How did they…
This .. this… this…
Everyone stood up in disbelief, swearing they have never seen these foods and fruits grow so big in their lives.
This must be a dream.
Hiss~
Several people hissed when feeling the pain on the skin surface they just pinched.
1 week was all it took? Are you sure you didn't secretly do this several months back and are just showing the results now?
Nervously moistening their dry lips, several people felt they needed some goddamn air. They've been farming for generations, and one could say farming was now in their blood. Even though they didn't know how all seeds and crops in this world grew, they understood the basic principles of growth.
So who can tell them how it's even humanly possible to have such results?
"Artificial cultivation." Gort's voice echoed across the space, leaving them murmuring his words as though they were in a cult.
"Artificial Cultivation…"
"Artificial cultivation…"
Likely mindless zombies, they sat on the Prairie, muttering such words with unfocused eyes that stared into the space before them. Even those who were against Gort, also did the same.
Wait!
Hold on, hold on… If he cultivated it artificially, then doesn't this mean that the taste would be far worse than that of ordinary Crops? Yes! So what if they managed to grow them this big?
Taste wise, how did they compare?
****
45 minutes later, several people were truly regretting their decisions till their intestines churned.
Taste wise… taste wise… FART! Are you an idiot? Can't you see that even they were wolfing down the dishes before them like animals?
"More! More! More!"
Several people began fighting, eating and going in for second, third, and even forth rounds of food.
"Old McGee, are you crying?"
"Wooo~... Just let me cry. Have you ever tasted anything so good? The sourness from the sauce explodes in my mouth, leaving an unforgettable flavor.
"incredible! The watermelon has a unique crunchiness to it that's far better than what ordinary melons could provide."
"Hey… The ginseng soup is definitely the best. I don't know how to describe it, but it's definitely the best!"
"Idiot! How can the ginseng soup beat the tomato sauce? Are your taste buds dead or something? Obviously, the tomatoes take the cake here!"
"No way! The watermelons, although a fruit, definitely beat both of them!"
"I like watermelons the most too!"
"No, the Tomatoes!"
"Ginseng!"
"Watermelons!"
"Tomatoes!"
"Watermelons!"
"Ginseng!"
"WHAT? Old Grebber, are you looking for a fight? You dare snatch one of my watermelon slices when you just said you are a Ginseng man? Stop for me if you know you are a real man!"
…
Already, war broke out, as everyone forgot themselves while eating. Some people even began brawling after having their food stolen from their hands.
Dammit!
This was enough to start a generational feud. Don't think they won't start one over food. If you ever tasted what they just tasted now, you too would start a feud with anyone who swindles your meal out of your hands.
Look… even the children felt it reasonable to beat someone to a pulp because of this.
After the festivities, several people went home with smiles, while others had faces that looked worse than death. Who would have known that Gort would be able to grow such goods in just a week?
What made them choke and almost faint in a catatonic coma, was when Gort spoke on what agreement he had with the shareholders. What? You're selling these goods for so much money?
Poof~
Right there at them at the dinner, several people puked blood and coughed hard. When calculating the money in their minds, they soon realized that this first batch of products would yield over 60 million!
But that wasn't all. According to Gort, the next batch will be triple in number, and will definitely sell for 180 million or even more, if they get more buyers!
"We're rich! We're rich!"
Several shareholders jumped and almost touched the skies from Gort revelations.
Gawkakakakkakaka~
"Do you also know that Boss Gort said our Dividend meeting will be held every 2 weeks to divide the shares?"
"Wow! Why do I suddenly feel that 2 weeks is so far away?... Why is it only week 1 now?"
"This means that the sharing will happen before the next batch gets shipped out. It seems that every 2 weeks, batches will be sent out."
"Yes! And the more buyers and quantities we ship out, the more profit our company will have."
"Hey, I have to call that old son of mine to quit his job in the city and come back… what are you working and killing yourself for when we now have money?"
"That is, after all my daughter went through, they still treat her like trash in her company. Country girl this, country girl that… is t it better for her to work inside our Village company and earn a higher salary here?"
"Aunt Janet, you've got a point. We'll be receiving dividends as shareholders while our children receive salaries… I like the sound of that."
"Hmph! So what if we're from the village? Look! Isn't it our village that is about to blow up in wealth now?"
"As Gort said, soon, there will be countless girls begging to marry our sons and daughters!"
Sure enough, with money in one's pockets, all problems seem nonexistent.
