The weather was too cold, and Qin's mother and Ma Zhixuan couldn't stand it at all. They left the RV supermarket after a short while.
Meanwhile, Hua Mi was at the Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket, where she began planting trees.
Hua Mi would do what she promised Qin Zhen. Last time, she planted rubber trees, camphor trees, and large-leaved linden trees, and these three types of trees have never been cut down.
As a result, they have now grown into three gigantic trees.
Hua Mi walked around the three giant trees and estimated that each tree weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.
The three trees together yielded over 30,000 jin (15,000 kg).
Hua Mi cut down these three trees.
If these three trees continue to grow like this, who knows how big they will become.
Hua Mi planned to send the three trees to the RV supermarket, ask Afu to get some wood-cutting machines, and have Ye Rong find some laborers to cut the three trees into firewood of uniform size.
First, gather some firewood and make a firewood heater that can vent smoke from a sealed room to keep Ye Rong and the others warm.
The remaining 10,000 jin were to be taken away by Qin Zhen.
Hua Mi plans to supply the remaining supplies to the garrison and police first.
Then she settled all 27 square meters of newly acquired black soil near the Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket.
Only then did Hua Mi begin planting trees.
She had previously asked Chi Chuan to buy seeds for her, no matter what kind of seeds they were, Hua Mi wanted them all.
As a result, Ikegawa found a lot of saplings and flower seeds for Hanami.
Bougainvillea, Golden Phoenix, Milan, Murraya paniculata, Ixora, Hydrangea macrophylla, Hibiscus mutabilis, Cypress, Locust, Zelkova, Castanopsis, Oak, Ginkgo, Oak.
Cotton, Schima superba, Holly, Sycamore, Ligustrum lucidum, Buxus macrocarpa, Larix gmelinii, Vitex negundo, Pinus massoniana, Pinus yunnanensis, Pinus yunnanensis, Pinus yunnanensis, and coffee.
Hua Mi planted all 27 types of saplings and flower seeds without even looking at them.
After a while, she realized what was happening and looked closely at the coffee tree in front of her. This...this doesn't seem to be cut down. We can harvest coffee beans and make coffee later.
And those flowers, even the flower-obsessed one seemed a little melancholy; those flowers couldn't be cut down for firewood.
But now that they've already been planted, can't they just be pulled out?
Looking at each patch of land, Hua Mi discovered a patch of black soil where white cotton flowers had bloomed amidst the heavy snow.
In just a short while, the snow-white cotton blossoms bloomed one by one amidst the white snow.
What a nice view.
Along with them blooming, bougainvillea, goldenrod, and hydrangea trees, which only grow in different seasons, are also gradually growing taller and thicker.
But the beautiful flowers have already blossomed vigorously.
Hua Mi immediately called the factory manager to ask what she could do with her large batch of flowers.
The factory manager was busy with the final touches at the water plant and answered casually on the phone:
"Let's build an essential oil factory and turn all those flowers into essential oils. Essential oils have many uses and various benefits. You girls will like them too, they smell so good."
The factory manager is a knowledgeable person.
Hua Mi immediately called the contractor who was so busy he was practically running around. She wanted to build an essential oil factory, the kind that extracts essential oils from flowers.
The foreman exclaimed "Oh dear!" as he looked at the densely packed group of reformed prostitutes in front of him.
Some of these prostitutes were arrested by police officers like Yang Honglin, while others were arrested by workers clearing the Hunan-A Expressway.
Some came on their own.
“Miss Hua, there are just too many women at the cotton-padded jacket factory. We need to start this essential oil factory immediately. I have a headache every day.”
It's a real headache. The weather is cold, and the contractor is busy. My head is throbbing with pain, and I desperately need some essential oil to relax my nerves.
The essential oil factory needs to start operations urgently, otherwise all the women will be crammed into the cotton-padded jacket factory, where there are too many people and the scraps of cloth and wool are almost gone.
Hua Mi asked casually:
"Where did all these women come from?"
The contractor's distressed reply
"I don't know where they got the information from, but our cotton-padded jacket factory doesn't provide wages, but it does provide cotton-padded jackets and food and drink supplies, so they all want to come to our cotton-padded jacket factory to turn themselves in."
Logically speaking, this cotton-padded jacket factory was similar to a reformatory, where women of the night were arrested and made cotton-padded jackets while receiving ideological education.
They had to keep making coats until they were released.
Gradually, even before the factory was completed, it became a sensation in Xiangcheng, City A, and City B.
Everyone knows that you can get a 2,000 yuan bonus for sending a prostitute there.
As a result, a wave of arrests of prostitutes quietly swept through Xiangcheng, City A, and City B.
In some families, for the sake of 2,000 yuan, they would label their innocent daughters as prostitutes and send them into prostitution.
Why not send them? Once inside, there's food to eat and thick cotton-padded coats to wear, and the cotton-padded coat factory is even repairing a smokeless wood-fired stove.
Isn't this better than staying at home starving and freezing?
As a result, Yang Honglin has been extremely busy these past few days.
In all his years as a police officer, he had never encountered such a large number of prostitutes turning themselves in.
The surviving families became increasingly aware of their responsibilities, and often it was their own family members who would send their elderly mothers, ranging from 80-year-old mothers to young girls, to the cotton-padded coat factory.
This haphazard approach resulted in the complete depletion of fabric scraps and wool.
The contractor felt very wronged.
"I kept expanding the prefabricated houses that the factory needed. Because of this, the cotton-padded jacket factory has been delayed indefinitely. If this continues, our factory will collapse."
“It won’t collapse.” Hua Mi laughed. “I happen to have a batch of cotton here, and I’ll have someone deliver it to the cotton-padded jacket factory tomorrow.”
"You tell those women to take apart the clothes they brought and stuff cotton into their undershirts."
“They can come, but each of them has to be assigned a task. I don’t care about their age. Each person has to make five cotton-padded coats every day. If they can’t, they’ll be thrown out to starve and freeze.”
"Forget about little girls who are only a few years old. Find a place for them to practice their skills as 'Little Champions of Ganggang.' Divide the female workers into groups, assign one little girl to each group, and have each group make five extra cotton-padded jackets every day as childcare fees for the little girls."
Making five cotton-padded coats a day is actually not difficult; the patterns are readily available, and everyone can just cut them according to the instructions.
The foreman brought in a batch of professional sewing machines to the factory. Using the sewing machines to stitch the lines, a cotton-padded coat could be made very quickly.
Since these survivors wanted to send the women in their families to the cotton-padded jacket factory, Hua Mi accepted them all without hesitation.
As for the fabric, Chi Chuan can actually buy some from the market, as much as he can get. Hua Mi isn't worried about not having enough money to buy fabric; she's just worried about not having enough fabric to buy.
Just after hanging up with the contractor, Ye Rong called.
“Ami, City C is refusing to accept our wood and wants you to personally go and negotiate.”
Swimming in a small, heated pool in this weather is quite comfortable.
