The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 224 - 222 produced snow-white cotton.
Chapter 224: 222 produced snow-white cotton.
The weather was too cold; Mrs. Qin and Ma Zhixuan couldn’t endure it and didn’t wait long before quickly leaving the RV supermarket.
At this time, Hua Mi was at Lotus Shengxing Supermarket, beginning to plant trees.
Having promised Qin Zhen, Hua Mi would act on it. Last time she planted rubber trees, camphor trees, and tulip poplars, these three types of trees had never been cut down.
As a result, they had now grown into three colossal trees.
Hua Mi walked around these three behemoths, estimating that each tree weighed over ten thousand jin.
Put together, the three trees weighed far more than thirty thousand jin.
Hua Mi cut down these three trees.
If she allowed these trees to continue growing, there was no telling how large they would become.
Hua Mi planned to send these three trees to the RV supermarket for Ah Fu to bring in some wood planers and for Ye Rong to hire some laborers to turn these trees into firewood of uniform lengths.
First, she would make some firewood suitable for a smoke-extracting, concealed heating device, to warm up Ye Rong and the others.
Of the remaining wood, Qin Zhen would take away ten thousand jin.
With what was left, Hua Mi planned to supply the Garrison and the police first.
Then she placed the newly acquired 27 square meters of Black Land close by Lotus Shengxing Supermarket.
Only after that did Hua Mi start to plant trees.
Previously, she had asked Chi Chuan to purchase seeds for her—whatever the type, Hua Mi wanted them all.
As a result, Chi Chuan had found her many seedlings and seeds for plants.
Bougainvillea, Ocean Goldfinch, Milan, Murraya Exotica, dragon boat flowers, hydrangeas, wooden lotuses, cypress trees, locust trees, beech trees, oak trees, ginkgoes.
Cotton, mulberries, ilexes, platanuses, ligustrum, bigleaf boxwoods, larches, blackthorns, Masson pines, pines, Yunnan pines, South Asia pines, Chandelier Flowers, coffee.
Without even looking, Hua Mi planted all 27 types of seedlings and seeds.
After a while, she realized something and looked closely at the coffee plants in front of her. This one... this one can’t be cut down; it can be used to harvest coffee beans in the future and make coffee.
And those flowers—Hua Mi felt a bit melancholic. Those flowers shouldn’t be cut down for firewood either.
But now that they were planted, could she just uproot them?
Checking each in turn, Hua Mi discovered that on one patch of Black Land, amidst the heavy snow, white cotton blossoms had bloomed.
In just this short time, the white cotton blossoms emerged one after another against the white snow.
Beautiful.
Alongside them, blooming simultaneously, were bougainvilleas, Ocean Goldfinches, hydrangeas that would grow in different seasons... The trees were gradually growing taller and thicker.
And the delicate flowers were already flourishing robustly.
She, Hua Mi, immediately made a phone call to the Factory Director, wanting to ask what could be done with a large bunch of flowers.
The Factory Director was finishing up the final tasks at the water plant, very busy at the other end of the phone, and casually replied,
"Build an essential oil factory and turn all those flowers into essential oils. Essential oils have a lot of uses with various effects. You girls like them too, smelling all fragrant."
The Factory Director was an insightful person.
Hua Mi immediately called the very busy Contractor, expressing her desire to build an essential oil factory, the kind that would use flowers to extract essential oils.
The Contractor exclaimed "Ah," looking ahead at a vast crowd of reformed courtesans.
Some of these women had been captured by Yang Honglin and other police officers, while others had been caught by workers clearing the Xiang A Highway.
And there were those who came on their own.
"Miss Hua, there are simply too many women in the cotton-padded jacket factory, this essential oil factory, we must start production immediately, I have a headache every day."
It was the kind of real headache that came with the cold weather and busy contractors, causing sharp pains in the head, and he urgently needed some relaxing essential oils to rub on.
The start of the essential oil factory was a matter of urgency, or else all the women would crowd into the cotton-padded jacket factory. With too many hands here, scraps of cloth and wool were fast running out.
Hua Mi asked casually,
"Where did all these women come from?"
The contractor answered in distress,
"I don’t know where they got the news from, but our cotton-padded jacket factory, although it doesn’t pay a wage, it does provide padded jackets and provisions, so everyone wants to turn themselves in here."
In theory, this cotton-padded jacket factory was similar to a reeducation center, housing the captured women who underwent indoctrination while making padded jackets.
Before they were let out, they had to keep making jackets.
Gradually, even before the factory was fully built, it became popular in Xiang City, A City, and B City.
Everyone knew that bringing in a woman of the night could earn you a bonus of 2000 yuan.
Thus, Xiang City, A City, and B City covertly started a craze to capture these women.
In some homes, for that 2000 yuan, even innocent daughters were given a bad reputation and sent inside.
Why wouldn’t they send them? Once inside, there was food to eat, thick cotton jackets to wear, and the cotton-padded jacket factory was even installing smokeless wood stoves.
Wasn’t this better than starving and freezing at home?
So, in those few days, Yang Honglin was extremely busy.
In all his years as a police officer, he had never encountered such a massive surrender of these so-called women.
The family awareness of the survivors shot up dramatically, often their own relatives would send family members ranging from 80-year-old mothers to young girls to the cotton-padded jacket factory voluntarily.
Such chaotic disruptions resulted in an immediate shortage of fabric and wool.
The contractor felt aggrieved,
"The movable panel houses that the factory needs, I’ve expanded them over and over because of this, the cotton-padded jacket factory has been delayed in completing, at this rate, our factory is going to collapse."
"It won’t collapse." Hua Mi laughed. "I just happen to have a batch of cotton, and tomorrow someone will deliver it to the cotton-padded jacket factory."
"Let those women tear up the clothes they brought and stuff the cotton into their thin garments."
"They can come, but each one must have a set task. I don’t care about their age; each person must produce five padded jackets a day. If they can’t make it, they’ll be thrown out to starve and freeze."
"Just leave the little girls, find a place for them to practice Ganggang Little Scholar, assign them to the female workers in groups, one group per girl, each group to produce an additional five jackets a day, as childcare fees for the little girls."
Five jackets a day was actually not difficult to make; the panels were all ready-made, and everyone could simply follow the template to cut them out.
The contractor brought in a batch of professional sewing machines to the factory, and with the sewing machines, a padded jacket could be quickly assembled.
These survivors, since they were sending their female family members to the cotton-padded jacket factory, Hua Mi unapologetically took them all in.
And regarding the fabrics, Chi Chuan could actually collect some from the market, as much as comes; Hua Mi wasn’t worried about not having the money to collect fabric, she was worried about having no fabric to collect.
She had just hung up the phone with the contractor when Ye Rong called,
"Ah Mi, the city of C refuses to accept our timber and wants you to personally go and talk."
