Chapter 81 The Temptation of Food Makes Mimi and Everyone Enjoy Delicious Food
The live stream was scheduled for a sunny morning that seemed to be specially lit for the cats.
Isabella's studio has a stylish and bright background, while the Meow Meow Farm live-streaming corner on the other end of the line is decorated in a warm and natural style.
The background features lush potted cat grass, and the wooden shelves display various farm-produced products, as well as all the packaging and poster designs from the farm's inception to the present.
As soon as the live stream started, the number of viewers exceeded expectations.
Isabella began in her usual efficient style, succinctly explaining the cooperation concept and her commitment to pet food safety.
When the camera switched to Shi Wan's side, the comments section instantly became lively.
"Wow! Is this the legendary farmer? She's so gentle and beautiful!"
"Is that real catnip in the background? It's growing so well!"
"Where's the cat? Where's the cat taste tester? I came to see the cat!"
Shi Wan, dressed in a simple cotton-linen shirt, smiled gently and waved to the camera.
"Hello everyone, I'm your host Xiaowan today. Welcome to Meow Meow Mimi Farm."
She turned to the side to show the environment behind her, "The cat grass you see here is all grown on our farm, and it's also one of the key ingredients in our new cat grass biscuits."
She didn't elaborate on the technical aspects, but instead, responding to the netizens' calls, she smiled and said, "It seems everyone is getting impatient, so please welcome our special guest tasters for today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the cats, who had been eagerly waiting outside the camera, entered the scene with steps that were either elegant, domineering, or adorable, guided by Su Qing.
Leading the charge was Tangyuan, who wore a small orange hat and exuded a powerful aura.
He walked with the perfect cat gait, his heterochromatic eyes shimmering under the lights, and went straight to his designated soft cushion to sit down. He tucked his paws in, raised his chin slightly, and exuded the domineering aura of a powerful CEO.
The screen was instantly flooded with comments like "Ahhh, CEO!" and "That hat! Those glasses! I'm dead!"
Next up was DouDou, a big fan of the clan leader. He tried to imitate TangYuan's composure, but his slightly stiff steps and his ears twitching with curiosity betrayed his inner excitement.
DouDou walked to the mat next to Tangyuan and sat down, but because she sat down too quickly, her bottom slipped and she almost fell over. She quickly braced herself with her paws and tried to remain calm.
The comments section was filled with messages like, "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Did he slip and pretend he wasn't embarrassed?" and "So cute! It's true that when people or animals are embarrassed, they all pretend to be busy, haha!"
Mianmian fully displayed her beauty and cuteness. She slowly walked to her seat, first licking her paws unhurriedly, then tidying up the long fur on her chest, before sitting down gracefully, glancing at the camera with just the right amount of curiosity.
Another guest, who was invited as a special taster, was carefully carried in by Su Qing.
This is an older calico cat, brought here by a nearby villager. The old cat is too old to be a stray anymore; she's old enough to be a great-grandmother in human terms.
So Shi Wan named her "Momo" (嬷嬷), intending to take care of her in her old age.
She tucked her paws in, half-closed her eyes, and calmly settled into the most comfortable cat bed, as if she had seen this kind of scene many times before.
Wow! So many cats! They're all incredibly good-looking!
"That white cat has heterochromia! Is it a Linqing lion cat? It's so ethereal!"
"The tabby cat is so handsome! His chubby face is so cute, but he seems a little nervous, hahaha!"
"Grandma Sanhua looks so composed!"
When it came time for the product introduction, Shi Wan picked up different series of cookies and explained them in the context of the characteristics of cats.
“This kitten growth treat has a soft and crumbly texture,” Shi Wan said, picking up a blue, fish-shaped biscuit. “It’s perfect for kittens like the ones that just came to our farm, or for little ones at home whose teeth haven’t fully grown in yet.”
At this moment, the camera focused on a few-month-old orange kitten that had been temporarily brought in to play a guest role at the farm. She was happily chewing on a soft chew stick, her round body looking like a fluffy ball.
"Ahhh, little orange pig!"
"So cute!"
"Trying to steal!"
Isabella, on the other side of the screen, picked up the conversation, holding a small bone-shaped green biscuit for adult cats. "This one has a moderate hardness, suitable for energetic adult cats like Tangyuan and Doudou. It can help dissolve hairballs and promote digestion."
As soon as she finished speaking, DouDou, who had been unable to contain herself, twitched her nose a few times, as if she had smelled the aroma of the cookies. She couldn't help but reach out her paw to try to grab the cookies in Shi Wan's hand, but Shi Wan gently stopped her, saying, "DouDou, be patient, it's not time for the tasting yet."
DouDou whimpered in grievance and withdrew its paw, but its eyes remained fixed on the biscuit.
The comments section was filled with laughter.
DouDou: I don't care, I want to eat!
"Okay, okay, I understand. Go feed the child!"
When it was the elders' turn for a relaxing meal, Shi Wan took a small star-shaped yellow cookie, walked to the nanny's side, and spoke gently.
"This one is designed for elderly people like grandmas, with a softer texture and a focus on joint care."
She held the biscuit to the old woman's lips.
The usually composed nanny finally opened her eyes slightly, sniffed the air, and then slowly opened her mouth to eat in small bites, chewing very carefully. After finishing, she licked her lips with a very content expression.
The comments section quickly filled with messages.
"The old lady is so elegant!"
"She's clearly a sophisticated old lady!"
"Does the nanny need someone to keep her company and provide companionship in her old age?"
The most exciting part was the formal tasting session.
When different series of cookies were placed in front of the tasters, the reactions varied, creating a highly entertaining program.
Tangyuan first sniffed the adult cat energy biscuit in front of her with a reserved air, and then stretched out her paw with pink paw pads to poke at it. After confirming that it was the right one, she took a small bite and chewed it carefully. Her eating manners were elegant. After finishing, she wiped her mouth with her paw and meowed at the camera, as if she was giving a score.
Bingbing, on the other hand, was a completely different story. He practically buried his face in the food bowl and wolfed down his food, finishing his portion in no time. Then, he licked the empty plate with lingering satisfaction, gazing longingly at Shi Wan with his tail wagging obsequiously.
Mianmian ate delicately but quickly, keeping a watchful eye on Bingbing next to her as she ate, afraid that the hungry girl would try to steal her food.
Meanwhile, the little orange tabby was holding a kitten growth biscuit that was bigger than her face, and was munching on it with her little baby teeth, making smacking sounds, which charmed many netizens.
"Hahaha, a massive mukbang livestream!"
"Has my pancake been starving for three lifetimes?"
"Even eating is so beautiful for Tangyuan!"
Mianmian: Don't touch me, especially that pig next to me!
"Keep up the good work, little orange pig! The future is bright! Look at the semi-trailer next to you! That's your future!"
The atmosphere in the live stream was incredibly lively, and the number of orders was growing rapidly.
During the interactive session, netizens asked all sorts of questions.
"Does the farm need more cats? The kind that can climb trees?"
Will eating too many cookies make you a picky eater?
"Could Tangyuan wear that orange hat and appear on camera the entire time during the next live stream?"
Will stray cats have a chance to eat these functional biscuits in the future?
Shi Wan and Isabella patiently and humorously answered all the questions about stray cats. Shi Wan sincerely stated that at present, they mainly focus on cat food that ensures basic food and warmth, but if conditions permit in the future, they will consider developing products that are more suitable for the physical condition of stray cats.
This answer garnered another wave of goodwill.
The live stream ended successfully in a lingering, enjoyable atmosphere.
After turning off the device, Shi Wan, Su Qing, and Isabella on the screen all breathed a long sigh of relief.
“The results were even better than I expected,” Isabella affirmed first, with a satisfied smile on her face. “The interaction rate and conversion rate both exceeded expectations. The key is how much netizens love the cats, and our product explanations became much more vivid because of their demonstrations.”
While distributing extra dried fish as a reward to the cats who were licking and grooming each other after their excitement, Su Qing carefully checked the backend data.
"Orders have surged, especially for the Adult Cat Vitality Source and Kitten Growth Joy series. Screenshots and memes from netizens are already circulating on social media!"
Shi Wan rubbed her slightly sore shoulders, a relaxed smile on her face.
She was very satisfied, even surprised, with the results of the live stream. Initially, she was not in favor of Su Qing's suggestion of partial pre-sales.
Because she herself disliked pre-sales when shopping online, Su Qing took out a table and pointed to several specific numbers that she had circled to explain that if the pre-sales were kept within the required quantity, the production capacity could catch up within a week at the latest, and short-term pre-sales could be considered.
Shi Wan agreed, but made an additional request that the pre-sale be separated from the spot goods and that the pre-sale be opened only after the spot goods inventory was sold out.
She didn't want to keep everyone waiting too long.
"I'm glad everyone liked it. The main thing is that they performed so well," she said, looking at the group of furry heroes in front of her. "They were all incredibly supportive."
"The next step is to ensure that production capacity keeps up and that there are no mistakes in the delivery process," Isabella reminded.
"Don't worry, the production plan and logistics have all been arranged." Su Qing immediately regained her capable demeanor and answered crisply.
The three briefly discussed follow-up publicity matters before concluding this successful collaboration.
The next day, the weather remained fine.
Shi Wan and Su Qing went to inspect the production workshop in Zone 2 as usual.
The expanded and standardized workshop is now cleaner and brighter. The workers are all wearing uniform work clothes, hairnets and masks, busy at their respective posts, strictly adhering to hygiene standards and operating procedures.
The air was filled with the subtle aroma of the ingredients themselves, and the machine was running smoothly and steadily.
"Everyone seems to be in good spirits," Su Qing said softly to Shi Wan as they walked and looked around.
With her keen eye, she scanned every step to ensure there were no oversights.
“Yes,” Shi Wan nodded, “After the previous turmoil and yesterday’s live broadcast, everyone seems to be even more motivated.”
She noticed that some workers had noticed them and were giving them friendly, slightly proud smiles.
The two walked through the packaging area, watching as bags printed with cat paw prints and the Meow Meow Farm logo were quickly and accurately sealed and boxed.
"The launch of the new product is a great start," Su Qing changed the subject and got into work mode, "We need to consider the direction of the next wave of products. Do you have any ideas, Mr. Shi?"
Shi Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I've done a lot of experiments in my spare time, and they're all recorded in an encrypted document. I also have some ideas, such as safe feeding recipes for picky cats, snacks with more local ingredients, or even some desserts that cats can eat... However, many of them didn't go into depth because of the realities or raw material supply issues at the time."
Su Qing's eyes lit up. "There's such a treasure document? Send me the key when you get back, I'll study it carefully. Considering our farm's now stable raw material system and production capacity, there might really be some treasures to be found inside. Let's select two or three of the most promising categories and conduct the next feasibility analysis."
"Okay," Shi Wan replied with a smile.
She knew Su Qing's ability to execute tasks; entrusting this matter to her would be the right thing to do.
After the inspection, it was lunchtime.
The two turned towards the cafeteria in tacit agreement.
Even before you get close, a rich and enticing aroma of food wafts over you.
It's the warm, smoky flavor of various ingredients mingling under the heat, with the richness of stewed meat, the wok hei of stir-fried dishes, and the sweetness of steamed rice...
"Looks like the cafeteria lady did an exceptional job again today," Su Qing sniffed, a look of anticipation on her face. "Smells like she made braised pork and stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers?"
Shi Wan smiled too, the fatigue from a busy morning seemed to be dispelled by the familiar aroma of food. "Come on, let's go try it, or your favorite braised pork will be gone!"
