Villager Xu Sang walked towards Shen Xuening's house: "Ningning, Ningning, are you home?"

Shen Xuening was not at home, but Shen Yingying was. She came out of the house and asked, "Aunt, what are you looking for my eldest sister for?"

Xu Sang smiled and said, "I'm here to buy some bean paste. I want two kilograms."

"Give me the bowl and I'll serve it to you." Shen Yingying took Xu Sang's bowl, took it to the kitchen, weighed out two kilograms, and weighed it again in front of Xu Sang: "Two kilograms is one ounce, so it counts as two kilograms, fourteen yuan."

Xu Sang asked curiously, "If I want a bottle of it directly, how much does it cost?"

Shen Yingying said: "Ten yuan a bottle."

Xu Sang was a little surprised: "Three yuan a pound is more expensive?"

Shen Yingying said: "Yes, the bottle plus labor costs, plus sealing and packaging, will add a lot of work, so it will be more expensive."

Xu Sang nodded: "I understand." Then she took the bean paste and went home.

After a while, another villager came to buy bean paste.

Her bean paste is cheap and delicious. After eating it once, the villagers no longer buy bean paste outside.

Shen Xue Ning came back from outside and happened to see the second villager leaving.

Shen Yingying said excitedly: "Sister, many people come to our house to buy things."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Yes, there are quite a lot. Mom has been delivering things since she came back from the market today. She hasn't come back yet."

During the Chinese New Year, business has become even better and everyone in the family is busy.

As she was talking, Liu Wanwan called Shen Xuening and asked her when the new batch of bean paste would be ready, as someone wanted to order 50 kilograms of bean paste.

A new batch of bean paste has been brewed and is waiting to be sold.

Shen Xuening asked Liu Wanwan to tell the customer to leave his address and contact information so that the package could be delivered to his home.

Liu Wanwan did as she was told and then gave Shen Xuening feedback.

The other party has enough bean paste today, but it won’t be enough tomorrow, so he asked us to deliver 50 kilograms of bean paste today.

Shen Xue Ning went to the factory to pack 51 kilograms of bean paste, and then delivered it to the customer's store.

The customer was very satisfied and paid the money readily. He asked Shen Xuening to send him another 50 kilograms of bean paste in half a month. If the taste of the bean paste remained the same, he would order bean paste from her every half a month.

This was definitely a pleasant surprise, and Shen Xue Ning happily agreed.

Shen Xue Ning said: "Boss, if you introduce customers to me, I will give you another 10% discount."

The boss's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Shen Xue Ning promised: "Of course it's true. The more you refer people, the bigger the discount I'll give you."

The boss smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to you some other day and introduce you to some big clients. You have to give me a discount then."

Shen Xue Ning readily agreed: "No problem."

……

After delivering the things, Shen Xue Ning went to the dumpling shop.

Shen Xue Ning said to everyone, "We will be off work until the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. You have all worked hard. I will give you a big red envelope and you will have a good New Year."

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, boss."

Shen Xue Ning patted everyone on the shoulder: "Okay, work hard, I'll come to see you before the holiday."

Everyone said, "Boss, take care."

Shen Xuening smiled, left the shop and returned home.

……

When Shen Da saw Shen Xue Ning coming back, he waved to her and said, "Ning Ning, you're back just in time. I have something to tell you."

Shen Xue Ning asked: "What's the matter?"

Shen Da, Shen Er, and Shen San gathered together, as if discussing something, with Shen Yingying and Shen Wenxu listening beside them.

Shen Dadao: "Your grandmother will be seventy next March. We plan to hold a birthday party for her on the fourth day of the first lunar month. What do you think?"

The first month of the lunar year is the peak season for banquets in rural areas, with people holding banquets almost every day. It is better to discuss it now to avoid overlapping with others, which would be inauspicious.

After Shen Xue Ning heard this, she said, "I support holding a banquet."

After hearing what Shen Xue Ning said, the three of them felt relieved and decided to hold the birthday party on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

After setting the time, Shen Dong told the village chief the date and asked him to make arrangements. He also spread the news and asked everyone to come to his house for a banquet on the fourth day of the first lunar month and to help on the third day of the first lunar month.

This is how it is in the village. If someone is holding a banquet, you need to go to the host's house one day in advance to help take care of the chickens and ducks.

Soon everyone in the village knew that the third Shen brother was going to hold a birthday party for their mother.

Grandma Shen Bo ran into Grandma Shen and greeted her, "Is your family going to hold a birthday party for you?"

"Yes, I didn't know anything about what the kids discussed." Although Grandma Shen said this, she couldn't hide the smugness in her expression.

Grandma Shen Bo laughed and said, "Haha, the children are enjoying themselves, and you just wait to enjoy yourself."

Grandma Shen waved her hand: "What kind of happiness is there? I still have endless worries."

Grandma Shen Bo laughed and said, "Haha, I think you are showing off to me."

Grandma Shen said, "We have known each other for decades. Can I show off to you? I have always talked like this. Well, there are still many things to do at home. I will go back first."

Shen Bo's grandmother watched him go: "Go slowly, go slowly."

Grandma Shen walked with a breeze, her back straight, and she looked as if she was a few years younger.

……

Shen Xuening came to the bean paste factory and packaged the bean paste with the workers in one-pound, two-pound, and five-pound packages. After packaging, it can be stored for a longer time and is also convenient for sale to farther places.

Liu Juan can sell it at her vegetable stall, vegetable group and online store, dumpling shop, and some small shops, in multiple locations.

Especially for online stores, since the number of fans has increased, the order volume of various products has increased, and bean paste is one of them.

After packing the bean pastes, Shen Xuening immediately asked Zhang Xiaomei to send them out, because the courier company was about to go on holiday and would not be able to ship the goods after the holiday.

Zhang Xiaomei is also very busy, from morning to night. Shen Xuening decided to add two shipping staff next year.

Now that Shen Yingying is helping her, Zhang Xiaomei feels a little more relaxed.

After packing, Shen Yingying refreshed the order and saw a new order: "Sister, someone wants 20 kilograms of radishes."

"I'll go pull them out from the fields." Shen Xue Ning carried the basket on his back, went to the fields, pulled out five green radishes and walked back.

An auntie came over on the road and asked, "Ningning, are you selling your ducks?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "I want to sell it, but I can't sell much. I need it for the banquet at home next year."

The aunt asked, "I don't want to buy a lot, two is enough, how much is your duck per pound?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "I will sell as much as the market sells."

The aunt went to ask and said, "That's ten dollars."

Shen Xuening nodded: "Yes."

The aunt thought about it. The duck feed at the market costs ten yuan a pound, and the food ducks here are only ten yuan a pound. She must buy Shen Xuening's ducks: "Okay, let's buy two. I'll go to the fields with you and catch two fat ones."

"Let's go." Shen Xuening sent the green radish home and then took the aunt to the field.
