Act 116: Halloween
The cold weather makes the flames rise, and wisps of gray-white smoke rise from the ground, circling in the air, gradually fading until it dissipates.
October 31, 1859, on Halloween Eve.
The orange pumpkin was picked into a pumpkin lantern, and the swaying candlelight flashed in its grinning mouth.
All the children in the city of New Haven, poor and rich, began their trick-and-treat dress on Halloween Eve.
The ash, cinder, sludge, sack fragments, and abandoned industrial waste have become props for poor children to dress up.
It seemed as if they had turned into wild animals, their bodies were stinking, holding small pockets, knocking on the door of people of every year, and shouting - "Fa Candy".
They are indescribable, like evil pagans, who keep extorting one family for the sake of the candy, for the holy object of candy.
However, in this year of economic crisis, wealthy families may give each child a piece of candy, while those not rich families knock on a piece of candy into pieces of more than double-digit fragments, and each child can only be divided into a very pitiful point.
However, even this very pitiful point is a hard-earned sweet treat for children.
Put the sugar slices on the tip of the tongue, and the saliva is secreted rapidly, breaking down the starch in the sugar cubes, and the sweetness blooms on the taste buds.
For most children, this taste of happiness can only be experienced once a year.
Although Doug doesn't remember this on Halloween Eve, the careful Williams has prepared a lot of candies.
Doug's warm desk in his warm office can see everything at a glance at the front door of the printing and dyeing factory.
Nathan at the door was wrapped in his coat, stomping his feet constantly, and holding there, giving candy to every child who came to knock on the door and asked for candy.
Although Doug himself is not this Western festival, it does not prevent him from asking his subordinates to do some activities.
Paying attention to social benefits and social fame is one of the essential lessons for modern enterprises.
Because--believe in the power of the brand.
However, Doug withdrew his gaze and looked at the few candies on his table, but shook his head.
He doesn't want to eat candies from this era.
A small team of Blair and Thomson has been investigating food safety issues more and more in-depth.
When I didn't investigate, I didn't seem to find any problems.
However, after investigation, I found that almost all the foods that can be easily accessed in daily life have shocking inside information.
Remember to throw copper slices into the vegetable soup to make the vegetable soup greener?
That's right!
You are not wrong!
The green of green candy is also patina.
Of course, this is not much.
Have you eaten red candies dyed with mercury sulfide?
In addition to these heavy metal dyes, there are also some special color candies, and the dye ingredients come from natural insect shells.
Think about it, every time you eat a candy, an insect will die.
Without a transaction, there is no killing.
Save the insects!
Doug had no preparations on this Halloween Eve. He had already thought about it. If you want to give it, you would give it rock candy.
Although it is only slightly yellow, it doesn't look very attractive. But it's better to be healthy and safe than using these messy dyes.
Although the city of New Haven, slums and rich areas are not clearly distinguished, there are also clear differences.
William, the president of the New Haven Eagle Bank, is located in the center of the wealthy New Haven area.
The security here is very good and the transportation is very convenient. In addition to the things around it are a little expensive, it can be regarded as the most suitable place for living in New Haven.
In the past, those poor families who want to come to a wealthy area would have to ask the security guards whether they agree with the iron stick in their hands.
However, today is Halloween Eve and a carnival day, everything is different.
Even if he has mud on his face, sacks on his body, and wooden sticks in his hands, pretending to be a primitive man, he can still come to the rich area to ask for candy.
Moreover, people in wealthy areas are very rich, and the candies they give are often more and better.
Therefore, the poorer the child, the more likely the organization will be to brush copies of the wealthy area on Halloween Eve.
Even if the rich people are usually fierce, they will still pinch their noses and ask the nanny to prepare candy.
William's wife Sofia was an English nobleman. Although after the Industrial Revolution, the British aristocratic status could be bought with money and it became increasingly common, Baron Sofia always felt that her identity was very noble.
She heard the noise of the child outside the house and called the nanny in disgust, "Are those candies ready?"
"My master, ready!"
"Those damn poor guys come to ask for candy later, don't leave one left, and send me all the candy!"
"As for orders, my master!"
"Dongdong!"
"Trouble or treat if you don't give me some candy!"
"Wow! This candy looks so good!"
"Eat one!"
