The brand of the food factory at home is called Haochi, and Alan did not change it. Instead, he felt that the brand name was simple, rough and straightforward. Coupled with the thumbs-up logo, it looked very festive and there was no need to make it fancy.

In the general perception, the product illustrations drawn on the packaging of instant noodles should basically not be taken seriously and are just for reference.

But Master Allen doesn't play tricks when doing business!

If it is ordinary instant noodles, for example, the bagged instant noodles that are already in production in China.

The packaging above is the actual product picture.

There wasn't much meat in the instant noodles, just a little bit of dried vegetable packets.

Although it may not look as good as other products with fancy packaging, it is practical and what you see is what you get.

But now with the support of the beef producing area, more high-end instant noodles can be produced.

What he is holding in his hand now is the new product he developed, which is also the most common braised beef noodles among the public!

But this braised beef noodles is very high-end.

It feels very heavy when you pick it up.

The packaging is more than twice as big as normal buckets of instant noodles.

The most popular barreled instant noodles on the market now are the ones produced in the island country. It is better to say that they are in cups rather than barrels.

The packaging looks very stingy. For someone like Allen, who eats four or five bowls at a time, even the soup and water are not enough to make him full.

Allen doesn't like such products very much, and this is one of the main reasons why these instant noodles from the island country cannot be sold in Europe and the United States.

Small portion, unpalatable taste.

For the same price, why don’t people go to a fast food restaurant to buy a sandwich or a hamburger, but have to buy a small bucket of tasteless instant noodles?

Isn't this insane?

…

But now this new delicious instant noodles deluxe version is different.

When I opened the package, I saw a small plastic folding fork on top.

Take out the small fork, and underneath is a very thick and large sauce packet.

In addition to the sauce packets, there are also seasoning packets and vegetable packets.

In order to be more affordable, the noodles in this type of bucket are much thicker than those in ordinary bags. They can just fit the bottom of the bucket and occupy half of the entire bucket.

The essence of this deluxe version of instant noodles lies in this thick and large sauce packet.

The content here is real braised beef chunks with more than 100g of solids.

Two ounces of beef directly placed on the instant noodles, does this feel real enough to be considered luxurious?

Compared with its contemporary competitors of this era, it is definitely luxurious.

With the advantage of being a beef producing area, as long as the price is controlled within a certain cost, this stuff will be easy to sell.

The remaining fried crocodile meat and fried steak are both local specialties. Alan mainly tasted them and felt the quality.

The crocodile meat tastes okay, a little more tender and chewy than chicken, and the quality of the beef here is only slightly better than the ordinary, lowest-end beef.

If you want to sell it as premium meat, that's impossible, but if you supply it to low-end Western restaurants as steak ingredients, that would be perfect, such as Saizeriya.

…

"Are these sauce packets produced here individually and then packaged and shipped to China?"

After taking a bite of the deluxe instant noodles, the taste was average. The beef was quite flavorful, but it seemed a little different from the braised beef noodles Alan had in mind, but it was not a big problem.

"Yes... People here have reported that if we package the beef and send it to China for production, it would be better to produce it here directly. The cost can be better reduced. We can make the finished product here and ship it over. Then they can produce and package it there and sell it."

"Well... at the beginning, the consumption capacity there may not be very friendly to this kind of product. We will see how it sells when the time comes. We can take our time."

…

After leaving the cannery, today's inspection could be put on hold. It was getting hotter in the afternoon, so Old Carl took Alan to the management accommodation area built along the river, which was a row of river view villas.

Half of the white iron-wood structure houses are built on the beach beside the river, with concrete pillars supporting the base of the entire house.

This design can better prevent insects and storms, and is also more conducive to ventilation of the house.

The environmental protection indicators in the Northern Territory are not serious at present, and there are no restrictions on installing air conditioners. All villas here can be equipped with air conditioners.

Alan took the coffee handed to him by Nicole, took a sip, and took out a pen and paper to write something.

After Bill Hayden left that day, he sent Patrice to Hong Kong to find Wei Dewei with his handwritten letter.

Alan still remembered that when Diana met him some time ago, she said that she would follow Boss Cha to Hong Kong at the end of the year, but Diana didn't know what she was going to do specifically.

This time, Patrice was sent over to gather information for Allen.

Although you can ask about this kind of thing directly by calling, it is not safe!

What's more, since it is asking for such private information, it is safest to send someone directly with the letter.

Alan was eager to know what Boss Cha was doing here and whether it would affect his plans. He came here from so far away for no reason, and Alan was very curious.

…

It was hot and muggy in Wales in August.

Cameron specifically asked the crew to finish work early today so that they could just finish shooting this scene.

The place where they are today is a suburban area on the outskirts of the town of Carmarthen.

It's still some distance away from Allen's old film location.

Because the scenes to be filmed during this period are somewhat dangerous.

They are all explosion scenes, especially vehicle explosion scenes. If they were too close to towns, there would be safety risks.

…

In many movie scenes, there is a classic scene where two cars collide and then catch fire. With a "boom", the two cars explode with black smoke.

During this process, the protagonist had to crawl out of the car, and occasionally he had to leap forward and lie on the ground in coordination with the back of the car that was about to explode. After the protagonist lay down, the car also exploded.

But in reality, how can a car explode so easily?

For example, in those movies, a bullet hits the gas tank and the whole car explodes.

This rarely happens in reality.

Let's say a bullet hits a fuel tank. Let alone one bullet, even if the fuel tank is shot into a sieve, the greater possibility is that the oil will leak out rather than explode.

…

If we want to shoot an explosion scene now, it is of course better to use a real car so that it will look more realistic. But if we want a large truck to explode, how much explosives will be needed?

This thing is too dangerous. Cameron wants excitement and reality, but he doesn't want to die.

So in the end we had to settle for the next best thing and ordered a few miniature vehicle models.

In this way, the vehicle looks more real and the effect of taking pictures is also better. This kind of 1:6 miniature vehicle model with all parts is not much cheaper than the real car, and its advantage is safety.

There are long steel cables dragging on the ground on both sides, and there are cranes in the distance responsible for towing. The steel cables are tied to two miniature truck models. Today, we will first shoot a shot of the two cars colliding.

…

As Cameron called the end of the work, the atmosphere of the entire crew changed from being tense and depressing to being somewhat excited.

With Allen taking away some members of the crew, the entire crew looked much "leaner", and the filming of the film was nearing its end.

Cameron took the initiative to invite Arnold to ride in the same car with him. Today was the collective team-building activity for the crew that he and Butler Hutt had applied for - to visit and have dinner at the Earl's manor.

This was only possible thanks to Allen's vacation and Cameron's reputation.

In the entire "Terminator 2" crew, half of the people are old employees of Allen's crew, and the remaining half are brought over by Cameron from Hollywood and Canada.

Plus a few main actors.

Even though Arnold became a little famous because of "Terminator 1", his salary also increased to two or three million US dollars.

But these are all false. Due to his muscular image and that awkward Austrian accent, Arnold's acting range is actually very limited. Coupled with his poor acting skills, Arnold is now in a situation where there is no demand for him.

No one asked him to film!

Rich producers look down on an actor like him who is mediocre, and those who like him think that his pay is too high. It is easy to find muscular men, and they all look that way anyway, wearing sunglasses.

So, even though he had finished filming his scenes, Arnold did not leave, but stayed with the crew to see if Cameron needed to reshoot any scenes later, so that he wouldn't have to travel back and forth between America and Wales.

…

Arnold was still curious and excited about visiting the manor today.

He came from a small place, and he had seen a lot of rich people, so it was not too rare for him to see one. He himself had become famous in the past few years and had some wealth, so he bought a not-too-small house in America.

But Arnold was still very curious about the life of this traditional aristocracy, not to mention this hereditary aristocracy that was still in power. He always heard Cameron bragging to him about how powerful this noble lord of his family was.

After hearing it so many times, even Arnold himself began to feel a little awed.

Especially during the time he was filming in Wales, what he saw and heard made him more deeply understand what a traditional hereditary noble with a fiefdom is.

This is really not comparable to the wealthy businessmen in America.

It doesn't mean that your status will be high if your house is big, you have many women, or you have many bodyguards.

This earl really has status and traditional aristocracy, and he is not comparable to those wealthy businessmen at all.

…

As usual, after passing the strict inspection at the gate, Nano sat in the car and looked at two big men in camouflage short-sleeved shirts in the distance, leading two wolfhounds and surrounding the wall of the manor, as if they were checking something.

The vehicle drove along the path, passed the stable on the side, and went around to the side and rear of the main building before stopping.

Cameron pointed to a place in the distance that looked like the entrance to the hall and said, "This is where the servants eat. You've always been curious about this, right? Come with me?"

"maid?"

Arnold's voice was a little muffled and unclear, and only Cameron, who had worked with him for a long time, could barely understand it.

"Then what else do you want? You know Sir Hut, right? He is also the Earl's servant. He occasionally comes here to eat when he is not busy."

"oh!"

When Cameron said this, Arnold realized that this was the staff restaurant...

But the Earl's employees are all his own servants, which is understandable. It's just that everyone has different perceptions. Although they are servants, I have never seen them feel inferior or anything. The servants here and the servants in America seem to be a little different, but the core is similar.

Following Cameron into this huge restaurant, Arnold thought that his arrival would at least cause some sensation, or someone might ask him for an autograph or something.

But the reality is cruel...

Several servants who had just finished their meal walked past them without even looking at them, as if they were nothing.

…

Cameron looked at Arnold who looked disappointed and smiled...

After this Austrian guy became famous, he seemed to think that Hollywood was the whole world. But outside of America, especially in a place like Britain, who would recognize him?

Meryl is an Oscar-winning actress!

He came here to shoot a marginal movie like that for the Count without any complaints. Compared with these actors who have already won Oscar-level honors, what kind of star is Arnold?

Moreover, this is the restaurant in the manor. Most of the servants are either old people from the Earl's family or retired navy veterans. Who would look down on a little movie star?

The fact that they didn't look down on him openly was considered very decent.

…

Taking Arnold to the food window, Cameron picked up a plate and moved it to the food window skillfully.

Even though this is called a servants' restaurant, the standard of food provided here is basically comparable to that of four-star hotels outside.

There is a row of food windows that is more than ten meters long, offering Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, British and other cuisines. The menu is very rich and you can order whatever you want. Moreover, a 20-hour system is implemented here.

That is to say, it is open for twenty hours a day and you can come to dine at any time. The four hours of closure are used for cleaning and disinfection.

Because of the different jobs these servants have, some have to work night shifts, and sometimes they finish their work in the middle of the night, but they can still come here to eat. Basically, the shifts are scheduled and they will try their best to avoid eating here during the few hours of rest in the restaurant.

…

After ordering a few dishes that looked delicious, Cameron ordered a large portion of ice cream when passing by a window. Then he found a seat and sat down to eat with Arnold, who looked curious.

"Here...the old people from the previous crew also ate here when they didn't go out."

Cameron scooped a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth and explained to Arnold while eating.

"Director... can this manor accommodate so many people? Do they usually work here?"

Arnold, who came here for the first time, was stunned by the food standard. To be honest, it was better than his daily food standard. Moreover, he did not see any charges during the whole process. He wondered whether it was free or the money would be deducted from his salary.

…

Glancing at Arnold, Cameron pointed outside with his fork and said, "How many people could live here before? A small cavalry corps, 500 people! Do you understand? These 500 people are the size of the cavalry, not counting the servants and maids brought by the cavalry. Do you think there is enough room here?"

"hiss……"

Hearing this, Arnold took a deep breath. This...

Just as he was about to turn his head, Arnold's attention was suddenly attracted by a very haggard-looking man sitting diagonally opposite him.
