MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 261 businessman

 “Made into jam, or fruit wine.”

"Jam? Fruit wine? Can this be sold in Sui'an City?"

It’s not that my sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, wants to throw cold water on it, but there are many nobles in Sui’an City, so the things at the entrance are not expensive but expensive.

Fruit can be sold at a high price because it is not easy to come by, but if the wine or jam made from the fruit is like this, I am afraid that it may not be in the eyes of the nobles.

If it is just sold to ordinary people's homes, it is estimated that the price will not be high, so the sales may not be good.

 In this case, wouldn't it mean that a lot of trouble would be achieved but the optimal result would not be achieved, so the sister-in-law Liu raised a question.

 Du Jingyi also has his own opinion on this.

"No, the fruit wine and jam are not sold in Sui'an City. Instead, they go to Jinling City. There are many wealthy businessmen there who like sweet food. The taste of fruit wine and jam is easier for them to accept."

“Once there is a market, there will naturally be ways to improve it. After incorporating some local characteristics, these things will become more popular and become imported products. Are you worried about whether the price will go up after you are curious about them?”

Hearing this, sister-in-law Liu had to admire her younger siblings.

She is a natural businesswoman. The things that come and go are obviously produced in Cezhou, but they have become imported goods, and the price has increased at least ten times.

The nobles in Sui'an City may not be interested in Cezhou fruit wine and jam, but if a pot worth a hundred gold is a special product from the Western Regions, it will probably become popular.

Thinking of this, sister-in-law Liu said excitedly.

“I don’t know how much my brother and sister have to invest. Can I share it with my sister-in-law? I’m not very capable, but I can still do it with a few shouts.”

"I am afraid that the Du family will not be able to fully satisfy this matter, so I have discussed it with my father and will find a few reliable uncles to do it together. When the market is revitalized, the people of Cezhou will also have By then, whether they are growing melons or Cabernet Sauvignon, they will be able to earn a little more income, and their lives will be more comfortable than they are now.”

“Brother and sister are righteous, my sixth brother is lucky to have a wife like you, and it is also a blessing for the people of Cezhou.”

“Sister-in-law, isn’t it an exaggeration? The people are your Majesty’s people, and Cezhou is also His Majesty’s Cezhou. I am just a merchant who is just making a profit, and I don’t deserve this great righteousness.”

Du Jingyi never puts herself on a higher pedestal, because that means she will have to bear more things in the future, so she just sticks to her duties and takes the profits she can make.

 Originally, she didn't have great ambitions to make the Du family the richest person in the country. Now these businesses are getting smoother and smoother. It's just because her parents and she like to study more in business.

"Then I will discuss this matter with Shopkeeper Song. I don't understand this kind of planting. It is more reliable to take some and go to Cezhou to find some shops to buy them."

 “Sister-in-law can do whatever she wants.”

Du Jingyi only said half of what she said. The rest was that even if there was an accident, she would be able to protect her sister-in-law and buy these shops back at a fair price, so that she would not really suffer a loss.

But she couldn't tell her sister-in-law Liu about this. It was obvious that she was in the mood, so talking about it would make her think too much.

The spring breeze ruffled a pool of warm water, and the Du family was particularly lively today.

 Brother Yun's 100-day banquet is what Du Jingyi has been looking forward to for a long time.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of being pregnant and the tossing back and forth, she would have wished she could run home every day to see her little nephew who grew up whenever the wind came.

　　It has been a few days since I last saw him, and he is completely different from what she remembered.

Not only it has grown several times bigger, it also looks a lot fairer. His round eyes were shining with clear light, and he was curious about everything he looked at. From time to time, he would make some uh-huh sounds, as if he was responding to everyone.

Du Jingxiang has returned to her pre-pregnancy appearance, and even has a brighter complexion due to her good mood and more maintenance during this period.

She held the baby in her arms and showed it to one person and another. There was so much motherly love in her eyes that she couldn't get enough of it, and she wished she could kiss him a few times.

“Brother Yun is good-looking, very similar to you.”

Mrs. Gu glanced at the child for a few times and then spoke to Du Jingxiang. Du Jingxiang also felt happy after hearing this, and then she elbowed her husband He Shilin next to her.

“Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for coming. Brother Yun’s 100-day banquet will be extra festive with you here.”

It was rare for her to speak in public. As her younger sister, Du Jingyi naturally wanted to help, so she spoke.

“Isn’t that right? Grandma even gave Brother Yun a gold collar and wished him peace and happiness.”

The congratulatory gifts were placed in the most conspicuous place in the hall. Although the brocade box given by Mrs. Gu was not the largest, the brocade box was the most simple and charming, and it was not vulgar at first glance.

 So after hearing what the two sisters said, they smiled and replied.

“It’s not a rare item. Fortunately, this thing was specially prayed for by Master Huiyuan in Jinling City, so it must be more or less effective, and it’s perfect for children.”

Du Jingxiang said with crooked eyebrows.

 “Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for taking the trouble. Brother Yun will grow up safely and be happy throughout his life.”

Before becoming a mother, she had thought about many possibilities. After becoming a mother, she realized that no blessing was as real as these eight words.

She was sincerely grateful for the years now, but He Shilin standing next to her had a smile on her face, but there was some inexplicable loss in her eyes.

Du Jingxiang failed to notice it, but Mrs. Gu and Du Jingyi took a look at it.

At present, his parents are here, his wife and children are healthy, and his family's property is rich. Du Jingyi can't figure out why he is missing. Could it be that he is not performing properly? Didn't do well in the exam? So you're blaming yourself here?

With the situation being like this, she couldn't just ask directly. She thought she would ask her parents later.

 Among the people who came today, in addition to those from the General's Mansion, there were also relatives of the Du family themselves.

Since Du Si's death, their house has been in decline. Now Mr. Du Er is still hanging on, and Du Jingxian's whereabouts are still unknown.

Although Mr. Du is not a person who kills everyone, he is not a living Bodhisattva either.

After sending the condolence gift, they no longer paid attention to the affairs of that house. Among the relatives of the Du family, except for Mr. Du Qi who came to visit in person, others stayed as far away as possible. As if they were afraid that Du Siyifang would get involved with them.

 But the more this happens, the more people look down on them.

 Hence, Laihui only makes the scene more lively, but it has no real effect.

　　But after Du Jingyi learned about this, he paid more attention to his seventh uncle, who had always been taciturn.
