Chapter 87

The shopkeeper Li was standing nearby. When he saw that the deal was settled so quickly, he was caught off guard and stunned.

He never expected that such a major matter could be resolved so swiftly.

After the initial surprise, he quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly took out paper and pen to draft a contract.

After both parties reviewed and found no issues, they each signed it, and then had it officially notarized by the authorities, officially marking the start of their partnership.

...That evening, Luo Ge looked at the contract in her hands, joyfully rolling over.

"My husband, from now on we won't have to worry about food and clothing."

Although they had agreed on a thirty percent share, which was only thirty percent of the profits from the goods Luo Ge provided for sale, not from the entire shop's profits, it was still very satisfactory.

If the Fuxin Shop could maintain such steady development, they would essentially be able to live comfortably.

However, it's better to rely on oneself than others, so it was still necessary for her to develop her own business - her little tavern, and strive forward.

"So happy?" Seeing her like this, Gu Jinchen smiled and playfully tapped her nose.

"Yes, of course." The partnership had been agreed upon, the house was under construction - of course she was happy.

The well-made quince paste and quince candies were also taken away by Li Shopkeeper and his people. They hadn't had a chance to make more along with the previous batch, and there was only a total of 100 pounds. They paid her 300 taels of silver for it.

Based on the selling price of the candies, a small jar of 500 copper coins was sold for two taels, so one pound of candy was sold for two and a half taels.

There were 50 pounds of candy, which was 125 taels of silver.

The quince paste was estimated to sell at a higher price, so they paid her a bit more, rounding it out to 300 taels of silver.

Luo Ge had already taught them the recipe for making quince paste.

Considering that ingredients like amomum villosum and clam shells were very expensive, and the quince paste produced had some medicinal properties, Jiang Feng asked her if she had any other methods.

At the shop, they only planned to make it into fruit tea for sale, so they didn't need such high-quality ingredients for just tea.

The only thought in the mind of the dazed Luo Ge as she fell asleep was: Turns out, not only women can be pestering, men can be even more pestering.

To this, Gu Jinchen claimed that he really wasn't, it was just that the doctor had said to engage in moderation, so he had to force himself to stop.

The doctor: .....Okay, my bad.

.....The next morning, Gu Jinchen had already gotten up early and was busy at the construction site.

Li Shopkeeper also brought people over to learn from Luo Ge how to make pear jam and pear candies.

"So that's how it's done. Why didn't we think of this simple method before?"

Seeing Luo Ge's simple method, Li Shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaim while scratching his head.

To this, Luo Ge only smiled without responding.

"You can take these candy molds back and make some samples. If you can't get them to work, you can come find my husband. He made these."

Originally, the molds for making candies couldn't be taken out, so Luo Ge and her husband made a few wooden ones.

They were push-style molds, so after the candy solidified, you could push from the back and the candy would come out, without getting stuck.

This was something Gu Jinchen had devised.

"If it's possible, Master, you could also try carving some patterns or nice little designs on the molds. That might attract more customers."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ge made another suggestion. Upon hearing this, Li Shopkeeper's eyes lit up.

"Like the patterns you made on those mooncakes before, Miss?"

Luo Ge nodded. "Yeah, as long as you carve the patterns onto the molds, they'll be imprinted on the candy."

"Understood, I'll have someone try it out when I get back."

"Okay."
