244 6.38 Nail Polish, Srikaya, Fruit Jams, XO Sauce And 9 New Warehouses.

"What are you going to do next, Himura? Is this your new expansion plans for Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha? It seems that we would be adding more workforce and employees here."

"That's right Izumi. We are going to expand even further by the start of the 6th month operational here. We can't be stagnant and relax and we need to keep on going forward to be able to employ more workers, keeping the residents employed, and for them to be able to upgrade their lives."

"Could you ask Sensei for the report and breakdown of everyone's salary? It's in a ledger... I'm going to finish up my Plannings here."

First I wrote 'NAIL POLISH' as my header and wrote the next sentence as 'CLEAR LAQUER' and 'PRIMER' and I wrote 'COLOR PIGMENTS' before lastly, I wrote as 'ACETONE'.

Izumi had returned with the ledger and I placed it aside." How many basic colours are there, Izumi? She pondered for a while and replied, "VIBGYOR... Violet, Indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. These are the spectral colours from white light."

"Violet, Indigo and Blue has several shades, right? Violet can be purple or light purple would be lilac. Indigo would be something like dark blue and be lighten while blue can be as the clear blue sky."

'Yes, it has many shades and depending on the thickness of the colour pigment. Use too much it would be darker and lesser makes it have a much lower tone and brighter."

"What do you have in mind? I studied calligraphy but instead of using ink, we used colour pigments and make a simple white sheet to become pictures of a scene. Then we trace them out with Molten wax and made it permanent and prevent bleeding."

"That's good if you have such knowledge. I'm going to develop 'NAIL POLISH' and market it under your name, Izumi Kenshin... How do you like that sound? When you walk around, your coin pouch would make the sound Kenshin... Kenshin... Kenshin... Hahahahaha"

"I would like that, not the sound of my coin pouch but your made-up family name. Hehehehe. So what's nail polish?" she asked with full interest and I guess I made her wet just by naming her Izumi Kenshin. Hahahahaha. Notty Notty little boy...

"Remember Kikyo was wearing the rouge that belongs to Inuyasha's late mother? That's a lipstick. Nail polish is what you would put on your fingers. Permanently until you apply acetone and made it disappear. And apply another colour or make designs with your fingernails."

"That be a nice and wonderful idea. So one day we can use red, then the next blue, and so on right? How many colours would you be thinking off?"

"We have 7 main colours and we may produce 5 shades and that makes into a total of 35 range of a single product. And each sells for a good coin, and our employee could purchase them at 1-3 silvers only."

"Wow...saya suka...! Saya suka...! Saya suka...! Izumi suddenly transformed and clapped her hands just like Mei Mei character in the Upin Ipin and Friends anime series by Les Cospaque. Goggle it, my friends, it's both in English or Malay Language.

Hahahahahaha... Just the thought of these made Izumi happy and she clapped her hands like a little girl full of joy. Is it she or the Director made her do that.... *mystery*

I told her to make a note of the 7 colours and asked her to get for me half a kilo each for a trial and a half litre of acetone to wipe it off. She made a note into her sketchpad and gave me a thumbs up. Great...! 35 colours, 35 production lines, 3 warehouses.

I then proceeded on the next page and wrote 'SRIKAYA' and below it, I wrote the ingredients based on a litre or 3 bottles of coconut jam spread.

+-==Ingredients==-+

10 eggs

450 g sugar

20 g freshly pressed screwpine juice

500 ml of coconut milk

+-==Instructions==-+

Whisk the eggs and sugar together.

Mix in coconut milk and add in screw pine juice

Fill the base of a double boiler with water and bring to boil.

Add the mixture to the top unit and keep stirring for 1 hour until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.

Cool and bottle up.

I showed it to Izumi and she was interested to learn about this new spread by using coconut milk, eggs and sugar. If the pinaatsubata mug would be used it would be slightly more than 3 mugs full. I told her the design of the bottle remains and only the words would be changed. I drew the present logo and changed 'pinaatsubata' to become 'srikaya' instead. 1 flavour, 10 production lines, 2 warehouses.

Next, I made the heading of 'FRUIT JAMS' and asked her how many fruits are there in Fukushima and she rattled off that we had 15 different kinds of fruits. Great, we are going to use these 15 fruits and the last 2 hours of the shift is being utilised to prepare the fruits beforehand and let it cool.15 fruit flavours, 15 production lines. 2 warehouses. 8 on 1 while 7 on the other.

+-==Ingredients==-+

6 cups chopped fruits (about 550-650 grams)

1/2 cup white or brown sugar

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

A pinch salt

+-==Preparations==-+

Cut the fruit into even pieces.

Mash the fruit and sugar together.

Boil the fruit for 20 minutes

Know when the jam is done: Simply dribble some hot jam from the pot into its sides.

Force cool the pot by immersing it in cold water and replace it every 10-15 minutes before bottling it.

Not bad...not bad at all. I showed Izumi the same bottle and changed the logo design to 'Fruit Jams' instead. She nodded and take note of the processing time and other procedures.

The next one would be 'XO Sauce'. It is red, it is fiery and its wonderful taste would compliment steamed rice, fried rice, yakisoba, udon, ramen et cetera. Its better than wasabi because it has other goodies inside.

+-==Ingredients==-+

12 kilo blended dry chilli

3-kilo blended garlic

3 kilo crushed unsalted Fermented brown soya beans

1 kilo of crushed fried skinless groundnuts

3-kilo sugar

1-kilo salt

3 kilo of blended dried shrimps

10 litres of coconut oil

3 kg of tamarind juice

+-==Process==-+

Cut the dry chilli's and shake off its seeds

Boil the cut chilli's into a big pot until soft.

Run it to a blender like the making of Feroa Kurina.

Blend garlic and shrimps before setting aside.

Hand crush the Fermented soya beans.

Hand crush the skinless groundnuts too.

Start stoking the fire stove with the wok. 2 workers to 1 wok. Add some oil and let it simmer before adding garlic. Fry till fragrance and then dump all ingredients inside before adding oil on top.

Continue stirring until you see volcanic eruptions of chilli from the wok. Keep stoking firewood till the 2nd hour and let the embers slowly cook and dry up the XO Sauce a little.

The whole process would take about 3 hours per wok. Stir to prevent the formation of the crust underneath.

A warehouse would be built half with the exposed ceiling. 15 rocket stoves and 15 woks are utilised. Balance 20 employees to help prepare ingredients and bottled them once left overnight to cool. 30 woks, 2 warehouses, 100 employees.

"Cool... Not a bad idea, Himura. Right...now what I need to do is making things in order through a new checklist. Once it's done, we could proceed with the 3 plot of lands that we may acquire from His Majesty. A Decree is unnecessary, just call the residents concern and they would agree without much protest.

Using authority over power and of course, Yours Truly paid the amount dutifully to compensate them. Certain matters have to be achieved just that in order to get things done in a smooth manner. Furthermore being compensated is a sure way for them to agree and getting their own piece of land and to build whatever they want on it.

Yup... Having too much funds... We need to throw away some too. Hehehe.
