Chapter 306 "Glimmering Lemonade"
The big leaf ants were also very considerate. Qiao Xi placed the food in front of them. They called their friends and ate up all the fried bean noodles in no time.
Just as they were wondering why they were filled with strength, as if they had eaten the big-leaf ant bean, Josh told them that this was the big-leaf ant bean, which shocked the big ants.
It’s incredible that such an unpalatable big leaf ant bean can be made to look so delicious. Wow, these big leaf ants are saved.
From that day on, Josh used bean flour fried from big-leaf ant beans and mixed it with some other foods to feed the big-leaf ants. They began to grow rapidly, becoming stronger day by day. After the queen ant had enough nutrition, she gave birth to an ant kingdom for the Weiguang Farm.
Qiao Xi saw it and was very happy, so he increased the amount of feeding for the big ants.
This has resulted in the big leaf ants on the farm changing from their initial thin and slender bodies to the current muscular ants. A few days ago, when Josh saw a giant lemon fruit floating on a tree, he thought he had seen a ghost. Who knew it was a big leaf ant carrying the fruit and running around.
Looking at the giant lemon as big as a watermelon, and then at the big leaf ant that lifted the heavy objects with ease, Qiao Xi silently gave it a thumbs up in his heart.
With them around, the golden macaques and Josh don't have to worry too much about the problems on the trees. They just need to explain them clearly and they can help Josh solve the problems themselves.
——
"How is it, have you determined the proportions of the ingredients?"
"We have determined the optimal ratio. After many experiments on the golden macaque, we found that it is rich in energy and delicious, and can effectively provide the energy needed by scavengers on long journeys. The customized packaging bags are also printed with the signature image design of the egg yolk pastry. The boxes, packaging bags, and gift boxes are all ready, and we can start production."
"Okay, egg yolk pastry production starts now!"
At Qiao Xi's command, all departments took their positions and began the first large-scale production of egg yolk pastries.
Connor's Big Tail Fish Farm not only produces high-quality sweet red beans, but also has many of the miscellaneous grains needed by the Weiguang Farm.
After Wen En said hello, Connor took the initiative to send a message to Josh the next day. After the two got in touch, Josh ordered a lot of sweet red beans from him to make red bean paste.
These red beans are not pure attribute crops, they just taste better, they are soft, sticky and sweet, and the price is very reasonable.
The cost of making the egg yolk pastry is much cheaper than that made with taro, and the taste is better.
Of course, no matter how the cost is reduced, the selling price of this egg yolk pastry can't be lower than one hundred federal points. Not to mention the duck eggs that cost forty-five each, even if you count the butter and lamb milk added to it, it is not a small number.
From the very beginning, Josh had no intention of making these egg yolk pastries affordable. They are not for ordinary people to eat.
Of course, Josh is not the kind of person who forgets her roots. She and Aunt Rose have researched the egg yolk crisps with mayonnaise filling. What's filled inside is not a whole salted duck egg yolk but a cheaper version of it (ahem). Once the top-quality egg yolk crisps become famous, Josh will start making the ordinary version.
But everything needs to be done slowly.
The refreshing bitter candies are wrapped in leaves similar to rice paper and sold in boxes. A box of ten pieces costs sixty-six federal points. The packaging box is a plastic box from Maria's house. It is not broken and looks good. It is customized and can hold just ten pieces.
As for the bitter candy drink, Josh had originally planned to mass-produce it like the flowers and honey water chestnuts, and then package it in bottles or customize small molds to sell the candied bitter candies. However, after some discussion among everyone on the farm, this plan was rejected.
First, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Although bitter sugar drinks are refreshing and relieve greasiness, they still need hot water to brew, so the market is limited. Second, the taste is not as impactful as the first two, but the price is not low. After all, it is made of honey candy, so the price cannot be reduced and the sales volume may not be high.
After some discussion, everyone decided to first promote Weiguang, a bitter candy drink, in commercial areas as a basic drink to entertain customers. Once it has a mass base and everyone has tasted the bitter candy drink, it may be more effective to sell it.
Therefore, we have not considered the packaging issue at the moment. After making a can, we will send it to the Weiguang Commercial District to let the merchants there promote it first.
After these things are done, the next thing to come is the large-scale launch of giant lemons.
Last year, Qiao Xi stepped up the management of the giant lemon orchard. Whether it was fertilizer or water, Qiao Xi ensured that the giant lemons had plenty to eat.
Today was indeed a good harvest.
After the big-leaf ants thinned out the flowers and fruits, the giant lemons are all huge. But the big fruit does not mean the skin is thick. When you cut it, you can say that the skin is thin and the filling is big. The sour fruit aroma immediately fills the farm hut.
How to deal with such a large amount? Josh thought of the lemonade he drank in his previous life.
Today, unlike last year, Josh is going to sell pure lemonade instead of honey lemonade.
Four o'clock for a cup, this time no matter it was people with special abilities, expedition soldiers, scavengers, pure laborers, or even children passing by, everyone could afford to drink it.
The reason why the price is so shocking is that the quantity of giant lemons is large, and the cost of honey lemonade is slightly high. Also, it is not cost-effective to keep so much honey to sell lemonade, so this decision was made.
However, looking at the crowds of customers buying lemonade at the entrance of the Weiguang Commercial District, Josh once again praised his decision.
"Chaoyang Morning Post": The Weiguang lemonade launched in the Weiguang Commercial District has a unique taste and an absolutely low price, which makes every guest who comes to Chaoyang City can't help but buy a cup to try, and then they will never forget it. This is the charm of lemonade, the charm that belongs only to Weiguang Farm.
The popularity of lemonade has made the already popular Weiguang Commercial District even more prosperous, and the remaining shops with poor locations and smaller spaces have basically all been rented out.
Of course, the conditions are still the same. The reason why those people who looked down on it before are now coming back with a lick of shame is that they have seen the difference of the Weiguang Commercial District, which cannot be compared with the free market.
Then he came to see Josh again.
Josh did not waste the evening time, as he installed a complete electrical power installation throughout the commercial area, so that the lights in the dim service area would not be turned off until 11pm.
Small vendors who have ideas but don't have many federal points to rent shops can rent a small stall of two to three meters in the evening and sell some small commodities. The rental price is very cheap, and Josh is not prepared to make much money from them.
The main point is to make it lively. With more merchants, the customer flow will naturally increase. (Inspiration comes from the comments in the comments section)
My babies, this book is almost at the end, but I can’t tell if there are any gaps that have not been filled. If you remember, can you leave me a comment? I’m afraid I will forget them by the time it’s finished. Thank you all for your company for so long, I love you!
