Chapter 52: Will you find a son-in-law at home?

The villagers pointed and said, "It's the most bustling and crowded place at the door."

I thought to myself, what a great guy, has he even driven out a horse-drawn carriage to sell wild pears? Whose village is so well-off that they can even use a horse-drawn carriage...

Now that I can catch up with the carriage, do I still need a few dozen or a hundred coins?

Everyone came to see what was new.

As a result, a group of people in long robes got off the carriage. They were obviously people of status and did not look like peasants at all. They must be nobles.

Those who had good eyesight quickly went to inform Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu heard the noise and came out to see that the person leading the group was the shopkeeper Lin from Lin's Shop in Shili Town, and there were two people following behind him.

These two people should be of more noble status, and Manager Lin nodded and bowed to them.

Jiang Lianzhu welcomed them into the house.

Shopkeeper Lin introduced himself as the manager of Lin's Dim Sum Shop in Shamen County and Shopkeeper Lin's immediate superior.

Jiang Lianzhu greeted them, and Dabao calmly came up with tea and poured it for everyone. The little guy was also curious about who it was.

"Is that the autumn pear paste made by you, my young lady?"

"Exactly."

Manager Lin looked around the room and said, "It's not simple! Where did you get this recipe? Can you tell me?"

"Of course it's a secret. I wonder what brings you all here from afar? If you're here to ask for my opinion on the recipe, forget it. I won't sell it." Jiang Lianzhu said firmly.

Manager Lin laughed heartily. "I do have that intention, but I won't force it. If you really don't want to sell it, let's take a look at the production environment and process of the Autumn Pear Paste. What is it made of and where is it made? We are very interested in this Autumn Pear Paste. As a major buyer, it's not too much for us to come and learn more about it, right?"

"This is not too much." Jiang Lianzhu resolved the crisis.

It is appropriate for buyers to take a look at the production environment of the product and check the health permits and so on.

Jiang Lianzhu was not afraid of them seeing her.

She invited so many people, and the first thing she required was cleanliness. All the peeled pear peels were taken away that day, either thrown into the mountains or used to fertilize the fields, but not thrown around her house to attract flies.

All pears must be washed and peeled, and all utensils must be cleaned every morning and evening without leaving any residue.

The grocery room where the finished products of autumn pear paste are stored is neatly arranged.

Jiang Lianzhu was thinking about moving the wolf cub to a new place for the next few days, raising it in the pigpen behind the house.

I took Manager Lin and the others to visit the production process and environment of Qiuli Paste.

Manager Lin and his team were quite satisfied.

"I never thought you were so young and so capable. This business of yours is a gift from God. We can't take these spring water and wild pears with us. Okay, I'll go back and report to the higher-ups. Don't worry."

Before leaving, Manager Lin asked Jiang Lianzhu, "What's your maximum daily output? Your autumn pear paste is selling well in the provincial capital. We plan to distribute it to other major cities, and we hope to produce as much as possible."

Jiang Lianzhu was in a dilemma. "So far, the maximum daily quantity is about 700 kilograms. Any more and I can't handle it alone. There are also many wild pears in the mountains, but they are limited."

This business is not expected to last for many years. If everyone can eat autumn pear paste, a great doctor will know what the medicinal ingredients are after just one taste.

By then, she won't be able to maintain the monopoly for long.

It would be pretty good to make money this year.

Manager Lin made the decision, "Then we'll produce 700 kilograms per day. We'll send people to haul it! How many days' supply can we get?"

"About twenty days!"

"OK!"

So the decision was made very readily.

The specific details were discussed and a new agreement was signed.

Before leaving, they took away the 1,000 kilograms of autumn pear paste they had ordered earlier, and Manager Lin paid the balance.

After paying another two hundred taels of deposit, Jiang Lianzhu received more than three hundred taels of silver.

Dabao was so excited that he secretly clenched his fists.

Sixty acres of land!

After seeing off Manager Lin and his group, the villagers came over to ask what these people were doing.

When the villagers learned that it was the big boss from the county town who came to order a large amount of autumn pear paste, they all cheered excitedly.

As long as Jiang Lianzhu has business and someone wants autumn pear paste, they will bring broth to drink.

Everyone was telling each other the news, and the excitement was no less than that of the New Year.

Maintaining this income, a family could earn 500 wen a day, which would be 5 liang of silver in 10 days, and 10 liang of silver in 20 days. What kind of work could earn so much money? The whole family would never have to worry about food and drink for a whole year! Hehe.

Many people were discussing it happily in private.

"This year was a disaster year. There were very few grains of grain harvested from the fields. I thought we would definitely starve next year. But now, there's hope. Not only will we not starve to death, we may even have a good life."

"That's right. What's the difference between this and money falling from the sky? In my opinion, if we cut down all those useless trees in the mountains and plant pear trees instead, they will produce more pears to sell in the future. Isn't that better than just growing weeds?"

"What's the point of a widow like Jiang earning so much money? Will she find a son-in-law or something? My mother's family has a nephew who is a year or two younger than Jiang. He is very capable. If I go and tell Jiang about it, will she be happy?"

"What are you thinking? I'm glad I let you have some meat soup, but you're planning to take all my wealth? Calm down, you're living too comfortably on 150 coins a day..."

There are all kinds of sounds.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't care and didn't take it to heart.

When she does things, she just wants to have a clear conscience, and other gossip has no effect on her.

As long as it's not directed at her with naked malice, she will turn a blind eye.

Jiang Lianzhu handed over three hundred taels of silver to Dabao and whispered, "Go, put it there. Mother is going out to do something."

Dabao understood.

Go into the room, close the door, and climb onto the kang.

After entering the house, his adult-like expression relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth turned up with a smile and a look of satisfaction.

My mother just casually handed him several hundred taels of silver notes. How much she trusts him!

If this had happened before, he would never have dared to think about it. But now his mother seemed to really treat them as her own children, and was not partial to any of them. She was good to all of them. He would accept such a mother even if she was a water ghost.

…

Jiang Lianzhu had just returned to the kitchen and had not been working for long when she heard movement outside again.

What's going on?

Did the people from the Lin family shop come back? Did they forget to finish what they had left unsaid?

After listening carefully, it turned out that they were not from Linjiapu!

"What's going on? What's Wang Laosi doing here? He's covered in blood and tied up, so creepy!"

"Didn't they have a falling out? Why are they still here?"
