Farming in the Apocalypse

Chapter 562 I Want All the Products of the Stone Garden

If the Stone Garden's products alone could support 50,000 people, it would be absolutely impossible. Take the current Stone Garden for example. Due to the limited planting area, insufficient feed for livestock, and other constraints, even if the labor force was divided into many tasks and all available resources were utilized, the Stone Garden could only support 20,000 people at most, given the production and livestock it could support.

The profits from dividends and 20% of the products have to be stored, so even fewer people can be fed.

So Jingshu's statement is that providing accommodation is fine, but providing food is a big problem. To feed 50,000 people, the two Shiyuans combined are not enough, and they even have to pay for it.

And you have to know how difficult it is to manage the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of tens of thousands of people. Now you are talking about managing 50,000 people. Isn’t this bullshit?

Bugs? Which bugs? Can bugs feed 50,000 people? The shareholders all looked at Jingshu. Even if Qian Duoduo's behavior seemed a little fishy, ​​it was not enough for them to understand the meaning of this statement.

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Almost. It's not just the insect meat. We can also expand our business and find ways to make more food. Making earthworm cakes can also save a lot of resources. In short, Zheng Fu has no reason to refuse the condition of feeding 50,000 people."

Compared with before, when Zhengfu arranged 20,000 people there, now the second phase of Shiyuan helps Zhengfu solve the housing and food problems of 50,000 people, which really solves a huge problem.

"How much insect meat would be needed to provide daily rations for 50,000 people?"

Old Xu knocked on the bar and looked up to ask Jingshu, "If the Securities and Futures Commission agrees and the output of the second phase of the Stone Garden becomes ours, how are you going to make a profit? How are you going to be able to provide for 50,000 people while still paying dividends to shareholders and then making a profit yourself?"

You can’t do business at a loss, right? If your food supply chain is broken and you run out of food, what will you do next?”

Old Xu's questions were very sharp and to the point. In everyone's opinion, there was no possibility of making a profit during this period. No matter how you calculated it, it was a losing business. Moreover, once the food supply was cut off, how would they support the 50,000 people in Shiyuan?

There is no food at all now because of the famine. If you regret it later, you will probably die a miserable death.

Jingshu chuckled. The possibility of the food chain being broken was very small, and in order to ensure this food supply chain, she also had a backup plan.

"Is there any profit point... I can only say that raising large numbers of new insect species over there also costs money, and they also need a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains to feed themselves. I think it's worthwhile to exchange a small amount of luxury goods for twice the insect meat that can feed more people. Besides, what I'm doing is mutually beneficial. I'm also a shareholder of the Stone Garden, and I'm happy to protect the interests of the second phase of the Stone Garden."

Some shareholders frowned, and some of them who were quick-witted already understood what Jingshu meant.

By exchanging the fresh food produced in the stone garden for insect meat, a large number of people can be fed.

"As for if the food supply chain is really broken... Mr. Qian, do you think I will have no way out?" Jingshu asked back. Most of the other shareholders did not know that Jingshu also had a red nematode factory and was cooperating with Qian Duoduo on worm cakes. Therefore, even if the food supply chain was broken, Jingshu still had a large amount of worm cakes stored.

These insect cakes are another trump card that Jingshu has left.

"Old Xu, don't worry about this. Even if her food supply chain is temporarily broken, she's capable of replenishing it. I just want to ask," Qian Duoduo said solemnly, "Do you really have enough insect meat to feed 50,000 people? When will the first batch of meat be put into production? If you're really like you said, then everything else is easy to deal with. Shiyuan won't let you suffer any loss!"

Jing Shu coughed and said, "That's about it. Of course, we need to add some other ingredients. The first batch is already in Wucheng. As long as you want, we can put it into production at any time!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Qian Duoduo excitedly said three "good" words in a row. "Look, by then, apart from the daily income of the second phase of the Stone Garden, all the products will belong to you, Jingshu. What do you think? If it's not enough, we can even reduce the products that everyone gets as dividends."

Qian Duoduo knew that since Jingshu had said so before, this condition should be favorable.

It was worth it, but he was willing to make another concession. Even if insect meat was not as valuable as rice and vegetables, it was still food that could feed people. In this doomsday world where food was becoming increasingly scarce, it was precious.

Even Lao Xu said: "I am willing to reduce my dividends. It's good enough to keep our dividends. It's better than virtual currency."

"Yeah, I do, too."

Jingshu smiled and said, "There's no need to reduce the dividends. Let's just follow Shiyuan's. However, I do need to take the other products back to exchange for insect meat."

Originally, he just wanted to be a middleman, but he didn't expect that God would really help Jingshu. Zheng Fu gave Shi Yuan a difficult problem. Now in order to solve this problem, Qian Duoduo and his team had to make concessions, which happened to benefit Jingshu.

Jingshu closed her eyes and was already thinking about how to use the extra fresh food.

"I just didn't expect that Jun Bao didn't tell Jin Tianci the quantity and details. Otherwise, he would know how many people such a large number of insects can feed. I wonder if Jin Tianci will regret it." Jingshu knew that there would definitely not be so many things to sell to Zhengfu, and Zhengfu didn't have an ecological park that could provide much fresh food.

"Then it's settled. Let's raise our glasses to thank Jingshu for her generosity and wit for solving a huge problem for us." Qian Duoduo finally raised his glass for the first time, exhaled a sigh of relief, and said, "Then let's see the first batch of insect meat, and then go to Jin Tianci with sincerity to have a good talk. I think he'll be happy to do it."

Qian Duoduo immediately dispatched people to take over the first batch of 200 giant gastropods. When the giant gastropods from the suburbs were transported to the second phase of the stone garden, they filled the hall on the first floor with ferocious looks and made hissing sounds, and many people were almost scared to death.

Especially when the canteen chefs were preparing to make a new batch of food, the knives in their hands began to tremble. They were just chefs, not executioners!

This is simply a group of beasts on the same level as elephants. The sharp blades on their legs are reflecting light, which makes people scared. There is no doubt that if someone dares to kill them, they will encounter resistance and may even be killed!

"Alive? How can we make it into a cooked food? Killing these bugs is a hassle, right?"

"Didn't you say we should cook? You didn't say we should kill the bugs."
