Farming in the Apocalypse

Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...

Chapter 787 Synthetic Meat Available

Chapter 787 Synthetic Meat Available

So, it was really a timely help that Jingshu was able to find a lot of warm clothes.

Jingshu also felt that the success of synthetic meat and giant cell meat came just in time, more than half a year earlier than in the previous life. How many people could have survived during this period?

If everyone can survive, no one will ask her to share food!

This is still good news.

"Bacterial meat, or giant cell meat, requires red energy. As we agreed before, you have to provide it, and then I'll give you a certain share of the profits."

"For synthetic meat, you provided the recipe, I provided the research resources, and Wu Youai and her mentor provided the research academics. From now on, I will personally provide the raw materials, so you get 25%. Is that okay?"

Jing Shu nodded. She had never imagined that she would own a stake in the food that would soon become popular throughout China! And it was quite a lot of stake at that.

The benefits are undoubtedly huge.

This time, it is no longer a small-scale business, only sold in Wucheng, but sold all over the country based on Jun Baopu’s stall!

And the most crucial point is that at least the interests are tied to the people in power in Wucheng... At least as long as Jun Bao is alive, no one will dare to covet this part of the interests.

Hey, this business has grown a little too big accidentally.

Speaking of red energy... Jingshu also felt a little painful, but at least her demand for red energy is not that great now, so she can provide some.

That's how it was settled.

Jun Bao also agreed to the garment factory matter. He would find a way to get more machines and let Jingshu open the factory first.

After the research and development is successful, it is the really busy stage.

After all, it requires a lot of investment in production, people, raw materials, machines, trade routes, etc., which are all headaches.

Finally, Jun Bao decided to increase his investment in the eight red nematode factories, and then let the worm cake factories process synthetic meat and giant cell meat.

Then, continue to advance towards the surrounding cities, acquire venues, people, etc...

She doesn't know how to do these things, and there is no need for her to decide or worry about them. She just needs to manage the meat processed by her own factory.

"The Wucheng factory will be opened together with the other factories in due time."

"Go back and recruit another group of workers. I will arrange for technicians to provide guidance."

"Synthetic meat will be sold as a mid-range food in the future. After all, the cost and taste are still higher than cell-based meat."

Jingshu nodded. At least the synthetic meat tasted like meat.

The cellular meat is a thousand times bigger... It's impossible to bite it, just like eating firewood. Apart from being edible, I'm afraid it has no other advantages.

"By the way, bone meal can be added to these ingredients as a seasoning to increase the price!" Jingshu recommended her own product. "After all, insect cakes with bone meal added sell very well!"

"Product diversification can boost economic consumption, yes."

So I discussed all the details with Jun Bao.

It’s the New Year...Jingshu couldn’t sit idle and hired some more people.

The insect cake factory will be expanded and renovated in the future to include synthetic meat and bacterial meat; the eight factories in Sichuan and Shu will also be expanded and renovated, and Jun Bao also plans to build factories in other cities.

If transportation wasn't so poor in the end times, Jun Bao would even want the entire Wucheng to focus on developing the food manufacturing industry and then transport it to various places.

Make Wucheng the richest city!

...

"Your stall is too big, it's hard to close it, right? I heard that your factories have six or seven thousand people." Jing's mother was a little worried.

There is famine all over the world now, and there is not enough food to eat anywhere.

What's more, my daughter has so many people to feed, and how many tons of food does it consume every day?

Moreover, she works in the Ministry of Agriculture and understands the current situation best. Wucheng's artificial sun relies on Wucheng's abundant resources. It burns resources and money recklessly every day, and all the energy it has finally produced is used for planting.

It’s not easy to work in the Ministry of Agriculture nowadays.

"Your uncle Niu Moo is getting worried every day.

The Ministry of Agriculture is under more pressure than the Ministry of Finance right now.”

Finance has always been the most popular area. No matter where a place wants to do something, whether it is to fight a war or replace equipment, money must be allocated. Even when paying salaries, money must be allocated.

But nowadays, the treasury is very empty. There is money for everything. Money is just a bunch of numbers in big data, and there is a lot of it.

I can allocate as much as you want, the question is do you have the supplies?

What the Ministry of Agriculture is worried about recently is the need to plant vegetables.

Cotton and soybeans must be planted, and the textile industry, processing industry, materials industry, etc. all require some resources.

Eating is important, but will society stop functioning?

Minister Niu is urged to plant various things every day because the place is so small and the resources are so limited.

This made Jing's mother very distressed as she was caught in the middle every day.

The key point is that Jing's father would often ask Jing's mother: "When are you going to plant more soybeans and get some bean dregs as feed? The livestock on our farm are suffering from indigestion from eating insect cakes every day.

Oh, and the vet said that in order to increase the chances of reproduction, they gave us some food. Can't you plant any of it?"

"If you want to grow herbs, go find your daughter!" Jing's mother said angrily.

Jing's father left quietly. He couldn't afford to offend either of the two women in the family. The Pharmaceutical Association was now growing life-saving herbs, so they wouldn't be allowed to grow that kind of herb.

How to make the chickens and ducks reproduce more and increase their nutrition has become Jing's father's recent concern.

So, even though the situation is so serious, Jingshu still recruits so many people.

Jing Shu then told Jun Bao about her cooperation with her, "Alright, don't worry. No one in Wucheng will starve to death this year."

...

The temperature in Wucheng is getting colder and colder, more than 40 degrees below zero. No one is willing to go out unless there is something special.

Jingshu really doesn't plan to go out again. Even if something happens, she will work remotely in the future.

Isn’t it nice to eat fresh fruits and cook delicious food at home?

I practiced Rubik's Cube for another three hours in the evening, and the days passed like this.

The garment factory also opened quietly half a month later.

Next, in addition to selling the first batch to Xishan and another batch to the town government, Jingshu plans to stockpile all the remaining ready-made clothes.

But it is not a rare commodity.

Now people can’t even afford to eat, how can they have money to buy clothes?

After a while, when everyone has food to eat and work to do, won’t there be extra money to buy clothes?

The first batch of synthetic meat processed extra by the insect cake factory has been produced.

There are two new products this time, ordinary synthetic meat patties, 5 virtual coins each; and delicious synthetic meat patties with bone meal added, 7 virtual coins each.

It was first sold to various departments of the town government, then to the resource department and regular workers.

Now only these people have virtual currency, and ordinary people are reluctant to eat it. The newly released synthetic meat is only circulated in chat records.

I didn’t buy the one from Xishan.

After Qian Duoduo learned about this, he bought 300 tons of insect cakes and planned to give them to the regular workers.
