Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Being the First to Try Something New

The relationship with Qi Taiguo was becoming increasingly amicable; Cheng Suxin felt very satisfied. Considering the man, although a bit chauvinistic, she found him overall quite agreeable, especially since he never interfered with her business dealings. He was not like other men, who would go mad if their wives earned more than they did.

"One good turn deserves another." As Qi Taiguo became more cooperative, Cheng Su became more gracious towards him. She not only prepared two large jars of jam for him to take back to his hometown but also bought some candies and supplements to send along, which made Qi Taiguo even more amiable, his face wearing a smile more often.

True to her word, Mu Yan came as promised. Cheng Su filled a large glass jar with jam and offered it as a gift, delighting her so much that she grinned from ear to ear.

"I’ve reported back to the cooperative about the jar of jam you gave me for them to try, and everyone said it was delicious. Your jam could sell, but the higher-ups want to see the results first. Could you make a few dozen bottles to send over?" Mu Yan brought the good news.

Cheng Su nodded, then said, "Not to hide anything from Director Mu, I make this jam entirely by hand. Not to mention how detailed and troublesome the process is, the labor alone is quite costly. What do you think about the price of the jam?"

It wasn’t that she was being mercenary; in business, personal feelings are one thing, but financial interests must be clearly calculated with real money.

Besides, she hadn’t lied; she really made it all by hand. Pineapples were dirt cheap, but labor was the most expensive part, with even peeling the pineapples being a big hassle.

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Su handed her a clean apple and said, "Since we’re going to sell, we must aim for quality. Here’s my plan: we’ll use glass jars for the jam, and as for the size, we’ll go by weight, how about that? One yuan for a jar of jam weighing one pound, and by the same token, two yuan and fifty cents for three pounds. What do you think?"
