It is said that some jams and preserved fruits are to be made.
The villagers, who normally only spend money on such things during the Chinese New Year, are not optimistic about this.
They thought Xiang Baiwei was a little too idealistic.
If this kind of workshop was opened in the city, perhaps it could be sold.
But in the village, who would she sell to? Who would have the spare money to buy such snacks?
Money doesn't come from the wind, and farm work is so hard, so the villagers are certainly reluctant to spend money to buy this kind of food.
So, under the woods where people were enjoying the cool air at Xiangjiazhuang at noon, they started a new topic.
The focus of the topic was Xiang Baiwei and her newly opened workshop.
Some kind-hearted villagers, out of kindness, found Xiang Laogen and his wife and earnestly persuaded them to take some time to visit their daughter.
After learning the whole story, Wang Chunhua went to her daughter and son-in-law's house that night.
When she arrived, Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui were having dinner.
Seeing her coming, Xiang Baiwei, who was in a good mood, greeted her warmly and said, "Mom, you're here just in time. We stewed pork ribs at home today. They're just done."
Jiang Sui on the side quickly added a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Wang Chunhua took a look at the meat on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that my daughter is not suffering here, which is good.
But then she remembered the purpose of her coming here today: "I'm not here for your dinner today. I've already eaten at home. Please sit down and talk while you eat. Eating won't interfere with my talking."
Xiang Baiwei looked at her rare serious look and her brain quickly filtered through what she had done recently.
But she still couldn't guess why Wang Chunhua came to see her today.
Maybe he is here to find Jiang Sui.
Thinking of this, she picked up chopsticks and started eating the meat.
As soon as the meat entered his mouth, Wang Chunhua looked at her and said, "I heard that you are going to build a fruit processing workshop next to the grain workshop?"
"It's not really fruit processing," Xiang Baiwei swallowed the meat in her mouth and shook her head gently, "I just make some jams and dried fruits, things that everyone can afford. I also made some before and sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative, and they sold quite well."
"Then continue to make them and send them to the supply and marketing cooperative!" Wang Chunhua couldn't help but feel anxious, "Why did you open another workshop? One workshop is not enough for you to earn? If you open another one, do you think you can handle it?"
"It's okay." Xiang Baiwei didn't think there was anything wrong, because the space promised her that after she completed her next task and reached a certain level, she could unlock another orchard.
If this continues, Xiang Baiwei feels that she will be able to make a lot of money soon.
Wang Chunhua saw that she was still so calm and became very anxious: "You silly girl, you are so confused! Do you see anyone in our village like to eat those things you mentioned?"
Wang Chunhua couldn't say anything to her, so she turned to look at Jiang Sui: "You are the principal, you have a high level of education, you come and talk to her, you have to be down-to-earth to make money, you can't just do whatever you want, the grain workshop is fine, it has been made, but the fruit processing factory, that is not an ordinary thing!"
Xiang Baiwei stared at Jiang Sui with her round eyes, wanting to see how he would react.
Jiang Sui put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, Weiwei and I have discussed the matter of the fruit processing factory. We both think it's a good idea. In addition, I was the one who came up with the idea in the beginning. You... don't be mean to her."
"You," Wang Chunhua didn't expect that this idea was actually from Jiang Sui. She sighed, "You are still young. I know you have a lot of ideas in your mind, which is a good thing, but no matter how many ideas you have, you have to take reality into consideration. Xiangjia Village is not a rich place, and there are not many rich families around here. If you come up with it, who are you going to sell it to?"
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this," Xiang Baiwei stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth, "Jiang Sui has taken all of this into consideration. He will find a way to sell it."
At this point, Wang Chunhua understood that the young couple had made up their minds to open a fruit processing workshop.
If I continue to talk about it, it will just seem redundant.
"Okay then, since you two have your own ideas, I won't say any more. You guys continue eating. It's getting late and I should go home." Wang Chunhua said as she stood up and prepared to go home.
The young couple quickly stopped her: "How can you leave so soon? Eat something. This meat is delicious."
"That's right, mother. This is made by your son-in-law Jiang Sui himself. It's delicious and different from your previous recipe. Would you like to try it together?"
Wang Chunhua looked at the couple who seemed to be in a good relationship and shook her head, "You guys eat. I just had dinner and I'm still full. Besides, your father is waiting for me at home. Let's go."
When Wang Chunhua got home, Xiang Laogen, who was enjoying the cool in the yard, saw her coming back and asked, "How was it?"
"It's a wasted trip. I'll tell you after I finish drinking the water." Wang Chunhua took the water gourd, unscrewed the lid, and gulped the water into her mouth.
On the way back, she walked a little fast and was now very thirsty, both hot and thirsty.
"Why is it a wasted trip?" Xiang Laogen was a little confused. "Our daughter and son-in-law are not the kind of people who don't listen to advice. Is there something wrong with the way you say it?"
"It's no use saying anything. The young couple has been planning to set up this workshop for a long time and they are determined to do it."
As the old couple was talking, their three sons came back from outside.
The eldest one in the front, Xiang Weiguo, heard everything. He unbuttoned his coat and said, "Mom, did you go to your sister and brother-in-law's house to persuade them not to run the fruit processing workshop?"
"Yes, I heard from several villagers these days that this fruit processing workshop is not doing well." Wang Chunhua said and remembered something, "Did you three know what your sister and brother-in-law wanted to do?"
Xiang Weiguo picked up a palm leaf fan and fanned himself: "I guessed a little, but I didn't ask much. My brother-in-law is so educated, and my sister is a bold and daring person. Mother, I think your worry is unnecessary."
"But I'm still a little worried." Wang Chunhua was worried, "Who would buy things made in this kind of workshop? But your brother-in-law said he has a way to sell them."
"Since he said so, you don't have to worry." Xiang Weiguo fanned him twice, "My sister's wife has a wide network of contacts and knows a lot of people. She will definitely be able to handle this matter. You two elders, stop listening to the nonsense of those people in the village."
