Xiang Baiwei was very satisfied with this: "This is the right reaction. Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. In the future, they will like the jam produced in my small workshop more."

"You are really not modest at all." Jiang Sui shook his head helplessly, "Humility makes people progress, do you understand?"

"I'm very modest outside, but only in front of you. I'm in a good mood and just want to tell you the truth." Xiang Baiwei smiled and took out a bag of specially made dried hawthorn from the iron box on the table. "I see that you haven't had a good appetite recently. Dried hawthorn can stimulate your appetite and strengthen your spleen, so I made some for you. You can have a few slices when you have nothing to do."

Jiang Sui took the paper bag and pinched it with mixed feelings: "Did you make this especially for me?"

"What? You don't believe it?" Xiang Baiwei rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "I've already told you that it was made especially for you. Why do you have to ask two more questions?"

"Nothing, just a little excited." Jiang Sui opened the paper package, took out a piece from it and put it in his mouth.

"Ouch! My teeth are about to become sore." Jiang Sui said with a smile in his voice, deliberately complaining in a low voice.

Xiang Baiwei, who was standing next to him, had sharp ears. As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand, with her white, calloused palm facing upwards: "I made this for you out of kindness, but you are so ungrateful. You should just give it back to me."

"That won't do. How can I take something back after giving it away?" Jiang Sui quickly and carefully sealed the paper package again, and then put it aside as if protecting a treasure. "It's already been given to me, don't even think about taking it away."

Xiang Baiwei snorted softly: "I just said that, and you got scared."

"Yes, it's good that you know I'm timid. Don't scare me like this again in the future." Jiang Sui took the opportunity to tease Bai Wei.

"Jiang Sui, you are becoming more and more slick."

After laughing and joking for a while, the two of them continued to talk about the business of the fruit processing workshop.

"Weiwei, what are you going to do next?"

Xiang Baiwei touched her chin and said, "The fruit processing workshop is quite special. If we only focus on this village, we probably won't be able to do much business. My cousin, the one I took you to meet when we just got married, knows a lot of people. I plan to give her some and ask her to use it to help me promote the business."

"Then you can make more." Jiang Sui held the pencil lightly in his hand and looked out the window thoughtfully. "I think the kids like it very much."

Jiang Sui works in a school and has more opportunities to interact with children. Xiang Baiwei curiously asked him: "By the way, can you tell me again, what do those children think of the jams and preserved fruits I made?"

"I like it very much. I like it very much." Jiang Sui looked at Xiang Baiwei intently, but he seemed to have some hidden meaning.

Xiang Baiwei felt a little uncomfortable: "Come on, tell me. Why are you keeping me in suspense again?"

"I'm not keeping you in suspense," Jiang Sui said in defense, "Didn't you notice that there are a lot of kids running to your fruit processing workshop these past few days?"

Xiang Baiwei recalled and shook her head gently: "I really didn't notice it. I've been adjusting the production plan and changing the strategy recently. I really didn't pay attention to what was going on outside the workshop."

"Those kids wanted more after finishing their meal and planned to come to you to ask for two more jars, but they were stopped by the people working in your workshop." Jiang Sui said with a helpless smile, "Also, those who have children now dare not bring them past the door of your workshop, for fear that they will suddenly make a scene and ask for jam."

"I made the food delicious," Xiang Baiwei said confidently, "It's not my fault, right?"

"Of course it's not your fault. I just said it out loud to make you happy. Are you happy to hear such a reaction?"

"Of course I'm happy. This is a recognition of my craftsmanship." Xiang Baiwei flipped through the book happily. Her dream was to become famous like those branded products.

When I arrived at my cousin's house, I found a bunch of children gathered there.

Xiang Baiwei looked at these unfamiliar children and understood after asking a few questions.

It turns out that the children from my cousin's family are the kings of the children, and all the children from the surrounding villages are here.

Jiang Sui handed the bag of jam in the smaller bottle to Xiang Baiwei: "Do you want to share this with these children?"

"You actually guessed what I was thinking?" Xiang Baiwei showed surprise on her face as she took the small cloth bag. "I heard that my cousin's child has made good progress in his studies recently. I wanted to give him the jam so that he could share it with his classmates. But today was a coincidence and there happened to be so many children playing outside his house."

A group of children surrounded Xiang Baiwei, and after receiving their own portion of jam, they couldn't help but eat it immediately.

Xiang Baiwei quickly spoke up to stop them: "You are all covered in dirt and mud after playing with them. Don't eat it now. Take it home and eat it with your family in the evening."

There was a child in his teens who didn't listen to what Xiang Baiwei said at all and stubbornly unscrewed the lid: "This bottle is so small, if I take it home, I guess I can only taste one sip."

"So are you going to keep this bottle for yourself now?" Xiang Baiwei looked at him with a smile.

The young boy shook his head. "No, I'll take a bite to taste it first, and then twist it tightly. This way, I can have an extra bite when I get home."

Xiang Baiwei turned her head to look at the serious little boy and couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart.

Material scarcity was so severe in this day and age, so she had to open the factory as soon as possible so that the children around here could enjoy the benefits and protection she provided as early as possible.

Of course, the premise of all this is that your business can really be done well.

However, Xiang Baiwei was not very sure about this.

Jiang Sui came over and put a hand on her shoulder: "What are you thinking about? You look upset. Weren't you fine just now? You were talking and laughing with these kids."

"I was distracted accidentally, it's okay." Xiang Baiwei smiled and shook her head, then turned back to sit and chat with her cousin.

About three days after returning from my cousin's house, several groups of villagers went to the processing workshop, all to inquire about buying things.

He said that both the children and adults in the family love to eat this, so he wanted to buy some to take home as a snack.

There aren't many delicious desserts these days, and it's rare to see one, especially one so close to home. Most importantly, it tastes really good.

And at this moment, Jiang Sui gave Xiang Baiwei a new idea.

That is because some villagers are short of money and it is difficult for them to spend money to buy jams and the like.

Jiang Sui suggested that Xiang Baiwei could put up a notice at the door, saying that freshly picked fruits could be exchanged for ready-made jams and preserves.
