Chapter 42: Jam For Sale

Chen Xiao Mi stared at the jar of jam, "How long do we have to wait for?"

"Is it cool yet?"

"No."

"A little longer then."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin went a few rounds like that, and finally Lu Lin said the jam was ready at the fifth round.

Chen Xiao Mi dipped a finger and had a taste, he closed his eyes and said, "Y-U-M-M-Y!"

Lu Lin had a taste too, but Lu Lin found it too sweet.

"No, I think it's perfect." Chen Xiao Mi didn't get it, why would someone say something was too sweet.

Lu Lin cast a glimpse at Chen Xiao Mi and thought, 'Maybe he is right, maybe the locals here do enjoy sweets.'

Chen Xiao Mi had gulped down about half a bowl of jam while Lu Lin wasn't paying attention.

"Stop, your teeth will rotten."

Chen Xiao Mi pouted, 'food is food, food is good!'

Lu Lin made a whole batch of jam using the berries the kids had picked, he stored them in the shop, he planned to sell them to Manager Wang when they went to town next time to sell sweet potato wine.

Chen Xiao Mi had hidden two jars of jam, he had no access to Lu Lin's shop, and he knew Lu Lin would refuse to give him jam in large amount.

"It's not healthy", "You need to take care of your teeth", "This is junk food too"... ...

"Aiya, Lu Lin, Chen Xiao Mi, you guys are finally here!" Manger Wang beamed with smiles.

Their wine was much in demand, Manger Wang hoped to buy more this time.

"How much are you selling this time?"

"10 jars of beer, 30 jars of sweet potato wine."

"Great, great!" with that Manger Wang asked the busboys to carry the alcohol into the cellar, and he handed Lu Lin 17 taels of silver.

Lu Lin looked at Manger Wang and said, "I've made something new recently, can I ask you to have a look?"

"Oh? What is it?" Manager Wang was interested.

Lu Lin handed a little jar of jam to Manager Wang, Manager Wang had a taste and exclaimed, "Wow, what is this thing, tastes so good! You are very generous with sugar and berries, I think the customers will love it!"

Lu Lin smiled, "Correct. I've put a lot of sugar, so it's not cheap, otherwise I'll end up losing money."

Manager Wang had one more taste and said, "How many days can I store them though?"

'How sharp-eyed! He has asked the key question, the shelf life!'

"Around seven days." Lu Lin replied.

"Sounds good enough."

The couple decided to sell their jam in Good Luck Restaurant, one tael of silver for one jar, Manager Wang could get 200 cents for each jar that was sold.

The high price had scared people away in the beginning, but more and more people showed interest in them. And they became very popular.

Several days later, the berries in the mountain were ripe again. Lu Lin asked Chen Xiao Cai to pick some more with his friends, same price as last time, 3 cents.

It went so smooth this time, Chen Xiao Cai had gathered a group of kids in no time.

As a matter of fact, there were always kids asking Chen Xiao Cai whether he still wanted berries in the past few days, but Chen Xiao Cai had turned them down because Lu Lin had not mentioned a thing.
