What's really going on
The scene does its world-building through hunger. The Buckets are not just poor; they are down to cabbage water and a single loaf that Charlie treats as a feast, which is why Grandpa Joe's refusal matters: "When a loaf of bread looks like a banquet, I've no right buying tobacco." That line prices the family's poverty more precisely than any explanation could. And when the talk turns to Willy Wonka, the hunger is still in the room: the factory is the one place that promises more than cabbage water, and its mystery is what gives the children hope. Grandpa Joe's legend is also a piece of storytelling, complete with spies, a shutdown, and a miraculous reopening — the exact ingredients a poor boy needs to keep believing. The last line, that the missing workers are the biggest mystery of them all, hands Charlie the question that will carry him into the factory.

このシーンについての質問
Why is the Bucket family so poor?
Charlie's father is dead, his mother and Charlie do the little work they can find, and the whole family lives on cabbage water. The scene shows the poverty through the food on the table.
Why does Grandpa Joe give up smoking?
Because the family has so little. He says that when a loaf of bread looks like a banquet, he has no right to spend money on tobacco, so he stops rather than take from their food.
Why is the Wonka factory closed?
Grandpa Joe says rival chocolate makers sent in spies dressed as workers to steal Wonka's secret recipes, so Wonka locked the gates and disappeared.
Why does the factory keep producing if no one goes in or out?
That is the mystery Grandpa Joe leaves open. The factory runs at full blast again, but the gates stay locked, and no one knows who is doing the work inside.
Who does Grandpa Joe blame most for spying on Wonka?
Slugworth. He calls Slugworth the worst of the rivals, which sets him up as the villain the children will meet later.
