Chapter 692, Soaring to Great Heights (2)_1
Mo Heng and Pei Qin both disliked sweets, yet she couldn’t move at the mention of sugar, not knowing whom she took after.
The winter melon candies were mass-produced and quickly made their way into all the major snack and dried fruit stores.
The reputation of the preserved duck eggs, also known as century eggs, had also begun to spread, and Wang’s Shop placed an additional order for ten thousand of them.
Pei Qian discussed with Pei Qin about expanding the workshop. The sale of soy sauce had increased compared to before, and the space she had borrowed in the workshop for making the preserved duck eggs was already too cramped, not to mention the need to raise bamboo rats and wild rabbits.
"If you want to raise bamboo rats, just build a separate breeding farm down at the base of Taiping Mountain, close to the mountain. That would be convenient and ideal for Zhang Dacheng’s family to look after," Pei Qin suggested. After the spring plowing, Zhang Dacheng had come to ask for a favor, saying that he and his wife, parents and two kids could handle the work on Taiping Mountain. He wanted his sons and brothers to seek work elsewhere, and Pei Qin agreed, saying she would call them back when needed.
"Build the breeding farm there, and won’t those people cause trouble?" Pei Qian still had misgivings about the people of Back Mountain Village, especially that Pei Lizheng. If it weren’t for the fact that her elder sister had taught his family to make rice noodles, they wouldn’t have been able to acquire quite a bit of land over a few years. It’s clear that ever since someone from Old Pei’s House became an official, and they were momentarily out of favor, they fawned over Old Pei’s House.
"If someone has malicious intentions, even if you build the breeding farm at home, people will still find a way to cause trouble!" Pei Qin said, chuckling as she flicked Pei Qian’s head lightly.
After thinking for a long time, Pei Qian decided against taking up good farmland near Bear River. Considering the large size of the workshop that was already built, it wouldn’t be right to occupy more land. So, she decided to build the breeding farm at the southern base of Taiping Mountain. It could be expanded in the future, and they could also enjoy the view of the sunflowers on the mountain.
