The next day, after the two of them received the food to be sold from the workshop, Chen Fusheng looked at Xu Erlai expectantly and asked, "Brother Xu, you said yesterday that you could find a market today. Is that true?"

"How could it be false?" Xu Erlai was confident and well-informed.

After learning about Xu Erlai's plan, Chen Fusheng immediately lost his temper: "What a stupid idea! There are specialty stores in town, and my two nephews have to go to town every day to deliver goods, so where is the place for us to sell goods!"

When it comes to this matter, Chen Fusheng becomes worried.

Originally he thought he had got a good job, but he never expected that the food from Nanxi Village sold well in the town but not in the villages.

Because it’s too expensive!

Even if he split it into one or even half a liang pieces and sold them, there were still very few people willing to buy them.

How could he know that, apart from the original jelly, Xu Yingtao's subsequent series of products were all aimed at groups with middle-level consumption levels at the town level and above.

Asking him to go to the village to work as a peddler is simply making things difficult for him.

But he was not smart enough and really thought he had gotten a great bargain.

For farmers, a few cents are enough to buy a pound of grains. They are reluctant to pay for these foods that can be finished in two bites, no matter how delicious they are.

On the first day, some people were willing to spend a few cents to try it out, but by the second day, Chen Fusheng's throat was almost smoking from shouting, and no one was interested anymore.

As a last resort, he and Xu Erlai had to travel to more distant villages to sell the goods, and only then did they manage to sell all of them.

Thinking that he would have to run to a farther village on the third day, Chen Fusheng's legs began to tremble.

Even though he was getting a commission of 500 coins a day, he began to think about quitting.

He finally realized that he couldn't keep this job for long.

There are eight towns under Guiyun County. He couldn't even visit all the villages under Bailong Town, let alone other villages and towns farther away.

Just when he was wondering whether to ask his sister to find him a good job again, Xu Erlai came up to him with a mysterious look on his face and said that he would help him sell all the food quickly the next day.

He originally thought Xu Erlai had some good ideas, but it turned out that he was making things worse.

Xu Erlai was not annoyed at all by his criticism. Instead, he said with a playful smile: "I didn't say we were going to Bailong Town. Let's go to Yong'an Town, which is the closest to Bailong Town. We can take a bullock cart and go back and forth in a day without any problem."

According to Xu Erlai, Yong'an Town is not only the closest to Bailong Town, but the town is also much larger than Bailong Town. They only need to lower the price a bit, and they will have no trouble selling the food.

Chen Fusheng was persuaded, but new problems arose.

"If you lower the price, won't my commission be less?"

Xu Erlai sneered in his heart, no wonder the boss said that this man was both stupid and greedy, it was hard not to cheat him.

But he still had a smile on his face: "Brother Chen, you don't know, there is a gambling house in Yong'an Town. If you are lucky, it is not a problem to double the money in your pocket."

Chen Fusheng's eyes immediately lit up.

On the other hand, Xu Yingtao handed a letter to the clerk who came to pick up the goods from the Yong'an Town franchise store. The main content of the letter was to inform the local shopkeeper that Chen Fusheng and his partner were about to go to the town to sell goods, and she hoped that the local shopkeeper could help her cooperate.

After receiving the letter, the local shopkeeper naturally gave face to Xu Yingtao. Of course, this is a story for later, so we will not go into details for now.

In short, Xu Yingtao went through such a big detour to handle this matter, one reason being to completely put an end to the Chen family's idea, otherwise this family would be shameless and would definitely take advantage of them and make further demands in the future.

Secondly, since Chen came to her for help and she agreed, she naturally had to handle the matter properly to avoid bringing disaster to the first wife.

She is really worried about it.

There happened to be a market in the town today, so after breakfast, Xu Yingtao took her three daughters and Xiaohua to stroll around the town and stopped by the pork shop to order some pork.

When the butcher learned that she was going to order three big fat pigs, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.

Even the wealthy people in the town did not have the money to buy three at one time.

The main reason why Xu Yingtao bought so much pork was to make sausages and bacon, which she would then give to her partners and distributors as New Year gifts.

Furthermore, the new house was nearing completion, and she wanted to treat the entire village to a housewarming party before the New Year as a reward for everyone's hard work over the past few months.

The butcher was naturally delighted to have suddenly received such a large amount of business, and he promised to clean the pig hair and offal thoroughly.

Xu Yingtao paid the deposit and then went back to her own shop.

When the Zhao couple saw them coming, they wanted to entertain them warmly, but they couldn't let go of their business and were almost in a panic.

Xu Yingtao smiled: "Aunt, you don't have to greet us specially, we are just here to take a look and we have to go back soon."

Upon hearing this, Zhao hurried into the backyard again, and soon came out carrying two heavy bags.

"Cherry, please take this blue cloth bundle to my parents and my eldest sister-in-law's family. This one with patterns is for you."

Xu Yingtao was surprised. When she opened a corner of the bundle, she found a large bag of various cotton shoes.

Zhao was a little embarrassed and said, "My cooking skills are average, please don't look down on the cherries."

Then he continued, "I haven't been back to the village much these days, and the housework must have fallen on my eldest brother and his wife's family. I feel really bad about it. So I thought of making a few pairs of cotton shoes for them to keep their feet warm."

She originally wanted to send him back to the village in person after some time, but Zhao Wu persuaded her that it was different here than in the north. It would be warmer after the New Year, so if she didn't wear the cotton shoes now, when would she wear them?

It happened that Xu Yingtao and her group came to town today, and she didn't have anything to show off, so she quickly took out her cotton shoes.

How could Xu Yingtao dislike it?

Business in the town is already busy, and looking at the tables, chairs, benches and racks in the shop, all of them are maintained to a shiny finish, which requires a lot of time and cost.

Even so, Zhao still found time to make more than a dozen pairs of cotton shoes. It can be seen that she squeezed out time to make them. She was so grateful that she couldn't express it clearly.

At noon the next day, the two brothers from the eldest house brought back two well-prepared fat pigs.

Xu Yingtao on the other end said hello and asked to ask for it again later.

Xu Yingtao prepared the seasoning for the spicy sausages yesterday and started stuffing the sausages today.

Because of the shortage of manpower at home, Xu Yingtao temporarily transferred Xie Zhao's wife Wu Chunhua over.

Wu Chunhua is shy and tight-lipped, and since she is a relative, Xu Yingtao is very confident in her.

Although she was relieved, Wu Chunhua always seemed a little dull when she didn't speak, lacking the youthful vigor.

Xu Yingtao saw that her young cousin was feeling too heavy-hearted, so she tried every way she could to tell jokes to cheer her up.

After all, she was only a 19-year-old girl. When she learned that the mixed pork had to be stuffed into sausage casings, her eyes sparkled with surprise, and she finally showed some of the naivety of a young girl.

Soon, everyone started talking.

Somehow we ended up talking about having and raising children.

The inability to conceive has always been a thorn in Wu Chunhua's heart, and it is also the reason why she can never hold her head up in her husband's family.

So, she gradually lowered her head, and her expression was tinged with sadness.

Jiang felt extremely regretful and blamed herself for bringing up this topic, but the words had already been spoken and she couldn't take them back, so she could only quickly apologize to her niece-in-law.

Wu Chunhua forced a smile and shook her head: "It's okay, Second Aunt, maybe this is my fate."
