Chapter 5 The first steps of an inventor
While Evan painstakingly planned the future, he had to continue his school career.
"Good morning, gentleman!"
"Good morning, princess!"
This is a greeting that happens every morning between Evan and Audrey.
Is Evan a gentleman worth asking if he is a gentleman, and no one is opposed to Audrey wearing the title of princess.
Not long after, the princess almost became synonymous with Audrey.
In fact, Audrey herself is a descendant of a noble family, and calling the princess is definitely not a waste of time.
This made Audrey a little distressed, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only stare at the back of the front desk with resentment from time to time during class.
Time flies quickly, and another Friday.
At lunch time, Audrey, Kairole, and Virginia formed a small group to gather at the table. This combination was formed after the unsuccessful hero saved the beauty. The founder was not someone else, but Evan's sister. As for whether Virginia had a hidden purpose, Evan could guess with his toes.
In less than two weeks of contact, the relationship between Virginia and Audrey and Kairole developed rapidly. Those who don’t know thought that Virginia was their classmate.
"well!"
It was when the three girls exchanged topics that the girls understood, Evan sighed softly, his expression was gloomy and he looked like he was losing appetite.
The three girls naturally noticed Evan's abnormality. The sister Virginia, who should have expressed concern the most, seemed to have never heard of it. Kairole was even more unrelated to him and didn't want to pay attention to him.
In the end, only Audrey was dissatisfied and said concerned: "Evan, what's wrong? Is it uncomfortable? Or are there any trouble?"
At this time, Virginia said mercilessly: "Audrey, don't pay attention to him. You can't solve his troubles. It's useless to ask if you ask."
"Is that true?"
After hearing Virginia's statement, she must have known why Evan sighed. Audrey looked at Evan, and his talking eyes seemed to ask, "Is that true?"
Evan nodded at her silently, then sighed again.
Audrey asked Virginia: "It's okay for him to do this?"
Kairole said unhappily: "Audrey, what are you doing that guy?"
Virginia nodded and signaled Audrey not to worry. Seeing that Audrey was still worried, she explained: "Evan said he was short of money. In the past week, he has been raising money in a variety of ways and sold a lot of gifts he had received before. This is not enough. He has set his sights on us again and pestered me and his younger brothers and sisters to borrow money every day."
I'm short of money, so I can't do anything about it.
After listening to Virginia's explanation, Audrey opened her mouth slightly, and then asked curiously: "What does Evan want money to do?"
Virginia shook her head, "I don't know either. He only said that he had thought of something to make money, which required some capital. He would not say anything more unless I promised to borrow money."
Hearing this, Kailuo suddenly interrupted and said, "Virginia, Evan must be talking nonsense. He just wants to cheat money."
After saying that, Kailuo looked at Evan with an expression that I had seen through, "Evan, you are getting worse and worse the more you learn, you have cheated money on your own family."
Kairole said this, and Evan said angrily: "Kairole, don't talk nonsense if there is no evidence, be careful I will tell you slander."
"Slander, I've slandered," Kairoer said angrily: "I'm not wrong again!"
Audrey pulled Roll away and persuaded him: "Kai Roll, don't be angry."
For Audrey's sake, Kai Luo's nose snorted at Evan and didn't say anything further.
The awkward dinner ended soon.
The weekend is coming.
Neither the Governor nor the Governor's wife were at home.
As the saying goes, there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains and call them kings.
Evan felt that today was a good opportunity, no one could stop him no matter what he did.
In the morning, the five brothers and sisters were busy.
Dora and Dorothy practiced piano in the first floor piano room. Each of them played one turn. The songs they practiced were not difficult. The two sisters played very seriously and would pick each other after each song.
Virginia hid in her room, biting her pen in her mouth and thinking hard.
Robert recited lines in his room. In the afternoon, he was going to school to rehearse. He couldn't remember the lines well.
Evan found Aunt Susan as his helper and started fiddling in the kitchen.
Raw materials: flour, water, salt, edible alkali, oil.
What do you think of when you see these things?
noodle!
Yes, Evan is trying to make noodles, and what he is making is an "instant noodles" that will be used as the lowest limit of cooking skills in the future.
This is one of several inventions he chose after he thought hard and carefully selected.
In the original history, instant noodles should have been invented by an RB man named Ando Momofuku. The first bag of instant noodles was produced and sold by Nissin Company, which was established in 1958. Because of its convenient consumption and low price, instant noodles quickly spread as soon as they were released and soon became an industry with hundreds of millions of bags sold annually.
Evan thought that as long as he got the patent for instant noodles and then found an opportunity to go out and get his first pot of gold, the road ahead would be much easier.
Of course, the premise is that he can do it.
One of the reasons why instant noodles were chosen as the first "invention" was that it was relatively difficult and required less cost.
Making instant noodles is simple and simple. The left and right is just kneading, fermenting, ripping, steaming, and frying for a few steps. However, it is not so simple to find the right process conditions.
The first attempt failed unexpectedly. The fried noodles were soaked in boiling water and were no longer tough and broke as soon as they moved.
Evan could only continue to work hard.
Evan was doing experiments at home, and things were soon known to all siblings. Naturally, the Earls also found out that night.
The one who "reported" was Robert.
On the dinner table, the governor's father asked Evan about his purpose. Evan had no intention of hiding it and replied openly: "I'm trying to invent a new food."
Robert interrupted, "It's either new food or noodles, it's just fried."
Nina then scolded severely: "Robert, shut up! You should listen carefully to what Evan said."
Evan looked at his younger brother who lowered his head and continued, "Robert said it is not wrong. This is a fried noodles. I call it instant noodles. It is very simple to eat. It only needs to soak it in boiling water for three minutes. It has the characteristics of convenience and speed. It is very suitable for people who have no time and conditions to cook, or have poor cooking skills."
Speaking of this, Evan glanced at Virginia in a very hidden way.
After listening to Evan's explanation, Earl and Nina looked at each other and said, "A very interesting idea."
The topic ends thereafter.
Evan understood that his experiment was acquiesced.
Evan had a great time eating this meal.
After the meal, Evan found Virginia and others in turn and made his own financing request again. This time, no one refused, including Robert, who had just sued Evan.
Virginia is one hundred dollars, Dora Doroth sisters fifty dollars each, and Robert is thirty dollars.
Adding to Evan's own deposit of 240 yuan, a total of 470 US dollars.
This is his principal.
After raising funds, Evan came to the master bedroom again and asked Nina for help.
"Nina, can you give me Mr. Albert Patton's call?"
Evan can be used directly in the home, which is a little advantage. However, when it comes to patent applications and subsequent commercial operations, professionals such as lawyers must be involved.
Albert Patton is a lawyer, and is the personal lawyer of the Warren family.
Nina didn't ask much and handed Evan a business card.
Evan felt a little surprised. In his memory, Nina rarely lets children get in touch with "adults" too early. He took the business card, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Nina, aren't you worried?"
Nina smiled and shook her head: "Not at all, you are a good kid."
Evan's face turned slightly red, and this trust made his heart warm.
The next day, the experiment continued.
Virginia and others also participated. Of course, Evan did not let them do it, but asked them to be tastingmen.
A week later, after wasting a lot of flour, Virginia and others refused to try it, Evan finally made a finished product with a pretty good taste.
Chapter completed!
