The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Rich Now
 

After several days of brewing and sunning, there was already a vat of soy sauce ready for consumption.

Good soy sauce, at the very least, requires a year of brewing, or even longer. Nian Shutong had prepared fifteen large vats to make this type of high-quality soy sauce.

Additionally, she had prepared another five large vats for making soy sauce that could be consumed after just a few days. Although the flavor would definitely not match the former, it was certainly better than having none.

In just a few days, the small wooden house had already changed its appearance.

Centered around the small wooden house, a long room stretched behind it, within which neatly arranged large vats, rectangular maltose seedlings, a gigantic stone mill, as well as blocks of fermented soybean were stored.

The kitchen area had been expanded once more, housing five large pots and several smaller ones.

Adjacent to the smoking room behind, another room was added to store original ingredients such as chestnuts and soybeans.

On the other side of the small wooden house, some distance away, was Rubble’s operation room, which was so clean it made one question life.

No one except Nian Shutong dared enter the small wooden house, because even a single misplaced screw would be noticed by Rubble.

Next, one would have to endure a lesson on the importance of “tidiness.”

Next to the operation room was a preservation room, which Nian Shutong had bought outright with the money earned from selling salt.

It stored ingredients like freshly made tofu in the morning and fresh maltose among others.

Beside the small wooden house stood a building that once belonged to the Wang Fu family, but now, adjoining this house, there were two additional houses.

One for Rubble and Ha Ha to live in, the other for brothers Wang Xiaolu and Wang Xiaochuan.

Looking in front of the small wooden house, there were six plots of vegetable garden that had already flowered and bore fruit.

Nian Shutong had bought fertilizer early on, estimating that in about ten more days, these vegetables could be harvested.

Even the rice paddies outside had grown tall, including the acre separately allocated for growing tomatoes intended for ketchup; the fruits were already starting to color up.

Next to the paddies, the wheat fields stood an orderly vibrant green. Looking further back, green onions, ginger, garlic had all been planted yesterday.

So far, Nian Shutong had not planned the next crop to be planted, because for the past couple of days, she had been experiencing the joy of spending money.

Moreover, the first crop of potatoes she planted would be ripe in a few days. Although it was only an acre, she felt happy about the impending harvest.

Early morning.

“Xiao He, contact the Li Zi Family and let them know we are ready to ship their order today.”

“Understood.” Fu Yunhe opened the Star Network and began to make contact.

The Li Zi Family had long politely replied to Fu Yunhe’s email. The final arrangement was for them to provide an address, Nian Shutong would ship via the Black Hole Transmitter, and neither party would sign a contract.

Nian Shutong never intended to keep the seed matter a secret indefinitely; she was simply playing for time, a span that allowed her to strengthen her position. Therefore, keeping it hidden for a while was still beneficial.

Li Zi Family did feel the deal was insecure, but in the end, the opportunity outweighed the risk, and they made the decision.

Buy.

“He replied saying he knows and has made preparations to receive the goods,” Fu Yunhe reported as he read the swiftly returned email, immediately informing Nian Shutong.

“Alright, I’m stepping out for a bit. I’ll ship their order when I get back.” Nian Shutong said and left, taking off in an egg-shaped flying device.

When she returned, the mature seedlings had been bundled neatly, totaling five hundred mature trees. To pack these, Nian Shutong had also purchased a Space Button.

The Space Button was placed into a wooden box, the address written on it, waiting for Fu Yunhe to count the maltose syrup before sending it out using the Black Hole Transmitter.

On the other side, the Li Zi Family had truly made their preparations.

Holes dug into the mountainside, pots, sand, trademark registration, packaging designs—all were ready, just waiting for the seeds and syrup.

The anxious wait was over; they could finally begin.

Li Zi Family didn’t even use a preorder payment, opting for full payment instead. Chestnut trees were 5000 Star Coins each, amounting to 2.5 million for five hundred, plus 800,000 spent on maltose, totaling 3.3 million, and the payment was successful.

Nian Shutong looked at her account notification—money had come in once more.

Not bad, not bad at all!

She found that matters which could be resolved with money truly saved effort.

Previously, using the money made from selling salt, she had bought Chestnut Trees at 2000 Star Coins each from the system. She then sold them for 5000 Star Coins apiece—a guaranteed profitable deal.

And now, with a harvest of crops about to mature, she was about to become even richer.

As Nian Shutong was about to close her account and exit, she noticed an incoming email, accompanied by a deposit of one million Star Coins.

Thinking of something, Nian Shutong wondered, had she won?
