Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Chapter 399 Xia Yingying Orders Fruit from Wang's

Jingjing has figured it out now. It was just because of her stupidity that she was brainwashed by Huang Yue'er before. She kept believing in her and brainwashed herself. In the final analysis, it was because of fear. She was so scared that she lost her mind and was controlled by Huang Yue'er. She can't do this in the future.

But what Lu Haoran said was absolutely right. Now that things have passed, no matter how much self-blame you have, it can't change the fact that you have been hurt by lies.

There is a high probability that Huang Yue'er will not be able to stay in the Imperial College any longer. After she returns, she will tell her parents about the bullying she suffered in the Imperial College, so that Huang Yue'er will know that she is not someone who will just accept things passively.

The previous Jingjing seemed like a different person at this moment.

Xia Yingying and Wang sat in the carriage, eating fruit and chatting, "I don't know how Haoran and Jingjing are doing now, and whether they can adapt to the life in the Imperial College."

"Sister Xiangling, children are not as fragile as you think. Don't worry, Jingjing won't be bullied with Haoran around." Xia Yingying knew that Wang was worried about Jingjing, so she comforted her.

Through Wang's narration, Xia Yingying also knew that Jingjing might have experienced some unpleasant things in the Imperial College before, but she only had guesses and could not be sure what it was.

Wang smiled bitterly. Seeing Wang like this, Xia Yingying made a suggestion.

"If you're worried, we can call him back to take a look."

Wang shook her head.

"I'm not going back. I'll pick Jingjing up after school this afternoon and then I'll know how she's doing.

By the way, didn’t you just say you wanted to go and see the fruits in the warehouse? Let’s go together.” Wang took the initiative to change the topic to seeing the fruits, and Xia Yingying nodded. “Okay.”

"Go to the fruit dock." Wang said to the coachman.

The coachman responded and drove the carriage to the port.

"Yingying, I forgot to tell you that although it's called a warehouse, we are actually going to the port. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell so many fruits in Beijing, so I didn't move them down and put them in the warehouse." Wang explained to Xia Yingying.

"It's okay. Is your warehouse empty?" The warehouse was empty, which reminded Xia Yingying that making dried fruits requires a space, and Xia Yingying didn't have a space. After the warehouse was cleaned, it could be used to make dried fruits, which also saved the time of finding a space.

"It's empty." Wang said.

"Can you take me to see the warehouse later?" Xia Yingying asked Wang.

"Yes, the warehouse is near the dock, and it's very close."

Xia Yingying planned to check the sanitary conditions of the warehouse. If it was clean, she would have someone clean it and directly turn the warehouse into a dried fruit factory. This would also save time and energy in finding a site.

Although Wang was curious about Xia Yingying's request, she did not ask any further questions.

Because if you want to make dried fruits, you need to take off all the skins and coat them with icing sugar. Although the process is quite simple, it still requires a little bit of technical skills to make delicious dried fruits.

Common methods for making dried fruits include natural air drying, low-temperature freeze-drying, pulp drying, frying, and sugar and salt dehydration.

Among them, air drying is the simplest.

However, naturally dried fruits will not be competitive if sold on the market. If you want to make them, you have to make differentiated products. As for freeze-dried fruits, there are no refrigerators, no technology and conditions.

Xia Yingying has a refrigerator for freeze-drying, but the space is not very large. She can only freeze it for herself. If she wants to do business, she can only make ice cubes. Others need to freeze it with ice cubes when they buy it back. Not everyone can afford it. After all, ice cubes here are very expensive, and only a few can afford it.

If you choose freeze-drying with ice cubes, it will be extremely expensive. If you use sugar and salt to dehydrate, you can neutralize the sour taste of the fruit itself and increase the taste of the fruit.

All of a sudden, Xia Yingying had an idea of ​​how to deal with the dried fruits.

Xia Yingying was brainstorming, and Wang had nothing to say to her, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the dock.

The maidservant beside Wang went to the man guarding the goods at the dock. After a while, a man came to the carriage.

The servant brought a footstool, and Xia Yingying and Wang stepped on it and got off the carriage and went to the dock.

Just as Wang said, there were three large ships in the river, piled high with cargo.

"Yingying, this is the fruit I told you about. There are two boatloads of kiwis and one boatload of wolfberries. Do you really want to get so many?"

Wang asked Xia Yingying seriously again.

Maybe Xia Yingying had no idea about the goods that she had mentioned before, so she agreed so readily. Now that she has seen the real goods, she probably won't ask for so much.

"Sister Xiangling, I want them all. I really want them. Just follow the price we agreed on before." Xia Yingying was not scared by the extra goods. Instead, her tone became more determined.

Seeing that Xia Yingying was so determined, Wang didn't say anything to stop her.

"But right now I do need your help with something." Xia Yingying said to Wang.

"What's the matter?" Wang was curious.

"I want to make dried fruits, don't I? I don't have anyone in my house. If there are people in your house who want to go out and find work, you can send them to my fruit shop to help me make dried fruits. I will pay them three taels of silver per person per month."

Three taels of silver was about the same price as being a maid in the capital. Xia Yingying did not expect to let those who were used to doing light work to do the kind of work that required physical strength.

Xia Yingying had already made up her mind that when she returned, she would ask Uncle Lin to have someone post the job advertisement.

Fresh fruits do not last long, so it is best to dispose of them as quickly as possible.

So Xia Yingying plans to recruit a lot of people this time.

Get it done as soon as possible, within three or four days.

Having decided to start a dried fruit business, Xia Yingying began to inquire about the source of the fruit. Fruit is a seasonal food and cannot be eaten after the season is over.

Since Wang bought kiwis and cherry tomatoes, she must know about other fruits.

"Sister Xiangling, do you have other fruits at home? Do you have them every season? Or do you only buy this kind of fruit this season?"

"We also have fruits from other seasons, but those fruits generally have fixed buyers. This time, the supplier had a falling out with our family. You know, they refused to cooperate because of some matters in the court, so they came to me."

Wang's words were not very subtle, and Xia Yingying understood instantly that the other fruit business had nothing to do with her.

However, Xia Yingying could understand and did not kidnap Wang in disguise because of her friendship with Wang.

"I understand. Can you let me handle the kiwi and wolfberry business from now on?" It doesn't matter if there are no other fruits. Just kiwi and cherry tomatoes can be used to make dried fruits with different flavors. Xia Yingying is confident that she can do this well.

Besides, fruits can be bought from more than just Wang’s, so let’s prepare the kiwis and cherry tomatoes first.

"Okay." Wang agreed.

Her family was thinking of cutting off the fruit business, but unexpectedly she found a partner who just solved her urgent problem.

"Sister Xiangling, since we have decided to cooperate, let's go to a nearby teahouse to draw up a contract. What do you think?"

"Sure." "Please vote"
