What are Takumi and Xiangling talking about?
Hu Tao feels like she is missing something.
Listening to the conversation between the two, she felt a little puzzled.
"What are you talking about?"
"What factory building?"
"Are you going to start a factory together?"
Hu Tao voiced the doubts in her heart.
Xiangling nodded immediately when she heard her words.
"Yes."
"We're going to open a factory together."
"But I'm just a technical consultant, and I only have a small share."
"The main shares are still Takumi's!"
There was nothing to hide, so Xiangling said it directly.
When Hu Tao heard Xiangling's words, she became even more puzzled.
"What for?"
She was curious.
Let Xiangling participate?
And as a technical consultant?
Is it something delicious?
"Making snacks!"
"I'll let you try some after dinner."
"It's delicious!"
Xiangling explained with a smile.
After saying this, she talked with Takumi about the snacks while eating.
She had tested many things.
As long as the snacks were properly preserved, storing them for one or two years was not a problem.
Of course, the premise was good preservation.
"There's no problem with the packaging. I asked Chiyo to design the mechanism."
"We'll use vacuum packaging, so it can be stored for a long time."
"According to what you said, with vacuum packaging, it should last even longer."
"So there's no issue."
"That means we just need to wait for the factory building to be completed."
"There's also the matter of recruiting people."
Everything was ready.
The next step was simply waiting for the factory construction to finish.
Then production could officially begin.
Of course, materials procurement still needed preparation.
Seasonings and similar items had to be prepared in advance.
Hu Tao listened to the conversation between Takumi and Xiangling.
Her curiosity was completely piqued.
What kind of snack could last that long?
After finishing the discussion, the two began eating seriously.
Once they had eaten their fill, Xiangling left first.
When she returned, she was holding a box.
She handed the box directly to Hu Tao.
"This is for you."
"These are the snacks we made."
"They're delicious!"
"You two keep chatting, I'm busy!"
"I won't keep you company."
After saying that, Xiangling left without looking back.
Hu Tao looked puzzled.
She opened the box on the spot.
Seeing the snacks neatly arranged inside, her eyes fell on the strips covered in Jueyun Chili.
"What is this?"
"It looks very spicy."
Hu Tao muttered to herself.
Hearing her words, Takumi smiled.
"These are spicy strips."
"Try them. The taste is really good."
Hu Tao looked at Takumi suspiciously.
Really?
Shouldn't it be extremely spicy?
Was Takumi tricking her?
But then she thought again.
She wasn't afraid of spice.
How spicy could it possibly be?
With that thought, Hu Tao directly put a strip into her mouth.
One bite later, it wasn't as spicy as she expected.
It turned out she had misunderstood Takumi.
The flavor was spicy and sweet.
It had a unique taste that surprised her.
"Oh!"
"Tasty."
The flavor immediately won her over.
She liked it very much.
After that, she picked up another and kept eating.
Even though she had just eaten a full meal, Hu Tao ate with great enthusiasm.
She even licked her fingers.
Seeing this, Takumi silently gave a thumbs up.
Naturally talented.
Spicy strips are soulless if you don't lick your fingers.
After finishing the spicy strips, Hu Tao tried the other snacks.
They all surprised her.
Every one of them was delicious.
"I like these."
"Is this factory you're opening just for these snacks?"
"Can I buy shares?"
"I want to join too."
Hu Tao immediately spotted the business opportunity.
If she liked them, others would surely like them too.
There was no doubt they would sell well.
Investing now would definitely bring profits in the future.
Why wouldn't she be interested?
She could even add another business line to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
From birth, hospital care, snacks while growing up, insurance, and finally funeral services.
Life planning from start to finish.
The more Hu Tao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Integrate Wangsheng Funeral Parlor into every stage of Liyue life.
At this moment, Hu Tao's eyes gleamed.
She fell into an unusually excited state.
Seeing her strange expression, Takumi slowly raised an eyebrow.
What was she thinking now?
Takumi quietly used his ability to take a look.
He nearly burst out laughing.
What kind of thinking was this?
Summarizing the entire life of Liyue people?
Do you want to be the ruler of the underworld?
Takumi found it genuinely amusing.
Hu Tao suddenly sensed something and immediately stared at Takumi.
"What did you do to me?"
Hu Tao wasn't very sensitive to such things, but she clearly felt someone had peeked at her thoughts.
And seeing Takumi's strange expression, she instantly understood.
It must have been him.
Takumi immediately protested.
"No, nothing."
"As for shares, forget it."
"I'm not accepting outside investors."
"If you want to do it, you can open your own."
Takumi shrugged and refused decisively.
Hu Tao wasn't too surprised by the refusal.
But she still felt uneasy about what Takumi had just done.
That feeling was too obvious.
"Forget it."
After thinking for a moment, Hu Tao stopped worrying about it.
She didn't know what Takumi did, but she knew he wouldn't harm her.
So there was no need to overthink it.
She continued eating the snacks happily.
As for opening her own factory, she gave up on the idea.
Since Takumi refused, she wouldn't force it.
She already had plenty on her plate.
Next, she would focus on investing in the layered rock abyss.
She had already gotten the information she wanted from Takumi.
That was enough.
