After much contemplation, I decided to adopt the strategy of "Rural Encirclement of Cities." I carefully wrapped the Dried Fruit in oil paper and divided it into small portions. Then, I sought out a few close friends from the village, particularly those who were struggling financially and whom I could trust, like Wang Xiaocao.
I told them that this was a little snack I had come up with myself and asked for their help in selling it quietly in nearby villages or when they visited relatives. I promised to share the profits with them.
The girls were both surprised and delighted! In this day and age, rural women had almost no opportunities to earn money. Having a way to make some pocket money without interfering with their farm work was naturally appealing to them! Moreover, the Dried Fruit was indeed delicious!
Thus, my "sales network" was initially established. The girls took advantage of market days, family visits, or evening trips to neighboring villages to discreetly promote my Kiwifruit Preserves. To my astonishment, the response was overwhelmingly positive!
This sweet and tangy "Dried Peach," which had previously gone unnoticed, suddenly became a hot commodity! Many who tried it praised it highly and eagerly inquired where they could buy more. Especially the children, who clamored for their parents to get some.
I set the price low, slightly cheaper than what the local supply store sold for fruit candies, but the profit was quite substantial! After all, the raw materials were nearly free!
The first batch of Dried Fruit sold out quickly! I made nearly fifty yuan—a "fortune"! After sharing the earnings with my friends, I still netted over forty yuan! It felt faster than robbing a bank!
Having tasted my first bucket of gold, my confidence soared! I immediately expanded production, taking my friends with me to pick fruit on the back mountain and processing it together in the evenings. Everyone was motivated by the prospect of earning money together!
Of course, I kept a close eye on things. The crucial cooking process was still done by me alone to ensure that my recipe remained a secret.
In just two months, thanks to selling Kiwifruit Preserves, I had secretly saved over a hundred yuan! With my pockets fuller, I felt more confident!
With the money I earned, I bought new quilts for my family, new clothes for my parents and brother, and even secretly purchased some high school review materials—I had never given up on my dream of attending university!
My changes did not go unnoticed by those around me. Zhao Chunyan observed that my complexion was becoming rosier and that I was dressing more neatly. Additionally, my friends frequently visited me with an air of mystery, filling her with doubt and jealousy.
She began to follow me like a fly, trying to uncover the secret behind my newfound wealth. Zhao Chunyan soon discovered my secret.
One evening, she stealthily followed me to the storage room in the backyard and saw me drying Kiwifruit Preserves while catching a whiff of its enticing sweet and sour aroma. Suddenly enlightened, she realized that Li Xiulian had struck it rich selling this unassuming Dried Peach!
Jealousy and greed gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake! Why should Li Xiulian—the "worthless" girl rejected by the Wang family—get to live well? Why should such good fortune not come her way instead?
With a flicker of inspiration, she concocted a sinister plan.
The next day, she deliberately approached me with feigned sincerity and said, "Sister Xiulian, I never realized you were so capable! That Dried Peach really is quite delicious!"
I scoffed inwardly, aware that her intentions were anything but good. However, I maintained an indifferent facade: "It's just something I made for fun; it's nothing special."
