Chapter 77: Canning Fruits
But no one expected that the moment they took a bite, they would be amazed by the taste.
"Delicious!" Several children wanted to eat more, but they were gone.
Almost everyone finished one piece, and the children smacked their lips with a hint of satisfaction.
"There will be more later. First, tell me, how does this thing taste?"
When Lin Xiuzhen asked this, several children began to chatter and express their opinions.
“Delicious, delicious! Super delicious!”
“So sweet!”
“I want more!”
The children just wanted to eat it, but the adults tasted different.
"How come this thing tastes better than the canned fruit sold at the supply and marketing cooperative? Where did you buy it?"
"Yeah, I also think it tastes better than the canned fruit I bought before!"
After they finished speaking, they all looked at Lin Xiuzhen, waiting for her answer!
Lin Xiuzhen finally revealed the answer after seeing how curious everyone was.
"I made this canned fruit myself, using the same fruits you gave me last time."
"When did the fruits on our mountain become so delicious?"
Old Mrs. Lin said subconsciously.
The others nodded as well. "Yes, we know the taste of wild fruits in the mountains. They are just average. If you want to tell me how delicious they are, I really haven't discovered it!"
However, some children who often went up the mountain to eat fruits said subconsciously: "Yes, the fruits are sour and not delicious. This one is sweet!"
The children ate a lot, so many fruits became sour. When I talk about this now, my brows are furrowed.
"Aunt, just tell me how this can is made and how it tastes so good?"
Lin Guodong is smarter and has grasped the key point.
Lin Xiuzhen couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.
"Well, this is what I'm going to tell you next. I want you to pick fruits from the mountains. I'll can them and sell them. I've sold some recently and the response has been pretty good. This market is still viable."
"His aunt, can it really be done? You know, the wild fruits on this mountain rot every year. If they can really be made into such delicious canned food, then this is a no-cost business!"
Lin Xiuzhen's sister-in-law Wang Guifang said with surprise.
Old Mrs. Lin just glanced at her sideways.
"What are you talking about? Isn't this glass jar money? Isn't this sugar water money? How can it be a business without capital?"
Old Mrs. Lin thinks a lot after all.
Then he thought of something else, "How much can this can be sold for? Don't people usually go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it? Can this really be sold?"
Lin Xiuzhen nodded immediately, "Mom, you have tasted the canned fruit I made. Do you think your daughter's craftsmanship is not enough to sell it?"
When Old Lady Lin thought about it, it seemed to be true.
"That's right. My daughter's cooking is so delicious, there must be a lot of people who like it!"
After saying this, he started laughing.
"Then tell me, how do you want us to cooperate with you?"
Old Man Lin thinks that this thing can be done. Since his daughter said so, it proves that there must be profit in it, otherwise he would not ask her family to do it together.
"I sell this for one dollar a can outside. You can pick them and send them to me later. Or you can make them at home and send them directly to town when they are done. I will be responsible for the sales!"
After Lin Xiuzhen finished speaking, everyone was shocked by the price.
"How much did you say?"
Old man Lin now suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Otherwise, how could I have heard my daughter say that the canned food made from this wild fruit could be sold for one dollar?
"It's just as you thought. A can costs one dollar. Many people are fighting for it. So, quietly get me some fruit. When the time comes, I'll make it and sell it!"
The children have all gone out to play, and those who are in the house now are the people in the Lin family who have the power to make decisions.
Everyone was excited when they heard that this can of canned fruit could be sold for one dollar.
"Then fix it, this must be fixed!"
After thinking it over, Old Man Lin felt that there was a lot of profit margin here.
"Well, the money we earn will be divided 70% and 30% at that time. The children in our family are all grown up now, and the house may not be big enough for us..."
The Lin family's situation is actually not much better than Lin Xiuzhen's.
After all, with a large population and many children, the family expenses are high. In addition, in recent years, the family has been getting married, and several of Lin Xiuzhen's nephews have reached the age of marriage. In order to get married in the early years, they almost emptied the family's savings.
After finally recovering, the family had another member, and now the Lin family can be said to have four generations living under the same roof.
In such a large family, which has not yet been divided, there are bound to be some minor conflicts. Moreover, as they are all daughters-in-law, Lin Xiuzhen knows that everyone wants to be the master of their own household.
But isn’t this because of lack of money?
Therefore, if you have money, you can divide the family when the time comes. When you have money, everyone can be the head of their own family, and there is no need to worry about unpleasantness caused by uneven distribution of things.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
For rural people, building a house is the top priority.
As the tree grows bigger, it branches out; as the children grow older, they separate into families. Now even the grandson has started his own family, so it is really not suitable for this family to continue living together.
And as more children were born, there wasn't enough room to live.
Lin Xiuzhen's proposal this time made everyone's heart stir.
"Okay, let's do it. When we make money, we'll split it equally among each family. Then you can split it up and live on your own!"
The new daughters-in-law couldn't help but smile.
"Then let a few children go pick the fruits and deliver them to you. There are too many people here and it will make quite a noise. The people next door are also keeping an eye on us. If we are discovered, it will be troublesome. Let a few children work harder and deliver the things when the time comes."
"If you need help, ask the boys at home to help. I will help you find the cleaning supplies. If you have any work to do, just ask them to do it!"
Old Mrs. Lin made the decision immediately.
"Okay, it's settled."
"Okay, the rest of you go and cook. Xiuzhen will stay at home tonight. It's not easy to walk on the road at night!"
"Well, I told my family when I left home this morning that I would stay at home for one night. I will tell you the details later."
Because Lin Xiuzhen was here in the evening, the food was much better. After dinner, the children went out to play while the adults discussed things in the yard.
