Chapter 676: Chapter 677 Tea Follow-up
Nian Shutong had dispatched tea leaves and then began studying the beverage factory business.
Currently, she had over twenty types of fruits, all of which had reached certain cultivation areas, but only the earliest planted ones like grapes, peaches, and cherries had matured on a large scale.
That is to say, the variety was still somewhat limited.
“Master, we can make sparkling water, just add some flavors, and it’s simple; it doesn’t require a lot of fruits.”
“Sparkling water?”
Nian Shutong first looked at the information Daodao had found. Could this water be tasty?
“Daodao, can water that bubbles in the mouth be tasty?”
“Daodao doesn’t know, but their sales are the best, one of them, a beverage called ‘Cola,’ they call it a carbonated drink, always tops the sales.”
I see…
Nian Shutong looked at the pile of carbonated beverage recipes and the production of sparkling water that Daodao had found for her. Actually, it wasn’t tough; you just had to build a machine that would pressurize the water to achieve a bubbly state.
And she only needed to mix in flavors to different sparkling waters or carbonated drinks.
Nian Shutong wasn’t in a hurry to find Rubble, instead looking at other drinks.
She continued to review the Earth Heart information and also discovered tea beverages, although the tea leaves she currently had were limited to one type and not ready to be harvested yet.
The tea leaves she had mailed out were purchased from System Xiao Ba in small quantities.
However, once her tea leaves could be harvested, she could consider launching a tea beverage.
“Xiao Ba! Xiao Ba!”
Nian Shutong started calling for System Xiao Ba.
“Host, I am here.”
“Xiao Ba, when can I get the next reward? I would like to have a few more varieties of tea leaves, is that possible?”
“Good host, there are a hundred billion distances until the next reward. Please keep up the effort.”
“Good host, I do not have the authority to interfere with the content of the rewards.”
Following the official mechanical voice, Xiao Ba, twisting his little seed waist, said to her, “Host, Xiao Ba will do his best!”
Nian Shutong couldn’t help but laugh. Do his best for what? To get some backdoor benefits for her?
“Okay, thank you, Xiao Ba.”
After finishing, Nian Shutong continued to look at the data for a while and then sketched down the machinery design for making sparkling water and carbonated drinks, sending it over to Rubble.
Rubble, very accustomed to receiving the drawings, still frowned as he looked at them, making corrections, and then his brow relaxed.
Nian Shutong was already completely accustomed to this set of expressions.
After Rubble had arranged everything, Nian Shutong then went to the factory side to start preparing the beverage factory.
This moment was the time to leverage the charm of money.
She purchased many items on the Star Network, installing whatever could be installed and buying whatever could be bought, not wanting to lift a finger herself.
While Nian Shutong was busy with the beverage factory, her mailed tea leaves were gradually arriving at their destinations.
First district, Yu Family.
Mr. Yu returned home from the Poetry Club and saw a delivery box indicating there was a package.
“Buying nonsense again!”
Despite his verbal disdain, he didn’t hesitate for a second to take the express package out.
But when Mr. Yu took it out, he pursed his lips, his eyes disdainfully examining the not so large box in his hand.
“What a tiny thing, what did he buy!”
Mr. Yu carried the package into the house, his hands behind his back.
Mr. Yu entered the house and leisurely washed his hands and had a glass of water. When he finally sat down, he looked at the little box on the coffee table and still picked it up with slight disdain.
“Let’s see what these rascals have bought.”
Mr. Yu hardly bought anything from Star Network himself; any package in the house was always ordered by the two brothers, and he was used to it.
Although Mr. Yu was rather disdainful, when he tore open the packaging, he was very careful, strictly following the unpacking process without damaging anything.
“It’s still a metal box.”
Mr. Yu opened the small metal box, which wasn’t even as big as a fist, and inside was a plastic bag that resembled foil.
By this stage, Mr. Yu could already smell something.
“This…”
Holding a small unopened packet of tea leaves, Mr. Yu sniffed and discerned carefully.
Just as the scent was about to overlap with a memory, the door to the house burst open.
“Dad — Boss sent me some tea leaves!”
Yu Zeming strutted in from outside, flaunting the packet of tea leaves in his hand.
Mr. Yu displayed the speed expected of an SS-level cultivator; the tea leaves in his hand vanished in the blink of an eye, safely stored away with a spatial button.
Even the packaging on the coffee table was naturally tidied up by him as he scolded,
“You’re a grown man, can’t you calm down? Can’t you talk without shouting?”
Chastised, Yu Zeming didn’t care at all. He sat down next to Mr. Yu, grinning and asked while watching Mr. Yu’s movements, “What’s that?”
Mr. Yu threw the delivery box to a household robot nearby and said, “Your brother’s parcel.”
“Oh!” Yu Zeming hummed indifferently and, trying to impress Mr. Yu, asked, “Guess what this is?”
“I’m not deaf! It’s the tea you’re honoring me with.”
With a reach of his hand, Mr. Yu had the tea in his grasp.
“Hey, hey, Dad, leave some for me!” Yu Zeming reached out to grab it, but naturally, he failed.
After a brief scuffle between father and son, it ended with Yu Zeming getting a cup of tea.
Having had his cup of tea, Yu Zeming casually left the Yu family’s old house; after all, he was just there to deliver tea.
At the doorway, Yu Zeming bumped into Yu Zeling getting off a flying device. But just as he called out “big brother,” he noticed the familiar packaging in Yu Zeling’s hands.
“Big brother, what’s that?”
“I don’t know.” Yu Zeling hadn’t unpacked it; there were no labels on the box, and he had just casually signed for the delivery before taking it home.
Seeing the box in Yu Zeling’s hand, Yu Zeming figured something out: Boss Shutong had sent parcels to all three of them, all in the same packaging.
But thinking of his own tea leaves, Yu Zeming chose not to remind Yu Zeling and just hummed softly before walking away.
As soon as his big brother walked in, his dad would surely not ignore that parcel.
It’s only fun when everyone gets tricked together!
Yu Zeling felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what. Carrying the box, he walked in as usual.
Sure enough, Mr. Yu immediately noticed the box in his hands.
“Eldest, come here, I’ve got a new poem, take a look.”
Mr. Yu’s words prompted Yu Zeling to step forward a few paces to inquire, naturally setting down the box as he did so.
But after reading the poem, a question mark formed in his head as he wanted to ask Mr. Yu if this was truly a new poem, it wasn’t very good.
However, when he looked up, there was no one in the room.
“Hmm? What’s this smell?”
