Sang Ning said "Oh," and then told Tang Qingyun, "The customers who placed orders earlier want to increase their orders."

Tang Qingyun paused in her work of handling sandworms.

Increasing production volume should be a good thing, as it means they can make more money.

However, the inability to keep up with production is a major problem.

Sandworms are a type of insect that cannot be farmed.

but--

How much?

"The original quantity has been doubled. In addition, customers who previously ordered 500 jin will also receive an additional ton."

Tang Qingyun responded with an "oh," but her brain quickly began to calculate.

After a long pause, she said, "The order can be completed, but the timeline will be very long."

"Even if all of us were to work together, it would be impossible to complete the order in a short period of time."

At this point, she looked at Sang Ning and said, "Go and talk to those two customers. If they're willing to wait, we'll add more; if not, there's nothing we can do."

Sang Ning hummed in agreement, but deep down she felt this wasn't a solution.

"I didn't sell all the dried meat I brought; I kept some."

Tang Qingyun didn't reply, but her feelings were complicated.

Sang Ning continued, "Aunt Tang, let's talk about whether it's possible that the remaining dried meat will also attract some customers."

"What should I do then? Refuse?"

Tang Qingyun couldn't bear to refuse; it was all money.

There's no reason to push money away.

Moreover, they need money, lots and lots of money.

It's not that you can't build houses in desert areas; you can.

However, the cost is high.

Because special building materials are required, the construction techniques needed are also different compared to land and sea construction.

As long as they have money, they can build houses that are warm in winter and cool in summer and don't shed sand.

With houses, they no longer had to worry about their sand shelters being buried by the quicksand and losing their compatriots when quicksand came.

Thinking of this, Tang Qingyun's eyes hardened.

She looked at Sang Ning and said, "We can handle up to 100 tons, but no more than that."

"However, I can lead a team to study how to cultivate sandworms."

"Will it work?"

"Having failed so many times, one more time won't make a difference."

The implication is: it's worth a try, but success is not guaranteed.

Sang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Tang, don't feel pressured. We don't only have dried meat as a specialty."

That makes sense, but the key issue is that the products their son Xiao Ningzi took out only sold dried meat, and people placed orders for it.

There's no news yet about the others.

She doesn't ask for anything else now, she just hopes that the remaining products will also be appreciated by customers who want to buy them.

Order size is not a requirement.

"You're busy, I'll go talk to Lao He about raising sandworms."

"good."

After severing ties with Tang Qingyun, Sang Ning looked at Wei Lanlan and the others.

"As usual, we can accept orders, but you'll have to wait."

How long will it take?

in unison.

Sang Ning thought for a moment and then suggested a relatively flexible timeframe, "Six months."

"There may be cases of early delivery."

"It's possible if the quality can be guaranteed."

Azure gave her answer, and James, the owner of Migo, nodded in agreement, saying, "My answer is the same as Azure's."

"no problem."

Sang Ning smiled and said, "We plan to make our jerky a signature product of Planet E72, so you can rest assured about its quality."

"In that case, let's sign the contract."

These two were decisive and went straight into the procedural stage.

The entire process of signing the contract and paying the down payment took only about ten minutes.

After seeing the third party off, Wei Lanlan raised an eyebrow. "Waiting to receive the goods."

James then added, "If possible, please ship it as soon as possible."

Sang Ning's lips twitched slightly. "We'll try our best."

There's no way to guarantee it; there's no way to guarantee it in this lifetime.

After all, the sandworms are an incredibly elusive species.

Hidden beneath the yellow sand, unable to find their lair, they can only use themselves as bait to lure them into attacking.

How many can be attracted at once is unknown.

It really depends on luck.

The owner of the stall next to James heard this and gave Sang Ning an idea.

"Actually, if your production can't keep up, you can try a different trading method."

Upon hearing this, Sang Ning and the others immediately perked up.

The three of them turned to look at the Crystal Fruit shop owner, and Sang Ning even asked, "What kind of transaction method?"

“Other planets also have sandworms, but their numbers are not as large as yours. If your jerky production can't keep up, you can simply sell the production methods.”

The boss spoke with such conviction that Sang Ning and the others stared at him as if he were an idiot.

Azure Blue retorted sharply, "An elite human like you is either poisonous or stupid."

"I'm very curious, how did someone with such a big head like you come up with such a terrible idea?"

"I think he's poison."

James chimed in, "He clearly wants to make Sang Ning's formula a public formula, the kind that anyone can use."

The Crystal Fruit shop owner turned green with anger and shouted, "I didn't!"

"I'm doing this for Sang Ning's own good. Her production can't keep up. Publishing the formula to benefit the public can both curb the sandworm infestation and allow countless people to eat free insect-killing jerky."

"It's clearly a win-win situation, so how come you all say I'm either poisonous or stupid?"

It's confirmed, he's a complete idiot.

It's undignified to argue with a complete idiot.

After glancing at this person, Sang Ning looked away and busied herself placing the items on the display stand.
