Shreeji Ice Factory

Down here on Sasan Road in Mendarada, life moves at its own pace. Shreeji Ice Factory is right on the main path for people heading out toward the wildlife areas. We aren't a big corporation, just a local plant making ice for the community and the travelers who pass through. Most of the day is spent checking the molds and the brine tanks to make sure everything is freezing right. It’s a lot of physical labor, dragging the heavy blocks and getting them onto the platforms for pickup. The road outside can get pretty dusty, especially when the big trucks go by during the harvest season. We have a small staff and we all just pitch in where it's needed, whether it's fixing a leak or loading a van. Sometimes the water pressure isn't great, which makes the work take a lot longer than it should. We don't have a fancy waiting room or any air conditioning in the office. If you come by, you’ll probably see us in our work clothes, covered in a bit of frost or water. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until evening. The locals know where we are, and we provide ice for the shops and the fishing crates. It’s not a complicated business model at all. We just freeze water and sell it to whoever needs it. On the hot days, the machinery has to work overtime, and we have to keep a close eye on it.
