Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Thank you for the reward from Yue Zhi Garden

Since Fang Pingying was set on doing this, she needed to prepare thoroughly.

Making jam is most troublesome in that it's a liquid state; it can't just be sold immediately after preparation, and proper jars have to be purchased to bottle the jam.

At that time, plastic containers weren't widely available, and most things were stored in glass jars like those used for canned goods, so Fang Pingying had to buy some glass jars to bottle the jam herself.

The jars used at home today were a few spare ones found by Hong Lan; clearly, they wouldn't suffice for large-scale production in the future.

This meant that even before selling the product, there needed to be an upfront cost, and currently, Luo Zhiyong's salary for the month had not yet been paid out, meaning that money would have to be taken from the funds allocated for his leg injury treatment if needed.

Fang Pingying thought it over and discussed with Luo Zhiyong the idea of temporarily reallocating the money set aside for treating his leg until his salary came through, and then they'd replenish the funds.

But Fang Pingying was also worried: what if all that money was lost? If Luo Zhiyong's leg ended up needing more money, she might not have enough.

However, it was hawthorn harvest season, a prime opportunity to make some money. Missing this chance meant higher production costs later, as they'd have to buy ingredients instead of using freely available hawthorns.

Seeing Fang Pingying's tensed face, Luo Zhiyong couldn't help but smile with his typically stern face, "What's there to be so conflicted about? It's our own money; use it wherever you want to start with. If we lose it, we lose it. Who can guarantee that every business venture will turn a profit?"
