On this morning, many individuals got here to Cheng Yun’s home, carrying lots of of catties of greens. They stuffed Cheng Yun’s entrance yard, and even by midday, there have been nonetheless many individuals crowded in entrance of the gate.

Cheng Yun exchanged all of the three taels of unfastened change he had left from promoting the plum soup recipe, and he additionally added some cash left over from the bitter plum soup gross sales. In only one morning, he spent a number of taels. Seeing that he was operating out of money and couldn’t accommodate so many greens in his home, he advised the individuals who would come later that any additional greens might solely be collected in two days as a result of there was no house in the home. When the time comes, a giant pink banner might be posted on the doorstep, indicating that everybody can come to promote their items.

Some individuals who arrived late turned nervous upon listening to this. Earlier, they have been nonetheless hesitant, however seeing everybody exchanging their items for cash, they realized that it was far more handy than promoting within the city. So additionally they picked some greens, however they didn’t count on to listen to this information as quickly as they arrived.

Among the many folks in the midst of the queue was Aunt Su.

Within the morning, after listening to what others mentioned, she additionally thought that Cheng Yun was going to take the greens to promote within the city and deliberately lowered the worth. The value per catty didn’t seem to be a lot, however ten catties can be ten yuan much less, and 100 catties can be 100 yuan much less. Cheng Yun might simply make double or triple the revenue by promoting them elsewhere. Enthusiastic about this, she felt a bit resentful.

Nonetheless, when she went residence and advised her household about it, not everybody took her aspect. Her eldest son merely mentioned, “Even when Cheng Yun manages to gather every part, there’s no assure he can promote them on the town. He may need to deliver them again and maintain them for himself.” After that, Aunt Su started to ponder over the matter.

At that second, Chen Fang had already bought the primary batch, and when others noticed it, the information unfold like wildfire. Aunt Luo, the neighbor subsequent to Aunt Su, specialised in rising chili peppers. Chili peppers have been tough to promote in massive portions, and he or she had additionally saved some at residence. Upon listening to that Cheng Yun nonetheless wanted extra, she shortly went residence, gathered her chili peppers, and went to promote them.

Seeing Aunt Su nonetheless hesitating, Aunt Luo couldn’t hassle together with her anymore. Carrying her chili peppers, she left her home. Feeling itchy to affix in, Aunt Su additionally picked up a basket and went to see the state of affairs.

When she arrived at Cheng Yun’s doorstep, she was shocked to search out that so many individuals had gathered there! And those that had advised her to not promote within the morning have been already standing on the entrance of the queue, fortunately counting their cash!

Aunt Su out of the blue felt deceived, however she thought of what the village chief had mentioned, in addition to what Aunt Luo had mentioned about Cheng Yun taking all that was provided. She determined that when she completed promoting this basket, she would deliver the remaining over. However at that second, she heard Cheng Yun say that he wouldn’t gather any extra in the intervening time, and he or she instantly regretted it, nearly crying!

The individual standing in entrance of Aunt Su was Lin Shi’an, a person from the Lin household who had mentioned together with her within the morning. He had mentioned he wouldn’t promote and deliberate to go to city to promote his personal produce. However now she noticed him carrying two massive baskets of mustard greens. In comparison with her small basket of radishes, Aunt Su couldn’t assist however really feel offended.

“Lin Shi’an, didn’t you say you wouldn’t promote within the morning? How come you’ve introduced a lot now?!”

Lin Shi’an glanced at her after which at her small basket of radishes. There was no confusion for him, however as a person, he didn’t wish to argue with a girl. He merely defined that his Ge’er knew concerning the state of affairs and urged him to deliver the products. He had no alternative.

Seeing that Aunt Su was nonetheless itching with anger, Lin Shi’an whispered to her, “Don’t fear, there’s no rush. Cheng-Ge’er mentioned he would resume shopping for in a few days.”

Lin Shi’an continued, “You didn’t see the model earlier. Cheng-Ge’er had his husband stand on the door together with his arms full of cash. Each time somebody got here, he would give them a coin as if taking part in with kids. He didn’t thoughts in any respect. Now it’s lunchtime, and he requested his neighbor, Aunt Wang, to take his husband to eat first. Then he’ll personally distribute the cash. I believe it’s as a result of their home couldn’t accommodate every part, so that they needed to cease for now and resume shopping for in a few days.”

Aunt Su took a peek and certainly noticed solely Cheng-Ge’er busy in entrance. However as she contemplated, she turned much more offended. “So, you got here twice as effectively?!”

Lin Shi’an, feeling responsible, shrugged his shoulders and didn’t dare to talk.

Not many individuals have been like Aunt Su. In truth, a substantial variety of them hadn’t even introduced any items. They needed to attend and see how issues would prove earlier than deciding. Nonetheless, they solely discovered after the day ended that Cheng-Ge’er wouldn’t be shopping for for the following few days. Then again, those that introduced items and even introduced their whole households to queue up had earned a number of hundred cash by the morning, clearing out all of the remaining inventory of their houses. As compared, they deeply regretted their choice.

Chen Fang, within the midst of all of it, turned the largest winner. He was the primary to resolve to promote, and he got here two or three extra occasions afterward. He had his son and Ge’er come alongside as effectively, choosing and bringing all of the radishes saved at residence. In only one morning, he earned almost 300 yuan. Previously, it might have taken him a month or extra to make such an quantity.

With the cash in hand, Chen Fang was delighted and went round telling others how beneficiant Cheng-Ge’er was. When he heard folks criticizing Cheng-Ge’er’s lack of integrity and promoting at decrease costs than on the town, he would even scold them again, saying they need to by no means go to Cheng-Ge’er’s place of their lifetime in the event that they meant to disrespect his goodwill.

He requested Cheng-Ge’er what different crops he would want subsequent and went to city together with his household’s kids to purchase seeds. He additionally bought new fabric strips, aspiring to make new garments for his spouse and youngsters whereas he had some spare cash.

Some folks observed his change and secretly contemplated over it. As for many who had been hesitant, upon listening to his phrases, they instantly made up their minds to be the primary ones to deliver items to Cheng-Ge’er’s home subsequent time.

Cheng Yun couldn’t afford to care concerning the hidden ideas of the villagers. He organized the products at residence, totaling almost 700 catties of radishes, 450 catties of mustard greens, and near 100 catties of chili peppers. It price him somewhat over three taels of silver, plus the cash spent on seasonings and utensils earlier than, leading to a complete funding of about seven to eight taels.

He divided the harvested greens into a number of parts. First, he moved a small quantity to the Wang household’s yard. Then, when it was darkish, he allowed Wang Liang and Yang Hongjin to assist him transport the remaining portion to the Cheng household.

The method of pickling bitter radishes was comparatively fast in comparison with pickling Sauerkraut, which took two to 3 days. In the event that they needed a extra flavorful style, it might take about 5 to 6 days. Nonetheless, bitter radishes solely required two hours.

The tedious half about bitter radishes was that every one needed to be reduce into small items for simple consumption and positioned into the clay jars. General, the time spent on each duties was roughly the identical.

Liu Wen was urging them eagerly. He needed to reap the benefits of the recognition of bitter plum soup and shortly push the jars of Sauerkraut into the market. The phrase was already out, and lots of loyal clients of Yueqiong Tower knew that they’d quickly have new merchandise. Everybody was eagerly anticipating it, so Cheng Yun couldn’t afford to be idle.

He compressed the pickling time for the Sauerkraut to 2 days. As soon as all of the mustard greens have been ready for pickling, they started engaged on the bitter radishes.

The family was busy on daily basis. Earlier than formally launching the Sauerkraut jars at Yueqiong Tower, they’d to make sure secrecy and keep away from any leaks. Nonetheless, due to the vegetable assortment, there have been fairly a number of individuals who got here at varied occasions all through the day, simply to see when Cheng Yun would begin gathering greens. This brought about Cheng Yun a headache. Finally, he determined to shut the doorways and work in full secrecy.

On the third night time, whereas everybody was asleep and the whole village was quiet, a small convoy quietly entered Tie Village and ten donkey carts stopped in entrance of Cheng Yun’s home.

If anybody have been awake at that second, they’d certainly be startled by the grand scene. Nonetheless, the group remained silent, effectively transferring jar after jar out of Cheng Yun’s home.

They moved greater than a dozen massive and small jars, filling all of the donkey carts. The group departed as quietly as they’d arrived.

Li Fan led the group and instructed them to ship the products whereas he stayed behind to settle the fee with Cheng Yun for the Sauerkraut jars.

“The boss mentioned that you simply’ve been working tirelessly day and night time, and he really appreciates your onerous work. Along with the confirmed supply of eighteen jars of Sauerkraut, the boss requested me to present you an additional tael to purchase some scrumptious meals for yourselves.” Li Fan completed counting the silver and handed it over to Cheng Yǔn.

Cheng Yun smiled as he accepted the cash. He took out one other hundred yuan and gave it to Li Fan, instructing him to distribute it among the many individuals who had helped tonight. After a quick trade, Cheng Yǔn requested Li Fan to deliver some seasoning for Sauerkraut the following time he visited. Li Fan famous down the gadgets he wanted after which caught up with the remainder of the group.

Cheng Yun counted the cash. At the moment, Yueqiong Tower had tentatively priced a jar of bitter and crispy radishes at twenty yuan and a jar of Sauerkraut at thirty yuan. The price of every jar of Sauerkraut, together with the cabbage and the clay jar, was about lower than 5 yuan. With this batch of Sauerkraut, they may make round a thousand jars of Sauerkraut.

Cheng Yun doesn’t desire a share of the following gross sales, and solely receives the portion for the provides. With every jar of Sauerkraut weighing about half a catty, and for each catty of pickled greens he sells, he can earn ten to fifteen yuan. This time, they bought a complete of 1,200 catties, deducting the preliminary funding and including the additional tael from Liu Wen, they earned a complete of 9 taels!

In comparison with the cash he earned from promoting recipes, this quantity might not seem to be a lot, however promoting recipes was a one-time transaction, whereas Sauerkraut will be made and bought repeatedly. Furthermore, the jars bought within the preliminary stage will be reused. As soon as every part is on observe sooner or later, they’ll solely earn extra.

He put aside 5 taels for buying supplies, and evenly distributed the remaining 4 taels between Cheng Bao’er and Wang Liang’s household, with every receiving somewhat over one tael. He didn’t maintain any for himself.

After they have been distributing the cash, each of them have been shocked. They didn’t count on to earn over one tael in simply three to 4 days of onerous work, which was much more than what they earned from promoting bitter plum soup earlier than!

Cheng Yun didn’t inform them that he didn’t take any cash for himself. He solely mentioned, “Boss Liu rewarded us as a result of he noticed how onerous we labored. Additionally, this time the amount of the primary cargo was massive, so the sum of money we acquired can also be extra. Sooner or later, we’ll frequently provide Yueqiong Tower, and our family gained’t be burdened with storing an excessive amount of stock. They may even ship folks frequently to gather the products. We are able to proceed to make cash, however it gained’t be as a lot as the primary time. You ought to be mentally ready for that.”

Fortuitously, each of them have been down-to-earth folks. After listening to Cheng Yun’s phrases, they felt grateful to Boss Liu. Holding the cash of their palms, they fortunately went residence with none complaints. In spite of everything, they have been incomes far more cash now in comparison with earlier than, even when it might be barely much less sooner or later. It was nonetheless higher than earlier than.

After tidying up the issues in the home, the solar was about to rise. Cheng Yun walked to the desk and patted Yang Hongjin’s face. He gently mentioned, “Fool, I’m going to sleep.”

“Is spouse okay?” Yang Hongjin rubbed his eyes, his eyelids have been wrinkled from the rubbing, and when he checked out Cheng Yun, his eyes have been each hazy and deep, which unexpectedly brought about Cheng Yun’s coronary heart to skip a beat.

He touched his pounding coronary heart and the primary ray of daylight shone by the window. The beforehand dim corridor was bathed in a smooth mild. Cheng Yun couldn’t assist however decrease his head and kissed Yang Hongjin’s brow. His face turned pink, and utilizing the identical tone he used up to now when coaxing, combined with a touch of various feelings, he gently caressed his face and mentioned, “Hmm, fall asleep.”

Yang Hongjin, nonetheless half asleep, couldn’t distinguish any distinction in Cheng Yun’s actions from regular. He rubbed his face towards Cheng Yun’s palm and sweetly repeated, “Hmm, fall asleep!”
