Chapter 114
After retrieving the labels from the printing factory, Cheng Su delivered them to the Huaiji Supply and Marketing Cooperative, only to be greeted with good news upon her arrival.The pineapple jam had already sold thirty bottles, all one-pound jars; among the customers, someone bought ten in one go, intending them as gifts.Cheng Su was also somewhat surprised. She had predicted that the pineapple jam would sell, but not that so many would sell so quickly. To her further astonishment, Chairman Li ordered another hundred bottles from her, also one-pound jars, saying that this size was easier to sell and perfect for gifting, while the three-pound jars were more suitable for family consumption.After taking the order, Cheng Su immediately went back to the glass factory to buy more one-pound jars and slowly busied herself behind the food market. Today, without Taiguo’s help, she could only rely on herself, and it was exhausting. Luckily, Qiulan was willing to stay and help her after finis

Qi Taiguo had another task to do, and before he left, Cheng Su specially wrapped a red envelope for him with red paper, containing only an old copper coin."What’s this?" Qi Taiguo couldn’t figure out her intention. There had never been such a thing before, so why was there such a drama today?He found that he was becoming less and less able to understand Cheng Su."Oh, this was given to me by my dad, kept in the wooden box I brought over. It must also have been left by our ancestors—I guess he thought it didn’t look good to see just an empty wooden box, so he put this coin in it?" Cheng Su explained, "I heard from someone before that old copper coins have spiritual energy and can ward off evil. You carrying it with you can also ensure your safety and smooth sailing."She had seen this copper coin a long time ago, and didn’t know which dynasty it was from, so it just sat there. Last night, just before going to sleep, she vaguely remembered this thing about copper coins warding off evi

The sale of the pineapple jam went smoothly, and Cheng Su smiled with her eyes narrowed, "Today, I delivered all the pineapple jam to the Huaiji Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and after calculating, this trip brought us at least eighty yuan in profit!"Qi Taiguo was utterly astonished, "That much?"His own monthly allowance was only ninety yuan, and she just casually made eighty yuan from selling jam?"It’s not bad, just over a hundred pounds of jam, a small production. If we scale up, the profit could be even higher. The key now is to watch the market, as long as there’s demand, we can continue to invest," said Cheng Su casually.Qi Taiguo had a complex look on his face. That was a lot of confidence!"Then you’re quite good at making money," he said with a hint of discomfort."What’s so impressive about that? With Comrade Xiao Ping pushing reform and opening-up, we have to seize such good opportunities," Cheng Su shrugged. "Even the profit from the restaurant is over thirty-one da

Cheng Su filled a basin with water, submerged the large watermelon in it, and hummed a tune as she brought out her small money chest to put away the money she had earned today.The small money chest was a mahogany box, also part of her dowry, secured with a small lock. It was already brimming with neatly bundled banknotes of various colors, nearly full."Looks like, I’ll need to go to the credit union and open an account to save this money," she muttered to herself while feeling the banknotes.In those days, people treated money like a precious lifeline. Even if they had money, they wouldn’t deposit it in a bank, but would keep it at home by their side to feel secure. Plus, the banking system wasn’t mature yet and hadn’t earned people’s trust.But Cheng Su thought differently. Keeping money by one’s side may invite envy and theft if the household is not stable. Since banknotes are made of paper and don’t withstand the elements well, they could be ruined by dampness during a flood.She

After leaving the Huaiji Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Cheng Su immediately went to the printing factory, which was referred to her by Mu Yan. It must be said that knowing someone like Mu Yan who worked at the supply and marketing cooperative did come with more resources, and Cheng Su resolved to maintain a good relationship with her.Based on the labels she had seen before, Cheng Su had the approximate ingredients and formula printed on them, with pineapple as the main ingredient, sugar, and so forth, to make it clear to customers at a glance. As for the brand name, she chose to use "Joy Soon Loy".This was also the first batch of pineapple jam to be tested on the market, and as Chairman Li had said, if she really wanted to do this business, she had to register as a specialized household with the relevant departments and also get the brand name registered to prevent future counterfeit.By leveraging her connection with Mu Yan and adding some extra money, the printing factory agre
Chapter 109
The president of Huaiji Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Li Anhong, was a middle-aged man nearing fifty, with a potbelly and a bald head, bearing the typical look of a leader, but he was kind and easy to talk to. Rumor had it that he was also Mu Yan’s distant uncle, and with Mu Yan vouching for him, he quickly started addressing Xiao Cheng with great warmth and familiarity.Since it was jam made with a new recipe, it naturally had to be taste-tested. It wasn’t that Cheng Su was arrogant, but if a product received her own seal of approval, how bad could it be, really?And so, when Cheng Su brought out the jam for everyone to try, they were all in agreement, praising it. Some even said they wanted to buy a bottle to take home to try, and Chairman Li himself kept complimenting it."Xiao Cheng, I had already tried the jam you made before when little Mu brought some for me to taste, but I think this batch is even better than the last, in terms of flavor. It seems your craftsmanship has im
