Many fruits simply rot on the ground after they ripen.
She immediately took out modern preservatives and packaging materials from her space, taught the fruit farmers how to preserve fruit, and even formed her own transportation team.
They used horse-drawn carriages and tricycles to transport the fruit to other counties for sale.
At the same time, Shen Qingtang also opened a fruit processing plant, which processes fresh fruit into products such as jam, dried fruit, and juice, which not only extends the shelf life of the fruit but also increases its added value.
Seeing that growing fruit could earn more money, the fruit farmers were all willing to cooperate with Shen Qingtang.
Shen Qingtang's business grew bigger and bigger, and he soon became the largest fruit distributor in Xiangguo County and even the surrounding areas, earning the love and respect of the people.
Throughout this process, Pei Wuwang silently supported Shen Qingtang, helping her manage her network and handle troubles.
Pei Nian'an also became more and more dependent on Shen Qingtang, calling her "Auntie" repeatedly, and often showing her her paintings.
Looking at the people around her, Shen Qingtang felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Although the world was full of dangers and unknowns, as long as they were there, she had the courage to keep going.
The land suddenly turned into a vast ocean. Although the people of Wanghai County were surprised, they quickly accepted the reality.
After all, they've relied on the sea for generations; it's just a change in how they live.
The exiles and their officials were completely panicked. The head constable, Zhang, stared at the boundless sea before him, pacing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof.
"What are we going to do? What are we going to do?" He grabbed his hair, his voice trembling. "We're exiled prisoners, we don't have a boat, how are we going to cross the sea? Are we going to be trapped here and die?"
"Yes, yes!" the other officers chimed in, "This godforsaken place doesn't even have a decent fishing boat, let alone a large ship that can carry so many people!"
"How about... we ask Shen Qingtang for help?" someone suggested in a low voice. "Isn't she a 'goddess'? Maybe she has a way."
These words reminded Zhang, the head constable, who immediately led several officers and rushed to Shen Qingtang's seafood restaurant.
As soon as he entered, he knelt down with a thud: "Shen Qingtang! Please save us! We have no boat and can't cross the sea. You are all-powerful, you must have a way!"
Shen Qingtang looked at them, already having a plan in mind. During this time, she had helped the people improve the saline-alkali land and led them to overthrow the landlords and local bullies who monopolized the market.
It has enabled many people to have jobs, and their lives are getting better and better.
She could clearly feel that her merits had increased significantly, and the space had become larger.
She has been pondering what the opportunity might be to regain her modern memories, or even to go back in time.
Perhaps it's about continuously accumulating merit and helping more people.
"I'm afraid I can't help you either," Shen Qingtang said, feigning difficulty. "Although I have a 'divine object,' I don't have a boat."
Upon hearing this, Zhang and his men were filled with despair.
Just then, Shen Qingtang changed the subject: "However, I do know a small island with boats. It's just a bit far, and there might be dangers along the way."
"A boat is good! A boat is good!" Constable Zhang was overjoyed. "We're not afraid of any danger! As long as we can cross the sea!"
Shen Qingtang nodded and pulled out a large assault boat that she had bought when she was stockpiling goods.
