of the cold storage. A gust of icy cold current came out from the cold storage, making Youdekao shiver.
At the same time, a pungent smell of urine came into Yudekao's nose, which was the smell of ammonia.
Yudkao used the meat cleaver in his hand to cut a pipe under the refrigeration unit. It would not be long before this expensive refrigeration unit would be scrapped.
This was the first step in Yudkau's revenge on Eisen.
He had investigated the flow of Eisen's funds in advance and discovered an expenditure of approximately two thousand gold marks. After investigation, he easily obtained information about the device.
Then Yudkao threw away the meat knife in his hand, walked to the slaughterhouse outside the cold storage room, opened a window and climbed out easily.
He was waiting nearby, looking forward to seeing Eisen's furious expression when he returned to the slaughterhouse and saw this scene.
Yudkau's move was extremely vicious, and it directly made Eisen's two thousand marks go down the drain. Moreover, when the meat could not be kept warm, it would easily become smelly and ruined in the hot weather.
Doing so would directly destroy Eisen's career, make him depressed, and make him more likely to fall into subsequent traps.
After a while, Eisen returned to his butcher shop and found that the door of the cold storage was open. This was not good news, as it meant that the meat inside might deteriorate due to the abnormal room temperature.
He walked into the cold storage only to find the floor covered with a sticky mixture of blood and ammonia. The disgusting liquid stuck to the soles of his shoes, making it difficult for him to move. Every step he took was like stepping into a swamp or mud, and a splash of liquid would splash onto his clothes.
When Eisen saw the damaged pipe, he immediately cried out, "No!"
Eisen's facial features were squeezed together due to anger, and coupled with his image as a bald man, Eisen looked a bit funny at the moment.
Eisen immediately turned off the refrigeration device that had been running automatically, and shouted outside,
"You idiot! Please come back and work for me. You just sit outside all day. How come you didn't notice that the refrigeration unit inside was damaged!"
The unlucky clerk was a little confused. He was scolded for doing nothing, but he replied,
"Boss, no one has come in? I've been sitting at the door, how could anyone come in?"
"You're stupid and you don't admit it. Come and see! Wasn't this pipe damaged by human beings? And this device is almost brand new. How could it break down by itself?" Eisen cursed and poked the innocent clerk's head with his finger.
Eisen was wondering if there was any solution. Such precision equipment was not something he could repair by himself. Moreover, it was imported from France. If he sent it back to France now, the meat in his warehouse would probably rot and be infested with maggots when he sent it back after repair.
The fastest and most primitive way to solve the current problem is to go find ice cubes. However, it is almost impossible to get so much ice cubes at once, so we can only ask someone to buy, find, or beg for it.
As long as there is enough ice for Eisen to sell the current batch of goods, he can buy time to repair this refrigerator worth several years' income.
In this hot summer, ice is difficult to purchase, but there is one place where you can definitely find ice, and that is the only bar in Ulm, the Black Pepper Bar.
Thinking of this, Eisen picked up a piece of good pork leg and put it on his shoulder and walked out; before leaving, Eisen told the clerk, who was still a little dazed, to keep an eye on the store.
——
"Hey! Mills, my old friend, look what I brought you?" Eisen pushed open the door of the Black Pepper Bar and handed the pork leg wrapped in newspaper to Mills.
Mills was a little confused, but he remembered that today was not the day Eisen was required to deliver the goods, and Eisen's behavior and actions were a little abnormal;
Eisen was usually rather taciturn and wouldn't say too many pleasantries, but today he actually called Mills an old friend, which made Mills alert.
"I'm afraid the person who comes has bad intentions." Mills thought to himself.
"Eisen, why are you here? Please sit down." Mills received the famous butcher with a welcoming attitude.
In Mills' mind, Eisen was at most a supplier of raw materials. He even looked down on Eisen. After all, he was the lover of his old customer Yudekao's wife. Later, a series of complicated things happened, which made Mills dislike Eisen from the bottom of his heart.
"It's a long story. Give me a glass of dark beer." Eisen said after touching his smooth head.
Mills personally poured a glass for Eisen and brought it to him. Eisen looked at the frozen beer glass and said,
"Mills, I need some ice."
"Okay, I'll get you some." Mills was about to turn around and leave, but Eisen grabbed his sleeve.
Eisen looked up at Mills and repeated what he had said, "I want ice."
Eisen continued,
"A lot of ice. I know you probably have the largest stock in the entire city of Umr. I can buy it from you."
Mills was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Eisen and said,
"Didn't you buy the latest refrigeration device? What do you want ice for?"
Eisen took a sip of beer and said,
"It's broken. I don't know which bastard broke it. Damn it, if I find out, I'll dissect him alive."
However, Eisen did not notice that there was some extra powder in the dark beer. The powder was light white and mixed in the foam of the dark beer and was not noticeable.
The second step of Yudekao's revenge has begun!
