However, the people in other villages would not have enough to try if the merchants could only bring home a little. Ultimately, the villages told their merchants to bring more.

Still, Su Fengchen only had a limited supply each time. He would not let foreign merchants buy everything and give nothing to the locals. That was why he ruled that everyone could only buy a limited amount.

His previous products were delicious, but he later made cured sausages, which were even more tasty. Everyone wished they could buy a big batch of cured sausages in one go.

However, foreign merchants would be unwilling to resell the sausages if they could not buy them in large quant.i.ties. Instead, they planned to keep them for their family members.

Su Fengchen’s heart softened when he saw everyone looking at him with eager

eyes. He was delighted to know that everyone liked the Su family’s delicacies.

Everyone looked at him with their hearts in their throats, afraid he would say he did not have enough products and that they could not order too much.

The foreign merchants profited significantly, helping their families to become wealthy by reselling the delicacies they bought from the Su family’s businesses.

Although their home was far from Su Teng Village, they enjoyed running back and forth. After all, they could make a living and eat delicious food, killing two birds with one stone.

After some thought, Su Fengchen said, “I plan to make more cured meats, so you can make pre-orders. How much do you need? You can pay us a deposit and return to collect your goods when we’ve prepared them.”

Everyone was thrilled after hearing his words. “Thank you so much, Fourth Young Master Su!”

“Thank you so, so much!” “I’ll order 100 pounds first.” “Me too!”

“I’ll order 300 pounds.”

“Then I’ll do the same.’

Su Fengchen’s lips twitched as he listened to everyone’s orders. “Are you all serious? Are you genuinely going to order so much at once?”

One of the merchants anxiously said, “Of course, Fourth Young Master Su. You know we’re honest when conducting business. Otherwise, Miss Su wouldn’t have cooperated with us. I’ll pay you the deposit now.”

“Yeah, Fourth Young Master Su. You have no idea how popular your cured sausages are in my village. Even I think they’re incredibly delicious. I’ve never had anything so tasty before.”

“Ordering a bunch at a time is okay since they’re easy to store. We’ve eaten many delicacies, but these sausages are the best. You can imagine how popular these are when we bring them to our local market.

“Yeah, these things are excellent.”

“Don’t worry, Fourth Young Master Su. I’m still ordering 300 pounds since I have a shop specializing in such delicacies. I resell your products to wealthy folks, and they’re willing to spend more to buy your products.”

“Your products are perfect, Fourth Young Master Su. There’s no doubt about it.

After all, we’ve tasted them ourselves.’

Su Fengchen realized everyone was being honest and signed contracts with them. Then he told his workers to make as many cured sausages as possible.

The workers did their jobs quickly and were responsible for chopping the meat while Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi seasoned them.

The seasoning was straightforward. The young couple added it into a large basin of minced meat, stirred the mixture well, and gave it to the workers to put the mixture into sausage skins.

Immediately after, they hung the products on a rope in the yard to begin the curing process. The cured sausages were ready in just a few days. The merchants were amazed when Su Fengchen called them over.

They did not expect the young couple to complete their orders in just a few days. Not only were they amazed—they were also excited.

The merchants quickly paid Su Fengchen, then got someone to load their goods onto their horse carriage before setting off. They wanted to bring their goods home quickly to sell. After all, they wanted to earn as much as possible before the New Year.

Of course, people also ordered plenty of other things from the younger couple besides cured sausages. The merchants were happy to pay for the Su family’s products.

They looked ecstatic and thrilled. Even so, they feared being unable to get their goods if they paid late.

Su Fengchen was in a daze as he held the money. He felt he should be the happiest, but the merchants were happier than him.

“Thank you very much, Fourth Young Master Su. I can make a fortune when I return to my village because of your products.”

“This is good stuff. Still, I can’t sell all my stock yet since I want to keep some to entertain my guests during the New Year.”

“We can use them as gifts too.”

“Yeah, I brought home the duvets I ordered from the embroidery shop as presents, and everyone liked them. I also used such goods to build some local connections. Now, it’s much more convenient for me to conduct business locally.”

“Me too. I just bought some braised chicken, roasted duck, and snacks from here as gifts.”

“Yes, yes. Previously, spending money to give gifts was not as accessible.”

Everyone talked at once, and Su Fengchen could not help but laugh. He did not expect his products to bring about such things.

Later that night, he sat on the brick bed with the silver he had earned and shared his happiness with his wife and parents.

Old Madam Su was amazed. “It’s only been a few days, but you’ve already earned so much. That’s how popular our cured sausages are.”

Su Fengchen nodded. “Everyone likes them very much. We should make more sausages since Su Teng Market will open in three days. Plenty of people will come rus.h.i.+ng to buy them.”

“Of course,” Old Madam Su said, “You should make more, but don’t tire yourself out.”

Miao Zhizhi smiled. “We’re only responsible for the seasoning,

Mother-in-law. We can’t tire ourselves out, even if we tried. The people we hired do most of the heavy lifting.

“Now that we’ve set up a store and hired more people, we can focus more on our personal responsibilities.”

“That’s great,” Old Madam Su said, “Still, you should be exhausted from those large orders. Rest more, okay?”

“It’s okay, Mother-in-law,” Miao Zhizhi said, “l can help Fengchen look after the shop, too,”

The young couple opened their shop daily, and many came from far and wide to buy their food. Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen took turns looking after the shop.

Old Master Su and Old Madam Su wanted to help, but the younger couple did not want them to tire themselves out. After all, they could rest at home since Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi had hired more people.

Suddenly, an idea came to Miao Zhizhi. “I have an idea!”

Old Madam Su asked, “What is it, Zhizhi? You can speak your mind. We’re family, after all.”

Su Fengchen looked at his wife encouragingly.

Miao Zhizhi smiled. “People from the county and prefecture came to buy our products previously. I thought we should open a few more stores closer to them.

“Since everyone knows it’s called Su l s Cured Meats, we can hire others to look after the new stores and send goods there. That way, it’ll be much more convenient for those people to buy our products.

“Then we no longer have to rely on foreign merchants to buy our stuff. We can expand our business elsewhere instead.”

Su Fengchen’s eyes lit up after hearing his wife’s words. “That’s an excellent idea!”

Old Madam Su nodded. “You’re right, Fengchen. That’s perfect. Why didn’t we consider that before?”

Meanwhile, the usually quiet Old Master Su nodded in agreement..
