Chapter 314: Chapter 313: (5 more)

Li Shan unexpectedly placed an additional order for 60,000 pieces all at once, which caught Xu Niannian by surprise.

After all, she had only ordered 60,000 pieces in her first batch, and only a thousand of these had been sold so far, yet she was so eager to place another order.

It seemed that Li Shan had already decided to expand her distribution to various agents.

Meanwhile, Li Qingshui also came asking for products, placing an order for 60,000 pieces at once.

Generally, the output from Li Qingshui was around 60,000 to 70,000 pieces per month.

Previously, Li Qingshui did not have enough capital, but having made some money, he preferred to minimize hassles whenever possible; thus, he simply ordered a month’s supply in bulk.

Xu Niannian immediately notified Xu Erhong and Xu Zhiqiang, requesting them to ensure that 120,000 pieces of Liuyue Su were produced within a week.

With 10 machines and thirty to forty employees, Xu Niannian had given a generous week’s time, but she did not want to rush them into producing substandard goods.

Xu Erhong and Xu Zhiqiang were responsible for managing all major and minor matters in the factory, while Liu Guimei was tasked with tasting every fresh batch of Liuyue Su from the cauldrons.

If even one piece in a cauldron did not meet the taste standard, essentially the entire batch would be substandard.

For the sake of her own brand’s reputation, Xu Niannian would absolutely not allow the sale of substandard Liuyue Su.

To make commuting easier for Xu Zhiqiang, Xu Niannian bought him a bicycle.

Now, whenever villagers in Qingshan Village saw someone riding a bicycle, they could tell without getting close that it was either Xu Erhong or Xu Zhiqiang.

The reason everyone didn’t guess it was Xu Aiguo was because the Brigade Commander’s bicycle was broken.

Having received the first batch of orders, the factory workers—who were also villagers—were all excited.

In this era, most people were hardworking, only thinking about working more to earn more, with very few inclined to shirk their duties and be lazy.

They had previously worried about the lack of orders and whether the factory would shut down after just a few days of operation.

Now, with such a large batch of orders coming in and needing to be fulfilled within a week, the workers couldn’t be happier.

Xu Niannian’s factory also provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The cafeteria was located within the factory, and those working there were the very people who had previously sold their land to Xu Niannian under contract.

Working in the cafeteria was the best place to benefit, especially since any leftovers could be taken home for their families.

However, if they wanted to benefit unduly, it would be quite difficult, as Old Madam Xu was in charge of that sector.

In terms of purchasing groceries, the Old Madam would always follow closely behind to keep an eye on things.

The factory had been built, and even before Xu Niannian started recruiting workers from outside, people from other villages who had heard the news began coming over to inquire.

In this era when telephones were not widely accessible, communication was inconvenient. After receiving Li Shan’s request for additional orders, Xu Niannian had to ride her bicycle back to the village to inform Xu Erhong.

Xu Erhong’s home, with its five large-tiled rooms, was already constructed, and the family had moved from their old house to this new residence.

In Old Madam’s words, it was necessary to live here to keep an eye on the factory, lest any thieves attempted to steal.

Xu Erhong strongly agreed with this, and Xu Zhiqiang also lived here as it was too inconvenient to travel back and forth from Nancheng County because of his work managing the factory.

However, the workload for Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Erhong was actually not heavy, as they primarily stayed in the office.

Whenever there was an issue in the factory or a need arose, it would be reported to them.

Xu Erhong and Xu Zhiqiang shared one office.

Xu Niannian also had her own office inside, though she seldom came over.

Xu Niannian had just informed Xu Erhong that 120,000 pieces of Liuyue Su needed to be produced within a week.

Less than a day after returning to Nancheng County, Li Shan’s call came in the next day.

Li Shan, usually so composed, couldn’t help but sound excited as she said, "Miss Xu, I’m adding another 40,000 pieces to the order; you can complete them all together and then have someone deliver them to us."

Hearing the excitement in Li Shan’s voice, Xu Niannian raised an eyebrow in curiosity and asked, "How many did you sell today?"

"Four thousand pieces," Li Shan replied without hesitation, directly sharing the numbers with Xu Niannian. Her voice even trembled as she spoke.

The scene at the time was simply too shocking.

"Four thousand pieces?" Xu Niannian was shocked as well.

How could that be?

She had anticipated that the Liuyue Su would cause a sensation in the market in Haishi, but she never imagined it would be such a hot seller.

Keep in mind that they were selling for 50 cents each.

But considering the situation, it didn’t seem too exaggerated, since it was Haishi, a place that couldn’t be compared with a small county like Nancheng.

People on that side generally have higher per capita spending power.

Moreover, given the status of Li Shan and Sun Qiang, it certainly isn’t as simple as just opening a small storefront.

Sun Qiang and Li Shan are the epitomes of shrewd businesspeople.

With their brains, added to the reputation of Liuyue Su, wanting to sell 4,000 pieces in a single day isn’t really difficult; each Liuyue Su weighs about a sixth of a jin, so 4,000 pieces would only be about 640 jins.

I reckon people there buy by the jin.

After all, that is Hai City we’re talking about. There are so many folks going into business at sea, and the human traffic is who knows how many times more than in Nancheng County.

Not to mention, this is still under the condition that Li Shan has exclusive selling rights.

Hai City is so big, if Li Shan and her husband could really take over the entire market there, the profits are unimaginable.

Thinking this, Xu Niannian suddenly felt dizzy with joy—taking over the entire market in Hai City, that’s seizing so many opportunities.

The word "happy" no longer sufficed to describe Xu Niannian’s mood.

Feeling like she was about to float away, an ecstatic Xu Niannian covered her mouth and started hopping excitedly in the living room.

Li Shan also told Xu Niannian to hurry up and make the remaining 100,000 Liuyue Sus to send over to her.

She was worried that the first batch of 60,000 Liuyue Sus wouldn’t last even half a month.

Xu Niannian joyfully agreed, saying she’d send them over within ten days.

Taking over the market in Hai City could earn more money than taking over ten Nancheng Counties.

Jin Yu had just come out of the study, what he saw was his wife holding the phone to her mouth and jumping around in excitement.

What’s so exhilarating?

Jin Yu went down, embraced Xu Niannian from behind; she was busy talking to Li Shan, so she didn’t mind at all.

When he saw she had hung up the phone, Jin Yu leaned in and whispered in her ear, "What’s so exhilarating?"

An excited Xu Niannian turned around, embraced Jin Yu’s neck, and stood on tiptoes to plant a firm kiss on the corner of his lips.

"Jin Yu, I’m going to make money, a lot of money, so, so much money."

Her jubilant laughter easily infected Jin Yu, who smiled and pinched her cheek, "Haven’t you been making money all along?"

Xu Niannian shook her head and hummed, "It’s different, this time I can make a lot of money."

Xu Niannian, thrilled, kissed Jin Yu again, "I’ll support you in the future."

Xu Niannian was very clear about what taking over the market in Hai City meant; in the future, Hai City would be the city everyone was scrambling to develop in.

Before she was reborn, she hadn’t even dared to dream of having such an advantage.

Looking at her bright smile, Jin Yu ’tsked’, lifted her legs, and picked her up.

"Does your man still need you to provide for him?"

Xu Niannian wrapped her legs around Jin Yu’s waist, shook her head gleefully, her bright eyes curving into crescents, brilliantly radiant.

"Of course not, what’s yours is mine, and the money you earn is also my money. In the future, for eating, drinking, and spending, won’t it all be my money? So doesn’t it mean I’m supporting you?"

Jin Yu glanced at her, if he listened carefully, her words seemed to make sense.

Her smile was sly, like a little fox that had just stolen a treat, and as she spoke, she moved in to kiss him again.

She was so lively, unlike his usually shy little wife.

Jin Yu held up her buttocks with one hand, and with the other, he reached out to grab her chin and wagged it from side to side, "Is this still my wife?"

Xu Niannian held his face, her smile radiant and attractive; she leaned in to press her lips against Jin Yu’s, and said with a giggling voice, "No, you got the wrong person; your wife isn’t this pretty."

Ignited by her tempting little fairy act, Jin Yu hugged her and simply stepped up onto the coffee table so that she was straddling one of his legs.

Gripping the back of her head, he bent down and kissed her.

After a brief kiss, Jin Yu looked at her with his dark eyes, a smile on his lips, "Who says my wife isn’t that pretty? Not only is my wife beautiful, but she’s also... capable!"

The last word "capable" was spoken with a profound meaning by Jin Yu.

As his voice fell, he bent down to kiss Xu Niannian again, and this time it wasn’t just a peck.

Capturing her delicate pink lips, Jin Yu kissed her passionately, and Xu Niannian, smiling with her eyes half-closed, looked like a waxing crescent moon, mischievous and lively. Her hands clung to Jin Yu’s shoulders, passionately responding to him.

Feeling her reciprocation, a thought flashed through Jin Yu’s mind, ’This little fairy...’
