161 5.50 General Cleanup And Storage of Products.. (1/2)
”Sensei, would it be a good idea for us to place an order, like say 36 barrels of coconut and olive oil each and 36 sacks of lye and 36 sacks of baking powder since we have a huge warehouse and set aside a place where someone is able to heat up the baking powder to turn it into washing soda by heating it using an XXL wok on an XXL rocket stove?”
”The hae shanpu just need the 3 base soap mixture, Essense and water only. Then it would be stirred evenly to make the solution to be not too watery or thin by using a very small fire. So the ratio would be 25:25:20:5:0.5:5 which means 25 litres of coconut and olive oil, 20 litres of water for 5 kilograms of lye, 500 ml of Essense and lastly 5 litres of water.”
This set up could be done in the real world as it needs constant monitoring I explained to Hiko-sama and he nodded his head.
”We need to clear all the production of the current Karada Soap. Then send back all the moulding trays back to Realm of Mind and change it to the new concept that I had informed you earlier for the 12x3x3 inch moulding tray that the girls need to cut out after it had hardened.”
”We can shorten the process for the curing of the Karada Soap by implementing an air tunnel where ventilating and exhaust fans would assist in the airing and drying process. If it takes 3 weeks in the Realm of Mind to dry, it would then take 1 week instead, which means only 2 and a half-day to be dry on the real world.”
”With 2 girls working per pallet, I think to make 300 packs of Karada Soap would take somewhere 3 pieces per minute which meansthey will complete it by 1 hr and 45 minutes.”
”Hmm, you're right since the girls don't need to cut the soap up. But the timing you gave includes the cutting process right? So that means the one that had been fabricated now is much faster!”
I nodded because the girls started late this morning and have to wait for the low tables to be completed before they can work on the Karada Soap.
”The instructions to start on the Karada Soap was delegated to the girls when you were in the shower and I made sure they packed, wrapped, and stamped perfectly before resuming the tasks”
Since we had finished brunch, we walked back and was greeted by our guard saying that a messenger had come to send a note. We looked at it and found that Miroku and Kami had set out to Shibata straight from Yonezawa. It seems that the duo was intent to hit the target of 50,000 gold coins in gross sales in this month.
A short while, Hide and Toshi arrived after returning the horses back to the stable boys of the shogunate. They saluted us and we offered them to take a seat.
”Report CEO-san and CFO-san! Here is the list of orders for the [Purified Iron] as well as the Blacksmith's names, locale and trade section. There is also a statistics of the 5 cosmetic shops around the town and the breakdown of the payment for the lease of a locale.”
”The treasury has a cheque or receipt for an exchange of gold coins in the name of a corporate's trade name as the payee and could be directly paid into the corporate account when presented with the book and receipt at the same time. The exchange rate is the same as Kitakata.”
”Please feel free to ask any questions, and either Hide or me we will elaborate to you more.”
We looked at their sketchpad and saw all the information that was clearly stated and some drawings of cartoon characters that looked like Doraemon and Godzillas, Naruto and DragonballZ characters.
Do you know in Psychology, those who doddles in class or meetings seem to have more acute attention to the subject discussed at hand than those who wrote all the information down in their books?
I told both Hide and Toshi that everything is understood. The staffs were now making crate boxes to pack the 600 [Refined Iron] plates, Kurin and Feroa Kurina Detergent and work are in progress for the packing of the Karada Soap.
Later tonight there would be a delivery of 3,000 [Refined Iron] plates and would be packed the next following day. Hiko-sama and I praised them about using codes in their messages so at least we knew how many plates the Blacksmith had ordered and how many batches need to be sent.
I told them to wait another day or two and they can deliver the whole batch to the Blacksmith one time. The guys' eyes lit up upon hearing it and said that the total weight would be near a ton.
Toshi suggests we pack 100 pieces each for the Blacksmith at least the load for the wagon would be 300 kilograms. To travel such a short distance would require only 1 pony.
But in the case for a longer distance like Yonezawa, it would require 2 ponies and 3 ponies for Shibata.
I thanked Hide and Toshi for their explanation and to take the rest of the day off and to report here tomorrow after lunch and prepare to move out to. At least they have a proper rest when they start the journey back to Aizuwakamatsu to deliver the first 100 pieces to the group of Blacksmith there.
I called out to the guard to summon one of the delivery boys and soon he came running to me. I asked how were the crate boxes and he said that they had made more than enough crate boxes to store the current items and had made several more.
I told him to prepare 50 extra crate boxes for there's an incoming stock of 3,000 more [Refined Iron] plates. Then before he returned to his tasks, I made a note to place an order of 36 barrels of coconut and olive oil and 36 bags of baking powder and lye.
I gave instructions to him that the delivery would be made tomorrow morning after 8 am and the goods should be placed on the elevated staging area on pallets. The pallets would be arranged in such a way that there is an empty pallet in between of each goods. I made another note that we would be meeting the machinist and his nephew tonight for dinner and sent both notes for the delivery boy to send. He nodded and proceeded to send the notes first.
I looked at the sketchpad and began to write for the following plans tonight
1. Knock out all plates
2. Bring back 9 batches of karada soap
3. Send back empty mould trays
4. Make 4,000 plates
5. Dismantle one blender and sketch
6. Loan horse and wagon
7. Get rocket stove and wok and spatula
8. R&D blender design
9. Send first 1,500 plates to Aizuwakamatsu
10. Use 300 to sign the deal for the shop.
11. Transfer 7,200 gold coins to Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha.
I informed Hiko-sama that we are going to meet Mesen and his nephew tonight for dinner to discuss the blueprint and the costs. Then I passed him the sketchpad and his eyes widened as there is still more work to be done at this time. I laughed and told him that's the way it is for the two of us.
We walked into the warehouse and the girls had finished their work and were waiting at the long table for further instructions. I looked at the finished products and was happy that the girls had done a good job.
Since the girls worked overtime without pay last night, I told the girls to take a rest for the remaining part of the day. I thanked them and they thanked me back. I looked at their work and seemed that they had wrapped Karada Soap accordingly, had stamped the scent as well as stacked the finished product properly.
This would be packed into 50s inside the crate boxes and lined with hay. Once everything is complete a count would be made and an entry in the ledger book be made for each specific product.
I went to see the storekeeper and he showed me the books if he had made any mistakes. Since the plates are heavy, they were placed under the staging area. Furthermore, these had been placed in crates so a pallet with goods can be stacked on top of it to create more storage space.
They had packed 12 crates of [Refined Iron] of 50s each and fresh red stencilling were made in top and two sides of the crate. It showed just FJKRI. I checked the ledger for [Refined Iron] 50s incoming 12 and the date in the incoming section. Looks good. I checked the rest and everything is in accordance. He had made each book for each item and it is in order.
It was a wonder what a simple pleb can do with the right motivation and drive. The storekeeper asked what he should do if the Karada Soap does not meet the 50 quantity inside the crate. I replied to just leave the crate top open and wrote on a paper the quantity balance like for example if a shortage of 5 just writes (-5). He understood and told him to write the exact figure inside the entry.
