After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

In order to avoid Ye Xunqing's misunderstanding, Feng Jingheng took the initiative to say: "The peaches above are high, and I was worried that it would be unsafe for you to climb the tree, so I thought of picking them for you first."

Ye Xunqing smiled, "Thank you very much, second brother."

Feng Jingheng turned his head away and didn't look at him.

There were four peach trees in total, all bearing green peaches. They were not big, but the peaches were indeed sweet. Ye Xunqing couldn't help but eat two of them.

The peaches on the top of the tree were relatively large, so Feng Jingheng picked a large basket and gave it to him, saying, "Are you planning to take them to town to sell the day after tomorrow? I'm afraid this basket won't fetch much."

"Of course not." Ye Xunqing touched his chin and thought, "Do you have any candy at home?"

"If it's a rare item, I don't have it at home." Feng Jingheng replied, "If you want it, I can help you buy some on credit from the village chief."

"Village Chief..." Ye Xunqing thought of the greedy brother and sister, "I got it!"

Ye Xunqing asked Feng Jingheng to deliver both baskets of peaches to the village chief's house. Feng Jingheng was very strong and he carried one basket on his back and the other in his hands without feeling heavy at all.

When Wang Qiumei saw Ye Xunqing coming back and bringing so many peaches, she knew that he was planning to cook that delicious peach soup.

"Auntie, do you have any candy at home?" Ye Xunqing asked, "I want to borrow some."

"Yes, if you want it, just write an IOU." Wang Qiumei asked, "Do you want to make peach juice?"

"We'll boil the peach juice tomorrow. We're going to make peach jam." Ye Xunqing wanted to sell the peach jam to the bun maker.

"I've heard of bean paste before, but this is the first time I've heard of peach paste." Wang Qiumei asked in surprise, "Is it edible?"

"Yes, it's delicious." Ye Xunqing borrowed the kitchen of the village chief's house. In order to be able to use the kitchen normally, he first arranged peach jam for several food connoisseurs in the village chief's house.

It just so happened that Wang Qiumei had steamed buns, and the peach jam could be used to sandwich the buns.

"Oh my, this is such a novel way to eat it." Wang Qiumei praised it highly after trying it. "It's not sour at all, it's fragrant and sweet."

"Auntie, do you think I can make money if I take this peach jam outside to sell it?" Ye Xunqing asked.

"I think you don't need to sell it outside. Just sell it in our village," Wang Qiumei said. "You don't need to dip it in steamed buns. Everyone can take a spoonful home and eat it. Isn't that fine?"

Ye Xunqing thought this was a good idea, so he said, "Aunt, please help me arrange it. I'll give you 20% of the money from the sale."

"Auntie, why do you want money?" Wang Qiumei was very helpful. "Just give me the money for the candy."

Ye Xunqing agreed and said, "Auntie, I'll tell you how to make peach jam. Can you make other fruit jams in the future?"

Wang Qiumei was happy to do so. "Okay. I'll tell you about it right away."

Ye Xiyun and Ye Xilan also came to help. They peeled all the ripe peaches. After all, peach jam didn't need to look good. No one would know what was in the pot.

Ye Xunqing spent the whole afternoon stewing peaches. The fragrance of the peaches had already spread out, and many children had already come to the door.

Wang Qiumei came back with a few wealthy women and brothers. "I'm telling you, this is Qing'er's first time selling something, so you can't just take advantage of him. If it tastes good, you really have to pay for it."

A woman said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. As long as it tastes good, I will buy it no matter how much it costs." The woman was a little plump and seemed to love sweets.

Another guy said, "This smells amazing. As long as it tastes good, I'm not afraid to spend money."

There is no doubt that Wang Qiumei has a strong network of connections, and the people she can bring over can definitely afford it.

"Oh, look at how delicious it smells! It's attracted all the kids here." Wang Qiumei didn't indulge them. "Go away. If you want to eat it, ask your parents to come and buy it for you."

Some children went home to find their parents, while some stayed here and wanted to share some.

The peach jam was very hot when it came out of the pot, but fortunately Ye Xunqing had prepared some in advance and chilled it in water, so they could serve it on the table as soon as they arrived.

"Oh wow, it's still cold." The slightly plump woman was very satisfied. "Qing'er, how much are you selling it for?"

Ye Xunqing hadn't made up his mind yet, so Wang Qiumei spoke for him, "This is our Qingge'er's secret recipe. We can't sell it cheaply. Let's sell it at the price of sesame oil. One liter of sesame oil is thirty cents. You should give half of it."

The people who came were a little hesitant, “Isn’t it a bit expensive?”

"If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it." Wang Qiumei covered the jar, preventing any fragrance from escaping. "I was originally planning to sell it in town, where the price is higher."

The fat woman said, "We have to go to town to buy food anyway, so we might as well buy it here."

"Give me two liters," the fat woman said. "I'll go home and get a can now. Be sure to save it for me."

The other people thought about it and bought one liter as well.

Wang Qiumei took out an empty piggy bank and filled it with money for Ye Xunqing, saying, "Put it in there first. Someone else will be here soon."

The wheat had just been harvested, and the villagers had some money. They would definitely buy food at the market in a couple of days, so it was better to buy cheap food now than to go to town and buy expensive food. Although the price was not cheap, it was still acceptable after gritting its teeth. After all, this was the first time they had seen peach jam.

Peaches will shrink after being cooked. The basket of peaches Ye Xunqing prepared was not enough. Before evening, they were all used up after people tasted and bought some. What was left were the hard peaches, which he planned to use to make canned peaches.

"Aunt, this is money for candy, and this is money for firewood." Ye Xunqing took out some of the money and gave it to Wang Qiumei. "There's still a jar of peach jam left. I won't sell it. I'll leave it for Yun Ge'er and Lan Jie'er."

Wang Qiumei took the money for the candy, but she didn't want the money for the firewood. "You can take that back. The firewood isn't mine. Heng Er brought it this afternoon. He also brought two jars of water."

Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "Really? He came over without even saying anything. I should have given him a can at least."

Wang Qiumei said, "You should go and thank them properly. The peaches belong to them."

Ye Xunqing took the money jar away. Wang Qiumei didn't care about it. She watched for an entire afternoon and learned some skills. Qing'er also said that he would come over tomorrow to make some mushroom and meat sauce, and he would teach her how to make it then.

Ye Xunqing gave her just enough money to buy candy. Not only did Wang Qiumei learn the secret recipe, she also earned money and a good reputation. Why wouldn't she do it?

Ye Xunqing found a place to count the money. Apart from the money given to Wang Qiumei, there were still 82 cents left. He promised to give Feng Jingheng 30%, which was 25 cents.

"Are you happy, Xiaobai?" Ye Xunqing handed him the money jar. "We earned more than fifty coins in this afternoon."
