Just as Zhou Yi anticipated, with the chairman himself showcasing the products, a crowd swiftly gathered around the company booth.

He seized the moment: "Yuan Xiao, bring the goods!"

"Yes!"

Angel of Death handed over a transparent plastic bag with a red samurai crab logo printed on it.

Zhou Yi held the bag with both hands, smiling at the crowd: "Friends, this is the latest Jade Soup instant noodles developed by our Wasteland Development Company."

"Instant noodles are a convenient food from the old human era, made of fried dried noodles that can be eaten after soaking in hot water."

Zhou Yi tore open the bag, took a plastic bowl handed by Yuan Xiao, put in the noodle block, added the seasoning pack, poured in the pre-prepared hot water, and covered it with a plastic lid.

He said to everyone: "From my personal experience, soaking the noodles for 3 minutes is just right. But those with the means can use a Flame Cup to boil the water for cooking, which makes the flavor richer."

"For busy friends like me, for instance, when we're flying on an airship for several hours, or when we're in a car or going on an expedition, a pack of instant noodles can quickly solve hunger problems."

"This food is clean and hygienic, using sterile packaging, and is convenient to carry, produced by our company's food factory..."

The further improvement of Jade Soup has promoted the birth of instant noodles. Mushrooms, beans, and bone broth alone can no longer meet people's increasingly high demands for food.

Therefore, instant noodles came into being.

This is also an upgrade by the Ministry of Agriculture to existing foods.

Minister Zheng Tao, imitating the Ministry of Manufacturing's establishment of a clothing factory, also applied to Zhou Yi to create a food factory. He invited relevant professionals in mechanical life from Recursive City to start exploring the manufacture of industrialized food.

"The time is about right."

Zhou Yi uncovered the plastic lid, stirred the noodles with the supplied plastic fork, took a couple of big slurps, and then gave a thumbs up.

"This is the traditional Jade Soup flavor. In addition, there are two other flavors: sweet and sour and fish soup. You can add various seasoning and meat, and vegetables to them."

"Now, a pack of instant noodles costs only 35 mushrooms. Yes, just 35 mushrooms to enjoy noodles made from wheat flour, accompanied by the Jade Soup broth!"

"For the average inhabitants of a small town, the daily food expense is around 70 mushrooms. Buying two packs of instant noodles can ensure you won't be hungry for a day. The calories can reach 1800 kcal, enough for an adult."

"Additionally, if you purchase 10 packs of instant noodles, we also provide the noodle bowl I am using now, which comes with a lid and fork. It's convenient, and can be cleaned and reused."

"It's currently autumn. If you store instant noodles for the coming winter, you won't have to worry about food supplies. They can be stored for at least 6 months."

"Everyone is welcome to taste. Yuan Xiao, Qian Su, prepare the noodles."

"Yes."

The two employees immediately took out the small boxes that had been prepared and made bowls of noodles for everyone to taste.

On the spot, a human merchant who tasted the noodles said: "The quality of Wasteland Development Company's products is unquestionable. I'd like to start with 10,000 packs of instant noodles, 5,000 of sweet and sour, and 5,000 of fish soup."

"Okay, thank you for your support." Qian Su immediately began writing the order form for the customer.

Another Guangna Leader holding a bag of dried noodles exclaimed: "Mr. Zhou, with such a reputation, stooping to sell these little things. It's no surprise that Wasteland Development Company has risen to become the behemoth it is today in just a few years, success is never an accident."

"I'll order 100,000 packs!"

"I'll take 30,000 packs too."

...

Zhou Yi was initially a bit nervous, having never personally sold products before. Although he was cosplaying past live-streaming sales hosts, he was unsure if it would work.

It seemed to be going well.

So Zhou Yi continued: "Next, is this canned food."

He picked up a tin can from the stock box: "This is also a new product from our company's food factory, available in two types: luncheon meat and fruit cans."

"The main ingredients of the luncheon meat can are beef and fish. The beef is selected from high-quality dairy sources in the Songbei Region, and the fish are large grass carps raised in the Tree Monster Territory. The taste is guaranteed. Our company's employees very much enjoy eating these. When our employees travel, these cans are included in their meals."

"Fruit cans include orange and pear cans. They are very sweet and are the most delicious when fruits are scarce in winter."

Zhou Yi opened the two cans and served the food inside on prepared dishes.

He sliced the luncheon meat with a small knife and signaled everyone to feel free to taste.

In fact, this luncheon meat's texture was not as good as what Zhou Yi had eaten in the past, lacking firmness. However, it had more meat and abundant ingredients, thanks to Zheng Tao's Food Tongue adjusting the flavor repeatedly. In this era where the food industry was not advanced, there were no competitors on the market.

Customers seemed quite satisfied after tasting it.

"Mr. Zhou, what's the price?"

"Given the meat content, the cost shouldn't be low, right?"

Zhou Yi said: "Since the main ingredient is meat, and we don't produce much meat, it will be a bit more expensive than instant noodles. Meat cans are 180 mushrooms each, with a content weight of 200 grams, and fruit cans are 100 mushrooms each, with a content weight of 240 grams."

"Our packaging is in iron cans, each weighing 20 grams, worth 40 mushrooms. If you return the cans intact, we will refund 40 mushrooms. So, the actual price is 140 mushrooms for meat cans and 60 mushrooms for fruit cans."

Upon hearing the price, the crowd was astounded.

"I want 10,000 meat cans and 5,000 fruit cans."

"I want 24,000 meat cans."

"Give me 2,000 fruit cans."

"Give me 3,000 meat cans!"

...

Zhou Yi understood.

The enthusiasm for canned food far exceeded that for instant noodles, mainly because fruits and meat were still relatively expensive foods in various places.

Fruits have a short shelf life and high spoilage rates, increasing costs during transportation.

Meat production is less than that of fruits. Although there are refrigeration boxes for preservation, the low production still keeps frozen meat prices high.

Currently, the price of frozen beef is generally 500 mushrooms per 100 grams, more expensive than the same weight of iron.

For the same weight, canned luncheon meat costs only 35% of frozen meat and is ready to eat.

Lords everywhere have to maintain armies. Although the elite troops are Guangna Species, enhancers, and mechanical warriors, the majority are humans. This includes logistics, patrol soldiers, sheriffs, etc., who account for over 90% of the numbers.

If they are too weak, they cannot maintain basic order or conduct daily training.

Meat is an important logistical resource for feeding soldiers.

Merchants, sensitive to price differences and the market, began buying in bulk.

The low prices were possible mainly due to the company's existing infrastructure and complete support.

The airships were owned by the company, making transportation costs low.

Fruits and fish came from the Tree Monster Territory, and only beef had to be imported. Employees already loved eating meat, and every day, Sand Port imported large quantities of meat. The iron cans were manufactured and supplied by factories in Steel Refining City.

"Next are bottled beverages."

Zhou Yi picked up a plastic bottle to show everyone.

The plastic wrapper on the bottle also had the company's samurai crab logo. Next to it was a green-haired girl's head, representing the [Love] brand of Steel Refining City.

"This is a joint beverage from our food factory and Steel Refining City. It comes in three flavors: fruit wine, tea, and energy drink, all with a capacity of 550 ml."

"We also recycle the plastic bottles."

"Instant noodles, canned food, and beverages can all be taken to Mars, perfectly fitting our Mars immigration project."

"Everyone is welcome to taste and try them."

Fruit wine made use of sour fruits and blemished fruits from the Tree Monster Territory, allowing common people to drink alcoholic products. The price was 30 mushrooms per bottle.

The tea was brewed from imported tea leaves, costing 35 mushrooms per bottle, the same price as instant noodles.

The energy drink contained a small amount of Wise Mushroom, helping to boost energy and focus, priced at 200 mushrooms per bottle due to its medicinal properties, making it the most expensive.

Recycled plastic products from Plastic Island were very cheap, ensuring the materials were harmless and healthy. Recycling strategies also reduced unnecessary expenses by sanitizing, cleaning, and repairing existing containers for reuse.

Fruit wine and energy drinks immediately gained a lot of attention.

Wine catered to the needs of ordinary people, while the energy drink was useful for enhancers and Guangna Species alike.

Only bottled tea received little interest.

"1,000 bottles of energy drink!"

"3,500 bottles of energy drink for me!"

"I'll take 10,000 bottles of energy drink!"

"3,000 bottles of fruit wine!"

...

Seeing everyone eager to buy, Zhou Yi became even more excited.

He stood on the stage, gesturing to his shoes.

"Everyone, look at the shoes I'm wearing. These are labor protection shoes made by the Jade City Clothing Factory. As the name suggests, they are work shoes protecting every worker."

"For workers digging Light Soot, Light Amber, and various minerals in mines and factories, having these shoes can effectively reduce the risk of foot injuries. They provide protection against crushing, punctures, and slips, are antistatic, insulated, and resistant to high temperatures. They were designed and made by our senior designers, Xiaotao and Fang Hui."

Zhou Yi gestured with his hands, looking at the growing number of customers: "In our company, you all know there are many electric facilities. With these shoes, we can effectively reduce static electricity and prevent electric currents."

"According to our tests, these labor protection shoes can protect us when in close proximity to an electric cat."

"Now, they are priced at only 199 mushrooms each."

"At the cost of only two short-sleeved shirts, you can get a durable pair of shoes that every worker, farmer, and scavenger can afford. This is the original intention of our Wasteland Development Company: to make things accessible and affordable for everyone."

Labor protection shoes, being work tools directly matching the Electric Cat System, immediately triggered a purchase wave.

The main reason was their affordability.

"Finally."

Zhou Yi paused his voice, looking around.

Now the company booth was crowded, becoming the absolute center and focus of the entire exhibition.

"Allow me to introduce the company's final new product."

Zhou Yi received an iron box from Qian Su, opened it, and took out a square iron can resembling a canned product.

"Please stand back a little. I'm going to do a small experiment."

The crowd stepped back.

Zhou Yi placed the box on the ground and took out a plastic remote control.

Pressed the button.

Boom!

The box instantly exploded.

Black smoke and flames radiated within a ten-meter diameter, causing a minor shockwave.

"This is our new product, the controllable explosive mushroom."

Zhou Yi smoothed his slightly blown hair, looking around at everyone: "Its explosive power reaches B-level, and it can be remotely detonated using an electric cat. It can be laid within the coverage area of a conductor net. Whether for blasting open mountains, dismantling structures, blocking enemies, or building defenses, it has significant practical value."

"Of course, if there's no electric cat, removing the safety lock on the shell also allows it to be used as a landmine, exploding when stepped on or touched."

The onlookers stared intently at the explosion site.

They were familiar with explosive mushrooms.

But a remotely triggered B-level explosion... unheard of.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Its price is 5 Light Seeds per C-level, and 50 Light Seeds per B-level. Currently, there are 300 units each for external limited sale, on a first-come-first-served basis."

After a brief silence, the crowd went wild.

"I'll take all the B-level!"

"I want them! I'll buy them all!"

"Reserve 1,000 B-levels for me!!!"

"I'll pay double! I want 6,000 units!!!"

The scene heated up, becoming lively and boisterous.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with this.

Exactly.

This is what a big sales promotion should feel like.
