Chapter 164: The canned food raid
The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families had been creating an information blockade on Miracle Commerce the whole time. It was impossible for them to reveal large news like Chu Tian killing elders from the three families, Chu Tian capturing Ye Tianlang, or Chu Tian forcing Ye Wudao back. Everything related to Miracle Commerce was hard to publish in the major newspapers.
This caused all the middle and lower tier cultivators of Central State City to not have a clear understanding of Miracle Commerce. It could even be described as a vague understanding.
This was not a bad thing, but rather it helped increase people's curiosity. So when Miracle Commerce came to Central State City, as long as they did anything, they could easily grab the citizens' attention and shock them.
Meng Yingying had been shouting with the loudspeaker for over half an hour and her head was already covered in sweat.
What made Meng Yingying the most proud was that all the canned food had been sold!
The canned food was an idea created by Meng Yingying alone!
When Nangong Yun left South Sky City, the South Sky City restaurant was managed by Meng Yingying alone. The three restaurants opened in South Sky City were very popular, one had to reserve seats everyday and sometimes one would need to book several days in advance. It was very hard just to get a single seat!
There were quite a few mercenaries and rogue cultivators that were thinking about how great it would be if they could eat Miracle Commerce's food no matter when and where. Miracle Commerce's source energy pots were not for sale, so this was doomed to be a fantasy.
They never would have imagined that this would be an inspiration for Meng Yingying!
They were right!
They could not guarantee that Miracle Commerce's technology would not be leaked, so they had to carefully recruit their personnel. Because of this, they could not open another store quickly and many people would not be able to eat the source energy cooked food. Wasn't this a large market that was going to waste?
Meng Yingying suddenly came up with an idea. If they could take source energy cooked food and packaged them to sell, wouldn't this be a very large market?
When her elder sister learned of Yingying's thoughts, she immediately agreed and gave her full support.
Meng Yingying was full of confidence and immediately summoned several experienced chefs. Working day and night, they finally invented the canned food!
In fact, from a technological perspective, canned food was not really anything complicated. But when it came to great inventions, one usually just lacked the proper inspiration and the ingenuity of creativity.
The advent of canned food would have a very large impact.
It would even be a milestone in the expansion of Miracle Commerce Dining!
The various large families, soldiers, mercenaries, cultivators, and even normal people would all come back and buy more of this new delicacy. Not only did it solve the problem of surviving in the wild, it would also help supplement one's diet and make one's body stronger.
How many millions of people would benefit from this invention?
Meng Yingying had personally supervised the production of the meat canned foods, but she did not distribute them in South Sky City. Without knowing how the city would react, she had brought all the cans of food to Central State City to sell.
The most surprising thing was.
The canned food business received a wild welcome and support on the first day. This extraordinary scene seemed to have confirmed that Meng Yingying's hard work wasn't wasted!
People no longer needed to worry about eating dry rations on long journeys. They also no longer needed to worry about malnutrition and their bodies becoming weaker every day.
With a can of meat and some wine, no matter where they were, they could enjoy the delicacies of Miracle Commerce. This was truly a great invention that benefited the nation and the citizens!
Meng Yingying's voice was a little hoarse from shouting, but she did not feel tired at all. She gripped the loudspeaker in her hand as she said, "Thank you for everyone's support! The canned meat for today has all been sold, so friends who haven't bought anything today, please come back and line up tomorrow. Quantities are limited so it will be first come first serve!"
"What!"
"It's sold out so quickly?"
"I've been lining up for over an hour now!"
Faced with everyone's complaints, Meng Yingying took the loudspeaker and said, "Miracle Commerce has come from far away, so we did not bring many cans with us, but please feel assured everyone. Miracle Commerce will be setting up a canned food processing factory in Central State City soon!"
"Other than that, Miracle Commerce will also need a large amount of demon beast meat, so mercenary friends no longer need to waste demon beast meat. As long as you sent it to the collection area, we will take it no matter how much there is! Miracle Commerce will also be opening a breeding farm outside the city. If anyone catches a suitable demon beast youth, we will buy it for a favourable price! We will not let anyone suffer a loss!"
The mercenaries and merchants revealed looks of pleasant surprise!
This was a large business opportunity!
Miracle Commerce wanted to open a source energy restaurant in Central State City and wanted to make a large amount of canned foods, so they would need demon beast meat. It was not hard to see that the worthless demon beast meat would be increasing in value!
In this world, there were more beasts than men.
The land occupied by intelligent living beings could not even count for a one ten thousandth of the continent's area. An overwhelming amount of unoccupied space was filled with demon beasts, and therefore, it could be said that there was a huge number of demon beasts, it could even be described as a flood.
With a bustling city like Central State City, they frequently faced beast threats, even seriously affecting the security of urban areas. Because of this, many mercenaries and rogue cultivators would go and hunt demon beasts. However, the most common thing and the most worthless thing on the demon beast's body was its meat.
With the appearance of Miracle Commerce, this had all changed.
The price of the beast meat would rise. As the source energy restaurant became more popular, the demand for demon beast meat would exponentially increase. For the people that killed demon beasts for a living, this would be a large source of income for them!
How could people reject this kind of good thing?
After the canned food had been sold out, it was time to start the prize drawing.
"Congratulations, you have pulled out the third place prize. You will receive a level one Miracle Commerce refined talisman!"
"Congratulations, you have pulled out the third place prize. You will receive a bottle of Miracle Commerce refined medicine!"
"......."
Every can of food bought came with a prize draw chance which had a high chance of winning. The worst prize they could get was either a dagger or short sword made of fine iron, but for most of the people here, they would pull out a high quality item like a talisman or some medicine.
Miracle Commerce had prepared over ten thousand items to be given away!
Such a rich manner made everyone excited!
This activity had been planned by Meng Qingwu. On one hand, it would let the people of the city see how deep Miracle Commerce's finance and strength was. On the other hand, it would allow Miracle Commerce's products to quickly spread through the city.
The soonest the restaurant could open would still take eight-ten days!
Through the use of free food, selling the canned food, and giving away all kinds of prizes, Miracle Commerce would attract the attention of the entire city.
"Congratulations! You have won the first place prize! You have won a Qi Refining Pill produced by Miracle Commerce!"
The crowd burst into cheers.
They were not clear on the other Miracle Commerce products, but this Qi Refining Pill was very famous. The price on the underground market was very high and selling one would make one rich!
"Congratulations! You have won a special prize! You will obtain a limited first generation Miracle Commerce phonograph! Moreover you will also receive a basic level disc that you can play ten times!"
Everyone cheered even louder!
Phonograph?
Isn't this something from Qilin Hall!
It even included a basic level disc, how great was that? Even if it was a basic level course, it was treasure that had a hard to measure value!
Everyone was full of excitement.
Delicious free food, selling a large amount of canned food, and giving out a bunch of prizes, once the source energy restaurant opened, perhaps its reputation might have exploded already. It would be hard for it to do badly!
"Young miss! I'm back!"
"What took you so long? The canned food has already sold out!"
"I can't help it, there were too many people. You can't skip the line and it was sold out before it reached me." Xiang Hu let out a sigh with a depressed look on his face. Miracle Commerce's business was just too good, "No need to worry, young miss. I have spent ten times the value and bought two cans from a mercenary."
Feng Caidie's eyes lit up, "Let me see it!"
There was a Miracle Commerce packaging around it and the cylindrical container was closed with a copper lid. There was nothing strange about the material used at all. There were no pattern or designs on it and there was just the brand and the producer written. As well as the large words "Canned Braised Pig Feet".
Feng Caidie carefully observed the little words written underneath, which stated the canned species, the method of use, the ingredients used to create this item, and the benefits the source energy cooked food would have. It was clearly written and very straightforward.
Although the packaging seemed crude, it was actually very creative!
From the reactions around her, everyone seemed like they loved it!
Feng Caidie was very curious as she opened it. There were three pig's feet inside, completely soaked in a kind of solidified jelly soup. According to the descriptions written on the side, there were six different herbs and nine different spices that were mixed with these pig's feet. It already had anti spoiling properties, it was enough for it to be preserved around a year.
The food was already cooked and one could eat after opening it.
To make it taste better, one could also heat it up.
Feng Caidie held the can in her hands and injected a bit of spirit energy into it. Several runes appeared on the can and the half solidified jelly soup began to melt. It slowly began to emit heat just like food freshly cooked in a pot.
"Aiya!"
"This really is creative!"
Feng Caidie sniffed it. The smell was very rich and attractive, it was stimulated her appetite!
Feng Caidie ignored the appearance and fished out one pig's foot to place in her mouth.
Her eyes immediately popped out!
Feng Caidie was someone who had seen the world and eaten all kinds of delicious food, but she could not believe this was demon beast meat! Demon beast meat was very hard to cook, not to mention a very tough place like this pig's foot. However, this pig's foot from the can had been boiled to the point that it was completely tender.
The meat was very tender and the taste was great.
It was perfect seasoned with herbs and spices, making the taste even more beautiful!
Feng Caidie could not stop after a single bite and she ate the remaining pork's feet. Her mouth was covered in grease, not caring about her image at all!
How was this fast food?
This was an absolutely delicious meal!
Just this canned food would be enough to make Miracle Commerce famous!
"This taste is great!" Feng Caidie found that after tasting one, she could not stop herself, "Is there anymore?"
Xiang Hu spoke with an awkward look on his face, "I'm sorry young miss, I've eaten the rest!"
Feng Caidie had a complaining gaze as she looked at him, "It's fine, we know Chu Tian anyway, so we'll get some more cans of food from him. This thing is too delicious and it can also strengthen our bodies and cultivation bases. Not only would it be the best meal for cultivators, it can become the best snack for us!"
Snack?
This was not cheap for normal people!
Even the most common level one canned beast mean cost ten gold coins per can. Adding the heating ruins on the can would make it cost at least twenty gold coins!
Of course, to the children of rich families, this was not a problem at all!
Feng Caidie wiped her mouth and revealed her status to enter the restaurant.
