Chapter 168 Commission

As Lin Fan pressed the start button, the machine began to run smoothly.

Black iron cans slide along the conveyor belt one after another, and a high-powered rotor pump precisely injects 150 ml of raw pulp into the cans.

Cover with aluminum foil easy-tear film, vacuum, and tighten the outer cover.

All in one go.

As they watched the small black cans gradually pile up at the finished product outlet, Qin Lang and Su Xiaoxiao, standing outside the glass partition, unconsciously held their breath.

They knew perfectly well that these unassuming little black jars didn't contain any drinks at all.

That was the "liquid gold" that could drive the entire Jiangcheng's elite and young people crazy during this sweltering summer.

In less than an hour, all 500 cans of raw pulp were filled, bringing the total to nearly 800 cans including the previous ones.

Lin Fan took off his sterile gown and came out, pointing to the finished products on the shelf.

"Qin Lang, take 150 cans with you. Send 100 cans to the Grand Hyatt Hotel as a VIP special, as originally planned. As for the remaining 50 cans, do whatever you want with them, give them away or sell them, it's up to you."

"Alright!" Qin Lang's eyes lit up. These fifty cans would definitely be the ultimate weapon for showing off in his circle of rich kids.

Lin Fan turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, take fifty cans back to school first."

"Fifty cans?" Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, instinctively becoming a little anxious.

"Brother Lin, this isn't enough! My notebook alone has reservations for 120 dorm rooms. If I only take fifty cans back, the rest of the students will devour me alive..."

Lin Fan's tone was extremely calm:

"There's nothing I can do if it's not enough. This is pure handmade liquor, and I also have to take care of serving the restaurant. This is all the production I can allocate to the university town each day."

Lin Fan picked up a towel and wiped his hands, looking at the somewhat bewildered Su Xiaoxiao, and said calmly:

"In the food business, quality always comes first. To dilute food with water or shorten cooking time just to meet quotas would be to ruin my own reputation."

"Go back and tell them the truth. Tell them there are only fifty cans available each day, and it's first-come, first-served according to the order of registration. Those who don't get a turn will have to wait until tomorrow."

After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip.

Although she felt some pressure facing those girls who were urging her to place orders, seeing Lin Fan's calm and unwavering stance, she suddenly felt more at ease.

Yes, Brother Lin's stuff is so good, people should be begging to buy it, why should he lower himself to cater to the demand?

Qin Lang, who had been leaning against the wall watching the commotion, also chimed in with a smile:

"Little girl, you still haven't figured it out? With your brother Lin's skills, do you really need to beg others to buy from you?"

Qin Lang, a wealthy second-generation heir who grew up in the business world, knew the ins and outs of this place all too well. He casually offered some advice:

"Good things are inherently scarce. If you take these fifty cans back and let the first batch of people drink them, I guarantee that the rest of the people who didn't get them won't blame you at all. They'll just regret not being faster enough, and tomorrow they'll be even more frantic, bringing money to you to pre-order."

Lin Fan didn't respond to Qin Lang's words. He didn't need to engage in such psychological warfare; he was only responsible for making things impeccable.

He handed Su Xiaoxiao a sturdy canvas bag filled with fifty tin cans.

"These fifty cans are priced at 888. For every can sold, I'll give you a 100 yuan commission."

Lin Fan looked at Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, which widened instantly:

"Your mother's subsequent rehabilitation will require money, and this money is what you deserve through your own hard work and running errands at school."

Su Xiaoxiao felt as if the canvas bag in her hand was incredibly heavy.

Fifty cans, with a commission of one hundred per can... that's a full five thousand yuan!

If she makes fifty cans every day, she can earn 150,000 yuan a month!

This will not only completely pay off the family's debts, but also allow my mother to live a very good life in her later years!

"Brother Lin, I promise I'll complete the mission!"

Su Xiaoxiao hugged the canvas bag full of fifty tin cans tightly, nodded heavily to Lin Fan, and turned to leave Lin's shop.

The autumn heat outside is still fierce, with waves of heat hitting you in the face.

But Su Xiaoxiao felt her steps were unusually light.

Fifty cans, a commission of forty thousand yuan—this money was too important to her; she absolutely could not mess up the task Lin Ge had assigned her.

……

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiangcheng University, Girls' Dormitory Building No. 4.

It was lunchtime, and although it was early autumn, the corridors were still as stuffy as a giant steamer because the air conditioning circuits in these old dormitory buildings were still malfunctioning and had not been repaired.

Many girls, dressed in light pajamas, carrying washbasins and towels, listlessly lined up at the water room to fetch water.

Su Xiaoxiao carried the heavy canvas bag on her back and walked up to the fourth floor, covered in sweat.

She had just pushed open the door to her dormitory room.

"Xiaoxiao! You're finally back!"

Roommate Li Na, like a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert for three days, saw an oasis and jumped up from her chair, her eyes fixed on the bag on Su Xiaoxiao's back.

"Where's the original juice? Did you bring it back?!"

The other two roommates, Chen Min and Wang Jia, quickly gathered around, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Ever since they drank that small cup of "miracle water" before, the three of them have found the food in the cafeteria tasteless these past few days, and their minds are filled with that extremely ethereal, sweet and sour aftertaste that can instantly dispel all the heat.

"I brought it back, take a look."

Su Xiaoxiao took a breath, placed the heavy canvas bag on the table, and unzipped it.

Wow! This packaging!

Li Na picked up a metal can directly.

It felt slightly heavy to the touch, and the minimalist matte finish and the antique dark gold seal script characters instantly appealed to her aesthetic as a female college student.

"The texture is even more luxurious than those high-end serums I buy that cost thousands of dollars a bottle!"

"Quick, quick! Xiaoxiao, our dorm was the first to pre-order! I want this one! Bye-bye, right? I've already transferred the money to your WeChat!"

Li Na couldn't wait to scan the code, and then "hiss" tore open the aluminum foil easy-tear film.

That familiar, overwhelmingly strong aroma of smoky plums and crisp fruit scent once again filled the stuffy dormitory room.

"Me too! Me too!" Chen Min and Wang Jia quickly took out their phones to transfer money.

While collecting the money, Su Xiaoxiao took out the remaining cans from the canvas bag.

"Nana, how's the post you made on the confession wall going?" Su Xiaoxiao asked while organizing the reservation list.

"It's already caused an uproar!"

While mixing the syrup with ice water, Li Na mumbled indistinctly:

"You have no idea, after these past few days of this going on, the comments section has almost reached a thousand pages!"

"Everyone's asking where they can buy it. Just now, a rich second-generation senior from the sports department next door even added me on WeChat and said he wanted to pay two thousand yuan to buy the one I had on hand!"
