Chapter 68

It's dad again.

Although Hua Xian can feel that the chairman likes her very much, the appreciation that the elders have for the younger generation, but... let's ask.

"Sir, may I ask you a question?"

"sure."

"Why, claiming to be a father? Whose father?"

"Ah, what about it——" the speaker's father, Butterfly, smiled, not panicking at all, "I am Xiaoming's father, his mother left early, and I am his only son, and I have been both a father and a mother these years.When his mommy was pregnant, I always hoped that Xiao Ming would be a girl."

Hua Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out to be Qi Ming's father.

She thought too much, the speaker probably didn't mean that...

"As soon as I saw Xiaoxian, you felt very kind. I thought it would be great if you were also my child, and we would be with Xiaoming in the future." The corners of Speaker Qi's lips deepened.child.

"Do you want to be filial to you with the Marshal?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The young couple.

"Understood, you want me to be your daughter. The speaker looks very kind, and it really makes people feel like a father."

"..."

Speaker Qi fell silent.

No, girl!It's the daughter-in-law, not the daughter!!

Hua Xian said solemnly: "I already have an aunt who loves me very much, and I have entered her household registration. I respect my aunt very much, as if I were a mother. I have never met my biological parents, and I have never felt what a father's love is.If you wish, I can respect and love you as a father."

She, who is an orphan in both worlds, suddenly feels hopeful.

It seems that multiple dads are not bad.

Speaker Qi wanted to cry. He almost had a premonition that the father-son relationship he had just repaired with his son was on the verge of breaking down. Instead of finding a daughter-in-law for his son, he found a younger sister for his son.

"I made some new bread with creamy strawberry jam. I'll send it to you. The marshal likes sweets. He said butterflies like sweet things. You should do the same." Hua Xian opened the cupboard and took out a large bottle of strawberry jam.Butter, "I'll send these to you and spread them on the center of the toast bread provided by the Federation Army. It's sweet and delicious. Ah, by the way, the sugar cane in the field seems to be ripening soon. I'll send you some. Add some irrigationSpicy jerky and quick-frozen dumplings.”

While talking, Hua Xian packed up a large box of delicious food, fully half a meter high, for Speaker Qi, who is keen on being a father to others.

Speaker Qi: I'm sorry son, she gave too much. Dad is really hungry.

"Xiaoxian is so nice, Dad is so happy."

"If you like it, I can send it to you often in the future." Hua Xian said, "You and your aunt are both in Capital Star, so I will send two copies of food, one to her and one to Qi's family."

Speaker Qi was very moved, it's better to be a daughter, the caring little padded jacket: "Daddy likes it so much!"

"The rose from last time, is it comfortable to sleep? Why don't I give you a pot of irises and a different bed."

"Really? I'm so looking forward to it." Chairman Qi has completely fallen into the joy of owning a female goose, and threw the son out of the blue sky, "The roses are growing well, Xiaoxian don't worry, Dad didn't let it wither, let aloneLet someone else touch it. What does an iris look like?"

"Well, the flowers are blue-purple, like butterflies."

"I look forward to it even more!"

The two of them, like a father and daughter, chatted on the phone for a full hour.

Speaker Qi said with emotion: "Xiao Ming never chatted with Dad for so long. Dad is actually very lonely by himself, an empty-nest old butterfly, and wants to talk to the child. But now I am not afraid, with Xiaoxian as my daughter..."

A cold voice sounded behind Hua Xian: "What daughter? Who is your daughter?"

Qi Ming came back from the Amentis, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiaoxian talking on the phone with his chairman father.

Hua Xian turned her head: "You are back, are you done with your work?"

Qi Ming nodded, staring at the slightly flustered face of the chairman's father in the holographic video: "Father, you'd better give me an explanation." Did the lover become a brother and sister?Which one is this?

Speaker Qi: "Ah, Leonard suddenly came to me with something, bye bye son, dad loves you."

The video cuts off instantly.

Qi Ming's fists were already clenched, "Why did he call you daughter?"

Hua Xian: "The speaker called himself father, and then..."

Qi Mingjun's face darkened; "I don't need a younger sister."

Hua Xian felt that Little Butterfly was in a bad mood: "Oh, those who don't have household registration, just show respect to the empty-nest old butterfly and chat."

Qi Ming's thin lips became a thin line, his golden pupils were like a deep well, with an undercurrent surging, his voice was a little hoarse: "Do you not want to enter the Qi family's household registration?"

This is tantamount to rejecting him.

Hua Xian: "Yes."

You said that you don't need a younger sister, so I definitely won't join, and I have an aunt, and she needs to be on the same account as my aunt.

Qi Ming's long and curly eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up the sadness in his golden pupils, his almost perfect jaw line was a little cold, and his whole body seemed to be in the shadows.

Hua Xian got up, walked around him, and left.

Seeing her leaving without looking back, Qi Ming's eyes dimmed completely. He sat on the sofa, staring at a vase of lilies, irises, and sunflowers in a daze.

butterfly emo

After a quarter of an hour.

The door of the living room opened suddenly, Hua Xian walked in with gloves on, holding a few long sugar canes in his arms, smiling: "The sugar cane in the field is ripe, I cut some of them, let's try something new."

Qi Ming looked at the door in surprise, only to see that the sugarcane was taller than her, and there were many green leaves on it. She hugged it horizontally and walked into the backyard.I found a knife for peeling sugar cane, and chopped off the sugar cane from the beginning to the end, and peeled the sugar cane cleanly.

"This acre of land is planted with sugar cane, which is mainly used for sugar production. I want to use them to make brown sugar, white sugar, syrup, etc. However, sugar cane itself is also a kind of fruit, which can be eaten.The taste is a bit worse than fruit cane."

While talking, Hua Xian chopped the sugar cane into pieces and put them in a clean crystal basin.

"Try it."

Hua Xian pushed the crystal basin in front of Little Butterfly.

Qi Ming stopped being emo the moment he saw her come back and peeled the fruit for him to eat. He picked up a small piece of sugar cane, put it near his mouth, and took a bite: "Sweet, delicious."

Immediately afterwards, he took another bite, the third, and the fourth.

Hua Xian: "Huh?"

There seems to be something wrong!

"Did you swallow the bagasse?" She hurried forward, grabbed the shoulder of the marshal on the sofa, and said nervously, "That's not tasty. To eat sugarcane is to chew it, and to eat sugarcane juice is sweet."smell, spit out the bagasse."

Qi Ming: "The taste is relatively bad, but it's not impossible to eat."

The veins in the temples of Hua Xian's forehead throbbed: "You don't need to be so economical. Our family's one-acre sugarcane field can't afford it. You even ate the bagasse. If it spread, those who didn't know thought I wasabuse you."

The corners of Qi Ming's lips raised slightly: "Okay."

He gnawed one by one, chewing and chewing, and when he lost his taste, he spit out the bagasse.

very sweet.

It's a bit sticky on hands and lips.

Hua Xian saw that he had a good appetite, so she peeled two more sugar canes and cut them into small pieces that are convenient to eat. Finally, she tasted one herself. Compared with the common fruit cane in the Great Xia Kingdom on Earth, it was a bit worseMeaning, but in a fruit-poor interstellar, it's not bad.

"Let's keep some and eat them as fruits, and make sugar for the rest. Now the federal army is supplying sugar-free toast, but in fact, adding about 20g of sugar to the toast will taste better."

Hua Xian thought, "One mu of land can produce almost 10,000 catties of sugarcane. Under normal circumstances, it can produce more than 1,500 catties of sugar. Let some side buds be left to cultivate new sugarcane harvests, and there will be a steady stream. And withSugar, and flour, to make more pastries."

This time, she only brought five bags of white sugar in the space, which was actually not enough, and she used many of them to make strawberry jam and cream.Considering the availability of sugarcane, we bought less.

"The 10,000 catties of sugar cane can't all be made by hand." Qi Ming looked at her, "Let Shu Ling's Shuguang branch get a sugar making machine, which can save a lot of trouble."

He still remembers that when she first started running the flower shop, she had to do many things by hand because of limited conditions.

Now that the conditions are up, there is no need to bother.

"it is good."

Hua Xian immediately sent a message to the factory manager Shuoling, explaining the request, and promised the other party ten sugar canes. The factory manager immediately agreed happily and started construction.

Within two days, there was another small sugar factory in Qinshan City.

The location is also in the east district of Qinshan City.

In the sugar factory, there is a sugar making machine designed by the factory manager, his employees, and apprentices. According to the sugar making steps provided by Hua Xian, this interstellar large-scale fully automatic sugar making machine assembly includes three parts, the firstThe first component is automatic juice extraction; the second component of the sugar machine is the key, which processes the squeezed sugarcane juice, removes impurities, evaporates and crystallizes it into brown sugar; the third component is roughly the same as the second component, except that it is evaporated and crystallized at the endIt's white sugar.

The Federal Happiness Sugar Factory is the fourth Lingzhi factory after the pharmaceutical factory, perfume factory, and breeding farm.

However, this sugar factory is not large now.

"It is possible to cultivate sugarcane on a large scale."

Hua Xian planned to set up another mountain top with about 20 mu of land, and drove the tiller up, and one machine could cultivate it in less than half a day.

More than 10,000 catties of sugar cane were harvested from one mu of field, and the flowers were left for planting.

Before, the sugarcane seedlings bought from the Great Xia Kingdom on Earth were planted directly, but if you grow seedlings yourself, you can grow seedlings from the joints of the sugarcane stems, or you can directly cut off the top stems and use them as seeds.Most of these stem-like spiritual plants can reproduce through stems.

It took Hua Xian three to five days to cultivate a mountain of 20 acres of land from the 10,000 catties of sugarcane. The sugarcane seedlings needed were planted in the ground, and the planting was successfully expanded.

"The more than 10,000 catties can be sent to the sugar factory."

The sugar factory has hired 30 workers, because it is small and there are enough people.

The sugar factory is different from the bakery. The workers in the bakery get flour, but the sugar factory gets the sugar cane itself. So just to be on the safe side, Hua Xian decided to hire 30 giant pandas.

Today, of the 100,000 pandas living in the Federal Happiness Community, 70% have been arranged to work, and the rest are still being arranged.These "nurtured" giant pandas are very grateful and loyal to the mayor who raised them.

"The monthly salary is 10,000 star coins, not including food."

Hua Xian's happy staff canteen is now only open to friends and management, otherwise the hundreds of employees can't afford it.

The 100,000 giant pandas can't afford to eat, so we find jobs for them and let them earn money to live.

However, the area of the bamboo forest will expand in the future, and they can eat for free.

"Ten thousand is already high, Mayor."

"Mayor, my brother asked if there is still a chance to immigrate. He missed the Amentis last time."

"Yes, my third uncle also asked me to ask. He also wants to bring his family to live in Qinshan City, and he doesn't want to stay on planet B0002 anymore."

"And my sister's family."

The giant panda employees of the sugar factory looked at the mayor with anticipation.

Hua Xian: "Happy Panda Community, Phase 3 and Phase 4 welfare buildings are still vacant. If you have relatives and friends who are willing to come, you can go to Xia You to count the number. If you have enough 5,000 people, I will send a federal patrolShip No. 888, go pick it up."

No. 888 can only carry about 5,000 people.

It is completely incomparable with the aircraft carrier and frigate of the Marshal.

Emigration cannot be done overnight. Let some giant pandas immigrate here first, first settle down, improve their level, have food and clothing, and become rich, and then attract other giant pandas to move over one after another.

"Okay! Thank you, Mayor!" The giant panda in the sugar factory cheered, "My sister's family can also come to live a happy life."

Hua Xian discovered that giant pandas seem to dote on their daughters and younger sisters, just like Xia Ya, her elder brother can't go to school by himself, so he has to work part-time to help her with tuition and living expenses.No objection.

The sugar factory began to operate, mainly producing white sugar.

A large amount of yellow sugar cane was cleaned by giant panda employees and sent to the sugar making machine. After several processes, white sugar crystals with sweet fragrance came out from the outlet and were sealed into sugar jarsinside.

As for these white sugar, Hua Xian sent part of it directly to the bakery: "Add 15 to 20 grams of white sugar to a piece of toast."

In this way, she raised the cost of toast.

The price of toast sold to the Federation Corps remained unchanged, 200 star coins per pack, but she believed that the soldiers could tell the difference and feel the sincerity of the manufacturer.

In this way, sugar-added toast, about 1,500 bags, was packed into cruise ship No. 888 and sent to the Federal Army.

*.*.*

Since the Federation Legion began to supply toast every other day, many soldiers got up before dawn on the supply day, packed up and waited in line at the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Today I can get four slices of toast again for breakfast." A black-skinned soldier with bright eyes said, "That's why I joined the army."

When it was his turn, he received four slices of toast and a bottle of nutritional supplements from the window.If it is a day without toast, you can receive two nutritional supplements.

After the black-skinned robust soldier received it, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it twice. He was stunned: "Today's toast seems to be extra sweet, and the taste is even better!"

"Sweeter than the day before yesterday!"

"Federal Happiness Bakery, did you upgrade the toast?"

"Look, there is a note on the packaging bag at the back. There is something extra, called white sugar."

"It's delicious! I've drank industrial saccharin-flavored nutritional supplements, which are very greasy. This taste is completely different."

Naturally, the Federal Legion was well received again. The star network blew up the toast of the Federal Happiness Factory to the sky and the earth, and once again set off a wave of higher enthusiasm for joining the army.

The Federal Speaker also received the delicacies that Hua Xian sent him, with a pot of irises attached.

The speaker's father was very happy, opened the strawberry jam, spread it on the sliced toast, took a big bite, and squinted his eyes happily: "When the Federal Legion was still cheering for the sugared toast, the speaker alreadyRealize the freedom of strawberry jam toast, hey, it feels like a female goose pet, that's good."

After eating, he opened the box of spicy beef jerky, took out a small piece, put it in his mouth, and tasted it tastefully, "It's also very good to stimulate the spicy taste."

After a big meal, the speaker's father was extremely satisfied.

Put the pot of irises on the table near the window in the bedroom, and it turned into a butterfly imitation, fluttering golden wings, landed on the irises, took a comfortable nap for a while, and decided to take a beautiful nap.

Butterfly is so happy and happy.

The speaker's father was woken up by a call from federal congressman Leonard, and the optical brain kept ringing.

"What's the matter, Leonard?"

"Master Speaker, for some reason, some of the batch of toast supplied to the Federation Legion ended up in a certain research institute in the capital star. Now the experts of that research institute insist on claiming on the Internet that the toast'sAfter testing and analyzing the main material, flour, he found that it was very difficult. It was probably ground from some kind of spiritual plant fruit in the age of the ancient stars.A small number of people seem to believe it."

"That's all."

Speaker Qi was very calm. He didn't have the energy to wake up, and he turned into a human again. In front of outsiders, he was still the iron-blooded and ruthless Federal Speaker. "Let them talk."

Congressman Leonard was a little anxious: "But Mr. Speaker, don't you care at all, what is the raw material of this toast? If it is really the fruit of some kind of spiritual plant, then...then..."

The emotions were too excited, and even a little incoherent.

Speaker Qi: "What do you want to express?"

Leonard took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "If it is really made by the fruit of the spiritual plant, then there must be a big problem with this federal happiness bakery, and it needs to be investigated carefully."

"investigation?"

Speaker Qi's dark golden eyes narrowed dangerously, "This bakery is opened by my daughter-in-law, and the Marshal personally supervises it, so what's the problem? Even if it is really the fruit of Lingzhi, she is also contributing to the Federation."

Leonard was extremely surprised: "When did Marshal Qi Ming get married?"

This shock is bigger.

Speaker Qi: "Well, my daughter-in-law is beautiful and filial, and Little Butterfly has given birth to two."
