Although Liu Mei hasn't been out of the village much recently, she has heard that Xiang Baiwei has opened a new fruit processing workshop.

She also knew that the villagers were now trying every possible way to get more jam and the like from Xiang Baiwei.

Children in school would occasionally discuss the taste of the jam their parents bought during breaks.

Liu Mei looked at the row of glass jars in front of her with an unclear look in her eyes. Just when she was about to reach out with a spoon to scoop some to taste, suddenly another salesperson came out and screwed all the glass jars shut again.

Xu Xiuxiu, who was about to try something new, saw this and quickly said, "What's going on? We haven't tasted it yet, why did you take it away?"

The salesperson who came later scolded in a low voice: "You are not allowed to bring this to the front. Director Sun said that this is a welfare for us, for us to taste."

"Oh, I see. I made a mistake." The salesperson who invited them to taste the food looked annoyed, and then apologized to Liu Mei apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I made a mistake, but the person who made this will send a new batch this afternoon. If you like it, you can come back in the afternoon to buy it."

After such a boring mistake, Liu Mei's expression turned ugly: "No need, let's look at something else."

Xu Xiuxiu felt it was a pity that she failed to taste it, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "I almost tasted it. I was just curious about how delicious it was. Those kids loved it so much. But I heard that this thing seems to be eaten with bread. In this small place, does anyone eat bread?"

"You can fry steamed bread slices or slice and toast steamed bread and spread it on it." Liu Mei replied calmly, "But those children probably eat it as a snack. It's normal for children to like sweet food."

"I still prefer to put chili on steamed buns," Xu Xiuxiu said, but she was honest and kept looking back, staring at the bottles and jars in the hands of the two salesmen. "I'm really curious about what that stuff tastes like. It's so popular. Where did Xiang Baiwei learn these skills? I've never seen her so good before!"

Liu Mei has also been curious about this matter for a long time. She has a fairly reliable guess in her mind: "I think Jiang Sui loves reading and reads all kinds of books. I guess these are the books he found for Xiang Baiwei when he went to the provincial capital. She learned these skills from the books."

Xu Xiuxiu also felt that this guess made some sense: "I guess that's it. Xiang Baiwei is really lucky to marry such an excellent man. She must have used up all her luck in this life to get married, right?"

Liu Mei snorted coldly and didn't respond.

After buying what she needed at the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Mei prepared to go home.

Xu Xiuxiu wanted to wait a little longer. She was curious about the taste of those bottles and jars, so she wanted to wait until the afternoon and buy two bottles to try.

However, she and Liu Mei borrowed the car to come to the town, and they agreed to return the car before noon. Xu Xiuxiu wanted to go back on her word, but Liu Mei had been working hard to improve her reputation recently and would never tolerate such a small mistake.

"I've already promised them, so you can't go back on your word. Otherwise, you won't be able to borrow it in the future. If you like it, you can come back to buy it in a couple of days."

"But…"

"Don't say but, let's go."

…

On the country road, Xiang Baiwei was happily chatting with Jiang Sui.

Today's contract was signed very smoothly. She was so happy that she couldn't help but hum a song several times.

But because the songs she could hum had not yet appeared in this era, she could only endure it so as to avoid being noticed by Jiang Sui.

Xiang Baiwei was afraid that she would get carried away and sing a song she shouldn't sing, so she quickly changed the subject: "I won't sing anymore. I just remembered something. I wanted to ask you when I was in town just now, but I forgot."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Sui slowed down his pedaling and listened to Bai Wei.

"How come Director Sun is so easy to talk to all of a sudden? Last time we went to see him, his attitude wasn't this good," Xiang Baiwei recalled Director Sun's attitude when they signed the contract just now, and she felt as curious as if a cat was scratching her. "I thought he would think the terms of this contract were a bit harsh, but he agreed so readily. I was surprised for a while."

Jiang Sui smiled faintly and turned his head slightly. "Because before, the food made by the person who stole our business halfway was not only not delicious, but also made the children have diarrhea. Director Sun almost lost his job because of it. In comparison, our jam not only won the praise of the leaders above, but also the leader bought both kinds. The children at home can tell the difference. Even if we don't take the initiative to find him, Director Sun may find a way to continue to cooperate with us."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Because he still had to look at the road ahead, Jiang Sui only spoke roughly and didn't go into too much detail, but Xiang Baiwei was very smart and extracted important information from his words: "I guess, the child who had diarrhea is the leader's child, right?"

"You're so smart. You guessed it right right away." Jiang Sui smiled and praised her. "So even if the conditions of our contract today are a little more stringent, Director Sun will agree to sign it."

"Oh!" Xiang Baiwei patted Jiang Sui's back with some regret, "If you had known this would happen, why didn't you make the contract more demanding?"

Jiang Sui smiled and said, "When I was working on this contract, I was still a little unsure. I was afraid that I would ruin the deal for you. Now that I think about Director Sun's attitude, I do feel a little regretful."

"It's no use regretting! The contract has already been signed," Xiang Baiwei muttered, and then smiled cheerfully, "But this result is pretty good now. I'm very satisfied with the terms of the contract. If it were too harsh, it might not be a good thing."

"That's true. After all, it's just a supply and marketing cooperative in the town. The villagers have limited spending power. Once we open up sales channels in the provincial capital..."

Jiang Sui didn't continue talking, but Xiang Baiwei understood what he meant and nodded slightly.

Yes, if you only do business in town, you can only make a small amount of money.

If you want to build a career, you still have to focus on big cities.

At present, the provincial capital is Xiang Baiwei's current target. Although Xiangjiazhuang is not far from the provincial capital, it is not easy to open up sales channels in the provincial capital.

Even though Jiang Sui said there were classmates who could help, she still had to walk the future path on her own.

The other side.

After Liu Mei returned the car, she walked towards her residence with Xu Xiuxiu.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard laughter and noise coming from the house.
