Although Fu Chengzhuo has no chance to be the spokesperson for Guanju brand ginger candy, the Economic Development Department has taken advantage of his traffic. He is a male star with a hit drama, and his exposure is amazing. If Du Ruoxiang hadn't interfered, he might have been running activities all over the country.

Fans are already tired of his product endorsements, and they finally found out what he really likes to eat, so they naturally swarmed to buy it. The scale of the ginger candy company is not big, and it doesn't look like it can hire a celebrity to promote it, which in turn deepens the credibility of the delicious ginger candy.

It has to be said that Xiao Huang, as a ginger demon, has developed ginger candy that tastes different.

Everyone tried it out of curiosity at first, and after tasting it, many people really praised it, and even bought more ginger candy later.

[Amazing taste, sweetness alone would be greasy, but it is mixed with a hint of spiciness, which is not the feeling of other ginger candies. ]

[I recently bought some because I like watching Fu Chengzhuo's drama. The stuff is not expensive and the taste is okay. I couldn't stop eating after opening a bag, so I bought it again. Will this thing make me get angry? ]

[I tested it myself and it doesn't make me get angry. I finished two bags last night. I'm fine now. ]

[This is the taste of handmade ginger candy made by my grandma when she was a child! I have specially looked for it before, but other shops don't taste like this! ]

[Is there nothing addictive in this candy? I can't stop eating

it. ] [It can't be added at this price. ]

[It's not as exaggerated as it is. It's just that the ginger and sugar are well used. Other merchants don't cut corners and taste the same. ]

[Delicious, delicious, crunchy. I was afraid to eat it because of indigestion, but it got better after eating it. ]

[I don’t like ginger candy, I bought it for Zhuozhuo, but it tastes really good. It seems that we can eat together. ]

Buyers are discussing the magical taste of Guanju brand ginger candy. They think it is different from other brands and can be called flavored ginger candy.

What kind of flavor can it have? It should be a demonic smell.

Xiao Huang’s research and development technology is not very advanced. He just knows ginger better than humans, and he has some small tricks for making it.

Guanju brand ginger candy is naturally not made with Xiao Huang. It uses ordinary high-quality ginger, solid ingredients, and low prices. Each can of flavored ginger candy is priced at more than ten yuan. You can hold the ginger candy jar in your arms and eat it. It is not expensive compared to similar competing products.

Of course, the production cost of ginger candy is also not high. The raw materials are ginger, rock sugar, brown sugar, maltose syrup and sesame, etc., without any fancy additions. As long as the sales of this kind of fast-moving consumer goods are opened, and the cost is reasonably managed and controlled, the final gross profit will be considerable.

The advertising effect of "Fu Chengzhuo's Same Style" brings in 30,000+ sales in a week. As long as these orders are completed, there will be roughly 200,000 to 300,000 in revenue. If the subsequent repurchase rate is higher and can be sustained steadily, the annual revenue will never be less than that of green tea.

The Observation Bureau only has 50 acres of tea gardens, and the tea production is still limited, but the production of ginger candy will not be troubled by production, at least there will be no time limit for the tea picking season.

Chu Zhishui calculated in his mind that this income could make up for the loss of filling the account for Director Miao, and there would even be more income in the future, so the bureau could issue another round of performance bonuses. As long as they could survive this year, they would sell four times more tea next year, which would be new income, and the performance would not drop.

The Economic Development Department did what it said, and informed Director Hu and Director He, and from then on, the performance bonus would be increased by 100 yuan every month, for a total of 8,000 yuan. In addition to the regular monthly increase, there should be a surplus in the account at the end of the year, which would be used to issue year-end bonuses and New Year's goods!

For a while, the Huaijiang Observation Bureau was filled with joy, and the atmosphere was filled with happiness. Even Director He's hearing loss was slightly healed.

In the Economic Development Department, the happiness brought by performance also spread in the office. Jin Yu was undoubtedly the happiest one. Her initial salary was less than 2,000 yuan, and now her income has increased several times. She even straightened her back.

"From now on, I am a rich man!" Jin Yu put her hands on her waist, and she was overjoyed. She rarely dared to speak loudly in the room and announced, "I told Brother Niu yesterday that I would treat everyone to milk tea today. Let him bring it back when he helps me purchase goods!"

Chu Zhishui laughed and teased: "Are you so generous?"

"Yes, everyone has a share, I want to treat everyone too."

Chu Zhishui often buys afternoon tea and brings it to the office, but never charges others.

In the past, Jin Yu was short of money, and it was difficult to go out for purchases without a car, so she could not find a chance to return the invitation. But now her salary has increased significantly, and she thinks it is worth celebrating and commemorating, so she specifically asked Niu Shi to help bring back milk tea.

A moment later, Jin Yu returned with pearl milk tea. There were two people and two monsters in the Economic Development Department, so there were exactly four cups. Jin Yu picked up the plastic bag and began to distribute them in order.

Chen Zhuhui took the milk tea and thanked her honestly: "Thank you, Sister Jin Yu."

Jin Yu distributed the milk tea to the only intern in the department, and then took the milk tea to find the remaining colleagues. She glanced at Xin Yunmao, but she was still afraid of the other party's aura, so she simply handed both cups of milk tea to Chu Zhishui, so that she could pass it on without having to face the big monster head-on.

"Thank you."

Chu Zhishui thanked him and put the pearl milk tea on her desk. Suddenly she remembered that Xin Yunmao didn't like this and preferred fruit tea. Unfortunately, Jin Yu didn't know that. She hesitated for a moment and put another cup on his desk. She couldn't let Jin Yu down.

At this moment, the door of the Economic Development Department was knocked. Miao Lu poked his head in from outside. He was wearing a demon-suppressing robe and asked with great interest: "I heard that you were looking for me recently?"

Everyone was stunned holding their milk tea.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Miao Lu was still catty. His facial features were mixed-blood. He rolled his eyes and observed the situation. He tilted his head and said: "Are you having afternoon tea?"

Miao Lu's appearance disturbed the originally peaceful office.

Jin Yu was facing her natural enemy, she immediately became alert and hurriedly found an excuse to leave: "I'll go give money to Brother Niu!"

Miao Lu didn't mind seeing her run away, he walked into the house easily and came to the middle of Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao.

There happened to be a cup of milk tea on the desk, which was the cup that Xin Yunmao hadn't opened. Miao Lu took it generously, holding the straw and piercing it with a plop, he happily enjoyed the milk tea, and lazily poked at the bamboo: "I'll help you drink it, you're welcome."

"Why did you come?" Xin Yunmao frowned slightly, he lightly clicked his tongue and sneered, "Everything is resolved, you finally showed up."

Director Miao was busy with other things not long ago, and always dragged his feet to ignore the peach blossom demon, which caused Xin Yunmao, whose yard was occupied, to feel resentful.

Director Miao took a big sip of milk tea, and seeing that the other party looked unhappy, he pretended to be surprised: "No way, no way, you didn't know that it was Chief Chu who invited me here?"

Xin Yunmao: "!!?"

Xin Yunmao looked at Chu Zhishui in disbelief, and even his clear eyes trembled up and down. He seemed to be unable to believe that she let the cat into the house, and inexplicably revealed a trace of sadness of being betrayed.

Chu Zhishui tilted his head guiltily: "Indeed, I was the one who went

to see Director Miao for some work matters." Miao Lu successfully hit Xin Yunmao, he immediately became cheerful, and continued to fan the flames: "Tell me, for the sake of our former friendship, I can help with any matter, whether it's work or something else."

Chu Zhishui said kindly: "I want Director Miao to help with live streaming and selling goods."

"Live streaming and selling goods?"

"Yes, just face the camera for an hour every day. It won't take up too much of your time."

Miao Lu widened his cat eyes, and when he heard that he couldn't move for an hour, he knew that it went against the instinct of the cat family. His body stiffened, and he turned around and said, "I suddenly remembered something else, meow..."

Chu Zhishui grabbed Miao Lu who was trying to escape, and said with a smile, "Director Miao, do you remember that you owed our department money? Shouldn't monsters reciprocate?"

Because Miao Lu was too destructive when performing her mission, she made the poor Observation Bureau even worse. Later, she transferred money from the Economic Development Department's account to fill the bill, which caused Xin Yunmao to be angry with her during that time.

Miao Lu was caught in a critical situation. He felt a little embarrassed. He suddenly caught sight of a demon and asked in a misleading way, "Why don't you let him do this?"

Xin Yunmao said nonchalantly, "Don't humiliate yourself. You don't deserve the same treatment as me."

"Is it because he doesn't look good?" Miao Lu asked maliciously, "Sure enough, humans only like cats."

"How can my believers bear to let me show up in public?" Xin Yunmao raised his chin proudly and laughed, "Only cunning cats are suitable for making jokes. Flattery is not what you are best at. I, who am upright and upright, really can't do it."

Miao Lu showed his claws and said angrily, "I really want to give you two claws when I see you."

Why didn't he find Xin Yunmao so annoying before? He was a nuisance when he didn't open his mouth, and he was even more annoying when he opened his mouth.

"Restrain your instinct for the cat teaser." Chu Zhishui stepped forward to persuade him, "We are going to start working."

Next to them, Chen Zhuhui had already set up the live broadcast equipment while they were talking, and it seemed that she was well prepared.

Miao Lu cunningly declined: "I have never done this before. I am not good at talking to the camera. I am no longer at the age of meowing every day."

Chu Zhishui: "That's perfect. You don't need to talk."

"No need? How to broadcast live?"

"You should restore your original form first."

"?"

Miao Lu looked confused.

Chu Zhishui smiled and said: "Miao Chu was right just now. Humans only like cats, so please broadcast live in your original form."

Miao Lu: "???"

Chu Zhishui certainly couldn't let the staff of the Observation Bureau show up, but there must be something on the screen in the live broadcast room. Merchandise alone is not attractive. She saw other live broadcast rooms occasionally bring pets out, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. Maybe she could use the original form of the monster, so that they would not be recognized when they are in human form.

She shared this idea with Jin Yu, but he felt it was inappropriate.

Jin Yu explained: "We usually don't reveal our true form after we transform into humans. It would be a bit rude to do so. It's weird anyway. Only the transformed monsters with weak abilities will reveal some characteristics of their true form."

Chu Zhishui questioned: "But I often see Miao Chu using his cat form to shuttle around in the bureau?"

Jin Yu's expression was subtle. She was speechless and hesitated: "Miao Chu's words... are not incomprehensible. People often don't understand his ideas."

"Don't understand his ideas?"

"Anyway, revealing your true form is like wearing clothes backwards." Jin Yu said tangledly, "You can do this, but it's really inappropriate."

After hearing this, Chu Zhishui knew that she couldn't find other monsters. It would be bad to let any monster wear clothes backwards. She could only find Miao Chu, who liked this.

In the office, Miao Lu found an empty corner to restore his original form. The black cat with dark clouds stepping on snow stood reluctantly in front of the camera, wishing that his face was full of resentment, even his ears were trembling with frustration, and his tail was wagging absent-mindedly.

He did often do some unorthodox things in the bureau, but he never thought that he would have to pay a price for it and be forced to accept live streaming to bring goods.

Xin Yunmao had long been tired of the other party using the cat's body to kidnap people, and he couldn't help but gloat: "It's just right to change your problem. You have been transformed into a human for so many years, and you still choose to use your original form. It's really a bit wrong."

The black cat glared at him angrily, but now he couldn't speak, and couldn't even talk back.

"Director Miao, please stand next to the scalp nourishing cream so we can take a picture?" Chen Zhuhui looked at the black cat at a loss, and it was difficult to associate it with the young man with deep facial features.

The black cat was lazy and didn't want to move, looking unwilling to do business, and its furry tail was dangling lazily.

Chu Zhishui: "Director Miao, there will be no fish in the cafeteria next week."

"Meow——"

The black cat protested, then stood up and pretended to cooperate in taking pictures.

Life still took its toll on this little cat.

The black cat served as a mascot in the live broadcast room for a while, and cooperated with Chen Zhuhui to leave some product photos. When the hour was over, it immediately ran away, saying that it was unwilling to stay in the Economic Development Division any longer. He doesn't want to show his true form recently. He is happy to turn into a cat to annoy other monsters, but he is not happy to be forced to turn into a cat and make jokes in the live broadcast room.

Chu Zhishui looked at the black cat's back without chasing it. She stood at the door of the Economic Development Department and reminded, "There are two times a week."

"Meow-meow-"

Chu Zhishui didn't understand cat language, so she just agreed to it.

Maoxuan was found for live broadcasting, and the product information was produced by Chen Zhuhui. The only thing left was the most critical production link.

Chu Zhishui met Boss Peng in Yinhai City. At that time, he learned a lot of ginseng planting experience and established long-term cooperation with him. He agreed to send him ginseng information after returning to Huaijiang.

The sun was shining, the weather gradually became sultry, and the sky was as blue as a crystal mirror.

Chu Zhishui was going to the forest area to check the ginseng planting. As soon as she got up and went out with the car key in her hand, she felt someone behind her. She turned around and saw Xin Yunmao following her slowly.

He was wearing a light-colored short-sleeved shirt. He glanced at her silently, as if he didn't know what to say. He turned his head slightly and glanced at her with his peripheral vision.

"I'm going to Lao Bai's place. Do you want to come with me?" Chu Zhishui smiled and said, "It's been a while since I drove out."

Since the work at the tea garden was over, they didn't drive out much.

Xin Yunmao was a little awkward at first, but when he heard her take the initiative to invite him, he said softly, "Yes."

The place where Lao Bai grows ginseng is located in the forest area not far from the tea garden. From a high place, you can see the lush green tea trees. The environment here is more quiet and primitive. It has not been artificially managed and planned. It is completely the growth environment of wild ginseng.

The garden ginseng planting area is not here. Here are all the forest ginseng planted by Lao Bai, and some wild ginseng he transplanted.

The forest is quiet and green.

Chu Zhishui stood under the shade of the tree, not daring to step on it rashly, for fear of damaging anything. After listening to Lao Bai's introduction, she wondered, "If you move wild ginseng from other places, won't this ginseng become mountain-moving ginseng?"

She learned a lot of knowledge from Boss Peng. Some people would move wild ginseng to their own mountains to continue planting it, making it look better and sell it at a higher price, but this kind of ginseng still has losses compared to pure natural wild ginseng.

"How can it be called Mountain-Mountain Ginseng if ginseng chooses its own place to live?" Lao Bai retorted confidently, "You humans choose a new place to grow and call it Mountain-Mountain Ginseng, but of course it doesn't count as ginseng we choose ourselves. This is our wish!"

Chu Zhishui said politely, "The way you judge ginseng is different from the way humans do..."

"What do humans know about ginseng! Only ginseng can understand ginseng!" Lao Bai said unconvinced, "And the ginseng I grow is not called forest ginseng, it should be called wild ginseng, and I don't use human planting methods."

"Okay, I won't argue with you, I'm not convincing on species." Chu Zhishui said numbly, "You understand, you understand best."

She shouldn't have talked about ginseng with the ginseng monster, the other party didn't accept human market standards at all.

Chu Zhishui was curious: "So how much is our current production? Ginseng needs time to grow, right? If we want to sell a batch of forest ginseng, do we have to wait for several years?"

"If it grows normally, it will be like this." Lao Bai glanced at Xin Yunmao behind Chu Zhishui, winked, and whispered, "But if there is the magic energy of the God, it will be like the tea garden at the beginning, and it will soon enter the harvest period."

Xin Yunmao is a plant demon, and his magic energy is beneficial to plants. Not only can it stimulate the seeds in the ground overnight, but it can also make the green tea that has been irrigated have the effect of nourishing demons.

The growth cycle of ginseng is longer, and the amount of magic energy required is naturally large. The ginseng that has been irrigated will no longer be contaminated with magic energy and cannot nourish demons, but it can grow rapidly to meet the qualified standards in the human market.

Of course, Lao Bai also had his own plans. Although the ginseng he planted could not nourish the monsters, as a ginseng monster, he could still get some of the monster's aura when he was in the forest every day.

Chu Zhishui was startled when she heard this. She looked back at Xin Yunmao and found that he was also secretly looking at her. She turned back to look at Lao Bai and said, "Okay, I know."

Lao Bai couldn't wait to get some of the monster's aura, so he naturally showed active and proactive behavior. He hurriedly said, "Then let's go now..."

"No, you finish this first, and then we'll go to the ginseng garden to have a look."

Lao Bai was stunned when he heard this. He was completely confused. He didn't understand why Xin Yunmao didn't let him water the plants now that he was here, but instead went to the ginseng garden area.

However, since Chu Zhishui said so, Lao Bai did not ask any more questions and said, "Okay, I'll clean up here and we'll go down."

After Lao Bai left, Chu Zhishui changed the subject and said softly, "Let's go to the woods. I think I saw some wood ear mushrooms just now."

Xin Yunmao stood there without moving.

Chu Zhishui did not hear the movement behind her. She turned around in confusion and saw him standing under the shade of the tree, just like a tall tree.

The summer sun shone through the dense leaves, casting dark shadows on his light blue short sleeves and cold white skin. A breeze blew by, and the light and shadow swayed and swayed gently.

"Why don't you ask me for help?" Xin Yunmao didn't lift his legs. His face was slightly gloomy. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest. He lowered his eyes and said, "You used to ask me to water the tea garden, but now you don't even ask me to find the cat."

He has been observing her recently, but found that she seldom came to him. If he hadn't gone out with her today, she might not have asked him to come.

The ginseng demon even asked him to water the demonic energy, but she turned the page calmly and didn't continue.

He still remembered that she had coaxed him to water the tea garden. He really didn't understand what went wrong, so he naturally felt disappointed.

"But you don't actually have to do these." Chu Zhishui said in embarrassment, "Whether it's the tea garden or something else, you don't need money."

She now knew his identity. In fact, he didn't need to work. He was considered good-tempered for agreeing to do it in the past. He had already agreed to irrigate the tea garden, but adding ginseng was too much.

Xin Yunmao raised his eyes and asked, "But don't you need it?"

Chu Zhishui was silent for a moment, she sighed, and said seriously, "I need these because of work. Even if this thing fails, I can still do other things. It doesn't mean that I will work hard for the bureau and work endlessly."

"You should know that the tea is sold to Yinhai, but Director Ye and his men treat you..." Chu Zhishui paused. She didn't continue to make it clear, and said tactfully, "It will be better later."

She didn't let Xin Yunmao irrigate the ginseng immediately because she thought of the attitude of Director Ye and other monsters. After seeing their vigilance against the bamboo monster, she didn't think Xin Yunmao had to help psychologically.

Xin Yunmao didn't expect her to say that, and said in a daze: "So you know it."

He thought she rejected him and stopped taking him for no reason.

Chu Zhishui said patiently: "The money earned by the Economic Development Department is to be distributed to all employees. Maybe there are monsters who misunderstand you. If you don't want to do it, you can stay in the department and bask in the sun and take a nap on weekdays. You don't have to force yourself. The key is what do you think?"

She can't drag him along just because she wants to make money for the bureau. That feels too weird.

Even if ginseng can't make a profit immediately, she can think of other ways. Mixing friendship and work too deeply will still make her uncomfortable. At least she can't be the main beneficiary.

"So if I don't need it, are you still willing to do these?" Her eyes were clear and shining in the forest, looking at Xin Yunmao, "I hope I'm not forcing you to do anything, I want to know what you are willing to do in your heart."

Xin Yunmao met her frank eyes and suddenly felt a little dazed. He quietly avoided her sight, as if he didn't dare to look her in the eye for a long time, and thought quietly.

After a long while, he turned back and whispered, "I didn't care about their thoughts, and I didn't plan to do anything to change their minds. But you asked me if I was willing, and suddenly it's hard to answer."

"I want to help you do something, or do something with you, just like that fish or that cat, then I should be willing?" Xin Yunmao asked uncertainly. He glanced at her with his eyes, his Adam's apple moving up and down slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed and a little depressed, and muttered, "Now it's like you are not my believer."

After hearing his awkward answer, Chu Zhishui was surprised and asked, "Is this so important to you?"

"Of course it is important. You never come to me to make a wish, as if you don't need me."

There was a hint of grievance in these words.

Chu Zhishui saw him peeking at her with a cautious look, and his heart was suddenly touched by these words, and an indescribable feeling surged. Perhaps to God, he does not have the concept of friends and relatives, and the closest connection is the so-called believers.

Because she could not think of a wish and had not had a ceremony with him for a long time, he tried every means to let her make a wish, and could not wait to prove himself. He could only rely on this method to make sure that their connection was not broken.

Compared with his seemingly high-handed and complacent believer's words, what he actually revealed behind it was that he wanted to be needed by her.

He didn't want to be left aside, so he always found trouble with Jin Yu and Miao, and said some sour words from time to time, like a child who wanted to attract attention.

Xin Yunmao didn't dare to look at her. After he said those words, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Chu Zhishui suddenly got angry with him. She always felt that Huaijiang was very hot in early summer, and even her face was a little hot. She hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, if you need it, God, come and water the ginseng."

Xin Yunmao's eyes lit up slightly, and he obviously felt happy.

Chu Zhishui noticed his expression and said with a smile: "I will often make wishes to God in the future."

Xin Yunmao was stunned. He covered the corners of his raised mouth with his fingers and uttered a reserved sound: "Humph."

Because the ginseng needed to be watered, Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao were busy in the forest area for a long time, and several hours passed unknowingly.

"Let's go." Xin Yunmao finished his work and reminded, "It's time to eat."

"Are you hungry?" Chu Zhishui asked suspiciously, "But don't you need to eat?"

Xin Yunmao glanced at her with a strange look on his face: "But don't you need to eat?"

"..."

Chu Zhishui felt hungry after he said that, and she really needed to find something to fill her stomach.

When she went down the mountain, she asked Xin Yunmao to help clean her shoes. He readily agreed, snapped his fingers in an orderly manner, and helped to clean his trouser legs. He seemed to be very immersed in fulfilling his wishes now, and he was happy to just help her do these little things.

Chu Zhishui thought that she was not so innocent and cute after she was three years old, and she would not be happy for a long time just because she helped her mother with some chores. But she couldn't bear to spoil his fun, so she didn't say anything more and just let him do what he wanted.

Chu Zhishui used her mobile phone to navigate to find a restaurant, and found a farm restaurant nearby, planning to have a simple meal nearby. She ordered a staple food, a vegetable, and a bottle of water for Xin Yunmao, and then began to eat.

After a while, Xin Yunmao saw that she didn't move her chopsticks, but stared at the vegetables on the plate, and asked in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Chu Zhishui confessed: "I can't eat anymore, but I don't want to waste it." Xin Yunmao

was silent for a moment, he reached out and picked up the chopsticks, picked up the two vegetables, and ate them slowly.

"Are you hungry? Order you another portion?"

Xin Yunmao shook his head and ate the vegetables.

Chu Zhishui was surprised: "Then you..."

Xin Yunmao raised his head, looked at her meaningfully, and said resentfully: "Didn't you make a wish for me to eat your leftovers?"

"..."

Chu Zhishui blushed: "I didn't make such a wish! You don't have to eat it!"
