"Good."

Upon hearing Luo Ge's words, Li Shopkeeper did not hesitate and tried it, then nodded.

"The sweetness is just right, and it also has a pear fragrance. This taste is truly novel."

He had actually never tried tea made from fruit before, though he had tried many flower teas.

And the aftertaste was sweet and felt comfortable going down his throat.

These past few days, due to the sharp decline in business at his shop, he had been a bit irritated, feeling like his throat was hurting.

"This is not just a simple fruit tea. I've also added wild honey and a few medicinal herbs, which are very effective at moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm, and stopping coughs."

"If you often have trouble sleeping, you can also try brewing some of this. It can help improve sleep."

Seeing the dark circles under Li Shopkeeper's eyes, Luo Ge said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Shopkeeper couldn't help but lower his head and look at the tea in his hand. Wild honey itself is quite valuable, and with the addition of other medicinal herbs, it's likely not cheap.

"No wonder my throat feels so much more comfortable after drinking this." He said with a smile.

"This paste you've added the wild honey and other costly ingredients to, I'm not sure what price you're planning to set for it?"

Luo Ge raised her brow slightly: "Its true value has not yet been realized. Setting a price at this time may not be appropriate."

"If not, Elder Brother Li, you can first take it back and try selling it for a couple of days to see the results, then we can talk about its value."

"As for this fruit sugar, you can also try selling it first. When results start coming in, we can discuss it then."

Yesterday, she had made two more baskets of fresh pears, two batches of five catties each. These two items can be sold by weight, so she thought she could try putting them out for sale for a couple of days.

Hearing what Luo Ge said, Li Shopkeeper looked down at the few jars.

After a brief moment of consideration, he nodded.

"Alright, I'll take them back and give them a try."

"Mm-hmm."

After discussing with Luo Ge, Li Shopkeeper didn't linger. He just had the people help carry the seven or eight baskets of pears he had brought over today.

He didn't know how Luo Ge's products would turn out, but they had collaborated a few times before, and he still trusted that Luo Ge wouldn't let him down.

So, he sent over another batch of fruit today.

"Then you stay here, sister-in-law, we'll be taking our leave now."

"Sister-In-Law, wait a moment, I'll be right out."

Thinking about it, she went back and left a note on the table.

"Okay, take your time, no rush."

Seeing Luo Ge's demeanor, Wang Sister-In-Law quickly said, then turned around and saw a group of men coming down the mountain.

"Husband, Second Master Gu, you're back!"

Seeing the brisk, agile Gu Jinchen carrying several wooden beams, Wang Sister-In-Law was momentarily taken aback.

"Ah!"

Wang Elder Brother laughed as he ran up to his wife, while Gu Jinchen simply put down the wood and went inside to find his wife.

"Sister-In-Law, I'm ready, let's go."

Hearing the commotion outside, Luo Ge thought it was Wang Sister-In-Law and called out from inside.

"Go where?" Hearing his wife's words, Gu Jinchen furrowed his brow.

Hearing Gu Jinchen's voice, Luo Ge looked up, her eyes brightening.

"Husband, you're back."

"Mm, where are you and Sister-In-Law going? May I come along?" Wiping the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, Gu Jinchen asked.

Luo Ge took the handkerchief and helped wipe his brow.

"Didn't we set the date for Older Baby and Second Baby's apprenticeship ceremony? I was just going to town with Wang Sister-In-Law to buy the things needed for the ceremony."

Hearing this, Gu Jinchen nodded: "I'll go with you."

"??? Are you done with your work already?" That was quite fast.

"Mm, the wood has been chopped and left at the base of the mountain. I just need to go back and get one more load, then it'll be done. I'll be back soon, wait for me?"

"Alright, don't rush, be careful."

"Okay."

After Luo Ge agreed, Gu Jinchen went outside, and his reply came from quite far away, as he was running quickly.

Luo Ge has a message:

【These past few days Luo Ge has been quite busy, what with her sister's wedding and all the things that needed to be handled at home. The updates may be a bit less frequent, so you all can stock up on reading.

Likely after she's done with the busy period and returned home, the regular updates (twice a day) will resume, along with occasional extra updates.】
