Chen Xiaomi leaned on the table, looked at the jam, and said, "Is this all right?"
"Just let it cool down."
Chen Xiaomi waited for a long time, and finally waited until Lu Lin said that it was almost done.
Chen Xiaomi couldn't wait to dig some jam and took a bite, sucking his fingers, and said with a happy face: "Ah! It's delicious."
Lu Lin also dipped a little bit, tasted it, frowned, and said, "It seems a bit too sweet."
"I think it's delicious!" Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin, and felt that Lu Lin was really weird, sweet is not good! The young master's taste is too different from his, and meat is also the same. Lu Lin likes to eat lean meat that is firewood and oil-free.
Lu Lin took a look at Chen Xiaomi, and thought that perhaps Chen Xiaomi was right, after all, this guy is a local.
Lu Lin was stunned, and Chen Xiaomi finished half a bottle of jam.
Lu Lin said helplessly: "Eat less, be careful of tooth decay."
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, and felt that Lu Lin's worries were superfluous. It was really strange that he worried about some things all day long, whether he would eat or not.
Lu Lin made jam from the wild berries he had collected. After the jam was finished, Lu Lin stored the jam in the canteen. He planned to wait a few days and sell it in the restaurant together with the sweet potato wine.
Taking advantage of Lu Lin's inattention, Chen Xiaomi secretly hid the two bottles of jam.
If you want to get the things in the canteen, you need Lu Lin's consent. Chen Xiaomi hates Lu Lin's remarks, "You can't eat too much!", "You have tooth decay!", "It's all junk food!" , but there is nothing to do.
…
"Brother Lu, Brother Chen, you are finally here!" The owner of the Fortune Restaurant warmly received the two of them.
The wine delivered to the restaurant by Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi was very popular, and the cooperation between the two parties was very good.
"How much wine is there this time!" Shopkeeper Wang asked impatiently.
"Ten jars of the first type of wine, thirty jars of the second type."
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Very good, very good." Shopkeeper Wang greeted a few fellows and moved all the wine into the wine cellar, and Lu Lin got seventeen taels of silver.
Lu Lin looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said, "I have a novel thing here, which I made by accident. I want to ask Boss Wang to have a look."
Shopkeeper Wang said with great interest: "Really? What is it?"
Lu Lin took out a jar of jam, shopkeeper Wang took a sip, and said, "Good stuff! There should be many customers who like it, but there should be a lot of sugar, brother Lu is really willing to spend money."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's a lot of sugar, so it's not cheap, and if it's cheap, you won't be able to get it back."
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the jam and said, "This stuff is good, but it can be stored for a few days!"
Lu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: Sure enough, he is an expert! The key to the question was immediately asked, "It can be stored for about seven days."
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Seven days! That's enough."
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi sent the jam to the Fortune Restaurant for sale.
Lu Lin and the shopkeeper made an agreement that the jam would cost one tael of silver per jar, and the boss would draw two hundred cash for each jar sold.
The price of the jam was on the high side, and there was little interest in it at first. However, more and more people are buying one after another.
…
After a few days, another batch of wild berries in the forest matured, so Lu Lin gave the basket to Chen Xiaocai, and asked Chen Xiaocai to find someone to pick wild berries again.
Finding someone this time was much smoother than last time. In fact, after Chen Xiaocai had hired a few people to pick wild berries, he often met people when he went out these days, asking him if he wanted to pick wild berries.
Chen Xiaocai never got a letter of approval from Lu Lin, so he didn't dare to accept it randomly.
Chen Xiaocai now trusts Lu Lin very much. Everyone in the village thinks that the idea of the glove is his elder brother's. Chen Xiaocai knows very well that it is Lu Lin's idea.
Although Chen Xiaomi avoids Chen Xiaocai in many things, but after all they live under the same roof, Chen Xiaocai still feels the magic of Lu Lin.
Finally, when Lu Lin harvested wild berries again, the children snatched up the small baskets beside Chen Xiaocai.
Zhang Dahu brought his younger sister Zhang Meizi out this time, and the children were very busy. Soon, the wild berries growing in the forest were picked clean again.
In the evening, Lu Lin collected the wild berries, paid the copper coins, and sent the children back.
This time, more children helped pick wild berries. Some children did not get the baskets, so they cooperated with the children who got the baskets, and the two of them picked a basket.
Lu Lin counted the baskets and said to Chen Xiaomi, "One more basket is missing."
Chen Xiaomi frowned, no one brought back the basket that was lost last time, and lost another one, it is very likely that the same person did it.
Chen Xiaomi poked his waist and said: "Something is not right, I'll ask Xiaocai." The baskets were bought for five cents each, and one was missing at a time, which was too strange, although it was not worth much.
"One basket is missing?" Chen Xiaocai asked in surprise.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes."
Chen Xiaocai frowned and said, "Maybe Lu Songshi did it."
When looking for someone to pick wild berries for the first time, Chen Xiaocai was a little confused, so there was a lot of chaos. This time, everyone is familiar with it. Chen Xiaocai can probably remember who came to pick up the basket. Chen Xiaocai remembers Lu Songshi took a basket from him.
Chen Xiaocai had a deep impression of Lu Songshi, because one Zhang Dabao told him that Lu Songshi was behind his back, urged them not to play with him, and even spoke ill of his elder brother.
When Lu Songshi asked him for a basket, he hesitated for a while, whether to give it or not, he still gave it because he was afraid that there would be trouble, but later, he didn't see Lu Songshi coming to deliver wild berries.
At this time, Chen Xiaocai remembered from his eldest brother that one basket was missing.
The matter involved the Lu family, and Chen Xiaomi felt a little headache.
Chen Xiaomi was actually very lucky in her heart, thankful that the Lu family was willing to bring Lu Lin over, and thankful that Lu Lin, a scholar, entered the body of the original Lu Lin.
After all, Lu Linyuan was from the Lu family, which made Chen Xiaomi's attitude towards the Lu family a bit subtle.
Chen Xiaomi narrowed her eyes and said, "Forget it, it's just a few baskets, just pay more attention next time."
Lu Lin took a deep breath. Lu Lin was still a little afraid of the old lady of the Lu family's nonsense. It's not that he was afraid, but it was not worth making trouble for a few pennies. In this era when feudal ethics prevailed, quarreling with the old man , Reasonable will become unreasonable.
…
A few days later, Chen Xiaocai summoned people to harvest wild berries for the third time. The children who helped pick wild berries in the first two times all arrived, and this time there were three new members. When distributing the baskets, Lu Songshi appeared again.
When Chen Xiaocai divided the basket, he deliberately left it behind, and Lu Songshi didn't get it.
Chen Xiaocai told people that if you don't get a basket, you can use your own basket to pick wild berries, and then count them in a small basket.
Hearing what Chen Xiaocai said, Zhang Dahu brought a big basket from home.
Picking wild berries was in full swing in the village. At first, some adults thought they were just children earning pocket money. Later, they found out that a child who came down several times had actually made more than a hundred dollars. He couldn’t sit still Living.
However, the adults in the village were too embarrassed to compete with the children, but they sent all their children out while picking wild berries.
After picking wild berries a few times, Chen Xiaocai immediately won the favor of many children in the village.
"Father, look, this is the money I earned." Zhang Daman held up the copper plate to Zhang Jin to see.
Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Daman is amazing."
Zhang Daman said with some pride: "Except for Zhang Dahu, I earn the most money." Children also have a mentality of comparison, there is still a big difference in the copper coins earned between children with fast hands and feet and slow hands and feet.
Zhang Jin looked at the copper plate in Zhang Daman's hand, feeling a little strange.
Zhang Jin originally thought that life would be difficult for Lu Lin to marry Chen Xiaomi, but unexpectedly, the life of Chen Xiaomi's family became more and more enviable.
"Where did you get all this money?" Zhang Cheng walked in and asked.
Zhang Daman said proudly, "I earned it."
Zhang Cheng was not happy when he heard the words, and said, "You went to help Chen Xiaocai pick wild berries, so you are not allowed to go?"
Zhang Daman didn't get the compliment, so he was a little annoyed, "Grandpa is really annoying." Zhang Daman ran out sullenly.
Zhang Jin said a little unhappy: "Father, it is a good thing that Daman can earn copper coins!"
Zhang Cheng frowned, sighed, and said, "Chen Xiaocai is Chen Xiaomi's younger brother! You've learned badly from hanging around with that kid all day long."
Zhang Jin said dissatisfied: "Father, you think too much, how could it be as serious as you said!"
…
The jam in the town sells well. When the business is good, it can sell more than a dozen bottles a day. However, this product is a bit more expensive, and not too many people can afford it. Sometimes, even a bottle cannot be sold in a day. , there are also. Lu Lin didn't take out the jam all at once, most of it was stored in the commissary.
Chen Xiaocai didn't know much about the jam.
I told people that the collected wild berries were used to make wine, so the villagers did not associate the "immortal jam" sold by the Fortune Restaurant with Lu Lin and Chen Xiaocai.
The taste of the jam is very good. At the beginning, no one knew what the jam was, and only a few people bought it to try it out.
People who have eaten it like it very much, and there are many repeat customers.
The taste of jam is sour and sweet, and it is very popular among the old people in the town. It is a bit rich, and after liking it, they like to wrap it round.
A bottle of jam for one tael of silver is a sky-high price for many tricksters, but for some rich men who are willing to spend a lot of money to make Pomeranians smile, a bottle of jam for one tael of silver is nothing.
Sugar is still a rare thing here, and jam is very sweet, which is in line with the preferences of many people.
"Brother Lu, you are finally here." Shopkeeper Wang was a little excited when he saw Lu Lin.
Lu Lin looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said, "What's wrong?"
Shopkeeper Wang sighed, and said, "It's not that jam. Many people are rushing to deliver the goods. If you don't come to deliver the goods, I will go find you."
Lu Lin frowned and said, "Isn't it not very easy to sell?"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled wryly, and said: "Brother Lu is really good at joking. Two days ago, Li Yuanwai's family in the city had a happy event. Li Yuanwai is rich and powerful. A bottle of fairy jam was prepared on each table. The people in the meeting were very fond of this jam. It was full of praise, and I remembered it all at once.”
Lu Lin rolled his eyes and thought to himself: That's how it is. The previous reputation of jam was only spread in a small area. With this banquet, it should be known.
Lu Lin brought thirty bottles of jam to shopkeeper Wang, who frowned and said, "Is there only so much?"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "After all, it can only be kept for seven days, so I don't dare to do too much."
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how much you have, you can sell them recently. If you can make more, then you can make more."
