The day came for the distribution of rice packets for the families in the outermost district who seemed to be struggling with the management of their household or finances. I thought to myself that this would end soon because 750 more people would be employed.
All the plant managers took their tasks seriously, while Sango and Kohaku, the execom members, Hiko-sama and I went about the tasks of helping the residents to get their ration and exit in an orderly manner.
Even as 50 kilograms of rice was given to Sango to distribute to the members in Youkai Taijiya village, we still had leftovers that were distributed to both Eastern and western monastery.
The event ended quickly and in an orderly manner and we headed back and rested in the garden afterwards.
"CFO-san, you have sent the letters and Refined Steel pieces to all 14 Blacksmith Alliance in the 3 Prefecture? CEO-san had informed me that you had contacted the 11 capitals of Miyagi, Akita, Iwate, Aomori, Ibaraki, Gunma, Saitama, Nagano, Yamanashi, Kanagawa and Chiba Prefecture."
"It is a combined 220+ cities and towns and would they be performing their own pickups, as usual, CFO-san? An average of 20 Blacksmith Alliance secondary members would be here from each capital. What is your expected supply for each capital based on an average of 20 Blacksmith?"
"They will do their own pickups and be escorted midway. Each representative capital would provide their own escorts midway and once our escorts had reached that point, they would return back to Kitakata."
"Our escorts would be spending at least 12 hours on the trail to and from Kitakata so it would be taken over by their own thereafter. We would be offering this free service to them and the men involved under this new operations would be salaried by us."
"As for the supply, the Master of the Forge Masters had decided to supply at least 60,000 Refined Iron Plates per day to our town. He will use a Chinook transport helicopter and transport it over here. You all won't hear the rotary blades of the helicopter because they're in stealth mode."
"These 60,000 Refined Steel Plates would be delivered over a period of every 5 days with a break in the middle. As we know these Blacksmith not only deals with weapons and armours."
"They also make machinery parts and so on. So the demand for these Refined Steel Plates would definitely be a huge demand in their industries and as for us it would thus turn this corporation into a Mega Empire that monopolised the whole market."
"There might a chance to further upgrade the supply of the Refined Plates in the future and the supply of these plates could be doubled to up to 120,000 per day. We will see how we could improve on the supply and in the meantime, CEO-san and I would be a bit busy from dinner time onwards today."
"Yes, CEO-san, we understand."
"Sango, here are a few pieces of gold coins, you can take those on the 1st and 3rd shifts girls to accompany you to the trading district later on after afternoon tea. You wouldn't mind, do you? Oh yeah, if you need extra coins, ask the girls where is the charity box and you can get it from there. It's a small change that we compile every now and then."
"Thanks, Himura, I and Kohaku would like to hang around the area a bit, would that be okay? We would like to see how each product is being made. I am sure it is a hit with the rest of those who bought them."
"Sure, this place is free for you to walk about and meet the people. Only thing is to not enter a room called Ops Room, that's all."
"Thank you, come Kohaku, I want to see the Karada Soap on how it was made. The smell is so nice and it's like a bar of food. Even Kirara lives the smell too."
Sango led Kohaku out to walk through the production grounds and made themselves at home with Kitakata Village.
"We have a task for you guys. We need to you to calculate each production line, except for STM line and calculate how many people we need per line if we were to fill up the existing people with a minimum of 50 personnel per shift."
"Include in 750 of unemployed female employees for the 5 new product lines that we would be adding to make up a total of 1,800 employees with the exclusion of the support staffs, and look for 12 more female cooks to support a total number of 600 employees per shift."
"One of you will need to summon the suppliers of grain, vegetables, fruits, while another to summon the suppliers for fish, meat and poultry. The cooks will decide what to strike off from the shopping list and add a few more items to enhance their meals for the employees later on."
"Thank you, Gentlemen. Everyone is dismissed."
"PROGRESS!" the men shouted after they had saluted us and went to the outermost District and gather up to those who would be interested to be employed with Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha.
After a lapse of 15-20 minutes later, the suppliers came with their list of currently supplied items and I had asked for the initial 4 cooks to come and join us at the garden as we discussed on the products that were currently being supplied by them.
Some minutes later, the fish meat and poultry had a few more addition to the list that he had supplied that includes Shishamo smelt (shishamo), Japanese yellowtail (buri), Seabream (Tai), Bonito (katsuo), Eel (unagi), Horse mackerel (aji) and pacific saury (sanma), Pacific bluefin tuna (maguro) and Chum salmon (sake). Beef and mutton from sheep, duck and chicken remain.
1 type of fish would be sent daily and rotational so that the diet would be changed regularly.
The fruit seller had an addition on watermelons and seedless guava. Lastly more greens were added for the vegetables seller, such as Kabu (turnip), Satoimo (taro root), Gobo (burdock root), Takenoko (bamboo shoot), Negi (leek, green onion), Nasu (eggplant, aubergine), Shishito (Small Japanese green pepper), Okura (okra), and Goya (bitter melon).
The vegetables would be sent 3 types rotationally daily with the exception of coconut, lemongrass, screw pine leaves, onions, garlic, peppers and ginger that would be replenished as and when needed as they won't need quantities like a huge basket per day.
As for the meat, it would be supplied as and when needed rotationally between beef, mutton, chicken and duck in order of preferences. In this way every 5th day the employees would be eating meat for lunch and fish for dinner. In between, it would be up to the ingenuity of the cooks.
This would be for the supply of 600 personnel and had to be tripled since the number of cooks would also be increased to another 8 and 4 more assistants.
After we had settled the short meeting in the garden, Hiko-sama and I decided to enter the Realm of Mind to improve on the production of Refined Steel Plates for distribution soon. A total of 25 Refined Steel Plates had been distributed for review by the Blacksmith Alliance in the 25 Prefecture and in a few days time, we would be soon hearing from them.
Upon entering the Blacksmithing area, we discussed in the upgrades that we wished for. Hiko-sama wished to have a roller system to be installed on the ground so that once a pallet had been filled with 100 moulding trays, it could be safely rolled to a location instead of carrying each tray back and forth and completed a 10,000 steps achievement on the pedometer!
I thought about it and visualised a kind of platform just big enough to cover the surface of a wooden pallet. The platform uses unidirectional metal rollers and had a handle underneath it and be set upright just like a pallet truck.
A pallet could safely be stacked with 25 moulding trays which are equivalent to 125 trays or capacity of 1250 Refined Plates. I visualised a dozen of those pallet trucks and Hiko-sama was delighted when it finally materialises before him.
Next comes the roller conveyor system. I extended it to another 2 meters and the enclosed forced cooling system was extended as well. I thought of visualising 2 dispenser system for the Molten steel but in the end, I decided against it as it makes work a bit too hurried and rush and may cause certain mishaps.
So I decided to be the operator and Hiko-sama would load it once each tray had gone through the forced cooling system, and the tray had reached his end before he lifts it up with his fireproof gloves and stack on the pallet. This time, he does not need to walk over to place the trays and just place it within reach.
Since we are there, we decided to run the 4,000 pieces based on the cartloads of iron ore, coal and limestone according to the estimated proportion of 8 buckets of iron ores, 2 buckets of coal and limestone.
Everything was melted in the automated bellow system, as we scooped up slag and other impurities and dump it in the abyss that would appear on someone's backyard! Hahahaha.
After some time of removing the slag, I finally lifted the boom to pour the molten steel into the dispenser and places a tray of 10 shallow mouldings in the target boxed area and stepped the pedal to unleash the molten steel into it.
We proceeded to produce as much as 6,000 moulding trays and had filled almost 5 pallets. Back in our real world, we already had a collection of 60,000 more or less and this was made over a duration of 10 days, while we managed to make the same amount in 3 hours of earth time.

I switched off the machine and soon we logged off from our meditative state and return to the real world. It was well worth spending of 3 hours making those batches.
Since we would be free for the next 3 days or so, we decided to dive into the Realm of Mind daily and produce up to 3x the amount daily and push out a batch of 6,000 pieces or more nightly to be packed and stored by the storekeeper.
Sango and Kohaku decide to go back to the village for a few days after discovering that we were busy with our affairs and told us that they would return on the 4rh day. So we bade them farewell at the outskirts of town before returning to our tasks.
The 4 ambassadors had taken some time to gather 750 new employees and had gathered 250 female employees aged between 12-32 since Kitakata is made up of young and huge families. It's easier since the new employees knew of the 3 rotating shifts and managed to gather and assemble 250 employees in an empty warehouse.
We stood on the elevated staging platform to make our initial address after making a headcount and separated the ladies into 5 groups of 50s. The supplies of raw materials had been placed in the warehouses with the addition of new equipment for the preparation of the new 5 products.
Their names were taken down by the 5 execom members and they were told to report to work the following next day and to learn a new trade that they had to keep it as a secret. No one is supposed to leak the secret out or suffer the consequences of pile rubbish that I had ignited using a Fire Release after making a handseal.
The 2nd shift and 3rd shift employees were briefed in the same manner. With the addition of 750 new personnel, new vests were required so an order for the new working vest with the corporate name on its back and their individual names were silkscreened on the left breast pocket.
Each vest has to be sorted according to their shifts so that it would be much easier to be distributed as we call out their names to collect them. It took several weeks before everyone had their vests. Even though it was a corporate identity, but seeing throngs of employees reporting on and off duty put smiles on their faces.
Also, in addition to the 750 new employees, we discovered that some households have at least 2 family members working for the corporation and while some had even 3! This way, the living conditions of the employee's greatly improved.
The Plant Managers had a day off since we need them to learn something new. They gathered in one of the warehouses and made a circle to view on what I was trying to demonstrate to them. Sandi and Kohaku had just returned to our village and joined the group.
First off, I showed the group on how to make a small batch of Facial Cleanser or that would be made up of 5 ingredients.
I took 1 cup of coconut and olive oil each and added 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and mixed them all up in a mixing bowl until it became sort like a paste.
Since Sango was there, I asked everyone to touch the T zone of Sango's face and everyone agreed that it was a bit oily. They touched theirs and find it to be the same. I explain that this is normal.
There were a washbasin and 2 face towel and a chair, and I asked Sango to wash her face first and wipe it with the face towel. After doing so, Sango sat on the chair that was provided in this demonstration. I took the mixing bowl and dabs some on Sango's forehead, the sides of the nose's bridge, her cheeks, under her bottom lip and under her jaws.
I showed Sango how to slowly rub it with her two fingers and moved in a circular motion until all her face had turned white like a momok! I told Sango to leave it for a minute or two for it to dry and then rinse it off using the towel.
After she had washed her face, she finds that her skin was radiating with freshness and there is no more oiliness on the skin. She puffed out her cheeks and said that her skin felt taut and bouncy.
All the 6 Plant Managers had written down the instructions and all wanted to try it out in their faces. They went home to collect their face towels and began to dab it on each other faces before scrubbing it evenly on their faces and rinses it off after leaving a minute or two.
They felt that their skin felt invigorating and felt very fresh and smooth. I told them that the mixture would exfoliate their dead skin away and rejuvenates their skin as it becomes tauter.
I told the girls to note if the following ingredients besides lemon juice and that are strawberries, cucumber, bananas, tomatoes. The girls noted of the 5 main ingredients and told them that these would be the main 5 ingredients.
I explained to the girls that this was called Sengan Ryo or facial cleanser. I showed to the girls that the extracts had already been prepared and 5 lines are to be organised tomorrow. Small batches are to be prepared until everyone is comprehensive enough to mix their own in a large cauldron.
Precise calculations have to be made and finally, Hanna and Izumi got the accurate ratio for a barrel of olive and coconut oil, sugar and juice extract.
Next, we moved to another warehouse where the intended production of Pomado or Pomade was being prepared.
I placed 2 tablespoons of granulated beeswax that we had procured earlier from the trading district. I melted these in a saucepan and added 3 tablespoons of coconut oil.
After it had cooled down, I added 2 teaspoons of bentonite clay which Hiko-sama had gotten from the Potter and added 5 drops of resin essence we had such as Myrrh, Frankincense, Pine, Fir, Olbinam, Agarwood or Balsam using the glass eyedropper.
Hiko-sama wanted to be the tester this time and he spread it over his hair and combed it backwards. He had used a bit to firmly hold the top of his hair down and the end results delighted him. It was the pomade that he had dreamt that everyone could afford.
The ingredients were pretty basic and once the girls had made it successfully, it could be patented and marketed to the lady boss from the cosmetics shop. The girls then calculated the ingredients to make a full cauldron and had come up with yet another accurate calculations for it.
There would be 7 lines in the pomade production and the process would be run right till the filling into its designated container and stored in the crates before being stored and accounted for by the storekeepers.
Next, we moved to the warehouse where we would be processing the BodiRoshon.
I explained that the process is the same as Hae Shanpu except that it does not contain any water at all. All it needs was a half bowl of olive oil, a quarter cup of coconut oil and a quarter cup of lye mixture.
The solution would be heated up slightly and once everything was uniformly mixed and cooled, 2 tablespoons of Essense was added and thoroughly mixed. The cooled mixture then would be bottled accordingly.
I made a note for them saying that the sequence would be followed according. 1st shift does the mix for 2nd shift, 2nd shift for 3rd and 3rd for 1st. This allows the solution to be properly cooled before storage and I explained that these solutions will not get hardened because of the ratio in the ingredients.
The girls made the necessary calculations and came up with the closest proportion for a 75-litre cauldron. I told them that this BodiRoshon would be made into 12 fragrances which were Jasmine, Rose, Lavender, Lilac, Wisteria, Frangipani, Sweet alyssum, Sweet pea, Four o'clock, Chocolate cosmos, Lily of the valley, and Gardenia.
We won't be using fruity smells because the customers would think that the Hae Shanpu would be the same product as BodiRoshon.
The girls took the bowls of facial cleanser and also the BodiRoshon with them to the next warehouse.
The next one is the simplest. It was a bath Essense that was made entirely of 70% water and 30% Essence. The girls soon took note of it and I decided to have 5 lines running. The 5 cauldrons would be mixed evenly and then would be filled and stored.
A label on the storage crate would suffice and it could be immediately stored in the crate after completion. This I said is for the use of soaking oneself in a bathtub for hours until they could turn someone in their 20s to become someone in their 70s as they slowly turned into a prune!
Everyone laughed when I used those kinds of metaphor. After the laughter died down, the 5 Essences would be Amyris, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Thyme. I showed them a few barrels that had been assigned to each line and 5 cauldrons that had to be mixed with water, stirred and then stored.
Last but not least, we showed them one of my favourites and that was peanut butter in the last production warehouse.
The peanuts were skinless and were ordered from the marketplace as such. Then it was roasted till it became slightly brown and matured thoroughly by the cooks.
The 25 kilograms of roasted peanuts were placed inside the humongous blender and I asked for the smallest girl in the group to operate it. I told Riko to operate the spindle for about 15 minutes while I poured in 3 kilos of sugar inside it. The peanuts were being blended and I took a giant wooden spatula to mixed the contents thoroughly.
After 15 minutes, the peanuts had been partially crushed and the mixture had a light peanut oil sheen as it was mixed with the sugar. This was the chunky version.
I asked another girl to take turns spinning the spindle faster for another 15 minutes and this time, the mixture inside had smoothened a lot and had turned into a buttery texture. This is called PinaatSubata.
Two variations of the peanut butter were scooped and placed into 2 separate bowls and everyone had a bun each as they scooped the contents and spread it in the middle.
The moment it enters their mouths, moans of delight were heard as they savoured the new taste that they had never tasted before. I told them it would be tastier in toasted bread or buns.
6 such blenders were in place and 3 were for chunky while the others would be the smooth buttery texture. I showed them the glass container which they said it is like a drinking mug and I told them the reason for it.
Sango remarked that it was a very good self-marketing strategy as people could use this mug for drinking as well as advertising if the product right when they raised the glass to eye level.
I highlighted that before the end of each shift, the chunky and peanut butter should be made for the next shift so they could start packing it as soon as they reported for duty. As for the peanut butter, I showed them that a paper dolly had to be placed on the mug's mouth before closing it.
This makes the peanut butter airtight and could last at most 3 to 5 days upon first consumption. This would be the rate for each jar of peanut butter in their household. I explain that the peanut oil that would surface to the top will preserve the content. Most importantly it shouldn't touch water.
The girls took notes of it and then took the remaining contents in the bowl with them. I guess the girls would be looking for hot buns next.
Before we conclude the meeting, the girls would train the new employees as for the 5 lines as there would be a relocation of equipment to the rest of the warehouse. The 1st shift for the 7 other production lines would be on paid off and operations would resume on the 2nd shift onwards.
I highlighted that the girls need to delegate the new employees so that they could start without much supervision.
The girls nodded and went to the garden to finish up their peanut butter after placing the BodiRoshon and Facial cleanser in the bathroom of Jiyu Residence.
