A few people took some time out to gather at Bai Xiaohua's parents' home in the evening and counted the money they had earned that day. They had prepared a total of fifty bowls of jelly today, all of which were sold out. Because most of the jelly sold was not mixed, they only made a little over four yuan in the end.
After checking the money, everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect to make so much money today. The three of them took a share each, and the rest was to be used to pay Bai Xiaohua's brother and sister-in-law, and to buy some necessary things. The three sisters-in-law were the original shareholders, and Bai Xiaohua's brother and sister-in-law were their employees, and they were paid on time every month.
In the following days, Bai Xiaohua and her two sisters-in-law took turns going to the county town to sell jelly every morning. Bai Xiaohua's siblings went to the mountains to pick acorns, and then went home to continue making jelly. In the afternoon, the two of them went out to sell it again.
The three sisters-in-law would go up the mountain to pick chestnuts after finishing their housework. Wu Dejun and his three brothers would also help Bai Xiaohua after seeing the money. When they went up the mountain to chop firewood, they would bring down some acorns. Sometimes, when they were too busy with housework, they would lend a hand. When Lin Meishuang got suspicious, they would help the other wives smooth things over.
As the family kept the matter secret, it was not discovered until quite a long time later.
Sometimes, after Bai Xiaohua and her friends finished selling jelly in the county town, they would deliberately leave two bowls of it. On the way back, they would stop by Tian Tian's house and give the leftover jelly to Tian Tian and her friends.
Tian Tian was very happy to see their jelly. Although she was provided with the method of making jelly, she had never made it before so she only had a vague idea of the method. She didn't expect that they would actually figure out the method and even make it quite well. She took a bite and it tasted very good.
Although she had never tasted what real acorn jelly tasted like, the taste was enough to amaze her. Even someone like Tian Tian who had eaten food with all kinds of additives would be amazed, which shows how good this jelly tastes.
When Bai Xiaohua heard what Tian Tian said, they were also very happy.
If they had heard Tian Tian's words before they started selling jelly, they might not have believed it. But now that they are really making money, they realize what a good business this is. It requires no capital and can still make money. Although it is a little troublesome to do, it is not a big deal for them.
"It's a pity that when the weather gets cold in a while, I'm afraid no one will want to eat jelly." Bai Xiaohua said with some regret.
This is indeed a problem. Now that the weather is cooler, this jelly tastes cool and filling, and many people love it.
But when the weather gets cold, not everyone will buy it. After all, this thing tastes cold, and everyone prefers to eat hot food in the winter.
Tian Tian listened thoughtfully, "That's fine. We can teach them another way to eat it. Let them take it home and put it in hot water to cook, or you can make a pot of chicken soup yourself. Put this thing in the chicken soup and eat it, it will also be warm. It's the same."
This jelly reminded Tian Tian of the fried dumplings she had eaten in her previous life. Although most of the dumplings were fried on an iron plate until they were crispy and then topped with sesame paste, there were also many dumplings that were soaked in soup made with sesame paste, and the taste was just as good.
For example, this jelly can be prepared in the same way as stewed rice. Choose a delicious soup and soak the jelly in the soup. You can eat it in winter as well.
Bai Xiaohua hadn't thought of this yet. Her eyes lit up after hearing what Tian Tian said. "That's why they say that people with education have better brains. We've been worrying about this for days, but after Tian Tian said this, my mom knew what to do. She's really a college student!"
Tian Tian felt a little ashamed when she heard what she said. This actually had nothing to do with whether she was a college student or not. She was just standing on the shoulders of her predecessors and giving advice to future generations. "
Bai Xiaohua and the others wrote down everything Tian Tian said, and planned to go back and discuss it with everyone to see if this could work.
In fact, as Tian Tian said, making chicken soup is also a good idea.
People in the county town may not be willing to spend money to buy chickens to make chicken soup just for the stew, but they can. Wu Juan is a chicken farmer. They can buy some chickens from Wu Juan cheaply, and then make a big pot of chicken soup to sell for the stew.
Although the price of the chicken is a bit higher, you can make many pots of soup with it.
When the time comes, if you distribute them bowl by bowl, it won’t cost much money.
The only thing is that their home is quite far from the county town, and the chicken soup might have gotten cold before they get to the county town.
And it's not just about the chicken soup. In fact, they spend most of their time on the road. When they go there, they usually take a bus. Although it costs a little more, it's faster and they can deliver the acorn jelly to the county town and sell it earlier, which is quite cost-effective.
But it would take them three hours, almost four hours to get back, and that was when the weather was warm. If it was colder, it would take them even longer.
By then they will definitely have even less time to sell things, so they have been worrying about this recently.
"What's the big deal? Sister Tian Yun from our team is a good example. She used to make chestnuts in our team and then send them to the city to sell. Later, she simply rented a house in the city. This is faster and can ensure that the food tastes the best when it is sold. You can also learn from Sister Lili." Tian Tian thought it was no big deal.
"If you want to live closer, you can rent a house in the county town. If you think renting a house in the county town is too expensive, you can rent a house in the countryside. It doesn't have to be too far, you can just rent a house in the countryside around the county town." Tian Tian gave them advice.
"Let's wait until the weather gets colder."
Bai Xiaohua and the others were still a little hesitant, because the money they were earning now was really too little. If they rented another house, they would probably have to spend all their current earnings. They had worked so hard to save up such a small amount of money, and they simply couldn't bear to do it.
Especially now that there are more and more people doing business in the county town, housing prices are inevitably rising. It has become more difficult to find a house with a suitable size and location.
