Seeing loquat paste on the shelves at Taoyuan Store, everyone rushed to place orders.
With the good reputation of Taoyuan brand, many old customers bought them in batches of 10 or 20 cans. In a short while, the 300 cans of loquat paste that Xia Shige put on the shelves were sold out.
With 45 million in cash, it can buy a lot of gasoline and diesel. Xia Shige and Bai Mao rolled up their sleeves and prepared to pack and ship!

Xu Yilan got up at six o'clock today.
She poured a bucket of water and prepared to clean every room in the villa, and then clean out the volcanic ash accumulated in the yard.
It turned out to be nothing special. Lu Siming was going to bring Zhou Mei to his house for dinner today.
The first time she met her future daughter-in-law, Xu Yilan was a little nervous.
She worked from six in the morning until eight, and was exhausted and out of breath, but she still hadn't finished cleaning.
This villa is really too big. Xu Yilan wiped the sweat off her face and thought, it would be great if she could sell it and buy an ordinary house.
At eight o'clock, Lu Siyuan, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and walked downstairs. Seeing Xu Yilan lying on the ground scrubbing the floor, he frowned and asked, "Mom, what are you busy with so early in the morning... Where is my breakfast? I'm hungry!"
When Xu Yilan saw her youngest son get up, she looked up at the time and hurried to the kitchen to cook him a bowl of noodles.
Xu Yilan brought out the noodles and handed them to Lu Siyuan, urging him: "Eat quickly, and go back to your room after you finish. Your eldest brother will bring your eldest sister-in-law to eat at noon, so you stay in your room and don't come out! Did you hear me?"
Because of what Lu Siyuan had done before, Zhou Mei had always been dissatisfied with Lu Siyuan, so Lu Siming had specifically instructed that Zhou Mei must not be allowed to see Lu Siyuan today, in order to avoid getting Zhou Mei angry.
Lu Siyuan looked at the bowl of watery noodles with some disdain. It contained some shredded carrots and onions, both of which he hated, but he also knew that he had no other choice and could only frown and take the bowl.
Hearing Xu Yilan say this, Lu Siyuan said angrily: "Mom, she is the one who wants to marry into our family. Not only does she not think about how to please me, her brother-in-law, but she even dares to despise me?! Mom, I don't want a sister-in-law like this!"
Xu Yilan sighed inwardly when she heard this. If it were still before the natural disaster and they were still the wealthy Lu family, how could she be interested in a daughter-in-law like Zhou Mei?
But what time is it now? The Lu family is poorer than their faces, and they all rely on Lu Siming's salary and employee benefits to make a living.
Now that Lu Siming has been demoted, his salary and benefits have become worse. Xu Yilan is really afraid that her daughter-in-law Zhou Mei will run away.
Xu Yilan could only say to Lu Siyuan: "You kid! Isn't it all your fault? If you weren't so impulsive and took out a knife to chop people, how could your brother be demoted? It's only right that your sister-in-law blames you now!"
Lu Siyuan felt extremely aggrieved when he heard this.
Before leaving that day, he said he didn't want to go, but was dragged there by his parents.
He taught Xia Shige a lesson to vent his parents' anger, but now his mother blames all the mistakes on him.
Seeing her beloved youngest son looking aggrieved, Xu Yilan could only change her tone and comfort him softly: "Okay, son, when your eldest sister-in-law Shunxuan marries, won't she still have to take care of you, her younger brother? Now that she hasn't married yet, you just have to be patient. Stay in your room for the whole day and be obedient."
Upon hearing this, Lu Siyuan could only nod helplessly. He finished the bowl of noodle soup in no time, put the bowl on the table, and went back to the room.
Xu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Siyuan cooperating.
Seeing that it was getting late, she prepared breakfast for Lu Bo and brought it to the small living room outside Lu Bo's bedroom. Then she went downstairs to continue cleaning the villa.
At ten o'clock, Xu Yilan finally finished cleaning up the volcanic ash in the yard. She simply washed up and prepared to make lunch.
Just then, the doorbell rang and Lu Sixue came in.
Lu Sixue was wearing an off-white dress with a sweater on her hands. She said to Xu Yilan, "Mom, I'm here."
Today is the first time Zhou Mei comes to have dinner at home. She has said that she wants to meet Lu Siming's family, especially his sister Lu Sixue, so Xu Yilan called Lu Sixue yesterday and asked her to go to the Lu family at noon today.
