Capítulo 816: Chapter 818: Factory Arrangements
Are the cows still not fully grown?
Boss Long and Ha Ha couldn’t quite believe it and asked in unison, “Really?”
“Really! I’m just trying the meat to see if it’s tasty before deciding whether to raise them or not.”
Raise or not?
Someone already answered this question for her.
“Girl, you must raise these cows, remember to raise plenty. I’ll eat sparingly, just one at a time.”
“Good people, Ha Ha wants to eat.”
Looking at the pitiful Ha Ha and the one-cow-at-a-time Boss Long, what could Nian Shutong do?
“Alright, alright, I’ll raise them! Raise them!”
The two left satisfied, carrying with them their expectations for beef.
Watching their backs, Nian Shutong had only one question: How did these two end up together?
Unable to figure it out, Nian Shutong simply continued to tour Blue Star. Having checked the planted land yesterday, today she decided to look at the factories and distribute new seeds for planting while at it.
Once these things are planted, there will be materials for clothing at civilian prices, meaning Blue Star is about to fully develop its clothing industry.
Nevertheless, the population of Blue Star remains small, so Nian Shutong thinks continued cooperation with the Chuan family could work out.
All of this will be considered once the new fabrics are ready.
Nian Shutong went to the factory area. After a round, she prepared to add some new factories.
Firstly, the beverage factory they previously discussed has started producing some fruit juices, and the soda drinks are also ready, but production hadn’t begun because Nian Shutong hadn’t returned.
Now, this time, soda drinks, especially cola, are being added.
When the workers made the first glass of cola, Nian Shutong was the first to taste it.
With the first sip, Nian Shutong felt a mouthful of foam and a fizzy pricking sensation in her mouth, which she found hard to accept for a moment.
“Daodao, are you sure this is a universally loved drink?”
“Definite and sure, cola has been the top seller for years.”
Suppressing her inner doubts, Nian Shutong started distributing some to the people in the factory area for them to taste. However, only one person liked it at first sip, while others shared the same feelings as Nian Shutong on that initial taste.
Can this stuff really sell?
Watching everyone’s expressions, Nian Shutong roughly understood their thoughts.
“No rush, everyone takes a bottle, finish it, and then let’s talk.”
“Give me a few bottles, I’ll take them back later.”
Nian Shutong produced some cola, letting residents be the first tasters for now.
After leaving the beverage factory, she went to the canned food factory, where she added several new types of fruits to be made into canned products.
Upon leaving the canned food factory, she drew plans to build a factory for dried fruits. Among the previous fruits, there were many apricots perfect for dried apricots, and some grapes grown beyond the desert, ideal for raisins.
Besides that, she also planned to establish a cereal factory. They had lots of grains on hand, so she planned to sell some.
And a peanut factory, with garlic-flavored peanuts, salty peanuts, spicy peanuts, etc.
Lastly, a seasoning factory, where previous spices, along with some soy sauce, vinegar, and cooking wine, could be sold.
However, these things were divided into levels, with some products selling cheap with a short duration, while those taking longer were priced higher.
The first batch of soy sauce and vinegar brewed by Nian Shutong hasn’t been consumed yet; she’s waiting for their true mellowness.
The food and drink factories roughly looked like this.
As food production increases, more might be added, but for now, it appears they’re already busy.
After exiting the food factory, Nian Shutong went to the cosmetics factory.
The perfumes here still mainly had only the rose scent, but this time, Nian Shutong added some different fragrances, some blended, some purely from one flower. There were also some new face masks and lipsticks.
Schemes for plant essential oils and the combination of cultivation and technology resulted in incredibly effective products.
Everything put on Little River Live would sell almost instantly.
By the time Nian Shutong emerged from the factory district, dusk had begun to fall, with a slight haze.
She stood above the factory area, watching as the factories below expanded. Did she really own so much already?
After a moment of awe, Nian Shutong brought a stack of drawings back to Rubble’s doorstep again.
This time, she felt a bit embarrassed herself.
“Is Ms. Nian Shutong lost?”
Rubble appeared, looking at Nian Shutong holding a pile of paper.
“Based on previous instances, Ms. Nian Shutong is unlikely to feel embarrassed, so are you unwell?”
Nian Shutong blocked Rubble’s attempt to take her temperature with one finger and said, “Would you rather assume I’m sick than think I’m shy?”
“Ms. Nian Shutong, don’t be absurd. Your chance of being ill is far greater than you being shy.”
Rubble spoke with earnest sincerity, with a sense of having concluded a universal truth.
“Alright, you’re right. I’m not shy; I’m here to pressure you into working for me.”
Nian Shutong stuffed a pile of drawings into Rubble’s arms.
Rubble quickly glanced over them and said, “Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble needs to correct your mistake.”
“Mistake? Where did I go wrong?”
“Ms. Nian Shutong, your pile of drawings presents no challenge for Rubble. Please do not let your intelligence gauge Rubble’s workload difficulty.”
Nian Shutong blinked. The translated meaning was that her assignment was too simple, and her guilt from her perceived lack of intelligence was unnecessary.
“Thank you very much.”
Nian Shutong turned and left.
Rubble watched her from behind.
“True honesty is the best way to communicate.”
Rubble went inside with Nian Shutong’s drawings, finding them childishly simple.
Meanwhile, as Nian Shutong reached her doorstep, a familiar robot stopped her.
Wasn’t this the robot Fu Yunhe assigned to deliver flowers to her?
“Hello, boss, I’m here to deliver flowers and a package.”
The robot handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers and a box.
Nian Shutong took the flowers, sniffed them, and noticed they didn’t have much scent.
“Did you know this robot waited for you the entire day?”
Lin Mu strolled over, munching loudly on a cucumber.
“Waited the whole day for me?”
“Yes, it arrived just after you left; Dou Dou told me.”
After Lin Mu finished talking, he informed Nian Shutong, “Dinner’s ready.”
“Alright, I’m coming.”
Nian Shutong arranged the flowers and, upon seeing the box, already knew it contained crystal stones.
That man, not bad.
