Wu Jin’s house.

Xiao Sheng entered the courtyard and saw Wu Jin repairing the wooden barrel alone under the roof. He asked casually, “Uncle Jin, are you home alone? Where are Grandma Wu and Wu Qing?”

When Wu Jin saw Xiao Sheng, he went into the house and took out a stool. “My mother went to visit neighbors. Wu Qing is opening up land on the other side of the slope. He’s in charge of the tractor schedule from 6 pm to 10 pm today.”

Xiao Sheng took the stool and sat beside Wu Jin. “Uncle Jin, please give me a permission slip. I want to go to the city on my day off.”

Wu Jin was a little puzzled when he heard this. Could it be that the output of those lands in the mountains was so high that they had to go to the city to sell them? Hence, he asked directly, “Are you going to sell vegetables and prey?”

Xiao Sheng paused for a moment before answering honestly, “I want to pickle some vegetables and go to the city to sell them.”

Wu was silent for a moment. “You found a channel?”

Xiao Sheng nodded. “I know who has it, so I want to make contact.”

Wu Jin didn’t want to issue this permission slip. Firstly, he was worried about Xiao Sheng. Secondly, the bigger the business, the easier it was to be discovered and reported. If anything happened to Xiao Sheng, what would happen to Xiao Lin and Xiao Li?

Seeing that Wu Jin didn’t agree, Xiao Sheng knew that he was worried about him. “Uncle Jin, the sooner my sister’s eyes are treated, the higher the possibility of her regaining her vision. Don’t worry, I will definitely be very careful. I know that nothing can happen to me.”

Wu Jin stared at Xiao Sheng’s unwavering gaze and sighed. “It’s good that you know that nothing can happen to you. No matter what happens in the past, remember to prioritize your own safety! Your life is more important than money.”

When Xiao Sheng heard Wu Jin relent, he revealed a faint smile. “I know!”

The autumn and winter fruits in the mountains began to ripen. Yu Bing made two more types of jam according to the seasonal fruits. On Friday, Xiao Sheng brought the new products to Brother Qiang.

“Brother Qiang!” Xiao Sheng greeted as he entered.

Brother Qiang played with two walnuts with one hand as he waved at Xiao Sheng. “Come in and sit.”

After Xiao Sheng sat down, he took out the jam from the basket and smiled slightly. “Brother Qiang, this is an improved version I made. Try it.”

Brother Qiang picked up his chopsticks and dipped them in. “It tastes okay. I’ll give you the usual price for the jam.”

Xiao Sheng wasn’t in a hurry to agree. He told him the plan he had discussed with Yu Bing last night. “Brother Qiang, the price of these two new products is 0.02 yuan cheaper. Actually, there’s something else I came here for today. I have a batch of pickled vegetables that weigh about 1,700 catties. I would like to trouble you to give me a channel in the city.”

After a while, Brother Qiang looked up at Xiao Sheng. “How do you want to sell it?”

Xiao Sheng revealed his plan. “I want to sell it to canteens in bulk.”

Qiang turned the walnut in his hand and said slowly, “Why are you asking me? Do you think I’ll definitely set you up with one?”

On the surface, it looked like he was just introducing someone to help Xiao Sheng sell the goods, but as long as there was interaction, it was only a matter of time before he gained access to the other channels in the city.

Xiao Sheng smiled. “I don’t know what answer you’ll give me, but no matter what, I still want to give it a try. Don’t worry, no matter what it is, as long as it’s through the channels of this person you introduced to me, I’ll pay you 0.01 yuan per kilogram or bottle.”

Brother Qiang’s spinning hand paused for a moment. The amount didn’t seem to be that much, but if he just needed to introduce someone to him and didn’t have to care about anything else, he would profit without doing anything. Moreover, his distribution of goods was indeed limited. If Xiao Sheng really found another channel in the city, it was impossible for him to do anything about it. At most, he would feel upset and do something to give him trouble.

Xiao Sheng was bold, meticulous, and willing to give up short-term profits to pursue long-term development. Brother Qiang admired Xiao Sheng’s capability and boldness.

Forget it, he would just treat it as promoting someone he admired.

Thinking about this, Qiang smiled brightly. “Okay, I’ll introduce you.”

Xiao Sheng’s smile deepened. “Thank you, Brother Qiang!”

Brother Qiang waved his hand and asked his two subordinates to leave. After the door closed, he picked up the paper beside him, then wrote down a name and house number. He handed it to Xiao Sheng and said softly, “Go to this house number on Peace Street and look for him. Tell him that Third Uncle asked you to send sweet potatoes. He will ask why your eldest niece didn’t come with you. Then, tell him that she has caught a cold recently, and Third Uncle is worried about her so he let her rest at home.”

Xiao Sheng nodded to show that he remembered.
