Sylvia Reine visited her factory. Such a wonderful sight! No, wait, such a wonderful sound. The sound of machines working. The sound of things being done. The sound of profits being made.

And indeed there were, for once again, Sylvia Reine had beaten her counterparts. The ones that had looked down on her for so long.

But now she had the last laugh. She could sell sawdust to people, and still turn a riotous profit.

And indeed she was!

The WunderLoaf! She had hit the jackpot on this one!

Crushed wheat was brought in from Ilin, where it was dirt cheap. Perhaps some Barley. Sylvia didn't really know - the supplier wasn't overly concerned with quality. That was good, because Sylvia wasn't concerned either!

To increase the amount of profit, she mixed in sawdust with the barley and wheatflower mixture. at a 10% rate, nobody could taste the difference. At a 20% rate, very few people could.

Sylvia had it pushed all the way up to 40% Sawdust. She nearly doubled the amount of bread she could make, outproducing all the competitors! She watched, as the sawdust was mixed in. She watched the factory floor.

And now for the special part:

Sugar.

Sugar from the plantations she had owned. How's that for diversification? From being the Moguless of Haver River Transport, to a Sugar Baronness, to a Large-scale manufacturer, to the inventor of WunderLoaf - it was strokes of genius like this that put Sylvia Reine on the fast track to being bigger than the old cripple Limoen himself!

Sugar made the stupid masses never stop eating the WunderLoaf. Sugar was what kept them eating it, even when they knew of the "secret ingredient." They mixed in enough sugar to sweeten it just enough to get people addicted. As it had done many times in Glimmerite History, Sugar equals Profit.

And that wasn't all!

She had also come up with the idea to package the bread pre-sliced. Pre-sliced bread! No longer did people have to get out a knife to eat bread, they simply had to buy Sylvia Reine's patented WunderLoaf!

Her factories would be able to make 100 loaves of WunderLoaf a minute - she would be able to outpace all her competitors. And at 40% sawdust, well, it had to keep for a good amount of time.

40% Sawdust, 8% Sugar, 45% Flour, and 7% Additives. Sounds like a recipe for profit to me!

[M]: Year is 960. Glimmer invents WonderBread, and also Sliced Bread. Take that, commies!

Also, this is the sixth post I have made in a 6 hour span. I have taken the reward for most-posts-in-one-week, and also the reward for most-posts-in-a-single-day. I'm gonna sleep now.
